So today will be the last day the gov
ernor will be in his office here until
Monday.
But when Mr.. Hoey returns to his
desk here Monday, most observers be-
lieve he will have decided who he is
going to name on the liquor hoard
and probably who he will name as
chairman and members of the new
1l-man highway commission. So 1t
would not surprise observers here II
Governor Hoey should announce the
personnel of both the liquor control
commission and of the new highway
commission next week. The naming OF
the liquor board will undoubtedly be
made early next week, the governor
has already indicated, since he wants
it to be completed before the first
county liquor stores election is held
under the new law in Durham cOun-
ty April "a.
While Governor Hoey has until
May l to name the chairman and
members of the new State Highway
and Public Works Commission, the
opinion is growing in circles close to
the governor here that he has just
about made up his mind with regard

pressure to which he has been SUD-

pouring in upon him Ky the hundreds
not thousands, for the past two
Weeks and virtually all of his time
recently has been taken up in hearing
delegations, replying to letters and
kilograms urging different ones for
appointment to the liquor control
board or to the new highway com
iilsslon-chiefly the liter. So the be-
hef now is that the governor will
make up his mind very soon after his
return here next week

advocate that such Z cabinet position

and to formulate it. Once this'i done

In the not distant future I stress

Senator in Forum Address
Says Adequate Air Force
lnSureS Peace.

Concentration Of the Federal Gov
srnments authority over commercial
aviation In a single responsible bu-
reau or independent commission was
advocated by Senator McAdoo Of Cali
fornia, wartime Secretary OF the
Treasury, in an address last night.
He spoke on the National Radio
Forum, sponsored by The Star and
broadcast over the Nation wide net
work Of the National Broadcasting Co.
The Senator further declared there
should be "a standing committee OF
both Houses OF Congress charged with
the sole duty Of considering aviation
legislation"
Speaking on Future Air Conquests,"
Senator McAdoo first reviewed the
history and progress Of aviation, re-
cent conquests OF the airways of the
world by commercial aviators and the
aerial ornaments of the worlds major
nations.
While the United States is far in
advance of all the other great ma
lions in commercial aviation" he said,
ut is far behind them in war plane
development.
Il am firmly convinced that with
an adequate Navy and air force we
can keep the United States at peace
with the rest Of the world, and am
equally convinced that without 1t we
shall court unnecessary and grave
danger in the future"
Flight at Kitty Hawk.
The text Of his address follows:
Twenty-nine years ago the Wright
Brothers made themselves immortal
by their first air flight at Kitty Hawk,
N. G. American genius built the first
successful airplane, and from that be-
ginning has come the miraculous air
craft development of today.
The world was long time awaken
Ing to the tremendous significance Of
the Wright achievement Even this
country, which gave the heavier than
air craft its birth. did not grasp the
full meaning of the mighty achieve
ment OF the Wright Brothers until
May 2l, 1927. 10 years ago, when a
tall, slim youth thrilled the world by
dropping out OF the skies to an air
port in Paris after an amazing flight
from New York across the turbulent
Atlantic Ocean. The peewee plane
used for it is that in comparison with
the giant sky eagles Of today, was
commanded by young hero whose
iron nerve and dauntless heart carried
him alone in his frail craft across the
mighty Atlantic. The whole world
was delirious over this amazing con-
quest, and Charles A. Lindbergh, like
the Wright Brothers, made his name
Immortal.
Another young hero appeared a few
years later to carry into practical ex-
ecution the great achievements Of the
Wrghts and indbergh. He had the
vision to see that an indispensable
service to mankind could be rendered
II distant countries could be con-
nected by passenger airplanes flying
over the great seas which separated
them. Again American genius found
expression in the person Of Juan T.
Trippe, whose outstanding contribu-
tions to the development Of overseas
flying have carried the stars and
stripes across the Pacific Ocean, the
Caribbean Sea, the waters which lave
tho shores OF Central and South
