Christian General
Demands Kai-shek
To Quit His Post
—•—
Former Chief Aide Suys the
GeneraliNKinio h
Doomed
The following is an open letter
from Gen. Feng Yu-hsiang to Chi
ang Kai-shek. Feng, who won
fame as the “Christian General”,
was vice-generalissimo to Chiang
during the war and has broken
with Chiang over the continuation
of the civil war and the failure of
Chiang to form a coalition gov
ernment including the Commun
ists and smaller democratic par
ties, as well as liberal elements of
the Kuomintang. He was expell
ed from the Kuomintang several
weeks ago for attacking Chiang
wno had seiiVTiim To* 'foe XT'S" W
to study water power projects.
Feng’s open letter to Chiang came
unsolicited to a New York news
paper a few days ago. It was of
fered for the light it might shed
on the top-level political troubles
facing Chiang.
“In September, 194(i, before
leaving Shanghai for the United
States, I urged you in a letter to
stop the civil war and form a de
mocratic coalition government for
the sake of the Chinese people.
Your only reply was to continue
the civil war and your own dicta
torship. In May, 1947, because you
were arresting and killing stud
ents and professors, suspending
independent newspapers, and de
priving the people of all civil lib
erties, I issued a statement in San
Francisco. In it I denounced your
dictatorial behavior and again
called for peace and democracy in
China.
"In August, 1947, I received a
threatening letter from one of
your secret service men in the
United States, warning me sharp
ly that if I spoke against you
again my life would be in danger.
I threw it into the waste basket
and since then have been speak
ing more bluntly and loudly
against your policies. Your per
sonal order to recall me as veil as
your personal decision to expel
me from your Kuomintang were
no surprise. . . .
"A Revolutionary Committee of
the Kuomintang was set up in
Hongkong on Jan. 1, 1948, under
the chairmanship of the veteran
Kuomintang leader, Gen. Li Chi
shen. I am honored to have been
elected to the Central Board of the
Revolutionary Committee and
pledge to fight for the overthrow
of your reactionary regime anrl
the realization of peace and demo
cracy in China.
“On Jan. 14, 1948, I declared
that my relationship with your
government had been totally sev
ered. From now’ on I am fight
ing against you to the end.

you resigned because your staff

Electrician tests
Fire Siren Today
—«,—
Burned out when it froze sever
al weeks ago, the town’s fire
alarm system is being tested to
day by electricians. Since the
motor was repaired almost a
month ago, the sound volume
holds to about half of what it
should be. A short time ago there
was a night alarm and only four
firemen heard the siren.
■rn fii'icians were .sun
checking the system at noon to
day, one report stating that in
stead ' f turning 3,600 revolutions
per n„iutPihe motor was turn
ing up hardly half that number.
Several tests were made this
morning, the alarm attracting
quite a few before they learned
there was no fire.
Whit E. Saunders
Offered Chief of
Police Job Here
-o
Appointee Reported To
Have Resigned from Pa
trol Wednesday
Whitney E. Saunders, popular
member of the State Highway Pa
trol for a number of years, was of
fered by a unanimous vote of the
town board of commissioners the
position of chief of Williamston's
police at a meeting of the town's
governing body last Tuesday
night. The appointment was
made following the j-eceipt of
Chief W. T. Simpson's resignation
which becomes effective the 20th
of this month.
The new appointee today had
not formally accepted the position,
but it was learned that he had
tendered his resignation to offic
ers of the highway patrol, and it
is expected that he will accept and
enter upon his new duties on or
about April 1.
Quite a few applications, writ
ten and verbal, for the position
were received, several of them
having been, submitted with the
understanding that they be with
drawn if Mr. Saunders applied.
Among the applications with
drawn were those of Chas. R.
Mobley, former chief, and J. D.
Harrison. Other applications re
ceived included those submitted
by L. H. Nelson of Rocky Mount,
John Roebuck and Paul Ballard.
Several others verbally asked that
their applications be considered.
One or two of the applicants ex
plained tlii.t they were not neces
sarily interested in the position of
chief of police but were candi
dates for places on the force, if
and when there are vacancies.
Mr. Saunders, born and reared
on a Hertford County farm, came
to Willtamston as a member of the
State Highway Patrol nine years
ago, and during his stay here he
has gained the respect of the pub
lic as a citizen and law enforce
ment officer. And he likes it here,
too, the young man explaining a
short time ago when he was order
ed transferred to Washington
that he preferred to remain here.
Following the turn of events, local
officials insisted that he consider
the opening here.
Chief Simpson is leaving the lat
ter part of this month to continue
his service in the armed forces
where he will be eligible for re
tirement in about Seven years. He
is to report to the Marine Corps.
As a parting testimonial for the
retiring chief, the following letter

THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Mishaps on the highways of
this county during the first
nine weeks of this year gave
those of the corresponding
period in 1947 a close race,
showing actual gains in two
columns but trailing slightly
in two others. There have
been more accidents this year
' than last and the property
loss is just a little greater
than it was a year ago. More
consideration, however, is be
ing shown life and limb this
year than last.
The following tabulations
offer a comparison of the ac
cidcnt trend: first5i hy.pqf res

For Water Plant Improvements

Plan Construction of Cargo
Elevated Storage Tank
For Water System
Meeting in regular session last
Tuesday night, the local town
board of commissioners proposed
a $100,000 bond issue for financing
a water works improvement pro
gram, and called for bids on the
construction of a 300,000 gallon
elevated water storage tank. A
bond ordinance was proposed on a
motion made by Commissioner
John Hatton ■Gurganus seconded
by Commissioner K. D. Worrell,
the motion receiving unanimous
support, but the actual vote is be
ing delayed.
Rated us an emergency, the pro
gram does not necessarily call for
a bond election, but the matter
will be placed before the public in
detail before further action is tak
en, it was explained. The town's
bonded debt will be reviewed and
the effect such an issue will have
on the advalorem tax rate will be
discussed.
Convinced that the town’s wat
er system is operating on a shoe
string literally speaking, officials
discussed the condition with the
Local Government Commission in
Raleigh and the issue was advised.
While no vote on the bond issue
is necessary, the board will place
the matter before the public for
consideration. If valid opposition
is offered, the commissioners will
provide for an election. Working
for the best interests of the town
and anxious for the people to
know all the facts, the commis
sioners appointed a committee to
. prepare and submitjngui cs cover
ing every angle of the town's
taxe rate.
To save time the town is calling
for bids on a new water storage
tank, realizing that delivery can
not be expected within 400 days
from the receipt of the order, and
that the older can be cancelled if
the proposed program does not
meet with general public approv
al.
No further official action on the
program is scheduled before the
regular meeting in April.
Assured that the public water
supply here will be increased
within the next sixty days or be
fore peak consumption develops,
the commissioners at their meet
ing this week voted to offer water
service to customers outside the
town limits. However, it was rul
ed that the town will lay no more
water mains outside the town for
the present, that connections will
be limited to those cases already
on the main lines. In other cases,
the applicants for the service will
be responsible for the cost of the
pipe in addition to the regular
connection charge. "We don’t
think it hardly fair for the town
taxpayers to finance the cost of
laying water mains outside of
town, that it is only fair for out
side users to accept such costs,"
one of the commissioners com
mented. It was suggested that
water rates to customers outside
the town be increased to permit
those customers to share in the
added costs for maintaining the
system. For instance, the town
taxpayers are now paying advid
orem taxes for the water system
itself and they are being called on

Three-room House
For \ nib roses Is
Nearly (.ompleled
Volunteer Workers Delay
ed Several Days Ity the
Bad Weather
Delayed several days by bad
weather. Contractor James Tom
Stephenson and nine other volun
teer workers are making splendid
progress on the contsruction of
a three-room house for the desti
tute family of Ammie Ambrose,
aged grandmother, on the old Kv
eretts road near Williamston.
All tlie main timbers for the
structure were standing by noon
yesterday and a goodly portion of
the weather boarding was placed
before the end of the day, but the
builders explained that possibly
it would take them until late to
morrow or Saturday to complete
the job. Very few of the volun
teer workers are finished carpen
ters, but with a little encourage
ment from Contractor Stephenson
and with willing minds they are
doing a very good job.
Following the lead of the con
tractor, Henry Armstrong, Sam
uel Norfleet, Robert Wiggins, Jas.
1’. Finch, Rev. G. T. Hill, Wiley
W. Lanier, Willie Reid, Frank
Slade and Rev. John Chance re
ported for work yesterday, giv
ing a good account of themselves.
The aged grandmother, who
with the help of other members
of the family had saved $300 to
repair their home and who had it
stolen from her by Neal Coburn
lust November, was very happy
\ and possibly even more excited
! yesterday when she saw the new
house taking form. Having each
cd the very b-. ttom of the eco
inomte Tadm-mV *age3 “woman
said that she had worked down to
' just about the last straw, but that
I she continued to pray right on
through the big snow. “My pray
j ers have been answered," she
! said, the tears trickling down her
cheeks expressing her happiness.
A complete inventory of tin
family's earthly possession can
hardly be made until the fallen
timbers in the dilapidated shuck
can lie torn away. It is fairly cor
tain that the cash fund will hi
more than sufficient to pay foi
the building materials, leaving
I some for the purchase of a few
furnishings.
Asked if she wanted electric
lights, the grandmother said h
would be mighty fine, but she
considered it hardly advisable ti
install them because the monthly
I bills would be more than the
I family could pay. Ayers Elec
I trie Company has promised to in
I stall the lights without charge
I and maybe there'll be enough lell
| in the cash fund to pay the lighl
bill a year or more in advance.
Rev. G. T. Hill has volunteerec
to help paint the house, but thal
i job c an’t be handled until the
j timbers dry a bit.
| Before word got around that nc
I additional cash was needed, late
^contributions care in, swelling the
j total to $633.68. Donations re
ceived since the- last report in
