ing no crop to take the place of
the reduction in tobacco a n d
peanuts that would produce
$500, 600, 900 in 1913.
Therefore, said the speaker,
the answer lies in a long range
farm program purposed to
provide profitable eight hours
a day farm work every day in
the year. Inasmuch as the work
on any single crop is seasonal,
a year-round program of neces-
sary work for the farm entails
a combination of crops. Indeed,
even a combination of crops
does not provide y%ear-round
work unless livestock is includ-
ed. The goal is eight hours of
work every day on every farm,
with a profit derived from
every hour Of work.
In delineating the immediate
crisis, the dean prophesied that
1948 would displace from the
farms by the tobacco and pea
nut reduction at least $4,000 per-
sons in North Carolina who
must be given employment in
the towns. If this employment is
provided the depression effect
Of the crisis will be curtailed.
In closing Dean Schaub re-
commended livestock produc-
ton for each farm and a diver
sification of crops until every
acre on the farm produced a
profit and until every farm per-
son of necessity had to work
eight hours a day the year
round with q profit for each
hour of work.

The $2,40O salary goal has been
urged on a national basis by

Other Resolutions
The classroom teachers divi-

also passed a resolution for a
$4,000 beginning salary, with is
years of increasements at 500
annually.
Other resolutions passed:
That the state continue match
ing retirement fund contribu-
tons of teachers as long as they
continue to teach.
That schools be asked to close
on the day that the association
holds it's meeting and that con-
sideration be given by the State
Board of Education for paying
teachers on that day.
Reaffirming the justice, equity
and generous program of federal
and urgent need of an adequate
aid to public education, without

That rural consolidation be
considered with all possible

convenience, attend a standard
school for the full school year.
Sanderson Objects
Jesse o. Sanderson, Raleigh
schools superintendent, along
with several others objected vio-
to a resolution calling for
mandatory closing Of schools in
the dirtrict on days when the
association meets, and requiring
the attendance of all teachers.
IF we have come to the point
that we have to go on record re-
quiring all teachers to attend in

then we need to build a big fire

AS one of the men cooked the
pistol and started to shoot him,
Irving pushed the assailant over

adjacent patch of woods, he said.
Several shots were fired at him
as he fled.
At around 2 a. m. he tagged
down on ACL switch enging

the railroad track and was
brought to this city, where he
was picked up by Deputy Sheriff

Mccoy told the Star that Irving
had reported that the thugs had
told him they were going to get
him. and also told him that they
"were going to get some other
drivers tonight (Friday)."
I'VE are trying to be extremely
careful about whom our drivers

The taxi was found about 8
o'clock yesterday morning by one
of the other Yellow Cab drivers.
Mccoy said it was parked at

denied.
Part of the testimony on Mey-
ers' relationship with the firm
getting the 81, 053, 573 came
from Oliver P. Echols, retired
major general who was Meyers
immediate superior.
Echols' recollection was that
in "about 1910" Meyers told
him he had some stock in the
company but either had or would
dispose of it then.
Echols said he directed Mey-
ers to "disassociate himself"
from the electric company or
get out Of Air Force procure
ment.
Senator O'Conor (D-Md)
asked Echoes whether he knew

Echoes did not and also
denied knowledge Of any specu-
lation by Meyers in a long list
of securities in aircraft COM
panies.
The committee heard testi-
mony yesterday that Meyers
held more than $780, 900 of air.
craft stocks on February 5, 1943
in a brokerage account after he
had informed the Air Forces
that such stock had been sold.
Echols also was asked about
knowledge of a margin deal
in government bonds. Meyers
testified he made a paper prof
it" of 500, 900 through purchase
of 81, 600, 600 government bonds
with his wife and family.
Echols said Meyers once
mentioned this to him "but I
could not understand it,"
He added that it was a we'll
understood policy OF General II.
H. Arnold, wartime Air Force
chief, that all his officers must
be above suspicion" and have
no financial or other interests
in wal or aviation contractors.
In Bells testimony on the
subconracs, he said Meyers
told him the electric company
was handling some signal corps
orders for radio equipment.
Bell said it was given contracts
for electrical wiring boxes for
both British and American war
time aircraft.
"Did he (Meyes) ever lndi-
cate to you that he had any
financial interest in the COM
pany" Bell was asked.

Edison Martin, a farmer, was
arrested in Whiteville by De-
putty Sheriff H. M. Allen, who
also aided in the investigation,
Sasser said. Whiteville Police
Chief H. D. Stanley also worked
on the case.
Received Tip
The South Carolina sheriff,
who was on the case incessant-
ly and without rest for three
days, said that he began his
search for the three men when
he "got word that Williamson
had been hanging around Halls
place"
He said that the confession Of
one of the three, whose name
he could not reveal, had been
checked thoroughly and had been
found to agree completely with
information gathered on the
case by investigating officers.
Of the three prisoners only
Martin does not have a police
record, Sheriff Sasser said.
Hall, whose family was visit
ing at Spartanburg, S. c., at the
time, was shot to death with a
12-guage shotgun purchased at
Finkelstein's here in Whining
ton. according to Sasser. The
sheriff said that the shells for
the gun were purchased at An
Choir Hardware company here.
S26.500 Loot
At the time of the shooting
Hall had gone out into the yard
of his filling station-store to
feed two small pigs in a pen
there, according to Sasser, who
said that the robbers took "five
or six hundred dollars" from his
person and around $25, 1000 from
inside the store. He said that they
missed an additional $4,000
which was concealed inside the
building.
The sheriff said that the kill
ers had thrown two pocketbooks
and a .38 calibre pistol taken
from the body of Hall out Of their
1941 coupe, belonging to Whitley
Pulliski, and that a reward is
being offered for the return Of
these objects. They were thrown
out between Little River anc

that Chest officials will meet

Burney Speaks
Judge John J. Burney, who
made the principal. address at
yesterdays session, stated that
people talking about a depres-
sion have convinced people that
it is just around the corner"
and thus had caused the lag in
Chest campaigns in other cities
and here, despite the fact that
"the income of the public in the
United States is greater than
ever before in history"
Praising Wilmington, its eli
mate and it's people, Judge Bur-
ney made a stirring appeal for
support of the Chest drive and
achievement of it's goal. eff you
could go with me and could see
what l see-if you could see the
little boys and girls I see you
would realize what the Commu-
nifty Chest is doing for Whining

He pointed out that Whining

he said. Every second crime
costs Americans 81, S47, and
every two minutes a car is sto-
len. "Yet last year we spent
only SO, 1873, 900 for education in
this country" the judge pointed
out.
