THE SUNDAY STAR-NEWS. WILMINGTON. N. I.
MIMIC WILD WEST
CONTINUED From Page One)

They assembled an arsenal -
both real and make-believe.
They collected six rifles, To-
900 rounds of ammunition, hunt
ing knives-and two dozen as
sorted toy machineguns, pistols
and revolvers.
Early in the evening they test
ed one OF the weapons. The shot
entered d home and narrowly
missed a housewife. Police IN
vestigated but found nothing.
AS dawn approached, the boys
set the stage for the thrilling
climatic scene. They broke into
a gasoline service station, haul
ed their shooting irons inside,
cracked out the windows and
made themselves an OUTPOST"
Shortly after 5 A. M. Friday,
in the pre-dawn dark and still
ness, they laid down a barrage
of gunfire against imaginary
enemies.
The pumps and houses nearby
were peppered with shots.
Town Marshall Louie Peterson
formed a posse and attempted
to storm the station, but was
held down by gunfire. A police
man could not approach close
enough to hurl a tear gas gre
made. The group returned some
of the fire.
From the empty shells lying
around, at least several hundred
shots were exchanged, Knutson
said.
"It was a miracle no one was
killed" he said. Two trucks
were hit, one of them a gasoline
carrier.
Knutson and a deputy arrived
from Crookston, the county seat,
SO miles away, around 7 A. NJ.
The battle still ragged.
Suddenly, the boys broke from
the station. They ran across the
tracks and into one of the cor
rails of the stockyard.
In this western setting, they
again turned fire on the posse
that was shooting over their
heads.
Then, the young desperados
broke loose again and started to
flee across a field. The shots
overhead apparently convinced
them and they laid down their
rifles and surrendered.
"We've got to little boys lock-
ed up noW," Knutson said.
They're not bad, they're just
boys.
Remember" he said, that
most western thrillers - after
the shooting dies down-manage
to end happily. Maybe this one
will too"

said again, How bout it, boys?
Then I went off in another cor
rer and began talking to Jerry
| Switzerland and o. c. BlancA-
ard. Jr., about who was going
to win today's football game,
Duke or Missouri.
In a minute Rack, or some
body. footed the automobile
horn for me and said Were
going to stay open until after
sales Thursday-that's Nov. ID.
You 60 ahead and tell every
body"
Now that's it.
The Wallace Tobacco Market
will definitely stay open until
after sales Thursday, Nov. -.
Personally, l think my farmer
friends would be doing them
selves a good turn if they'd
bring their tobacco on to Wal
lace for the sales Monday,
Wednesday, and Thursday. l
left out Tuesday purposely be-
cause that's Armistice Day and
all tobacco markets everywhere
will be closed that day for a
holiday.
I just wanted you to know
there's no stuffiness in the to-
bacco selling business. Every
things as comfortably informal
as an old pair Of bedroom slip
pers the dogs been chewing on.
Another thing l like about it
is the boys don't mind changing
their minds about big decisions.
Especially when they feel
they've made a mistake , they
felt they owed it to the farmers
to stay open a little while long
er and they just decided they
were too hasty at first. There
fore, their decision to keep on
selling.
So-and l know this will not
be changed-bring your tobacco
on to Wallace. Well all be there
until after sales next Thursday.

Reversing the stand taken fri

margin to accept the unified re-

proposal the conference will &C
cept a tract of 80 acres near

provision that no buildings will

ference at Greenville next year.
Chancellor Robert B. House of
the University of North Carolina
yesterday told the conference
that the university plans to ex-
pand its new department of re-
ligion.
He said that this year for the
first time a regular department
of religion with full college
credit has been organized, head
ed by DR.. Arnold Nash. 1--WE are
now looking for the most COM
petent professor of Bible our
situation will afford" Chancel-
lor House said. eve have in
prospect a third professor of re-
ligious instruction. Last year
James A. Gray of Winston
Salem endowed a chair of Bible
and provided that funds remain
ing after this chair had been
filled could be used for supple
ntary religious Instruction."
For generations the university
has given courses in the history
and literature Of religion, Chan
cellor House said, adding:
Reorganization of the depart
ment of religion is in response
to a need expressed by the
students themselves in recent
years. Four years ago at the
university some re%ligiously alert
and representative students
stimulated the organization of a
council on religion, composed of
students, faculty members, and
Chapel Hill laymen and minis
ters."

SAME PATTERN

Throughout the ages tyrants seem to be cut from about the same pattern. The tyranny of Com munism in Eastern Europe is no less shocking than that of the Czars In one Of a series of articles written after his recent from Moscow Ferdi- nand Kuhn Jr. of the Washington Post quotes this observation from an American who was in Russia in 1914 when Nicholas II still ruled There are cond- ons in Russia which visitor from the land of free schools free speech and free press finds 1t difficult to understandable arrival of his American news paper with often half page stamped out by the censor: the fear of some people of being overheard when talking frankly on political subjects; the GUS power concentrated in the hands of one lndl- vidual"
 Tcday's Iron Curtain about Russia is as inn penetrable as that of the Czars Eery Russia nnews- paper editor and radio newcaster dances to the tune called in the Kremlin Repeated lies from this source have led most of the Russians to believe that thelr country is being fenced in by conspiracy of wicked capitalist nations led by the United States. with instrumentation that should shame Barnum, the Soviet press and radio attack us day and night while the Iron Curtain prevents the ordinary Russian from learning what is really going on ln the ou'Sloe world.
 The Russian is prohibited from travelling abroad; he might come home with such dangerous ideas as that the American worker in capitalist system has a much higher standard of living than the Rus sian worker under Communism and that the other nations instead of prosecuting Russia, would like to work with her for world reconstruction if met half The one ray of hope is that todays Russian is being much better educated than his parents under the Cars Despite the propaganda which forms a large part of his schooling, his leracy and intel- gence may in time, enable him to know what IS going on outside his country and to discount the Kremlin's lies.

Shades of Huey Long!
Cincinnati Enquirer

Even if we take it as an indication of the ex- tremity to which Englands economic situation has driven it's Labor Government 1t is difficult to believe that Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevn spoke seriously when he hnted that the United States should redis- tribute the Ft Knox gold
 Surely MT. Bevin appreciates that the gold like dollar credits is not an empty symbol but receipt for property owned, labor performed and wealth ac- cumulaed In short, therefore, the Laborte was pro- posing that the United States redisribute it's wealth although how he figures that would make things easier for us or reduce taxes is thing or mystery.
 The arguments entailed in the old question Of adherence the gold system are not applicable here As U S Treasury official has noted we accumulated major share of the worlds gold by paying S35 an ounce for it. It still is available as a medium Of exchange or coin Of wealth if England anybody else to buy it.
 Obviously Bevin is begging the question and perhaps seeking to divert attention from the handi- caps which the Labor Government imposes on itself in the economic reconstruction of England. As one who has been friendly to the United StateS-and evidently still regards himself friend-he does little good to the cause of Anglo American friendship and economic collaboration when he raises before the workers of England essentially demagogic idea Through the centuries since the very beginning Of civilization gold has served mankind as medium of exchange and evidence of wealth. And throughout l almost all of that time people without wealth have assailed gold as an inherently evil thing. Huey Long = or somebody of his like - said the only way we could from the depression of the l93Os was to redistrbute wealth. We managed however, to without praccing grand larceny on celebrated scale
 England's economic and financial needs are not tt be mnimized-.and have many reasons to do what we can to aid in her recovery. But Huey Longlsn is the wrong approach, obviously

and materialistc United States. Anyway the Vech- ernaya Moskva, official organ of the Moscow Soviet, has just launched indignant attack against one Comrade Volkhov, head of the state laundry system in that city.
 It appears that Comrade Volkhov who is not with out some symptoms of captastic enterprise has been spending of the aundrys funds for plugs the Moscow radio and for outdoor posters and subway cards though why this necessary in the absence of competition not precisely clear Nor do know the precise nature of the selling points emphasized by Comrade Volkovs copy writers though they may very well have taken the inferiority complex line favored by of our own soap mouhwash and razor-bade manufacturers. But, whatever they were they seem to have pulled the customers Unfor- tunatey Comrade Vokov had ignored the maxim that the best advertisement cannot help poor product; Comrade Vokhov promised than he could deliver Among other things he promised a courteous and punctual five-day service.
 Instead according to the Vechernaya Moskva. those who brought their clothes to Comrade Volkhov laundry turned away on the preteXt that the stuff was improperly marked or else the bundle was accepted with glib assurance that it would indeed be ready on a specified date But the customers had the devils own time getting it back, if they got it back at all All in all the service seems to have been far less satisfactory and equitable than under own system in which the customer, if he does not get his own laundry, at least gets somebody elses Accord ingIy Comrade Volkhov is in something of a spot He could not as some of our own laundrymen prone to do, and with some plausiby, blame the shortcomings of his service sloveny or lneXper- enced labor Instead, he rashly blamed it on the shortage and inferior quality of the materials with which he had to work. The difficult. with this ex- cuse was that Comrade Volkhov is also head of the trust which has the responsibility of keeping the laundry supplied
 It to to Comrade Volkhov right for ioolishly trying experiment with capitaliStic tricks He should have conducted his laundry on pure Marxist principles, and have advised the customers who called for the return of their extra shirts that they had been reapportioned among those who had no shirts at all Is it not written From each accord ing to his gifts to each according to his need?"

BRAZEN CENSORSHIP

Long established rule in govcrn- ment agencies is that the press and public are entitled to have full information regarding the transfers and salaries of all gov- ernn.9nt officials. When an Of fic.al is transferred from one post 10 another in peacetime-Whether 1t te an ambassador, major gen. cral or stenographer-the public $ entitled to the facts.
 No so, however, under the State Departments new hush-hush rules of secrecy.
 The other day this columnist queIied the State Departments in- formation bureau-Which gets sev- elal hundred thousand dollars from the taxpayers to keep the public informed-regarding the number of An mericans transferred from tie American Embassy in New Delhi, India, since July. This was a simple routine question involving no high secrets or complicated re- search After waiting one day and after three teiephonic reminders, however the State Department information bureau replied that it could not supply the information.
 This is the first time in this columnist's many years of cover ing tEc State Department that secrecy has been carried to this extreme
 Probably this is the reason why, After Henry Grady new U. s. Ambassador to India, arrived at New Delhi, his Counselor of En- Lassy Howard Donovan, immcd- itely began transferring his friends from the United States to jobs under him in the Embassy in h. dia. Donovan was quite brazen about this, wrote letters to friends telling them exactly how to get jobs, and to make vacancies for them he also sent a cable firing six stenographers and clerks all ready on duty in New Delhi.
 Some of the clerks and steno- graphers had teen on duty only short time. When they were
