TOLL ROADS.
(The Durham SUM

One of the most amazing developments of the 1851
General Assembly is bill which passed the State Senate
yesterday providing North Carolina Turnpike Authority
It would private companies the right to build
toll roads in the State.
It is aluringly presented to get the trucks
off the States roads and onto private express highways
but good many dangers wrapped the project
The trucks may prefer the free roads.
In the first place. it is not actually public traffic relief
measure but profit adventure That is clear It is an

profit to the owners of the roads,
There at least three catches which will worry
thoughtful citizens and two probabilities which will give the
harassed citizen of mind The three catches
l. The owners will enjoy the power of eminent domain
That they will be able to their roads where they
please taking such land they desire through codemn
ton, if necessary.
g. The State Highway Patrol would have authority
over traffic the private roads There unpleasant
implications there
The private highway operators would Sin addition to
its other have the right to change alter existing
highways to meet the needs and convenience of the turn

could that the turnpike builders could try
segmens of present public roads athough believe that
would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL and incorporate them the
private roads well simply alter grades and approaches
If the bill passed at ALL it should be clear that
pike be built in such dispace or block public
roads and compel traffic to use the tollways
The dangerous probabilities ID that the State may
have to take the roads and obligations before the thing
is done and (2 that the credit of the State despite all
proestations and intentions ultimately be involved
Reverslon to toll roads would seem to be backward

THE PROPOSED ADDITION TO
THE TAX ON CIGARETTES
(The Chapel Hill Weekly

Hearings on the Treasury's pro-
posal for the addition of 3 cents
a pack to the federal tax on Gig
arettes are to be held before the
ways and means committee of the
House of Representatives next
week. James Free, Washington
correspondent for Rawleigh News
& Observer, says in a dispatch to
that paper that a delegation of
North Carolinians will be present
to protest against the extra tax.
"Spokesmen for tobacco growers,
warehousemen. and manufacture
ers," he says, "are expected to tell
the committee that such heavy
additional tax on cigarettes - al
ready taxed seven cents a pack by
Uncle Sam-might turn out to be
matter of killing the goose that
lays the golden egg that the gov
eminent already gets So in taxes
for every 81 that goes to tobacco
farmers. The tobacco men are GER
tain to get a respectful hearing
before the committee, which is
headed by the. veteran Tar Heel
representative, Robert L. Dough-
ton"
That saying about killing the
goose that lays the golden. egg is
an old familiar standby when any
person or interest is protesting
against a tax. What the protester
means is that if there is an in
crease in the tax, on whatever the
article is, the resulting increase in
the price will cause many people
to quit buying the article, or to
buy less of it, and so the tax rev.
enue will decline instead of rising.
The record indicates that such
goose-killing is not seriously to
be feared in the case of cigarette
taxes. The price of most cigarettes
went up cent a pack last August,
yet the government internal rev.
enue records show that the tax col
lections on cigarettes in 1850 were
higher by about 80 million dollars
than they had been in 1949 (going
up from $1,233, 100000 to $1,263,-
00O,00O).
Back in the 1905 when agri-
culture and industry were in a
slump, tobacco-growing and to-
accommodating were called
"depression-proof," because, no
matter how hard the times, no
matter what other forms of self
denial were practiced, cigarettes,
smokers kept on buying cigarettes,
and there were more and more
smokers as the population in
creased.
/ don't believe there is danger
of North Cardinals economy being
damaged to any substantial extent
by rise in the price of cigarettes,
and l don't see any reason why the
government, faced as it is with
the necessity of charging it's rev.
enue in the national crisis, should
not go ahead and add 8 cents
a pack to the cigarette tax. AS for
the individual who feels that he
cannot afford to spend more for
cigarettes, the solution of his
problem is a simple one. All he
has to do to avoid making an ad-
ditional outlay of money is to
smoke fewer cigarettes. That will
be good for his pocketbook and it
will certainly not do any damage
to his health.

CAROLINA COAST WAS
SCENE OF THREE OF
FIRST SUB SINkINGS
Rv AYCOCK BROWN

By AYCOCk BROWN
Hatteras.-all is quiet along
the oceanfront of the Outer Banks
during March of 1851, but nine
years ago it was a different story.
During the first half of 1912 ship
after ship was sent to the bottom
by expertly aimed torpedoes of
enemy submarines.
The Coast Guard operating
from Hatteras and Ocracoke Inlet
were doing a swell job in saving
survivors of torpedoed ships, but
during those early days of '42 our
military had little equipment to
fight the U-boats.
"Acres of Oil''
At one time or another residents
of every village along the Banks
from Ocracoke to Mays Head had
seen the results of the undersea
raiders. Those results ranged
from great pillows of black smoke
from burning tankers to tht move
ment Of survivors through the in
lets and to the mainland for brief
ing on their way back to more sea
duty aboard other tankers or car
go ships. Sometimes, after the
tankers had gone down, acres of
oil would drift onto the beaches
and become a sticky slush that
retarded beach patrols constantly
on the lookout for flotsam from
torpedoed ships and guarding a.
gainst probable landings by enc
my agents.
The Navy reported after the
first six months of the War had
passed in 1912 that a total of
$50 merchant ships had been
sunk by the enemy in the At
lantic, something like a total of
2,250,0OO gross tons. OF the
grand total thus lost, the Cape
Hatteras ''bOttleneck" as it was
called by the big brass, Cor
Torpedo Junction" by the little
brass who were aboard the ves-
sells and planes in anti-submar-
inc warfare) was the scene of
more sinkings than any other
area.
During the first six months of
1912 along the Eastern Sea From
tied eight submarines were killed
about as many U-boats as the
Nazis were producing every 10
days during that period.
Official records show that three
! of the eight kills made during the
first half of 1912 were off the
North Carolina coast.
First was the U-85, knocked out
by the old destroyer Roper just
south of Wimble Shoals on the
night of April IS. The go bodies
recovered from this first kill off
North Carolina were buried in a
national cemetery near Norfolk.
Next kill was made by the
Coast Guard Cutter Icarus off
Cape Lookout on the afternoon of
May 9. The records show that af-
ter this sub, the U-352. had fred
a torpedo, she ran aground in
shoal water. Knocked out bv the
cutters denth charges, the U-352
surfaced, allowed the crew to a
bandon shin and then it was scut-
tied. This is the sub which off
shore anglers at Morehead CITY
hear so much talk about today.
The third German submarine
was knocked ont bv three deuth
"ha~oes dropred from Lockheed-
Hudson, of the army air corps,
piloted bv Lieutenant Harry J.
KaNe who after the war was to
nakn his home in Kinston. The
~',h HI lilled was thA TT-7n1, which
had del've~ed some terrible nrnch-
% off Hatteras before its death.

THE NEGRO IN
THE BREWING
INDUSTRY

The National Urban League has
published a pamphlet on the Ne
gro in the brewing industry.
1t is the account of an employ
ment survey conducted by ]. Har-
vey KernS, assistant director of
research and community projects.
Covering "a cities in the six
states in which brewing is ma
ior industry, analyzing the stu
alton in ten large breweries, and
reporting conferences with five
brewery organizations, the study
points out that, although the
manufacturers of beer and other
malt products is among the ma
TONS big business enterprises, it
has additionally excluded Ne
groes from employment. Less than
l percent of the workers in the
five billion dollar industry are
Negroes.
The report gives a careful
analysis of the attitude of Ne
groes toward the industry, the
importance of the Negro market,
and the position being taken by
organized labor. 1t concludes that
recommendations for remedial
action based on the findings in
this study have been addressed to
the industry by the League. The
National Urban League is the
country's oldest and only inter-
racial service agency working for
equal economic opportunity.
