Brief Review Of State, National And World News During The Past Week
SENATOR SMITH WAS
BURIED ON SUNDAY
Washington — Funeral services
or Sen. Ellison D. (Cotton Ed)
(D-SC,) 80-year-old dean
i Senate, who died of a heart
at his Lynchburg, S. C.,
plantation last week, were held
.there Sunday.
A delegation of his Senate col
leagues attended. Burial was in
-the family plot at St. Luke’s
Cemetery.
Senator Smith died six weeks
before he was to yield the Senate
Mt he had held for 36 years.
Death ended a tempestuous ca
reer devoted to “king cotton,”
thundering tributes to the sancity
of s on them womanhood and
States’ rights, and vitriolic attacks
against President Roosevelt’s Ad
ministration.
Defeat at the polls already had
Slapped his span of 36 continous
years in the Senate—longer than
any other member in history. He
aras bested in the South Carolina
primary election last July by for
mer Gov. Olin D. Johnson and
was serving out the current ses
sion as a “lame duck.”
FIRE SWEEPS BELK’S
STORE AT BOONE, SAT.
'Boone—Belk’s department store
sitnated in the heart of the busi
ness district here was destroyed
by' fire of undetermined origin
which was discovered about 8:30
o’clock Saturday night. Loss'
was estimated unofficially at $75,
400 to $100,000. |
The blaze was prevented from
spreading to the Crest 5 and 10 i
cent store on one side and the A.
and P. store on the other by the'
Boone and Blowing Rock fire de-j
partment, but both establishments,
suffered smoke damage.
The Belk store closed at 7 p. m.

ed and at that time tables contain

NO AGREEMENT FOR
ARGENTINA IS REACHED
Washington,—A new round oi
conferences between United
States officials and representa
tives of friendly Latin Americar
nations began this week, but i1
appeared unlikely they would
lead to any early rapprochement
with virtually friendless Argen
tina.
Primary purpose of the confer
ences is to determine whether a
formula may be agreed upon for
convocation of a “consultative
meeting of foreign ministers” un
der procedure established by the
Lima conference of American
states in December, 1938.
Argentina Took Initiative
Initiative for such a meeting
j was taken on Oct. 27 by Argen
[ tine Foreign Minister Gen. Or
lando Peluffo, who proposed a
| conference of all 21 republics to
iron out differences on the “Arg
entine question.”
The Argentine request was
circulated among all governments
by the Pan American union, but
the union disclosed tonight that
no replies had been received. It
appeared that the Argentine re
quest had become virtually a
“dead letter.”
BISHOP SAYS PEACE
MUST BE MORAL ONE
Washington,—Catholic bishops
of the United States called this
week for an international peace
organization founded on moral
law and repudiating power poli
tics.
They said in a statement the
security council planned at Dum
barton Oaks “must not be an in
strument for imperialistic dom
ination Ijy a few powerful na
tions.”
“It must not allow any nation
to sit in judgment in its own
case.*’
The Soviet Union has been in
sisting that major powers should
sit and vote with the council, even
opened here about eight years
ago.
The • fire is the second in the
Boone business district in a month.

been damaged several weeks ago.

WAVES Solve Jig-Saw Puzzle to Aid Navy's Fighting Men
•rnciu ». (. UH PHOTOCIAFH
These WAVES are working on a jig-saw puzzle — the most important jig-saw puzzle imaginable. On duty
at the Navy Hydrographic Office, they are helping construct a chart by use of aerial photographs. In its
finished form the chart will guide the Navy’s fighting men is operations in the Pacific zone. In existence
two years, there’s still a need in the WAVES for thousands of patriotic young women — 20 to 36, without
children under 18 — whose starting pay, counting food and quarters, will be $141.50 a month, plus many

Interest In Air Fields May
Cause A Postwar Land Boom
New York,—It's a sign of the
times that real estate operators
are expecting that the airplane
will revolutionize postwar land
values.
They saw how the automobile
and the bus changed farmland in
to suburban home sites; they re
call the role of the railroads in
making industrial centers out of
rural towns. Now they are antici
pating the effects of projected
municipal airports and airparks,
and national chains of utility land
ing fields.
The interest of real estate men
lies not only in commercial avia
tion but in private flying.
Says Lee Thompson Smith,
president of the lawyers title cor
portion of New York and former!
-etoossB teuotvsu atp jo juaptsard
tion of building owners and man
agers: “Approximately 3,000,000
young men in the nation’s air
forces, plus more than 2,000,000
in the aircraft industry, will mean
more enthusiasts for personal
flying after this war than were
familiar with automobile driving
at the end of the last war.”
Questions that might have seem- j
ed fantastic a few years ago are
being asked in seriousness today
in such pratical precincts as the
mortgage departments of banks:
How will private aircraft affect
population shifts? Will air travel
mean new airport business centers
such as have developed around
railroad terminals?
There have been plenty of hints
as to where the airplane may
push the suburbs of the postwar
city. Filene’s department store
in downtown Boston will make
daily deliveries by helicopter from
its roof to Springfield, 90 miles
distant. Arthur W. Hill of the
Atlantic Greyhound corporation
says bus interests are planning
helicopter service between the
downtown districts of 1,000 towns
and cities.
if themselves accused of aggres
sion. This would permit a major
power to vote international col
lective action against itself since
it is proposed that no action be
taken with out a unanimous de
cision by the major powers.
Without mentioning any nation
by name, the bishops gave this ex
pression on their views on mem
bership in the international or
ganization.
