 Things look pretty bad, don't they Dad" he said T thought that when the war was over everything would be pretty wonderful"
 Stevens expected to see his Texas-born bride in her Bridge port jail later today, to discuss the incidents that led to her staying of 19-year-old Albert Kovacs, sub- marine sailor from South Norwalk, Conn.
 Stevens expected to consult with his wife's lawyer, David Goldstein, before meeting the sloe-eyed girl he lived with only eight days be- fore going overseas with a para troop unit.
 In her cell, nervously impatient for the arrival of "Georgie," Mrs. Stevens pressed her navy-blue party dress for the fifth time and for the first time since she was charged with manslaughter. She omitted writing to her husband.

 Meanwhile, Mrs. Stevens's att torney, David Goldstein, said an insurance company worker was Investigating angles of the case here, in Darien and in South Nor- walkwalk. Koyacs lived in South Norwalk.
 The submarine sailor was killed in the home of Charles Milton, neighbor of Mrs. Stevens, after the former Texas belle had accosted him and his brother there and charged them with being burglars. James Kovacs, 2S, said he and his brother were calling on a girl who worked for the Miltons

Manteo's Pageant

No sooner had the wal ended than
M4nteo began planning Tor revival
g., The Lost Colony pageant ncHt

go-gctter which succeeds. It did

We hope the great historic drama
comes back n 1916. Aside from its
owl merit as one of the outstanding
stage productions ever produced. j,
was one Of the best advertising
media North Carolina ever possessed.

country, Its setting, on the very spot
where was made the history II de-
p.cts, embOdies much of the romance
and e~nchantment OF the early days
Of civilization on ithi5 c.tinent.
The annual presentation at Manteo
taught North C|arolInians more about
their early history than they bad
ever acquired from history books in
school or college.
Then, too, Manteo and Roanoke

to visit, Hospitality Of the people OF

idea Of being among strangers.
one of the moving spirits Of the
former days Of the pageant, genial
old Bradford Fearing, will be miss
ing when the show goes on again
in 1916. His death two years ago
removed a genius in good will. His
place will not be easy to fill, but
ManteO viii find a successor. Too,
Paul Greco, author of the drama,
will improve upon his original crca-
ton.
All in all, there is every reason
to suppose that the new version Will
be the best ever. After a lapse of
five years, The Lost Colony is COM
ing back. We can hardly wait for
the opportunity to get down there
for the treat that Will be in store.

IF a city can stop all aircraft or

can prevent the atomic bomb from

that it is an atomic bomb that is

DR.. Bush said antiaircraft defenses
should not be overlooked in future

under way in Germany, he said, that
might have stopped American mass
