RALEIGH, Oct. 3.-North Caro-
lina's democratic leaders are jubi-
liant over appointment OF Dick Rey-
nolds as head of the national COM
m%ittee's money collecting head
quarters for more than one rea-
son.
Obvious, are the facts that the
finance director is able to donate
a tidy sum himself and that he
has the proper connections through
and from which to solicit.
But over and above all that,
the real cause of rejoicing lies in
the evidence that not all the
wealthy of North Carolina are not
in the Willkie camp.
There is a general impression,
probably correct in the main, that
most of the industrial and business
tycoons of the state silently, if not
audibly, r back of the G. o. P.'s
efforts to get rid OF the New Deal.
The fact that a scion of the
Reynolds family, symbolic of Tar
Heel wealth, is in the democratic
camp not only as an openly avow-
ed supporter but actually as a
worker, will have considerable eff.
feet in boosting party morale.

Streamlined

ELIZABETH CITY, Oct. 1.-R-
A stream-lined cemetery lies in

welt runway at the U. S. coast

At first the old Hollowell bury

ed ute a problem to the designers
of the base because Miss Margaret
Hollowell, owner of the site, in
sisted, coast guard or non coast
guard, that her ancestors must
not be moved.
Coast Guard officials were equal
ly adamant, pointing out that even
the most modern plane stops
oftimes with disastrous results
when it hits something a big as
an upright grave stone.
The little burying ground threat
ened to bar the base, a link in
the country's new defense system.
Then modernity stepped in with
q compromise. Why not lay the
monuments flat on the ground so
that the fast moving wheels of an
airplane would not w feel a
jar as they rolled over the last
resting place of the Hollowells
And so the same markers that
have stood in the old cemetery
now form part of the base for
some of the nations largest planes.
The base, the only one of its
kind between Cape May, N. j.,
and Charleston, S. c., will be died.

Lindsay c. Warren, who will be-
come comptroller-general Nov. l,
and Herbert E. CASTOR, assistant
secretary of the navy, will speak.
Both land and sea planes may
land at the huge base. Its radius
of operation is approximately 400
miles, covering the dangerous Dia-
mond and Frying Pan shoal

ALASKA RUNNING

Valley Of Ten Thousand
Smokes Now Has Only
Five, Investigators Say

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. g.
R-Alaska is running out of
smokes.
Two government Investigators
returned from an inspection trip
to the valley of ten thousand
smokes to report there are only
five smokes left.
The Investigators. Frank T.
Been, superintendent of Mckinley
Park, and Victor H. Culhane, nat
ional park service wild-life supe-
rintendent, also discovered that a
beautiful lake, similar to Crater
Lake, Ore, had been formed in
the crater of Mount Katmai, on
the Alaskan peninsula.
It was Mount Katmai that
started all the fuss June s, 1912,
when it erupted and showered an
ash blanket a foot deep even on
Kodiak Island, 100 miles away.
The eruption set loose not only TO-
900 smokes, but countless jets OF
steam from vents in the valley
floor ranging from tiny cracks to
craters $50 feet in diameter.
In September, 1918. President
Wilson set aside nor than a
million acres as the Katmai Nat
ional monument.
The valley is still spectacular
and one of the wonder spots OF

is every justification for con-
tinuing it as a national monu-
ment despite the disappearance of
most of the famous fumaroles."

role a small hole from which vol

SCHOOL PATROLS

RALEIGH, Oct. ga major
share of credit for North Cardinals
almost perfect safety record in its
school bus transportation is being
handed these days to the youthful
school bus patrols.
Officials of the State Highway
Safety Division are loud in their
praises of the patrols; stat. school
heads say that without them nc
such fine record could be made;
local law enforcement men all over
the state are proud to cooperate
with the youngsters; and local
school principals and teachers
and the young patrolmen them
selves r proud, though not boast
full, over theiy part ir the safety
program.
The record of which they are
justly proud is this: during the
school year 1939-40 North Caro-
lina's schools operated the worlds
largest bus system wit -out a single
fatality. Which means that 1888
buses transported nearly $50, 00(
children an average of II miles or
every school day of tie year. Lay
all those miles end to end and
you could 60 all the ~-ay roune
the world twice and then have
enough left over to get on thu
underside of the glove.
The bus drivers, most Of whom
are high school students them
selves (only a few counties emplo.
adults, must Of course be givel
more than a mere pat on the bacl
in connection with this marvelou
showing; but it is admitted on al
sides that they could not hav'
done it without the bus patrol

ABOARD WILLKIE TRAIN EN-
ROUTE TO PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3.
w L. Willkie extended
his presidential campaign into
Ohio and Pennsylvania Industrial
cities today after accusing the
Roosevelt administration of play
ing politics with preparedness.
While cheering men and women
who filled the $4,000 seats OF
Cleveland's public auditorium
waved a multitude of small Amerl-
can flags, Willkie declared last
night: j.,
II say that we are now exposed
to the aggressors because OF the
political theories and the political
ambitions of a few men. We are
not prepared and we are not gett-
ing prepared"
The republican presidential no.
rninee, interrupted time after time
by applause, described the de-
Tense job as appalling in magni-
tude" and offered this program IN
event of his election:
Aid to Great Britain "even If 1t
means the sacrifice of some speed
in building up our own air fleet"
Coordination of American pre-
paredness with that of Canada;
Selection of the most exper-
fenced and the ablest men" for de-
tense posts, using the army and
navy's plans, and limiting the new
corners authority to the term OF
the emergency;
Revision of the tax system and
other steps ito remove every pos
sible obstacle that stands in the
way of new investment"
Economic cooperation with Latin
America, giving these neighbors
every incentive to rid themselves
of the German fifth column"
Willkie spoke from a low plat
form between the auditorium's
two big halls, both of which were
crowded to capacity.
