By HENRY .V URILL Raleigh. Oct. 21. — Automobiles killt-d 'em on the country roads, in the smallest and largest corporations, but not a single fatal accident oc curred in t North Carolina city of from 10,000 to 50.000 during the month of September, according to records of the Highway Safety Di vision. That gave a completely clean slate. SO tilt* cW l<» tal accidents go. to these Tar Hee! towns—Concord. Elizabeth City. Fayctteville, Gastonia. Golds boro. Kunnapolis (unincorporated but big just xhe same), Kinston. New Bern. Rocky Mount, Roanoke Rapids, Salisbury. Shelby. Statesvillc.

Asheville and Durham, of the 5H. 000 and up group, likewise had no fatal wrecks. At tho extremes, there was one fat;i| accident in an incorporated town of less than 500, another in a town of thf 1.000-5.000 bracket and thrff in ("ties of 5.000-10,000; while amoiu: the i-'g cities. Greensboro and Winston-Salem l ad one each and Charlotte topped everything with no less than five. Altogether there were fatal ac cident in the State. 75 of them or. rural roads. | The Safety Division also issued figures on non-fatal and property damage accidents for September, but ! in comment on them it was stressed \ Important Changes Made In Previsions Of AAA Program Collgcc St;:ti«>n. Raleigh. Oct. 21. —E. Y. Floyd. AAA executive officer of N. C. State College. today an nounced an important improvement i in the Agricultural Conservation Program, effective in 19 J i and fecting every farmer in North Car ' oiina. "General sr>il-drpletins allotments ■vill be discontinued with the 1941 nrogram and payments will he based upon the amount of soil-building ac complished," Floyd stated. "This will , out more emphasis on the conserva tion phases of the program, make 't [ more adaptable to all farms in the -tate. encourage production of food and feed crop*. and shoold Greatly i cd ico the cost of compliance." Fi-vrl I 'rther explained that the "V'-moc who earn* all of his so;l buildine units will recivo h;< ^"'"i inuro navivents for nl'ntinfT w'thm vT'/'tirirnts. suc'i as tobacco, •.otton, peanuts, and commercial vc0 ' r.-'Ijlc -. wi!ont and potatoes iii desig nated counties: the farmer who fails a> cany out lal t,! his <-i!-btiilding practices will reccive . proportionate reduction in his special c'.llotment oayrr.ents. •'For instance." he said, "a farmer had set up for his farm a total payment of S!00. ni"do up of $50 for planting witi'in special crop allot ments and $50 to be earned for car rying out soil-building practices, such its seeding legumes, grasses, winter cover and green manure crops: tev'cing. contour strip-crop ping. forest tree planting, home gar dening. application of liming mate ria N. ;in:l the like. •'It' he carried out only enough i ractices to earn $40. then he would nnlv get $40 of his special allotment •vyments. ni\ int- him a total farm payment <>: £80 instead of $100. That's henvse he earned only 30 percent ::;il-blii!din^; soal.' that they are at best little more than approximations because of the great laxity all over the state in observ ing the law requiring reports of all accidents on the prescribed forms. This laxity prevails to a greater extent in the rural sections than in the cities, which probably accounts for the fact that fatal accidents, wi,:tii be tracked down through news stories and Health Board sta t.sties, were much more common, ac cording to thr available figures, on rural roads than in cities, while non fatal and property-damage crashes were much more numerous in the in corporated places. Thus, if the reports were taken for accurate, the country led the city 75 to 12 in fatal accident's: while it trailed the urban areas 129 to 152 in non-fatal crashes involving in juries: 116 to 3119 in property-dam age only wrecks: and 321 to 472 in accidents of all kinds. As said, however, the figures are not to be given ton much reliance except in the ca: <: '-f fatalities. Charlotte's live fatal crashes put Mecklenburg county out in front for the month with eight death-dealing :wc !l"nis Wholly nn.'l Kohfv.on and Guilford (with it" one urban death crash) were next in line with fivr eaen. Pender. a country county of the first water, had four. Buncombe. Columbus, Cumber land. Iredell and Wake had three apiece. 'I here were two fatal wrecks in «-aeh <:i Alamnnve.

Budapest. Hungary, Oct. '?l —(ATj —Reports that Soviet Htissian-Turk ish military discussions 'n-i in stituted and that Turkish military preparation was increasing along the strategic Dardanelles gateway to the Near East were heard today in the Balkans. I At the same time, Rumania in- . augurated a blackout for Bucharest ' and the nearby oil fields. Travelers Irom Turkey said in J Athens that railroad lines tj Adria nople, a Turkish city in territory wedged between the Bulgarian and Greek borders, were jammed with i troop trains while half a million Turkish troops were said to be al- I ready in the region of the Darda nelles. A rumor that Soviet-Turkish mili tary talks were underway in Adria nople was carried by a Budapest newspaper while other unconfirmed reports said the Turks were building new fortifications and communica tions. The Turkish press, predicting that the axis would attempt its next push in the Near East, played up British maneuvers to counter such a drive. Speculation Is Rife On Size Of Vote Daily bispatcli Bureau. In the Sir Hotel. BY IIRNRV AVERILL. Raleigh. Oct. 21. — Now that cill the political prognosticalors have reached the conclusion that Wendell Willkie hasn't even a remote outside chance in North Carolina, specula tion on the size of the vote which will be cast on the first Tuesday in Novembi r is beginning to bob up on all sides. Most of the would-be crystal gaz ers a'c apparently leaning on the same limb which broke oi l' so sharp ly under them in the gubernatorial primary last May. They are already beginning to declare with great ap pearance of certainty that the total in tiiis good year will be far less than the more than 800.000 easl for FDR and A If Landon four years ago. These predictions are bnsrd on the difficulty of absentee b='11o(ing this fall, tiie lack of local contests and the apparent indifference of the elec torate. Every single one of these factors existed last spring—in fact '.here was the impossibility, but not the dif ficulty, of voting in absentia. There (Continued on Page Three.)
