Atlantic Monthly, Commentator,
the American Magazine. He is
regularly employed as a columnist
by the New York Herald Tribune,
and his articles are distributed to
many newspapers by the syndicate
operated by that newspaper. His
platform presence is impressive,
iis subjects closely allied with
contemporary sociological and eco
nomic nrnblems.
Jay Franklin is one of the few
men lecturing in America on pub

ence as economic adviser to the
state department in Washington,
and in the American embassies in
Rome and Constantinople, togeth
er with his years of experience as
a correspondent, columnist and
special writer for leading Ameri

instructions “you’d never get any
legislation.”
Rep. Lea (D-Calif) also defended
elimination of the Wadsworth
amendment contending it would re
sult in increased freight and pas
senger rates.
The conference version of the
bill contained provisions to pro
tect labor from the effect of con
solidations and reorganizations by
providing that workers eliminated
by such orders be compensated for
a period up to four years. For
example, a man who had been
employed one year would be com
pensated for one year, while a man
employed four years or more,
would draw pay for a maximum
of four years.
Charges that the legislation
would “destroy” water carriers
were denied by Halleck who said
that “with the country committed
to a policy of regulation in trans
portation it is only fair that ail
forms should be regulated.” The
Interstate Commerce commission,
I he added, “didn’t wreck the motor
carriers.”
Rep. Whittington (D-Miss) pro
tested that the conference com
mittee wrote language into the bill
repealing provisions of the Pana
ma Canal act prohibiting railroads
from acquiring ownership or con
trol of competing water carriers.
Whitting contended this action
of the committee “crucifies” com

I Interpreting The War
BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON
The Battle of Britain is thunder
ing unmistakably toward a crisis
that may determine the fate oi
England.
If the outside world knew exactly
how many planes and trained air
men each side is losing, it mighl
make a pretty good guess at the
outcome. But this vital informa
tion is blacked out by irreconcil
able reports from Berlin and Lon
don.
Air mastery is the high stake
Germany is playing for in the titan
ic struggle raging almost continu
ously along England’s channel
coast. She must attain it to win and
She must attain it to win and
weeks, even days, may decide the
issue.
Aerial “Knock-out”
Time is forcing the Nazis to at
tempt an aerial “knock-out.” By
mid-September weather probabilit
ies will weigh against either a gen
eral aerial assault or an invasion.
There has been no hint from Ber
lin as to whether an invasion is to
follow the growing air blitzkrieg,
although the scene of the fiercest
encounters in the Dover -Ports
mouth sector of the channel coast
indicated that it might possibly be
the opening of a continuous air
bomb barrage to pave the way for
invasion.
It is in that sector that Britain’s
army and navy are concentrated
especially. Repeated Nazi attacks
on England’s major naval bases on
the channel, well might mean final
preparation for an attempt to land
troops.
Somewhere, at the nerve centers
of the German and British high
commands, statistical data is avail
able on losses of planes and oi
plane crews in seven weeks of daily
raiding and counter raiding. This
information would go far to fore
shadow the outcome of the struggle
for air mastery could it be com
pared and checked. Moreover, per
sonnel losses, rather than planes
brought down in action, could prove
the deciding factor.
Short of Expectations
It is unlikely that both sides are
right in reporting their own air cas
ualties. If they are, the actual toll
of life and planes in the most dead
ly air battles in history falls far
short of the expectations of mili
tary observers. They have always
believed that losses would be terri
ble when two forces even relatively
well matched in numbers and skill
were opposed.
It follows necessarily, then, that
one side or the other is concealing
losses that already go far toward
indicating where victory must ulti
mately rest. Lacking such data,
distant observers are wholly at a
loss to sift truth from propaganda,
or to weigh the progress of the
fight.
Unofficial reports from Berlin,
probably traceable to returning
German air crews, say British
fighters are already refusing com
bat over England to conserve wan
ing air strength. Eye witness ac
counts from England fail to bear
that out. On the contrary, they
picture Royal Air Force fighters
as leaping to meet approaching en
emy bombers farther at sea.
The British have one advantage
due to their defensive role. A sub
stantial portion of the crews of
British planes shot down bail out by
parachute and survive to fight
again. Nazi losses of air personnel
are net losses. Every' German
plane brought down in England or
in waters close about England
means death or imprisonment for
its entire crew,. 1
NEW HANOVER MAY

bers of the house. For approxi
mately 20 years, Guilford. Wake,
Mecklenburg and Forsyth have led
in the number of representatives,
with three each.
The survey also indicated that
Bumcombe would gain a represen
tative, joining Wake and Forsyth
as the counties with three mem
bers each. Cabarrus also will gain
a representative, going from one
to two.
Since the total membership of
the house is fixed by the state
constitution at a total of 120, four
counties would lose a representa
tive, if Buncome, Guilford, Ca
barrus and Mecklenburg gain one
each.
The survey showed that these
four counties would be Halifax,
Nash, New Hanover and Rocking
ham, all of which have had two
members of the house.
Here’s what the survey showed
the house membership, by coun
ties:
Guilford and Mecklenburg would
have four members each.
Forsyth, Bumcombe, and Wake
would have three members each.
Durham, Gaston, Cabarrus,
Johnston, Pitt, Robeson, Rowan,
and Wayne would have two mem
bers each.
The survey was based entirely
on the census figures, whereas the
state constitution provides that in
reapportioning the house aliens and
indians not taxed shall be excluded.
Several state officials, however,
said that the number of aliens and
indians was not sufficient to change
the results of the survey.
Reapportionment of the Senate
was pot figured, because the leg
islature has the power to alter
senatorial districts, and any com
putation would be meaningless. 2

Greeks had placed a price, and
declared he had been killed by
two Albanians who fled to Greece
and were immediately arrested.
(“The Italian government
through its Athens legation has
made known its intention to de

said a statement by the minister
of propaganda. "Greece wishes to
make it clear first that the al

ing ground guns and attempting to
wear out British pilots by forcing
them to maintain 24-hour patrols
And to bolster the morale of the
German people.
This last aim was indicated by
elaborate running accounts of the
fighting carried by German radio
stations.
The attack on the Portsmouth
docks met with “little success,”
the British declared as they ack
nowledged "several” fatalities, and
slight damage to jetties and the
sinking of two small harbor craft.
The Portsmouth railway station
was struck, fires started, and some
buildings were ripped apart, but
the British said the casualties were
slight considering the great num
ber of bombs dropped.
“Slight damage” was inflicted
on British airdromes farther in
land, and a church and several
houses leveled on The isle of Wight.
Civilian damage also was reported
along the entire coastline eastward
to Dover.
Witnesses saw flaming Nazi cratt
plummet into the sea and crash
ashore. They said most of the
bombs fell into the sea or in iso
lated sections, but some smashed
houses and knocked civilians
sprawling hundreds of yards
away. 2

Train schedules were cancelled.
Streets in the business section ran
waist deep with water when the
wind and the tide swept up the
river. Docks were smashed and
all except one boat in the harbor
were sunk. 2
Syndicate Sinks
J'he racing yacht Syndicate,
owned by BJ1 Scheppner, sank at
her moorings. Another 30 - foot
pleasure boat that came into
Beaufort harbor Saturday, as yet
unidentified, also sank.
City officials estimated damage
to Beaufort alone would run above
$100,000.
Governor Burton Maybank of
South Carolina left today for Beau
tort to make a personal survey of
losses and plan relief work.
The Works Projects Administra
tion set up an emergency project
and employed 500 men to clear up
Savannah. Other relief agencies
organized to render aid were need
ed. ..
Lt. Commander Melson of the
Coast Guard took off from the air
base at Charleston and flew over
Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms,
Morris Island and Folly Island.
He said bad weather prevented
any survey of damage except for
a large number of houses demol
ished on the* beach fronts.
News was slow to trickle out of
Charleston. It was the worst blow
to strike the city since 1911.
Emergency power crews set to
work to restore lines for vital serv
ices. Highway workers struggled
to clear trees and fill washouts
on the roads.

biles from the islands moved
across the bridge in two and a
half hours yesterday. Each car
carried three to four passengers,
he said.
Several churches and a theatre
were damaged. Charleston’s police
chief, Chris H. Ortmann, said
there were no reports of disturb
ances or looting.
Cottages Destroyed
At Orangeburg, S. C., A. J. Gry

of no casualties.
Army officers at Fort McPher
son established radio communica
tion with Fort Moultrie shortly aft
er noon. They received no word
of casualties at Fort Screven, at
Savannah, nor from the Parris
island marine base.
Hundreds of telephones were out
of order in Savannah, and long
distance calls to all points in the
stricken regions were subjected to
long delays. Many of Savannah’s
beautiful oaks, sycamores and
palms were uprooted or broken.
One reporter said most of the trees
left standing were stripped bare
of leaves.
Stocks were ripped out of stores i
in the business section. Windows
and skylights were broken. Tin
was torn from roofs. Water st» v
ice was cut off for several hours.
The dead at Savannah were
identified as Jesse Wallace, an in
dustrial plant officer, who died of
a heart attack when a tree 1
crashed into his house, and Annie
Wade, a negro woman killed on j
the street by flying glass. Only one ;
fire occurred. This was at the <

BEAUFORT HIT
ST. GEORGE, S. C., Aug. 12.—
[ffh-Don Weldon fought his way
from Beaufort today with the first
account of yesterday’s tropical
hurricane assault on the historic
town of 3,200.
Weldon reported ten dead in
Beaufort county, said Beaufort’s
buildings were badly smashed and
the town completely cut off from
normal communication with the
mainland. Weldon said he was
editor of the Beaufort Times, a re
cently established weekly.
He gave this account to the As
sociated Press:
“Beaufort is terrifically smashed
up by a wind that old timers esti
mated at 80 to 90 miles an hour
and by tides that surged ten feet
above normal levels. Damage
may run to $1,000,000 or more. .
“The entire business area was
iooded two to three feet deep late !
yesterday afternoon when the blow
was at its height. Several of the
main business structures are com
plete losses, there is scarcely a
nouse in town that has not lost its
roof, or had it windows blown out
nr suffered other severe damage.
“The famed, old moss - draped
naks of Beaufort are practically
wiped out. There aren’t two
streets in town on which you can
Irive an automobile, so badly are
;hey chocked with fallen trees and
nther debris.
“As far as I know there have
neen no deaths in Beaufort, or
;ven any serious injuries, thanks
adequate warnings. But ten
legroes’ bodies have been recov
:red in Beaufort county.
“A mother and five children
irowned on the Eustace planta
icn at nearby St. Helena island.
?hree unidentified bodies were
vashed on the beach at St. Helena
md another negro was killed at
he hamlet of Frogmore..
“There are several thousand
armers and tenants on St. Helena
md adjoining Lady’s island, most
if them negroes, and it is expect
d that there will be several more
atalities when communications
re restored fully. A hurricane in
893 killed 400 on these islands.

1. Natural resources.
2. Adequate transportation facili

3- Competent leadership.
4. Spirited people.
And in connection with these four
factors, Broughton said:
“. . . I can testify that North Caro
lina is marvelously rich in natural
resources. . .”
"Railways, water lines, truck com
panies and airlines have made re
markable progress in our state dur
ing tbe past several years . . .”
“Leadership has brought our state
to the near pinnacle in industry in
the United States.”
". . . . it is significant of the spirit
of North Carolinians that they re

United States until the Bill of Rights
was added.”
The governor-nominate concluded
with “it is impossible to view the fu
ture with anything but confidence.”
When officers were elected during
the afternoon meeting, only one
change was made in the slate. That
was the addition of Ruffin as vice
president.
Other officers are: C. A. Cannon,
Kannapolis, president; J. T. Ryan,
High Point, chairman of the board
of governors; and W. S. Creighton,
Charlotte, seer- • ry-treasurer.
Two men were added to the board
of governors. They were M. L. Bauer,
Brevard, and N. A. Gregory, Dur
ham.
Discussions of freight rates ana
other problems affecting shippers

It shows an increase from 884,

GERMANY CLAIMS
CONTROL OF AIR
(Continued from Page One)
British convoys in the accentuated
campaign to destroy Britain's ship
ping and harbor facilities and de
moralize her people.
The Germans asserted a dive-bomb
ing attack on a convoy east of
Southend sank two freighters and
set another afire, .with the Germans
and British each losing a plane.
All British shipping and naval op
erations in the channel now are
greatly hampered, they said, because
of extensive destruction at Ports

The Germans appeared to be bomb

just north of Weymouth and Port
land, objects of Sunday’s forays.
Barely an hour after the battle
was resumed this morning, Gerraan
fighters radioed back the British
were showing evidences of the Sun
day raids by refusing to come out
and fight.
Instantly, German observers jump
ed to the conclusion: “We already
have established air superiority over
the channel.”
“This is the first sign of broken
British resistance,’’ they declared.
Throwing fresh pilots into the bat
