MAPLE HILL FOLK
SEEK ROAD WORK
Delegation OF $50 To Wait
Or Governor, Graham
AT Raleigh Today

A delegation of approximately
$50 residents of the Maple Hill
section of Fender county will
appear before Gov. Cherry and
A. H. Graham, chairman Of the
State Highway and Public
Works commission, in Raleigh
Friday morning to request that
the remaining 26 miles of the
road between Burgaw and Jack
sonville be paved as soon as
possible.
In disclosing plans for pres
entation of their appeal, Murray
James, Wilmington attorney,
said yesterday that hard-sur-
facing of the road has been
sought for more than Is years.
Grading of the thoroughfare,
only one providing an outlet for
an estimated 1900 square miles
in northern Fender and western
Onslow counties, was completed
this year. Bids were then asked
for its paving and have been
rejected on two occasions by
the Highway commission, James
said.
It now appears, he added, that
the work will be put off until
next spring or summer, busiest
times of the year for the hun
dreds of farmers residing along
or near the route.
Almost impossible IN rainy
weather, the roads condition has
retarded the growth Of the sec
ton for many years, James said.
The request to the governor
and Highway commission chief
will be accompanied by a num-
Der of petitions signed by resi-
dents of the affected area.
Claiming they are the viz
tins of discrimination in SOM
parison with progress on the
farm-to-market road programs as
carried out in other parts of the
state, the signers demand action
toward hard surfacing the route
at the earliest possible date.
Leaders Of the movement to
have the road, known as N. c.
SO, paved are Sidney Lanie.
Robert Cowan and Arthur Woot-
en-, all of Maple Hill.

today its proposals for the United
Nations international police
force, suggesting a comparatively
weak striking force of II lane
divisions, 1900 aircraft and IS
or 80 warships.
The Soviet figures for the
UN's enforcement body, made

fell far short of United States
proposals and were slightly small,

estimates.
Russia notably failed to include
any battleships or aircraft car
ries in its proposals for the pro-
jected police force, which the
United Nations Security Council
could order into action to pre-
vent or turn back aggression.
The main force of the UN
navy, as envisiorled by Russia
would be five or six cruisers
They would be backed up by "a
destroyers, "a minesweepers, Il
summarizes and "a escort vessels
The 1900 planes of the Soviet
proposed air force would include
900 bombers, 800 fighters anc
800 other aircraft such as trans

End Of tuberculosis
In Generation Seen
Possible by Experts
By the Associated Press

With weapons recently acquired,
health experts say they could wipe
out tuberculosis within a genera
tion.
tuberculosis killed millions in the
last century. 1t remains the chief
cause of death among Americans
during the most productive years
of their Iives-15 to 40.
If it were wiped out, about $4,000
American lives would be saved each
year
Aside from humanitarian con-
siderations, the dollars and cents
saving in wages and cost of care
would be tremendous. The United
States Public Health Service reports
more than 100000 Americans be-
come infected each year and about
100000 develop active disease and
suffer long illness.
Decline in Deaths Leveling Out.
Great strides have been made
against tuberculosis since 1900. The
death rate now is only about one
fifth what it was then.
But in recent years the rate of
decline has slowed. Health service
records indicate that If the number
of cases had continued toward the
zero mark at the rate they were
declining in 1880 they virtually
would have reached zero this year.
DIR. Herman E. Hilleboe, assistant
surgeon general and an authority
on tuberculosis, says the weapons
to eliminate the disease have been
perfected in the last 10 years.
Experts of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co. agreed in recent
bulletin that with these weapons
and National program of attack
the disease can be extinguished
Three-Point Program Proposed.
Here is how DR.. Hilleboe says it
can be done:
Organize a Nation wide case find
ing program. Such programs al
ready have proved success in some
cities. Chicago is trying it on $780,
600 citizens.
Make arrangements to care for
victims.
Develop program for placing
the cured" patients-called ar
rested cases"-in jobs or in living
conditions that make it unlikely they
will be victims of the disease again
DR.. Hilleboe says that probably
the greatest development in control
ing it is the new high-speed x-ray
apparatus using small-sized film.
With this equipment the chests
of virtually the entire United States
adult population could be X-rayed
in a comparatively short time, ex-
perts say. And the cost probably
would be less than so cents person

adults have been x-rayed within
six weeks. From 500 to 1000 can
be examined daily by one machine
and TWO techniciarlS.
Time is big factor. When mass
x-rays are made, 1t is important
that results be known promptly, SO
that infectious people may be treat
ed. Under older methods, many
people X-rayed at the. start and
given a clean, bill of health were
infected by diseased persons before
the examination of the whole popu-
lation was completed.
The new x-ray system has been
tried with success in several places.
In st. Louis County, Minnesota, 1t
was tried in 1943. It uncovered
about three times as many cases as
doctors predicted. The death rate
dropped 40 per cent in two years.
The cost of initial examination was
about 25 cents per person.
The small film makes it possible
to use the equipment in laboratories
on wheels. These can be moved
from one part of city to another
or into farm areas where no such
equipment is available.

London Ilrongs Hail
Royal Family, Back
From African Tour
By The Assoeioted Press

LONDON, May 12.-Through flag
decked streets lined with cheering
thousands, Great Britain,s royal fam
fly returned to London from South
Africa today with ceremony and
splendor recalling the Kings coro-
nation exactly 10 years ago.
Crowds that began to gather at
daybreak occupied every foot OF the
mile-long route to Buckingham
Palace from bunting -draped Water
loo Station, where the royal family
was welcomed by Prime Minister
Attlee and other government leaders
at 1880 pm.
Apparently unwearied by their
civic reception at Portsmouth earlier
in the day. King George, Queen
Elizabeth and the two princesses
smiled and waved as they rode
through Whitehall In an open coach
drawn by gray horses with scarlet
clad postillions and a mounted police
escort.
High and Low Join in Welcome.
It was the capitals first sight OF
the royal family In three months,
and Londoners of high and low es-
tate joined in the welcome home.
The royal family disembarked
from the battleship Vanguard at
Portsmouth, climaxing their $4,000
mile South African tour.
King George, Queen Elizabeth
and the Princesses Elizabeth and
Margaret stepped ashore from a
gangway covered with scarlet cloth.
While the guns of naval vessels in
the harbor doomed royal salute
they were greeted on the quay by
the Kings brother, the Duke OF
Gloucester.
Before landing the King inspected
an honor guard OF Royal Marines.
Their majesties and the princesses
then bade the ships officers farewell
and were piped ashore. pausing a
moment on the dock to acknowl-
edge the cheers of the ships COM
pany.
Throng Crowds Sidewalks.
Although the weather was cloudy
the rain held off, and a throng
crowded the sidewalks 80 deep along
the route from the dockyard to
the Guildhall, where Lord Mayor
Councillor r. j. Wincott presented
the King with the keys to ancient
Portsmouth fortress In traditional
ceremony. Y
Crowds estimated at half a million
jammed the Portsmouth shore and
the adjacent resort at Southsea yes
terday when the vanguard nosed
into the harbor to the accompani-
ment of a royal salute of 81 guns.
1t was the first glimpse the royal
travellers had had of their homeland
since they departed for South Africa
on February /.
The 42,000-ton Vanguard. which
had crawled along for "a hours to
avoid arriving ahead of schedule,
was accompanied into the harbor by
other naval vessels and Sunderland
flying boats. When the huge ship
dropped anchor, seven torpedo boats
sped to welcome her
Before the battleship docked King
George thanked the crew for making
the voyage happy and comfortable. :"
He then ordered three extra days
added to their shore leave.
