During the 1905 workmen
discovered a concealed closet in

contained the bleached skeleton
of a woman. No authentic in

Various explanations advanced

the effect that some member of
the family had been of unsound
mind, with the result that she
was confined within the home

Mrs. Wohl said she had been
informed that the "ghost"
glimpsed occasionally on the
premises appeared to be an eld-
erly man dressed in black with
starched white "stock" collar.
She added that this shade may
be laid to rest when the home is

Reds, General Says
Ry The As.eeluted Pres.

NEW YORK, Feb. An
American general close to Chang
Kai-shek's Chinese Nationalist
forces says they would need the
United States Nays help for
any real offensive against the
Chinese mainland from For
mosa.
Mai. Gen. William C. Chase,
chief Of the United States milf
tary advisory group in Formosa,
expressed this view in an inter-
view published in. Newsweek
Magazine.
He said the United States
Navy would be needed for
preparatory bombardment and
for logistical support.
Gen. Chase said Chiang's troops
aren't yet ready to play in the
big leagues" but could be ready
by the end Of this year.
Depends on United States.
1T all depends on the United
States Government, on how
quickly the new administration
sends more hardware and on
how many more military adj
visers it sends. Good as these
men are, they still need more
equipment and they could do
with more training. if the
administration is willing to
make the effort. these men could
be ready to play in the big
leagues by the end of this year. !"
Gen. Chase said the National
lists are capable Of putting a di-
vision on the Chinese mainland
and keeping it there for three
days, without help.
Air Force Also Needed.
However" he added, "for q
real offensive they'd need the
United States Navy. They'd need
1t for any preparatory lombard
ment and they'd need it for
logistical support.
IF our present expansion
plans are carried out. they'll
have enough air force to give
the invading troops close ground
support, but for strategic bomb
ing they'd probably need help,
too"
President Eisenhower said in
his state-of-the- Union message
Monday that the American 7th
Fleet no longer would be en-
ployed ito shield Communist

Formosa and the mainland in
June, 1850, to neutralize this

CITY APPLICATION
FOR POWELL FUND
BASED ON ROADS
Xii Devil Hills Has 42.31 Miles
of Streets Plus State Highway

Kill Devil Hills. = The newly
incorporated town of Kill Devil
Hills has 42.31 miles of streets,
in addition to the 7.36 miles of
state highway that passes
through the community.
Out of the total mileage, 34.81
miles are unsurfaced, .88 miles
has stone or gravel surface and
6.62 miles is hard surfaced. This,
plus the part of Highway 1873
that runs through the commun-
ity gives the town 1857 miles of
streets.
This information was complied
to present to the state with an
application for Powell fund mon
ey to build or improve streets. 1t
can be used for nothing else.
Kill Devil Hills mayor and COM
missioners hope to be granted
between $500 and$4,0 900.
If the commissioners carry out
ideas expressed in previous meet
ings, much of this money will
be used to pave streets from the
highway to the ocean. This would
not only benefit property owners
on the west side of the highway,
and their summer tenants, but
would also help to take care of
the Sunday visitors. The streets
paved will be wide enough for
parking on both sides, with a
turn-around at the ocean end.
Although there are about 80 of
| these streets to the ocean, the
commissioners have expressed
the wish to pave at least four in
the next year
All the streets in Kill Devil
Hills have names, though not
many residents could identify
them. In some cases, names may
have to be changed because of
duplication in various develop
ments.
