Along The Cape Fear

TIMBER PRODUCTION -
Timber in the turpentine industry
in Wilmington and vicinity in the
1905 principally came from Blad.
en-, Cumberland and Robson
counties. To get it to this city,
after it was cut and hewn, it was
shaped into RATS on the banks OF
the river and its tributaries. There
it was held until freshets came
along to carry those RATS down
stream.
Often there were so many RATS
at one spot, that it was nearly
possible to walk across the logs
from one side of the stream t.
the other. Only a small channel
was left in mldstream to allow
the passage of vessels.
STORES AND YARDS Naval
stores that handled t%urpentine and
its by-products lined both the west
and the east side of the Cape
Fear river at Wilmington. There
were two turpentine stills around
1885 in the northern section of the
city.
One was the Wilder and Nor
ton firm and the other Blossom
and Evans company. There also
were commodious yards for stor-
age along the river from between
Orange a.lS NGr streets.

SALISBURY FLIER
IN DARING RESCUE
Lieut.. Bert Hoffman Lands
Plane On Rough Sea To
Aid Fellow Officer

QUONsET POINT, R. l., June
20 -P-The pilot of a ~single-seat-
er Navy float plane out of the
Naval Air station here today
made a landing and takeoff in
heavy seas IS miles South of Nan
tucket Island to rescue a fighter
pilot who had ditched his disabled
plane, the Navy announced to-
night.
Ensign Malcolm Sillars of Bos-
ton landed his Heilcar at sea after
the motor quit on an operational
flight at 80, 900 feet. He floated
an hour in his life jacket while
fellow fighter pilots circled the
spot and a crash-rescue flying
boat stood by, under orders not
to land because of the rough seas.
: Hearing "rescue talk" on his
radio as he was about to take
of from this base, 1t. Bert A.
Hoffman of Salisbury, N. C. got
radio clearance from Quonset to
the scene and made a successful
landing near the floating pilot. 1t
took him 20 minutes to maneuver
alongside the floating pilot.
Despite the extra load, 1t. Hofe-
man lifted his small plane sue
cessfully from the sea. A big wave
tossed the craft 80 feet into the
air and it fell off on one wing
but he gunned it into SAFE flight
just before it was to hit, he said
here tonight.

ment with the other four mem
bers of the big power military staff
committee on a question of proce-
dure.
The wa]kout occurred at a closed
meeting of the generals and ad.
mirals who have the responsibility
for drafting plans for a global po'
lice force and carrying out orders
of the Security council for the use
of such a force.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko explained to
reporters afterwards that the with
drawal Of the white-jacketed Sow

to this mornings meeting and that
it was not intended as. a general
boycott of the military discussions.
Some delegates expressed the
belief, however, that the new move
reflected stiffening Russian trend
toward refusal to participate in
deliberations where they were out
voted. Although this was the first
actual walkout since Gromyko
himself strobe out of the Security
council March 81, 1916, during de-
bate on the Soviet-Iranian ques-
ton, Russia frequently has refus'
ed to participate in U. N. projects.

WASHINGTON, June 20 - ~
Rep. Cooley D-NC) will ask the
Senate Appropriations committee
tomorrow to restore millions Of
dollars to the Agriculture depart
ment appropriation bill for the
next IL months.
He told a reporter he will urge
that the Senate "save the Ameri.
can farmer from the disaster Of
the House-trimmed bill"
Cooley, who is a member of the
House Agriculture committee, will
ask the Senators to put into the
bill again $108, COO, 900, which he
said was chopped off of section
30 funds. These are derived from
80 per cent of import duties and
are allotted to disposition Of sur
plus crops in this country. The
House allowed only $40, 900, 000'.
He said he also is asking the
committee to add $135, 900, 900, FOR
soil conservation payments be-
cause "it is a breach of faith for
Congress to take this money from
the farmers"
He said 'the House took SC
much money away from the Farm

ton to operate efficiently" He
wants $35, 600, 900 added for this.

sary because of lack of available

Smith said the commission has

tom of funds.
Nevertheless, he said it had
been unable to get permission
from Rep. Taber (R.-N. " the
House appropriations committee
chairman. Or from Comptroller.
General Lindsay Warren to pay the
employees out of another fund
which would be "ample" for for
the purpose.
Main Offices Hit
Most of the employees affected
are in Washington. A Maritime
official said field offices, e
fleet anchorages and personnel
dealing with ship operations would
not be affected.
But the main offices of the com.
mission here appear slated to be
almost completely empty for the
ten-day period. 1t appeared that
there was some question as to
whether even a skeleton crew could
be maintained.

House Committee

Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Junee 20 c.
Heide Trask, Wilmington truck
farmer, said today that his com
pany will be practically bank
rupt" unless congress blocks ad'
ditional tax assessments resulting
from a Supreme court decision
cutlawing family partnership fol-
income tax purposes.
Trask ard Charles S. Lowrimore,
Wilmington accountant, urged the
house ways and means committee
to pass legislation letting families
divide their income as a means
of paying lower taxes.
Residents of 10 states which al
lew the pooling of family income
pay lower taxes than those in the
ether states, including the Caro-
linas, and this 'inequity' should
be eliminated, they said at q
hearing on the proposed legisla'
ton.
Legitimate Cases
Trask said the bill should rec
ognize legitimate family partner
ship such as his own family, which
operates vegetable farms neal

The pending bill would make

added.

ditional assessment, it will prac-
tically bankrupt US and will take
bread and meat from approx
mately 500 men and women who

Equality Basis

"place each individual taxpayer
en- a basis of equality for income
tax purposes, regardless of the
