against the proposed extension of

l. Prior to the instruction, Leon
Pretzfelder's motion indorsing sale
of alcoholic beverages between mid

David Babp association member
and secretary of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, expressed the
opinion that any motorist arrested
for driving at speed of more than
20 miles per hour over the speed
limit should be charged with reck-
less driving, fined the maximum, and
imprisoned for not less than 10 days.
Mr.. Babp said excess speed was the
cause of most traffic fatalities.
The association voted $40 to the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club, S.

APPEAL
REFUSED BY COURT

against interstate commerce and
had been sustained by the Iowa
supreme court.
Browder, Kansas-born secretary
and presidential candidate Of the
communist party, was alleged to
have sworn falsely, when applying
for a passport in 1894, that he had
not previously received one. Ac-
tually, the government charged,
Browder had obtained passports
under the names of Nicholas Doz-
enberg in 1921, George Morris in
1927 and Albert Henry Richards
in 1881.
The statute of limitations barred
his prosecution on a charge of
obtaining a passport by a false
statement. Instead he was tried
and convicted under a section OF
the passport law making it a crime
to ''willfully and knowingly use
any passport the issue OF
which was secured in any way by
reason of any false statement" /

heen of great value to the commune
ty. To call a halt to this construc-
tive work, at this juncture, would,
in the opinion Of the Commission,
not only result in the loss of the
goodwill and business acquired, but
would, we fear, be construed as a pro-
found lack of faith or our part in
the possibilities of Wilmington as
a port. We do not presume to say
that some agency, other than the
Port Commission, might not better
carry on this work; that it's for your
body to determine, but We do say
unhesitatingly that this work should
be continued through some agency
established by you. If this is to be
done, it is essential that action be
taken at once to the end that legis-
lation may be passed at the present
session Of he North Carolina legis-
lature enabling the people of the
county to determine whether they
want this work carried on.
We are unable to say just when
the present plans for public ter
minals and tobacco warehouses will
be carried to a conclusion, one way
or another. 1t is believed, however,
that the application now with the
RIG. should be vigorously follow
ed from every possible angle with
the end in view of obtaining the
loan sought. Should the application
eventually go through, the work
which has been done by the Port
Commission must necessarily be car
ried on by some agency. Contacts
that have been made, out of which
we now have strong support, cannot
be severed without loss Of valuable
ground which has been gained.
With important matters still pend
ing, we believe that this work, still
incomplete, and which may require
time we'll beyond the present statu-
tory limitation of the existing set
up, should be continued. We believe
that the present law or nj substan-
TALLY similar to it should be enacted
for a period of at least two years
more, so that present or other plans
car be carried to a favorable con
clusion.
In the face Of difficulties inner
emit in an entirely new work, aimed
at diverting business from establish
ed competitors already in the field,
we believe it has been shown con-
clusively that the shippers and in
dustrialists of North Carolina will
use the Port of Wilmington If its
advantages are kept constantly be-
fore them To abandon the work now
would, in the opinion of the Commits
sion, mean not only the loss of the
money already spent but would be
a public admission that the senti'
ments expressed in the letters quoted
earlier in this report by men from
various sections of the state are not
shared by the people of this COM
munity.
