Australia 10 Claim
Continental Shelf
By the ASsceioisd Press

CANBERRA, Australia. Sept.
10.-Commerce Minister John
McEwen announced yesterday
the Australian government will
proclaim sovereignty over the
continental shelf extending out
from her coasts. The United
States took a similar step in
1945, claiming control of oil un-
der its shelf waters.
Mr.. McEwen made the an
nouncement in introducing bill
in the Australian House of Rep
resentatives aimed at control of
pearl fishing in waters near the
Australian mainland. He said
that negotiations with Japan for
pearling agreement had been
broken off.
The continental shelf extends
out to the 100-fathom (6O0-foot)
depth. In some areas around
Australia it reaches out 200 miles
from the Shoreline.
Under international law, how
ever, only those waters within
three miles of the shore are
recognized as within the terri
tory of any nation.

For Divorce With AIimony
BY the ASsoeioted Press

CAIRO, Egypt, Sept. 10
Former Queen hartman has
filed suit for divorce and asked
$14,350 a month alimony from
exiled ex-King Farouk. But she
''has no plans so far" to claim
the custody Of their 19-month-
old son, her lawyer said.
The attorney, Sheikh Muhar-
ram Fahim, announced the di-
vorce action yesterday. He said
hartman charged adultery, NAL
treatment, mental cruelty and
estrangement.
Farouk is living near Rome,
With him is the boy, who legally
was King-Fuad u-from Fa-
rouk's forced abdication on July
26, 1852, until the declaration Of
an Egyptian republic June 18.
Nineteen year -old hartman
fed Egypt with Farouk but re-
turned last March and since
has lived quietly with her mother
in Heliopolis, a Cairo suburb.
Fahim said a summons would
be served on Farouk in Italy by
the Egyptian Embassy.

U. 5. General Proposed
For U. N. Palestine Post
By the Asseeietsd Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 10.-Informed sources said
today 1t. Gen. Raymond A.
Wheeler, former Army chief of
engineers, has been proposed by
the United States to head the
U. N. relief and works agency
for Palestine refugees.
The post rates the rank of an
assistant secretary general of
the United Nations and $4,000
a year in salary and allowances.
It has been vacant since the
resignation of John B. Bland
ford, jr., in February. The
United States, chief contributor
to the agency. is understood to
have control over appointment
of it's chief, although the privi-
lege nominally belongs to Secre-
tary General Dag Hammarsk-
jold.
The main task Of the agency,
set up in 1850 by the U. N. Cen
eral Assembly, is the care Of
nearly a million Arab refugees
of the 1948 Palestine war
through long range develop
ments and more immediate aid.

turn of the century, Wright said,
THE roads were nothing but sand
beds and mud holes and not many
people went on any long trips" he
paused and his infectious grin re-
appeared before he finished his
statement About the only people
that took long trips were the con-
NictS on their way to the peniten-
tiary."
Wright is reluctant to predict
how many more years he will con-
tinuc his rich life: however. he
pointed out that his father lived
to the ago of 81 and an uncle was
SO years old at the time of his
death. Wright has brother living
who is IS years of age. He secretly
hopes to continue in good health
for Il number of years.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1953-10-07

The only thing about the trim that
took lot OF time was getting on
and of OF trains--l changed trains
about every hundred miles"
AT that time there were no
freight cars according To Wright
ana the passenger cars weren't
anything like those of tolay but
they were the best they had at
the time.
-" seats for passengers were
located on both ends Of the car
vi e the center section of the car
was used % store baggage. The
netting system was simple but
e!fcct:He-a pot EclIied stove was
located at each end of the car
and tina. was al they used to heat
tho cars.
The only exciting thing on my
long trip was passing through a
tunnel" said Wright. He was
a'ic[ to limit that such an Incl
den, these days went unnoticcd
but his experience reached back
oHcr tn" years "'hen going through
tunnels vas tine latest word in
new experiences.
When asked about the repu-
tatiOn Tabor City acquired for
being quite rowdy and Iawless
he defended the reputation of
Tabor City.
Tabor City had the name for
1t but 1t wasn't rightfully theirs.
Most of the meanness was 60
ing on in the 'jamb'section back
in the old days: yet. Tabor City
got accused of it,"
wright devoted few minutes
to mentioning administrative Ell
ficiency today as compared with
that at the turn of the century.
The only law suit ever got
tangled up. in was due to some bad
bookkeeping on the part of the
county, he said. To-day. people
wouldn't put up with such poor
bookkeeping but back then there
wasn't too much ~n-omc could do
about it."
A slight CLEAN came to his
eyes as he shifted the converse
ton to farming and asserted.
I'm 1908 the best grade of tobacco
man had wouldn't bring over
six cents pound; however. I
noticcd today III the PAPER where

He attributes his long life to
hard labor and keeping regular
hours. People should take better
care of themselves" ne said as u
word of advice TO those who wish
To live a long rich life.
There's one thing I'd like for
everyone to know" said the
friendly farmer who has accum-
ulated vast amount of wisdom
through the years." and il is
that the town of Tabor City is
the best town for farmers in
the entire state of North Caro-
lima"
ii was a fitting tribute to a
town that Wright has watched
grow from birth 10 its present
slogan The town with u city
future"

The fact is that many of these
erstwhile Croesuses and Hetty
Greens will be coming through
with less for Uncle Sam than
the Government girl, or boy, who
audits their 1858 returns.
Form 1040 will be discovered

never been born. However. there
is for these a considerable hope
that the hesitant, frightened
years are ending; that after the
great unemployment of 1858 will
come a SUMMER day when work
will be steady. Paychecks too.
QUALITY FOR QUANTITY:
Just short of midpoint 1858, it
has dawned upon every one that
Hollywood will make 100, or
fewer, pictures this year. This is
approximately one-fourth of the
production of the halcyon years,
before television and the tech
nical revolution which has
brought third dimension and
Wide-Screen processes. 1t is the
combination of these two, not
video competition alone, that has
created the condition of SLOW
down and transition.

are the especially stunning ones.
Even if the figures are subject
to change-as all Hollywood fig
ures are, including Marilyn Mon
roe's-they are downright start
ling.
Paramount, the story goes,
will limit itself to II productions
in 1858. When the living was
easy after the end of World War
II, the studio operated on a
schedule of more than 40 pic
lures. The last figure on Goth
Century-Fox was that Daryl
Zanuck's program called for 13
feature productions and Metro,
the other major, perhaps a cou-
pie mere.
Even if the figures are re-
adjusted, a probability, all this
signifies a lot of enforced idle
ness in the Paradise of the Pa
cific.
