Not Considering
Other Sites Say
Shell Officials

Encouraged by the unanimous
State Supreme Court decision.
upholding New Castle Levy
Court in rezoning a portion of
Blackbird Hundred for heavy
industry, Shell OIL Company will
continue TO press to establish a
refinery there.
Published reports over the
weekend that Shell was "active-
ly considering another site"
we're branded as completely
false.
AS this newspaper reported
months ago, Shell had made ex-
tensive surveys from Maine to
Florida to locate a site, and
finally boiled their reports to
three locations. OF these,
Blackbird Hundred was con-
sidered the most feasible. This
is still the contention of Shell
officials, who authorized op-
tionings of land in the area.
There is still one obstacle,
1t is pointed oat. The Chancery
Court has before it the quest
ion of whether or not establish
ment of refinery would'create
a nuisance" or threaten water
supplies and do other damage
to the area If the petro-chem-
ical complex is erected. Judge
Isaac D. Short II has yet to rule
on this question. Should there
be a favorable conclusion from
Chancery Court, Shell is ready
to exercise its options, official
say.
The weekend report that an
other site was under con-
sideration brought reaction In
the area. John E. Wilson, Jr.
of Smyrna, chairman of Oper-
alton NEED, New Employment
for Economic Development,
said 'This opposition to Shell
has gone beyond any point of
reason. Wilson laid the blame
at the feet of Wilmington news
papers whose opposition to the
refinery has been expressed
editorially over a long period
of time.
Wilson said that he "iust
couldn't believe that a depart
ment of the federal government
would make statement to the
effect that Shell was looking
elsewhere. "How ridiculous can
these people get7" asked VII
son. "An investigation as shown
that about 1900 ducks and
other assorted birds visit the
Bombay Hook every year. With
the proposed u, 900 acres the
Federal government will now
own, this is just about TWO birds
per acre.
1T Is about time that this VIII
mington newspaper outfit pays
less attention to "Mr. Duck"
and thinks a little bit about
s'Mr. Man"
Wilson also pointed out that
worrias of conservationists
concerning an oil spill are
''pretty silly. He said that
when ships discharge crude oil
at the refinery (once 1t is built)
or take on the finishedproducts
all valves will be of the ''but-
terfly" type, that automatically

Detroit Labor Union
Man Gers High
Civ Position

Detroit (ANP)-Theodo Nor
gan, Negro labor leader, last week
was named to a key $10,7O0-a-
year post in the Department Of
public Works (DPW) here by
Mayor Cavanagh.
Morgan, replaces John Gavie as
secretary to DPW Commissioner
Glenn c. Richards.
The secretarial post is one of the
highest positions ever achieved by
Negro in a city administrative
office. Only Alfred M. Pelham,
city's controller, and Assistant
Corporation Counsel Frederick G.
Byrd have higher paying positions.
Morgan is vice president of the
Trades Union Leadership council.
This organization, comprised MAIN
ly of Negro unionists, spearheaded
Negro support for Cuvanagh dur
ing the past election.
The 47-year-old Morgan also is
recording secretary for Chrysler
UAW Local 7.
While Morgan's job title would
indicate his responsibility to Rich
ards, in actuality he will serve as
the political "eyes and ears" of the
mayor in the DPW.
According to Richards, his secre-
tary's duties will include special
assignments for the mayor, an
swering complaints, and meeting
with homeowner groups.
Traditionally, secretaries to the
DPW and to the water and public
lighting commissioners have served
as important cogs in Detroit may
ors' political teams. All three are
appointive jobs.
Morgan has been active in poll
tics for several champaigns. Much
of his pre-Cavanagh efforts were
in behalf Of Councilman William
T. Patrick, Jr.
Richards predicted that a Negro
secretary would be a valuable ad-
dition to his staff, noting that
there are approximately 1900 Ne
gro employees among the 5000
workers in his department. Most
are in the garbage and rubbish de-
tails.
Morgan, and his wife, Alice, live
in the city.

We Apologize
Q For the third time attraC

For the third time attractions have booked in
good faith have failed to appear
First it was Joe Turner, who after signing con-
tract with us did not appear in October.
Next it Little Willie" Johns who did not
show on Dec 16 and neither he his agent made any
excuse.
Sunday night Jan. 81, third attraction THE
Coasters failed to appear and again terribly
embarrassed
Q We are taking legal action in each of these in
stances to satisfy losses in public esteem and money
for the failure of these artists to show up
We are making this statement because
that there are persons dance patrons who do not under
stand that have operated in good faith that sent
advances to each of the attractions per contract
and were of amazed and chagned when they did
not appear
It has been earnest desire to provide Twin
City dance and music lovers the top Negro attractions
travelling but these three instances of the artists vola
ing their contracts to appear may have undermined
public confidence in efforts
We make this statement in good faith and want
the public to know that each of the nonappearances of
artists the situation was beyond control
