Government Sues 10 Upset
ICc Wharfage Ruling

A Federal court here yesterday
was asked to set aside q ruling
of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. which held that
railroads do not have to foot the
bills for wharfage and handling
costs for materials hauled by
them and shipped from two
Army piers at Norfolk, va.
The suit was filed by Justice
Department attorneys in behalf
of the United States In the
United States District Court for
the District Of Columbia. It
named. as q second defendant,
the United States, making the
latter both a plaintiff and de-
fendant in the suit.
The piers involved were for
merly rented by the Government
to private enterprise to which
the railroads had to pay the
wharfage and handling costs, 1t
was pointed out. Because OF the
Korean conflict, the Army took
over the piers in May, 1851. Since
then the railroads have not paid
for the wharfage and handling
costs, it was said, and the ICC
has ruled they need not do so.
The suit does not name the
railroads. However. about eight
are involved. according to JUS
tice Department spokesman
More than 100000 is involved
In the wharfage and handling
charges, a spokesman said.

its leaves braved the blow. But
they are dancing merrily in the
gentle winds that have followed
the hurricane.
An imaginative person can list
en- to the whisper of the zephyrs
through the remaining leaves and
hear in fantasy a song of promise
that spring will bring a gay, new
coat tnat will make the old tree
as beautifully fresh and lovely as
1t was when the father Of his
country sought its shade to ad-
dress Tar Heel gathering.
Some 20 or more years ago, one
of the national tourist bureaus
(after intensive research and au-
thentication) issued an illustrated
map of Washington's tour of
North Carolina. 1t pictured the
live oak that stands near the gen.
eral store established about 80
years ago by w. E. Trip, on Viii
lage Points or 6 miles from
Shallotte. 1t related as fact
Washington's speach beneath its
boughs.
The huge old tree is on the
edge of the property occupied
by the house built by Nephronius
Russell before the Revolutionary
War won the American colonies
their independence from the Eng
lish crown. 1t has not been auth
enticated, but on Village Point it
is taken for granted that General
Washington was a guest in the
old Russell home-if not for the
night, at least for a meal.
SAGE OF VILLAGE POINT"
That is the assumption, any
how, of the Sage of Village
FONT as most everybody
in Brunswick county knows, is
92-year-old Uncle Jim" Trip.
That isn't all General George
did, either" says the Sage. 1T
being a hot day, his handkerchief
was all but water-logged. So he
washed it out at the horse trough,
and spread it on the live oak to
dry while he was making a
speach. You've heard about count
less places where George slept,
but you can be sure of one place
where he Sweated and where he
spoke:-right yonder under that
old live oak"
AS Uncle Jim" spoke breeze
blew up. The upper limbs of the
gigantic oak bent before it-for
all the world as if it were nod
ding assent and re-living a men,
DRY of that long gone day when il
sheltered the first President of the
United States from the hot sun OF
newly born State of North Car
