VOTE CASE RECORD
Details OF Probe In Third
Congressional District To
Be Given To GaylOr

RALEIGH, July 31.-RNA o r
ney General Harry Mcmillan dis
closed today that he would turn
over to Charles P. Gaylor, Wayne
county court solicitor, the record
of investigations into the disappear
ance of ballots prior to the first
democratic primary in the third
congressional district.
In Goldsboro, Gaylor said that
while he had not received the rec
ord, a conference with the attor-
ney general had led him to be-
lieve two charges might be brought
against Charles L. Abernethy, Jr.,
of New Bern, an unsuccessful can
didate for the congressional nom
ination and son of the former third
district representative.
These charges are, the solicitor
said, conspiracy to violate the cleo
ton law, and receiving stolen goods
(ballots), knowing them to have
been stolen.
Twin Investigations were made
into the disappearance of 1900 bal
lots from the office of the Crav9l
county board of elections, n by
the state bureau of investigation
and other by w. A. Lucas of Will
son, chairman Of the state board
of elections.
Lucas has said Abernethy turned
over to him 500 Of the ballots but
did not explain where he got them.
The attorney general said he al
so was giving Gaylors letter from
Abernethy, written in connection
with the case.
Mcmillan has also had a letter
from Charles L. Abernethy, Sr.
However, contents of the two COM
munications were not revealed.
Mcmillan said The necessary
action in the case would be taken
in the Wayne county court. 2

WAR INTERPRETIVE
CONTINUED From Page One)

German invasion of Norway was
due to factors of distance, which
made it impracticable to supple
ment naval vessels with sufficient
air units to blockade the Skagerrak
and effectively.
But in the (English) channel
and in the North Sea on the other
hand, our CnavaD forces will pol
crate with close and effective air
assistance" he adde d..
Factors not Changed
During the ensuing rain of air
bombs that has fallen on and about
England for more than 40 days
and nights and has thus revealed
the duration of the Biblical flood
rains, little has developed to
change the factors Churchill then
enumerated.
The great question is-can we
break Hitler's air weapon?" was
the way Churchill then summed il
up.
That still is the question, mol dc
Swiss reports that Hitler has calico
upon Mussolini for heavy reen.
forcements lessen its force. 1t is
also the thought in Gayda's mino
in warning that a repetition against
England of the swift and smashing
attacks on Holland, Belgium and
France is not feasible.
The Gayda warning also serves
to point up anew the fact that the
Nazi war bulletins have been Civ
ing claims of staggering ship loss
es inflicted on Britain more atten-
ton than bombing attacks on the
island itself. There is no possibility
Of reconciling British and German
reports as to the. extent of that
shipping toll. They. are fantasiccaI
ly far apart.
A great deal depends upon which
reports come closest to the truth.
Should the fact be anywhere near
the German claims, a danger of
starvation far graver than that of
invasion is hoving over England.
Hunger could do more than bombs
to break British will to resist.
II the Nazi high command be.
lieves its own claims of British
sea tonnage destroyed and port IA
cilities utterly wrecked along Eng
lands east coast, it need only in
tensify the attack at sea and await
the certain end. Invasion would be
a needless and risky business.
1t cannot be doubted that London
reports Of schemes for community
cooking to conserve food and de-,
crease feeding costs will be seized
upon by the Nazi-Fascist press to
gloat over impending collapse OF
England due to hunger. Accept the
British explanation for that pro.
Jected move, however, and it takes
on a wholly different meaning. It
appears to be primarily a political
plan to establish a one-for-all-and-
all-forone feeding poicy and thus
bolster British democracy. R h
and poor would feed alike.
Accept British admiralty figures
on cargo tonnage losses. and Eng
land seems secure from starvation
for months or years to come. Neu-
trail observers reaching this side of
the Atlantic recently have reported
many huge conveys and individual
cargo craft still steaming toward
England from ports of the world. 2
