ans and Chief Ira Chapman of

who the night before had run
over Ira Albright, Rowan farmer:

killed ham near the Burgess fill
ing station at the Rowan County
fair grounds.
Mr.. Albright lived on the Ed

that he VS. walking home when
struck by the Hutchins car. The
accident occurred about $3.50 or 9
O'Clock Wednesday night.
Hutchins first denied knowing
anything about the hit and run
case, but later told the officers
that he wished to tell the truth
about it.
He said as he was passing an
other car he saw some one walk
ing along the highway weaving
in the road on the hard surface.
The officers believed however, that
the victim was off the hard sur
face.
After hitting Mr.. Albright,
Hutchins said he knew that he was
dead, that he hung on the radia-
tor and was thrown forward with
out uttering a sound.
1t is said that Hutchins has a
reputation for drinking and that
he said that he had just drunk
about half a pint Of wine.
He is reported as saying that
he was scared and didn't know
what to do after hitting Albright;
he abandoned his car ind went
home about 1890, but couldn't
sleep.
He now says he feels better
than at any TING since the acct
dent, because he knew that he
could not keep that within himself.

bright will be held today. !

PITTSBURGH. January (P.-
Discovery Of new principles of how
sound waves act, useful in ways rang

Air can be conditioned" for best

way to calculate the acoustic trans

die away in air, at any temperature

FOREIGN SERVICE
YL0SS CHECKED
New Basic Rates to Aid

BY the Associated Press.
Henceforth the 10000 employees Of
the United States Government sta
toned in foreign countries will receive
a more equitable repayment of losses
they suffer through exchange fluctua-
ton.
Army, Navy, foreign service and
other Government employees assigned
to duty in foreign countries-following
revaluation of the dollar-suffered
losses estimated at 40 per cent by ex-
change until President Roosevelt
issued an executive order providing
for repayment of part of their losses.
Under that system, basic exchange
rates for each country-computed
from a three-year average-were
specified and employees were re-
imbursed on that basis.
Studies and surveys carried on by
Wilbur j. Carr, Assistant Secretary of
State, established that the three-year
period used gave an inequitable re-
payment in many countries. In the
new regulations effective yesterday
the President has directed that new
basic exchange rates, based on a FIVE

year average, be used in computing
losses.
Computation of the basic rates on a
five-year average Is expected to benefit
employees in all foreign countries
except in Great Britain and China.
The new rate is slightly lower for
those countries and will result in q
smaller repayment Of exchange losses.
Offlcials here said, however, that en-
ployes assigned to those nations will
still receive what is considered an
equitable repayment.
Approximately one-haf the Gov
ernment employees involved are sta
toned in China or in Chinese waters,

as unsound the policy of restricting

made this unssund principle the base
upon which they erected their entire
