PETITIONS URGE
DAYLIGHT SAVING
Only Three Unfavorable
Responses Received,
Says Benson

City Manager J. R. Benson said
yesterday that he h a d received
five petitions bearing several
hundred names and numerous
letters from many other Whining
ton residents urging that daylight
saving time be proclaimed for the
city of Wilmington.
Thus far, he said, he had re.
ceived only three unfavorable re-
sponses relative to the time
change since he asked last week
that Wilmingtonians inform him
as to their wishes on the matter.
One of these three, Benson, ex.
planned, : came from without the
county.
When asked whether or not the
daylight saving s j t would
come up at the next meeting Of
the city council, he replied thai
it depended upon the reaction Of
the city's people.
"It is a matter which concerns
all of the people OF the city," he
said, land we need to know how
they feel about the change before
any action is taken" .
A law passed by the general as
sembly in 1881 gave to the gov
erning body of the city the right
to order a change to daylight saw
ing time between April l and o.
tober : l, and city officials said
that as far as they knew the law
was still in effect,

Bodies Ma1gled

RICHMOND, Va, April s-Ug-
A twin-engined Army bomber
crashed in a roaring dive into a
thicket 18 miles South of here to-
day, killing the five persons
aboard and showering the woods
with burning Wreckage.
The Richmond Army Air base
said the AIS carried two crew.
men and three passengers and
was enroute on a routine flight
from Myrtle Beach, S. c., to
Boiling field at Washington.
All of the bodies were burned
and mangled almost beyond rec
ognition and Identification was dit
ficult. Names were withheld until
next of kin could be notified.
John Anthony, a farmer VINO
was working a few hundred yards
away, said h e plane apparently
was searching for an emergency
landing spot in a loW-hanging fog.
Plane Nose Dives
He said the pilot circled a field
at about $50 feet altitude and then
flew low over the woods. Anthony
said the plane suddenly nose dived
and crashed before the pilot could
pull it out of the dive by applying
power.
Capt. Richard A. Grant, investi-
eating officer from the air base,
said the plane was apparently in
almost a vertical dive when II
struck the ground. A watch found
on one of the victims fixed the
time of the crash at 1l:l5 am.

the C~entralia mine explosion. A
the same time the embattled sec
rotary moved to prevent a recur-
renee Of that disaster by closing
518 soft coal mines condemned as
unsafe.
The President told his press con.
ference that he had no intention
Of removing Krug from office, as
the coal union leader had urged
before a Congressional subcom-
mittee a few hours earlier.
He refused to comment on the
lurid charges Of "butchery'' and
incompetence raised against Krug
by Lewis, who held the secretary
directly responsible for the Ill
miners killed in last weeks Cen
tralia disaster.
But Mr.. Truman said Krug was
staying on in the cabinet and that
he regarded him as an efficient
public officer.
That view was challenged scorn-
fully by Lewis, who went before
House Labor subcommittee to
testify on proposed mine safety
legislation and expanded his testi-
mony into an extraordinary per
sonal attack on Krug.
DenOunces Krug
Lewis denounced Krug as the
"arch-criminal' of the Centralia
and said that the mines
had been turned into slaughter
houses" under his administration.
He asked Congress to adopt a joint
House-Senate resolution calling
upon President Truman to GUST the
secretary.
Lewis also denied that the recent
court decision ordering
him to reinstate the United Mine
contract with the govern
ment had anything to do with the
present mine shutdown, which he
ordered as a six-day memorial
to the Centralia victims.
He said the miners will return
to work Monday in ANY mine that
is safe to enter" but he added
bluntly that the UNIV might call

Truman Plan
Test
Amendment Gives u. n.
Restricted Power To
Halt Aid Program

WASHINGTON, April 3.--(R)-
The Senate Foreign Relations com.
mittee stamped 10 to 0 approval
on President Humans Greek and
Turkish aid program today after
lacking on an amendment giving
the U. N. restricted power to halt
the program.
1t was the first big test OF the
proposal to bolster the two Medi-
terranean countries against Com.
munism by granting them $780,.
600, 900 worth of financial and
limited military aid.
A Senate vote may come next
week. Meantime, an Associated
Press survey showed a majority
of the House Foreign Affairs com.
mittee also favors passage.
The Senate committee approved
a modified version of an amend.
ment written by it's chairman,
Senator Vandenberg CR-Mich).
This new version, worked out after
consultation with Undersecretary
of State Dean Acheson, reads:
THE President is directed to
withdraw any or all aid authorized
herein under any of the following
circumstances:
"(1) If requested by the gov.
ernments of Greece and Turkey,
respectively, representing q ma
jority Of the people of either such
nation;
"(2) If the President is official
ly notified by the United Nations
that the Security Council finds
with respect to which finding the
United States valves the exercise
of the veto) Or that the general
assembly finds that action taken
OF assistance furnished by the
United Nations makes the continu.
ance of such assistance unaeceS,
sary or undesirable;
Third Clauses
500 If the President finds that
any purposes Of the act have been
substantially accomplished by the
action of any other intergovern-
mental organizations Or finds that
the purposes Of the act are m.
capable of satisfactory accom-
plishment."
The original Vandenberg amend,
ment gave the u. N. the power to
stop the program by a 7-out-of-11
vote of the Security Council Or q
majority vote Of the General as
sembly.
At first glance, the language o.
the new version appeared to raise
the possibility that Britain, fol

GROWERS OPPOSE
CHANGE OF time
Vegetable And Flower
Group Against Daylight
Saving Time

Vegetable and flower growers
of the Wrightsboro district last
night went on record as being
staunchly opposed to adoption of
daylight saving in New Hanover
county for the summer months.
Action by the group was taken
at the regular annual Farmers
Night" meeting of the Kiwanis
club, when the clubmen were
guests of the farmers at a bounti-
full dinner served in the Wrights-
boro clubhouse.
Some sixty Kiwanians and farm
ers sat down around the we'll
laden tables for an exchange OF
views and good fellowship. Vice
president George D. Conant pre-
sided over the first phase of the
program and then County Agent
r. H. Gallphin took over and in
troduced Neil Bolton, agricultural
representative for the Tide Water
Power company.

At this point Commissioner Trask
again reminded the board that he
was anxious for Mrs. Bryant. who
on Wednesday had said that some
Inmates had been deprived of meals
upon severaloccasions, to be recall
ed before the board for a hear
ing.
"Mr. Carter told mt he was
surprised at me-" Mrs. Bryant in
formed the commissioners.
"He told me last night that I
had told the truth but that I'd
told too much" she added.
She then r%ecounted how she had
gone into the city last night to
confer with a sister, who advised
her to contact Commissioner
Trask.
When asked by Commissioner
lGardner what part of the testi-
mony Carter had objected to, Mrs.
bryant said "All of it." .
She then told briefly of her life's
history, pointing out that she was
a native of Clinton, and had lived
here for the past five years dur
ing which time she had worked
at the shipyard for three years.
and at the Shamrock Inn until it
closed down.
She closed her remarks by tell
ing the board that her things were
packed.
I'm going to leave tonight. I've
enjoyed working here with the In

new TELEPHONE
PLANS REVEALED
Local Southern Bell Man.
ager Reveals Exten
sion OF Service Set

Additional telephone facilities for
the City of Wilmington doomed yes
terday with the announcement by
o. G.. Balm, manager OF the local
office of the Southern Bell Tele-
phone company, that those now on
the waiting list in the community
for telephones will probably be
served during the year.
Balm pointed out that telephone
lines have been extended into the
Castle Hayne are and the plans
we're being formulated to extend
lines out the Market Street road
to include Hampstead sometime
this year.
He explained that the shortage
of materials during 1916 delayed
the expansion program OF the
company but pointed out that de-
spite the shortages 1887 addition
nj telephones were installed in Will
mington.
"We are proud that we added
$3.50 rural telephones In North
curing l5fo,. WAAANAt "~S -
gain of 90 per cent over the pre-
vious year and a gain OF 3o'ooo
rural telephones in the nine SOUTH
eastern states" Balm said.
