WALLACE NEAR
P0UNDACE MARK
Weed Sales Season Ends
Thursday; More Than A.
100000 Pounds Sold

WALACT, Nov. 7-Walace was
just 363,4O4 pounds away from its
tobacco sales goal for the year
tonight, John Skies, sales super
visor, reported.
With five more sales days left
of the 1947 marketing season
tomorrow and Monday through
Thursday the market had
|rung up a total for the year of
1885, 500 pounds.
Today's sales amounted to 116,
692 pounds which brought farm
ers $45, 968.25.
Warehousemen Rack Rackley,
Bill Hussey, and Oscar Blan-
chard, sales line leaders, were
hopeful that the remaining less
than 100000 pounds would come
in to put the market over the
top. They said they r making
every effort to make the final
five sales banner ones and they
have urged farmers everywhere
to bring their tobacco on here.
Opinion here is that the $4,000,
900 pound mark will be reached
if tobacco remaining in the area
is ready for sales by Thursday.
Several farmers are still in the
process of preparing their tobac-
co for market.
Meanwhile today's marke t
brought about a $50 per hundred
averages to Vauge Mcready, of
the Chinquapin section of Duplin
county, for 1900 pounds of to-
bacco. Mcready's average was
one of the many good ones that
have been clicked in here this
year.
In addition to topping all pre-
vious seasons for number of
pounds sold, Wallace also stands
at the top of Eastern North Caro-
line belt market in price aver

FBI Probe Thefts From Los AlamOs Atomic Project

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. (P)- Federal agents who have been probing thefts of confidential mat ter from the Los Alamos atomic project nabbed two more suspects yesterday, and at the same time revealed the investigation also has covered a highly secret weapons project outside Albuquerque.
 Complaints filed immediately after the simultaneous arrests 05 miles apart in New Mexico, accus- ed George Wellington Thompson, 38, formerly of Greenwood, Miss, of taking classified photographs from both the army's Sandia base here and the atom laboratory; and Ernest Lawrence Paporello, 29, formerly of Union City, N. J., of stealing half a dozen Los Alamos pictures.
 The two were identified by the FBI as former army photograph CTS at Los Alamos, where the first atom bomb was assembled. Af- ter his discharge Thompson was a civil service employee at Sandia. Arraigned in Santa Fe, Thomp. son pleaded guilty to the Los Al amos thefts but denied taking any photos from the base here.
 Paporello's hearing in Albu- querque was continued until next Monday, allowing him time to en- gage counsel.
 Bonds of both were fixed at $10,000. Thompson was held in the Santa Fe city jail, where FBI said a doctor attended him for nervous indigestion shortly after his arrest. Paporello was lodged in the county jail here. His at torney said he expected to arrange bond today.

US. Should Make Alaska A Real
 Fortress Defense

WASHINGTON, (P)-Represen- tative Dawson R-Utah) said today it is absolutely imperative" that the United States spend more mon ey for defenses in Alaske and make it "a real fortress.
 "If Russia should attack us it would be through Alaska" DaW- son told a reporter. 'I think we should spend less money in help ing Europe and more in building impregnable defenses in the Ter ritory."
 Dawson, just back from hear ings in Alaska on granting state hood to the Territory, told a re- porter he does not believe the area is ready to become a state from a financial standpoint.
 He added, however, he was more in favor of statehood than before he visited the Territory with a House public lands sub- committee.
 "I haven't definitely made ur my mind but Alaska should ev- entually be given statehood" Daw. son said.
 "The majority of the people want it and when we bring ur the question of their financial ab- ility to support statehood they ask why we don't let them worry about that.
 And, they may be right"
 He said other members of the committee were more in favor of immediate statehood.

Krug is Charged Governing For
 Coverning's sake

CORDOVA, Alaska, (P)-Fish- cries are virtually the entire ec- onomy of this and other Alaska area" the CIO-Cordova district fisheries union said yesterday in protesting the interior department management of Alaska fisheries at a fisheries regulation hearing.
 In a formal statement, the union, with a membership of 1,080, said that better enforcement against fisheries violations would build up the runs. Seton H. Thomp- son, chief of the Alaska division of the fish and wildlife service, presided.
 The statement said that secre- tary Krug, in supporting the sen- ate bill 1446 prepared by his de- partment to set up a leasing sys- tenn for fish traps, was govern ing only for governing sake"
 The secretary's letter with which he transmitted the bill to the sen ate, the union charged, "disowns any interest in the social and ec- onomic aspects" of the fisheries industry and indicates that "con- servation is his only concern"
 "Why have hearings at all, un- less there is material and prac- tical application of regulations to benefit the people of the Terri tory?" The statement asked. It pointed out that the last territor- ial legislature memorialized con- gress to hold up the bill pending

Navy Ram-Jet Goes Over HOO M.P.H.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, (P)-Unit- ed States Navy ram-jet engine tests have recorded speeds in ex- cess of l,400 miles an hour, of ficialS who could not be named acknowledged today in comment ing on British estimates that one of their engines reached 900 miles an hour in a drop test.
 If the British plane represents their highest achievement to date they are behind the Navy and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which now has under way an extensive drop test program with the ram-jet engines, with speeds expected to reach up to 2,000 miles an hour.
 In its only test thus far, using 1 the least powerful of the several sizes of ram-jet engines built or designed for the purpose, the test hit a measured speed of nearly one and a half times the speed of i sound, or just over 1000 miles an 1 hour.
 1 Another test with a somewhat more powerful modification of the same engine is scheduled shortly at its testing station snorth of the Virginia Capes, with an expected speed of l,200 miles an hour.
 More powerful engines of the same overall diemeter are being readied for subsequent tests, with expected speeds of 1900 to 2,O00 miles an hour.
 This particular type engine is taken to attitudes of around six miles under the belly of B-29 and dropped into the Atlantic 1 Ocean.
 The Navy's tests, which have been under way for at least two years, are more spectacular in that

TyphOOn l7O MPH Sweeps Two Jima

TWO LIMA, (P)-Wind weary American servicemen and their de- pendents emerged from storm shelters early this morning after 36 hours concealment from a vis- cious typhoon which howled a. cross this battlefield island at speeds reaching ITO miles an hour.
 Correspondents flying here from Japan found no casualties or in juries among the servicemen and 24 dependent families.
 But damage to installations was extensive. The winds smashed like giant hands on scores of build ings, ripped out the islands inner communications system and snat- ched the flagpole off Mt. Surf bachi's top, linked in history with the US. Marines who captured this one-time Japanese bastion.
 Maj. Svend w. Nelson, Knox vile, Tenn, the islands engineer officer, said ruefully that the storms havoc "sets us back at least six months" but the island commander, Col. Raleigs Macklin of Ottowa, Kansas was thankful that the loss was not greater.
 The typhoon struck hardest at buildings on which maintenance had been allowed to lag. Nearly half of Two Jima's buildings are quonset huts, and the wind rip ped through some of them like a giant can opener while stomping

Bodies of Men Who Fallen in War HI,
 Come Home Today

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. .,(P)- A grey transport slips through the mistS of the Golden Gate today with the bodies of men who died in World War II, the. first to fall and the first to come home.
 A nations grateful tribute a. waited the first funeral ship re- turning the war dead, most of them victims of Iapan's attack on Pearl Harbor which sowed American cemeteries all over the world.
 In Washington, the capitol flag heretofore extended only on the death of president or a member of congress.
 The transport, Honda Knot, in- bound from Honolulu, carried B. OPS bodies. In addition to the Pearl Harbor dead, the ship also bore some who died in later bat ties in China, India and Burma.
 In all, nearly 300,000 Americans lost their lives in World War II. Actually the conflict cost more, the figure does not include the missing or those who died as pris- oners. The Honda Knot and transport from Europe, due in New York October 25, are the first of many, for officials say three-fourths of all Americans who died abroad probably will be re-
