FBI AID ASKED IN DEVOLL CASE Brunswick Sheriff Report ed To Have Asked Agents To Assist Investigation into the mysterious laying of army Sergt. David J. rvvoH, whose body was found in parked automobile near Shallotte -early May. took a new turn last night with an official request that FBI special agents stationed here lahe a hand in the case. The request was made by Sher is John B. White of Brunswick county, whose action in this re nect gave indication that the in vestigation has produced involve mintr in the two states of North Carolina and South Carolina. Assuming this to be the case, it naturally follows that the Bruns wck sheriff would need the as sistance of an investigative body empowered to move without re straint in interstate activity. Devoil, a mess sergeant attach t(i to the Army installation at Myrtle Beach, S. C., was slump ed in the front seat of his own four-door sedan, parked on the shoulder of U. S. Highway 117 near Shallotte, when found by a farm woman who chanced to be walking or Th» automobile had been ob jcrved parked there during the jEy, but it remained for the wom pedestrian to peer into the car and make the gruesome discovery. The young non-com had been shot through the neck, a shotgun charge having taken effect. Death apparently had been instantaneous. The upper part of his white army mess uniform bore deep blood dis colorations, officers found._ Blood also appeared on both sides of the sedan at the doors. Sheriff White, in pursuing a dose investigation of the crime, has been assisted by army officers 8t the Myrtle Beach installation. The Brunswick sheriff’s probe of the case leads him to the con viction that Devoll was murdered either at or near Myrtle Beach and his body transported into Brunswick county in the slain man’s own car. Devoll some months ago married i young woman who lived in the vicinity of Shallotte. She previous ly had been married when she met Devoll, officers state. Mrs. Devoll is now employed in a Wilmington restaurant. The Brunswick sheriff is believ ed to have made considerable headway in recent steps of the investigation, and it is believed h* may have one or more suspects in mind. However, Sheriff White has yet to disclose whether he has estab lished a motive for the slaying. HOW GOOD IS YOUR MEMORY?

Johnson, in his address tonight, commended the sheriffs for their activity in public life and termed them lenders of the people. He dwelt at length on schools and highways. North Carolina, he said, is the only state in the union operating a nine-month, 12-grade school term solely from state funds and maintaining and constructing all state roads. “All other states,” he said, “give some aid to both, but in no case more than 50 per cent of the cost. “Other states have fine roads and school systems where there is wealth, but in those sections where very little wealth exists, the people are left largely to their own resources to have such schools and roads as they can pro vide for themselves. “We take the position in North Carolina that just because a boy or girl lives in a rural section where there is very little wealth and where people themselves could not have good roads and schools, they should not be pena lized. “Here, the state sees to it they have equal opportunity with those who live in communities where wealth is abundant.” Praise for the financial position of the state also was given by the gubernatorial candidate. He called attention to the fact that for the first time in 100 years “we have no general fund debt, it already having been provided for.” Johnson also declared that there is enough money in the highway fund to liquidate the highway debt, but said this would not be done immediately as the money was needed to improve the pre sent highway system and build farm to market roads. TThe principal amount of the highway debt will be paid off or provided for by 1951, he added. REDS PROTEST (Continued From Page One) whatever economic measures they consider necessary in their zones. The state department said U. S. Ambassador W. Bedell Smith delivered a protest to the Soviet Foreign office on August 14, stat ing that this government saw “no reason” why Dairen should not be reopened immediately. The memorandum recalled that this government sent a similar note to Moscow last January with out results, and it asked for spe cific information on what steps Russia was prepared to take to reopen the port. The department also announced that Russia so far has ignored Secretary of State George C. Mar shall’s August 12 note asking the Soviets to agree to preliminary consideration of the Japanese peace treaty by 11 allied nations rather than by the Big Four.
