Under Chairman Mccarthy,
Mr.. Flanagan conducted the in

China but has not participated
in the Communist Investigations.
Since moving up to chief counsel
of the whole committee six
months ago, his work has been

Shared in Big Cases.
During his service, he has
shared in the May-Garrson case,
the investigation of Howard

Top Investigator, Leaving

Flanagan Believes
In Full Use of
Power to Investigate

A man whose Investigations
contributed to. some Of the most
spectacular congressional head
lines Of the past decade is leav-
ing his Senate job this week. And
he is still convinced that Con-
gress should use its investigative
powers as fully as possible.

the Senate Government Opera
tons Committee is Francis D
Flanagan. a former FBI agent.
who started his Capitol service
in 1945 as chief investigator for
the Senate War Investigating
Committee.
Since then, he ha, served un-
der six chairmen-three Demo-
Gratis and three Republicans-as
chief investigator. then chief as
Sistant counsel and then counsel
of the Senate War Investigating
Committee: its successor. the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee and finally. the parent
group, the Government Opera
tons Committee.
Aide to HALEY.
He has probably lasted longer
than any other congressional in
vestigator in a top job. He was
No. 2 man and finally successor
to Rudolph HALEY, who came
back as counsel for the Kefauver
Crime Committee: George Mea-
der. now a member Of Congress
from Michigan and William P.
Rogers, now deputy Attorney
General. Mr.. Flanagan is join
ing w. r. Grace & Co. here.
The Rogers-Flanagan combi-
nation used to faScinate congress
sional observers. AS they built
their cases, the high point of
the allegations usually came
when Mr.. Rogers called Mr..
Flanagan to the witness stand.
The question-and-answer session
that followed would expose the
core of the. investigation. When
it was over, Mr.. Flanagan would
resume his place beside Mr.. Rog-
ers as assistant chief counsel.
In all the investigations in
which he shared, Mr.. Flanagan
mainly dealt with fraud and
corruption in Government-and
some big names got in the act.
But Mr.. Flanagan said that in
his whole experience. he never
saw the chairman of the in
vestigating committee call off a
case of any Importance for po-
tlitical reasons.
Recalls Pressure.
He recalled that the most
pressure WAS brought to bear on
the then Senator Mead of New
York to go easy on the war
fraud investigation of the Carr
son brothers and the then Chair
man May of the House Military
Affairs Committee. Pressure
came from congressional COL
leagues, from the executive
branch and from friends outside
Government. The case took 18
months to develop but the Carr

Bodie Island Lighthouse, long

Gently moved to Manteo, discov-
cred this puzzling phenomenon
several years ago. Mrs. Bardin
was making a sketch of the light
house from across the. sound in
Wanchese while DR.. Bardin was
taking pictures. He took view
of his wife at her drawing with
the lighthouse in the back
ground.
Later in the winter after re-
turning to Charlottesville where
DR.. Bardin was professor of Ian
guages at the University of Vir-
ginia, Mrs. Bardin wanted to
complete her drawing. Uncertain
about some detail, she consulted
her husbands picture.
Then it was that she discover
ed the camera sometimes does
lie. Her sketch showed the
stripes going horizontally around
the light while the picture in
dictated them plainly spiral.
''We didn't know what to make
of it,, says Mrs. Bardin. i was
sure that 1 had painted the
stripes accurately, yet here was
the actual photograph to show
that l hadn't. We tried every
possible source to find out how
the light was painted. knew the

so how could the Bodie Island

REALLY LOST HIS
PANTS ON THIS
CLAMMING TRIP
Then Spends Night In Inlet
When No Aid Shows Up

If anyone ever wonders what
it feels like to literally lose your
pants, there's a man in Manteo
who can tell you.
Ronald Lewark and G.. G.. Bon
ner of Manteo, and Albert Evans,
formerly of Manteo, but now liv-
ing upstate, decided to go clam
ming down at Oregon Inlet last
Sunday. Just how the claiming
was, no one seems to know, but
there's one episode that won't be
long forgotten.
It seems that about 4 o'clock
Sunday afternoon they were
ready to start back home, and
the engine of their boat devel-
oped trouble. No matter to worry
about, they thought, since some
one would be along very shortly
and tow them to shore. No one
did come, so as dark was coming
! on, Bonner thought a signal OF
some sort would summon aid.
Only thing available at the time,
happened to be someon's pants,
, so Bonner pulled off his pants
and attached them to the end Of
a seven-foot oar with a nail, and
went to waving. Apparently no
one saw the pants on the oar,
for no aid came. After waving
quite a while, strong gust of
wind came along and away went
the pants. Dark was on the group
by now, so the only thing to do
was to wait for someone to come
looking for them.
Dan Lewark, brother of Rom
aid, and Nevin Wescott of Man
teo, finding that they had not
| come in, went in Lewark' s
cruiser to look for them. After
| attempting for sometime to see
the boat and men, they gave up

SCHOOLS SET FOR
OPENING SEPT. 7
IN DARE COUNTY
Superintendent Evans Calls
Attention to Requirements
For First Grade Students

Mrs. Mary L. Evans, Superin-
tendent of Dare County Schools,
wishes to call attention to seve-
raj matters concerning the open
ing of schools.
l. 1t is necessary for a child to
become six years of age on or
before October Is in order to en-
ter school. (The Attorney Gene
raj has ruled that any child born
on October 16 would become six
on October Is, and would, there
fore, be eligible for the first
grade.
2. All children entering the
first grade must have been vac
cinated for smallpox and inn
munized against typhoid, whoop-
ing cough and diphtheria.
8. All first graders must pre-
sent birth certificates upon en-
rollment.
The Dare County Schools will
begin the 1954-55 school term on
Tuesday, September 7. On Mon
day, September 6, at 1000 am.
all principals will meet at the
Manteo School for pre-school
conference.
All school building repairs
have not been completed, but
completion is anticipated before
September Z. A recent rumor
that the roof at the Buxton
School had collapsed was erron-
eous. Some ceiling in the audi
torium had buckled but that has
been repaired.
Mr.. B. H. Stephens, architect
for the Dare County Board OF
Education, reported last week
that nearly all necessary speci-
fications for the construction Of
the Cape Hatteras School had
been completed and that con-
tracts would be let sometime In
September.
Unless unexpected resigna-
tions are received before Sep
TENDER 7, all school positions
have been filled. The complete
list is as follows:
