President Appeals for Patience
IN Dealing With Red Tdctics

! yesterday as serving no useful
purpose.
The President, however. dis
counted his differences with Sem
ator Knowland as normally af-
fecting method rather than
principle" He was asked If
he saw any peril In the fact
that the man chiefly charged
with guiding the administra-
tons program through the
Senate is often In opposition to
his own views.
The President said he would
hope those with whom he has to
work would not be differing
greatly from him in the main
issues or it would be extremely
difficult. But. he said, In dis
cussions with Senator Knowland,
he has found little difference
between them In philosophy in
foreign or domestic policy.
He conceded, at the same time.
that the Senator makes state
ments at times that do not
conform to his approach.
The President entered his news
conference with a few sheets OF
handwritten notes for his dis
cussion Of the controversy about
how the Government should re-
act to the Chinese Communist
Imprisonment Of Americans. He
spoke forcefully and emphasized
the Importance he attached to
his statement by authorizing di-
rect quotation Of his remarks

Eleven Of them were Air Force

them were civilians. said at the
Pentagon to be civilian Army
employees. The Chinese Reds
claim all the men were Central
Intelligence Agency agents.
Gen. Eisenhower said the
status of the two civilians was
cloudy and he could not discuss
1t in detail. But he said con-
tinued imprisonment of the II
men captured in uniform was
completely indefensible and they
should be home right now.
He pointed out that the Amer.
lean prisoners have been held
by the Chinese Reds for two
years, so that obviously the tim.
ing of the announcement of theil
conviction as alleged "spies" was
a deliberate action by the Com.

/ He made that clear at q news
conference late yesterday in
sounding an eloquent plea to
the Nation to shave the courage

peacefully with the Soviet bloc,
The President rejected as an
impulsive step to war a demand
by Republican Senate Leader
Knowland for q naval blockade
Of Communist China until the
American prisoners are released.
He emphasized his conviction
that such action would be fall

trived by Moscow and Peiping

Soviet Behind Act.
He linked recent announce
ment by the Chinese Reds OF
imprisonment as "spies" Of the
Is Americans to Soviet strategy
to try to block Western Euro
pean unity and West German re-
armament.
Noting that the Western allies
recently came up with a new
solution for the problem of a
German contribution to Western
defenses. the President said that
anytime anything happens over
there. there is all sorts Of trouble
created in the world"
Not Standing Alone.
The Communist strategy must
be, Gen. Eisenhower indicated. to
try to goad the United States
into warlike action with which
its allies would not go along, thus
wrecking the alliances on which
the hope Of growing Western
European unity and strength
depend.
The United States does not
stand alone in trying to get the
10 Americans released. the Presi.
dent said.
He asserted that he could not
see how the United Nations could
retain its self-respect unless the
U.N. took some responsibility ir
the matter because at least II
of the Imprisoned Americans
were captured in uniform during
the Korean war while they were
fighting in accordance with 9
specific U.N. request.
Gen. Eisenhower volunteered
his lengthy and obviously care
fully thought OUT statement or
the prisoner issue in a way that
seemed to emphasize q deep
cleavage with Senator Knowland
on policy in dealing with such
incidents.
Even before the prisoner in
cident in China came to light
Senator Knowland warned that
he believed co-existence was q
Soviet Trojan horse. The Cali
fornian called for an investiga-
tion by the next Congress Of

ton Is warranted.

FRED ZlECLER'S VISION
BROUGHT HONEY BEES
TO E. CITY CEMETERY

Cemeteries are usually con-
sidered only a resting place for
the dead" says w. A. Stephen,
bee specialist for the State Col
lege Extension Service. "But at
least one cemetery in the state
was full of life and humming
with industry this spring"
The source of life and activity
in the Hollywood Cemetery at
Elizabeth City could be traced
directly to the foresight and
planning of an undertaken more
than 40 years ago, said Stephen.
Back in the period 1902 Fred
Ziegler, the undertaken suggest
ed planting Eastwood trees in the
cemetery in a identifying effort.
More than 100 German Lindens
were set out.
A few weeks ago honepbees
were busily gathering Eastwood
nectar, said Stephen, Eastwood
honey is one of the finest of all
honeys. ''It might even rank next
to sourwood honey" said the bee
specialist, land indeed is some
times sold as such in the state"
In addition to the German Lin
dens set out in the Hollywood
Cemetery more than 40 years
ago, there are many more plant
ed along the city streets in Eliza
beth City. said Stephen. They
are of several different varieties
and have overlapping blooming
periods. This works to the adj
vantage of the honeybees and
honey fanciers. In all the bees
have about three weeks to gather
nectar from the Eastwood trees
of Elizabeth City.

Whats for lunch. Mom?"
That's q familiar query this sea-
son when outdoor activities sharpen
appetites. A good way to make sure
lunches at your house reach expec-
tations is to keep a supply Of lunch
concluding foods on the kitchen
shelf. Give top priority to con-
densed soups. for they are star per-
formers in summer meals. They are
quickly and easily prepared. They
provide variety. And they give cool
sandwich-salad meals a warm heart.
Too, soups are well-liked and nour-
Ishing.

A good luncheon plan with soup
Is:
Soup
Salad or Sandwich
Dessert Beverage
Imagination and "know-how" are
needed to turn this plan into appe-
tizing and nutritious meals. With
cream soup have a meat or seafood
salad and fruit for dessert. A vege-
table soup tastes good with egg
salad and pie or cake. With a meat
soup select fruit salad and a cheese
sandwich: then pudding for dessert.
The beverage could be milk. or on
particularly sweltering day-iced
tea or lemonade.

HUNTING, TRAPPING
BOUNDARIES IN
SEASHORE PARK

Pursuant to the Act of August
II, 1887, as amended by the Act
of June 20, 1910, and guided by
the recommendations made by
State of North Carolina and De-
.partment of Interior representa-
tives in February 1854, the Sec
rotary has designated the Fed
orally owned lands within Cape
Hatteras National Seashore Re-
irrational Area open to hunting.
The only area that will be
open to hunting or trapping
within the boundaries of the
National Seashore on Bodie Is
land, according to Chief Ranger
Huffman, is an area of approx
mately 1900 acres lying between
the north dixie of the Conserving
Club property and the north
boundary of the Dare County
tract. This area is bounded on
the east by a line 1000 feet west
of and parallel to the highway;
on the west it is bounded by the
mean high-water mark of Roam
oke Sound and the property des-
cribed is presently in private
ownership outside the jurisdic-
ton of the National Park Serv-
ice.
The only areas open to hunt
ing or trapping within the Ma
tional Seashore on Hatteras Is
land are those strips of land in
pu bile ownership bordering
Pamlico Sound for $50 feet to-
ward the ocean from mean high
water and extending between
the villages of Salvo and Avon,
Avon and Buxton and between
Frisco and Hatteras. These strips
contain a total of about 500
acres.
Provisions for hunting on all
lands under the jurisdiction of
National Park Service on Ocra-
coke Island were also provided
in the 1910 amendment to the
original Act creating the Nation
al Seashore with the understand
ing, of course, that all such acti-
vitieS would be in accord with
applicable State and Federal
laws. Any further information
desired is available at the office
of the Superintendent.

GOOD FISHING FOR
MACS HEAD EVENT
EASILY PREDICTED
Channel Bass Caught During
Past Week End Were
Large; One 50-Pound-
err Taken

If weather and fishing condi-
tons continue, as on the past
week end along the coast of Dare
County, the third annual Mays
Head Surf Fishing Tournament
scheduled for October 1924 will
not only attract the greatest
number of club teams, but they
will have an opportunity to catch
more channel bass and other surf
fish than during any of the pre-
vious contests. More than %
teams have indicated they would
participate in the third annual
event this year, along with hun
dreds of individual anglers who
will compete for prizes on Sum
day during the open events.
Surf fishing following mid
week snap of stormy weather
was perfect during the past week
end. Previously the water had
been too clear for perfect ang-
ling along the beaches. Scores OF
channel bass were taken on Sat
urday and Sunday between Kill
Devil Hills and Hatteras Inlet,
the largest a 50-pounder reeled
in by H. v. Pierce of Colerain, N.

CIRCUS COMING AGAIN
TO NORFOLK, SAT.-SUN

The famed Ringing Bros.
Barnum and Bailey circus is
coming to Norfolk on Saturday
and Sunday of this week with
two performances each day, 2:l5
and 8:15 with doors open at l
and so that visitors may see the
big animals and other sights and
wonders.
One of these rare attractions
is the great hippopotamus, Colo
mel Nile, who weighs six thous-
and pounds. Three tons is a lot
of animal. There are hundreds of
rare animals and hundreds of
circus stars of international
fame. Among the four great
super-spectacles is Dreamland,
which it is said cost more than
100000 to produce.
The great hippo has a mouth
big enough to drop a sugar bar
rel into. He will show his great
teeth for a peanut, but square
meal consists of a bale of hay,
and several bushels of vege-
tables.
There's nothing like circus
time for the kids, and seeing
"The Greatest Show on Earth"
packs a world of thrills and edus
cation and delight.
