W. D. BROOKS
RESIGNS FROM
COUNTY POST

w. D. Brooks, who has been
auditor, tax collector and tax
supervisor of Columbus County
over a period of six years, will
leave the service of the county on
July 1.
The resignation of the widely
known public official was an
nounced today by w. F. Floyd,
chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners.
Brooks asked to be relieved in
order to devote his full time to
his business and farming inter
eStS.
In his triple supervisory posi-,
ton, Brooks had approached the
status of county manager and
was generally regarded as the
county's mosi valuable public
servant.
His resignation was acted upon
at a special meeting of the COM
missioners Thursday night. One
of the oddities of the meeting was
the difficulty of getting a motion
to accept the auditors decision.
All commissioners shook their
heads when a motion was sug-
gested and the auditor actually
had to begin "politicking" on his
own to obtain a motion. Leamon
P Ward finally made the accep-
lance motion at the insistence OF
Brooks and other commissioners
reluctantly concurred.
Floyd said today that the re-
signation was accepted with deep
regret and that a resolution OF
appreciation for Brooks services
probably would be adopted at a
later meeting.
Brooks issued the following
nublic statement this morning:
"Due to other interests which
will require my attention, it has
become necessary for me to re-
sign my position with Columbus
County effective July 1st, l9ol'

Mansfield Seeks Names
|Of Ships in China Trade

/ Representative Mansfield, Dem
ocrat, of Montana, yesterday
asked the Navy and Maritime Ad-
ministration for a list of Ameri-
can-owned vessels flying foreign
flags which may be carrying war
materials to Communist China.
In letters to Secretary Of the
Navy Matthews and Vice Admiral
E. L. Cochran, chairman OF the
Maritime Administration, Mr..
Mansfield said it had come to his
attention that q considerable
number" Of such ships are en-
gagged in Communist China trade.
"It is reprehensible indeed if
American ship owners are en-
gagged in such trade with Com
munist China, and 1t Is my firm
belief that the sooner that this
information is made public and
the names of these individuals
known, the better it will be for
the security of the United States, I"
the Montanan said. He is a men,

DETROIT, June 9.-America's
most up-to-date union headquar-
ters-the CIO United Auto Work.
ers' solidarity House" - was
formally dedicated today
Streamlined and spacious but
not plush, the four-story brick and
sandstone structure is nestled
among swank hotel apartment
houses overlooking the Detroit
river.
l UAW President Walter Reuther,
who described himself as half
the architect" said the building
and furnishings cost "$1 a men,
ber-$1 $50 ,000."
The big union already owned
the three-acre site, formerly the
estate Of the late Edsel Ford. It's
medical center will continue to
occupy the Ford House.
Offices of the four top UAW
officials look out through massive
picture windows onto the river and
would be the envy of many top
industry executives. Mr.. Reuther's
for instance, is only 20 by "a feet
but is striking, with walnut PANEL
ing on two sides and a modern
STRAW cloth" covering on the wall
opposite the picture window.
The headquarters is H-snaped,
180 by 180 feet overall. It will be
the nerve center for the interna-
tional unions far-flung operations
and provide Office space for some
900 employees.
All UAW divisions in the De-
troit area will be housed there
except the Ford department and
the West Side regional directors,
which will remain on the other
side of town. Because the union
had outgrown its old headquarters
a few miles away, it had been
forced to rent space in various sec
tions of the city to house several
departments.
Mr.. Reuther said the old head
quarters, purchased by the UAW
| for $50 900 in 1942, had been sold

features of the new building. In
the river behind it, workmen have
built sun deck for employees
by covering the old pilings which
supported Mr.. Ford's big boat
house before it burned down.
Mr.. Reuther pointed out that
plans for the building were drawn
up with an eye to the future. The
foundation was built so that four
more stories could be added.
We're already deep in pensions,
capitalization and other activities"
said the ambitious labor leader.

Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1951-02-21

In three more months, the Tabor
City town elections are going to be here
again. The thing has been mighty quite
around here and to date the usual en-
thusiasm has not burst into blossom.
Tabor City has the definite asset of
being interested in it's local government
and the town election in the past has
always been time of enthusiasm and
actual desire of local persons to succeed
in their bids for election and reelection.
Let's hope that that some competitive
spirit will be the case in this election.
There's no doubt that to serve the
town of Tabor City in an official caPa-
city is a burdensome headache. 1t is
one of those things that persons seek
despite it's thankless citizens. To be
member of the town board is certainly
no financial advantage. Its prestige is
