Hurricane FizzIes Out
After Missing Tampa
BY the Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla, Oct. 21.-A nui-
sance hurricane which failed to
live up to advance billing flzzled
out in Florida wilderness today.
The rich Tampa Bay resort area,
once threatened with a possible
knockout punch, escaped entirely
The Florida Highway Patrol said
the storm hit inland just north of
Cedar Key, the fishing village
devastated by the Labor Day hur-
ricane.
Winds were we'll below the rs
mile-an-hour minimum for a hur-
ricane. Apparently the once
threatening blow was breaking up
harmlessly in the sparsely in
habited section of swamps and
woodland some 100 miles north of
Tampa.
For long hours the storm, rated
at rs to 80 miles an hour, was
pointed at Tampa, largest city
on the Florida west coast. Then
it lost steam and veered north.
Meteoroligist w. w. Talbot of
the Tampa Weather Bureau said
he believed mass of dry air over
this area caused the storm to
disintegrate.

"She looked up the clothing
store telephone number and it
wasn't the same" Mr.. Harris con-
tinued. THAT didn't help much. y
He said the number on the
card is an unlisted number at the

lawyer said Evelyn answers the
phone.
Evelyn was described as the
happily married mother of a
daughter.
Mr.. Stone charged that the
postal card implied he was carry
ing on clandestine love affair
with woman named Evelyn"
The plaintiff said the card en-
barrassed him and reflected on
his marital fidelity.
A store spokesman said it was
surprising" the number of people
who call Evelyn on receiving one
of the cardS-after other efforts

10000 Grid Fans Due

NC. State Today
Froternities, Sororities

In Pre-Gome Spectacle
By Lewis r. Atchison

Bowl-hopeful Maryland was to
make its Southern Conference de-
but against battered North Caro-
lima State today at College Park
in homecoming day expected
to attract more than 10000 fans
to the Terps' new stadium. The
kickoff was scheduled for 2 pm.
Pregame activities began at II
am. with a campus parade of
floats decorated by Maryland
sororities and fraternities, which
also had their houses gaily be-
decked for the occasion. The
floats also were scheduled to
parade between halves of the
football game at the stadium.
Pregame Parade.
An added feature was a pre-
game parade in the stadium, by
Maryland's 2.100 Air Force ROTC
cadets. Elaborate preparations
were made to duplicate the mill
tary setting of games attended
by the West Point Cadets and
Annapolis Midshipmen.
Maryland, still snaky from it's
narrow escape at underdog
Georgetown's hands last week,
nevertheless was rated a three
touchdown favorite over the Wolf
pack. Terp victory hopes were
raised by the return of Halfback

said the Langston withdrawal was
effected to permit the regrouping
of French forces into new stra-

the French will go on the offen-

is completed.

Thomas Is Replaced
By Ward as Head
OF Laborers' Local
Executive Board
Gusts Leader After
Red Charge Is Aired

Henry Thomas, president of
Local IA of the AFL Building
Laborers' Union since June II,
1948. was officially replaced by
Hubert Ward at an emergency
meeting" last night of the Execu-
tive Board, officials said today.
Mr.. Thomas was previously
tried and charged with Com
munist leanings, but a member
ship meeting Wednesday night
broke up in confusion when the
matter was debated. 1t will come
up again at the November ! mem
bership meeting.
Two board members claimed
they were threatened by Thomas
adherents and followed after last
nights meeting of the board and
they later sought police protec-
ton. They said ninth precinct
police promised that scout car po-
licemen would keep an eye on
their homes.
Sampler Issues Statement.
Thomas G. Sampler, the locals
secretary treasurer, announced
that this statement was author
lied by last nights board meeting:
Under provisions of Article S,
Section 9 and Article IA, Section
6. the executive board of Local IA
orders that due to the emergency
of not having president for the
local union, that Hubert Ward,
vice president, is hereby declared
president pro tempore of Local
IA and is authorized to act as
president of Local "a in con-
formity with Article S, Section 2
of the constitution, except he shall
not sign any official documents or
checks until a decision is reached
at the next regular meeting of the
membership.
Thomas Actions Banned.
Henry Thomas, suspended
president, is not to act or speak
or do in any manner for Local IA
as it's president until two-thirds
of the membership present and
voting overrides the decision of
the trial board"
Mr.. Sampler explained that in
addition to himself, these board
members were present: Leroy
Ford, recording secretary; Mr..
Ward. who presided over the
Roy Fambrough. Ray
mond Jones and Richard Cross.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Thomas, who is
standing pat and declares only
the membership can oust him, was
in his Office with some of his
friends at 523 New Jersey avenue
NV. He contends the "emer-
gency meeting" of the board was
illegal because he was not present
as a member. And he says he is
keeping the key to his Office and
will occupy it.
Threats Are Charged.
Mr.. Sampler charged today that
Mr.. Thomas friends threatened
to string up board members.
The secretary treasurer contended
that William Gray, business agent,
was a principal mover in this.
After he got into his car to drive
home and picked up Mr.. Ford, Mr..
Sampler said he was followed by
Mr.. Gray and others to Third and
E streets NE. Mr.. Sampler said
he went to ninth police precinct
and lodged complaint.
The basis of the charges
against Mr.. Thomas was that he
used union funds to attend an
alleged Communist-front organi-
zation, the Trade Union Confer
ence for Negro Rights, in June at
Chicago and conferred there with
nigh-ranking Communists, Mr..
Sampler declared.
