New Citizens
Urged 10 Shun
All Prejudice
BY JOHN A. GILES
star stan Writer

Fifty naturalized citizens were
told today that free public
education was absolutely
essential to maintaining a
citizenry with informed and I'M
fettered minds"
DR.. Ruth Stout of Topeka,
Kans., president Of National
Education Association, told the
new citizens who come from 20
different countries that they
should maintain an absence Of
prejudice"
She spoke at an unusual ma
turalization ceremony at Hotel
Statler in conjunction with the
18th National Conference on
Citizenship.
District Judge E. Dickinson
Let's presided.
Tolerance Not Sufficient
The proceedings were a high
light of the four-day session,
closing today.
THE public schools of Amer
lea are the joint responsibility
Of the people and their local.
state and national govern
mentS," DR.. Stout declared.
THE greatest enemies of the
way Of life to which you have
pledged yourselves are ignor-
ance without understanding
and knowledge without wisdom.
There is no room for selfish
ness, for hate or pettiness,
distrust or cruelty or even for
Incidence" she continued.
Mere tolerance is not enough,
DR.. Stout said the United
States was Just becoming of
age in a troubled world" and
that it must become a mature
nation.
Indignation Discussed
Referring to a speech by
Attorney General Rogers
before the same conference
Wednesday night in which he
said no State with racial inte-
grafton problems in public
schools has q right to "flout"
the Supreme Court. DR.. Stout
said:
You must preserve free pub
lie education, that the genera
tions to come may increasingly
become more able than we in
this increasingly complex uni
verse. In a democracy. the
power of the many or the
power of leaders is constructive
only so long as it is used to
create situations in which the
individual may grow within
himself and in his ability to
live and work with other men,"
The 800 delegates, consider
ing how citizenship can be
improved, were divided into
discussion groups. Several of
these meetings discussed the
Indignation situation. DR.. Ar
thur P. Crabtree of the Uni
versity Of the State of New
York was to summarize these
discussions. New officers also
were to be elected.

.Widow,5O,
Raped in Home

A 5O-year-old woman was
criminally assaulted in her
home in the 6400 block Of
Third street NV. early today.
Police said the assailant may
be the same man who MUIR
dered a housewife in the same
area Wednesday.
Police launched an intensive
manhunt for the suspect, also
believed to be responsible for
several recent daylight house
breakings in the murder VIC
TINS neighborhood.
But police had little to go on.
The rape suspect was described
only as a young colored man,
wearing gloves.
He broke in by smashing the
glass in the basement door with
his gloved tist. detectives said.
and some glass pierced the
glove, cutting his hand.
In both the rape and the
murder, the woman was alone
in the house, the attacker
broke in and approached the
victims in their bedrooms.
Hands Tied Behind Back
The rape victim, a white
widow. was asleep in her first
floor bedroom about las am.
today when she was awakened
by the attacker who warned her
not to scream or he would kill
her. detectives said.
He tied her hands behind her
back, forced her into the base
ment and attacked her, they
said. Then he united her,
warned her not to call police
or he would return and kill her,
and left.
The victim was taken to
d. C. General Hospital for ex-
animation. but she had no fur
ther injuries.
Murder Victim Strangled
The murder victim. Mrs.
Junius M. Davis, IS, colored,
was found strangled with an
electric cord in her ransacked
third-f apartment at 906
Shepherd street NV. Wednes-
day afternoon.
Detectives said she apparently
had been lying down in her
bedroom when the murderer
awakened her.
She apparently put up a
fierce struggle, detectives said.
The apartment was in disorder.
and she had scratches and cuts
on her face, neck and mouth.
She was not raped.
The intruder took 81 from a
piggy bank after ransacking
the apartment.

knife unlawflly was indicated"
the judge observed. THE stat
ute says possession of a knife
with a blade over 3 inches with
intent to use it unlawfully is
a crime there is the best
evidence of intent in this case,"
the judge concluded, because
someone says he threatened to
use the weapon"
Judge Tickling Monday dis
missed a charge of carrying a
dangerous weapon against a.
man who was later found to
have a long police record. He
ruled that under a statute in
the Omnibus Crime Bill Of
1858. proof of intent to use the
knife as a weapon is required.
The United States attorneys
office has argued that the
new law does not SuperSede the
older statue, which provides
that carrying q dangerous
weapon of any kind is a crime.
Other judges at Municipal
Court have used this statute
in cases where the later statute
does not apply.
Police Protest Interpretation
Police have protested that
Judge Fickling's Interpretation
would permit known criminals
to escape conviction. They ar
que that more serious crimes
are prevented when hoodlurns
carrying dangerous weapons
can be prosecuted even though
intent to use the weapons un-
lawfully at the time cannot be
proved.
Edmond T. DAILY. chief as
sistant United States attorney
at Municipal Court. said today
his staff has been preparing
arguments against Judge Flick
ling's Interpretation of the new
statute. Mr.. DAILY said he be-
lieved that Congress intended
to strengthen rather than SUI
percede the older law with the
1853 statute.

MANTEO PULPIT SUNDAY
Guests at Baptist Church Include Ben

Among guests at the Manteo
Baptist Church Sunday were Mr..
and Mrs. Don Matthews of Hamil-

a well-to-do farmer and business
man has a splendid beach home in
Kill Devil Hills, which he and his
wife greatly enjoy.
His pastor, Rev. J. C. Brooks
filled the Manteo pulpit at both
services Sunday in the absence of
Rev. w. E. Cholerton, the pastor.
The Manteo congregation heard of
the plans to build a $150,000 home
for aged people at Hamilton, and
to which fund, Mr.. Matthews has
subscribed $4,000.
The home would be principally
for aged people of the Baptist
faith, but would permit as many
as rs per cent of its admissions
to come from other faiths. Mr..
Brooks, the pastor is conducting a
campaign for the project.

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES:
Wants to Know How Folks Lived Before
Finding So Much to Spend Money For

My memory takes me back this
month to how we used to live in
August when I was boy. / re-
member at this time, when every
body had laid by their crops, we
used to have the big week-long
lrevivals winding up in big pic
mic on the grounds, with the bap-
tizing of all the converts the week
Of preaching had rounded up.
The revival never lasted longer
than week, for by that time the
last chicken in the neighborhood
had been slain and fed to the WIS.,
ting preachers. 1t used to be quite
a contest to see whose homes the
preacher would go to. He was ex-
pected to eat his noon meal at a
different home everyday, and sleep
on a new bed every night.
When / had grown older, / gave
more thought to the possibility
that preacher had to be mighty
patient man. I don't see how he
didn't get foundered on chicken
meat, nor how he ever got enough
rest, what with changing beds so
often. In those days many people
put their worst mattress in the
room they Kept for visitors, being
that these rooms weren't used
much, while the man Of the house
kept the best bed for himself.
Most everybody had feather beds
In those days, and I don't see why
somebody didn't smother under the
heat Of those hot August nights

HYDE NEGRO MAN
DROWNED MONDAY
AT STUMPY POINT

The body of j. P. Mackey, 32, an
Engelhard negro employed for a
long time at Stumpy Point was
found Monday when it came to
surface, following the activity of
motor boats in the vicinity of the
fish house of Alton Best, the dead
mans employer.
Mackey worked for Mr.. Best. He
had been to Roanoke Island on the
week end, and when he was not
noticed at work on Monday morn
ing, this was not considered I'M
usual. However his pants and
shoes were found in the fish house
where he slept. When boats came
in from fishing, the body came to
surface.
The man is reported as unmar-
ried.
Coroner Jim Vannote of Manteo
said it appeared that the negro
had come in during Sunday night,
and after taking off his pants and
shoes had stepped out to the edge
of the wharf and there had fallen

mosquitoes, and folks would nigh
trap their hides off beating away
the mosquitoes. We'd sit through a
two-hour church service, while the
preacher would tell us of the aw-
full fate that awaited the unrepent-
ant. The sweat rolled down, off us
and off the preacher while all OF
us wore ourselves out welding
palm leaf fans.
Many one of us walked mile
or two to church down a dusty OF
sandy road. We didn't seem to
mind it, and we don't have any
dreadful recollections of the hard
ships of those days. In fact to many
of us, it was fun counting the girls
and it seemed that the road wasn't
near SO long as we wanted it to be,
for when one is counting, the girl
always got home too soon.
It was lots of fun, those good
old revival-meeting times, and

KILL DEVIL HILLS
TOWN SETS UP A
MODEST BUDGET
Recent Trend in Municipal Affairs
Indicates Improved Interest
By Officials

There is wholesome effect in
the recent action of the town of
Kill Devil Hills in holding down
expenses, so that the tax rate is
not increased. This has been done
despite the cost of an election
which was not needed, and the
addition of street lights to inn
prove the community.
Some wide praise has been given
the Mayor and town board for
giving attention to the business of
the town. The difficulties that
have hampered the progress of the
new town might never have occur
red had there been more lively
interest in the beginning in the
welfare of the town. There was a
failure at the outset of sufficient
people of the right temperament
and ability to assume the respon-
sibilities of public office. The bur-
den fell on the shoulders of too
few of them.
Some people who once fought
the municipality, now think con-
tinued improvement is going to
make a far better situation. Sew
eral now say the only way for
progress is through municipal
management. The general appear

ANDY GRIFFITH'S
FILM IS TO HELP
MANTEO SCHOOL
Actor and Movie Operator to
Donate from mo Time
For Sereeants"

Herbert A. Greet, proprietor of
the Pioneer Theatre in Manteo,
and actor Andy Griffith have
opened their hearts, and will set
aside the net receipts of Griffith S
hit movie, "No Time For Ser
geants," when it comes to Manteo
sometime shortly, for the benefit
of the new Manteo High School
which is without sufficient funds
for equipment.
Andy Griffith, who lives two
miles north of Manteo, agreed
with Mr.. Greet this week, al
though it is not necessary in order
to assure attendance at the show.
The movie is smash hit across
the nation, and has many long
runs, and local people have been
clamoring for weeks that it be
shown in Manteo.
Ordinarily towns of the size of
Manteo do not get new films as
early as this one is coming, but it
has been made possible by reason
of Actor Griffith's interest in the
community and his residence here.

FREE DELIVERY
OF MAIL SOUGHT
ON ROANOKE ISLE
Patrcns Of Manteo Posfoffice
Favor Establishing Rural
Mail Route

A movement is on foot to ask
the postoffice department to estab-
.lish rural free delivery of mail
on Roanoke Island, and patrons of
the Manteo postoffice living north
of Manteo are preparing to circu-
late petitions asking for this serv-
ice.
When the petitions have been
completed, Congressman Herbert
c. Bonner will be asked to use
his efforts to get the postoffice
department to establish this serv-
ice.
Rural delivery service is now
operated out of the Kitty Hawk
postoffice to Duck and Colington
neighborhoods, those offices hav-
ing been long discontinued because
no one could be found to take the
place of the retiring postmasters.
