Winter Gas and Oil
Outlook Seen Bright
By inferior Expert

Prospects for adequate gasoline
and Oil this winter look bright, in
the opinion Of Max W. Ball, director
of the Oil and Gas Division, Interior
Department.
Mr.. Ball, in press conference at
the department yeterday, said the
continued West Coast strike of oil
workers could cut into the Eastern
supply seriously. But owing to better
transportation facilities and organ
iZation to meet emergencies this fall
and winter, Mr. Ball does not antic-
ipate the situation will attain the
proportions OF. last winters crisis
The District Commissioners have
revived the Fuel Oil Co-ordinating
Committee, headed by j. Thomas
Kennedy, director of weights and
measures Mr.. Ball disclosed yes
terday he has sent letters to SO
Eastern Governors suggesting the
reappointment or appointment OF
oil co-ordinators to aid industry and
Government to prevent recurrence
of last winters petroleum supply
difficulties. Because the District
Commissioners already have acted,
no letter was sent them.
Because the tanker situation has
improved and there are more tank

Olympic Diet Adviser
Studies Athletes Food

"A great deal OF 'pseudo-scientific
nonsense has been talked about spe-
cial food for athletes said Sir
Adolpe Abrahams, dietetic adviser
for the recent Olympic Games in
London.
AN athelete's capability probably
is no more due to the food he likes
than an engines efficiency is due to
whether its petrol comes out of a red
or green pump. Palatable, generous
meals, especially If accompanied by
glass of beer or champagne. will
make all the difference mentally.
For that reason-not calorie
value-I approve generous diets.
The most ridiculous bosh has been
written about vitamins."

Nevertheless, after the West Coast

Politics Get Hot
AS War OF Words
BOils In State
BY The Associated Press

The Truman-Dcwey presiden-
ttial race took the center Of North
Cardinals political stage last
night-with a States Rights
Democrat joining Democrats and
Republicans in the war of words.
President Truman's policies
came in for attack from Sena-
tor Owen Brewster (R-Maine) in
an address at Republican rally
at Greensboro.
David Clark Of Charlotte,
North Carolina co-chairman of
the States Rights Democrats,
said in a statement that many
Democrats will be trying to
prove a few years from now that
they did not support Mr.. Tru-
man in 1948.
But State Treasurer Charles
M. johnson, urging Democrats
to vote for Mr.. Truman and re-
calling the States bolt to Re-
publican Herbert Hoover in 1928,
said Find me a man today who
is proud of it." johnson spoke
at Wallace.
Charles w. Tillett, Charlotte
attorney, said in a speech that
a victory for Governor Thomas
E. Dewey in the presidential
contest would hurt Southern in
dustry. His remarks were car
ried in a recorded address broad

Telephone Company Manager
Says Service To Be Improved

/ w. P. Maier, group manager
of the Carolina Telephone and
Telegraph Company at Weldon
reported today that the company
is gradually getting it's service
and facilities to it's users in this
area in. better condition.
Maier's statement came after
the Daily Herald had been in
formed that the company was
changing telephone numbers in
Roanoke Rapids without prior
notification to its patrons.
The group manager explained
that the changing of the tele-
phone numbers was necessary
in order that more prople could
be served and IN order that the
facilities of the company in this
area could be returned to a state
of normal operation.
He explained that during the
war years, when material was
difficult to get, it had been ne
cessary to assign numbers to
business and homes in one part
of town which should have been
assigned to another part of town.
He added that the company
had been forced "to strap" trunk
lines together in order to render
this service and now that the
work on the lines and the avail
ability of material made it pos
sible for the company to serve
more people. He pointed out
that in order to served more peo-
pie the numbers which had been
assigned and the cables which
had been strapped together were
being cut apart and new lines
being run. He explained that in
many cases there were two num-
bers on the same cable pair and
that by utilizing each part of
the cable, four customers could
be served.
Maier said that the Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph com :
pany is enlarging its facilities
in this area and that phone in
stalation in Roanoke Rapids is
going forward at a great rate.
He reported that an extra crew
of men to install phones in Roa-
noke Rapids had been put to
work and added that before "too
long we hope to have all of those
who want phones served"
Maier reported that about two
years ago 400 numbers had been
added to the Roanoke Rapids ex.
change and that since then the
company had added some more.
The present plant in Roanoke
Rapids was enlarged about two
years ago and the outside faci-
lities have been enlarged to some
extent, the group manager add
ed.
