The attorney general again stressed
the fact that the State hasn't the
remotest intention to take any part
in the merits or demerits of the High
Point project His whole contention
will be that the Yadkin river is not
and therefore not subject
to control of the power commission
or any other Federal agency. ~ste
Whether the Mcmillan interven-
vention will bring the Federal gov
ernment into the controversy on the
other side is a matter for some spe-
culation. No ruling in the action,
which was brought by the county of
Yadlin to restrain High Point from
land in the county,
would have any immediate effect on
the commissions decision in the
case that the erection of
a power project would affect navi-
cation on the Yadkin; but a final
judicial determination that the
stream is non-navigable would GER
tainly open the way for the Alumi-

To Body; Dumped
In Woods
BY the Associated Press.

MORRISTOWN, N. j., Aug. TO-
A motorist who confessed he and
a companion dumped the body of
an elderly woman in woods after
their car struck and killed her, was
held in Morris County Jail today
as a material witness while State
police sought the companion.
Norman Quay, A, of Jersey City
led searching party into the woods
of Randolph Township last night
after he walked into a Jersey City
police station and told Desk Sergt.
Charles MCGOWAN he was one of
the men who dumped the body.
The body was found some miles
from where the search started.
Relates Story.
State Police Sergt. William Lange
said Quay told this story:
Quay and Raymond Lynch, 81, OF
Jersey City, driver of the car, OBJ
tanned it at Lake Hopatcong and
started for Jersey City early yester-
day. At the intersection of routes
and 10, outside Dover the car
struck Mrs. Bertha Ayres, 66, OF
Randolph Township, hurting her 25
feet through the air.
The men got out of the car, picked
up Mrs. Ayres and told witnesses
they would drive her to hospital
On the way they had a blowout in
one of their tires. AS they were
changing tires they discovered Mrs
Ayres was dead.
Decided to Leave Body.
They talked over what to do and
decided to dump the body in woods
They drove about 2 miles into the
woods and threw the body out.
They drove another miles and
into another woods, where they
abandoned the car. Locating a
New York-bound bus they boarded
it, Quay getting off at Jersey City
and Lynch continuing into New
York.
During the day Quay brooded
about what was done and decided
to tell the police.

A lot of the Districts Dutch are
saving up nickels so they can go to
the New York Worlds Fair and pay
tribute to one of the men who made
it possible-their ancestor, Wolfert
Van Kouwenhoven, who helped buy
Manhattan Island from the Indians
in 1925.
A short round-cheeked woman
with flaxen hair, 10 generations re-
moved from bluff old Wolfert, is
organizing all Van Kouwenhoven
descendants in this region for con-
certed arrival at the Fair on Sep
tember l, when they expect to get
together with thousands of other
Van Kouwenhovens in the little
theater, Hall of Special Events on
Petticoat Lane.
She is Mrs. Helen Luckett, of
1912 Orren street NE, who wants
it well understood that she is proud
to be Dutch" Though she married
out of the old family, she still ex-
poets lots of others to follow her
to the ceremonies at New York.
When that city was still known
as New Amsterdam, the first Ameri-
can Van Kouwenhoven was an origi-
nal "bouwreester" in charge of one
Of the five town "BouWeries." He
built himself house 26 feet long
and % feet wide and raised five
stalWart sons. Two became brewers
one traded in sloop, one inter-
preted Indian tongues, and one ap-
pealed to the Stats General in Hol-
land for relief in governmental af-
| fairs
The old Van Kouwenhoven name
has since largely become corrupted
to names like Conover, Mrs. Luckett
says she is sorry to report. Ap-
parently the first of the tribe to
come to Washington was her grand
father, Matthias Conover, who ar
rived from Redbank, N. j., during
the Civil War and set up a grocery
store There was no real migrat-
ton here until the years of the New
! Deal.
