Even as the threat of greater destruction was being broadcast, the European terrorists pressed their campaign of scorched earth and murder. They killed four per sons Thursday, wounded nine others and set 21 fires in public and private buildings that might be of use to Moslems after a European exodus. The secret army said it was ordering the European settlers to quit Algeria because the Moslems had refused to give guarantees to the European minority beyond those provided in the March 18 agreement at Evian between the Nationalists and the French American Britisher's NEW YORK (AP) An American says "gasoline" and a Briton says "petrol," but Dr. Philip B.

Sir David warned Wednesday that the English language It In danger of splitting into dialects mutually unintelligible in England, the United States, Canada and Australia. He likened the prospect to Latin's demise You don't have to tell a Yankee what a British "gin and tonic" is any more than you have to define a "hot dog" for a cockney youngster, Gove asserted. The list of mutually understood terms is long: elevator-lift, bar-pub, baby buggy-pram, mall-post and trolley-tram, for a few. The Briton knows that the American "bloody" Is just that and the American knows that the British "bloody" Is so grossly vulgar that this paragraph won't be printed in pitals, most Moslem patients were evacuated to makeshift clinics.

The hospital said the surgical pavilions and laboratory have been rendered useless. 'A group from the Moslem Na tional Liberation Front, the FLN, inspected the sprawling, hospital late Thursday and announced the Moslems planned to take it over. That made it a prime target for the secret army in its plan to destroy everything that might be useful to the Mos lems' after independence. A clandestine radio transmitter announced Thursday night that the secret army's high command had decided to accelerate its scorched earth campaign because it had failed to obtain more concessions for the European settlers from Algeria's future Moslem rulers. The broadcast ordered all Euro peans to leave Algeria.

But an earlier secret army broadcast from Oran, the territory's second city in western Algeria, said European residents of western Al geria would regroup in major cities in that area for a last-ditch defense against Algerian independence. Along with its desperation tight to leave an independent Algeria a waste land, the secret army mounted a new offensive against the French government and Pres ident Charles da Gaulle. The government announced the smashing of a new secret army plot to kill De Gaulle the third in nine months, widespread arrests of secret army agents in France were reported. Former French Premier Georges Bidault, in an interview with a Brussels newspaper, indicated the secret army still was fighting to take over France. Gen.

He seemed completely relaxed and unworried as he mingled with crowds gathered in each village along his route. He smiled broadly and moved through the crowds in the village streets, shaking outstretched hands.

Heavy security forces were everywhere. Gendarmes could even be seen in the fields and woods along which the presidential motorcade sped. The Interior Ministry said Thursday night that six persons-four men and two women had been arrested as part of a Secret Army Organization commando nit ordered to kill De Gaulle before the July 1 independence referendum in Algeria. It was the third such plot in die past nine months. Some police officials said the plotters thought of using a booby-trapped dog or perhaps several "jjswfitch would be guided by special whistles pitched too high for the human ear.

Another plan under consideration, according to the police, was to mine a railroad underpass through which the presidential party was scheduled to pass. Some Paris papers treated the report of the plot with skepticism or reserve. Arnold Palmer Makes Charge OAKMONT, Pa.

Myers president of Burlington Industries, predicted here today that future growth of the textile industry will accelerate.

Speaking to the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, Myers gave three reasons for the prediction. He listed these as a 52 per cent increase in the 15 to 29 age group Greenwood Area 2 Years In Court The Question Technical Training Program Is Favored into Italian, French and Spanish. As an example, Sir David used this sentence: "I was mad about my flat." To a New Yorker, he continued, that would mean, "I was hopping with rage that I had a punctured tire," but to a Londoner, "I simply adored my apartment." Gove contended that air travel, Intermarriage, exchange of radio and television programs and the printed word have brought American English and English English closer together than ever before. which is the biggest user of textiles, fair price and real values, and more modern and efficient operations in the industry. Myers said economic progress shown in the last 10 years will show an even greater Increase in the next 10 years.

"The textile Industry remains North Carolina's No. 1 economic job need survey, confirms the need for a Technical fcducauon Center to serve the proposed area and recommends that an application be made to the State Com mittee for Technical Education." The report also points out that the proposed area is extremely larae and commuting distances are great, but adds, "With the proper support of people and industry, this difficulty can be overcome." To meet the needs shown by the survey, the report says a building' of 45,000 square feet would be "advisable." It would contain 10 classrooms, shops, of fice, librarv. multi-purpose and storage rooms. A need for trained workers in the following fields is shown by the survev: Auto mechanics, air conditioning and sheet metal, in dustrial electricity, radio ano iv repair, sewing machine repair, machinists and maintenance me chanics. Also, chemical and industrial technicians, drafting and design, electrical or electronic technl cians.

in summary, the reDort says: "The highly technical nature of the new industries which have heen introduced recently in this area, as well as the markedly higher level of skill requirements as a result of the progressive automation of the textile industry, is resulting in a steadily increas ing demand tor technicians, in thm npvt five vears. employers in tend to increase their hiring by at least SO per cent of chemical technicians, cost technicians, production planners and quality control technicians, while present (See TECHNICAL, Page 8) asset There are more than 000 employes over 40 per cent of the state's manufacturing em ployment in 1,000 textile plants. The annual textile payroll is $740 million, about five times the pay rolls of furniture or tobacco man ufacturing, our second and third largest industries," he said. Myers said, "The inequities of the problem of imports from low wage countries have been generally recognized by the present administration. Actions, to date and promised, under the President's program for textiles should enable our industry to compete mart fair ly with foreign products at home and, abroad.

The Geneva Textile Agreement should maintain cotton textile imports for the next five years at about the tame level as existed last year. "Similar programs for woolen- worsted and man-made fiber fab rics are under consideration in Washington. We believe these new factors of reasonable import control will provide the Industry with greater stability of operation, will permit better planning of produc tion and marketing, and will elim inate much of the previous uncer tainty and doubt. We are proud of the keen competition in textiles and of our ability to win any race with foreign producers, provided we are permitted to do so on fair terms, he said. Myers praised the leadership in the state but said "the demands are now so great, in every area of activity, that the ranks of leadership need strengthening." ALERT IN BERLIN BERLIN (AP) Most of the 5,000 U.S.

troops in West Berlin turned out at 3:30 a.m. today for a surprise test alert, Walkout Threat Deplored WASHINGTON (AP) Flight engineers debated today whether to bow to President Kennedy's appeal to cancel a strike threat against three major airlines and submit their jet crew job claims to arbitration. The answer from the Flight En gineers International Association may come this morning. Mean time, it was uncertain whether there would be a walkout against the three major carriers Pan American, Eastern and Trans World airlines. Kennedy sharply criticized the engineers at his news conference Thursday after government-sponsored peace talks that had been going periodically for nearly two years ended in a complete dead lock and a walkout appeared im minent The President taid a strike against the three carriers would seriously damage the nations economy and welfare.

He urged the union to reconsider his pro posal for arbitration by a three- man board. At Kansas City, Chairman H. S. Dietrich of the union's TWA branch said there probably would be no strike on that airline at least before early Saturday morning. Union headquarters had no comment on Dietrich's state ment but said Ron Brown, the union's International president, might have a statement in the morning.

Kennedy hinted that if his appeal for a peaceful settlement went unheeded, and a strike was called anyway, the government might move in to seek an early end or Die walkout. He put off a question for the time being on whether he might seek emergency legislation from Congress to seize and operate struck lines. A walkout would idle nearly 000 domestic and 20,000 overseas passengers daily. Kennedy, in a manner somewhat reminiscent of the way he attacked a steel industry price increase two months ago, flatly accused the engineers union of fall ing to cooperate with long and patient settlement efforts by Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Gold berg and his aides.

He noted that there had been practically no questions, from the standpoint of wisdom and neces sity, of recommendations that let crews be reduced from four to three. The President said steps had been taken to assurt job priority rights for engineers on the three- man crews and a continuing status for their union. In addition, he taid, the airlines had agreed to give the engineers flight training. More than anything else, however. Kennedy was stung by the union rejection of hit personal proposal mat the engineers sub-' mtt their full dispute to arbitration, or decision by third parties.

The carriers had accepted this settlement method and Kennedy asked the union to reconsider.

Kennedy ordered the Justice Department today to seek a court order stopping the strike of ma chinists and other employes against Republic Aviation, the only source of supply of F105 jet fighters. Kennedy said the strike of 9,000 workers "will imperil the national safety" if permitted to continue.

Some American military authorities are dubious that the pro-Communist Pathet Lao and tha pro-Western royal Laotian forces can be integrated without considerable difficulty.

Scott of Sylvanla says the dog's name it Dale and belongs to him. But George McDonald of Savannah says the dog's name is Queen and belongs to him.

Scott claims he raised Dale from a pup and that McDonald stole her. McDonald says he raised Queen from thetime she was six months old and ffriend gave her to him. McDonald was charged with theft of a dog and he, Scott and Queen (or Dale) went into Screven County Superior Court. For the duration of the litigation, the dog has been boarded with Dr. W.

state staff of the Committee for Technical Educa tion, after careful analysis of the Boy Killed In Berlin EscapoTry BERLIN (AP)-A 12-year-old boy trying te escape from East Germany was shot dead by Red border guards, West Berlin police reported today. The shooting occurred last Sun day, during the Whitsun holiday, when two groups of East Germans managed to tunnel their way to freedom. Because the shooting took place on the East side of the Communist wall, West Berlin police did not get details immediately. His death brought the known number of deaths aolng the wall to 36. Another 14-year-old East Ger man boy waa shot last month by East Germans as he swam a ca nal to the West.

He escaped with seven bullet wounds. He still is in a West Berlin hospital. Apparently incensed by the number of successful escapes, the Communist regime is strengthening the barricades around West Berlin.

Ml Moping House To Unlock By MARGARET WATSON Many questions were asked, but only one specific objection, was made at last night's public hearing on proposed zoning regulations for the Greenwood Metropolitan District. The objection was to the ban on outdoor theaters within the dis- trict and was presented by W. D. McGowan, attorney for Marion theater owner.

Planning Board Chairman Phil Floyd said the question would be reconsidered when the board meets again soon. He also said all points brought out by questions or comments at the hearing will be studied. The proposed resolutions can be changed before the board adopts- them, and provision is made for later amendments if such become advisable, Floyd said. While the District Planning Board has jurisdiction over the entire Metropolitan District outside1 the Greenwood city limits, the proposed zoning regulations would apply now only to the Industrial Strip and to a section on both sides of highway 254 which was zoned a residential area on petition of property owners. Within the Industrial Strip, three existing or planned residential areas are set up, and the remainder is zoned for industrial use which can also contain commercial, residential' and farming uses.
