REcoRD-THE U.S.S. NORTH CARO-
LIMA, at the time of her commissioning
on April 9, 1941, and for many years
thereafter, was the greatest sea weapon
every built by the United States. Her bat
tie record included participation in every
major offensive naval engagement in the
Pacific during World War II. Beginning
with battle support to the Guadalcanal
landings and continuing through the
Third Fleet operations against Japan, the
mighty "Showboat" earned IL battle stars.
SITE-The Battleship Memorial will be
located on 36-acre tract on the west bank
of the Cape Fear River near five well-trav-
eled U. S. highways at Wilmington, North
Carolina. Aside from its inspirational his
toric and educational values, the U.S.S.
NORTH CAROLINA BATTLESHIP ME-
MORTAL will be self-supporting through
modest admission charges and is expected
to become one of Americas major travel
attractions.
GoAL-A minimum of $250,000 is needed
to assure the preservation of the NORTH
CAROLINA, in addition to the site, which
is being purchased by the citizens of
Wilmington and New Hanover County for
$4,000 and transferred without cost to
the State of North Carolina. A breakdown
of the $250,000 minimum required is: tow
ing $4,000; site preparation 100000; and
conditioning the ship for display 100000.

TOLL FREE FERRIES IMPRESS
OUTER BANKS VACATIONISTS

MACS HEAD Oregon and Hat
teras Inlet are probably the only
places in the world today where a
person can take cruise through
the sound, within,sight of the ocean.
without paying a penny for the
ride.
Likewise, the Alligator River is
the only fresh water body of water
of its size, where a similar cruise
from shore to shore may be made
at no cost to the person taking the
ride. The Alligator River cruise
will be discontinued before long as
a bridge will soon replace the toll
free ferry service, but the trips
across Oregon met from the Mays
Head shore to Hatteras Island and
across Hatteras Inlet from the vii
lage of Hatteras to Ocracoke will
continue to be a maritime adven-'
ture for vacationists for some time
to come although surveys have been
made already for a bridge across
Oregon Inlet.
The amazing thing about the
State ferries at Alligator River,
Oregon and Hatteras Inlet is the
fact passengers are getting a free
ride or cruise, as some may call it.
The traveller aboard the ALI
gator River special built ferries is
aboard ship about 35 minutes for
the crossing. South of this sched-
uled route between East Lake and
Sandy Point the passenger sees the
new bridge under construction. It
is expected to be opened for traffic
in 1862. The ferries begin running
from the East Lake shore at s.
O'Clock in the morning and continue
at intervals of 80 to as minutes
until 8 PM. .(There will be addi-
tional night schedules added in
June.
The Oregon and Hatteras Inlet
ferries are converted from military
landing craft and haul Is cars. The
Oregon Inlet ferry schedules start
at PM. and continue until PM,
while six trips are made at two
hour intervals at Hatteras Inlet.
Colorful attraction for those who
ride the Oregon Inlet and Hatteras
ferries are the great flocks of gulls
which follow in the wake of the
craft. Passengers throwing food to
the gulls see the birds catch the
food in the air and before it hits
the water.
A third Outer Banks ferry isl
now state-owned and operated.
This, however, is toll ferry and
charges for making the long trip
from Atlantic on the mainland to
Ocracoke Island. The new ferry is
the "Sea Level, and she leaves
Atlantic at 8 o'clock and Ocracoke
at 2 o'clock. 1t takes about four
hours to make the trip and charges
range from $6.75 for an auto and
it's driver, plus $1.40 for children
and $2.75 for adult passengers to
$35. 25 for truck or tractor and
trailer and passenger if they are
45 to so foot in length.
The Ocracoke-Atlantic ferry es-
tablished by a private operator last
year has eliminated the "dead-end"
that formerly was Ocracoke for the
south bound traveller.

Despite their political differ

agree on one point-nobody
likes to go to the dentist.
Like most Americans. Rus
slams do not take proper care
of their teeth, which decay at
about the same rate as ours.
They, too, have a long Lived
fluoridation debate, and Rus
sian dentists also are divided
over the relative merits of
tooth powder and tooth paste.
These and other areas of in

were discussed yesterday by the
head of the first Russian den-
tai mission to visit the United
States.

country has doubled, he re-
ported, adding that the pro-

Through Transit and Joint Fares
Sought by Four Bus Companies

An unprecedented co-opera-
tive move by the four major
transit companies in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area was
agreed upon today in an effort
to draw up through routes and
a joint-fare system.
At a meeting of the new
Washington Area Metropolitan
Transit Commission. the heads
of the transit companies de-
clared they would study the
matter jointly and hope to
bring a suggested program be-
fore the regulatory agency at a
later date.
The company officials had
been invited to the commission
meeting. where District En-
gineer Commissioner Frederick
J. Clarke explained the
agency's objectives.
Gen. Clarke. chairman of the
commission, stated that i'm
proved transit service by exist
ing companies is the primary
goal of the commissions work.
The first device to be tried
for improving service. he said,
should be establishment of
through routes and joint fares
which would allow a transit
rider a more convenient and
direct bus ride throughout the
Metropolitan region.
"DictatiOn" Opposed

pany officials that the objec-
tives could be reached either by
cooperative action on the part
Of private enterprise or by hav-

the question of improved serv-
ice for transit riders throughout

BALTIMORE, May 19.-The

petition drive aimed at garner

endum on the States congress
sional redistricting act.
Approval of the drive was
given without opposition yester-

unit from Dorchester County
on the Eastern Shore had ex-
pressed opposition earlier but
did not vote against it on the

the league-printed petitions.
A total of 10000 signatures
is needed by June 30 and

surpass that number.

There are more flags up each

The other day, j. George
Stewart, architect Of the Cap
itol. was up to testify before
the Subcommittee on Legisla-
tive Appropriations. The appro-
priations are up this year, even
the legislative ones.
Mr.. Stewart said he needed a

the Capitol at the request of
members. preparation of the
nece essary certificates, and
keeping Identification and other
records"
Mr.. Stewart said the need for
the new poSition-to cost about
$4,056 per annum-Was because
of the number of flags being re-
quested to be flown each year
over the Capitol"
And, he added, his voice
rising. during the first three
months of the calendar year
1861. $500 flags have already
been flown. We can foreSee no
reason to expect this trend to
change"
The flags go up and are
flown and are then given to
constituents. Look at the rec
ord: In 1855 1866 flags were
flown; in Sc, 2,l92; in ST,
2,529; in '58, 1850. and in SO,
1923. And in 1860, the year
just passed there were 1908
flags flown, showing a marked
increase in the number of flags
flown, according TO testimony
released today.
Mr.. Stewart explained the
operation to Representative
Steed, Democrat of Oklahoma,
chairman of the subcommittee,
this way:
I'VE have established a reg
ular process for flying these
flags. This involves receipt of
the flags from the stationery
