Washington, Dec. 8-(AP)-So
far as the public is concerned
there are three main points in
the excitement over the Cham
bers-Hiss-secret-papers's case.
l. How those highly secret
papers ever got out of the State
Department.
2. What kind of spy ring was
really operation here in WASH
ington, how it operated, and who
was involved.
8. Whether anything like that
is going on now and what pro-
lection the government as
against it.
Whitaker Chambers, admitted
member of a Communist spy ring
here before the war, has produc-
ed the secret papers.
He did this after he had been
sued for $4,000 by Alger Hiss,
former State Department official.
Chambers, at public hearings
of the House un-American acti-
vities committee last summer
and in a radio interview, accused
Hiss of being member of a
pre-war Communist apparatus"
in Washington.
Hiss denied this and his libel
suit against Chambers was a
challenge to Chambers to put up
or shut up and pay damages. !.

Highway Safety Is Job For Every
Motorists To Try To Cultivate

1t is expected that within the next year there
may be more than million automobiles on North
Carolina highways at least that figure is estimated
by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
More automobiles lead to more accidents and
within the past few weeks highway accidents in the
state have been very much in the news Here in
Halifax and Northampton Counties within short
distance of Roanoke Rapids there have been several
accidents recently several of which have resulted in
serious injury and death. Highway 301 near Weldon
especially seems to have in for its share of acc
dents in spite of the fact that the highway is wide
and clear.
Few of the accidents which happen to automotive
vehicles are entirely Unavoidable" Either there is
negligence or carelessness the part of the drivers
or there has been negligence in correcting mechanical
faults in the vehicles.
Wanton slaughter on the highways of the state
can be surefre topic for conversation, but it does
not make very interesting talk the people who are
lnvoved-or to the survivors.
Highway safety is a matter that is everybody's
business. Therefore it is everybody's job to to
It that safety can be thing of reality instead of
just an idea which will never to pass.

where the standard starting in

years. 1t seems mighty funny
that they would suddenly come

Mr.. Jones seemed to feel no

NARROW Says Spy Investigations
Have Produced Only Headlines

Chambers the. came up with the
papers.
From the way sensations have
been piled one upon another in
the past few days, we're pro-
badly in for a lot Of fireworks.
But this case now-since it's
become know that these high
ly confidential papers got out of
the State Department and into
Chambers hands-goes a lot fur
ther than Hiss or Chambers.
The papers cover a period in
1898. And all this may seem
like old stuff now.
But if there was a spy ring
here then, the question is:
How far did it reach into the
government, that it could get
those papers - some Of them
marked Strictly confidential for
the Secretary Of State"-into the
hands of a man, Chambers, who
said he was a Communist at
that time?
And if spy ring could have
been built so beautifully, what
reason is there to believe 1t was
ever completely broken up?
A federal Grand Jury in New
York Investigated an alleged spy
ring here for about IA months
and got nowhere. Now, with
these secret papers available,
it's beginning its investisation =

The charge that Jesse Jones
backed little straight against
two pairs of fours in a $4,000
pot at the 29 club is neither
here nor there. He says no such
situation arose and, moreover
that he has cheap opinion of
straights in the style of poker
which was discoursed that night
at 30.
What kind of poker was
that?"
"Seven card stud" he said,
and l think l caught a soprano
squeak in his voice. The rough
and ready frontiersman of the
great Southwest, the last rich
man in the United States, with
the courage to hold that the SER
vices we tip for are due us in
the bill for the room, the meal
or shave, Jesse Jones and his
friends of the fabulous marts of
international t d e play po-
ker with a lisp.
For the understanding of those
who came in late, l might ex-
plain hastily that Jim Moffett,
a relic of the first New Deal,
always jumbled up in political
chores, oil promotions and ter
rible personal SORROWS, brought
suit against big, pot-bellied oil
company for $8,00O,0O0 for some
services that he says he did for
someone. He wanted Jesse for
a witness and Jesse asked the
judge to let him off because his
heart was cutting up. To this,
after inquiry, Mr.. Moffett re
piled that man who could play
poker and drink whiskey until
two A. M, and lose a $4,000 pot
to all the fours that the law al
lows with measly straight, was
not as puny as he thought he
was.
I remember the hurt when I
first learned that Buffalo Bill
used a scatter-gun to pop glass
balls in midair as he logged
around the circus arena when
we all thought he was shooting
rifle.
I felt the same qualm when
Jesse Jones said they were play
ing seven card stud.
"You mean seven-toed Pete?"
/ said. with the one-eyed Jacks
and the black treys wild?"
"No," Mr.. Jones said, "Noth-
ing wild. Just seven cards. We
don't call it seven-toed Pete. It's
a good game because it gives
you five draws instead of three.
A better chance to feel them and
chase them out that don't be-
long. You get two cards down
and one up and the bet is usual
ly probably S.. Then a couple
of cards for $3.50 each. Now you
have got two down ad three
showing so, now if you want to
do any business, you bet five
and chase out tn e sightsters.
You can feel where the strength
is. A couple of raises on the
S. round will clear the atmos-
phere. Now you get your sixth
card up and it all depends how
strong they feel or how weak
they think you feel. Then the
seventh card goes down and it
y just Like regular, five-card
