HATEFUL HAZEL HAD MANY PEERS
AMONG HER PREDECESSOR IN 200
YEARS ALONG CAROLINA COAST

ia Narciso, August 1851; San Mar
cIso, October 1867; San Felipe (the
hrst) September 1876; San Ciria-
co, August 1899 and San Felipe
lthe second) September 1925"
Our hurricane spoilers in recent
years have adopted pleasant
sounding feminine names to iden-
tify the storms. Where scores of
persons lost their lives in path of
hurricane Hazel, most of those
historic sanity named storms
claimed the lives of thousands.
San Ciriaco was the hurricane
which old timers along the Outer
Banks still remember as "the Au-
gust storm of 49," You will find
many along the coast today who
claim that the most recent hurri-
cane, whether the whopper of SO,
the big one in 1914 (Which caused
tides to rise seven feet above nor
NAL in less than an hour and the
no-lady that was known as Hazel,
as being "the worst" of all. Dur
ing half a lifetime for me, since
1928 to be exact, the biggest of all
storms if one listens to the old
timers, was San Ciriaco-the Au-
gust hurricane of 1899 David Stick
in his Graveyard of the Atlantic
lists seven vessels that were lost
on the North Carolina coast dur
ing this great storm-the "Aaron
Reppard, Florence Randall, Lydia
Willis, Fred Walton, Robert w.
Dasey, Priscilla, and the lightship
driven ashore from Diamond
Shoals; six others disappeared at
sea without a trace-John c.
Haynes, M. B. Millen, Albert
Schultz, Elwood H. Smith, Henry
B. Cleaves and Charles NJ. Pat
terson." Many lives were lost but
the old timers will emphasize that
no resident of the Outer Banks
was killed or drowned. AS matter
of fact, the Outer Banks, so the
natives will tell you, are the safest
place in the world during hurri-
canes. 1t may not make good sense
but they'll explain why-some-
thing to do with sea and sound
tides meeting on fiat surface, not
cliffs or rockbound hills.
The late Big Ike O'Neal of Ocra-
coke, who died recently at near
ninety, used to tell a humorous
anecdote about the storm of '99.
Hal Boyle of the AP used the yarn
in one of his famous columns.
Said Big Ike:
The tides were rising fast and
my ole dad, fearful that our house
you'd wash from it's foundations,
said: Here son, take this axe and
scuttle the floor / began chop
ing away and finally knocked a
hole in the floor. Like big foun-
tain the water gushed in and hit
the ceiling and on top of the gush-
er was a mallard duck that had
gotten under our house as the
tides pushed upwards"
Mrs. Rondthaler of Ocracoke in
her report on Hazel stated that
the old folks of the island who
remembered, said the sea ocean
and not sound) tides were higher
than any storm since 1913. Con-

meeting in Atlanta Monday. The
meeting was called by the cooper
atives to discuss a u. S. Dept. OF
Interior proposal that would force
the coops to buy power from priv
ate companies.
The REA contends that any such
act would violate the Flood Con-
troll act of 1914 and there has been
some talk of carrying the ruling
to the Supreme Court if il is
forced upon the REA.
The Eastern N. c. Electric Mem
bership Coop was formed for the
purpose of generating and trans
hitting power to cooperatives. II
is composed of II various coops
and Mallard represents one of
these organizations. He stated that
the power companies refuse to
wheel government power to CO.
operative lines but that the coops
were now buying power from the
private companies. The REA has
been trying to make arrangements
for purchasing its power from

World Court 10 Rule
On Tiny Belgian Bridge

BRUSSELS, Dec. 8 (NANA).-
The Belgian Foreign Ministry
has been called on to guard a
bridge against French dyna-
miters.
Center of the dispute, the
bridge-a 12-foot stone span
crosses a tiny frontier stream.
A farmer brought in the COM
plant that French customs off,
cials had charged smugglers
were using the bridge. To stop
the smuggling. the French said
they'd blow UP their half of the
bridge. They obtained pernis-
sion from a court at Lille.
The officials at the ministry
assured the worried farmer that
the French couldn't possibly
blow up their feet of the
bridge without damaging Bel
gums 6 feet-and this would be
o breach of international treaty
If the French did go ahead
anyway. officials at the foreign
ministry said, they planned tc
take the case to the World Court
at The Hague.

Acting Chief Of Staff,
Popular. With U.s.,
Faces Shift in Saigon

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
Dec. 9.-Premier Ngo Dinh Diem
has asked Brig. Gen. lie Van Ty
TO take over as the Vietnamese
army's chief of staff and shunted
the acting chief, a young general
who has made hit with the
French and Americans, to an
other job.
Mr.. Diem wants Gen. Ty. to
succeed Gen. Mguyen Van Hinh,
whose custer two weeks ago by
ex-Emperor Bao Dai, South Wet
Mans chief of state, ended
paralyZing government army
deadlock of 10 days.
Gen. Ty did not accept the
tough post Immediately, but
promised to answer the Pre-
mier's bid within three days.
Mr.. Diem yesterday simultane-
ously appointed Gen. Nguyen
Van Wy, who has been acting
chief OF staff, to be inspector
general Of the armed forces. AS
such he will pass on the conduct
and efficiency of all units in the
200, ,000-man force. He succeeds
French Gen. Marcel Alessandri.
Objected to as French Citizen.
Gen. Wy was known to have
been the candidate of the United
States and France to head the
army staff. He is considered
more energetic than Gen. Ty.
But Mr. Diem objected that Gen.
Wy, longtime aide to Bao Dai,
is a French citizen and conse-
quently would be fair game for
criticism by South Wet Nam
nationalists and Communist
propagandists.
There has been unrest in the
Army since Gen. Hinh, a critic
of the Premier's methods of op-
posing the Communist threat
from the north. finally went to
France on direct orders from Bao
Dai. The trouble apparently was
centered in the lack of perma-
nent leadership at the top.
Gen. j. Lawton Collins, former
United States Army Chief of
Staff and now special Ambassa-
dor to Wet Nam, and Gen. Paul
Ely. French commander, are dis
cussing with Mr.. Diem details
or American participation in
training South Wet Mans army.
Red Buildup Reported.
United States Secretary of
State Dulles and British Foreign
Secretary Eden both have ex-
pressed concern over reports that
the Wet Mini, which controls
North Wet Nam, is increasing
It's armed forces in violation of
the Geneva agreements ending
the Indo-China war.
However, a highly placed
French source said today there
have been on fragrant violations
of the Geneva pact by the Wet
Mini since the neutral three
nation armistice control commits
sion arrived. He said, however
that Chinese Communists speed
ed up deliveries of anti-aircraf'
and field artillery and artillery
shells Immediately after the
armistice was signed July 21 and
before the control teams were
present to intervene.

Air Force Agent Was Fired
For Leak to House Probers

This was revealed today after

Background Of Case.
Meanwhile, The Star learned
this background Of the case:
At the time the House COM
mittee was taking testimony
about a subject, with whom the
FBI file was concerned, the bu-
reau sent copies of the docu-
ment to various executive agen-
cies that might be interested.
One was the Air Force.
Mr.. Van Fosson had custody
of the file or dossier. He had it
photostated and turned over that
copy to- the House committee

telligence Agency learned that
the committee had a copy in its
possession and reported this to
the FBI.
The FBI Immediately called in
all copies of the dossier and the
leak was quickly pinpointed.
Lost Reserve Rank.
The Air Force, aware Of the
to-do caused by Senator Nc
Carthy's request during the
Army-McCarthy hearings to
executive branch employees to
turn over security information
on subversives to his committee,
fired the agent-deScribed as
one Of its more competent oper-
atives-an stripped him of his
reserve captains commission.
Chairman Velde Of the House
committee interceded on Mr..
Van Fosson's behalf with the Air
Force. but to no avail. Mr. Velde
did this although he did not
condone Mr.. Van Fosson's ac-
tion.
Mr.. Van Fosson, a decorated
airman Of World War II who was
commissioned in the field, was
hired by the committee on
November "a.
The Air Force refused COM

Clardy, Bowing Out,
Says Reds Remain
In Federal Agencies
BY the Assoeiosed Press

Representative Clardy. Repub-
lican, Of Michigan says there is
still "a gigantic worldwide net
work of Communists previously
identified even now In State, La
Dor and other departments"
Mr.. Clardy, winding up his
service on the House Un-Arler-
ican Activities Committee yes
terday. urged in a statement that
the committee continue an in
vestigatIon he said has been un-
der way for several months. He
was defeated for reelection to
the House last month.
Representative Walter, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania, who is ex-
pected to head the committee in
the next Congress. said Mr..
Clardy's statement seems to in
dicate the need for a complete
study to see whether there is q
basis for the conclusion that he
reached"
"Refers to "Kingpin."
Mr.. Clardy said he based his
statement on still-secret testi-
nony which he said "also iden-
tifies the person responsible for
the placement and the shifting
about Of these Communists" He
did not name the man, but
called him the "kingpin" and
said he may still be in Govern
ment service.
Mr.. Walter said the man to
whom Mr.. Clardy referred was
a Communist Party organizer in
the 1930s who split with regular
party leaders and, in 1889. testi-
fed before the committee. He
said the man was named in
recent secret testimony by
Spencer Miller, jr., who was as
sistant secretary of labor for
international affairs from July,
1853, to March, 1854.
Top Secret, Miller Says.
At his home in South Orange,
N. j., Mr.. Miller expressed sur
prise that Mr.. Clardy should
comment on the matter, which
he said is top secret and con-
fidential.
He neither confirmed nor
denied that what Mr.. Clardy
said was correct, but said that |
in his testimony he did not use
such phrases as "kingpin" and |
gigantic network of Com
munists."

|complishments of school safety patrols
since they were begun as a national under

helped expand the project IN Detroit and
