RALEIGH, July 6-RHW. K.
Beichler, chief of State Forest
Fire Control, said today the "Sit-
uation continues to be dangerous"
in reference to forest fires now
mainly confined to areas near
New Bern and in the Great Dismal
swamp.
Beichler said route 10 between
New Bern and Morehead City,
which had been partially closed
on account of dense smoke, was
now reopened. Buses resumed
travel this morning after not pass
ing for about twelve hours.
Fires in the New Bern area,
Beichler said, were chiefly under
protection of the U. S. Forest
Service and were being fought by
that organization with the assist
ant of Marines from Cherry Point.
Firefighting activities north of
Elizabeth City, he said, were in
charge of District Ranger R. D.
Wise of Elizabeth City, assisted
by Forest Inspector P. W. Tillman
of the Raleigh Office. Beichler
said fires in this area were very
difficult to control due to extreme
ly dry heat soil and continuous
high winds.
Beich1er also said origin of sew
eral Dismal Swamp area fires
were being investigated because
they appear to be of incendiary
origin"

The Army Air Forces wartime

punishment enough to put an END

the operation of local juke joints
and night spots, where men and

and subsequently become involved
in fights and affrays. There is a
