J. VV EjLj V Hj TWO ARE SLAIN IN GEORGIA FIELD Jealousy And Robbery Blamed In Slaying Of Girl, Companion MCDONOUGH, Ga., March 4.—UB —Jealously and robbery were con sidered today by investigators seek ing a motive for the killing ol pretty, brunet Sarah Rawls, 20, and Benton Ford, 24. A young farmer, Charley Wilkin son, found the two early yesterday bludgeoned to death in a muddy cornfield about 100 yards from where a side road turns off from the McDonough-Atlanta highway. Ford was lying face down about 80 feet from his parked pick-up truck, his head beaten in by eight blows from a blunt instrument. Miss Rawls, her face up and her arms neatly placed by her side, was 15 feet nearer the truck. She had been struck four times on the head and shoulders. Strands of hair were found clasp ed in the hands of both, indicating they had put up a desperate fight. Henry County Sheriff H. M. Amis reported $25 friends said Ford had carried was missing, lending color to a robbery motive theory. Amis and DeKalb County Police Chief J. T. Daily said they j also were checking the possibility , that jealousy might be involved. The nature of the wounds sug gested an ax or a jack handle might have been used to beat the couple to death. Miss Rawls and Ford, both pop ular in this rural community, left a roadside dance place near Stock bridge about 1130 p. m. Saturday after an evening of amusement with friends. Russian Seal Hunters Rescued By Planes MOSCOW, March 4.—(JP)—Air planes and a number of ships, in cluding an ice-breaker, participated in the rescue of 500 seal hunters and fishermen trapped in the Cas pian Sea by a sudden thaw, it was disclosed in dispatches reaching here today. Twenty-nine seal hunters and 24 horses remained stranded, and op erations were jeontinuing to rescue them. j Deeds Registrar's Term Challenged In Harneti RALEIGH, March 4. —UP)— Ar gument in a case which may affect the terms of office of officials in 21 counties will be heard by t h e supreme court this week. The case was brought by George A. Penny to compel the Harnett county board of elections to enter his name as a candidate for reg:s ter of deeds. The 1935 legislature extended the term:; of register of deeds from two to four years, effective with those elected in 1936. However, Harnett and some other counties w’ere ex empted from the act. In 1939 the legislature extended the term of thd Harnett register of deeds, elected in 1938, from two to four years, making his term ex pire in 1942 rrther than in 1940. Superior Court Judge Clawson L. Williams held the act constitutional and retroactive, and Penny appeal ed the case. The racial doctrine as interpreted in the Nazi creed is sheer primitive nonsense, and we are no more pre pared to admit German superiority of race than we are concerned to assert our own. —Viscount Hali fax, British foreign secretary. C. R. Hudson tuneral To Be Held Tuesday RALEIGH, March 4.—W—Funer al services for C. R. Hudson, 67. veteran of the state agricultural extension service who died here last night, will be held tomorrow at Hawfield Presbyterian church near Mebane. Hudson came to North Carolina from Alabama more than 30 years ago as state agent in charge of farm demonstration work. In 1922 he was placed in charge of negro extension work. His widow and four children sur vive. State-Wide Liquor Vote Is Urged By Candidate LEXINGTON, March 4—CP)—A state-wide referendum on liquor and i re-apportionment of the legislative representation are advocated in the platform of L. A. Martin of Lexing ton, a candidate for lieutenant-gov ernor. Martin made public his platform here last night. He expressed him self as opposed to liquor and the li censing of gambling devices by the state. He favored a retirement plan for teachers, as well as sick leave benefits and allotment of teachers an a basis of enrollment.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine More and more, among groups of physicians, one hears whisperings of the likelihood that next year, or the year after, there may be an other outbreak of the influenza which devastated the world in 1918. The history of mankind seems to in dicate that such epidemics recur at intervals of about 25 years. Unfortunately, the causative or gamsm ior nwi particular type of influenza has not been definitely established. The general impression is that the condi tion is caused by a virus, which is another name for a living poison. The border that separates the or dinary cold from influenza is not clearly defined. Colds occur in epidemics, tne same as does in fluenza. There is no simple test of the secretions from the nose or throat that proves definitely, to the doctor, that the condition is either a common cold or influenza. Ex amination of the blood cells does not yield positive information. The experienced doctor recog nizes that in influenza the patient gets sick first and the cough and cold will come a little later. In an ordinary cold, the nose begins running first and the sickness de velops somewhat later. * * * In general, the person with influ enza suddenly suffers aching joints, fever, and illness. He feels drowsy, his eyes glisten and become red; later there is a cough. The fever is high for two or three days and then declines. Should there be a secondary infection with pneumonia, however, or an infection of the ears, the fever will continue and the illness become worse. At present there is no serum that can be given to control in fluenza. There is no certainty that any of the new sulfanilamide drugs will help. Doctors, therefore, usually tell people to go to bed. They give plenty of hot drinks and appy hot water bags for the aching joints. In more severe cases, it may be necessary to in duce sleep with strong sedatives or narcotics. It is important that the patient should drink plenty of fluids and that sugar should be supplied to overcome the loss through fever. When the patient with influenza realizes that he is sick and goes to bed promptly, he is likely to re cover promptly. Fishbein In Hollywood Is'EA Service Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, March 4.—Not in the decade of talkies, except for the quick rise of Robert Taylor, has any leading movieman zoomed up as surprisingly as the blue-jowled, cleft chinned Richard Greene. Recent popularity polls rate him fourth or fifth among the males, topped only by mugging Mickey Rooney, the ubi- < | , , _ , quitous lyrone Power and the] veterans Gable j and Tracy. He al- j ready has passed ■ Taylor. Green’s s standing is all ; the more remark able because it was won with ro mantic • juvenile parts in compara tively few pic tures. Besides being a * product of umm- Paul Harrison portant roles, he defies other rules for stardom by being too young and too handsome. Being a foreign er (Seotch-Irish, by way of Eng land) didn't help him at first, either. Greene was only 19 when he came here early in 1938 for a part in "Four Men and a Prayer.’’ “But that wasn’t my published age,” he cautioned. I’ve been 23 for the past two years.’ Studio casting directors always have sought a mature virility in leading men_ and not too doggoned much beauty. Bob Taylor suffered from the "Pretty Boy” nickname, and Greene was in danger of being labeled "Dimples.” Maybe he was saved by his husky build, or heavy beard growth, or even by his act ing. * * * Fan Mail Came In Truckloads Most stars are made by one or two big roles in important pictures. Greene wasn’t. Usually he has been dragged in to provide the second ary love-interest in non-romantic, pictures such as “Stanley and Liv ingstone,” “The Little Princess” and “Hound of the Baskervilles.” The studio hadn’t thought much about Richard Greene, except as a capable youngster who never Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On Creomulslon relieves promptly be cause it goes right to the seat of the trouble to loosen germ laden phlegm, increase secretion and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, inflam ed bronchial mucous membranes.

CREOMULSION j for Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis Farm Benefit Payments Listed In Washington WASHINGTON, March 4—ta>)— Secretary Wallace announced today that more than 160 farm benefit payments in excess of $1,000 were made to North Carolinians for com pliance with the 1937 agricultural adjustment program. The list included a 510,100 pay ment to W. S. Clark and Sous. Inc., Tarboro, and one for $7,654 to P. E Ransom of Jackson. North Carolina payments in excess of $1, 000 totaled $272,618. A large majority were between $2,000 and $1,000. The list, announced by Secretary Wallace, included: Henry EHiott. Erwin, $1,250; R. B. Evans estate, Fayetteville, $1, 263 ; T. J.

RALEIGH B R I E F S Star-News Bureau Sir Walter Hotel RALEIGH, March 4. —Your Ra leigh reporter hears that the elec tion board meetings to be held all over the state this month at the behest of State Chairman Will A. Lucas are to be attended not only by members of the county boards of elections, but by the democratic county chairmen as well. State Chairman Gregg Cherry of Gastonia is said to be giving the county heads virtual order to at tend and learn about the new elec tion laws at the same time as the county election officials do. In Saturday's News and Observer it was reported that “the Capital hears” that Vernon F. Sechriest, of the Rocky Mount Telegram will be given leave of absence to handle the Lee Gravely publicity. First thing you know the N. and O. w’ill “hear’’ that they bought Manhattan Island from the In dians. Afternoon papers of the east car ried the Sechriest item not as a re port but as a fact early last week. Shame on the sports writer of the High Point Enterprise who built his readers up for a nice, juicy bit of scandal in connection with the High Point college-Hanes Hosiery basketball game, only to let them down w-ith a dull, sickening thud. Wrote he: me ramners ana nanes lert me floor at half time with nothing set tled, the score at 25-25. But Pres ident G. I. Humphreys had the in spiration in his hip pocket.-” And then, with the readers all on edge to find out how a college president in dry Guilford could get away with that sort of thing, he added: "It was a class ring gift—" Funny place to carry a class ring. Vance is one county in which Leap Year seems to be no part of success for the ladies so far this year. The Henderson Daily Dispatch reports that in February only thi-e" marriage licenses were issued in the entire county—a new all-time low so far as it learned. The supreme court, after listen ing to seemingly interminable hours of argument in the two High Poin. power cases last week, has only a dozen causes on the calendar which will be called beginning tomorrow. An unusual feature is that not r single criminal case is on the cal endar, which is for the fourth and seventeenth districts. Add to the list of house members trying for the senate this year the name of Martin county's Hugh Horton. His entry gives the sec ond district three announced can didates and makes it more doubtful that William B. Rodman of Beau fort will run for a third term. squawked. And then, trucks full ol fan mail began arriving. It appear ed that practically all feminine fans between the ages of 12 and 20 had developed a new crush. He got his first co-star Hilling only a few months ago—with Bren da Joyce in ‘‘Here I Am a Strang er.‘ B it not until “Little Old New York,” just now being released, die Greene ever have a big, substantia role and a real chance to act. His studio was surprised and pleased tc discover that he really can act, anc it expects him to win a more sub stantial fan following. Somehow, Hollywood had thought of Greene as a he-Cinderella. Act ualiy he came from a prominent theatrical family and had thorough training in England, along with some screen and considerable stage experience. “And it’s a good thing ] did,” he said, “or I’d never have been able to keep my head out ol the clouds. “Coming here at 19, of course I was excited, but not exactly dazzled, I had a pretty good notion of what it was all about, and I had friends here who helped me hang onto my perspective. In fact, I've privately got a lot more misgivings about my job now than I had when I came.” * * * Will Soon Marry Virginia Field He’s admired and envied, locally as a young man who has led his own life in spite of some gracious concessions to publicity romances and such. He’s engaged to Virginia Field and they’ll probably marry within a few months, although they have no actual plans beyond the firm determination to ha-, e a rea: wedding and honeymoon. Greene lives in a rented, modes! little hillside house and is planning to buy a small home (on FHA) in the valley. He has a lot of Amer ican friends, speaks in the Amer ican idiom, and most of all wants to own a cow ranch in Arizona. Carolina News Shorts I —__ (By The Associated Press) GOLDSBORO — A bond issue of $5,000,0C0 to aid Jews in Palestine will be floated in the United States within the next month and a half. Details of the plan were given to the semi-annual meeting of the Sea board Zionist council here yester day by Daniel Ellison of Baltimore, president of the council. Ellison told the meeting that America was the only hope for work Jewry. INFLUENZA TOLL RALEIGH — In.luenza killed 224 persons in North Carolina in Janu ary, the health department report ed today. In January, 1939, there were but 53 influenza deaths. Pneumonia deaths rose from 315 in January, 1939, to 327 in January, 1940.

DUKE’S DWIRE DUNN — Henry Dwire of Dur ham, Duke university alumni secre tary, will speak to the Harnett County Medical society at a "ladies’ night ' meeting tomorrow in the Er win teacherage. SCOUT DRIVE KANNAPOLIS — A Boy Scout campaign in Cabarrus county, slightly under its $3,000 g.al, will be continued another week. s. Income Tax DEDUCTION FOR TAX ON MOTOR GAS If an automobile is used for both business and pleasure, those main tenance and operating exjienses which constitute allowable deduc tions for federal income-tax pur poses should be allocated to the two uses o.i the basis of the time the car is used for each. For exam ple, if the total expense of opera tion and maintenance, plus depre j eiation, for tjie taxable year amount j ed to $800 and the car was used three-fourths of the time for busi ness and the balance of the time j for pleasure, the allowable dcduc I tions fur federal income-tax pur | poses, would be $600. In general, taxes are deductible only by the persou upon whom they are imposed arid by whom they are paid. If a law imposing a tax on gasoline by its terms imposes the tax on the consumer and not on the dealer, the consumer may deduct as a tax, for federal income-tax pur poses, the amount of the gasoline tax paid by him; but the taxpayer must have kept records of the pay ment of such taxes in order that the deduction may be substantiated as is required by tlie law" and regu lations. The federal gasoline tax is not deductible by the consumer. The taxpayer may ascertain wheth er a state gasoline tax is deducti ble by the consumer or by the deal er by addressing an inquiry to the collector of internal revenue for his district. In any case where the gasoline purchased is used for business pur poses, the tax may be regarded as a part of the cost of the gasoline and deducted as a business ex pense; but in such case the gaso line tax cannot be deducted separ ately as a tax under the item of taxes.
