DIAMOND BACK TERRAPIN
ARE CAUGHT ON COAST

Ocracoke. - During warm days
here recently number of hiber-
mating diamond back terrapins
have been caught, according to
Wilbur Gaskill. Unusually mild
weather is believed to have caused
the ;errapins, once considered a
rare delicacy, too come out of hi
bernation so early. Gaskill caught
IS diamondbacks in one day and
Jerd Williams, another islander,
has caught about 100 recently.
Once tcrrapins brought high prices
but the demand is not great today
and the price for them is much
lower than in the old days.

w. Va. Pulp & Paper Com
pany Announces Plans
For Development

The role of the North Carolina
Woodlands of Dare County in West
Virginia Pulp and Paper Com
pany's raw material supply pro-
gram is explained in the COM
pany's annual report released to-
day to stockholders and employ
. IS.
The North Carolina Woodlands
.nclude about 100000 acres &C
quired by the company in 1862.
William Ernst, Jr., with offices in
Manteo, is manager of the tim
berlands.
In his letter to stockholders, Da-
vid L. Luke, Jr., president of the
company, stated:
"The paper industry is still al
most completely dependent on
wood as its primary raw material.
While others and ourselves are
constantly examining possible al
tentative raw materials, there is
still no other known source of
fiber which is both as effective and
as economical as wood for paper
making uses. We anticipate that
this will be true for some time to
come.
Therefore, when we can do so
on an attractive basis, we add to
our holdings of timberlands. In
general, during the past year
prices for such lands were so high
as to make possibilities for furth-
er purchase unattractive. Howev-
er, in Dare County, North Caro-
lima, our wood department did find
the opportunity to purchase rough
ly 10000 acres of timberland at
a price low enough to make pos
sible what we hope will be a rea-
sonable return on the investment.
The price was low because of I'M
certainties regarding accessibility
and drainage of the property.
Therefore the purchase involved
a calculated risk, but so far our
initial assumptions appear sound
and we expect that this property
will provide further assurance of
wood supply adequate for our
future needs"
In a section of the report devoted
to problems of raw material sup
ply it was stated that the North
Carolina property, long idle and
to some extent damaged by fire in
the past, will now receive the same
careful control devoted to the COM
pany's other major timber hold
ings, more than 100000 acres in
South Carolina known as The
Southern Woodlands.
Very little wood is being cut on
ne company's Southern Wood
ands because, at the present time,
in common with the rest of the in
dustry, the company is able to pur-
chase most of its pulpwood re-
quirements from independent sup
pliers such as small woodlot own
ers and farmers. AS result of
this situation, much of the COM
pany effort is devoted to develop
ing these lands as source of fu-
ture supply.
Through such management prac-
tees as systematic cutting only
in balance with growth, planting
where growth is sparse, elimina-
ton of inferior trees and good fire
protection over a number of years,
the Southern Woodlands now are
in excellent condition. the report

Matthew'S Request
For Hearingt 10 Go
To Committee Soon

A request by j. B. Matthews
for a hearing to document his
charges of Communist infiltra-
ton Of the clergy will be placed
before the House Committee on
Un-American Activities prob
ably on Monday.
Representative Velde, Repub-
lican, of Illinois, the committee
chairman, yesterday received a
letter from Mr.. Matthews say
ing he would welcome an oppor-
tunity to testify "if my appear
ance is agreeable to your
members"
Mr.. Matthews resigned last
week as staff director of the SEN
ate Investigations Subcommittee
headed by Senator Mccarthy.
Asked Senate Hearing.
The resignation resulted from
a controversy over magazine
article written by Mr.. Matthews
before he joined the Mccarthy
subcommittee saying Protestant
clergymen formed the largest
single group supporting the Com
munist apparatus in the United
States.
In submitting the resignation,
Mr.. Matthews asked the Senate
group for a hearing. But the
Senate subcommittee decided
that it lacked Jurisdiction and
suggested that Mr.. Matthews
present his case to the House
committee.
Mr.. Velde said he would seek
to bring the request before the
committee Monday since "the
matter has assumed Importance
throughout the country"
The chairman said he person.
ally would favor a hearing for
Mr.. Matthews. He added, how
ever, that under no circum-
stances would he allow the COM
mittee ito get into a Protestant
Catholic or religious fight"
Public Reaction Cited.

Matthews wrote:

sideration. We now face up to
the future work Of our commit
tee and the responsibilities which
each of us share in meeting these
challenges and in performing our
duties"
Backs Routine Action"
Senator Mccarthy defended as
"a routine action" the Republi-
can action in voting him full hir-
ing and firing authority over the
subcommittee's personnel. He
cited other Senate committees
where the chairman has "un-
equivocal authority" to appoint
staff members and expressed the
hope that differences of opinion
about this would not keep the
Democrats from serving as men,
bers of the committee.

which are vague in your minds

tion," he wrote, I'VE assure you

parts Of the United States have
suggested that / appear before
the House Committee on IN
American Activities to present
exhaustive Recommendation on the
Communist infiltration Of the
clergy. I will welcome such an
opportunity.
Il feel that I should tell you
in advance that my article in
the American Mercury, which
occasioned the present con-
troyersy, is completely factual
and fully documented, and I
would so testify. AS you know,
it would require more than a
little time to present the evidence
adequately.
"It Is my firm conviction now.
as 1t has always been, that a
great service can be rendered the
vast majority of the Protestant
churches by the fullest exposure
Of the diabolical scheme of the
Communist Party to cloak its
conspiracy against the United
States by utilizing. among other
ways, that small minority of
clergymen who are careless or
contemptuous Of their sacred
VOWS"
Action Not Indicated.
There was no indication of
what action the House commit
tee would take. It skirted the
edges of controversy some weeks
ago after Mr.. Velde indicated
the committee might undertake
an investigation of the clergy.
Most Of the committee members
disavowed such intentions and
Mr.. Velde subsequently said he
had been misunderstood.
But Mr.. .Velde and some of
the other Republican members
of the committee became in
volved in a controversy with
Methodist Bishop G. Bromley
Oman. Mr.. Velde has scheduled
a hearing next Tuesday to hear
the bishop.
In the event the Matthews re-
quest should be granted a hear
ing would be held some time
after the Oman appearance.

J. B. Matthews as staff chief Of

Mr.. Matthews civil liberties.
The union suggested that Mr..
Matthews resignation may have
been offered and accepted un-

disqualifications.
Patrick Murphy Malin. execu-
tive director of the union, raised,
the question of a possible viola
ton Of Mr.. Matthews civil
rights in letters to the three re-
signed Democratic members Of
the Mccarthy subcommittee.
"As every one knows" Mr.. Ma
lin wrote, "the American Civil

ginning expressed grave disquiet
and resolute opposition to those
and only those things-which
Senator Mccarthy has said and
done adversely affecting civil lib

"We are therefore profoundly
glad that, at long last, a mani
fold and determined effort is
being made to bring his (Senator
McCarthy's) investigative activi-
ties within proper limits of con-
tent and method and influence.

IMcCorthy Invites Three Democrats to Reion COMMITTEES

Operations COMMITTEES, as web as
the District Committee.
Senator Mccarthy told report
ers he had not met the new Sem
ator, but added: "I would be very
happy to have him on the COM
mittee."
Senate Republicans have in
dicated a concern about the
situation that has developed in
Senator McCarthy's committee.
They have been reported as
urging some sort of conciliatory
step to bring Democratic rep-
reservations back into the most
controversial groups within the
Senate.
Less Than Conciliatory.
But the letter Of invitation
was something less than con-
ciliatory. and argued the justifi-
cation Of the position taken by
Senator Mccarthy and his Re-
publican colleagues.
Senator Mccarthy said the
Republicans had been fair and
generous" with the Democratic
minority and sought to place on
the Democratic Senators the
blame for stirring up the Mat
thews controversy and the re-
ligious issue it involved.
When the Democratic Sena-
tors raised the Matthews issue,
Senator Mccarthy said, he had
assured them that he would
take steps to handle the matter
IN a way designed to meet their
objections.
THAT was on Thursday before
the Fourth of july" Senator Nc
Carthy added, land assured
you that I would talk with DR..
Matthews over the holiday and
work out a solution agreeable
to you.
Il thought this suggestion met
with your approval. If it had
been followed this entire matter
would have been disposed of in
an orderly manner without the
Injection of partisan politics and
the tanning Of religious bigotry,
with resultant damage to the
regulations of all concerned"
Resignation Sought.
The Wisconsin Republican
said that within a half hour
after that conference the three
Democratic Senators notified
him they were issuing a state
ment calling for the resignation
Of Mr.. Matthews.
II again attempted to dis
suade you." Senator Mccarthy
wrote, from making such a
statement in the belief that to
create a religious issue when
there was none and to give this
situation a partisan complexion
would do injury to our churches,
to the work of the committee.
and to public opinion in this
country which might enormously
conclude our committee had
some intention of investigating
the churches.
Such, as you know, was never
my intention nor that of the
committee"
Senator Mccarthy did not
mention in his letter what par
ticular solution>of the matter he
had had in mind. But he pointed
out that he had discussed the
matter with Mr.. Matthews after
the issue arose and that Mr.
Matthews insisted that he should
be permitted to resign.

the removed COP economizer, and
his COP colleague, dour Cliff
Clevenger of Onio, have decided
that the Voice of America and the
State Departments propaganda ac-
tivitieS should remain in the State
Department. They think johnson
is doing a poor job, argue that set
ting up a separate agency would
create duplication, overlapping,
cost more money. And since these
two Congressman dominate the
House Appropriations Committee
they have a lot to say about reor-
ganization.
But johnson has been cuddling
up to Senator Mccarthy, has Nc
Carthy's OK to transfer most of
his propaganda activities to an in
dependent agency by presidential
decree. This would need no act
of Congress, would go to McCar-
thyS committee for emphatic ap-
proval.
But, though Mccarthy encourages
the transfer, some of Johnson'S
advisers point out that he has to
get along with the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee which passes
on all Foreign Policy matters and
which has already recommended
that the Voice remain in the State
Department. johnson, therefore, is
being urged not to bypass and Of
fend the Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
These are some of the problems
he threshed out with the President.
Eisenhower gave an immediate
OK, authorized an executive decree
taking all propaganda activities
out of the State Department.
What johnson may not realize,
however, is that, whether he works
through Mccarthy or through the
Senate Foreign Relations, whether
he is under the State Department
or independent, in any case he will
need appropriations. And when his
budget comes before the House
Appropriations Committee, penny
pinching Chairman Taber indicates
privately that he will assign the
matter to a subcommittee. That
subcommittee will consist of the
same unfriendly Congressmen-
Taber and Clevenger.
Meanwhile, with only 20 days
left before the fiscal year expires,
not one cent has been appropriat-
ed by Congress for the Voice of
America, for Student Exchange,
for The Information Services or
any other propaganda activity.
No wonder DR.. johnson is irri-
tated, aggravated, and frustrated.
