July 26. As finally enacted into law, the Naval Appropriation ' Bill carried no pro vision for the construction of air plane carriers, t The Senate had in serted an., amndment making appro priations for two such 1 vessels, but the item was stricken out in the con frence between the two Houses. Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash ington, who had charge of the naval bill in the Senate, has announced that he will soon introduce a separate measure providing for the airplane carriers. He has been led to believe from the disposition manifested ' by the House conferees that an agree ment can be reached to build at least one such ship. . There has been some criticism of the Navy that ..sufficient attention was not being given to the devlopmeht of - its air ' service. Mr. Poindexter' is. convinced that our na val "defense will . be-, far- inferior to that of other nations unless the air plane feature is given a prominent part therein, a policy that requires special vessels upon which the planes can land. - ' V"."";.1 ' -! i-: Want Allies T Pay' Bonn - .

Respess died at his home In ;' Beaufort at about six o'clock Friday ' V morning after an illness? that had " lasted for several weeks. The death of Judge Respess while a shock to his frinds was not altogether unexpected For somejmonths it has been known.." that he had a srious form of heart' - trouble and other complications and- that while he might live for several. . months or even,, longer the chances' :"V were' that he would not do so." : ' Judge" Rcpess was elected Clerk" of the Superior court here in 1918' in a very close contest where the'J . county offices were about equally di vided between Republicans and Deni'-V, ocrats. His success was due to his(. popularity with the voters ol the1,; county which was sufficient to oVer-;t' come a strong opposition that 'de-: sated several other Republican can-,-' didates. . If he had lived until next. ' year Judge Respess would probably rr have been a candidate for reelection ' t and his friends think he would have won undoubtedly.. Under the law . -which makes Clerks of the Superior; Court Juvenile Judge he held that office and always displayed a sincere ,'4 desire to do that which was fair and ' honest and for the best interests of r th child. Judge Respess was born in Beau-' . fort county and was sixty four years (.' ' of age. He was the son of the" late ; John B. Respss of that county, who was a prominent Rpublican politician and regarded as one of th best de- r haters on th stump of eastern North" . Carolina. ' Judge Respess himself was alwsys dewply Interested in polU ; -tics and took an active part la the : campaign in th county last year. .' " He was not a bitter partisan though and his likable qualities mad him , many friends among those who wer . kind hearted, affable sort of a man not of his political faith. He was a who lovd to Joke others snd knew , how to take a Joke himself.. People ; who went to the courthouse liked to1 drop la his office for a chat and his friendly presence will b missed there' for a long time. .
