The monitors, employing their 15-inch

more damage titan the planes flying

ardment did not actually prevent the
Germans using the port, it blew up
two submarine sheds, damaged the

sons were killed, 100 wounded.
Italians opened ia major offensive

scheme of a united Franco-British-

attack against the hills north and
east of Gorilla, which offered best
possibilities of a break through into
Austria. They met with success at
the start, but had to break off due to
shortage of ammunitions just at a
moment when important results seem

DIVERSION OF PARKWAY
WOULD BE EASY MATTER

Raleigh, May 14.-(AP)-It would
be very easy to divert the Blue Ridge
Parkway from North Carolina into
Tennessee north and west of Ashe-
vile, and thus make the main en-
trance to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park on the Tennessee side
of the park-what Tennessee has been
wanting from the start, according to
engineers in the State Highway ana
Public Works Commission who have
been in close touch with the parkway
and the contest over it since the park
way was first started. Reports from
Washington that the Tennessee con-
gressmen are renewing their fight to
get part of the highway diverted into
Tennessee is causing considerable
concern here.
1t is recalled that when the park
way was first proposed, Director ArnO
B. Cammerer, of the National Park
Service, recommended that the park
way extend down through North Car
DINA only as far as Blowing Rock,
and then be diverted into Tennessee
and go on to the park On the Tennes-
see side. But North Carolina made a
strong fight for the parkway before
Secretary Ickes, basing its claim pure
ly on the scenic aspects, and Secre-
tary Ickes finally ruled in favor of
a route that would lie entirely within
North Carolina from the Virginia line
to the Great Smoky Mountains Ma
tional Park.
But in spite of this ruling, the park
service at first refused to let any con-
tracts and start construction except
between the Virginia line and Blowing
Rock. Finally last summer, contracts
were let and work started on a few
short links in the Mount Mitchell Sec
tor, east of Asheville.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

May IA, 1650-British parliament or
dained that adultery be punished by
death, with hanging the means of exc
cution. No one suffered this penalty
for the offense in England, but seve-
raj did in Puritanical New England.
! The law was simply modified revi-
val of a custom of early Saxons. They
burnt the adulteress, and erected a
gibbet over her ashes, whereon they
hanged the adulterer.
$50 Years Ago Today-The conven-
ton out of which was to come the
United States Constitution, met in In
dependence Hall, Philadelphia. It
wasn't intended to draw up a Consti-
tuition; the call for the meeting stated
it was "for the sole purpose of revis-
ing the articles of Confederation"
A national government was not sug-
gested until after the convention open
ed, and the idea of a federal union
instead of the existing association OF
sovereign and independent states was
bitterly fought by some of the most
distinguished members: Even a pre-
vious attempt to get delegates togeth-
er to revise the Articles of Confedera-
ton had been a failure; only five col
onies sent representatives.
May IA, 1799-A telegraph line was
operated between Boston and Martha S

As years before Morse began operating

The Boston-Martha's Vineyard line
was constructed by Jonathan Grant of
Belcherton, Mass. Witnesses of the
demonstration received answers to
questions put to persons at the other
end of the line in less than 10 minu-
ties, and were convinced of the as
founding devices workability. But
Grant couldn't convince anybody of
its value, like Nathan B. Stubblefield,
Kentuckian, who demonstrated radio
broadcasting in Philadelphia in 1902,
and patented the discovery in 1905
a decade before the world was ready
to see any use for it.

other deputy were shot and seri-
ously wounded by other deputy
sheriffs on Feb. 20. Taylor said
he was shot in a struggle when he
refused to take part with other

exhibited a pair of twisted hands
which he said had been struck by
bullets. He testified also that
while he was convalescing he was
offered $4,000 to disregard sum-

These developments also made it
increasingly clear that whatever can
be done to save the parkway to North

of it, now rests with Senator Reynolds

pointed out, however, that the House
