WAS A PIONEER
Death in a burning Dutch passenger :
plane of Juan de la Cierva at Croydon, Eng- '
land, airport took the only man who had 1
successfully approached aircraft construc
tion from a new angle since the Wrights
flew at Kitty Hawk, on the coast of Caro
lina.
His interest in the autogyro or rather
his first idea of such craft, he said, was
when he was instructed as a young pilot in
the Spanish army to take aloft for his solo
flight a fat, elderly Spanish general. As they i
approached the plane the general ordered
him to fly low and slow.
It was some time after this before he
actually went to work on the gyro principle,
but the words of the fat general, he said,
stayed with him, the desire on the part of i
those unaccustomed to air travel to fly low
and slow.
He was not by any means the first man
to think of a propeller as a lifting device but
he was the first to consider a type of pro
peller to be used for gliding purposes, which,
fundamentally, is what the gyro blades are.
Tremendous expense of construction
had kept its development from proceeding
rapidly but the work was going right along
and will continue. The Pitcairn interests of
Philadelphia, which operated the first air
mail line through this section on the Wash
ington-Atlanta run, have been and are fi
nancing additional work oil the autogyro.
Harold Pitcairn, head of the firm which built
the famous Pitcairn Mailwings, is personally
tremendously interested in possibilities of
the autogyro and is expected to continue re
search and construction of what he believes
is the logical plane for use of the average
man who aspires to air travel.
ONE CRISIS PAST
Edward has made his choice and an
other European crisis is over.
Remarkable, indeed, has been the num
ber of matters of tremendous importance
which have come up in Europe or in matters
related to Europe within the past year or so.
The love of the king and Mrs. Simpson
was not the only matter at stake in England. 1
It was a problem of far deeper significance. 1
The question of the king following the ad- '
vice of his ministers not only in marriage •
but in public affairs was at stake. The king 1
lost. Ever since the death of his father. 1
conservative British statesmen or politicians
had been viewing with considerable alarm,
evidence of the king’s interest in the more *
unfortunate in England. In some American £
periodicals the statement had been made s
that Edward is a Roosevelt while Baldwin is 1
a Mellon and that the cabinet, composed of E
Baldwin "supporters, was taking a similar po- 1
sition to that which would have been taken
by a Hoover cabinet with a Roosevelt as
president. c
In England, however, the cabinet is the 1
final authority. Here the President can de- c
mand the resignation of a cabinet member. c
In England the cabinet can demand and get 4
the abdication of a king. c
But these developments in England, like ‘
those in other European countries, show the
uncertainty today; the possibility of almost
any type of occurrence which might happen <
at any time.
That some of the English possessions c
have taken the unofficial view that the en- c
tire Simpson affair was used by the conser- c
vatives of England to get rid of a king they '
did not like is well known. That some of these (
possessions may want to get more liberty for
themselves is likewise indicated by threat
ened action of the Irish Free State before the
actual abdication was announced.
, If the Italian premier is correct in his
statement during the height of the Ethiop
ian affair that the British "Empire had seen
its glory and was now slowly sinking from
THE world power into a minor position de
velopments in the next few years will be of
even greater interest than they have been
for the past few months.
Anything can and may happen in Eu
rope. Likewise is the situation in Asia.
it begins, to appear every day that Presi
dent Roosevelt knew what he was talking
about in his statement to Congress, for which
he was criticized, when he said the state of
the world was perilous and that his action in
bringing closer together North and South
America in an effort to keep from the west
ern hemisphere any of the threatened dang
ers to the Old World was far-sighted and
may be of inestimable value for the peace of
this nation.
What Other Papers Say \
A KING’S LAMENT
(Spartanburg Herald)
Last Sunday In St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburg
Rev. Charles Warr said to assembled knights of the
3rder of the Thistle, of which he is dean: “Our
houghts are with the King in what must inevitably \
>e for him a time of acute personal distress. In the
ace of such a decision as His Majesty must soon be
called upon to make—a decision which involves not
>nly himself but the empire, comprising one-quarter
>f the world’s inhabitants—we must recognize with
sympathy and respect his ultimate loneliness at this
;ritical hour.”
King Edward today, and he has been for several
weeks, is one of the world’s loneliest men. He is not
remitted to speak his mind to the British people.
\ccordlng to custom that must be done through his
ninisters. In his fortress-like palace of Port Belve
lere he holds conversations only with members of the
oyal family, the British premier, his personal at
orney and his physician. All social engagements
rave been canceled. He can go and come as he pleas
!S, but he travels alone.
More than three centuries ago Richard m was
Cing of England. His life was stormy and history has
lardly done justice to his career and reign. In his
listorical play, “Richard III,” Shakespeare wrote the
ollowing lines:
T is better to be lowly born,
And range with humble livers in
content.
Than to be perked up in a glistering
grief.
And wear a golden sorrow.
The sentment in those Shakespearean lines must
ippeal to Britain’s young King in the perilous days
through which he and his empire are passing.
CAROLINA AND THE PAPER MILL*
(Asheville Citizen)
Decision of a New Jersey company to build a $1,
>00,000 paper mill at Plymouth, in this State, encour
ages the hope that in the development of this great
.ndustry, which promises to be facilitated in large
neasure by the adaptability of slash pine to paper
making purposes, will not leave this State out of the
picture.
North Carolina is ideally located for the establish
ment and development of a great paper Industry. Its
.owns and cities are situated in close proximity to
he raw material, transportation facilities are as good
is can be found in other states, labor may be had in
sufficient quantities, and electric power is both cheap
*nd abundantly available. We need to keep on the qui
<ive for other plants of this character, letting the
sponsors of such projects know of the advantages we
can offer in this field.

Nobody’s Business
— By GEE McGEE __
S-W-I-S-H!!
There's nothing strange or unusual about 37.000
people being killed every year by automobiles and
around 850.000 wounded by the same agency. You
won't wonder at this it you'll try to go somewhere i
yourself in a car, or stand near the highway or on 1
the sidewalks and watch the antics of so-called hu- I
man beings, motorized.
All of us. or at least—the majority of us. inelud- t
ing this writer, lose our sense of fear, respect for oth- i
ers, as well as our sense and acting sensible. Just as '
soon as we hop in our car, press the starter and 1
throw in the clutch. We want to start off by leaping
50 feet, either ofrward or backward, and then we try
to see how quickly we can reach 76 m. p. h.
No matter how fast the man or woman in front i
of us is going, we have a deep-seated desire to pass 1
him and her and them. A person that bats 100 per- |
cent in intelligence in his office or at a movie or at (
church or at even a stag party, won’t bat over 50 or
45 when he drives an automobile. Something gets
out of adjustment automatically just as soon as he :
gives her the gas. i
Just Hbout 2 persons of 10 STOP. Oue out of
every 30 possibly LOOKS, but only 1 out of 500 LIS
TENS, and even the, he’s listening to what his sweetie
or his cutie or his wife is saying. Believe it or not,
children under the age of 16 are the most careful
drivers on the road. You can’t recall but few, if any,
wrecks where children or a child was at the wheel.
Urown folks think they can drive when they can't.

No law- that has ever been enacted in these dig- i
gings has any teeth in it. We occasionally fine a <
drunk around *50. for driving while intoxicated, but 1
he still has 75 cents left to buy another pint and get 1
drunk on. He should forfeit his license if he drives 1
drunk and hurts somebody. After he stays sober a ,
few months, give him another chance, the final one.

Washington
Daybook
By PRESTON GROVER
'Assoelateil Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON.—The social se
curity board is suffering one of its
worst pains trying to solve the ques
tion of exempting private pension
plan from the fed
eral system.
Senator Clark
Df Missouri led a
fight for such ex
emptions when
the social secur
ity act was framed
In 1935. But some
body got to him
with a basketful
3f explanations of
how difficult it
vas to make equit
able exemptions I
and he agreed to HESTON L CtOVEf
work a while with experts to per
fect an exemption plan.
That was in 1935. He worked
with the experts all through the
1936 session and each time report-j
:rs asked him what he planned to!
lo he simply commented that prog-1
press was being made but the task;
vas complex. It was so complex
hat Clark put nothing before the
ast session. Even now the social
ecurity board and its experts have
tot much on hand to help him when
he new congress begins asking
luestions.
Pro And Con
The purpose of exemptions was
0 permit sound private pension
lyslems to exist without the added
Mirden of the federal tax on pay
oils which begins January 1 at
me per cent on employer and em
iloye alike and ultimately swells to
hree per cent each or six per cent
>f the amount of the payroll.
Some Industries have announced
hey would continue their own plans i
egardlass of the additional federal
ax. Some have indicated the tax
vas more than they could pay and
Hill retain thuir old plan, the re-1
lult is that numbers of employes. |
(specially those with their own!
omfortable pensions in sight, fear'
hey will lose all, since the federal !
>lan promises very little to persons'
ilmost of pension age
The social security board con
ends that most private plans bene-!
it primarily the long time employe, i
ie who works a short period for
everal companies accumulate little]
t nothing toward a pension al-!
hough his total years of work may !
te many. Under the federal plan
1 man's wages fatten his pension
ven when earned from several com
>anies at different times.
Mnch Pressure Expected
Social security officials recognise,
rich no particular joy, that unless
omething is done certain private
iension plans offering $800 a month
r more retirement pay may be
cuttled. The federal system pays
86 a niumh at the very top.
Congress and the board haven't j
alfway solved the issue yet but
hey expect multiplied pressure!
u.m back home now that the taxi
about to go into eifect with its
anger to private plans. j

Sundown Stories
For The Kiddies
More Work
Willy Nilly had driven back to
his own house, had taken off Sweet
Face’s plaster cast and had re
turned to the empty house with the
lajnb.
"You had better not be too ac
tive for a day or so." Willy Nilly
told the lamb, “although your leg
has healed perfectly.”
It was a relief, indeed, to have
the cast off, and everyone stopped
for a moment to see that Sweet
Face's leg was the same as ever
Then Christopher said:
“It’s just your lamb luck to get
out of this house-cleaning work.”
Christopher couldn’t resist mak
ing a little remark like that—after
he was quite sure the lamb’s leg
was all right. In his crow heart he
had been afraid that perhaps It
wouldn’t turn out just as it had.
He was relieved that it was as
strong as ever.
“No more time for t Willy
Nilly told Christopher must
finish this job by sundown.”
So they worked and they work
ed and they worked, and after they
had finished Willy Nilly went around
to see that everything was clean
and in order.
Then Rip helped him bring in
kindlings and wood for the fire
places and stove, and then Willy
Nilly told them to jump in the au
tomobile Two-Ways to have sup
per back in Puddle Muddle. As
they were driving home it began to
snow.
“I’ll put away my automobile j
now,” Willy Nilly said as they ar-1
rived at his house, “and then we’ll!
have supper at once.”
And it wasn’t until they had fin- j
ished their meal that Willy Nilly |
told his plan. They agreed that it
was one worth waiting to hear.

Skyscraper Height
In Sydney Brings
Division of Opinion
SYDNEY, New South Wales —
Considerable interest has been
aroused here by the contention of
the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Alder- j
man Archibald Howie, that the I
growth of the city and the rise in;
land values must eventually force
' an extension of the present maxi
i mum building height of 150 feet.
This height limit was introduced
in 1916. Previously it had been 100
feet.
The majority of expert opinion
seems to be against an increase in
f the limit. Even those who support
the contention of the Lord Mayor
j suggest that the maximum should
; be not higher than 250 feet.
The vice-president of the Master
Builders association, F. Wilson, said
