CCC BOYS TIE DOWN SEACOAST
ALONG ATLANTIC GRAVEYARD
BY PAUL SIMMONS
AP Feature Service Writer

HATTERAS, N. c., jan 49,
Alongside the Graveyard of the
Atlantic" more than 700 CCC
boys are tieing down North Caro-
ina's rowing outer banks with
brush, grass and Shrubbery.
In the wind and spray of the
Atlantic, they are working on a
National Park Service Project to
restore the historic island fringe
to a state similar to that the first
white men found here. Their ter
ritory extends fmom Kitty Hawk
down by Mays Head and Halter
as, to Ocracoke.
When their work is done, a
picturesque coastal park is to be
created under a recent act of
congress. A paradise of hunting,
fishing, bathing and other sports
win be opened to thousands of
outdoor pleasure seekers.
Those who 60 there will be on
the rim of an untamed ocean
known and feared as the Grave
yard of Ships. Treacherous
shoals and currents have taken a
steady there ever since sea-borne
traffic found the shore route.
An Early Description
When the work began of re-
claiming the narrow strip of san
dy beach between the Atlantic
and the mainland sounds, the
area from Currituch to Point
Lookout had become largely a
barren. windy wave-scarred
stretch.
1t bore little resemblance to a
primevial picture drawn by an
early chronicler who described
the Ounces as $50 full to graypeS
as the very beating and surge of
the sea OVERLOOKING them .
climbing towards the top of the
high cedars, and l think that in
all the world like abundance is
not to be found"
Kill Devil Hill Saved
When white settlers came, they
cut the wood for fuel and timber.
Wild cattle and ponies grazed on
the grass, and the banks were laid
wide open to the wind and waves.
Devastation went on until the
government found it would have
to moor down the rapidly shifting
Kill Devil hill to erect its impos-
ing memorial tower honoring the
Wright brothers for their first air.
plane flight. A thick mating of
grass and shrubbery was induced
to grow in the sandy surface and
Kill Devil hill has not budged
since.
Emanuel ]. Byrum, an old saw
mill man who landed on Cape
Hatteras in 1884 to establish a
CCC camp, made a similar dis
covery. He learned that by put
ting down brush on the beach,
the sea could be made to bring
back the soil it had stolen.
Brush fences are erected to
catch deposits from the sea and
layer after layer is added until
the surface has been built back
Grass and the dogwood trees
then are planted to save the soil
from new raids of the waves.
Park Nucleus Formed
Byrum and his helpers saved
the famous old Hatteras light
house. which had been abandoned
to the sea. by this process. He is
now consulting superintendent of
the project to reclaim the entire
outer banks from Kitty Hawk 10
Hatteras and beyond.
The government already owns
approximately 10000 acres for po-
tential use in creating the coastal
park and is expected to acquire

vigorous denial that Senator
Millard Tydings of Maryland or
his law firm in Baltimore received
"a single penny" or other COM
pensation for putting socalled fair
trade or price maintenance bills
through the Maryland legislature
or the United States Senate came
from q member of the firm today,
following a speech by Represen-
tativO Davey Lewis asking how
much the firm had won" through
enactment of the measures.
Question and denial brought
into the open undercover
rumblings forecasting the explos
ion, heard in Maryland politics for
several weeks past.
QUOTES FROM lad"
Representative Lewis, opposing
Senator Tydings for the Demo
cratic senatorial nomination, and
speaking last night in Salisbury,
quoted from an advertisement
carried in a nationally circulated
journal of the drug trade. in
which a manufacturer OF
proprietary product reproduced a
facsimile of q $4,000 check and
declared it had bet $4,000 and
won," in getting the Tydtngs-
Miller bill through Congress.
Although defeated in applica-
ton to price maintenance else
where, Senator Tydings succeeded
in having a measure applying to
the District of Columbia attached
as an amendment to the annual
District revenue act.
BARS PRICE CUTTING
In effect, it prohibits dealers
in proprietary remedies or other
patented or trade-marked articles
on which the retail price Is fixed
by the manufacturer from cutting
the price to the consumer below
a level acceptable to the manufac-
turer.
Representative Lewis accused
his opponent of placing "dicta-
torial powers" in the hands of
what he called the "patent-medi-
cine bund," the "bane" of honest
medicine. 1t was charged that
the Tydings firm of Tydings,
SauerWein, Levy and Archer had
been interested in putting a SIM
liar bill through the Maryland
legislature.
TYDINGS CLAIM DENIED
Kent Mullikin, of Laurel, man.
ager of the Lewis campaign,
whom Tydings declared earlier in
the week worked actively for pas
sage of the Maryland bill, had an
swered this charge by saying he
had been approached by the Tyd-
ings law firm with a suggestion
that he sponsor the bill at An.
napoliS. and that he had refused
to do so.
"The plain answer to this in
quiry," Herbert Levy, of the
Baltimore firm declared today
In answer to the Lewis query in
Salisbury, lis that neither the
firm nor any member of the
firm received, either directly or
indirectly. a single penny by
way of fees, payment or any
other compensation for the pas
sage of the bill at Annapolis
or any other place and the i'm
plication that the firm or any
member of the firm did is an
unmitigated lie.

hard up for issues if he has to

Joseph A. Cantrell's assertion that
State Senator Stedman Prescott
had initiated the Sixth District
Judgeship bill in the 1884 Mary
land Legislature.
CHARGES UNTRUTH
In a recent published statement,
Cantrell, a candidate for Congress,
charged that Prescott was guilty
OF an untruth when he stated
that he PreScott) did not initiate
the bill and had no knowledge Of

troduced.
Jones declared that he per.
sonally prepared the bill and had
it introduced. He said:
Senator Prescott never re-
quested me or anyone else that
know of to prepare this bill
or have it introduced, and as
1 had the bill in my posses
sion until shortly before it was
introduced 1 am sure that SEN
ator Prescott never even saw
it, so Mr.. Cantrell's assertion
that Prescott studied the bill
several days before it was intro
duced just can't be true.
TEMPEST IN TEAPOT
'The whole irritation is mere
ly a tempest in a teapot by q

pie of the State have decided
that the Sixth judicial district
shall have a new Judge to be

of 1888, and Mr.. Cantrell'S politi-
cal statement will amount to
nothing more than cheap politi-
cal propaganda"
State Senator Prescott is now

Have just finished reading Charles

That is one story which l wish could
continue indefinitely.
In that same issue is an article
about Homer Rodeheaver, the worlds;
greatest community sing leader
heard him at the Billy Sunday meet
ings in Richmond about twenty years
ago. Sometimes l almost wish the
churches would do away with at least
part of all of their form, and just
let the whole congregation join m the
singing of those real and old-time
hymns that wake folks up I believe
that would help the churches more

ne hing.
Joe i,l'itt tells the tale on Gar

crowd of folks that Garland rode
clean over to Raleigh just to buy five
hundred potato slips, when ne could
have brought five thousand, if neces-
say, right here in Granville. Gar
land said his family went with him
as they all needed change of cli-
mate, and enjoyed the day. All got
to say is that the next time anyone
goes 20 Raleigh Richmond, Dicker-
son, Watkins, Celia, or Epson, and
have an empty seat, in the car, to
let Old Nose go with them. I like to
ride on the highway and count the

that he had only pork and grits for
breakfast as he said, II porked my
head out of the window, and gritted

acter over here, if you do not know
it. The next time you Henderson folks
have a tig Merchants Exposition or
something really great on that order,

let him have a booth and tell the for

What Clarence knows about that bust
