Plane Crashes Near Highway Narrowly MIwmw Stream of Traf fic; Wornt Air Accident ou Re cord Here Halelgh. ? Two Philadelphia men were killed near here Sunday when their plane stalled and; crashed 300 yards South of the airport on U. S. Highway 1B-A. j The plane struck only a few feot> from the road and narrowly miss ed a stream of Sunday auto traf fic. The pilot, Joseph Neuberger, 33, died 20 minutes after being taken to Rex Hospital. His pas senger, James L. Sltnek. 24, also a licensed pilot, was killed in- . stantly. It was the worst* crash on I record here. Neuberger had received his li- I cense as a private pilot only 11 ! days ago. Airport attendants said that his log showed that he was accustomed to flying lighter craft' than the 125 horsepower Fair child 24, in which he was killed. Traffic Tied Up The crash, which attracted j thousands of Sunday riders, tied up traffic on the interstate artery fo^almost 30 mlnuties. State High ~?Siy Patrolman A. E. Leavitt said. The tail of the plane jutted out over the road. Neuberger had presence of mind enough to cut off the Igni tion switch on the plane before the crash. Gasoline was spread for an area of 16 feet) around the demolished craft. Airport attend ants said that If the pilot had not cut the Ignition Are would have resulted. Two witnesses to the crash. H. K. Witiherspoon, of the State Highway and Public Works Com mission, and his son, H. K. With -trspoon, Jr., missed being hit by the falling ship by only a few | yards. # -"We were only 20 yards down the road when the plane crashed," ! said Witherspoon. "The ship was apparently coming from the North. It circled the field once ' and then headed South. Cutting Duck to land on the Sout'h runway j from the East, the plant- sudden ly flipped on its side and crashed into a ditch only a few yards from the highway. "The craft was too low and was j filing too slow to make a landing. I It couldn't quite make the field and crashed on ite left win-g and i nose." Speed Too l*ow Airport attendants verified Weatherspoon's account. They said that the plane's speed was too slow to allow a successful landing. The pilot was said to have attempted to spin into the runway after his plane stalled at .00 feet altitude. Ilis spin was re- 1 ported as too sharp, and the plane struck the ground with its left' wing. So great was the Impact that the nose of the ship was bur ied into the ground. Neuberger had 73 1-2 hours of flying to his credit. His license was issued for the Class 2 type of plane trtiat he was flying on Jan uary 31. Sitnek's log book cred ited him with 64 hours of flying. The crash was the second fatal one in the 11 -year history of the airport. On June 1, 1935, J. E. Sates, professor of aerodynamics and mathematics at State College, was killed when his plane stalled in a steep bank and fell In a tall spin. ALBANY STARTS REPAIRING DAMAGE DONE BY TORNADO Albany. Ga.. Feb. 11. ? Torna do-damaged Albany sifted It* ruins today, revised Its death list to 17 ? one white woman and 16 Negroes ? and set) about rebuild ing devastated property valued at from $6,000,000 to $9,000,000. Red Cross Field Director Jam ?s W. Culling announced the re vised death list. He said estimates in excess of 20 last night result ed from duplication of reports. More than 300 persons were treat ed for injuries, he said. Meanwhile, National Guards men with bayonets looked on as more than 500 workers started systematic check-up of damaged buildings in the downtown area and undertook the task of remov ing tons of twisted stoel and 'crumbling masonry. Sixty truoks were assigned to the clean-up Job after tractors Jerked down totter ing walls. The cltlxens Were encouraged, however, by a telgram from Pres ident Roosevelt senti to Francis Shnrllng of the National Emer gency Council. "Please extend every assistance within your power to the stricken community of Albany, and ask Mayor Haley to convey to all suf ferers from the tornado my heart felt sympathy as their friend and neighbor," the telegram read. The President's Georgia home at Warm Springs is within a hun dred miles of the storm damaged area. Elsewhere In the three-mile rescent where the tornado struck t-arly yesterday morning damage was less severe, although an esti mated 1,000 persons remained homeless. Most of them were quartered with friends or In pub lic bnlldings. The revised death list today identified only 11 of the 17 vic tims. Billy ? Uncle Mike, you are qot married, are you? Uncle Mike?

At right, the artist-author in his cow boy outfit. Picture of "T. R." was Painted During His Lifetime. NEW YORK? Because of world condition*, doubtless more people will visit the New York World's Fair in 1940 than previously. A timely tip in advance, to admirers of Teddy Roosevelt and bis colorful life in our West, is to be sure to see a remarkable painting of "T. R." and his Rough Riders by W. R. Leigh at the Grand Central Art Galleries, New York, or the African Hall, opening into the Roosevelt Memorial at the New York Museum of Natural History. Here the hack gi omuls of the African groups lake one fur oft into the land whi<;h Roosevelt loved next best to 111* own United State*. Strange to say. these paintings are also by William Robinson Leigh, a Virginian, aud descendant of Pocahontas, whose path so often led him to the same neve f - If) - be forgot ten distant spots as those traveled, by this explorer President of ours. To obtain the studies for these groups. Leigh accompanied T. R.'s old friend. Carl Akrley, on his last trip to Africa. Akeley selected Leigh from a group of America's eminent painters to carry out his plan, which was to revolutionize and modernize display in the museums of natural history the world over. Akeley's un tiijielv death necessitated Leigh's making a second trip to Africa ? this time with the Carlisle Clark Expedition for the Museum of Na tural History, when he was accom panied by his wife, Ethel Trap hagen, the founder of the Traphagen School of Fashion. It was after this and other trips to Africa that Leigh wrote "Fron tiers of Kuch'iiilment". a book which is acclaimed by critics from coast to coast, and which gives a first hand account of Akeley's tragic end. A collection of twenty of Leigh's pictures have been on exhibition at the Milwaukee Institute of Art dur ing this winter. One of his pictures [is in the possession of His Majesty, the King of the Belgians. Anoth i is the property of the Duke ol Windsor. "Custer's Last Fight" ami (he "Lookout" have recently been acquired by a museum in the South west. "Rough Riders", however, had a double appeal. It is a unique pic ture of Teddy Roosevelt, represent ing liim while he was training the Rough Riders in Texas prior to his campaign in Cuba, anil his two favorite lieutenants, O'Neal <wli? Ml in Cuba), on a bay. and Brody on his white horse. It is a repre sentative painting by one of the few men who are left who knew the old West and painted it truly at its drnmatif height. The Grand Cen tral Art Galleries ai-e indeed for tunate- to have secured this historic work for exhibition during the Worlds Kair. MISS. Tl'i'K MARRIKI> TO SAMUEI, \. MILLS Franklinton. ?

FILING FEEM FIXED BY ATTORNEY GENERAL Ansnrrs Inquiries Regarding Members of Legislature And (KTirfn I'aid by Fees Answering two inquiries, Attor ney General Harry McMullan re cently ruled, that the filing fee for membera of the General Assem bly must pay a filing fee of six dollars and that persons filing for offices in which payment is on a fee baais, must pay the same fee us that paid by the incumbent. The last General Assembly in creased filing fees for local offi ces, fixing t'hem at one per cent of the salary for the first year, the amount already paid by candidat es for State offices. In addition, it was provided that when the compensation of an office is from fees, the minimum filing fee shall be live dollars, and If the Incum bent of t/he office during the pro coding year reeeivod more than $500. the filfng fee should be one per cenl of the amount so receiv ed. The Constitution nxes ine pay of members of the Ge^ieral Assem bly at $600 "for the term," which is two years. The question was raised by Representative U. S. Page of Bladen. Mr. MacMullan wrote Mr. Page that as the Legis lature meets during the first year of the term and the salary is paid that year the filing fee would be ?6. Id responbe to an inquiry of K. G. Wilson. Winston-Salem cousui ble, the Attorney General held that opponents must pay thr same filing (ee as incumbents in offices where the compensation is obtain ed from fees. The average of wage rates paid hired farm workers over the coun try dropped a little less than us ual during the past few weeks, reports the U. S. Agricultural Marketing Service.
