MANY CHANGES
IN POSTOFFICES
HYDE-BEAUFORT
Improvements in RID Ser
vice Planned; Several
Offices To Go Out

Unofficial information current
through Hyde County and eastern
Beaufort indicate that several post
offices will be discontinued about
February l, while additions and
improvements will be made to RID
routes; Kilkenny, in Tyrrell, now
served out of Fairfield three times
week will have daily service.
Lake Landing, Gulrock and Pom
ger postoffices in Hyde will be dis
continued, along with Ransomville,
Leechville, Pungo and Pike Road
in Beaufort and Wenona in Wash
ington. Patrons of the first three
in Hyde will be served from Engel-
hard and a mailing station will be
maintained at Middletown. Fair
field will get two in, and two out
mails day. RID service out of
this office around the Lake" will
be improved.
Ransomville will be served out
of the Belhaven office, but a rural
mailing station will probably be
maintained at RansomvilIe. Leech-
vile and PIONEER will be served out
of Belhaven. Wenona, Pungo and
Pike Road will be served out of
Pantego.
The changes are expected to
effect a saving of $4,000 a year,
in the cost of operation. Some of
the postmasters affected are ele-
gible for retirement, and others,
may in some instances operate
rural stations by contract, or serve
as rural carriers.

5 in Oslo Die as Landslide
Crushes Bus, Halls Train
By the Associated Press

OSLO, Norway, Oct. 8.-Five
persons died yesterday in land
slide which ripped away part of
a highway near Oslo and left
800 feet of railway track adjoin-
ing it suspended in the air.
Four were killed when tons
of clay and stone crashed on a
crowded bus. The fifth victim
was a passenger on a commu-
ter train which stopped with
screeching brakes only 70 feet
from the railway abyss. He died
in a hospital from shock.
The railway tracks and the
highway ran side by side for a
couple of hundred yards at the
foot of a steep hill. Five motor
cars were caught with the bus
in the slide and six persons were
injured. Several houses in the
area were hit and one over
turned, but all the persons in
side escaped.
A railway inspector blamed a
soft roadbed on the highway,
which recently had undergone
extensive repairs. He said that
when the road sank, the track
bed also gave in"

Information Freedom
Urged by Expert as
Constitutional Right
ey the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Oct. 8.-Dr. Har-
old L. Cross, nationally promi-
nent lawyer. voiced a plea today
for recognition of freedom of in
formation "as a constitutional
right indeed, as the very
foundation stone of freedom of
speech and of the press"
"ItS status as such has been
forgotten, neglected too long,"
said the New York specialist in
newspaper law. in a speech to a
conference on freedom of lrfor-
nation sponsored by Virginia AS
sociated Press newspapers and
radio stations.
News, Judiciary and Police.
DR.. Cross spoke to an audience
of news media spokesmen and
prominent members of the judi
ciary and law enforcement agen-
cies from throughout Virginia,
assembled for day-long discus
Sions of mutual problems and
ways to improve cooperation.
The conference was called by
the Freedom of Information
Committee of Virginia As
sociated Press members in the
belief that democratic processes
can best be secured by making
public business the public S
business.
DR.. Cross said freedom of in
formation as a constitutional
right stands hardly our
threshold seeking the way to
recognition. The first amend
ment is on the road ahead. The
function of the press is to carry
the torch"
Sees No Split Intentions.
The history and nature of the
struggle for freedom of speech
and of the press, DR.. Cross said,
bars any notion that the men
of 1871 =. intended, on the
one hand, to guarantee freedom
to disseminate information
about Government but, on the
other hand, to leave that Gov
ernment in position at will to
abridge the freedom to acquire
such information and thus to
fetter their grant into futility."
:. 1t is not enough that, by
virtue Of official grace or Gus
tom, some information, even in
relatively substantial colume does
become available, he said. It is
not enough that here and there,
by dint of persistent effort,

declare certain records and pro-

Await Hearings in
New Market Theft

Don R. Simpson, SIS, a director
Of the Citizens National Bank
Of New Market, Va, and his
nephew face preliminary hear
ing at Tampa, Fla, tomorrow on
charges of fleeing with the
banks funds.
The Federal Bureau of In
veStigation said its agents ar
rested Simpson and the nepnew,
Charles Raymond Simpson, 81,
at the Bonaire Motel in Tampa
yesterday. They had been the
objects of an international police
search since September %.
The FBI said $10,82O, of the
$34 500 in currency taken from
the bank two weeks ago had
been recovered. Also taken was
some $4,000 in Vegetables, the
FBI reported.
Bonds Fixed Total S15O, 200.
Bond was fixed at 100000 for
the elder Simpson and $4,000
for his nephew.
Preliminary hearing is sched-
uled tomorrow at Harrisonburg,
Va, for Theodore R. Beahm,
vice president and cashier of
the bank, and former mayor of
New Market. He is under
$4,000 bond at New Market in
connection with the same case.
Beahm and Don Simpson are
accused of entering the bank
after closing hours on Septem-
ber 26 and taking the currency
from its vaults, They left for
Canada in an automobile driven
by Charles Simpson, who had
been a chauffeur for his uncle in
New Market, the FBI said.
The nephew is charged with
aiding and abetting the theft.
Beahm Came Home.
Beahm, former Mayor OF New
Market who has spent "a years
as an employe of banks there
and Luray, Va, without blem-
1sh on his record, soon had a
change of heart, the FBI said.
The agents declared he returned
home two days later and notified
them that the elder Simpson
had forced him, at gun point, to
take part in the scheme.
Later he changed the story,
the FBI said, and told the agents
that the vault was cleaned out
under a preconceived plan. He
has resigned his position and is
charged with bank robbery and
violating other Federal laws.

3 Nations Send
InterparliamentarY
Union De|egatesH Here
BY the Associated Press

Flags of 80 nations we're un-
furled today in the historic
House chamber to provide a col
orful background for the 42d
annual conference of the Inter-
parliamentary Union, opening
here tomorrow.
But the banners of two other
nations, Poland and the exile Re-
public of Spain. were absent
Neither of those governments
were invited to attend this years
conference. AS the host country
the United States had discretion
over the 1858 invitations.
There was a possibility that
delegates from the Republic of
Spain, which was banished by
Generalissimo Franco after the
Spanish civil war, might seek ad-
mission. Their headquarters are
in Paris.
Conference officials said the
Spanish republic had named
delegates through the unions
council, or governing body, but
whether the delegates would
show up was unknown. AS a
member of the union, the Re-
public of Spain is entitled to
representation on the council,
even though it was not invited
to the conference itself.
The, United States recently
concluded an agreement with
Franco Spain providing for
United States economic and
military assistance in return for
air and naval bases there.
Nothing else appeared likely
to disturb the normally peaceful
operations of the union, which
acts as an international debating
society dedicated to seeking
peaceful settlement of disputes
among nations. Its members
are present or former members
of the legislatures of the world.
Registration of delegates got
off to a slow start, but most of
the $50 invited representatives
were expected to sign in before
the initial conference meeting

Several Democratic Senators
said today confusion is being

Mr.. Wilson voiced doubt on
Tuesday that Russia would be
able to carry on sustained atomic
warfare within three years, and
he said he thought this country
had lead of three or four years
on the Soviets in atomic weapons
development.
Gen. Eisenhower told his news

sorting out in his own mind
how to approach the subject and
eventually would tell the people
frankly what he had concluded
about world tensions and the

ments on Tuesday. II have q

whether the Russians have an

Russia has enough deliverable"
hydrogen bombs to create immi-
nent danger to the United
States.
At his home in Bath, N. Y,
Mr.. Cole said last night he had
not changed his opinion but,
recognizing a variance between
his views and Mr.. Wilson'S, he
said it was apparently an hon.

on facts that are subject to in
depreciation"
Senator Kefauver said the ad-
ministration should take prompt
steps ito clear up the apparent
contradictions in statements
made by its high spokesmen
within the past few days, and
