Exclusively The :? Sta,

THE WAR CORRESPONDENT who
startled the Nation with his story of the
treachery which led to the successful Ger
man invasion of Norway yesterday gave
the readers of The Evening Star another
news beat, the tragic story of a handful
Of brave British infantrymen armed only
with rifles and light machine guns who
fought hip-deep in snow against German
artillery and bombing planes at Steinkjer
and who clung tenaciously to their position
facing the German advance until finally,
their ranks pitifully reduced, they were
forced to fall back.
The first and exclusive eyewitness
story Of the battle which Mr.. Stowe de-
tailed in The Evening Star yesterday is
one of the most dramatic to come out of
the war; It is another in long series of
outstanding news stories appearing in The
Star bringing to the readers the news when
it happens Most of the activities in Europe
occur in the hours in which The Evening
Star is published. Evening in Europe is
midday here.
When the Germans invaded Norway on
April Is, the speed with which the occupa-
ton of Oslo was accomplished left the world
amazed and bewildered. For days discus
sion was intense, the appetite for news
avid. It fell to the lot of Mr. Stowe to dis
close the treachery in Norway and the du-
plicity in Germany, the modern adoption
of the Trojan Horse to present-day war;
fare. Repercussions from this amazing and
almost unbelievable revelation were felt all
over the world. Other nations whose future
is in doubt as they struggle to retain their
neutrality, took immediate steps to prevent
treachery at home from bringing a fate
similar to that of Norway.
In an almost unparalleled tribute to Mr..
Stowe, Time Magazine yesterday ran full

Stowe white-haired, 40-year-old corre-
spondent for the Chicago Daily News and
it's syndicate in Oslo's Grand Hotel
talking idly about Europes dormant war;
mo guns rumbled nearer than the .Sylt
The good burghers of Oslo were safe in
their beds. The hot breath of battle seemed
far away.
AT half past midnight the city heard it's
first warlike sound in hundred years. A
noise like thousand angry motorists
stalled in traffic jam-the raucous below
ing of AFRAID sirens.
"At7:45 the next morning, Stowe and his
colleagues, Edmund Stevens of the Chris
tian Science Monitor and Warren Irwin of
NB.C., watched Nazi bombers roar over
the trim Norwegian housetops. All morn
ing the German Junkers came, not in sky
darkening swar1ns, but by twos and threes.
No bombs fell. Scarcely a shot was fired.
I'm the streets, at public buildings, men
acted like curious children. There was little
terror. Only bewilderment.
"By in the afternoon, the incredible
had happened. The tramp of Nazi boots
the rumble Of Nazi lorries, were echoing
through Oslo streets. The conquerors,
marching by threes, made the thin gray
column look longer. Unarmed city police
held back crowd that numbered thou
sands of brawny young Norsemen of fight
ing age. People gaped like yokels on the
Fourth Of July at the spectacle of 1900
Germans taking possession Of city of
253O00-a handful of invaders so sure of
easy conquest that they had brass band!

The North American Newspaper Alli-
ance dispatches occur exclusively in Wash
ington in The STAR Earlier this week,
through the North American Newspaper
Alliance, The Star was able to give it's
readers an eyewitness account of the
heroic battle of the British Destroyer
Hardy against fve-to-one odds in the
Narvlk naval engagement. A hard-hit ship
with only boy handling the wheel, with
most of it's guns out of action and with the
greater part of it's officers killed or fatally
wounded kept firing to the end which came
when the Hardy poked her nose aground.
The unparalleled Associated Press serv-
ice from the war front and from the seats
af %h> IL
with outstanding individuals such as Edgar
Ansel Mowrer of the Chicago Daily News
Foreign Service and William L. White, keep
Star readers always informed of authentic
news as the news occurs.
In warfare these days more than ever
in the history Of the world, newspaper
must give it's readers something besides the
bare thread of events. The puzzling moves
which are difficult for the lay mind to weigh
need explaining. There must be inside
knowledge of military tactics and of di-
plomacy The Star brings to it's readers
the opinions Of outstanding Individuals
There are the daily interpretive articles of
Constantine Brown of The Stars staff, the
writer who forecast the landing of British
troops in Norway. In the diplomatic field
are the articles also of Lloyd George which
appear in the Editorial Section on Sunday
and the dispatches of Pertinax, famous
French journalist. In military affairs, Maj.
George Fielding Eliot and COL Frederick
Palmer explain military strategy as it un-
folds, Maj Eliot on this side and Col.
Palmer from Europe.
In Berlin is one of the outstanding re-
porters in the world, Louis P. Lochner,
who writes for The Associated Press. His
integrity and unbiased presentation of
facts have won him the confidence of the
Nazi government, and he obtains news
from authentic sources which from his long
experience he is able to judge for relia-
bility.
Backing the reporters is the Wirephoto
branch Of The Associated Press which
flashes from Europe in matter of minutes
newspictures of the outstanding events and

pean intrigue, familiar with Oslo's de-
fenses the thing didn't make sense.
"Stowe got busy and, little by little,
began to pick up the pieces of the most fan
tastic story of the war. A story of small
but potent Norwegian war fleet in the
harbor whose crews had been deliberately
ordered ashore. A story Of fortresses and
anti-aircraft batteries that didn't fire. or
fired startlingly wide of the mark A story
of mines whose electrical control system
had been disconnected. A story of free
people infested through and through with
spies, who could never have crept in to key
positions without the aid of traitors.
"Chauffeured by a fair compatriot with
smiling comeback to German gallantries,
Stowe escaped to Stockholm and gave the
world the news of Norway's gigantic inside
job. Another feather in the cap of the re-
porter who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1880
-. the man who wrote the most eloquent
dispatch of the Finnish incident :. the
40-year-old man who was told by New
York newspaper last fall that he was too
old to cover war"
'"Take a poll among newsmen for ace
correspondent of World War II, and Leland
Stoves name would probably top the list"
MIR. Stoves story, carried in Washing
ton exclusively by The Evening Star, was
outstanding, yet it is only one Of many
which The Star has brought it's readers
from the many sources Of news at The
Stars disposal.
There was, for instance, the account
during Russia's invasion of Finland, by
James Aldridge of the North American
Newspaper Alliance which seemed fantas-
tic in it's details he described the freezing
of the poorly-clad Russian soldiers who
fought in the thirty and forty below zero
temperatures of the Finnish warfare. His
dispatch which tested credulity to the limit

Lewis, who is from the small town
of Fallston, played basketball in
high school and hit three times his
weight in baseball. However he had
never seen track or cross country
meet un;.i ne came to Carolina, and
the way he stumbled into the two
new sports forms an interesting
story.
His dormitory athletic manager,
George link, talked Wimpy int en-
tering the cake race, which link,

cedng year. His Well meaning but
.ill-advised friends told Lewis to go
out and keep up with the leader,
and as Wimpy explains it, he didn't
have any more sense than do IL.
Lewis finlsned third, and Coach
Ransom. always alert for talent, in
.vited him out for cross country. and
the rest is history. Wimpy broke in
his second sophomore meet, worked
his way up to firStS against Duke
and Davidson as a junior, and rose
this fall to the captaincy OF the
South'S No. hill-and-dale outfit
Wimpy also ran a good tWo-mile on
his freshman and sophomore track
team. An apprendectomy laid him up
last spring, but he is back in harness
now and training daily for those

No explanation Of the reversal Of
the usual trend has been volunteered
by Revenue Department officials.
but there is some speculation as to
the effect OF the national defense
program upcn gas tax revenue.
The only tremendous construction
project IN North Carolina under the
defense program IS that at Fort
Bragg. and ii is doubted that the
motor luci consumed in hauling ma
ter.@ls ior tni% cantOMment would
account for the unusual situation.
It is felt. however. that the boom
which business is now enjoying is
due quite largely 10 the general pick
up caused by defense spending.
North Cardinals textile industry. in
particular. is working al lull speed:
and while the actual highway trans
portation of textile products might
not be accompanied with very
substantial increase in gasoline tax
collections. the general prosperity of
textile operators and operatives
would add much to the total.
In spite of the optimistic outlook
Of the immediate present. economic
observers are still keeping their fin
gers crossed about predicting con-
tinued increases. They point out that
the reduced revenue North Carolina
tanners will get from tobacco hasn't
showed up yet in the tax returns. be-
cause the growers have so far re-
ceived about as much as up TO the
same period last year. The differ
ence lies ahead Last year at the
same time there still remained to be
sold more than 40 per cent of the to-
bacco crop. This year it is about 80
per cent marketed. There isn't going
to be much more coming in. How
that will affect tax receipts remains
10 be seen.

She was saying, Vance, you

town for-for an early dinner.
There isn't any reason why you
should go. Ovens got some sort of
fireworks show going on later. You
see, Jacques has to drive in at
once and he can drop me off. You
can call me tomorrow. Goodby,
Miss O'Reilly. So nice to see you
again"
She was gone as abruptly as she
had come.
Kit didn't look at Vance then.
She felt his humiliation as much as
if it were her own.
He said lightly, "I'm glad Mimi
doesn't insist on my driving her
back. She knows how much I'm en-
Toying this. 1 don't often get

"Of course you don't" she said.
Vance, lid like to have your ad-

He said he'd be delighted.
Kit got up from the table and
moved over to the lounge when
Anna came in with the tray of cof-

side her.
Vance said, This is like old
