public debt from As to so billion
dollars.
Numerous political entities

borrowed billions from the PWA
at four per cent interest for
construction of schools, roads,

the load to private bankers with
perhaps a so per cent reduction

four to two per cent. II has al

minded men--are beginning to
complain about the secrecy now
shrouding war plans - foreign
policies - and various kinds of
aid to the Allies. They are not
upset about the central idea be-
hind the general program, but
they suggest that the admins
tration lay all its cards on the
table.
In almost every instance steps
taken to reinforce Great Britain
and France have been discovered
by accident and long after the
event. That happened with re-
spect to revival of the st. Law
renee waterway. creation of the
joint army-navy board to super
wise allied purchasing. the orig
inal permission to let them buy
airplanes in this country, the
role of the New York federal
reserve bank in acting as payoff
agent for foreign purchasers Of
arms and supplies. The failure
to admit faulty construction Of
warships likewise provoked the
same sort OF criticism.
Roosevelt's trial balloon" at
Warm Springs about war tax"
indicates that he recognizes the
force of the argument for fuller
publicity. Otherwise, the policy
will add momentum To the grow
ing demand for the searching
Congressional investigation Of
national defense policy. the re-
quest for more funds and how
they are being spent. And the
movement to limit the Presi-
dents power in the domestic
field may be extended TO the
foreign front.

When the dean of administration and
the dean of the school of agriculture
at the college; the commissioner and
the director of the test farms in the
State department; the soil and mar
keting experts of both institutions had
all studied the various findings, they
agreed that the Edgecombe location
was as nearly ideal as could be hoped
for. Then the land was bought and
the farm set up for research work in
peanut culture
The commercial growers didn't like
it, They felt that the farm should be
closer to them. They still don't like it.
and today are asking that it be moved
or another one established.
Last week the joint subcommittee
heard a lot about hog marketing in
eastern Carolina. They may hear more
about it during the hearing today. It
is quite likely that if the hog-growing
programs outlined by both the college
and the department naterializes the
center of the peanut growing industry
will shift. The committee will consider
that in connection with test farms
and experimental culture After the

was found Next, the center of the
soil adapted to peanut culture was es-
tablished. This last item was deemed
important, because of the known fact
that crops edo move" The center of
the tobacco section has moved sew
eral times in recent years, and the
same is true of other crops. So one of
THE determining factors mad 10 be the
area adapted 10 peanuts:
When all three of these centers
were determined indepently of each
other, lines were drawn. through them
and it was found that these lines dis
.sected each other about twenty miles
from the Edgecon1be test farm. When
the report of the soil specialist was
read, there wasn't much choice loft.
The test farm almost had to be located
wnere it was, adjoining. the farm al
rcady owned by the department. Or
Grating cost was also reduced, 5y req
son of the fact that office buildings
were at hand and some bookkeeping
would be eliminated,
With all of that information at hand
the test farm still was not definitely
located until administration officials
of both the college and the DEPART
ment had been called into conference
with the soil and marketing experts.

But getting back to peanuts. The
delegation here today asked for a pub
lie, hearing before the committee on
agriculture to see if they could get
another peanut test farm established
or the existing one near Tarboros NOV
ed further east. That raises the ques-
ton of why the farm was located; in
Edgecombe county.
When the demandi for a special pea
nut testing unit reached such proper
lions as to demand action. the State
Board of Agriculture authorized one
to be established. Department execu-
tives called in soil and crop special
lists from State College, and weeks
were spent in looking over suggested
locations. Finally the soil specialists
reported that the best location found
was adjoining the State test farm
near Tarboro. On this location were
found all types of peanut SOIL where
as other suggested sites had only one
or two types.
Then statistic:ans and marketing
experts of both the department and
the college were consulted. The CEN

commercial markets was located on a

Raleigh, Feb. Tt seems q yer,
major conclusion to draw frJm a very
minor premise, but it is not at all il.
logical to conclude that North Caro-
lima is in danger of losing the poten-
TALLY most popular national park in
America because of a 'Hittle local
bill introduced in the General Assem-
bly, by Representative G. c. Boswood
of Currituck.
The measure blouse Bill 221 intro
duced last Friday, would repeal the
stock law so far as it affects the
Banks section of Currituck and would
permit the scrubby, ill-kept stock of
those regions to roam at large. Bos-
wood introduced the repeater it Is
believed, because during his campaign
against thenA2epresentative Ed r.
Johnson he promised some of his con-
stituents he would do so.
What it is certain to do is to cause
abandonment of all erosion work in
Currituck county now being carried
on by the United States Park Service
ard what it threatens is the entire
Seashore National Park project, a
program which if carried through to
successful completion will give east
ern North Carolina the only seaside
National Park in America, one which
Federal Park authorities estimate will
attract more visitors than any other
in the country.
A. c. Stratton, Park Service super
intendent in charge of the erosion
work in Currituck, has announced po-
sitively and fatty that this valuable
project will be abandoned completely
and immediately if the Boswood bill
becomes law.
He points out that it would serious
ly jeopardize the Seashore Park pro-
ject as it would make a large area of
the propoed park undesirable. Estab-
llshment of the park depends largely
on acquisition by the government of
sufficient acreage.

Justice Laws Upheld
In Mclean Case As
Writ Is Denied
Court Expected to Order
Ex-PubIisher Examined
At EorIy Dote

Justice Bolitha J. Laws of District
Court was upheld yesterday by the
United States Court OF Appeals
when 1t denied an application for
a writ of prohibition and a stay
order In the case of Edward B. Nc
Lean, former Washington publisher,
which Is being considered by Justice
Laws.
The appellate court said it was
convinced no irreparable damage
will be sustained by Mr.. Mclean,
who is mental patient at the
Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital
at Towson, Nd, in the absence Of a
stay of proceedings. Accordingly, it
denied the application, assertedly
filed in Mr.. McLean's behalf, for a
stay Of proceedings in District Court.
Interested in the case are George
B. Fraser, who was for many years
Mr.. McLean's attorney; Robert H.
McNeill, who represents Mr.. Fraser;
Austin F. Garfield, guardian at law
for Mr.. Mclean, appointed by Dis
trict Court here; Nelson T. Hart
son, counsel for members of the
Mclean family, and Neil Burkin-
shaw, attorney for Rear Admiral
Mark L. Bristol, U. S. NJ, retired,
Auxiliary Committee for the former
publisher, and Mr.. Burkinshaws
associate, Daniel B. Maher.
The Commission on Mental
Health, at Justice Laws direction,
expects, probably about the latter
part of the month, to 60 to Tow.
son to examine Mr.. Mclean, ques-
ton his relatives and friends and
possibly make a list of his property
in the District of Columbia. AL
though Mr.. Mclean has been de-
clared mentally incompetent in
Maryland, he has never been 50
adjudged in the District, Justice
Laws has found.
Lawyers said that had the ap-
pellate court ruled against Justice
Laws, it would have had the ef-
feet of divesting District Court of
jurisdiction in the case at this time.
