ONsLOW

JACKSONVILLE, May 13-
Property in Onslow county is
valued at SIG, 377, $50 for tax
alton purposes as a result of
the recent revaluatior. 1t was
announced today by County
Auditor ]. j. Cole.
The 1947 valuation is a 40.14
per cent increase over the
1916 valuation of $11, 686, 345
and compares with a valuation
of So, 800, 265 in 1871 and a val
uation of $7,569 in 1912.
Cole pointed out that the
taxation value is only about so
per cent of the . actual worth
of the property, which would
put the actual property value
in the county at approximate
ly 33 million dollars.
The 1947 valuation was the
first complete revaluation in
the county since 1881 although
allowances had been made
through the years for improve
ments.
In 1888, a horizontal >reduc-
ton of 80 IL per cent went
into effect and in 1912, the
huge government land pur-
chase for Camp Lejeune reser-
walton took a big bite out OF
taxable property,
Richards township, the only
one of the five county divisions
untouched by the Camp Lee
jeune reservation, was the only
one which showed an increase
in valuation in 1912 over the
1941 valuation.

To Be Given 10 Greece.
By the Associoted Press

ATHENS, Aug. Rear Admiral
John A. Snackenberg, chief naval
attache OF the American aid
Greece" mission, said yesterday he
expected an agreement to be con-
cluded within week for transfer
OF six American patrol boats to the
Greek Navy-the first request re-
ceived from the navy under the aid
program.
The vessels, of approximately $50
tons each, are less than three years
old, Admiral Snackenberg said, add
ing that the naval division of the
aid mission was surveying and pro-
cessing Greek Navy statements of
material requirements for the COM
ing year under the S12,0O0,0OO al
loted for naval needs.
These requirements, the admiral
said, included machinery, spare
parts, fuel, medical supplies, gen.
eral stores and technical equipment.
Dwight Griswold, head of the mis-
sion, told American newsmen yes
terday that experts working in
liaison with Greek ministries and
government organizations would not
be limited to advisory functions but
would serve as administrators.
Greek press reports said the Greek
government was objecting to this,
desiring the experts to serve only
as consultants.
Guerrilla fighting continued in
Northern Greece.

Arrangements Completed
For Cashinq Of GI Bonds

The Treasury announced today 1t
has completed arrangements with
banks throughout the country to
cash GI terminal leave pay bonds
beginning September 2.
Procedure for cashing the more
than 100000 bonds aggregating
more than $4,000 100000 that have
been issued, will be roughly the same
as banks have set up to cash Gov
ernment savings bonds.
Besides principal value of the
bonds, veterans can draw 21a per
cent interest for as long as they
have held the bonds. The interest
rate was set on five-year maturity
basis. Veterans who want to keep
the bonds until their maturity may
do so.
Treasury officials, however, es-
timated that veterans will turn in
from $1,00O,00O,0 900 to $500, 900, 900
worth of the bonds in the first rush
to the banks.
The department cautioned banks
against cashing bonds for any one
other than the person whose name
is inscribed on the bond. It asked
that banks require presentation of
original discharge or separation
papers as identification.

Sweeping New Gains

Virtually the entire population of

anticipation of word whether the
| U. N. Security Council would decide
to take a hand. In one old white
walled house, half dozen still loyal
Republican Indonesians this after
noon sat around radio near which
they had huddled since early

The almost universal Dutch re-
action was that the Indonesian war

intervention before continuing Dutch

key South Java port of Tjilatjap,
and occupied Poerwaredja, some 10

A Republican communique moni-

British and French
Discuss Deal 10 End
Jews Ship Sitdown
By the Associoted Press

PORT-DE-BOUC. France, Aug. 1.
British and French authorities
weye reported today to be discussing
deal whereby 4,500 Jewish refugees
would be guaranteed high priority
rating in Palestine immigration
quotas if they disembark at once
from the three British ships on
which they are staging a sitdown off
this port.
British officials were said to be
seeking Frances joint participation
in such guarantee in order to give
1t more weight with the refugees,
who were intercepted three weeks
ago trying to slip into Palestine
aboard a vessel they had named
Exodus of 1947" The refugees
sailed for Palestine from Sete,
France.
The attitude of the French gov
ernment, which has arranged ac-
commodations for the Jews ashore
but which has refrained from trying
to impose a course of action upon
them, was not known here.
Gn London an authoritative
source said the Jews would be
taken by force" to Hamburg If
they refused to go ashore any,
where but Palestine. After that,
the source said, they would be
resettled in some other British
controlled area - possibly in
Africa" Three hundred Jews de-
ported from Palestine several
months ago were settled in
KenyaD
Thus far, only about 60 OF the
refugees have landed here since the
vessels arrived off Port-de-Bouc
Tuesday. Many of these consented
to go ashore only because they
needed medical treatment.
Approximately 10 tons OF relief
supplies donated by American Jews
have been sent aboard the three
ships since their arrival, and DR..
Joseph j. Schwartz Qt New York,
chairman of the American Joint Dis
tribution Committee, said in Paris
that his organization would continue
to supply the vessels as long as they
remained in French waters.

u. 5. Housing Agency
Gets 3'Protests on
3,147 Rent Raises

Only three protests against rent
revisions on 3,147 dwelling units in
10 public housing developments op-
Grated by the National Capital Hous-
ing Authority had been received up
to today, according to an NCHA
spokesman.
Under a revised schedule effective
September 1, rents of 81 per cent of
eligible tenants were raised, rents
of % per cent were decreased and
in 20 per cent of the cases there was
no change.
In addition, rents of $50 tenants
ineligible for continued occupancy
because the total family income ex-
ceedS $4,000 yearly-were boosted to
comparable rates for privately owned
dwellings.
Among the $50 were Is families
who received rent increases of 100
per cent-from $50 to s78 monthly
for a four-bedroom house, the
spokesman said today. These 16
had an average family income OF
$4,224.
Rent boosts for over-income fami-
lies were designed to encourage these
families to move out to make way
for low-income families for which
the public housing was built, NCHA
said.
The NCHA spokesman said that
of the three protests received on the
revised rent schedule only one was
against the increase itself. The
other two, he said, protested that
mistakes had been made-one that
he was being charged for larger
quarters than he occupied, and the
other contesting NCHA's computa-
ton of his annual earnings. Inves-
tigation will be made in both these
cases, he said.
Rents on the 10 permanent low
income projects operated by NCHA
are determined on the basis of the
combined income of all members of
the family.

However, Juan Trippe and Sen

bill called the community airline

need TWA in order to put their
community airplane bill through
Congress and make it law.
They could shove it down the
throats of the other overseas air

on their team.

has the biggest airline in the world,
