Mystery Of Lost Colony
Holds Allure for Tourists

MANTEO, N. c. The mystery
of what happened to the Lost
Colony" first English settlement
in America, probably will remain
unsolved forever.
No detective, however, is needed
to find the cause for the tremen-
dous ucces of the symphonic
drama based on the Inflated colony
established by Sir Walter Raleigh
here on Roanoke Island in 1887.
The public simply won't let it
fold.
AS a result, 1.-THE Lost Colony"
a drama written for a o%ne-season
stand back in 1887, began its ninth
year of production. Staged in an
am%phitheatre seating more than
5000 persons On. the historic site of
Fort Raleigh, three miles north
of here, 1.-THE Lost Colony" has
become a major tourist attraction.
The drama had its premiere on
July 4, 1887, to memorabilia two
events which occurred at Fort
Raleigh-the establishment Of the
first English colony in America
and the birth of Virginia Dare, the
first English child born in the new
world.
Planned as a local, -one-season
production, the drama had hardly
finished its first season before re-
quests to repeat it began flowing in
from everywhere. Produced again
in 1888. 1.-THE Lost Colony proved
itself a solid hit.
Repeated each July and August
from 1887 to 1941, the drama was
revived in 1916 following a four
year wartime suspension, and was
witnessed that year by So, 900 per-
sons.

Mosseur, Blind
78.Y Years, Regoins
Complete Eyesight

HOPKINTON, MASS .-Totaily
blind for Is years, Edward r. Ray
60, a masseur, has reported his
sight has returned.
"It's true" he told newsmer
happily. I'm sitting on top Of
the world. In fact, it's a whole
new world"
Ray said his eyesight came back
to him suddenly but he waited 36
hours 'to be sure it wasn't a cruel
freak"
Rays optometrist, DR.. Edwin
T. Olson of Worcester, called the
event ga most astonishing thing"
DR.. Olson said he had examined
Ray frequently in the last eight
years, adding. There seemed
nothing to be done to help him."
DR.. Olson said he had not ex-
amined Ray since he said his sight
was restored. He said Ray was
'too excited" to be examined yet.
Ray said he was walking through
a hall to the kitchen in his home
when suddenly everything became
bright"
81 was so startled I stood stock
STILL" he said. His brother-in-law,
Joseph Deegan, was visiting at the
time, Ray said, and was sitting in
kitchen with Mrs. Ray.
MY God, I can see I shouted
to Deegan," Ray went on. "He
looked from me to my wife, and
then his brother Charlie walked
in. The three of them looked at
one another. They must have
thought I was crazy.
81 went over to the kitchen table
and picked up a newspaper and
read out the headlines. They be-
lieved me then.
1.-THE thing that impresses me
the most" Ray went on, sis the
brightness, of things. Everything
is so colorful and 1 had almost for
gotten what colors looked like"
His eye troubles began when he
was g., Ray said. While playing
games, a stick struck him in the
right eye, he said, and eventually
cost him the sight of that eye.
For nearly 35 years, Ray said
he was blind in one eye and the
other was gradually weakening. In
1881 he became completely blind,
Ray said.

Air-Conditioned Bed
I~nfrigues Purchasers

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.-An
Aforementioned bed got more
than a second look from buyers
at the semiannual Grand Rapids
furniture market.
The bed had a foam rubber
mattress with holes punched in
it for cooled air to come up
around the occupant.
The air-conditioning unit was
installed in a 36x76-inch bed
frame built to the floor. 1t had
air filters, fans and a container
for water or dry ice, and was
controlled by a thermostat.
The bed, a product of Walter
B. Stiles, had a heating element
for cold weather. With the
thermometer lowering around
Sc degrees in the building, buy
ers paid little attention to that

u. 5. May End Year
Billion in Red Unless
Tax Returns Boom
By the Associated Press

The Government may be ST.
200. .000. 900 in the hole for the year
ending June 80. officials said today
unless last-minute tax returns
bring in a whopping amount Of
money.
Only last January President
Truman estimated in his budget
message that the Federal deficit
for fiscal 1949 would be just half
that size.
Final f1gures will be uncertain
until tax collectors have finished
counting late-arriving income tax
money! job expected to take .
couple Of weeks or more.
But pending that. they said, the
situation shapes up this way:
Government spending is living
up to the January estimate Of
SAC. .1S0, 100000. Income, however,
is tagging more than had been ex-
pected in January. If this trend
continues. collections will be about
$500, 100000 under the $39,580.-
100000 estimate-and that al.
ready was $500. .0o0,o 900 below the
spending figure.
The revenue estimates were
based on predicted 6.2 per cent
drop below fiscal 1948 collections.
But up to March IS, 1949. receipts
were running per cent behind
the same period of last year.
The March IS returns could
change that picture altogether
depending on how many big tax
payers waited until the last min
ute. Most early returns came from
taxpayers claiming a refund for
overpayment.
Besides. the Treasury's cautious
f1gure-men take a traditionally
pessimiStic view when estimating
receipts; in recent years, final re-
ceipts totals have topped Treas
ury estimates by huge amounts.
IT the estimate this year over
shoots actual receipts, making the
deficit worse than anticipated, 1t
will paint an even darker outlook
for fiscal 1850, beginning next
July l. And it might:
/. Put the heat on Congress to
give the President at least part
Of the s4.00O,o0O,0Oo tax increase
he asked.
2. Put a finish to proposals by
House Minority Leader Martin
and others to lower the excise
taxes on goods ranging from
movie show tickets to light bulbs.

West RenewsDema
lon Russians for Data
On German Prisoners

The United States. Great
Britain and France today renewed
diplomatic pressure on Russia tt
furnish information about Ger
man prisoners of war remaining
in the Soviet Union.
The State Department made
public a note delivered to the
Soviet Foreign Minister in Moscow
last night. rejecting allegations
made by the Soviet in January
about American intentions ano
charging that the Soviet govern
ment itself had confirmed its fail
ure to carry out an agreement fo1
repatriation of prisoners by last
December 81.
British and French notes along
the same lines were delivered in
Moscow at the same time.
Inspection Proposed.
The British proposed that "ar
agreed international body be in
vited to inspect the conditions un-
der which German prisoners still
are held IN Russia and the condi-
tions under which former Ger.
man prisoners who have volun-
teered to remain in Britain al
civilian workers are living. Tht
British proposed that Russia sug-
gest an organization to make the
inspection.
The three Western governments
were following up an approach tc
Moscow made in similar notes
January 3. asserting that Russian
failure to carry out a 1947 agree
ment to complete repatriation o1
German war prisoners no later
than last December 81 could be
interpreted only asa breach Of
faith" and demanding informa-
ton on Soviet intentions.
The Russians replied that they
would complete repatriation OF
war prisoners remaining in their
hands during 1949. according to
their own plan. They charged
that the Western power notes
were not intended to hasten
decision on the matter. but were
designed to distract public atten-
ton from the retention of Ger
man prisoners as hired workers"
by the British and French.
The American note made pub
lie today said the United States
rejects these allegations as not
in accordance with the facts. It
asserted that ut is difficult to
reconcile the position now taken
by the Soviet government with
actual events"
The note cited at least six in
stances in which Soviet represent
atives on the Allied control au-
Ithority in Germany gave assurances
that all German prisoners OF wal
in Soviet custody would be re-
patriated by the end Of l94S.
In regard to former German
prisoners remaining in France and
Britain, officials said that about
1876, 900 have voluntarily elected tt
stay in France as free workers
approximately 1900 more chose
to remain in Britain and British
territories in the Middle East. The
British and French notes pointed
out that these arrangements had
been no secret.
The British note asserted that
at least 100000 German prisoners
are retained in the Soviet Union
American officials say that only
about half of the 890,532 German
prisoners held by the Russians In
1947 are Officially known" to have

Arms Need From u. ).
ty ihe Assoeioisd Press

LONDON, Mar. 16.-An esti-
mate Of arms needed from the
United States was studied by the
Foreign Ministers Of the 1ive-na-
ton Western European Union,
diplomatic Sources said today.
The Foreign Ministers Of Brit
ain, France. Belgium, the Neither
land and Luxembourg wound up
a two-day meeting here last night.
A terse communique said they
went over problems Of financing
and producing military supplies
for their joint defenses.
Pact Developments Studied.
They said they also studied the
latest developments in connection
with the North Atlantic Pact.
The diplomatic sources ex-
panded on the communique. They
said the foreign ministers looked
over = report stating they would
have to depend on the United
States to supply heavy bombers
and mobile armor.
The informants said the report
also outlined the types Of arma-
ment the nations themselves can
produce. They added payment to
the United States presumably
would be partly in services and
partly with European Recovery
Program funds.
The report came from British
Field Marshal Montgomery, chair
man Of the military committee
that plans the defensive strategy
of the Western European union.
Ministers Sail March Is.
Most. If not all, of the union s
foreign ministers are expected to
sail from England March 25 to
sign the Atlantic pact in WASH
ington. The United States, Can
ada and Norway also plan to sign
the treaty. Italy, Denmark, Ice
land and Portugal also may join
The ministers also postponed
the constitutional convention of
the Council Of Europe until some
time next month. The original
date set would have conflicted
with the signing of the Atlantic
pact.
The five nations have invited
Italy. Denmark. Norway. Sweden
and Fire to join them in setting
up the Council of Europe-a So
cial and cultural union which
would have a political form.
The foreign ministers were said
to have gone over q rough draft

EXTENDED CIVIL SERVICE
The Federal Personnel Council is

ommending to Congress the ex-
tension of civil service to thou
sands Of overseas jobs.
Recently several top Army Off
GERS stationed in Berlin confided
they would like to see some Of
their civilian employees there
placed under civil service.
This attitude. which is a re-
versal Of the usual military one
in regard to these employees. is
being echoed by some of the
other agencies which have over
seas employees. Many officials say
there would be fewer headaches
Iif those filling the jobs were un-
der civil service. Morale would be
better and the handling of per-
sonnel much easier, they say.
