CHERRY DEFENDS
STAND ON FOODS
Conservation Progra
Passes Up Egg-Less Thurs
days: Aids Stands

RALEIGH, Nov. 3-P>-Gov-
ernor Cherry today defended his
action in approving a food con-
servation program which con-
flicts with President Truman's
program by passing up egg-less
Thursdays and permitting ham,
burger and hotdog stands to ig-
more meatless Tuesdays.
The program was presented to
the Governor last Saturday by
the Public Food Service commit
tee of the state nutrition commit
tee, and the Governor said that
he approved it with the under
standing that alterations may be
made from time to time to meet
changing conditions.
The governor said today that
he thought the plan was "about
as good as can be worked out"
and that if 1--WE can make the
plan work we will be doing re-
markably we'll"
On the proposal that hamburg
er and hotdog stands not be re-
quired to observe meatless Tues
days, the governor said that 1--WE
can't shut them down alto
gether," and that 'some of them
would find a way to get around
it if we insisted they not serve
meats" :"
The governor also defended the
proposal to ignore eggless Thurs
days, pointing out that the food
committee had said: "We be-
lieve that it would be feasible
to continue to serve eggs for
breakfast on the eggless day with
the understanding that all indus
tries cooperate throughout the
week in the conservation of eggs
Iby substituting on their menus
as many items as possible for the
usual egg Dishes"

PRIVATE SCHOOLS AFTER

PRIVATE SCHOOLS AFTER
THE WAR-A school for girls
was conducted by Misses
Burr and James, in Whining
ton, before the War be-
tween the States and was reopen
ed again after the war. The wife
of General Robert Ransom also
conducted a finishing school for
girls here after the war, while
General Colston for years had
charge of military academy in
Wilmington.
In October of 1842, the Odd
Fellows lodge opened a school
under the direction Of Robert
Mclaughlin, of Baltimore, as
principal. The school flourished
for many years, and Mclaughlin
was succeeded by Levin Megin-
ney, who purchased the building
at Fourth and Princes streets. Me-
ginney conducted his own school
in the building for several years,
and eventually the school was
occupied by the Cape Fear acad-
emy. Professor Washington Cat
lett was principal of the academy.
In 1927 the old building was torn
down and the site is still vacant.

TOBACCO PRICES

house Floors
BY The Associated PrSS

Although buyers for one of
the principal export firms were
not on the markets yesterday
as selling Of flue-cured tobacco
was resumed after a sales holi-
day, the federal and state de-
partments of agriculture report
ed that prices held compara-
lively steady.
Slightly stronger demand for
most grades was reported from
the Old Belt, but the Eastern
and Middle Belts reported that
price gains and losses were
about evenly divided.
It was the first sales day for
the markets since last Tuesday
when they were closed so that
action could be taken to remedy
the situation created by an
nouncement Of the British gov
ernment that it was banning i'm
ports of American tobacco.
While the markets were
closed, a plan was arranged un-
der which British buying firms
would continue buying tobacco
with their purchases going to
the Federal Commodity Credit
corporation.
However, Fred S. Royster of
Henderson, chairman OF the
flue-cured marketing COM
mittee. said that he understood
that buyers for the Imperial
tobacco company were not on
the markets yesterday.

LEGION ENDORSES
HOLLYWOOD PROBE
N ational Commander
O'Neil Says Veterans
Favor Outlawing Reds

MANCHESTER, N. H., Nov.
3 -R-Janes F. O'Neil, nation
al commander of the American
Legion, said tonight the Legion
favors outlawing the Commu-
mist party in this country and
stands "resolutely" behind the
recent Congressional investiga-
ton of Reds in Hollywood.
O'Neil said in a speech pre-
pared for broadcast over ABC
that efforts are being made to
abolish the House committee on
Un-American Activities on t h e
ground that it is doing ga dis
graceful job"
But he declared the Legion
not only endorses the Hous e
groups procedures but will
battle to the limit any endeavor
aimed at dissolving this instru-
ment of and agent for
the American people"
GAS the only Congressional
body devoted to combating
subservise elements, we believe
the country can ill afford to lose
its services" he said.
No Halfway Measure
Asserting that the Communist
party ''bears allegiance to a
foreign power and is dedicated
to deceit and violence to attain
it's ends," O'Neil continued:
"The American Legion does
not believe there are any half
way measures in dealing with
Communism. Communists have
captured eight governments in
Europe - without the popular
consent of those hapless states
and are reaching out for two
more.
"It is the hope of the Ameri-
can Legion that those earnest
but misguided critics of the
(House) committee who argue
for privileges for Communists
will champion with equal ener-
gies the rights of Americans to
protect themselves from a for.
eign threat"
