In his address at Woodlawn, the

do you suppose that Washing

of the future of Woodlawn and
reflected on his home at Mount

the central Government at the
Capital bearing his name would
ever be the center from which
the houses we live in would be

Ochoa, wanted for murder.
Ochoa, stocky. scar-faced La
redo importer, is charged with
numbering Henry Whittenberg. jr.
81, cotton gin owner. in a 10TH
floor hotel room early yesterday.
At about the same time, Air Force
Corpl. James Lindsay, 33, was shot
to death in a room five floors
down.
Police Chief D. o. Gallagher
said both men were killed by 80
caliber bullets. He said he was
convinced the bullets were fired
from the same pistol.
Chief Gallagher said the man
who shot Whittenberg apparently
slipped down the hotel stairs to
Corpl. Lindsay's room and killed
him.
A San Antonio woman who was
in the room with Whittenberg saw
the killer. She was held as a ma
terial witness.
I'VE haven't been able to put
our finger on a motive" Chief
Gallagher said. There are too
many angles we can't pin down.
Chief Gallagher said a hotel
bellboy reported he took Ochoa in
the elevator to the 10th floor and
led him to the room Whittenberg
occupied.

JOB. Ehringhaus, 81,
Former Governor Of
North Carolina, Dies
By the Associoted Press

RALEIGH. N. c.. Aug. ii. C..
B. Ehringhaus, former Governor
of North Carolina, died last night
in his room at the Sir Walter
Hotel here. He was 81.
Mr.. Ehringhaus had been con-
fined for two weeks because Of Ill
health.
He was Governor from 1888 to
1887. When he took over during
the depression, the State was in a
sick financial condition. When
he left office, the States SIS .000,-
900 deficit had been turned into a
substantial surplus.
Picked by 2S5.Os6 Majority.
He was elected by a majority OF
285 ,O96, the largest ever given a
North Carolina Governor.
He was proud that during his
administration no school in the
State had to close because Of
finances.
No act of his caused greater
protest, however, than his favor
ing the sales tax.
Mr.. Ehringhaus left a hospital
bed in Norfolk. Va, to take his
oath. Still sick in March, 1888.
he told the Legislature either a
sales tax would have to be passed
or the schools would have to close.
The Legislature fixed the tax
at per cent.
Aided Tobacco Growers.
Low tobacco prices in 1888
caused Mr.. Ehringhaus to issue a
proclamation closing all ware
houses until a price could be
worked out. North Carolina then
got the Agriculture Department
to rush production quotas and
parity price agreements.
Another high spot in his ad-
ministration was the expansion
of rural electrification.
Mr.. Ehringhaus was born IN
Elizabeth City. N. c., and was
graduated from the Atlantic Col
legiate Institute in 1898. He re-
ceived his Bachelor Of Arts degree
from the University OF North
Carolina in 1901 and his law de-
gree three years later.
He started his law practice In
Elijah beth City. Before becoming
Governor of North Carolina. he
served in the States House Of
Representatives and as solicitor.
He married Matilda Bradford
Houghton in 1912 and they had
three children.
