- GRA SK nNNA%FznY

Raleigh, Aug. 5.-The 1887 General
Assembly will be asked to set up a
four-year medical school in North
Carolina and the foundation work for
an intensive campaign to bring about
the establishment of such a medical
school as a unit of the University of
North Carolina either in Chapel Hill
or Raleigh, is now under way. There
is also talk that an effort may be
made to consolidate the Wake Forest
medical department with this school
and to make the new school, it it is
set up, consolidation of the two
year medical courses now offered both
at Chapel Hill and Wake Forest. Not
that either school wants this, for both
are expected to oppose any consolida-
ton unless it becomes apparent that
they must either consolidate or be
abolished But the belief in medical
circles over the State is that unless
the University of North Carolina or
Wake Forest establish as a four-year
medical school that will meet with the
approval of the education committee
that both will have to close up their
present tWO-yedf courses
Two Big Factors.
While it is agreed that there is a
real need for another four year med
ical school in North Carolina in ad-
dition to the one at Duke University,
the two biggest factors in the move
ment to secure another standard
school are regarded as being:
1. The fact that unless a four year
medical school is set up, either as a
part of the University of North Car
DINA or of Wake Forest College, that
the two year pre-med departments in
both institutions will have to be
abolished.
2. The whole-hearted dislike which
both the University of North Caro-
lima and Wake Forest medical de-
partments have for Duke University
also the dislike which most of the
doctors in the State, especially those
who did part of their medical work
at Chapel Hill or Wake Forest, have
for the Duke University medical
school and hospital.
There is virtually no disagreement
among the physicians of the State
with regard to the need for another
four year school. They also agree that
if Wake Forest and Carolina should
be forced to abolish their two-year
pre-medical courses, a great many
young men in the State who want to
study medicine and become doctors
will be unable to, because they will
not be able to stand the expense Of
taking their entire medical course at
Duke or outside the State. 1t is con-
coded that at present young man

Washington, Aug. 5.-How to deal

Raleigh, Aug 5-The very definite
increase in convictions for drunken
driving, as shown in the number OF
drivers licenses being revoked, does
not mean that there is any great in
crease in the number of drinking
drivers, but may be due just as much
to better enforcement of the law by
the police generally and by the high
way patrol, both Ronald Hocutt, as
sistant director of the highway safety
division, and Captain Charles D.
Farmer, of the highway patrol, said
today. Both agreed, however, that

the ease with which it is possible to
buy whisky in dry as we'll as in

Raleigh, Aug. 5.-The demand for
driving licenses continues undated
with the result that 7O9,4O0 licenses
had been issued through July 81, Of

Director Arthur F'ulk, of the highway

7O9, 400 licenses issued since last sum-

each person who received one of these
paid 81 for his or her license. Of the
1906 issued in July 1882 were paid
licenses, the others being duplicates.
A total of SAT drivers license were
revoked by the division during July,
most of them because the holders had
been convicted of drunken driving or
of equally serious offenses for which
licenses are automatically revokable.
This brings the total number of driv-

the field they were installing

It seems silly for the nations Of
Europe to go on pretending that
they are not intervening in this
war. Every day you can see new
French machines coming over
from Madrid, Of a type the reds
did not have in the first weeks of
the war, while the sight Of German
and Italian machines on this side
has long since ceased to attract at
tention.
Take Off For Lisbon
We took off into a strong north
wind that promised to blow us
down to Lisbon in fast time. For
10 minutes we climbed, spiraling
up to 5000 feet. out Of ordinary
rifle fire. Then we level out for
Lisbon.
Below us the fields were dotted
every three or four miles with
groups of peasants threShing and
winnowing their grain. They do
it exactly as they did 1000 years
ago. They lay the shocks of wheat
on the ground and drive horses or
mules around and over them until
the grains of wheat are looSened
and the straw ground to chaff.
Then they toss the mixture in the
air and let the wind blow the chaff
away while the wheat remains.
Thousands Of Political Prisoners
The piles Of pale yellow chaff
and the mounds Of golden red
wheat and the black oxen and
the harsh yellow ground looked
peacefully beautiful. Then we
passed over a huge complex Of
buildings covering more than a
city block. High walls surrounded
the buildings, with turretS at the
corners. Flying directly over
head we could see two large
courtyards filled with a throng Of
several thousand persons. It was
Jail, one of many. In the
Burgos jail there are said to be
2,7o0 civilian political prisoners.
There must be a minimum Of
10 times that number in the
territory controlled by the whites
and probably a considerably
large number in that controlled
by the reds, although it is the
firm conviction on this side that
the reds are holding very few
prisoners but shooting them off
hand.

High Insurance Heads

A mysterious conference Of the

United States, scheduled for TO-
morrow at the White House, may
become the basis Of a challenge
by President Roosevelt to Col.
Frank Knox, Republican vice preSi'
Dental nominee, to prove Colonel
Knox's statement that insurance
companies are unsafe under the
Roosevelt administration.
The white House today abso-

that one has been called. How
ever, it has leaked out that the
President is presumed to have
suggested the conference before
Colonel Knox aroused the Demo
cratic officials with his charge
that Roosevelt policies have en-
dangered the credit structure Of
large insurance companies.
Colonel Knox, although he has
been the object Of the attack of
several high Democrats, has the
support Of the Republican Ma.

LISBON U.N.S0.-They shoot
down airplanes every day in this
Spanish civil war, but flying Is
safer than travelling by automo
bile. BY now they have crashed
about fifty airplanes, but there
are certainly no fewer than five
hundred passenger cars and trucks
careened on the roadSideS Of Spain,
with from one to one hundred
and fifty bullet holes in each.
Sometimes you see q car with
one bullet hole through the wind
shield smack over the drivers
seat. That's all it took. On the
other hand saw one car still in
use with 103 machine gun bullets
through its back and nobody hurt.
The red machine.gunnerS were ~
ing in the road and their bullets
caught the car on an upward
slant so that they practically cut
the roof off but missed the occu-
pants.
Scores Get Away
This happens oftener than you
would think. and there are scores
Of cars that got away, still run
ming strong and the owners are
proud Of the scars. But mostly
they don't get away. This hap
pens because there is no real front
In this war. Only at places like
the crests Of the mountains at the
Col de Leon on the Guantanamo
or the Somosierra are there fixed
positions.
Elsewhere the front is all mixed
up with columns Of whites pene-
trating far into red territory
while just a few hundred yards
from the white column the land Is
no mans. After the white col
unnn passes, little bands Of reds
creeps down near the road and
especially at dusk take pot shots
at passing cars. Then, too, all
day long on all the main roads
leading to the front, Madrid'S air
planes patrol up and down look
ing for q chance to bomb or
machinegun troop transports or
passenger cars carrying officers.
So when we took off from the
BurgoS airdrome to fly to Seville
by way Of Lisbon I felt actually
safer than had we gone by road.
ANY airplane flying over Spain
today is liable to be shot at by
both sides because both reds and
whites are using every variety OF
commercial plane and there has
not been time to paint them with
the all red insignia Of Madrid or
the orange and gold Of the ma
tionaliStS, or their newly adopted
black cross on white back
ground.
Looked Too Innocent
Our little plane, though, was a
tiny De Haviland Leopard Moth
and it looked too innocent for
anybody to shoot at. But it only
cruises at 10 miles per hour and
has a top speed of barely 1877 so
it would not stand much chance
II one Of Madrid's new pursuit
planes wanted to chase us.
The boys at the BurgoS air
drome told us to fly clear of Val
ladolid, the new military head
quarters of the white army in the
north, and Of Salamanca because
both these places had new bat
terieS of anti-aircraft guns and
were anxious to try them out. On
