BURGLAR CAUGHT
WITH HANDS ON
CASH REGISTER

AS a detective, Elder Earl Mul
Inns, like Sherlock Homes of OLD,
catches his man in the act OF
crime.
Young Tommy Robinson is be-
hind the bars Of the Dickinson
County Jail, held for breaking
and entering as a result of Earls
Sherlocking. The way of it was
this; Mullins, one of the force at
the Cumberland Chevrolet place
in CintWood, figured that SatEr-
day night was the ripe time for
another break in. Concealing him
self in the inner office, he waited
for the burglar to appear. Watch
ing through a window, he saw
young Robinson make his way to
a window on the ground floor
that had been broken a week
before. There, Robinson punched
out the cardboard that had been
stripped over the hole, reached
in, unbolted the window and en-
tered He came upstairs, made
his way TO the cash register, and
took hold of it. Then Mullins
called on him Robinson was
held in the office until officers
arrived and took him in charge.
Young Robinson served a short
sentence in the penal farm in
Bland County some months ago
on burglary charge. He was
convicted ON another such count
at the last term of circuit court,
but was able to get a stay of eX-.
ecution Since then, he has been
out on a $4,000 bond.

not believe the death of their son,
Ed Stanley, on January 9th to
have been the result of suicide.
1t was enormously reported that
the deceased told his sister, Mrs.
Lena Mullins, that he intended to
kill himself. Mrs. Mullins states
that she was the last person who
talked with the young man and
that he did not mention suicide.
He appeared to be in excellent
spirits short time before his
death, and there was no indica-
ton that he intended to harm
himself.

WIDE SEARCH MADE
FOR MISSING MAN
AT BLOWING ROCK

Young Charlie Hall took French
leave of relatives in the Blowing
Rock community last Friday and
probably created greater CO.
mmotion than he would have
anticipated.
Hall, disabled war veteran,
had been staying for few weeks
in the home of his aunt, Mrs. Eu
thania Vanover. On Friday after
noon, he left the home, as for a
customary walk. AS time length
ened without his return, relatives
became alarmed and organized d
searching party. The party follow
ed the tracks of the missing man
for a couple of hundred yards.
Here the sign stopped without a
single trace. The party then
secured the mountain side and
all the connecting roads. The
search was vain. Also vain were
inquiries made in surrounding
neighborhoods.
On Monday, news came by
some kind of grapevine that the
missing man had appeared in
Elkhorn City, KY where he
made an, appeal for transporta-
ton to a point in another state
This lead was followed, and it
was found that the Elkhorn City
post of the American Legion had
given Hall transportation.
Relatives state that the veteran
was a prisoner of war in Japan
for two years and that he had
been confined some time ago in
mental hospital of the Veterans
Administration.

Several Bills Of Unusual
Interest Now Before
The General Assembly
Repeal of Absent Voters
Law And Sales Tax To
Be Taken UP

The General Assembly of Vir-
ginia, now in session, has some
bills before it that are of unusual
interest.
Among these possible laws is
one introduced by Sen. Harry
Stuart to repeal the absent voter
law. No information has come
out of Richmond as to the pos
sible fate of this measure.
DR.. Witten of Tazewell has in
troduced sales tax bill. He
stated that he had no hope of get
ting sales tax through the pres
ent session of the legislature but
that he believed that Virginia
would at some future time have
to resort to such tax for the ben
eft of the schools and that he
wanted to keep the issue alive.
Governor Battle has recon-
mended that an appropriation of
As million dollars be made from
the state treasury to go to the
counties and cities for the build
ing of school houses-30 million
at once and Is million in 1851.
This is to. be direct grant and
does not require any local match
ing. Dickinson County's part OF
this sum, based on school enroll
ment, would be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
Governor Battle has also re-
commended that state appropria-
tons for teachers salaries be in
creased to the point where no
qualified teacher would receive
less than $4,000 a year.
The Governor also recommends
that the Boards of Supervisors be
given the power to appoint mem
bers of the School Boards. Sena-
tor M M Long told Governor
Battle last week that he could
not support this recommendation.
In the Governors message was
the interesting recommendation
that women be allowed to serve
on juries.
The governor and a great many
legislators have declared against
any increase in state take.
On Monday Of this week that
professional liberal, Senator Rob-
inette of Lee County, introduced
a bill providing that the Boards
Of Supervisors should appoint one
member Of the Trustee Electoral
Board

And now comes Dickinson
County asking some rather large
favors of the state. We are not
asking for anything more than
is right, but we are asking just
the same. We could ask with bet
ter grace if the attitude of the
county had been fairer toward
the state in the past. The state
government is not above criti-
cism, but criticism should be
fair and honest. When it rises
out of disappointed ambition, 1t
isn't criticism, but SANDER. II
this county continues to follow
the kind of leadership it has fol-
lowed for the past few years,
its teeth will be on edge from
the sour grapes it has eaten,

New Shipment of Coons
Received BY Game Club

Seventeen coons were received
by the Rod and Gun Club Tues
day for release. They were taken
to different points in the county,
where they will be cared for I'M
til the close of the present open
season. On that date, February l,
the animals will be released at
undisclosed points.
The coons were trapped near
Williamsburg and seem to be

ping and transportation was
borne by the Virginia Game Com
mission, the other half by the

Voters Qualify For
Next. Town Election

Four hundred tWenty-eight vor

to the polls in the corporation
of Clintwood in the town election
on June Is. OF this number 215
are men and 213 are women. The
list was posted this week in the
courthouse.
This is a relatively high rate
of qualification, averaging about
one voter to each three persons
within the corporation. Evidently

See Commissioner Of
Highways

A group of citizens from Clint
wood and Haysi presented Dick
enson County's case for a road
through the Breaks to James A.
Anderson, Commissioner of High
ways, at Richmond last Thursday
morning.
Senator M M Long and Dele
gate A. R. Singleton presented
the citizens. Commissioner Ans
derson received them with every
attention and showed that he was
familiar with the situation. With
out having received direct com
mitment, they came away with
the distinct impression that their
plea would receive favorable con
sideration. After the visit to the
highway official, the two law
makers took the group to see
Governor Battle.
Among those in the party were
D M Crabtree, Ralph Newber-
ry, E j Sutherland, William

tity in time is still dubious. Since
it has its own atomic energy,
Russia unquestionably is working
as hard as we are on atomic
artillery.
The fact that we are advertising
our alleged wonders is in itself a
distressing sign. Ordinarily vital
new weapons are kept strictly
under wraps to enhance their sur
prise value. This makes our whole
propaganda line suspect.
Artillery mssds Infantry
WHAT is true of novel surface
weapons in general applies also to
tactical aviation, the novel COM
ponent in modern ground forces.
The tactical air element is in
effect an artillery of longer range
and greater mobility. But artil-
lery, whatever its form, is valuable
only if it's action is followed up by
the infantry and armor for which
it cuts a path. If we lack adequate
surface forces to exploit the work
of tactical aviation, its victories
become largely meaningless.
1t is altogether unlikely that we
can outbuild Russia in tactical
aviation. Moscow is known to
have concentrated on such air
craft. as a natural part of its con-
cenration on surface might. But
even if we had more and. better
planes of this type, they would be
as futile as the promised magic

sive force in the decisive element,
which today is the air.
We are helping neither our
friends in Europe and Asia nor
ourselves in promoting fairy tales
of chronological marvels in the
name of morale. We have no
alternative but to confront calmly
the towering truths of Soviet sur
face superiority and geographical
advantage. Only in that way can
we formulate a strategy for vic
tory that exploits Russia's weak
est point: the fact that it is
condemned by its geographical
position to maintain the worlds
most colossal ground forces. Our
strategy, l believe, is in the air.
where we can bring to bear not
only superior quality but also
overwhelming quantity to destroy
the Soviet sinews of military
power.
Our Greatest Weea
EvEN those who disagree with
my concept must acknowledge
that today our greatest need is
for a definite overall strategy.
There is perilously little time for
Americas leaders to decide how
and where to apply our strength.
Let us be forewarned: if our
strength is spread too thin with
the hope that wonder weapons
will make up the difference, we
are courting disaster. The End

weapons if our strategy is falla-
cious. They could be no more
than an expression of the mile-by-
mile warfare in which Soviet
Russia. fighting on its own con-
tinent close to its war-making
vitals, enjoys tremendous ad-
vantages. In short, wonder weap-
ons and tactical aviation will not
bring victory if the basic strategy
is faulty.
The hope of holding" Russia
on some predetermined Zine" is
purely defensive in any case and
therefore doomed to failure. In
modern times defense has never
won a war and never will.
And that brings us back to
the unacceptable need for a
realistic decision ON strategy.
My own view - that we can win
only through intercontinental stra-
tegic air power operating from the
American hemisphere - is fairly
we'll known. I have presented that
view in a book called "Air Power:
Key to Survival" to be published
soon.

Single Bid by Three
Banking Concerns on
Bridge Bonds Charged
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-The
Government charged yesterday
that three big investment firms
got together and bid as a unit
for the right to finance San
Francisco's ST. million Golden
Gate Bridge.
The defense promptly replied
they did so because a Government
agency, the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, asked them to do
it that way.
The exchange came at the anti
trust trial of II of the Nations
key investment banking firms be-
fore Federal Judge Harold r.
Medina.
Henry v. Stebbins, special as
siStant to the Attorney General,
cited the bridge deal as evidence
that the defendants sometimes
got together to block out COM
petition.
Submitted Single Bid.
In 1899. he told the court, Har-
riman-Ripley & Co., Blyth g. Co.
and Dillon Read g. Co. intended
to bid separately on the bridge
financing bonds. However, he
added. they merged their accounts
and submitted only a single bid.
A defense attorney, Arthur
Dean, said the single bid system
had been urged upon the trio by
Jesse Jones, then RFC chairman.
The RFC had obtained the bonds
from the bridge authority.
Mr.. Dean quoted Mr.. Jones as
saying to the three defendants:
Il wish you fellows would
get together. 7 would like one
strong account Ito underwrite the
bonds).'
Judge Medina brought laugh
from spectators when he said of
Mr.. Jones:
you will be surprised, I don't
know who the guy is
Mr.. Dean described the banker
and industrialist as "a petty
Ishrewd Texan" from Houston.
Factors in Worries.
Mr.. Dean said Jones was worried
at the time that a war scare might
break an already jittery bond
market. A California pension plan
drive, a court decision on taxes
and even the fact that an earth
quake might destroy the bridge all
were factors adding to Mr.. Jones
worries, Mr.. Dean said.
Judge Medina suggested Mr..
Jones. himself, might be the one
to settle the issue in the trial and
said:
He is alive and kicking and if
it is necessary to have him here
we can have him here"

New Orleans Firemen
Fight 100000 Fire
BY the Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 15.-Five
French quarter establishments
suffered fire and water damage
last night. Damage was estimated
at 100000 by First District Fire
Chief Gerald Summers. Ffremen
controlled the blaze after a four
hour battle which interrupted
Bourbon street night life and at
tracted thousands of Christmas
shoppers.
The fire destroyed a three
story building at ZIG Bourbon
street housing an electric supply
company and the 20-room Oliver
Hotel. All occupants escaped.
Water damaged the nearby
Three Deuces night club and
Toney's spaghetti house on Bour-
bon street and two restaurants on
Iberville street, La Louisiana and
Felix.
Firemen estimated they threw /
million gallons of water into the
buildings.
