Mrs. Chapman was elected president and served for 23 years in that capacity. Prior to 1902 the organization had functioned under a central committee whidh al lowed for a limited representation at the State meetings, and which was not as far-reaching as the present organization has become.

Hopkins said that out of 800 per sons responding to a call through the district employment office, only three had accepted jobs. Several weeks ago the county agent had de termined through a survey that more than 300 workers would be needed in Richland county. State WPA Administrator Law rence M. Pinckney said he did not know how many WPA workers were involved in the refusal of farm work but that it was the policy of WPA to dismiss any of its workers who refused private employment at pre vailing wage;.. NAVY WANTS NEGROES The Navy announced April 7 that Negro volunteers would be accepted for enlistment for general service as reservists in the Navy, Marine corps and Coast guard, with recruiting soon to get under way. Eventually Secretary Knox added at his press conference, small warships such as destroyers or patrol craft may be manned with Negro crews command ed by white petty officers and com missioned officers. As Negroes gain experience and qualify for higher ratings they will be made petty of ficers themselves, Knox said, but for the present there is no plan to com mission Negro officers.

Friend of Nazis Now Building Ships At Charleston Yard (From the Philadelphia Record of March 5, 1942) Capt. Torkild Rieber, former con fidante of Herman Goering and Nazi Admiral Erich Raeder, has a new job—supervising more than $10,000,- 000 in shipbuilding for the United States Navy. Rieber resigned his $100,000-a-year post as chairman of the board of Texas Ail Co. in August, 1940, after an expose of his connections with Dr. Gerhard Westrick, Hitler’s personal envoy, in New York. Heads Charleston Firm Yesterday he turned up as chair man of the board of the Charleston (S. C- Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., and old firm which reorganized 10 months ago in time to snap up Navy contracts. Work of the Charleston firm is closely linked with that of the Char leston Navy Yard, a center of des troyer construction and the biggest repair base near the Caribbean area. The firm is said to own the only pri vate floating drydock for steamships between Norfolk, Va., and Key West. How Rieber came to head the firm could not be learned yesterday, but officers of the Charleston Navy Yard said his connection with it was “generally known” there. Referred to Washington Asked for further information, an officer in the supervisor of shipbuld- ing’s office at the navy yard replied: “Don’t you think you’d beitter take it up with the Bureau of Ships at Washington? They are familiar with the matter.” Rear Admiral B. H. Bruce, of the Bbreau of Ships, then was asked by a Record reporter whether the Navy considered Rieber acceptable in his present position in view of his past contacts. iMay Be Investigating “I don’t know whether he is or not, they may be investigating him for all I know,” Admiral Bruce re plied. “They probably are, for that matter, but that would not come un der my office. ” Admiral Brace - rv’errad the in quiry to Capt. Norbome L. Raw lings, of the Bureau of Ships. Cap tain Rawlings said: “Captain Rieber does hold an exe cutive position with the Charleston Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. If there is any investigation I have no knowledge of it nor of anything necessitating an investigation.’’ Rieber, 59-year-old native of Nor way, is understood to have become head of the Charleston firm through his knowledge of maritime matters. He went to sea at 14, became a tanker skipper at 21, and worked up through the shipping department to head Texas Oil. He was naturalized in 1905. Director of Oil Firm As head of the Charleston firm, he divides his time between its offi ces and yard and the New York office of Seaboard Oil Co. and Barber As phalt Co. He is said to be a direc tor of both firms. Louis Green, vice president and general manager of the Charleston firm, declined to discuss Rieber’s ac tivities beyond saying-, “He has giv en himself freely to his work and my opinion of ham is very high.” Rieber’s Nazi contacts first came into prominence early in 1940. He returned from a 2-hour talk with Goering in Germany and sought a conference with President Roosevelt. Topic of the 30-minute session with F. D. R. never was revealed, but Rie ber was rumored to have borne a peace proposal from Goering. Defended Hitler Agent Later that year, When the New York Herald Tribune exposed his contacts with Westrick, Rieber de fended Hitler’s commercial envoy as “a very decent fellow’.” It was then Rieber declared that while “I don’t like the idea of dicta torships, my company is in the oil business, not in diplomacy or polities and stands ready to do business with anybody.” Bought Westrick’s Car Questioned about Westrick’s pur chase of an expensive car with funds fro mihiis company, Rieber replied: “I help everybody who comes from Eu rope and has business relations with us. It’s good business.” The directors of Texas Oil Co., ac cepted bis resignation after a 7-hour session behind closed doors. “Under existing circumstances it seemed advisable,” the board’s state ment said. That was in 1940. MINIMUM PAY IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY IS 40 CENTS HOUR New York, April 6. — A minimum wage of 40 cents an hour was set to day for the textile industry, bring ing direct wage increases to 150,000 workers, the wage and hour division, U. S. department of labor, announc ed. The industry, as defined in the order, includes all textiles except knitted and woolen goods. Total em ployment in the industry is approxi mately 750,000, but all except 150,- 000 now earn 40 cents or more an hour. Local Girl Is First In Shooting Contest Special to The Sun. Washington, D. C., April 2.—Miss Becky Stewart, of Newberry, has fif ed her way into national target shooting prominence by winning the second highest junior award of the National Rifle Association, it ifcas disclosed by the N. R. A. Junior Di vision here today. She is one of the first junior contestants in the Asso ciation’s shooting qualification series to gain this distinction so far this year. Young Becky was required to fire 50 shots in the most difficult of all shooting positions—standing—at a bullseye actually smaller than the .22 caliber cartridges She was firing. The distance was 50 feet and the youthful sharpshooter had to average 80 per cent accuracy over thb course. Beck’s new award is second in im portance only to the Distinguished Rifleman Gold Bar, for whidh she is now eligible to compete, and is pre ceded by 13 progressively harder tests which the Newberry girl was required to pass. The firing was done in a recent series of qualification shooting which annually draws thousands of juniors into rifle com petition. Last year the Junior Divis ion awarded some 90,000 medals in all the fifteen classifications, the great majority, of course, being tak en by shooters in classifications low er than Expert. Becky is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Stewart of 823 Glenn street, Newherry. FUEL OIL QUOTA MAY BE REDUCED FOURTH AT ONCE Washington, April 6.—An imme diate 25 per cent curtailment in nor mal deliveries of fuel oil used for space or central heating and hot wat er supplies on the Atlantic seaboard and in Oregon and Washington was recommended today by Harold L. Ickes, petroleum coordinator. Aides of the coordinator said the recommendation was tantamount to an order. They explained that it was made at the behest of the petroleum industry’s marketing committee for District 1 which embraces 17 East Coast states and, the District of Co lumbia. Issued as a recommendation to all suppliers in the area, the limitation authorization does not apply to hos pitals or private homes where illness or other emergencies require a greats er use of fuel oil. The minimum quantity of fuel oil required for operation other than space or central heating and hot waiter supply will be supplied to pre ferential users. These include the army, navy, plants working on de fense orders, public transportation facilities, communication services and plants for the processing and storage of food products.

C., April 7—Members of the carded yam group heard Hr. Claudius T. Murchison of New York president of the Cotton-Textile Insti tute, predict at a special meeting here today that a “drastic convers ion program” for the textile industry would be issued within two weeks by the war production board. He expressed confidence, However, that this conversion would net result in rationing of textiles although prob ably bringing about severe restric tion of supplies to non-essenUal uses. The WPB, Dr. Murchison said has not yet decided whether this program will be mandatory. The spinners were told emphatic ally that the industry now must de vote itself to the war effort. “If adequate supplies of fabrics are to be obtained” said Dr. Murchi son, a former director of 'the U. S. bureau ,of foreign and domestic com merce, “many more looms must be brought into this production. That means that the mills which have been producing other things have got to be converted. “This will be expensive, will re quire much adjustment of machinery the retaining of employees and the sacrifice of the usual trade outlets.” The speaker bluntly warned the spinners that “I am getting worried over the cotton supply” and said con sumption this year likely would total 11,500,000 bales. We will come to August 1st with a ten million bale carryover, of which four million bales will be extremely low grade,” he declared. “Of good cotton there will be only a normal carryover and the burdensome sur plus we had several years ago will have completely disappeared. "Also, I am worried over this years’ crop. There will be a short age of fertilizer, insecticides and farm labor. The crop possibly will be actually under domestic consump tion. ' “In 1943 we will be facing a very real Shortage of cotton.” Dr. Murchison expressed the be lief that the prospective conversion program would not affect employ- mena in the mills but would affect individual consumers. “As looms are converted to fabrics necessary for the armed forces,” he commented, “smaller supplies will f>e available fbr civilians.” FIELDS B.
