Police Call
Attention To
Air Rifle Laws

Local police officers yester-
day called attention to city ord
inances prohibiting the firing Of
air rifles and firearms within
the corporate limits of the city,
adding that they have been re-
ceiving a number of reports con-
c~lni-g isuse Of these by
small boys, particularly.
The police said there have
been several cases reported in
which windows have been brok-
en- by air rifles or where bullets
caused destruction of private
property.
They said no indictments had
been made as yet because no
guilty boys have actually been
seen in the act OF shooting their
air rifles or firearms in the city
limits. However, they pointed
against the law and pointed out
that it may be necessary to
make a few arrests or to sieze
some rifles if the firing is con-
tinued.

Bad Weather
Slows Civil
War In China

Nanking, Dec. 23-(F-Bad
weather slowed action on the
great Chinese civil war front to-
day.
The quiet was taken in some
quarters to mean that peace
feelers had been put out to the
Communists by members Of Pre-
mier Sun Fo's newly formed
cabinet. But there was no Of
ficial word from any source. i,
At least two of the cabinet
ministers, former Premier
Chang Chun and Wong Wen-Hao,
commander of the northwest
headquarters, are known to
favor a quick peace with the
Reds, who have overrun II
most half Of China. =, s7@s,
Prenifr Sun described h {
cabinet members as men who
would flight on until we can
secure an honorable peace. "
This was widely taken to mean
the government is warm to a
dicker with the Communists des-
pite their insistence a peace can
be achieved only if President
Chang Kai-Shek steps out. How
ever, Chang has not so much as
limited he will move aside.

Washington, Dec. % -(-AP)-
More cotton CHASING stations
appear likely for the south be-

Growers must have their cot

loans.

urged the Agriculture Depart :
ment to take steps to avoid a
repitition Of last falls situation,

road, died here yesterday after
noon of injuries received in an
accident about four miles north
of here on the ACL right-of-way.
According to Halifax County
Coroner Rufus Britton, who con-
Quoted an investigation of the
accident, Baker was thrown from
rail handcar on which he was
riding with Guy McGriff, an
other employee of the railroad,
when the handcar jumped h e
track.
The two men were riding from
some recently-installed block sig
nails on the car, and the accident
happened about four-thirty, ac-
cording to Britton.
McGriff was slightly bruised,
aBritton said, but was not badly
injured.
Britton said Baker was thrown
clear of the car and struck his
head on a rail, fracturing his
skull on the left forehead and the
back of the head. The coroner
said he believed either one of
the blows would have been fatal.
An ambulance was summoned
to the scene and Baker was
rushed to the office of DR.. JOY
ner if Enfield, where he died
without ever regaining conscious
ness.
A native of Four Oaks, Baker
had worked in Weldon several
years ago and returned to We'll

He is survived by his wife, who
had returned to Four Oaks only
two days ago to spend the christ
mas holidays. Her husband had
planned to join her there today.
Britton said a Smithfield fun
eral home was arranging SER
vices, plans for which are i'm
complete.
The coroner said Bakers
death was clearly accidental,
however he said the cause of the
accident is still being investigat.

Display OF Materials Shows Military
Paws Different Prices For Same Items

Army Medical and (G) Army
Field Medical.
Price tags carry the year in
which the latest purchases were
made by each service, so strict
seven-way comparison is impos-
sible.
However, the Navy officers
blanket (at 1924 each in l945) is
a few iches wider and has a blue
"USN" on its white surface,
whereas the Sailors number ($7.
30, alos 1945) is solid white.
The Marines blanket ($8 in 49,
48) is green and has a special
stripe which an accompanying
card says forces the manufac-
turer to weave it straight, even
though this slows production.
T? The Army-Air Force blanket
($7.55 in 1947) is khaki.
The Navy medical blanket ($s-
95 in l945) is white with blue
stripe, the Army medical num-
Der ($7.95 in 1946) is white with
maroon stripe and the one for
field service ($8.04 in l946) is
olive drab.
Here are three folding canvas
cots. The Navy paid $500, the
Marines $3.50 for the same
weight of canvas. The Army,
with a $6.34 price tag, points to
heavier material which it says
means twice the life of the Navy
cot.
Pillows come in five sizes.
The Marines pay $3.50 for the
same size the Army gets for ST.

Washington, Dec. % -(-AP)-
Out in a long warehouse in near
by Virginia is a dollars-and-cents
exhibit of the high cost of in
dependent buying by the Army,
Navy and Air Force.
Some 400 items of clothing and
personal equipment-things the
three services are paying $247,-
900, 900 for this year-are laid
out on counters for the edifica-
ton of red-faced military buy
ers.
The munitions board-an advi-
sorry group in the defense estab-
lishment-got the exhibit toge-
ther to convince the three SER
vices that many items should be
the same for everybody, and
cost less.
The board emphasized that it
has no intention of trying to
standardize such things as uni
forms, buttons, insignia or "dis-
tinctive items of outer clothing
which show to which service the
wearer belongs"
But blankets, undershirts,
belts, fatigue uniforms and a
host of other articles have come
under critical scrutiny.
A three-service committee is
trying to reach agreement on
such things. An announcement
from the office of Secretary of
Defense Forrestal said numerous
items can be agreed upon for
Standardization but the commit
tee Participates arguments" on
many others.
Newsmen are barred from the
warehouse at the Army Quart
ermaster Depot in Arlington ,
just across the Potomac from
Washington. The munitions
board ruled that a detailed pub
lie report of the exhibit would
embarrass the armed services.
Despite the boards ban, how
ever, a reporter recently walk
ed through the exhibit and ex-
amined every item.
The variety gets into full
swing with blankets.
There are several kinds, four
colors and diiierent markings.
