Balkan Powder Keg farmed Bv Recent German Movements (Continued from page one) Unofficial reports today placed Britain's losses- at sea at slightly more than three million tons since the beginning of the war Costly raids on British shipping have neen admitted during the past few days On the African continent. British forces continue to score new gains while the war in Albania is appar ently at a standstill pending the out come of future developments by Germany. In this country- the United S^tes Senate, heading up the move to slow down defense, has virtually adopted a filibuster, and there is no reason to believe the lease-lend bill will pass this week Just as Congress is delaying action, the effect of strikes is becoming more pronounced, and industrialists are scoring new gains in Congress in the way of tax relief Given ample time, the United States will be bent and broke internally be - fore Hitler is ready to come and take over. Late reports state that the oppo sition has about spent itself, and that only one more two-hour speech will be diroced against the lease-lend lull, while it is likely that the ftppo sition will end its attack on the bill itself, considerable delay is expected in handling the debate on proposed amendments !>"? bill __ Two new strikes, neither of wide scope, were reported this morning, one in Toledo and one in New Jer sey. Strikers withdrawing from Camp Davis at Holly Ridge have not materially disturbed the progress of work there, one report stating that more men were employed today than a week ago No violence has been re ported there. A few local people, participating in the strike, have re turned to their homes, here Jamesville Team Is Ousted In Tourney Jamesville's all-star - entry, was eliminated in the first round of the Gold Medal basketball tournament at Rocky Mount last evening by the Carolina Ramblers. intra-mural team that wandered down from Cha pel Hill to do battle with the Dudes. Jamesville's Brown and Diem, bor rowed for the special event, led their mates, but the lads from the center ol learning triumphed by a 38 23 score. Jamesville was the only team from this county entering the tour ney as an independent. The Jamesville and Bear Grass boys' basketball teams are entering the A. C. College tourney which gets underway the.. latter part of this week. Jamesv|lle is the defending champion fromflast year's tourney in the B class.

I nrventful Session Held B\ The County \uthorities Monday (Continued lroiu page one) The board in its meeting took nci steps to have a permanent grand jury established in the county, and four times each year a few citizens will be called into service to handle tin- multiple duties imposed on a grand jury. The sale of timber On the J I), Leggett property for $425 was ap proved The board recommended that the road ni Goose Nest Township lead ing from Highway 125 one milt south of the Halifax County lint near Howell's Store and running north via Lester Morgan's. Robert Biggs'. Dempsey Brown and oth ers to the old Hobgood to Palmyra road be worked as a community road. , Supported by more than 100 sig -natures, a petition was placed be fore the- board asking that they rec ommend to the State Highway and Public Works Commission that the mad leading from a point near the residence of Will G Hardison in Griffins Township via Oymond City to Pinetow n be maintained by state lorees Leading citizens in Martin and Beaufort Counties signed the petition. It was pointed out in the petition that the Civilian Conserva aion Corps forces had widened the road to a width of 28 feet, that the heavy traffic over the route made it impassable, and that no organiza tion is in charge of its upkeep. Jl was also pointed out that the road would link valuable farming terri tory on the east and west side of the old dismal swamp and reduce th< distance between the two areas by about twenty miles Wets Are Having Their Say Today In The Assembly (Continued from page one) later than Friday of next week and possibly may fold up and withdraw about the* middle of next week Floods of local bills were introduced last night and today, and the com mittees are winding up their work The homestead exemption plan was again reported unfavorably in com mittec, the action flouting the will of the constitution. Last night the Senate passed on second reading the bill redisricting the Senate membership The second Senatorial district will remain un changed, leaving Dare, Hyde. Wash lngon, Tyrrell, Pamlico. Beaufort and Martin in the district. The bill as it now stands gives the west an addi tional senator at the expense of the A movement to increase superior court judges' pay has met with de feat The nine-months school term was killed by committee, but a ninth salary increment for teachers was given favorable consideration along with a provision for the gradual ad dition of a twelfth grade to the State school system Steps I!|> Output As Product Is Needed Prime example of how the exper ience and manufacturing technique gained by certain U. S. industries during lean years when there was little demand for their products has become of great importance in meet ing "tin- sudden demands of the na tional defense program is the mag nesium fabricating industry, says Wiser Brown, president of Ameri can Magnesium Corporation. His firm's output of magnesium castings has already been stepped up to 20 times the normal peacetime demand experienced by it in 1938. Now pur cha.se of four buildings and land at Bridgepor t. Conn . are to be used for further immediate expansion. 1Pq tal employees of the concern's six plants now exceed 2.000. will be near er 3.500 by mid-1942. Know-how" in fabricating magnesium (extreme ly volatile in the molten state) ac quired during years when the in dustry was experimenting and at tempting to develop a market is a valuable factor in making such speedy expansion possible. Brown said Graham Ball, year-old son of Mr. i and Mrs. David Ball, continues ser iously ill in a Greenville hospital. He is expected to undergo an operation there this afternoon for adenoids, the ! little tot having suffered two at ; tacks of pneumonia during recent months. ? Mesdames Arthur Bertolett and K K.

Legislative Review By CountvRepresentative THE RECORD SPEAKS . . . With the exception of three minor wrecks, the highways and streets in Martin County were fairly safe during the seven-day period ending ^Sunday. While driving conditions during the period were not very favorable, motorists exercised care and dis cretion to go through the week without attacking human life and impairing limbs Two of the accidents were reported by Ser geant L. L Jackson of the High way Patrol who classed them as minor. A complete report could not be had before the sergeant was called to Camp Davis for service during a strike there early yesterday.

One Price To All $19.75 POTMAN'S Cleaners-PrpMsers WILLIAMSTON Unbalanced Budget To Force Assembly Into Extra Period Hill Would Eliminate Fertiliz er Eompanie* From Po tato Farming By CLARENCE W. GRIFFIN Martin County Representative Several days ago, some members of the General Assembly predicted adjournment by March 8. These hopes faded last week when the es timates on the Revenue Bill were revealed and it was learned that the Appropriations Bill was approxi mately two million dollars out of balance with the Revenue Act. I am sure that it will take at least an ad ditional week to make the changes and reductions in the appropriations bill so as to bring it in line with the Revenue Act. Several State institu tions received some small increases over those contained in the Advis ory Budget Commissions' recom mendations. A large portion of these increases will have to be taken away in order for the Appropriations Bill to conform to the anticipated reve nue for the next two years. The liquor question is being aired thoroughly before the committee. A rather stormy session was held last week and others are scheduled for this week The bill which would give the Su preme Court rule making power ov er the lower courts was killed last week on the floor of the House after [ a rather heated and bitter discus sion. I do not think that this bill can be revived during this session. An act to allow the use of school busses to transport school children to the | school houses one day before the opening day and one day after the ( lose of the session has been intro duced.
