Jessup-In1nan Shooting
Affair Surprises And
Shocks Tabor CitV

oTabor City received with min
gled surprise and shock last Thurs
day night the news that Arnolc
JeSSup had been taken TO Colum
bus County Hospital seriously
wounded and that his bushes:
partner, Ralph Inman, had beer
jailed as the result of a shooting
on the Pireway road several miles
from town.
Both the partners of the Jessup-
Inman Funeral home have been
prominent in local business and
civic circles and had wide
group of friends in both North
and South Carolina, who express
ed themselves as unable to believe
the shooting had taken place.
Reports Tuesday were that Jes-
sup was improving rapidly and
probably would recover success
fully.
Meanwhile, Inmar was still be-
ing held in the county Jail with
out privilege of making bail pend
ing Jessup's condition.
Early this week, the Jessup- In
man Funeral home announced in
newspaper advertisements that it
would continue to serve it's pa
irons during its present emergen-
cy through the courtesy of the
undertakers of Tabor City, Fair
Bluff, Chadbourn, and Whiteville,
who had offered to assist in the
conduct of any funeral and the
handling of ambulance calls for
the members of the Jessup-I nman
Funeral association.
The shooting has been the main
topic of Tabor City street talk for
the past week. spurred on by the
prominence, and the business and
social connections Of the princi-
piles.
Jessup, 80, is district director
of the North Carolina Funeral Di
rectorss Association, and Inman
fffanuef OF razor CITY T,nfei-lvai'
Legion Post l0l.
Each of the partners gave wide
ly divergent accounts of the shoot
ing, and gossipers who liked mel
ther account, made up accounts
of the shooting more to their own
tastes.
The town, the county, and the
nation were filled with specula-
ton as to the cause of the shoot
ing and the curious could take
their choice of some hundred
stories--all of them but one, nat
urally, wrong.
The shooting occurred on the
Pireway road while the funeral
directors were returning to town
after having conducted a rural
funeral.
So far as the general public
knew, there had never been diff
ferences between the two partners
who have been in the business to-
gether for the last three or four
wears. Each is married and the
father of three children.

U. $. Naval Ships Leave Shanghai

SHANGHAI, (P)-Heavy U. S.. naval vessels moved out of Shang- hai yesterday as two communist spearheads rolled toward the Shanghai-Hangchow area.
 The communist radio in Peiping bOaSted two nationalist armies, the 20th and 99th, had been wiped out. Two towns, lining, 85 miles west of here, and Chingtai, 60 miles southwest of Ranking, were cap tured, the radio said.
 The communist broadcast said the Nanking-Hangchow highway had been cut. Government garri- son headquarters said Red advance units were around Soochow Wuh- Sien), 40 miles west of here.
 Red capture of lining, on the west bank of Lake Tai, would mean the communists were half way to Hangchow, where some 300,000 government troops and be- lieved dug in. A rapid thrust could cut the Shanghai-Hangchow cor ridor.

AchesOn Pleads For Approval of Security Treaty

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of state AcheSon told Senators to- day that if they approve the North Atlantic Security Treaty they will be Hess free" to oppose arms aid for Europe.
 AcheSon was before the Senate foreign relations committee to plead that the Senate approve tie treaty and that Congress vote a $l,450,000,000 foreign arms pro- gram.
 The treaty, signed here April by l2 nations, will not be binding on the United States until the Senate approves it by tWo-thirds vote. The Truman administration plans also to ask the arms aid. It would require approval by a ma jority of both Senate and House In the Senate, some members have said they are inclined to vote for the treaty but doubt the wis 
 dom of the arms program. Senator Byrd D.-VaD, for one, has de- manded to know whether a vote for the treaty would be regarded as a moral commitment to support the arms aid.
 So that point was promptly raised when the foreign relations committee opened hearings on the treaty today with Acheson as the first witness.
 First off, Acheson read a long prepared statement. That said, in effect, that if the pact is approved Continued on Page Six,
