Lands Signs Report Reco.
amending 1000 Feet
In Mountain Areas

WASHINGTON, July 7. -U.H- A
special Presidential air safety in
vestigation board recommended to-
day that, effective Immediately, all
aircraft operating at night under
instrument conditions, be required
to fly at least 1000 feet above
mountainous terrain and 1000 feet
above "characteristically level
territory.
The board, established by Presi-
dent Truman last month after LAG
persons died in air crashes in New
York, Maryland and West Virginia,
stipulated that the 2,000-foot rule
should be established in the Rocky
mountain area of the West, the Ap-
palachian area of the East and in
other specified mountainous areas.
The board said the present 1000
foot level for daylight flying in
level areas could be continued.
The report was signed by James
M. Lands, chairman of the group
who also is chairman of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority.
He wrote the President that that
part of the United States generally
West of the 104th meridian and in
the area of the Appalachian mount
aims in the Eastern United States
should especially be covered by
the 2,O00-foot rule.
The board also recommended that
all scheduled air transports be re-
quired to install, as soon as pos
sible, approved terrain proximity
indicators operating on electronic
principles as a secondary aid to
aneroid altimeters now required on
all planes.
Lands said these devices were
inexpensive and r now available
or will be shortly.
The proximity indicator warns

TWO MEN UNCOVER
T0PSAIL MYSTERY.
Possibility OF Drowning In
Inlet Monday Advance
ed By Fishermen

There is a strong possibility that
one or two men may have been
drowned in the surf off Topsail
Inlet about 3 o'clock Monday
morning. However, New Hanover
and Fender county authorities
have not been notified that any
person or persons are missing.
Leon Lee and Roland Watts,
Spofford Mill workers, told the
Star last night that while they we're
fishing on a shpal near the Inlet
Monday morning they sighted a
small white boat that contained
lone man for sure and maybe
two" in the inlet.
"TAe boat was bobbing in the
water and someone on board was
waving a lantern, possibly Try ing
to send some kind of distress sig
nal," Lee said.
The mill worker said that he
and Watts noticed the small white
boat in the inlet and said that it
kept going further out into the
inlet. when 1t reached the break

Cherry said tonight that eff flue-
cured tobacco growers expect tc
continue sales of large quantities

The referendum, which was au-

cents per acre of tobacco to carry

tobacco exports. A favorable vote
Of two-thirds of those casting
ballots will be necessary to put
the program in effect.
Facing Crisis
"Right now we are facing a
crisis in our export market" the
governor said in a radio broad

NURSES RECEIVE
DIPLOMAS, PINS
Twenty-F F Graduates OF
James Walker School
Hear Timely Address

twenty-five nurses of the James
Walker Memorial hospital Schoo:
of Nursing last night received
diplomas and heard Miss Florence
K. Wilson, dean of nursing, Duke
University, graduation speaker,
cite the needs of nursing in the
state.
John W. Rankin, superintendent
of the hospital, presided at the
ceremonies at New Hanover High
school and introduced the speaker,
who asked the students to look
back to the time they entered the
nursing school and recall the en-
thusiam they had.
"You can't serve humanity
through any better cause thar
through nursing" she told the
class which was divided into two
groups-those who finished the
school last winter and those who
will finish in September.
She told of the commission tt
study health needs in the state
and said there were indications
that there will be a great impetus
to nursing within the next few
years.
Greatest Need
The speaker noted that nurses
were the greatest need for the
health program in the state ane

CONTROVERSY-Ever so often
this column receives a letter from
a person who disagrees with some
of the events recorded in previous
write-ups.
Most of those who believe or re
member facts contrary to those
set forth here sign their names tc
their letters. They tell what they
base their beliefs on and offer an
explanation on how they arrived
at their conclusions.
But not so with n person who
signs himself, A. P. Reader. A
check of the phone and city diree-
tories shows no A. P. Readers.
In fact they show no Reader. So
apparently it must be a fictitious
name coined by some local genius.
Perhaps it means Associated
Press Reader. A Practical Reader
or a Piqued Reader. It doesn't
matter.

Then the engineers can ask ad-

to tide them over until July l,
when they will get their appro-
