The project in its present form
is not drawn as a direct means of
financially bettering the promot

3. That Nazi and Fascist agents
have drawn on the funds to finance
racial and anti-defense propaganda
in this country; also anti-American
propaganda in South America.
4. That while U. S. firms fork
over their tribute in dollars, such
royalties as Germany and Italy pay
are in the form of blocked marks and
export lira; that is, money that can
be spent only in Germany or Italy.
Actually, the money levy is a sec
ondary consideration. What really
worries the authorities is how much
vital military production information
these royalty agreements betray to
the Axis.
Since most royalties on patents are
paid according to the number of
units sold, it should be a simple
matter for the Axis to obtain de
tailed figures on types and rate of
flow of important materials to
the U. S. army and navy and to
Britain. Last year the justice de
partment cracked down on Bausch
and Lomb when it discovered that
under a secret royalty agreement
the firm supplied the German licen
sor with a detailed accounting of
certain instruments delivered to the
navy.
WILI.KIE RATES CHURCHILL
OVER F. I).
Wpndell Wilikie went all-out for
the President's lend-lease bill, but
personally he doesn't like Mr.
Roosevelt any better than before.
Wilikie made this clear to friends
following his conference at the
White House.
Winston Churchill, he indicated,
had it all over Kjosc-.elt in ability
and personality, was "much simpler
and more direct in manner."
' There isn't anyone in America
quite like Churchill." Wilikie said.
"He w.is the iv.r.it congenial com
panion I've met in a very long time.
He has a gay buoyancy that is in
comparable." Wilikie also told his friends that
he had absolutely no intention of
taking a job under Roosevelt.
"The President hasn't offered me
anything," he said, "and I hope he
doesn't because I'll turn it down.
One thing I don't want is an ap
pointive office. If war should come
I will enlist in the armed forces,
but I'm not taking a government
job."
Wilikie is still undecided what he
will do, but is leaning toward a re
turn to law. He has been offered a
number of lucrative positions, one
carrying a salary of $120,000 a year.
NEW FARM BOARD
After many years of supporting
the New Deal farm program, the
powerful Farm Bureau federation
wants to set up a new government
farm agency which it would largely
dominate.
in baekstaae congressional con
versations, the farm leaders have
proposed that the AAA, the soil con
servation service and the farm se
curity administration be taken away
from the department if agriculture
and be made a completely sepa
rate agency. Then they want a live
man board to run these important
bureaus.
Naturally, they expect to have a
goodly representation of members
on that board.
So far, Vice President Henry Wal
lace and Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard are vigorously opposed. So
also is the President.
Note Herbert Hoover established
a famous farm board to buy wheat.
It was a mess.

George C. Hoffman, District
Ranger, has issued the following
statement:
"In those times of international
crisis the necessity of an abund
ance of natural resources is more
and more apparent. Not only is
timber of immediate value for de
fence works but it is necessary in
the maintenance of a standard of
living worth fighting for. With
timber available the payrolls of tin
sawmills are maintained and a
much greater income is returned
to those people who have timber to
sell and to those whose labor helps
harvest it. With an increased in
come to both mill workers and
farmers all business in this section
will benefit. Timber is one natu
ral resource which will renew it
self if only given protection from
fire.
"The United States Forest Serv
ice recognizes its responsibility of
taking the lead in the encourage
ment of forest protection. With
the aid of those merchants and
others who have so generously con
tributed toward prizes to make
this contest a success the Forest
Service hopes to make great prog
ress in reducing the damage caused
by foi'est fires."
Contracts for approximately
$10,000 to be used in the construc
tion of dingys for the Government
was awarded the Manteo Boat
Bulling Company last week,, with
in 15 days from the time the firm
was orcanized. It proved how a
group of citizens, who know the
value of cooperation, can get
things, even in a small town which
is handicapped in many ways due
to its isolated locatiom
The corporation which was for
mally given birth just two weeks
ago by some of the leading busi
ness men of Manteo, has matured
into a state of reality with equip
ment capable of turning out any
type of boat the government might
request up to eighty feet in length.
The company expects to employ
around fifty men, in both skilled
and unskilled classes, when pro
duction gets into full swing.
It was pointed out that since
other centers of the country are
booming with National Defensn
projects, and as there is no project
slated to be dumped into Dare
County, the business men sought
some means of reaping a bit of the
benefit by bringing employment to
people in Dare County.
Logical Idea
Boatbuilding was the most logi
cal type of work for this section.
With employment especially slack
during the winter months, and wk:i
many skilled in the art of boat con
struction in Dare, the institution
has possibilities of maturing int )
a permanent industry which can
grow larger with time and the
steady bidding for contracts.
