All of US who know and love
the Drinkwaters were greatly
pleased to hear of their recent trip
to New York as guests of Eastern

Were Fearing's Cafe any small

taken care of but there was no

the friendship too of his mother

a blow when news came first that

LOTS OF NEWS NEVER
GETS INTO PRINT

Somebody is always sending US
something to print, with the nota-
ton "in case you need something
to fill up" Lots of people think
maybe newspaper doesn't get
enough news to fill it up every
week. To the contrary, there is
always plenty of news, if we get
the time to write it, and the time
to put it into type.
For instance, we are quite
ashamed of ourselves for having
failed to carry stories to do justice
to the recognition that recently
came to Ben Dixon MacNeill of
Buxton, and Aycock Brown of
Manteo who have received out
standing awards for the literary
and publicity work.
Again this week there has been
important news. Woody Fearing,
Jr., 14-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w B Fearing killed a goose,
while Jerry Daniels, Is, killed two
geese in one day. That is big
news, as we can testify how / felt
upon killing the first goose when
was about Is. Had l been on
the job, we would have had pic
lures of these youngsters with
their game.
Again good job has been done
of stringing Christmas lights in
the Manteo business district. And
nobody does a better job of decor
ating doorways and lighting at
tractive trees than the people Of
Roanoke Island. In fact, Manteo
and vicinity is noted for its well
kept homes the year round.
At long last, as the saying goes,
the new bridge over Roanoke
Sound is to be open for the holi-
day visitors, and it will be most
welcome. No longer will our visi-
tors be made afraid because of the
rattle of board on the old bridge
and now at last ends the flat-tire
era that came of loose nails work
ing out of these boards.
The Manteo Rotary Club Mon
day night decided to hold no meet
ing for the next two weeks, but
will pay for the meals just the
same, one week to the ladies who
serve the dinner; the other to char
table causes favored by Rotary.
Rev. H r.. Ashmore, Methodist
minister, came out to be guest
speaker, and the members talked
so much there was only two min
utes left for his speech, and he had
to put it off until later.
Elmer Midget down at Fear
ings was delighted to note the
publicity that attended the ap-
pearance of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Moore at the Wright celebration
Monday. Up until a year or two
ago, John had been the forgotten
man of aviation. He and Mrs.
Moore were mighty important
guests at the return of the origi-
nal plane in Washington two years
ago, at which time he appeared on

deaths of 33 persons who drank
a deadly moonshine mixture of

Solicitor General Paul Webb an

In Pittsburgh to address a

Taft refused to comment on other

question of military spending. He
said the military spending pro-

adioControIM Measure
Signed by President
BY the Associated Press

President Truman has signed
legislation designed to permit the
closing down of radio devices Rus
sia might use to aim an atomic
bomb at the United States.
The bill approved yesterday
strengthens the power of the
President to shut down or control
radio facilities in time of war or
national emergency.
The law gives him this power
with respect to radio communica-
tions facilities. But Congress
passed a new measure on the
subject because the Defense De-
partment was fearful the control
powers might not extend to other
radio facilities from which elec-
tromagnetic radiations emanate.
These radiations could be ex-
cellent navigation aids to a po-
tential enemy, the department
told Congress.
The department said potential
enemies possess the atomic bomb
and are trying to develop long
range piloted aircraft ana gulued
missiles for carrying it.
electromagnetic radiations en-
anating from the British Isles
were used by the Germans to aim
their missiles in World War II.

ARE believed to be working to-
ward the development of equip
ment capable of utilizing electro
magnetic radiations to be used in
case of war with the United
States" the Defense Department

Publisher Says Eisenhower
Will Run If Duty CompeIs

NEW YORK, Oct. Is (P.-A
former New England publisher
says Gen. Eisenhower told him he
would run for President "if it were
a matter of duty"
Leonard v. Finder, who was ac-
tive in the short-lived Eisenhower
boom of 1948. wrote in Collier
Magazine that Gen. Eisenhower
would accept either Republican
or Democratic draft if sit is
clearly an expression of the
American peoples wishes"
Mr.. Finder said the general told
him recently:
You have always understood
that I do not want political Office
that I have done my best to avoid
lit; but that I would have to &C
|cept if it were a matter of duty
I have never placed myself above
my country's commands"
In 1948 Gen. Eisenhower sent
Mr.. Finder a famous letter in
which he said he could not accept
presidential nomination. He
said then that lifelong profess
sional soldiers should not seek
high political Office Gin the alb
Isence of some obvious and over
riding reason"
Mr.. Finder, who formerly pub
lished the Manchester IN. H.
Evening Leader, said he believed
on his own initiative and with
out pretense of any special au-
thorization" that the generals
sense of duty would compel him
to accept a draft.
Mr.. Finder said Gen. Eisen-
hover would be more disposed to
accept Republican than a Demo-
cratic nomination to run for Pres
ident next year. But if the Re-
Ipublicans pick Senator Taft of
Ohio. Mr.. Finder said Gen. Eisen-
hover would be willing to run
against him on the Democratic
ticket.
