act, passed in 1910, permits hunt
ing on the waters of the sounds
included in the area; on Ocracoke
Island: and on not more than 1000
acres of other land which may be
designated by the Secretary OF the
Interior.
Large-scale maps of the project
are being made available for pub
lie inspection at Kill Devil Hill
National Memorial, on Bodie Is
land, at Fort Raleigh National
Historic Site on Roanoke Island,
and a number of other public
places near the project. In addl-
ton, the National Park Service
plans to hold a series OF public
meetings at the several Outer
Banks communities, in order to
give all interested residents an OPP
portunity to learn in detail about
the project.
Biologically, the area is of eX-
traordinary value and interest.
The myriads of migratory water
fowl that breed from the Atlantic
Coast of New England and Canada
northwestward to the northern
coast of Alaska, in migration
funnel down the eastern shore of
the United States, where they con
centrate in great numbers IN
| Culrituck. Albemarle and Pamlico
Sounds between the barrier islands
and the mainland of North Caro-
lima. These islands are some of the
! finest places on the coast to OBJ
serve the seasonal migrations of
the shore birds and other migra-
tory waterfowl.
Small fishing villages have re-
manned for many generations on
the protected, or sound, side of
these islands because of the eX-
ceptional patterns of fish migra-
tons at this point on the Atlantic
Coast. At Hatteras Island, the in
shore (summer) fishing grounds
and the offshore iwinter) fishing
grounds converge. Consequently,
these are exceptionally fine waters
for both sport and commercial
fishing
The barrier islands themselves
possess great variety of habitat
and landscape, including sandy
beach, grass covered dunes, i'm
mense bare sand dunes, salt and
fresh water marshes, and native
pine and oak forests, in addition
to considerable variety of native
grasses, marsh plants, shrubs and
trees.
Scenically, the superb expanses
of ocean beach, broken occasionally
by narrow inlets, and accented
here and there by Coast Guard
Stations, lighthouses, the great
sand dunes, and the picturesque
sheltered fishing villages, present
landscapes of rare and appealing
qualities.

HARRIS WOULD
DEVELOP SHORE
AT LEECHVIILE
Postmaster Thinks His part
of Pungo River Ideal
for Resort Purposes

With all the talk of development
of shore front property in the
Pamlico Country, Hal Harris,
Leechville postmaster comes for
ward with praises for the Pungo
River shores which he says is
ideal for recreation and year
round living. In fact Mr.. Harris
is one of the landowners of the
Pungo River shore, where he has
a mile or so of frontage.
"The Leechville section" says
Mr.. Harris, 'has much to offer,
with high land, good fishing, oys-
sters nearby, and cool breezes off
the water"
Leechville was once a town of
1900 people, Mr.. Harris says. 1t
was an important logging center
and had a large water trade be-
cause of its deep water and shell
tered harbor. All this was changed
when the Norfolk Southern rail
road built into Belhaven, and ter
minated on that towns water
front. Everything began to build
in Belhaven from then on, anC
Leechville declined.
But Mr.. Harris thinks there is
a new day coming to Leechville
due to good highways, and the
quest for shore and recreation
property.

hearing on custer charges against
Senator Mccarthy testified today
that the Lustron Corp. was heav-
lily in debt to the Government
when the corporation paid the
Senator $4,000 for a book on
housing. He said the firm was
then losing more than half mil
lion dollars a month.
George E. McConley, assistant
general counsel of the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corp. said RFC had
loaned the Columbus prefabricated
house manufacturers more than
$37 million before taking over
the assets in the spring of 1850.
Assets of the defunct corpora
ton have been acquired by the
Navy and other Government agen-
cies and a final accounting of the
debt has not been reached, Mr.,
McC Conley explained. 49,.
Mccarthy Not Present.
Senator Mccarthy. who was not
present at the opening session,
has stated that he wrote the book
for the corporation to help GIs
buy homes with Federal aid. The
Senator declared he worked for a
year preparing material for the
book and signed a contract to
keep the information up to date
for five years. He made no secret
of the fact that he received
$4,000.
Daniel D. Fisher, an investi-
gator for the Subcommittee on
Privileges and Elections, testified
Senator Mccarthy did not report
the $4,000 he received in Novem-
ber of 1948 in his Federal in
come tax return of that year
The Senator, however, did list
this income in his Federal re-
turn of 1949. Mr.. Fisher said.
Asked if the Senator paid a
penalty as a result, Mr.. Fisher
replied that Federal auditors
went over his returns and
charged him with the $4,000
item as income during 1948. An
additional charge of $4,947 was
made against Senator Mccarthy
Mr.. Fisher said. This was in pay
ment for the $4,000 unreported
lin 1948 and another item dis
allowed by the auditors. The lat
ter claim was for a deduction on
Interest payments. Mr.. Fisher
said.

Senate Leaves
Relief Secrecy
up 10 District
Measure to Simplify
Lows Administration
Is Sent to House
By Don S. Worren

The Senate today passed a new
and consolidated public assistance
law for the District that leaves
the question of secrecy for names
on the relief roster to be settled by
the commissioners.
The bill now goes to the House
and will be referred to its District
Committee for consideration.
The measure was passed by the
Senate with unanimous consent
and without debate.
The present Board of Commis-
sioners has been split over moves
to make the relief rolls public
under certain circumstances.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue has supported the Welfare
Boards stand for continued Sc
crecy Commissioner John Rus
sell Young and Engineer Commis-
sioner Bernard L. Robinson have
voted for publicity under certain
rules.
Camalier Holds Answer.
Since Commissioner Young is
retiring at the end of this month,
the final decision may be made
by his successor. Renah CANA
lier. already confirmed for the
post by the Senate.
Mr.. Camalier so far has with
held judgment, saying he did not
want to make his decision until
after he takes office.
Senate committee arguments
over the secrecy or publicity fea-
ture for the names of relief re-
|cipientS was dissipated recently
when the committee adopted a
compromise. This neither directs
that tight secrecy be maintained
nor directs the Commissioners to
make the names public.
This was deemed to follow the
pattern of the Jenner amendment
to the 1851 Revenue Act which
permitted States to make such lists
public without losing Federal
grants-in-aid. Since the Commis-
sioners head the city government.
the District Committee decided.
they are the ones to have general
discretion over the use of the lists
Of the relief recipients.
Safeguards Provided.
The new section of the measure.
giving the Commissioners author
ity to draft rules governing use
of the records, directs that they
shall provide safeguards. These
are intended to restrict the use
or disclosure of the relief lists ito
purposes directly connected with
the administration of public as
Sistance."
The section also adds that the
Commissioners are authorized, in
their discretion, Ito include in
such rules provision for the public
to have access to the records of
disbursements or payments Of
public assistance" made after the
effective date of the act.
The section also carries a pro-
hibition against use of any Of
such records "for commercial or
political purposes"
The bill has been sought by the
Board of Public Welfare and the
Commissioner for a dozen years.
1t repeals separate acts providing
for aid to dependent children, aid
to the needy blind and aid for the
aged. In place of these the bill
sets up a single law which District
officials say will simplify admin
istration of public assistance and
reduce costs.
