Bow Scout Movement Makes Great
Gains During Years In Halifax Area


Again it is Roundup Time among the boys of the
Bow Scouts of America, good time to stop and re-
fleet on some of the accomplishments made In the
past years by the and boys who have made
Scouting what it is today.
BY contrast the Boy Scout movement in Amer
lea stands out as example of accomplishment never
paraleled in history There have been several recent
youth movements, called in recent years, four OF
which grew to great strength under totatarlan sys-
TENS Of government.
In Nazi Germany, in Fascist Italy, in expansion
minded Japan the youth movements were nailed by
the boys those nations to be fodder IN pow
erful machines they were successful, but all OF
them have failed because they were dictators toys
and because they had no heart - only veneer OF
militarism.
In the Soviet today there youth groups SIM
liar to those which have already failed 1t can only
be hoped that the children there will not be turned
into automatons with guns again to disrupt the I'M
easy peace.
Only in free nations has the Scouting movement
succeeded because Scouting is based on those prin-
cipes which have made free nations remain free. The
Boy Scout Oath embodies the principles which have
made Scouting as important as it is today
Here in the Halifax District good leaders serving
without pay hope of gain have sought only to give
to the boys in their organization chance to develop
their minds and their bodies not by RECOMMENDATION
and housekeeping but by allowing them to get
closer to nature, by embodyng in them the apprecla
ton of aid to Others by mbuing them with reverent
respect for God aof love and love OF the country
which has fostered them.
Our own Boy Scouts succeeding where other
youth groups have failed. They can continue to be
of inestimabe value to their community and to their
country so long as their community and their country
supports them.

School Officials Have Job Ahead
In Getting Started At Chaloner

The news that Roanoke Rapids School officials
have been officially notified by the county commits
sioners that $4,000 is available for the construction
of sanitary facilities at Chaloner School is indeed
gratifying to us.
We knew that the money had been appropriated
for that purpose but the school officials did not have
the official word
School officials have long said that there is def
mite need and an acute situation at Cha1oner in
gard to sanitary facilities Their original request was
for 1000, the estimated cost of the facilities.
So the $4,000 which is available now is only half
enough for the project.
However, half enough is better than nothing.
It is our hope that the school officials will begin
immediate work to get half of the project finished
with the money available and then complete the prof.
ect next year when the other funds become available.

Mcclure Conviction

The conviction of Nixon Mcclure,
SO, former express handler, on a
manslaughter charge in the fatal
beating of Mrs. Theodore Rowen,
was affirmed yesterday by the Court
Of Appeals.
A District Court jury found Nc
Guire guilty last February of the
Staying, which occurred in Septem-
ber, 1947, in basement apartment
at 1919 I street NV, where Nc
Guire and Mrs. Rowell, a 35-year-
old hotel telephone operator, had
been living together.
An autopsy showed Mrs. Rowell
died from a cerebral hemorrhage
due to blow ON the head.
Mcclure was sentenced by Judge
Edward M. Curran of District Court
to serve from to Is years.
The Court of Appeals, in its opin-
ion written by Judge Bennett
Champ Clark, held that questioning
of MCGUIRE by Judge Curran during
the trial was not prejudicial, as
contended by the defense.
The Appeals Court expressed the
view that "the examination of the
court tended more to benefit de-
fendant than to hurt him, since it
afforded him an opportunity, If he
had chosen to avail himself of it.
Of Strengthening out several glaring
discrepancies in his testimony"
Judges Henry w. Edgerton and
Wilbur K. Miller heard the appeal
with Judge Clark.

Warren Interrupts Politics
To Inspect Navy Facilities
BY the Assoeioted Press

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Oct. IT,
Gov. Warren, Republican, vice presi-
dental nominee, putting aside tenn
porarily his campaign duties, en-
barked today on a non-political tour
of Navy and Marine Corps facilities.
He is making the tour as guest
of the Navy before taking off in
the afternoon for Fresno and a
speech there tonight.
Gov. Warren last night renewed
his campaign appeal for election of
a Republican administration before
a San Diego audience.
He termed world peace "the fun
damental issue before the country
today" This issue, he said, was the
corollary OF what he termed the
other fundamental question of the
present campaign-that Of national

United Air Lines Head
Asks Probe Of CAB for
Causing Difficulties
By the Assoeiafed Press

DES MONIES, Oct. 27-An air.
line president today blamed the
Civil Aeronautics Board "for airline
difficulties" and suggested it be
investigated.
w. A. Patterson, president Of
United Air Lines, made the sugges-
tion in an address before the Iowa
Bankers Association Convention.
He cited the s36,0O0,000 which do
mestic air transport companies have
lost the past 18 months, and said: /:
The Civil Aeronautics Board is
principally responsible for airline
difficulties today. The Civil
Aeronautics Board has been holding
airline cases for the increase of mail
rates for over two years.
Probe Suggested.
Il would like to see two or three
Of the outstanding transportation
economists of the United States
appointed to investigate the stew
ardship Of the Civil Aeronautics
Board over the airlines."
Mr.. Patterson said an investiga-
ton OF CAB would show some good
decisions and that it also would show
some factors of political patronage"
in the granting of airline routes.
He said the CAB had failed to
"evaluate the basic problems of air
transportation and to foster
sound economic conditions within
the industry"
Confusion" Cited.
Mr.. Patterson said the CAB "has
appeared to be confused and vacil-
latlng and that it is inquiring into
such minor problems" as the serv-

BY the Associoted Press

PATTERSON, N. j., Oct. 81
Senator Barkley says there has been
a revolution in the thinking of the
American people" and that 1t adds
up to Truman-Barkley victory.
The Democratic candidate for Vice
President, in a speech last night,
asserted:
I'VE are going to win. There has
been great change these past two
months"
He came into this industrial center
after a rousing reception in Trenton,
where he spoke from the steps of the
State Capitol to a crowd estimated
by police at 2,000-about the same
number who heard his Republican
opponent, Gov. Warren, October /.
Senator Barkley combined an at
tack on Gov. Dewey, the COP pres
idential nominee, with plea for the
, election Of Archibald S. Alexander
Democratic candidate for Senator.
Gov. Dewey, Senator Barkley said

it had reached complete agreement

land, where there Is a very large

COP Got Lift From Primary.
The Republicans and Democrats
for the first time nominated their
candidates for State office and for
Congress in primary elections this
year. The Republicans polled more
votes in the primary than did the
Democrats, which gave the COP q
lift in spirit. However, in the Re-
publican primary there were several
hard fought contests, and the
Democrats, with Gov. Pastore and
Senator Green all set for renomina-
ton, had none worthy the name
Senator Green, 81-year-old politi-
cal veteran, is running against
Thomas P. Hazard, 55-year-old Yale
graduate and successful business
man. Mr.. Hazard was treasurer of
Rhode Island during the adminis-
tration of Gov. Vanderbilt, Repub-
lican, in 1910, Gov. Vanderbilt
was the lone Governor the Repub-
licans have elected in this State for
many years-and his election grew
out of a bitter row within the
Democratic Party.
The reelection Of Senator Green
is generally conceded. And it is
predicted that Representative Forand
in the 1st congressional district and
Representative Fogarty in the ID
both Democrats, also will be re-
elected, although Oscar j. "
Hurteau in the 1st, and Thomas ].
Paolino in the I'd, both Repub-
iicans, are putting up hard fights
for these House seats.
The Republicans, because Of the
way the senatorial districts are con-
stituted, hold control Of the State
Senate. This is a prize which some
of the Republicans regard above the
election of a Governor-for they are
in position-as long as they have a
Senate majority-to halt legislation
which they consider bad. They ex-
pect to retain this control.

in line with the months-oh policy
of playing down the whole subject
during the political campaign.
Believed Bipartisan.
Diplomatic officials who have
been working on preparations for
the alliance say they believe 1t is
based on this country's bipartisan
foreign policy and that the project
will be carried forward whether
President Truman or Gov. Dewey Is
elected.
Nevertheless one of the first post
election moves will be to go over
the whole situation with the win
ming side so that further negotia-
tions with the Europeans can be
guided exactly by what the next
administration will support.
The basis for the work already
done by Secretary Marshall, Under
secretary Lovett and other State
Department officials was laid by the
Senate last spring.

foreign policy adviser, helped write
this resolution along with Senator
Vandenberg, Gen. Marshall and Mr.
Lovett.
In general, the alliance is planned
as q regional defense arrangement,
under the United Nations Charter,

American defense system, which

Atomic Commission
Sued for S1,00o,o00
By Electrical Union
by the Assoeiofed Press

The embattled CIO Electrical
Workers Union is striking back
at the Governments charge of
Communist taint with a $1,000,-
600 damage suit against the
Atomic Energy Commission.
The unions plea for money dam
ages-and for a court order cement
ing its contract with the General
Electric Co-grew out of the COM
missions recent decree that workers
at a new atomic plant may not be
represented by the U. E.
The commission imposed that ban
because, it said, serious question"
had been raised by the refusal of
U. E. officers to sign non-C Communist
pledges and sworn testimony that
some of the officers are Communists
or Communist sympathizers.
Face Bar From Plant.
More recently, the commission an
nounced that unless the U. z. officers
very promptly" submit nom Com
munist pledges and pass FBI 10y
atty tests, the union will be barred
from a second Schenectady IN. "
atomic laboratory, the Peek street
plant.
The plant already is in operation,
while the Knolls plant-the one COW
cred by the fiat ban-still is under
construction. Both were contracted
for marathon %o CA1n~n1
which has an exclusive collective
bargaining with U. E.
The suit filed in Federal court
here yesterday by U. E. President
Albert ]. Fitzgerald and the head
of U. Els Schenectady local said
the commissions ban would mean
"irreparable" injury to U. E.'s 600,-
600 members. 1t asked the court to
issue an injunction forbidding the
commission or the company from
disturbing the unions exclusive
bargaining rights for all G. E.
workers.
Named as defendants besides the
commission itself were Chairman
David E. Lilienthal and other men,
bers and the General Electric Co.
There was no immediate comment
from any of those named.
Required to Give Oaths.
Mr.. Lilienthal had written Mr..
Fitzgerald that U. E. officers would
be required to give the same non-
Communist oaths and loyalty data
required of all atomic workers and
union officers representing them.
The chairman indicated that U. E.
could be reinstated at the Knolls
plant If its officers submitted salts
factory security information along
with the disavowals of commu-
nism required under the Taft-Hart-
ley Labor Act.
The U. E. suit said the commits
sion is demanding that the unions
officers confess by word or action
their politics, social and economic
beliefs and opinions in violation of
constitutional guarantees"
Mr.. Fitzgerald, in simultaneous
letter to Mr.. Lilienthal, said the
union will fight this attempt to
establish in the United States Gov
ernment dominated company unions,
modelled after the Nazi labor front.
I'VE shall also attempt" the let
ter said, ito expose your conspiracy

new treaty eventually will cover not
only the five Western European
union countries. but also Italy, Nor
way, Denmark, Iceland and Portugal.
Thus, it would embrace not only
the nations which might become
directly involved in a war with Rus
sia because of their locations in
Europe, but also those nations con-
trolling the North Atlantic sea and

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. q. -
Rhode Island, Democratic oasis in
New England this year, is expected
to give President Truman a plural
ity of 10000 to 10000 votes next
Tuesday-but-it might be much
closer, and Republicans here still
talk hopefully of carrying the State
for the Dewey Warren ticket.
Several reasons exist for DemoA
cratic expectations of victory. There
are no large rural areas, with tradi-
tional Republican strength. Rhode
Island is overwhelmingly industrial
and strongly unionized.
In addition, large racial blocs
vote in elections-Irish, Italian and
French-and they have been for a
number of years predominantly
Democratic. Rhode Islands pres
ent Governor, John o. Pastore, is of
italian descent, and the Republicans
suspect that some of the Italian
group who have voted with them in
the past will go over to the Demo-
cratic side because of Gov. Pastore.
Won by $4,000 Votes.
Gov. Pastore, VINO as Lieutenant
Governor first became Governor
when Senator McGraht resigned
that Office, was selected chief execu-
tive in his own right in 1916 with
margin of $4,000 votes over his
Republican opponent. That was a
Republican year in New England
outside of Rhode Island, and the
Democratic lead in this State was
shaved down from the $4,000 margin
Franklin D. Roosevelt held over
Gov. Dewey in the presidential race
of 1914
Gov. Pastore has given the State
a good administration and there is
every reason to believe he will be
reelected, according to informed
sources. His Republican opponent is
Albert P. Ruerat, who for the last
IL years has been Mayor of Warwick.
Mr.. Ruerat Is a and a successful
businessman. He won the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor
against several opponents, the strog-
est of whom was Raoul Archam-
bault. a State Senator from West
Warwick. Mr.. Archambault is a
veteran of the last war in which he
served in the Marine Corps with
distinction. The Republican organ
ization backed Mr.. Ruerat.
Wallace Ticket Is Filed.
Henry Wallace's Progressive Party
Mr.. Wallace himself is on the bal
lot in this State-has entered candi-
dates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor. The gubernatorial can
didate is Clemens J. France, law
yer, brother of the late Senator
France of Maryland. Mr.. France
has held a number of Offices in
Rhode Island.
His running mate for Lieutenant
Governor is Joseph c. Schein, who
several years ago was star guard
on the Brown University football
team. Mr. Schein later played pro-
fessional football for the Chicago
Cardinals-and was athletic coach
at Hope High School in Providence.
The Progressives have one other
candidate on the ballot-Mary Lopes
Smart, colored, running for the
State Assembly.
The Progressive managers insist
they will roll up 10 per cent of the
vote-which would give them 10000
votes plus. If they did they would
play real part in the coming elec-
ton and probably throw the State
Republican, but most observers say
the Progressives will be lucky if
they poll as many as 5000 or 5000

ing of flight meals rather than the
larger problems of efficient airline
operation.
He said he did not charge CAB
with complete failure" and that it
would be unfair to blame individual
CAB members, some of whom have
taken Office only recently.
