Auto Owners
Would Benefit.
On Liability
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Jan. lathe hitch hiker
or owners wife who is injured in
an ordinary automobile accident in
North Carolina will be unable to re
cover damages against the owner, if
the General Assembly enacts bill
introduced in the House yesterday by
Representative Ashby Robinson, of
Mcdowell county
The bill, as a matter of fact, does
not mention either hitch hiker" or
wife," but it is so worded as to in
clude both within its provisions which
will be more often applicable to these
two classes than to any other.
What the bill does, in brief, con-
else language is to relieve from Ii
ability or ordinary negligence" the
driver and owner for injury to any
voluntary guest" in any motor We
hicle accident.
This bill would put North Carolina
law on the subject of injuries to guest
riders in me.hing of tE/ same status
as is many other states which now
require proof of gross negligence or
wilfulness before such guest can re-
cover for injuries.
Insurance companies writing liabil-
ity policies on motor vehicles will
probably be more interested in pass
age of the Robinson bill than will any
one else, though it is contended that
over the long pull its enactment would
reduce the preHiums for this type Of
Insurance, premiums which are no
inordinately high
Pass gre of the bill would also be
welcomed by lawyers, as it would
make even more unsettled the ru es of
law already unsettled as they apply
to automobile acc dents. Thereby
more controvers c5 v o.; d IDLY ari-e.

Complete Story to
Wait, Spokesman
For Reich Soys
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct. 26.-A German
spokesman limited today that Great
Britain was not telling the whole
story of the cost in British tonnage
OF the bitter war at sea. :.
German submarines, warplanes
and surface raiders almost daily are
challenging British supremacy on
the seas, with British sunken Ship
ping calculated in the hundreds of
thousands of tons. But the German
admiralty and propaganda ministry,
for the time being, are giving no pre-
else figures on the accomplishments
OF Nazi sea raiders.
"Our sailors and aviators are out
there, at Scapa Flow, in the North
Sea and in the East Atlantic, maxi
Ing a good account of themselves, :"
a propaganda ministry spokesman
said.
But the whole story cannot be
told now, and for actual German ac-
compllshmentS at sea the world, for
the time being, must be content with
the understated admissions of the
British admiralty.
Germany is issuing no statistics.
In fact, Germany has only an in
complete picture of the successes of
her actions at sea.
The accomplishments of airplane
raiders are known almost imme-
diately, but commanders of surface
and submarine vessels report only
when they have an opportunity to
use wireless without danger of in
Perception"
Raiding at sea is the German
answer to British efforts to blockade
Germany, it was said in official
quarters, and the raiding policy is
being guided by Britains conduct of
her blockade.
Any cargoes in British ships which
