OFFICER GETS BLACK MART LOOT, CLAIM Columbia, Jan. 31.—South Caro lina must develop its transportation facilities “immediately and discard the idea of cheap labor if the state is to attract new industries, the South Carolina Ports authority was told tonight at the conclusion of a survey of state ports. Conclusions of the report made by Lockwood - Greene Engineers, Inc., after a lengthy survey were explained by Lawrence T. Beck of the firm, who said the survey show ed also that: After 25 years of municipal op eration, Charleston’s “docks are back in the dilapidated condition that existed when the city took them over; operation of a modern port is too big a proposition for the city ;and to compete for world trade will require a modernization program costing approximately $16,- 000,000." The report found that there was “opportunity for South Carolina to develop a great intermediate port at Charleston, to serve the terri tory between Norfolk, Va., and New Orleans and to attract commerce for the entire jitate.” “Uncertain world conditions pre vent an accurate prophesy of suc cess,” the report contended, but the state must risk a stake in or der to be prepared for whatever may arise. TRESSPASS NOTICE—AU hunting or otherwise trespassing on the lands of Mrs. Pat Mitchell or Mrs. Claude Summer is expressly for bidden and will be prosecute under the law. 31-St Paris, Jan. 29.—In a courtroom lit tered with loot from Army supply trains, two enlisted men testified to day that they paid an American offi cer sizeable sums of money received from the sale of stolen cigarettes on the black market. The defendant, Lt. John W. Springer—the first man of commis sioned rank to be tried in the black market cases against railway bat talion men—admitted in a signed statement receiving stolen goods, but not money, and neglecting his duty as an officer, but he added, “my superiors did nothing about it." An Army undercover agent, de scribing the atmosphere of corrup tion among railway battalion men at Versailles outside Paris, testified he overheard countless conversations about pilfering prospects, including one about the pilfering of blankets and alcohol from hospital trains. The defense attacked this testi mony as hearsay and the agent ad mitted he did not actually see much pilfering, though he said he saw considerable loot. The two enlisted men testifying against pringer — Private Edward C. Kelley and Sgt. Edward C. Pal- mero—who are awaiting trial, testi fied they gave him $400 and $500, respectively, from proceeds of black market sales of loot. Palmero said he occupied a room with Springer in the Versailles hotel and at Springer’s request took 60 cartoons of cigarettes to a cafe where a French civilian paid him $500. This money was turned over to Springer, he testified. Springer is charged with wrong fully receiving looted army supplies and money which he knew came from selling such loot, consipracy to defraud the United States and neg lect of duty as an officer. He was accused specifically of receiving 1,500 packs of looted cigarettes (valued at about $3,000 in the black market) and a list of miscellaneous supplies. The prosecutor contended Sprin ger must have known many trains were being pillaged and mentioned one train which was mobbed by a crowd of 200 people trying to grab something. He said the conductor had to keep them off with a car bine. Palmero identified miscellaneous loot strewn on the courtroom floor as Springer’s share of articles found ii; their hotel room by military po lice. State Medical Society Endorses Blue Cross — As part of its ■program of provid ing better medical care for the peo ple of this state and easing the fi nancial cost of such care, the South Carolina Medical Association, in co operation with the State Hospital Association and others likewise in terested, is sponsoring a plan for voluntary hospital insurance in South Carolina. (This is hospital in- > surance on a nbn-profit basis and 15,000,000 subscribers in the United Statesi now have the benefits of such insurance for an average cost of less than five cents per day. South Caro lina is one of the six remaining states in the Union whose laws do not permit its citizens to enjoy the benefits of this plan. There are now about 80 different organizations offering low-cost hos pital insurance ? under the “Blue Cross” plan. AU of these organi zations have to meet definite stand ards of community service, profes sional sponsorship and financial sol vency in order to be recognized by the American Hospital Association and to use the “Blue Cross” emblem. They are all “non-profit” and are governed by boards of directors con sisting of physicians, business men and hospital executives who serve without pay. Any profits are return ed to the subscribers in the form of increased benefits or lower rates. No money is paid directly to the sub scriber but he may obtain hospital services from any hospital contract ing with the “Blue Cross”. An ad ditional advantage to .being a sub scriber to this kind of insurance is that the “Blue Cross” is recognized by hospitals everywhere and, in case of sickness away from home in any state, the hospital benefits i may be obtained. These benefits consist of a bed in a ward or semi-private room, meals, gUiend nursing, anes thetics, special diets, dessinTs, lab oratory tests, the use of thd operat ing room or delivery room and some times X-Ray and other treatment. They do not include charges made by the patient’s physician. This movement in low cost hos pital insurance has increased from a membership of 600,000 seven years ago to over 15,000,000 members at the present time. Members include all types of industrial workers, white collar workers and farmers. It has povided them with a way to obtain hospitalization when needed and has helped to remove the fear of meet ing the financial cost of a short or prolonged illness. Its ^apid growth is proof that the “Blue Cross” plan of hospital insurance is providing for the needs of its subscribers. The South Carolina Medical Asso ciation is sponsoring this plan as part of its Ten Point Program for the betterment of medical! service and the health of the people of the state. The purpose of the program is to make available to all of the peo ple of. the State good medical and hospital care at prices they can af ford to pay. The laws of this state while permitting non-profit hospital insurance organizations, limit the area in which they may operate to not more than five adjoining coun ties and thereby preclude the “Blue Cross” plans. The association is ap pealing to the General Assembly again this session, as was done at the last session, for the enactment of a law permitting the operation of a “Blue Cross” plan. Only by chang ing the law can the people of the state have the benefits of voluntary low-cost hospital insurance with ade quate coverage. MRS. ROBERT BRUNER HOSTESS AT BRIDGE CLUB Mrs .Robert R.

Proposed Bill Would Prohibit Fairs In State COLUMBIA, Jan. 29.—Committee activities will take the legislative spotlight this week with preparation' of a record-breaking $23,000,000 gen eral appropriation bill by the ways and means Committee topping all othe activity. Chairman J. Morrison Tuten of the ways and means group said the committee expected to complete work on the measure this week and have it ready for presentation a week from tomorrow. He said the bill would total be tween $22,000,000 and $23,000,000 and incease over the budget com mission’s record recommenrations of $22,228,000. A University oi South Carolina request for $750,000 for more lands for expansion of its plant, and a state share of a proposed $3,000,000 expansion plan for the state medi cal college will be omitted, Tutefi said. Two of the three scheduled hear ings of bills of a controversial na ture will be held tomorrow as the legislation opens its fourth week.

The house judiciary committee will hold a public hearing tomorrow on a bill to outlaw state and county fairs for the duration of the war. ' Most controversial senate legis lation is off the upper chamber’s calendar and its committees, but the house, while leaving many meas ures in committee, has several state wide bills on its calendar. Tapping these is a bill to submit to a referendum a proposal to amend the state constitution by eliminating a prohibition on divorces. The bill, by Rep. John Long of Union, is near the head of the calendar and may get an airing in floor debate unless Long asks postponement. THEY LIVE HERE NOW Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

S. coffee supply, to day expressed belief that only an in crease in prevailing “scarce buying” could cause resumption of rationing. They made it clear that a close watch is being kept on the effect of widespread humors in the last few weeks that a renewal of ra tioning is imminent, While asserting these reports are unfounded, officials acknowledged that some “excess buying” has re sulted. But thus far, they added it has not been heavy enough to cause alarm. A total of 6,000,000 bags is now in storage in the United States, with an additional 3,500,000 either on the way or ready for shipment. The storage total compares with approximately 2,000,000 bags when rationing started in November, 1942, and about 4,800,000 bags when cof fee was taken off the list in July, 1943. BIG TAX REFUND RULING REVERSED Richmond, Va., Jan. 31—A United States tax court decision which de nied a tax refund of $435,340.73 to the Republic cotton mills, a South Carolina corporation, was reversed today by the Fourth United States Circuit Court of Appeals.

Appellate court has remanded the case, holding that the claim for re fund was denied by the court which pursued a method in reaching this decision which was “entirely with out justification.” LOOKING DOWN MEMORY LANE TWENTY YEARS AGO Mr. and Mrs. C.
