CRESWELL - State Repre-
sentative ]. M. Phelps of Wash
ington County, a widely-known
eastern North Carolina surgeon
and former Wake Forest College

Sunday.
Death for the 54-year-old veter-
an legislator apparently resulted
from natural causes, but an au-
topsy was performed at Chapel
Hill.
Phelps was the second State leg
islator to die during the current
session. Fleetus Gobble of Forsyth

Raleigh during the early part of
the 1861 session.
Phelps was serving his third
term in the Legislature. His body
was found by a maid who went to
his home early Sunday. He had
returned to Creswell from the Leg
islature in Raleigh for the week
end. The Phelps spent great deal

phia attending the wedding of a
niece.
A native of Washington County,
Phelps attended public school
there.
He attended Wake Forest Col
lege and graduated from the Wake
Forest School of Medicine. Phelps
then went to jefferson Medical
School in Philadelphia.
In 1926 and 1927 he received
southwide recognition as a guard
on Wake Forests football team.
Phelps was also a college base
ball star.
House Speaker Joe Hunt Jr., at
his home in Greensboro, said 81
was very close to Doc and thought
a lot of him. He was one of the
most popular members of the
House.
ale served his county we'll and
tended his business. He wasn't the
type who was up on his feet all
the time. He was the type of fellow
who if he told you something You
could depend on it.
Secretary of State Thad Eure
said he and Phelps had been Gin
&insate friends for many years.
He was highly valuable member
of the General Assembly"
Eure explained that the Wash
ington County Democratic Execu-
tive Committee would name a sue
cessor to be appointed by Gov.
Terry Sanford.
A director of Branch Banking
and Trust Co. in Plymouth, Phelps
was a Mason and Shriner, a former
member of the Creswell town
board, and a member of Christ
Episcopal Church. During World
War II he served as captain in the
Medical Corps.
Surviving besides his wife are
two sons, Donald of Buies Greek
and Robert of Asheville; two broth
ers, William of Belhaven and Lind
say Of Windsor; one sister, Mrs.
Alice Starr of Creswell; and seven
grandchildren.
Funeral services We're held Tues
hay at 8 pm. from Christ Episco-
pal Church here, conducted by the
Rev. A. J. Mackie, rector. Burial
was in st. David's Cemetery at
Creswell.
The Washington County Demo-
cratic Executive Committee recon-
mended Mrs. Phelps to succeed her

Mr.. Cox said administrators
OF every government depart
ment and agency have picked
key employees and have instruc-
ted them where to go and what
to do in a national emergency.
They will work at some 80 Sc
cret relocation sites throughout
the country to keep the wheels
of government turning even un-
der a nuclear attack.
The key workers have been
given special telephone num-
bers, and in some cases special
post cards, which are to be left
with their families. Under war
emergency conditions, the fam
lily can get in contact with the
workers by calling the special
phone numbers.
The numbers might carry a
Philadelphia telephone ex-
change, but the emergency site
may be in West Virginia. Spe-
cial arrangements have been
made with the Nations phone
companies to reserve circuits
which will channel the calls to-
the correct sites.
RaInoafi0u Sifaa
But in case communications are
disrupted, and large metropoli-
tan areas are evacuated, OCDM
wants families of Federal work.
erS to know which relocation
sites they should head for.
The Defense Department, for
example, has told the families
of its employees to head for the
nearest military installation.
Authorities at the bases will
then try to find where the head
of the family Is located and
make contact.
Commerce has another plan.
Through a series of booklets,
the department has informed
employees families to head for
one Of several CD relocation
areas around Washington.
Each agency must clear its
plans with the local Civil De-
fenSe unit in charge Of the re-
location site.
But the FEC has made ar
rangements for direct radio
communication from its rem
devious point to its secret re-
location sites.
A spokesman for FEC Com
missioner Robert T. BARLEY,
who heads the agency's civil
defense plans, said that the
rendezvous point is located at
the Linton Hall Military School
near Manassas.
Under a lease agreement, the
school allows the FEC to store
e m ergency communications
equipment in a school building.
The agreement also stipulates
that space in the buildings will
be available for temporary
shelter for FEC families in case
of evacuation.

First Concrete Step
According to officials of the
Office of Civil Defense Mobil-
ization the FEC Memorial Day
picnic was the first concrete
step taken by a Federal agency
to familiarize their employees
with family relocation plans.
"The purpose Of all this is tt
keep families together" Ed
ward Cox of the OCDM said
Every Federal agency in Wash
ington is supposed to instruct
its employees on these arrange.
ments, but to my knowledge
the FEC picnic was the first
trial run ever held"
Mr.. Cox and other OCDM Of
ficials said the morale factor
Of maintaining communication
between a Federal worker and
his family in time of national
crisis can not be overestimated
I'm case of an emergency,
Mr.. Cox said, "key employees oi
all Government agencies will
be sent Immediately to secret
relocation sites.
"They might not be able tc
help their families evacuate
and they will be worried about
the families while they're or
the job. We want to make
sure that there is some method
of communication between the
employe and his family-some
place where the family car
gravitate to, and where they
can be reunited with the
breadwinner."
Each agency is responsible
for making its own plans tc
maintain this communication
Because FEC is one of the
small agencies it arranged fol
a rendezvous point - a small
military academy near Ma.
nasas, Va.
Objectives Set
Some of the larger agencie.
have instructed families to heac
toward certain specified reloca.
tion areas in case evacuation
from the Washington area /,
ordered. OCDM said this serves
two purposes: It gives familie.
an objective, and it bring non
critical agency workers tC
places where they can be found
if needed.
Under these plans no special
treatment will be given to fam.
lilies Of Federal workers" Mr.
Cox said, They will be evacu-
ated along with everyone else
and will receive treatment and
aid in centers set up for the
general population. But since
the Government has taker
away the head Of the house
hold, we want to have some
method of reuniting the fam
lilies"

FTC Expands
Study of Pricingin in
Photo Equipment
By the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion says 1t has expanded an
investigation of pricing prac-
tiees in the Photographic equip
ment industry.
The FTC said questionnaires
have been sent to 296 retailers
of photo equipment in Phila-
delphia and Washington. The
firms are being asked whether
advertised list prices for certain
cameras manufactured by East
man Kodak Co. are the prices
at which the items customarily
are sold in the two cities.
Charles E. O'Connor, chief of
the FTC's division of guides,
said yesterday there might be
future questionnaires concern
ing cameras manufactured by
other companies.
The FTC began an inquiry
, last March to determine wheth-
er advertised retail prices of
cameras are inflated. In that
connection, it mailed question
naires to 26 camera manufac-
turers.

Inc state Department. as
sistant chief of protocol said
last night a law sis very sorely
needed" to keep African dip
lomatS from being barred from
luxury apartments in Washing
ton.
But the official, Pedro San
Juan. said the State Depart
ment is not free to lobby for
this, that any such action is up
to Congress. All the department
can do, he said, is use its in
fluence and persuasive powers
with real estate owners in the
city. He said 1t has tried as
hard as possible to do this.
Mr.. Sanjuan discussed the
problems of Negro diplomats

He said discrimination Incl
dents color the entire image

: not only those involving
diplomats, but discrimination
IN general"
The diplomats find no seq

portation and hotels, Mr.. San
juan said, but do in housing.
"In the choice residential
areas Of Washington, Washing
ton falls way behind other cities
in the United States" he said.
These areas are largely seq
regated. They're not segregated
by law. They're not segregated
by, I don't think, the wishes
of the people living there.
They're segregated by the real
estate business of Washington,
which feels -. they will lose
customers if they open them
up. think this is an unfounded
fear"
Mr.. Sanjuan said the State
Department is working with
the States to help eliminate
discrimination where diplo-
mats travel. He said 40 of the
so State Governors have joined
a committee set up by the de-
partment to accomplish this.
What we are trying to do"
he said, is encourage the dip
lomats to take a good look at
the United States and get the
States to see that hotels. res
taurants, motelS and other IA
cilitieS are desegregated as
much as possible.

catching on, he added, and are
trying to follow suit.
Mr.. Gentilini said the Patent
Office project will help. too.
particularly in preparation OF
Government publications on
technical subjects.
He said the office is devising
a word system called "Ruly
English"
Using new and greatly sim
plified words to express whole
phrases, he explained. reams Of
research material can be filed
away in one special machine.
When the writer needs it he
can easily find it and can better
put his releases in terms the
layman can understand.
He gave the educators a few
examples: Instead of saying
something is slightly smaller,
the material in the machine
would read "sli-less." If an
object was slightly larger, the
machine material would say
"sli-more." If something was
surrounded and in contact"
the machine would say SUR
tact" etc.
Mr.. Gentilini Immediately at
tempted to put one fear to rest,
however.
Asked if he thought such
words would begin turning up
in Government publications or
everyday English, he said he
doubted it.
when the writer gets such
words out of the machine. he
will know what they mean
(they were put there for stor-
age only but he will not use
them in writing his paper" he
said.
Nevertheless. the department.
spokesman said. such AUTO
matte information processing
will eventually bring about
significant changes in writing
practices and language use"
He sidestepped a question,
which held out the possibility
that words like "sli-less" and
"sli-more" might simply add
up to more gobbledygook.
