North Carolina was fortunate
in the number of able men and
worthy democrats who entered the

nation for governor. The first pri-
mar left Hon. ]. M. Broughton
and w. P. Horton as the lead
ing contenders, and now by his
own announcement Mr.. H r o n
leaves the nomination un~contested
to Mr.. Broughton. 1t evidently was
rot an easy decision to make, but
it will be generally accepted as a
patriotic and unselfish determina-
ton of this vital matter. Mr.. Hor-
ton would have made an admir-
able governor in every respect and
he retired with the admiration anc

MIR. Broughton is eminently
qualified to fill the high office o:
governor and his lead in the frs
primary Vas sufficiently command
ing to demonstrate his popularity
with the people of the state gen

elements in the party. Mr.. Brough

The Allied high command, in an
nouncing that II of the 250 to 800
attacking German planes were blast
ed out of the sunny June skies
around Paris, emphasized that the
count was still incomplete.
French flyers offered the nazi air
invaders numerous dogfights over
the capital and its environs.
The air ministry described the at,
tackers as advancing in a strong
column" which was engaged by
quickly rising French planes in
furious combat"
The German planes came in droves
over the capital just as Parisians
we're getting up from lunch.
The fighter-convoyed bombers
swarmed on the capital itself after
three weekend raids up and down
the rich Rhone valley as far south
as Marseille on the Mediterranean
coast of France. Prior to the raiS
on Paris, nazi planes attacked ships
in the Marseille harbor and killed 5t
and wounded more than 100 in the
first two weekend bombing waves
They also inflicted some 40 casual
ties ON the Lyon area in the third

Numerous inquiries have been re.
ceived by the navy department in
regard to the enlistment in the navy
of men with prison or juvenile po-
lice records. Il. L. Deloach, officer
in charge of the Wilmington dis
trict office of the naval recruiting
service, said yesterday.
Frank Knox, secretary of the navy,
has issued the following statement
of the navy departments policy in
connection with recruiting, Deloach
said:
TN order that the efficiency of
the navy be uninpaired, it is vital
that only young men Of the highest
type physically, mentally, and NOR
ally, be accepted for service. The
very close associations and contacts
necessitated by the service of young
men in vessels of the navy require
that all men be of unquestionable
character.
Thousands of young men are en-
listed in the navy each year and
the very high requirements are be-
ing stressed constantly. Parents,
school officials, ministers, and the
public in general are informed that
the associations met in the service
will be clean and honorable, and
this assurance, I believe, is directly
responsible for many parents con.
senting to the enlistment of their
sons.
"Out of consideration for the par
ents Of these fine men, many of
whom are at their most impression
able age, there "a be no lowering
of our high standards in the inter-
est of any one group or individual.
Further, in view of the fact that
many excellent boys who have es-
tablished their complete fitness for
enlistment have been turned away
each year because there + no va
cancies, I do not believe that il
would be sound policy to lower our
standards in any respect, no matter
how laudable our motives.
"In view of the above reasons 1

COMPENSATION OF Federal

dlvldual. The Public Salary Tax
Act of 1889 amended the internal
revenue code to include the sal
aries of all judges of the United

date they took office. This pro-
vision also includes Ill individuals
n the military or naval forces of
the United States.
The salaries and other compen-
'satlon of all employe es and Off
Gals OF a state or a political sub.
division thereof are now subject to
1eeeral income taxes, in the same
manner and to the same extent
as compensation received by any

This means that persons EN-.
ployed in any capacity by tn e
state, by the city, town, county,
Lard of education, township, dis
trlct or any other subdivision must
include in their gross income all
compensation of whatever nature,
and file an income tax return with

annually, provided, if tn individ.
ual is sir Gle, the gross annual in.
come exceeds $500. 90, and if the

income exceeds So, 600. 90.
1t is also noted that the public
salary tax act consents to the tax
alton, by the states, of the income
OF federal officers and employees.
The North Carolina Revenue Act
OF 1899 provides for the taxing of
all federal officials and employees,
including those in the military and
