Editorial
THIS HIGHWAY BUSINESS

IF we had one wish that would be car,
Rod ont inst as sure as the sun Will
rise tomorrow, it would be just thls'
We wish that the members OF the STATE
HIGHWAY Commission would be forceo
TO ride the sand pit called the PireWay
Road every day in the week, for %
weeks forever or until some one LUZ
fills a promise and paves 1t.
For Is wears citizens of Tabor City
have yelled, screamed, pulled and push
ed every conceivable way to get top
nut on the road running from PlreWay
to Tabor City, frcm Chadbourn to Ia
Dor City and from Fair Bluff to TABOR
CITY. It's needless to say that there
isn't any top on any OF, them right now.
Those extra squeaks and rattles IN eV-
erv farmers automobile living on those
three roads are proof enough OF that.
Yet, every time a movement Is put
forth to Get something done III tins
respect, the same answer Is almost al
WAYS hard, "Ies, certainly we Will get
that done lust as soon as we can. we
eypect to start in few weeks. You
will certainly have that road paved be-
fore the summer is past" or some 9TH
er such tommy rot that commissioners
never had any intention of carrying out
in the first place.
Petitions have been signed and met
with fatal deaths in that circular file
called a waste basket much too often.
Roads in Columbus county continue to
get some pavement on them occasionally
but not leading into Tabor City. Com
misSioners seem to have mania against
doing anything that might benefit the
business and farmers of the Tabor City
area
Yet, Tabor City carries on twice the
business that any other town Of equal
size carries on in this entire section of
the State. Farmers have to haul their
produce for miles over roads that the
Indians would have abandoned as I'M
fit for travel. Every rain makes them
pig wallow with holes half knee deep,
so close together that caterpillar
tractor would have difficulty getting
anywhere.
The situation needs some man hand
ling. There is no excuse for all roads
running into Tabor City being like they
were when North Carolina was first
settled There should be some concert
ed efforts put forth by everyone and
continued until some results are shown.
We are mighty glad to see the work
going on now on the Fair Bluff road, at
the other end, but would like to see the
project made complete by joining our
two communities with hard surfaced
road.

Montgomery Builders
To Testify Friday on
Subdivision Road Plan

Montgomery County builders and
developers today were preparing to
present arguments at a public hear
ing before the county commissioners
at 230 pm. Friday in the Rockville
Courthouse on proposed resolution
setting up minimum standards for
road construction in new subdivi-
sions.
The hearing originally was sched-
uled yesterday but was continued
by the board at the request of D. E.
Gingery. president of the County
Home Builders Association. The
resolution was presented to the
commissioners last week by County
Supervisor Willard F. Day
Mr.. Gingery said the associations S
attorney, Albert E. Brault, was out
Of town and that his group would
like additional time to study the
proposal so that all phases of the
question could be taken up at a
special meeting of the board.
The board took under advisement
a request by Police Chief H. Leslie
Carlin for the appointment of six
additional patrolmen and one more
desk clerk Mr.. Day said such a
move would cost $4,000 and that
an additional $4,000 must be ap-
propriated to maintain the police
force at its present strength.
County Engineer Paul Kerth was
authorized to advertise for bids on
two road improvement projects.
One called for the construction of
855 feet of concrete curbs and cutters
on Queen Anne's drive in McNeill's
subdivision, Silver Spring, at an
estimated cost of 81 874.
The other project called for con-
struction OF concrete curbs and
cutters and concrete driveways on
Ridge drive from Broad street to
Virginia place and on Sixty first,
Sixty second, Sixty-third and Sixty
fourth streets, Maryland avenue and
Virginia place, Brookmont, at an
estimated cost of sl5.367. The
assessable frontage affected is $3.50
feet

dian to consumate the deal. The
customer would be given his set of
the papers, but he could not close
the deal he said. until a regional
office employe had taken neces-
sary additional set of papers to the
warehouse or depot.
Among the new data introduced
yesterday were stories of brokers
who gained allocatiohs for surplus
supplies despite technical errors in
bidding. and of at least one in
stance of a, brokers' agent paying
a hotel and drinking party bill for
a minor Government official con-
nected with surplus materials allo-
cations
The glamorous phase of the story
was told late yesterday, under COM
mittee questioning. by embarrassed
but unresisting Lucian c. Sneed.
former hardware sales manager of
the Philadelphia WAA office.
Fields Agent in Party.
He told of being assigned to 60

the surplus property depot at Rich
mond, Va, June "a, to determine
If there were large quantities of
nails there that should be unfrozen
and sold. Unexpectedly, so far as
he was concerned. he said, the in
spection party included Mr.. Dies.
The group found no such nail sur
pluses at Richmond, but the trip
ended with Mr.. Sneed being driven
to Washington, provided a room
at the Shorehsm Hotel. meals, more
drinks than he wanted and a party
attended by girls, for total bill of
S46,8S, the committee was told. All
these latter affairs, he testified. we're
at the suggestion and expense Of
Mr., Dies. as Fields agent.
The next morning he sought to
pay his bills. he said but was told
at the hotel desk that everything
Is taken care Of" by the Fields office.
He said he felt entirely innocent" d"
he didn't know Dies was arranging
to pa7 his bills: that he had not
had more than -four or five" of the
80 drinks the bills show were or
dered.

Meeting Fields the next day. he
said, the promoter told him he had
a Job in mind for him. Mr.. Sneed,
who was suspended from his WAA
post last week, after the House
investigation was started. said Fields
was vague about what the Job would
be or when it would be open for him,
but 1t had to do with franchises in
cities over the country.
