So called "stunt" flights of a dozen years ago are paying dividends today. They not only made pos sible the marvelous engines and planes, they developed some of our greatest airmen.

L Tar Heel Soldiers May Register For Carolina Primary Raleigh, Jan. 26. ? Attorney General Harry McMullan tcday had ruled that North Carolin ians serving in the armed forces are entitled to "register by ab sentee" for voting in the primary in May 1944. The ruling was 'issued on a question from Col. W. T. Joyner, chairman of the State Board of Elections, as to whether such ab sentee registration is permitted under provisions of the State law. Joyner explained that it ap peared that the law provided that men in service were permitted to "register by absentee" for the general election but not> for the primary. McMullan ruled that any per son in the armed forces or aux iliary services who already Is reg istered. or who registers as au thorized by the 1943 act, legally may vote in the May primary up-; on making a proper declaration ! of party affiliation. Secretary of State Thad Eure, i earlier this month in outlining the 1943 provisions said that auyj man "who is not already register ed but who is qualified to register (21 years of age) and who ap-' plies by mail for an absentee bal lot for a general election, may be registered by the chairman of the county board of elections if he is found by said chairman to; be qualified to register . . . for all State, national and local of Sen. Van Nuys Is Dead Washington, Jan. 25. ? Sen. Frederick Van Nuys. 69-year-old , chairman of the Judiciary Com- 1 mittee, died early today at his j home near Vienna, Va., after a! brief illness. He had served in the Senate since March 4, 1933, taking an active part 'in legislative affairs j and leading Democratic opposi tion to some New Deal measures.' Last Fall the Indianan started a sweeping investigation of the liquor industry, introducing a res olution calling for a probe into the shortage of whiskey and al leged monopoly of supply. His committee had scheduled a hear ing in this investigation for to day. In addition to the judiciary j chairmanship, Van Nuys also was I a member of the Senate Commit- j ees on Foreign Relations, Indian | Affairs, and Executive Expend!-; tures. Frequently at odds with the Administration, Van Nuys fought: President Roosevelt's court reor-l ganization plan 'in 1937 and was aligned against the Administra tion on many other issues. However, he was a staunch supporter of President Roose velt's foreign policies even in the controversial period before the war. His announcement that he would support repeal of the arms embargo in 1939 assured the Ad ministration measure majority support within the Foreign Rela tions Committee which had been almost evenly divided. Van Nuys was the Senate spon sor for the controversial anti lynch'ing bill, which still is pend ing before the Judiciary Commit tee. He made several attempts to force Senate action on the measure, always being balked by a Southern filibuster. He also advocated Federal legislation to outlaw the poll tax as a qualifica tion for voting. flees." McMullan said In yesterday's ruling: "No provision Is made 'in the 1841 act for registering a vo ter who Is not already registered on the party books. The purpose of this act, however, clearly dem onstrates that it was the Intent of the General Assembly to per mit every duly quallfled and reg istered voter who is in the armed services of our country to vote in the primary election of the party with which the voter is affiliated. "Under the 1943 act above re ferred to, there is no question but that the absent elector who is quallfled to vote In the general election, 1944, could be duly reg istered on the temporary regis tration book or list required to be kept under the provisions of that statute. "Being a duly registered voter, and quallfled to vote in absentee ballot in the general election at the time a request is made by the voter for absentee ballots to vote fn the primary of the party of his affiliation, this registration would make a voter qualifled to vote in the primary election and provide the registration necessary for this purpose, if the voter at the time of registering or at the proper time thereafter before the primary should declare his party affiliation, in order that the ap propriate primary ballots might be sent to him." i The Raleigh District Office of Price Administration compiles this thumb-nail ration guide from official sources weekly for the FRANKLIN TIMES as a public service feature.
