AeronauticaI Leaders
Warned Of Menace
By Dictatorships
Mason Of c. A. A. Says
U. S. Must Struggle
To Leadership

Characterizing the desires of Nazi
Germany as Unsuitable" G.. Grant
Mason of the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority last night warned delegates
to the national aeronautic meet
ing of the Society of Automotive
Engineers at final banquet meet
ing in the Washington Hotel that
the United States must prepare to
meet "the grave political and mill
tary implications" of present Ger
man and Italian developments.
The same menace which has re-
suited in the wiping out of Czecho-
Slovakia is present in Latin Amer
lea and must be met by the United
States politically and economically
there, Mr.. Mason said.
The policy of the italian gov
ernment, Mr.. Mason said, can be
expressed in Mussolini's motto,
Aviation is the army Of tomor-
row." This policy, he intimated,
is being carried into South Amer
lea, where Italy now is operating
aeronautical services which soon are
to be connected to the mother
country by service from Rome to
South America.
Last fall at Munich" Mr.. Mason
said, I'VE witnessed the astounding
spectacle of a German nation, lack
ing many of the most basic raw
materials and without the neces-
sary gold to buy them, playing a
winning game against countries
rich in raw materials, with empires
stretching around the globe and
with money to buy anything.
Terror of Opponents"
I'm that game it was aces-sfying
aces and a full house of airplanes
which took the pot. Czecho-Slo-
vakia gives further corroboration of
Gen. Goering's recently published
statement: Let us not deceive our
selves-the German air force is the
terror of our opponents and will
remain SO.
I'm addition to the grave politi-
cal and military implications, it is
disturbing to note the threat to
our own civil aviation industry re-
sulting from the present aeronauti-
cal policies and practices of Italy
and Germany"
In addition to the Italian de-
velopments in South America, Mr..
Mason pointed out, German air
ways now are operating on the east
and west coasts, as well as across
South America, and have been fly

Cannot Increase
Land Tax Because
OF BeautifiCatiOn

Raleigh, Sept. 12.-Farmers and
landowners who beautify their farms
and homes, paint their buildings,
terrace their lands, protect their for
ests tracts against fire, or who plant
vacant land to forest trees, need
have no fear that their valuations
and hence their taxes will be in
creased, since any such increase is
expressly forbidden by the 1889
machinery act, it was pointed out
today by State Forester J. S. Holmes,
of the Department of Conservation
and Development.
This provision protecting land
owners from an increase in the tax
valuations of lniir lands is tucked
away in Section 500 of the machinery
act as follows.
''It is hereby declared to be the
policy Of this state so to use it's
system Of real estate taxation so as
to encourage the conservation of
natural resources and the beautifi-
cation of homes and roadsides, and
all tax assessors are hereby instruct
ed to make no increase in the tax
valuation of real estate as a result
Of the owners enterprise in adopt
ing any one or more of the following:
81. Planting and care of lawns, shade
trees, shrubs and flowers for non
commercial purposes.
20. Repainting buildings.
SO. Terracing or other methods of
soil conservation, to the extent that
they preserve values already ex-
isting.
"a. Protection of forests against
fire.
"5. Planting of forest trees on va
cant land for reforestation purposes,
for ten years after such planting."
State Forester Holmes considers
the first clause of this section unique.
He attributes its adoption to the
work of Classification Amendment
Commission, which has been work.

OTHERS VIEWS
HOT GOVERNOR RACE

To the Editor:
In spite of the war talk, interest
in the contest for the gOvernOrshlp
continues to grow in North Carolina.
It seems now that five candidates
will enter the race. Broughton, Hor-
ton, Smith, Cooper and Maxwell.
Each of the candidates are active
and every part of the State has been
visited by one or more OF the asplr-
ants in recent months. The opinion
is general that it will take a real he
man to follow Governor Hoey and
give. satisfaction to all the different
factions in the Democratic party. II
the war becomes world wide, the
next governor of North Carolina will
have a big job to handle and it will
take both brains and courage to
meet the situation.
Each of the splendid gentlemen
who are now being most frequently
mentioned claim to possess the neceS-
sary attributes to qualify them for
tne honor. The people have not yet
passed on their respective quanIl-
cations and until that is done, no one
will know what the outcome will pe.
There is one feature OF the coming
contest that is very gratifying to the
people of the State and that is the
very pleasant fact tnat no matter
who wins the nomination, a charm
ing and lovely lady Will preside over
the Governors Mansion the next
IOur years. Ali the candidates have
been exceedingly fortunate in the
selection OF their wives and any one
OF them will grace the Governor S
Mansion if their man is the success
1ul aspirant.
1t is too early yet to make any
prediction with any degree OF Ger
tainty just whom the people Will
select as their standard-bearer, but
there are many signs that point to-
wards one particular candidate at
this time whose name for obvious
reasons will not be mentioned until
a later date. This candidate has had
years of experience and probably
knows more about the problems and
needs of the State than any other
man and from all indications he is
now leading the field in the race.
War or no war, the contest will be
a hotly contested one from start to
finish.

Feels No Axe
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. 12.-There's one
area in North Carolina where it will
never be necessary to plead poeti-
cally "Woodman Spare That Tree,''
and that because the forest is a
memorial to tie man who wrote the
poem Trees" Joyce Kilmer.
The area is far back in the noun
tains of Graham county Its stand of
timber is largely aboriginal. 1t will
not be spared from cutting contrary
to the usual practice of the Forest
Service (whic4. Ill ll;:ges and harvest
and replant5 forest iand.).
The Joyce Kiilner tract might
easily have inspired his verse. The
visitor plunges into $500 acres of
vast, virgin forest. Giant poplars, as
much as 20 feet in circumference,
soard toward the sky, accom- = .n1eu
by hemlocls, huge red oaks and
many otner varieties. This unusual
forest will be preserved as a natural
refuge for the trees the poet revered.
The area, a remote cove, has been
made accessible to visitors in. the past
few years and further development
IS planned. from parking area,
trails lead to points OF scenic or bo-
tanlcal interest in the forest One
trail about half mile long leads
from Little Santeclah creek to a giant
