Fire Cuts Homes
In Negro Section

A roaring fire and brisk wind
combined forces here Friday
morning and Quilted two homes in
the Negro section on Sixth Street
extension as local firemen rcsorted
to The bucket brigade in saving a
third dwelling.
Blazes engulfed the home of
Won Reaves and spread TO the adj
Joining home of Catherine Melvin
before the Tabor City volunteer
firemen reached the scene.
The bucket brigade came alive
when Fire Chief Lewis Gore re-
allied there was insufficient hose
TO extend 10 the nearest fire hydr-
ant. Volunteers concentrated on
preventing the loss of the third
dwelling house and used stagnan;
water from a nearby ditch to
smother the flames. The fire was
almost under control when the
truck from tie LoriS Fire Depart
ment arrived 10 help local firemen
fight the blaze.
Most of the furnishings in the
home OF Catherine Melvin were
saved; however, the Won Reaves
family reported a complete loss of
belongings.
The origin of the fire in the
ReaveS home was undetermined.
Fire Chief Gore said, u want to
thank all of those people who
helped battle the fire. 1t was
through their urselfish efforts that
the blaze was brought under con-
troll before it RACED the entire sec
ton"

How The Polio Drive Went
Over The To., In Tabor CITY
DORIS GARRELL AND KATE
ROGERS CO-CHAIRMEN OF
TABOR CITY DRIVE

TABOR CITY DRIVE
Editors nOte-In an effort to
give you a blow by blow account
Of the successful March of Dimes
campaign, we asked the co-chair-
men to write this story. II is
quite fitting that the events be
related since it is the first time
in seven years that Tabor City
has met its quOta.)
We accepted co-chairmanship of
Tabor City'S polio drive when no
one else would accept tive had
previously refused on the grounds
that anyone else could do a better
job since we had begged for better
churches, schools and civic aCtivi-
ties and anything else that would
make Tabor City better place in
which TO live.
Although il was i job thrust
upon our shoulders we accented
1t gladly as we took it in memory
OF our civic minded citizen and
nelghbor Ann Whitney HARRISON
VINO died Just a year ago of polio.
Ann was faithful, generous, and
always willing to shoulder work
Tor ! better community.
We visited merchants and soIic-
tied money from all for several
weeks; However, the latter part OF
January found us far short of the
$500 quota. We were barely
above the S700 mark and the goal
seemed too tar away for us 10
reach. II was at this time that we
called on Ben NcSmith, III and Al
Harrison for suggestions. They
suggested basketball game be-
tween the Rotary Club and the
ClVltanS. Both clubs came TO the
rescue and the event was staged
at the local gymnaSium-it was 4
success and everyone enjoycd if
10 the utmost. Too, the March of
Dimes proSpercd TO the tune of
$3.50 that night through admission

and cake auctions. To the Civilians
and Rotarians we owe our thanks
for being such good sports and
nursing their aches and pains with
pleasure for this worthy cause.
The days continued to pass
quickly and the time was drawing
near for the polio drive to end.
Both OF us were searching for
ideas when we spotted the small
yellow tag adjoining the top of
state license plate. Yam Capitol
OF The World" stared al us from
the yellow tag and gave us our
inspiration. We would solicit vans

We decided that we might Dos
Sibly reach our goal and aid the
town of Tabor City in two WAYS.
Not only would the March of
Dimes prosper but also our dclici-

that Carolina Puerto RiCan vans

Ike Predicts
 Foreign Aid Cuts Will Hurt US.

WASHINGTON, President Eisenhower said today the for eign aid cut voted by the Senate is to deep and will hurt the United States badly. He also said it reflects some lack of compre- hension as to what the people in the Kremlin are doing.
 The President told a news con- ference that before the bill went to Congress the administration all ready had trimmed the program as much as it felt was justified.
 Eisenhower asked Congress for nearly 31a billion dollars for for eign aid. The Senate late yester- day voted to put the figure in an authorization bill at $2,610,- 100000. The House had voted $3,368, 100000.
 The President also came up with a ringing defense of Gen. George C. Marshall when asked for comment on a statement by former Secretary of War Harry Woodring that Marshall would sell out his own grandmother for personal advantage.
 Eisenhower said Marshall = who as Army chief of staff was his superior during World War II -typifies all that we look for in an American patriot.
 As to the controversy in the Senate over whether Sen. Me Carthy should be censured, Eisen- hover said in reply to a question that of course that controversy will have an effect on Republican party unity. But he said he feels he should not try to evaluate the situation in advance of any de- cision by the Senate on what course to take.

Civil Suit By Government Attempts To Revoke Bridges Citizenship

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Federal Judge O.D. Hamlin heard lengthy argument in the governments suit to revoke Harry Bridges citi- zenship yesterday but gave no in dication when he would hand down his ruling.
 Bridges, head of the independ- ent International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, moved for dismissal of the civil suit.
 Bridges, who the government has been trying to strip of his citizenship for about Is years, is a native of Australia.
 The government contends that Bridges lied about Communist party membership when he ap- piled for citizenship granted him in 1945.
 Bridges was convicted in April 1850 and sentenced to prison, but the US. Supreme Court reversed the verdict on grounds the statute of limitations had expired.
 The present civil suit, filed at the same time as the criminal charge, is not subject to the stat ute of limitations.

Susan Hayward's Husband Wants to Stop Divorce
 Proceedings and Reconcile

LOS ANGELES, R-A legal maneuver to block Susan Hay wards divorce suit has been in- stituted by counsel for her hus- band, actor Jess Barker.
 A petition of recrimination was filed yesterday with the judge who has the divorce case under submission. Attorney S. Hahn said he resorted to the little-used peti- ton because Barker did not want to file cross complaint for di- vorce.
 "He wants her back" the law yer explained. "He wants her di- vorce denied on the ground that she did things to him just as bad as the things she says he did to her."
 Some of these things came out in the four-day trial of Miss Hay wards suit last June: She said Barker tossed her into the swim ming pool and padded her. He said she provoked these acts by "unWifely behavior" that includ- ed burning him with cigarette.

Justice Dept. Plans To Prosecute Individual Communists; Funds Asked

WASHINGTON, R-The Jus tice Department has told Congress it has plans to prosecute individu- al Communists in a move aimed primarily at the party's under ground leaders.
 This was disclosed in testimony made public by the Senate Appro- priations Committee Monday. De- partment witnesses appeared to ask for more money to carry on a campaign against subversives.
 The biggest request was for $350,000 for the new Internal Se- curity Division. An additional $468,5OO is being transferred from the Criminal Division, where in ternal security matters were for merly handled.
 w. E. Foley, who headed the internal security section within the Criminal Division, said plans call for prosecution of individual Communists under clause of the Smith Act which makes it crime to advocate forcible overthrow of the government. Foley said details of this program must remain se- cret "or its success will be serious
 
 ly jeopardized."

Shaky Shotgun Union Of Army and Politicos In Control In Guatemala

GUATEMALA, R - President Carlos Castillo Armas and Guate- mala's regular army still covered their nation in shaky shotgun political union today following surrender of holdout dissident troops at the Aurora base just outside the capital.
 The defiant units, apparent ly hoping to force Castillo Armas out, had refused to honor the agreement Monday night pledg- ing the army's full support to the governing junta in exchange for the disbanding of the presidents "liberation army" of irregulars.
 Castillo Armas announced the Aurora units had surrendered last night after the presidents honor guard blocked all roads to the base and threatened to attack. He said the base commander and his second in command had been irn- prisoned.
 Armas insisted army command CTS loyal to the junta were in complete control of the country and absolute calm" prevailed. But he made no move to counter mand his order yesterday halting dissolution of his irregular units in several key provincial cities.

 Nunan was sentenced by Judge Walter Bruchhausen who said Nunan's conduct cannot be con- doned."
