Approximately $50 square miles il
OnsloW will be investigated.
Lieut.. Murphy is expected to sci
up an appraisal office in Baybore
later this week. The survey fol
the proposed air base is being
made at the mouth of the Neuse
river, about seven miles southwest
of Oriental.
Marines Favored
1t was learned via telephone
from Washington, D. c., and New
Bern yesterday that the survey
work is already under way. A Ma.
rine corps official in Washington
said that a site near Marines ir
OnsloW county is still favored as
the Marine base site, if and when
1t is authorized.
Leslie N. Boney, Wilmington
architect, is assisting with the pre-.
liminary work in the Neuse river
area. He conferred with Marine
corps officials in Washington over
the weekend in regards to the
project. The proposed air base
would be for amphibian planes,
small boats and combat planes.
In confirming the report of work
being done around the Neuse river
area, the spokesman of the Marine
corps in Washington yesterday
pointed out that all plans for the
establishment of a base at Marines
and Of an air base On Neuse river
to be operated in conjunction with
it are tentative and as yet without
approval or authorization.
For some time, however, it has
been known the Marine corps has
been interested in establishing a
Marine base at or near Marines,
where some so, 900 Marines woulc
be stationed at a base to cost an
estimated $50, 900, 600.
Air activities al that point, how
ever, it has been pointed out,
would not be particularly desirable
because of the proximity of the
anti-aircraft firing base at Camp
Davis, but a few miles removed
from Marines. 3

DIR. T. w. NJ. LONG

GARYSBURG, N. c., Feb. SIP,
DR.. 7. w. NJ. Long, state senator
from Halifax county and author OF
several health laws, was buried with
Episcopal services today in a country
church yard near this Northampton
county village.
Tie 55-year-old physician died Mon
day night in Raleigh of heart trouble.
Although he had experienced a slight
attack the week before, he had regu-
larly attended sessions of the general
assembly.
During the 1889 session DR.. Long
sponsored three measures which
health authorities said placed North
Carolina among the leading states in
the sphere of health laws. The
measures required persons wishing
to be married to pass health tests,
all %expectant mothers to take blood
tests for syphilis and all children to
be immunized against diphtheria.
The rites were conducted today by

ing many legislators, attended.

desired a two room apartment In
Wilmington and asked the minister
to secure such an apartment and
to wire him. Presumably this Of
ficer was seeking to come to Will
mington because he had been in
formed that no Accommodations
could be had in Fayetteville or in
the immediate vicinity of Fort
Bragg. This pastors wife made
some inquiries and tried to locate
one individual who had a two room
apartment but that individual
wanted S125. 900 a month for two
rooms. This is just an illustration,
a rare illustration let us hope, OF
what the ministers had in mind.
If such a spirit as this prevails in
Wilmington, Wilmington will soon
be deprived of the opportunity to
enjoy a proper and legitimate i'm
petus in her business life.
AN Illustration of the opposite
kind is this: Yesterday morning a
gentleman telephoned me to COM
mend the action of the ministers
association and saying that he has
two cottages which have been va
cant but that he has now rented
them without one dime of increase
in price, and that he has assured
the tenants that there will be no
increase. That citizen evidently has
both character and sense. These
are two things demanded right
now in Wilmington"
at seems to me that every far
sighted, not to say patriotic, citi-
zen will prohibit against all kinds
of profteering and will strive to
keep prices where they ought to
be, 3

BARTON EXPLAINS
MINISTER'S STAND

ministers of Wilmington in their
protest against unreasonable and
uniustifiable increase in prices OF
rents, merchandise, and other
services, have no thought of OPP
posing legitimate business or even
of ~condemning such reasonable
and legitimate increases in prices
as may be inevitable and incident
to the greatly increased volumne
of business in the community. I
speak for myself, alone, and yet
1 believe I know and understand
the attitude of the ministers of the
city.
1T appears that some people
have been placing a wrong inter-
probation on the action Of the Will
mington Ministerial Association
and are inclined to be critical to-
ward the ministers and their &C
ton. No thoughtful or sensible per-
son in Wilmington would think for
a moment that the ministers are
not sympathetic towards hotels,
merchants, landlords, or any
others who render services to the
community and to newly come citi-
zens and visitors in particular.
Ministers will rejoice in acceler-
ated business and business pros
perity coming to the community;
however, much they deplore the
tragic world conditions out of
which this increase of business
comes. But the ministers as good
citizens, will protest against unfair
and unjustifiable increase of prices
commonly known as profiteering
Here is one example which
came under my observation only
yesterday since the ministers took
the action. An officer in the U. S
Army, in the far west probably c
chaplain, wired a pastor in thi:
city saying that he had been as
signed to Fort Bragg and that he
