Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-11-18

Washington, Nov 18-(AP)-The
State Department today reported 40
cases in which belligerents had de
tanned American ships for examina-
tons of papers or cargo.
Of the total detentiOns Great Bri-
tain was responsible for 33, France
unidentified vessel for one.
The report included information
received by the State Department
between September l and November
IT, Forty-four ships were detained,
but four Of these were stopped
twice.
In most cases the State Depart
ment reported American ships were
not stopped by Warships on the high
seas, but were detained when they
locked at belligerent ports. A de-
partmental statement said:
GAS general practice for reasons
Of their own, the vessels which clear
ed from ports Of the United States
on or before November 4, the date
effective Of the neutrality act of
1889, ordinarily put into belligerent
ports enroute to their destinations
and the principal difficulty thus far
has arisen in connection with delay
involved in examination of the YES
sells and their cargoes before being
permitted to proceed on their voyage.
"American ship operators are con-
tending that ships have been held for
unreasonabiy long periods" the State
Department. report showed that the
average period oi detention was
eight days.

In the Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, Nov. 18.-There is grow
ing opinion that the North Carolina
legislatures ''fiddling" Of early 1889
session is now being followed by
burning of large part of North Car
Olinas forest Wealth-thus differing
slightly from the musical perfor-
nance Of Nero who sawed away with
his bow contemporaneously with the
conflagration Of Rome.
In short, the General Assembly is
getting the creditor should it be
debit?-for at least a large part Of
the hundreds of thousands of dollars
damage being done in western North
Carolina by presently raging forest
fires.
In support Of the contention, it is
pointed out that the legislators were
asked, on the basis of expert esti-
mates Of needs, to appropriate SOL 900
annually as the States share of CO.
operation with Federal government
and counties in fire prevention and
fighting program. The lawmakers re-
sponded to the request by making
available less than half that amount
-$35, 045 annually, to be exact.
AS a result the State was unable
to extend its system Of cooperative
fire fighting in a number of coun-
ties which want to participate in the
program; and in several of these
practically defcnseless counties the
flames are now raging fiercely with
resulting destruction which will run
into figures as yet unestimated but
