RESIGNATION Of Convicted
Pastor Finally Accepted

was accepted after some argu-
ment.
Church Elder Gordon Parks told
the congregation:
"It's an insult to DR.. Lewis to
offer such a resolution. He is aware
of the divided sympathy in this
church."
He was interrupted when some
one shouted from the audience.
"We are prosecuting an innocent
man."
The resolution expressed the
congregations deep regard for
DR.. Lewis and "our sympathy for
him and his family in view of the
trouble which he has faced and
which still ~confronts him."

night will climax the opening day.
He is expected to urge bipartisan
support of the Marshall Plan"

But everything the official con-

Political talk was heightened by
the presence of Dewey, a leading
COP Presidential aspirant, Gov.
Earl Warren of California, and
Gov. Dwight Green of Illinois.
Since his arrival Dewey has
maintained the appearance of

steady stream of national and
state COP leaders in and out OF
the Dewey suite.
Green spent a similarly busy
weekend. Both he and Warren

choices of Dewey for the vice
presidential position on the 1913
COP ticket.

EMPLOYMENT HITS
NEW RECORD HIGH
First Quarter Report Shows
5000 More Thar In
Peak War Month

RALEIGH, July 13-P-Despite
an upswing in the volume of un-
employment claims paid by the
Employment Security commission
during the first quarter of 1947,
Henry E Kendall, commission
chairman, today reported that en-
ployment still is above the peak
month of World War II by more
than 5000 workers.
With $50 firms, representing ap-
proximately 5000 workers, unre-
ported as of June 30, the 1891
covered firms reported employ
ment in January of 607, 876; in
February, COS, 1853; and in March,
GOA, 007. The average for the three
months was sos, 1872.
Unreported firms, Kendall said,
shsllld bring the total to. about
612, as compared to 606, 600
workers for the peak month Of
the war in November, 1912.
Slight Dip
More than half of the 600, 600
workers are employed in manufac-
ture. Kendall stated. While the
trend in manufacturing employ
ment was slightly down in March,
the dip was not nearly so decided
as in construction, transportation
and trade. Employment in the
service industries increased by
some 500 workers during the three
month, and employment in the
real estate and financial group
increased by nearly as much.
Employers paid their workers
more than 1920, 600, 900 during the
first quarter OF 1947, for an all
time record. In the wal years,
total wages averaged close to 800
millions a year. At the present
rate, 1947 wages should reach near
81, 200, 900, 900.

A BOMB SECRETS
RETAKEN BY FBI
Agents Said To Have
Known About Theft
Three Months Ago

CHICAGO, July Is - W.D -
Atomic bomb secrets which Earn
est D. Wallis is accused of having
stolen were recovered from him
by G.-Men nearly three months
ago but no action was taken
against him until his sudden ar
rest yesterday, his attorney said
tonight.
Wallis, "a, one Of two former
Army sergeants charged with
thefts from the Los Alamos IN.
NJ atom bomb project while they
were in service, was arrested by
agents of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation yesterday in the Paul
Stone-Raynor Photographic studio.
The studio, on Chicago's Michigan
boulevard, was purchased by Wal
lis last year.
Attorney julius Schwartz said
Wallis had taken some negatives
and prints just before he left the
Army, believing they were out
dated as secrets. He said Wallis
took the material in good faith
and had kept them in: an unlocked
drawer in his studio, with the idea
Of perhaps writing a magazine ar
ticle some day.
The G-Men, Schwartz said, ques-
toned Wallis last May, told him
he should not have taken the mega
tives and prints, but took no other
action. Wallis freely turned the
negatives and prints over to the
G-Men, he said.
Schwartz described the situation
as "a tempest in a teapot"
Wallis is being held incommuni-
cado at Chicago police headquar-
tiers for the U. S. marshal. He
will be arraigned tomorrow be-
fore U. S. Commissioner Edwin K.
Walker here.

Boy In Plane

MELBOURNE, Fla, July 10 -
U.D - The story of death and
rescue in. a Florida jungle were
told today by some of those who
survived the crash of a DEB air
liner that plunged into a coastal
swamp and killed 81 passengers.
The full story was still I'M
known. The two pilots were dead.
Investigators could only piece to-
gether the accounts from those
who had survived, stories told in
broken English and Spanish.
Even what they told was not
easy. They had suffered shock for
hours during their ordeal in the
swamps, lying in water beside the
bodies of their dead companions.
Fourteen-year-old Frank Go1za-
lez, of New York, believed he was
the only passenger awake when
the twin-engind plane began to
have trouble

Whereas, the Governor of Arizo-

(Article w, Part 2, Section - with
authority to call special session
of the Legislature, whenever in his
judgment it is advisable, and to
specify the subjects to- be consid-

Whereas, it appears advisable to
create an Interstate Stream Com

THE PEOPLE SPEAK

Dear Editor of the Sum-.
l wish to commend the SUN for
, the stand it takes on the manner
in which the election of officers of
the N.A.A.C.P. was carried out in
the last meeting. heartily approve.
The organization stands for ad-
vancement. Anything done in an
underhanded way is degrading and
is a reflection on the purpose of
the organization. 1t is shameful for
the leadership of our city to let
such as that happen-and in my
opinion, will be more shameful to
have to send petition to head
quarters to get justice for the mem
bers, as that will be reflection
on the integrity of the Organiza-
tion leaders.
The President has power to de-
clare the election illegal and de-
mand a fair election-that, in my
opinion would be better than noti-
flying headquarters and exposing
our weakness. I hope every one
will reconsider, and the ones re-
sponsible for what happened will
see themselves as the other fellow
sees them, and will use his better
judgment and be goevrned by plain
common sense and reason and be
willing to allow every one chance
but if they won't listen to reason
there isn't anything else left to do
but to demand a change.
We must take under considera-
ton that this organization does not
