The defense secretary said he and Gen Omar Bradley, chairman of joint chiefs of staff came to the Orient "to secure the facts upon our policy toward Japan should be based if we are most effectively to protect the security of the United States." The two have obtained those facts, he continued, but "until the facts we have determined have been evaluated by the secretaries of the armed forces and by the joint chiefs of staff and our conclusions have been reported to the commander-in-chief, no statement will be issued by the department of defense."

Delay Granted In Arrest Trial Hearing on a charge of false arrest against Police Chief John Montgomery, slated for trial today in circuit court before Judge Hugh Taylor, was continued until the next term of court on an amended plea. The trial had been scheduled to be held without a jury, but in his new plea, the chief had requested trial by jury. Worth Moore, a attorney for Stephen Gould, who brought the suit, requested additional time to prepare his case as the request for a jury was granted. The suit was filed late in February by Gould, an office machine maintenance man, who asks $1,000 damages for "humiliation and embarrassment" by his summons to court the same month. Gould said in his suit he was arrested for a misdemeanor which did not occur in the chief's presence and was accused without warrant.

The matter came up Feb 22 after Gould's auto and one driven by Margaret Jernagen had been involved in a minor wreck, the police department said. Chief Montgomery said adn Mrs Jernagen came to the police station and said an agreement had not been reached the accident, damages of which he estimated at $2.50 to Gould's car. The chief said he advised them to come to the station prior to police court Friday and discuss the matter with the municipal judge who might offer advice The chief denied that either person was under arrest at any time and he said since there was no case there was no action. The suit named Montgomery as an individual and not as police chief. Churches of Christ, Scientist "CHRISTIAN SCIENCE" is the of the Lesson -Sermon which will be read in Churches of Christ, Scientis, throughout the world on Sunday, June 25.

The Golden Text is "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation" (Isa. Among the citations which comprise the -Sermon is the following fom the Bible: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (II Tim 3:16, 17; II Tim. Te Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "In followng these leadings of scientific revelation, the Bible was my only textbook.

iptures were illumined; reason and revelation were reconciled, and afterwards the truth of Christian Science was demonstrated" State Patrolmen England May Have A-Power To Guard Plant Plant, Ships MORRISTOWN, Tenn, (AP) Tennessee highway patrolmen can guard the bloody strike scene at the American Enka Corporation rayon plant near here without calling for National Guard aid, the state safety commissioner decided today. Commissioner Sam Neal said today he decided against asking Gov Gordon Browning to send national guardsmen here. Neal's decision, awaited since an outbreak of gunfire wounded four men yesterday, came after hours of investigation which carried far into the night. Neal said he will keep "enough" state highway patrolmen here to prevent recurrence of violence. Gov Browning has indicated he will follow Neal's recommendation in the Enke strife.

He and Adj Gen Sam Wallace came here yesterday with 75 highway patrolmen to restore order, Browning, returning last night from Washington, said he would await before word deciding from Neal whether and Wallace men are needed. Squads of state policemen closed in on the Morristown plant after the shootings, making wholesale arrests. When a few of the workers tried to skirt the end of a picket line yesterday morning, there was burst of gunfire. Victor McDaniel fell with two bullets in his head; three in his body. His condition is critical William McGinnis and James McCamey were hit.

They are in serious condition. All three were workers attempting to enter the plant. David Proffitt, who identified himself as a striker, said he was shot when he passed a group of workers seven miles away from the plant. He was treated for an arm wound. Four of five railroads singled out for a strike of AFL switchmen Sunday have announced they will not attempt to operate.

Government (Continued from Page 1) Tuten, DeLand, speaker pro-tem. Don Cox, Miami, was elected chief justice of the state supreme court. The other justices elected are Charles Blackburn, Tampa; Bob Willis, Miami; Dave Wheeler, Orlando: Comer Coppie, Miami, and Bill Ratcliff, and Don Strickland, both of Jacksonville. With their election of state officers out of the way today the boys held their final legislative session of the week in the house chamber. Numerous bills were introduced and their passage urged by their sponsors.

The Boys State adopted a resolution unanimously endorsing the efforts of Gov Fuller Warren and other state officials to bring more trade and industry to Florida. They commended the governor for his efforts to "sell Florida" at a banquet of New business men Thursday night in New York in which the governor was principal speaker. The resolution emphasized that many young men and women of Florida after finishing college go to other states to seek careers and that additional business and industry in the state would offer more opportunity for young people in their native Florida. During the reception each of the 305 boys havin attended the seventh annual Boys State this year will be given a certificate of merit for his interest and efforts in good American citizenship. Boys State will disband and the boys will return to their respective homes after breakfast and final inspection Saturday morning, Mark Wheeler, St Petersburg, director, said.

POINTERS for car buyers HOW TO BUY ON TIME PAYMENTS Don't be misled by "Easy" payments. There really are no "Easy" payments. So-called "Easy" payments are always expensivethe "easier" the payments, the more expensive. Pay all you can down, and as much per month as you can comfortably afford. That is the cheapest and safest way to buy on "time payments." Take the time to check up on all the costs and services proposed to you before you buy.

Leon high. The major project will be the addition of six rooms to the new 10-room Bond subdivision school which was completed last year at a cost of $109,000. Godby said the school board has authorized the project and money to finance it will come from the capital outlay fund which is one that sets aside money for permanent plant construction.

Bond had 675 pupils last term which means there is inadequate space in the 30 class rooms for them, even after the school utilizes the old Bond school. He said bids will be sought as soon as all technical details have been worked out. With good luck, the bids could be opened Aug 1 and if a contract is awarded, the project could be completed by next Jan 1, which means occupancy could be accomplished by the middle of the 1950- 51 term. Godby says that he thinks the six-room addition will alleviate the overcrowded condition at Bond and maybe allow the school to accommodate colored children from East Tallahassee also. The board has five additional acres of land cleared, making the current total school yard 10 acres in size.

The major project for the summer in the white schools is the gym addition. It will accommodate facilities for showers and toilet facilities. Bids for that project will be opened on July 6. Other projects for the summer include: White Schools Ft Braden school's classrooms will be painted and possibly the outside of the building during the summer clean up, and touch up campaign. Tile is being repaired in the halls of Sealey Memorial school.

Painting also will be carried, on. Class rooms will be at Caroline Brevard in addition to other routine summer work. Colored School Repairs A deep well is being drilled at Station One school. It will provide water for the school plus the first modern sanitary facilities including lavatories and toilets. Toilets are being installed at Concord school and extensive painting will be done at Lincoln high for the colored.

The latter is located in Tallahassee. Godby emphasized that in addition to the listed projects or the proposed ones, the usual routine clean-up and touch up summer campaign is also underway or will start soon. 200 to Arrive (Continued From Page 1) FSU Public Administration department, will serve as educational director and Dr Broward Culpepper, dean of student welfare has cooperated with the auxiliary in planning the week's activities.

HARWELL, Eng, -Sir John Cockroft, director of the giant New Harwell atom research laboratory, says Britain may have a practical atomic power plant in "four or five years." Cockroft revealed yesterday that researchers at Harwell, with this goal in view, are trying to figure out new ways to produce plutonium- atom bomb ingredient- faster and more efficiently. He said his scientists already have worked new way of getting uranium of uranium ore outt more economically. The vast Harwell laboratory was thrown open to the press for the first time yesterday. Top atom scientists showed American and European newsmen- -no Russians or east Europeans were invited their 110-inch underground cyclotron, their househigh atomic pile and many of their formerly, secret or figures processes.

were dis- Few closed, however. Board Approves (Continued From Page One) of the county policy in building subdivision roads saying, "If you change the policy on roads why don't you change the policy on houses and build them at cost too?" He added, "It's not your obligation to go out and build roads simply for other people to make money." Rich closed with, "If you change this policy let's don't talk about socialism." Deeb charged in his letter that the policy of the county previously had been to construct subdivision roads on one occasion and to deny such requests on another. Commission Chairman Philips said the county would get way behind on its routine county work if it did attempt to build subdivision roads. Rich said he could build the roads cheaper than the county did and it had the advantage of using convict labor. He said no government subdivision can compete with private enterprise because of the "political element involved." The commissioners agreed to hire someone capable of inspecting the roads as they are being built in the future.

The inspector will work under Pedrick, county road supermtendent. In other action, the commission again received a delegation protesting the condition of the old WTAL road to Lake Bradford. Harold Trimble, FSU professor, speaking for the group said the road was virtually impassable at times. The board told Trimble they would inspect the road today and see that it was put in "all weather passable condition." said there was no chance of the road being paved in next three years. He said the board had previously inspected the road and it "looked good." The delegation members said it was so muddy right after a rain that it was impossible to travel.

It was pointed out that recently a doctor refused to make a call out there saying the people would have to bring the patient to town. The board approved a resolution to close a road leading into Lake Jackson subject to a hearing on the matter to be held at its next meeting, July 7. The state armory board was given a 15-year lease on the county armory and the board commended George Russ and all the officers and men for the splendid work in keeping the National Guard unit here in such excellent and efficient shape. Gilbert Porter requested a drive be cut into the Greenwood cemetery on the Bainbridge road. He said the cemetery was now crowded for space.

The board agreed to Inspect the land sometime today. Permission was granted to the Girls State group to tour the courthouse next Friday at 3 m. Philips or his representative was authorized to make a short talk to the girls. Commissioner Hunter Bannerman was given permission to attend a meeting of the board of directors of the state association in Jacksonville tomorrow morning. EARTH'S DISTORTION LOS ANGELES.
