BODY IN FISH
NOT H. KING

Speculation this week that the
body of a youth found in the car
cass of a shark in Galveston,
Texas was that of Herman King,
who was drowned at Ocean Drive
on July 4, was proven incorrect
when officials at Galveston were
in contact with Ben King, father
of the missing youth.
The drowned boys father, after
hearing the story of the shark
having been found in the shallow
waters of Galveston Bay with the
foot of a youth dangling from its
mouth, contacted Galveston otti-
Gals and had the remains of the
body examined. Herman King
had had a fractured leg several
years ago and authorities exam
med the body at Galveston and
reported that there was no evl
dence of any fracture, thus elm
mating the possibility OF the
body having been that of the
missing Tabor City youth.
The story out of Galveston said
that Justice of the Peace James
Mckenna said a study of the
remains fund in the shark lndi
Gated that the youth was perhaps
II or IS years old and stooe
ahout five feet aud nine lncneS
tall.
The skipper of shrimp boat
Capt. Malcolm Saunier said ms
crew netted the shark in the bay
and tossed the fish overboart
in the harbor after it died.
il. Baughman, chief marine
biologist for the Texas Game
Fish and Oyster Commission was
consulted on sharks and he stat
ed that the shark could nave
found the body long distance
rom Galveston since sharf
Il swim $50 miles in one day
tic estimated that it would tak'
a shark about three days to dig
est human body. The fact that
q shark can travel several hund
red miles a day was one Of the
reasons for the assumption that
the body might have been that OF
Herman King who was never
found after drowning July 4.

Tobacco Jubilee Donations Grow;
Farmers To Get At Least $500

Members of the Tabor City
Merchants Association continued
to donate prizes to be given
away to tobacco farmers selling
on the local market at the Sep.
TENDER 6 leaf jubilee this week
and the total value of gifts to
date exceeded $500. Other mer.
chants are expected to make
their donation during the com.
ing week.
A partial list of prizes appears
in this issue of the newspaper
and a complete list will appear
next week.
Almost every member of the
Association has cooperated in
this movement to stimulate in.
.erest in the local market and to
try to convince farmers that
Tabor City has been and will
continue to be the best one-buyer
market in the border belt. The
merchants point out that the
local market has led the belt
four of the last six years in
price average on total sales and
that it is to the farmers advant.
age to sell on the local market.
More rain fell during the past
week but it did not come in
downpours such as were evidence
the previous week. 1t is not be.
lieved that this weeks rain was
detrimental to the crop and most
tobacconists expressed the belief
that a good crop of tobacco is 60.
ing to be harvested in this area
despite the adverse weather con.
ditionS.
There was no doubt that some
tobacco had been drowned out in
some areas and that the dry
weather and heat of a month ago
had done some damage. All told,
however, it appeared that fair.
ly good crop will be sold here.
Merchants Association direct.
ors this week in planning the leaf
season are working out details

WENC in Whitevelle. There will
definitely be short daily pro.

time the previous days sales and
average will be made available to
farmers in the area.
Merchants and warehousemen
here again expressed high hopes
that the leaf crop in the Border
Belt this year would bring one
of the highest average prices on
record. Good grades are expected
to be up in the $50. bracket with
the price falling off as the grade
became poorer.
One of the chief concerns of
warehousemen here this week
was the fact that the crop this
season is much later than last
year and in most previous sea.
sons. Warehousemen feared that
a great deal of tobacco would not
be ready to go on the market by
the time the buyers were seized.

effort will be made by local ware.

ers in the area who still have
parts of their crops to put on
the local floor.
Some tobacco has come into the
warehouses already on a small
scale and there is expected to be
more coming in during the next
week. Warehousemen believe that
a fairly full sale will be held the
first few days of the season but
anticipate a let up for several
days then because farmers will
not be far enough progressed in
their tobacco handling to get
their tobacco on sale until about
midway the selling season.

j. Edgar Hoover recently stated
that there ale Approximately 54,174
Communists members in the United
States. They openly boosted that for
every member there are 10 willing
and subservient fellow-travclers ready
to do their bidding so that we have a
potential fifth column Of around 5lO,-
GOO people in this country.
This whole Communist conspiracy
dates back to 1893 when President
Roosevelt recognized Russia and the
flood gates were opened to Commu-
nists and their sympathizers. 1t has
always been Communist tactics to
smear anyone who dares to reveal
his hideous conspiracy. And Senator
Mccarthy, Republican of Wisconsin,
has not been an exception.
Senator Taft. in commenting on
this, stated, "The Communist in
huencc in the State Department has
been reflected in a strongly pro-Com-
munist policy in the Far Eastern
division, and strongly pro-Commu-
mist policy in China and succeeded
finally in delivering China and per-
haps the entire East to Communism
Whether Senator Mccarthy has legal
evidence, whether he has overstated
his case, is Of lesser Importance. The
question is whether the Communist
influence in the State Department still
exists The Committee has tended to
try Senator Mccarthy rather than to
carry out the real purpose of the in
vcstigation"

Along the Potomac
to Washington
BY J. Glenn Beall
Congressman Sixth District

Louis Budenz. the eX-Communist,
has spoken under oath before the
Senate Committee Investigating Com
munism in the State Department. He
has stated that owen baltimore, Il
top State Department adviser ON Far
East and China affairs. was known
to him to be a Communist, that he
was under Communist discipline and
carried out Communist orders. Here
we have the parallel To- the beginning
Of the Alger Iliss-Whittaker Cham
bers case in which two men, one in
high position in the Governments Of
good rcpute, the intimate of men in
highest Government positions, is ac-
cused by am eX-Communist of lead
ing the hidden Communist life and
association with subversives.
Under our American jurisprudence,
no man is guilty until he is proven
guilty. His innocence is assumed
until guilt is established and this is
as it should be. The guilt or innocence
of Owen baltimore will be brought
out as the guilt or innocence of others
named by Mr.. Budenz in the course
Of this investigation
The tragedy to this country and to
these men is the betrayal of their
country and their trust if their guilt
is established
The same names and situations
crop up like tenuous thread
throughout this and former investi-
cations. There was the Amerasia
case of 1915 which broke for the first
time ON June Of that year. This
case concerned the taking of secret.
confidential documents from the State
Department. Among those who were
accused was John Stewart Service.
Four of the accused, including Ser
vice were cleared, two were convicted.
Mr.. Service was reinstated i'm the
State Department and became
foreign service officer. After his last
clearance the Civil Service Loyalty
Board ruled he should have been re-
quired to appear personally before
that top board. His name was brought
into the baltimore case and he was
recalled to await hearing Budenz
testified that it was his understand
ing from Earl Browder and other top
Communists that John Service was a
Communist pupil Of Owen baltimore.

once again mans best hope OF
achieving world peace.
1t can be said that this was not
a single-handed operation. It
wasn't. Acheson had the benefit
of the skill and the loyalty OF
such former Republican Senators
as Warren Austin and John Fos-
ter Dulles. But this argues that
he does have the capacity to work
with other men Of good will.
AS for men of ill-will, it would
be difficult for the President to
find anybody who can work with
them. The country cannot afford
and the world cannot afford an
American Secretary of State ca
|pable only of yammering us into
a war the end of which no man
can see.
No man more clearly rejecting
the true integrity Of our Ameri-
can democracy than Mr.. Achesor
does has appeared on the scene
in our time; none of equal ability
to perform the desperately difficult
tasks of his Office.
It is to be hoped therefore that
the present rumors will soon die
q proper death. This will rest
with the responsible leaders OF
the Republican party and on their
understanding of their RESPONSE
bility. If they are bound to think
in terms Of 1852, they have two
years in which to find a better
issue than one that endangers
what's left of world security.
