FORMER WANCHESE MAN
SAYS HE SAW FIRST FLIGHT

Calvin V. Davis of Norfolk, and
formerly of Wanchese, who was a
visitor in Manteo this week, be-
lieves his father-in-law is the "for-
gotten man" of the first flight.
Jesse M. Rogers, who for many
years lived at Wanchese, and who
is the father-in-law of Mr.. Davis,
says according to c. V. Davis, that
the day of the first flight he was
member of the crew of Caffey
Inlet Life Saving Station, and
rode his horse down to Kill Devil
Hill and was present on the oc-
casion of the flight. Mr.. Rogers
is now 80 years old.
According to official records, the
last witness of the first flight, to
die was John Moore of Colington.
At the time of the flight, Orville
Wright said he made a list of the
names of all who were present on
the grounds, as it was an i'm
portant subject with him and his
brother. There were some flights
made in 1908 at Kill Devil Hills,
and in 1912. A number of people
have come forward in recent years
to state they saw the first flight.
Some of them, it developed, were
depending on memory and had seen
some of the later flights.
Mr.. Rogers claim is worth look
ing into, for with proper substan-
tiation, he can become an impor-
tant man in aviation circles, and
it is well worth looking into.

Greater School Funds
Urged by Mrs. Meyer
BY the Assoeiated Press

DENVER, Jan: S1.-A sug-
gestion that the Federal Govern
ment turn back a greater share
of its tax revenues to States to
enable them to improve their
public schools was made today by
Mrs. Eugene Meyer, wife Of the
chairman of the board of the
Washington Post.
Mrs. Meyer, a member of the
National Citizens Commission
for the Public Schools, is in Den
yer for a meeting Of the group.
She spoke at a panel discussion.
"The tax load now favors the
Federal Government, but much
of that money should be remitted
to the States to let them do a
more efficient job in Govern
ment," she declared.
Mrs. Meyer is a member of a
commission subcommittee study
ing availability Of teachers in
the United States. She said there
is currently a shortage of 1885,
600 classroom teachers and this
lag continued to mount every
year.
'"The Nation needs to spend
$40 billion in the next 10 years
to provide 100000 more class
rooms" Mrs. Meyer said.

March of Dimes Stunt Costs
Grocer $50; But He's Happy

7 CHURUBUSCO, Ind, Jan. 10.
A $40 publicity stunt cost Grocer
John Shelton $135 this week
end, but he was happy-the
money went to the March of
Dimes to help fight polio.
Mr.. Shelton advertised that he
would give 10 cents to the
March of Dimes for every child
who entered his store yesterday
and today. He expected about
100, but the community con-
spired against him.
Principal Woodrow w. Inks
dismissed school yesterday long
enough for the pupils to visit
Mr.. Shelton. A kindergarten
teacher decided it would be a
good time for a field trip to a
grocery Mr.. Shelton's, of
course, Nearby communities got
into the act today.
The grocer estimated he had
passes out dimes to 1850 chill
dren-more than the 1892 pop
ulation Of this Northest Indiana
town-but he wasn't sorry.
AS soon as each youngster re-
ceived his dime from Mr.. Shell
ton he dropped it into a polio
fund collection box.
Il hope can make it an an
nual affair."" Mr.. Shelton said,
Just to see those kids marching
down the street-it's something
wonderful.

7 7oipeh Expects Red Air Raids
If u. S. Lifts Navy Blockade

Give US the tools and we will
finish the job of reconquering
Red China" he said in a para
phrase Of Winston Churchill's
ringing appeal in 1899.
Hold More Than 30 Islands.
The Nationalists hold more
than 80 islands of the China
coast, considered of great mill
tary value. From these islands
they are potentially able in the
opinion of military experts, Of
launching diversionary attacks
along a long stretch Of coast.
In the last year they have been
used as bases for small scale
raids on the mainland and for
island to island warfare. The
most notable raid was a three
day fight last October on Nanjih
Island. in which 811 prisoners
were taken.'
The Nationalist defense minis
try announced last month that
guerrilla hit-run raids inflicted
Il, tat casualties on the Commu-
niStS in IL months ending last
October. There were 3,025 pris-
onerS taken.
However, any Nationalist
counterattack on the Red main
land would require substantial
increases of the present flow of
war supplies to Formosa.
Hampered By PriOrities.
United States military aid,
hampered by priorities for Korea
and elsewhere, have not been
adequate for re-equipping more
than few of Gen. Chiang's
better divisions.
The Air Force needs strength
ening and modernization, par
ticularly with jet planes, some
Nationalists pilots are now in
the United States receiving jet
training.
The Nationalist navy also is
small and like the Air Force, has
enough personnel to man many
more craft than it possesses.
Nevertheless, it is capable of
transporting troops and supplies
to island bases from which COM
mando raids could be made.
Reds Bolster Defenses.
The most important of these
island bases is uiemoy, near Red
held Annoy on the Fukien Coast.
The Communists have been re-
ported strengthening coastal de-
fenSes in recent months and
probably have about 200, 900 men
south Of Shanghai. These in
clude three armies of Gen. Chen
Yi's Sd Field Army and one group
from Gen. Lin Piao's 4th Field
Army.
The Reds also have been re-
ported installing radar-controlled
anti-aircraft guns of Russian
manufacture along the coast and
clearing civilians out of threat
ened areas.

Rx the As,ocinfad Pras,


TAIPEH. Formosa, Sunday,
Feb. Reports that the United
States may lift its 30-month-
old naturalization of Formosa
brought immediate speculation
yesterday of bigger Nationalist
air and commando raids on the
mainland of Red China and
probable Communist air attacks
on this stronghold of General
isSimo Chang Kai-shek.
The feeling seemed general
that d long period of enforced
tranquility brought by vigilant
patrols of the United States Sew
ents Fleet. was about to end.
There were no official COM
ments from Gen. Chiang's
headquarters. Unoff1cially it was
felt that whatever American ac-
ton might develop would cause
the Reds a lot of worry.
No Abandonment Seen.
The new strategy appeared to
be based on this reasoning:
every plane and soldier the Chi
nese Reds use against the Ma
tionalists Is that much less
available for employment in
Korea, Southeast Asia or else
where.
No one here thinks that re-
lease of the 7th Fleet. if ordered
by President Eisenhower, would
signify in any sense American
abandonment of Formosa, Gen.
Chiang's stronghold since De-
cember, 1949.
On the contrary it is believed
that developments are in the
making which in the long run
will prove greatly to Nationalist
China's advantage.
It was expected that the Chi
nese Nationalist government
would be informed in advance of
any decision by President Eisen-
hover releasing the 7th Fleet
from duty off Formosa.
Official quarters gave the i'm
preston yesterday afternoon
that no such notice had yet been
received.
Truman Notice Given to Chang.
When former Presidents Tru-
man decided June 27, 1850, to
assign the 7th Fleet to safeguard
Formosa from Communist inva-
sion and bar Chinese Nationalist
operations against the mainland,
prior notice was conveyed direct
ly to President Chang by Rob-
ert Strong, United States Charge
d'Affaires.
At present the Communists do
not appear capable of invading
Formosa, so retaliations, if any,
to Nationalist raids most likely
would take the form of air raids
on this island.
Observers say the Nationalists
almost Immediately could do
three things:
l. Renew bombing of the Com
munist mainland.
z. Stage commando-type raids.
3. Place an effective blockade
on the China coast, possibly with
the help of United States NAVY
and Air Force ships and planes,
Assessed at 100000.
The chief of the joint general
staff, Gen. Chou Chi-jou, and
other high Nationalist officers
more than once have assessed
the number of Gen. Chiang's
men in uniform at around
100000.
Possibly it would take weeks
or even months before any whole
divisions could be thrown into
any Nationalist assault on the
mainland.
There is no indication this
would be undertaken unless as
a Spearhead of a full-fledged
invasion.
Gen. Chang himself went on
record toward the end of 1852
in saying that preparations fo1
a Nationalist counteroffensive
would be completed this year

City Heads Asked 10 Ban
Restaurant Segregation

The Co-ordinating Committee
for the Enforcement of the Dis
trict Anti-Discrimination Laws
is currently circulating a petit
ton calling on the District Com
missioners to abolish segregation
in eating places here, according
to Mrs. Mary Church Terrell
committee chairman.
Two 10th century laws making
it unlawful to refuse service to
people because of color were de-
clared invalid last week by the
United States Court of Appeals
for the District Of Columbia.
The petition urges that the
Commissioners draft a new or

ported going back and forth be-
teewn Formosa and the island
Of Annoy, close by the mainland
coast. and to other points. No
count has ever been kept on the
number who might not return to
Formosa.
But the Nationalists have COM
paratively few small vessels
available to them. Former Navy
Secretary Dan Kimball was
asked whether the Nationalists
could invade the Red mainland
after he made a visit to For
mosa last year. "They haven't
any chance to go to the main
land unless we take them" he
replied.
However, a formal announce
ment of the lifting Of the ban
Chaing could leave the Asiatio
Red strategists worried, con-
fronted with the possibility Of
accompanying positive action by
the United States forces to make
possible a big scale move against
coastal ports and rail lines over
which supplies move to support
operations in Korea and Indo-
China.
Therefore, lifting of the patrol
might be of more immediate
psychological or political advan-
tage than strategic or military.
Admiral Leahy made his state
ment on the reported plan after
a 15-minute talk with President
Eisenhower but the 77-year-old
five star admiral said the sub
ject had not been discussed in
his talk with the Chief Execu-
tive.
If President Eisenhower takes
the action, he apparently will
meet strong support in Congress,
With some few exceptions,
members of both parties ap-
plauded the prospect.
Senator TAFT said that II the
7th Fleet is ordered out of the
Formosa Strait it would leave
open the possibility of a future
blockade of the China coast by
United States warships.
"The order apparently doesn't
imply that there will be any
blockade" Senator Taft said,
"but it certainly leaves open the
possibility"
Senator Taft said he did not
know how the administration
stands on having the fleet con-
tinue to guard Formosa against
possible Communist attack, but
added:
II have never regarded any
such attack as a great threat"

Alert Paper Carrier
Helps Trap ProWIer

The alertness of a 14-year -old
newspaper carrier for The Star
enabled police to capture a
youth who had broken into the
basement of a drugstore early
yesterday.
The boy, Arthur Hayes, OF

awakened by the sound of
smashing glass at 1880 am. He
went downstairs and saw a youth
going into the basement Of thee
Stadium Pharmacy, 100 Nine
teenth street Sc.
He called police who arrived
to find the youth still in the

Police discovered the prowlel
was a 17-year-old colored boy,
He was turned over to juvenile
authorities. Nothing, apparently
was taken from the drugstore.

World War II. United States

then were aimed at negotiating
an end to the Communit-Na-

After the Reds took over the
Chinese mainland, some critics
contended the United States had
failed to give adequate support
to the Nationalists. The Truman
administrations rebuttal was
that the support had been ade-
quate and that China fell because
the Nationalist government
