Street Thursday
No Yt'orit Heard From Wal
ter Barr, Missing Past
Two Weeks
-•—
The 1941 green Plymouth be
longing to Walter E. Barr, Wil
liamston man who has been miss
ing for two weeks, wars found
parked in the 600 block of Maltby
Avenue, Norfolk,, last Thursday,
but no word has been heard from
Barr who was last seen with Mrs.
Mamie Smithwick when they left
their Norfolk boarding house the
evening of October 3 to attend
an open-air theater in the Vir
ginia city. The discovery of the
car and the findings therein have
led Norfolk police to believe that
Barr met with foul play.
Mrs. Smithwick's body was
found floating in Lake Smith on
October 13. Chips of human teeth,
found in the blood spattered and
bullet-pierced automobile of
Ban’s, could have been from
the mouth of Mrs. Smithwick, a
pathologist was quoted as saying.
Believing Barr had been mur
dered, Norfolk police. Princess
Anne County officers, State po
lice and the Coast Guard dragged
the bottom of the lake but did
not find his body.
Barr’s automobile, a 1941 green
Plymouth sedan, is now’ at the
Norfolk City Garage.
Investigations have disclosed
that the rear seat and the light
front scat bore bloodstains. There
was also a bullet hole in the roof
over the rear seat. Police say it
had been made from the inside.
Whether or not the teeth chips
also found in the back scat are
those of Mrs. Smithwick is not
definitely known.
Dr. A. F. Strauss, of the De
Paul Hospital, who made the au
topsy, said, “They could be, but
don’t have to be.”
He disclosed that several of the
woman’s teeth were missing,
where her jaw had been beaten
and broken.
The bullet hole in the car is al
so a mystery.
Dr. Strauss said that no vital
organs in the woman’s body had
been pierced by a shot. He did say
however, that the decomposed
condition of the woman’s body
would have made it possible for
a bullet w’ound to have been over
looked in some sections of the
body.
Norfolk City Police report that
Patrolman C. E. Carlson has made
a fingerprint examination of the
car, but would not disclose what,
il anything, the examination re
vealed.
Previously, aerial photographs
had been taken by investigators
in an effort to locate the automo
bile in the densely wooded area
around the lake, and conferences
were held with several members

State Officials Expected
Here Today For Hunt
Enjoying several hunts in this
area during the past two or three
years, Gcvernoi Kerr Scott is ex
pected here late this afternoon
for another hunt. He is being ac
companied by Dr. Henry Jordan,
chairman of the North Carolina
State Highway and Public Works
Commission, and they’ll be the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Abbitt
on Grace Street. Their hunting
grounds have not been announc
ed, but they plan to start early to
morrow and limit their hunt to
squirrels.
The Governor was expected
here early yesterday, but his Win
ston-Salem trip delayed him. He
was further delayed in Raleigh
and postponed the trip until late
today.
UNUSUAL
For the first time in a num
ber of years. Fire Prevention
Week was observed here
without a fire. Maybe, all the
fire prevention appeals paid
off this year.
During the prevention week
last year, Williamston's fire
department received two calls
to fire the first day of the
observance. As far back as
most of the volunteer fire
men here can remember at
least one call could always be
depended upon during fire
prevention week. One hun
dred percent observance all
the year around is the goal.

Eisenhower Question Still
Hus Them Guessing In
Politieul World
— ♦ —
Washington.—Though the Sen
ate tried to give the Air Force five
extra billions of dollars to speed
expansion of the air service, the
Defense Department and the pow
ers that be prevailed, and Con
gress was told the money could
not be spent this fiscal year. Thus
the Senate voted only about an
extra one billion dollars for the
Air Force.
The Administration reaction to
the sudden Increase voted in air
power funds was that the Defense
Department’s original requests
Were about all the services could
take care of in a year. In the case
of the Air Force, it was argued,
the planes and equipment just
could not be obtained any faster,
whether or not more money was
voted. The Air Forre did not deny
the Administration argument, and
therefore, the Senate effort to in
crease the size of the air service
faster than the government plans
failed to a large extent.
One naturally wonders if this is
the same old story again, when
the Administration refuses to
change its armament program de
spite an obvious disagreement
with Congress. The Air Force

Declare Sympathy
For Dry Raleigh
-—«—
Giving way under the heavy
traffic, a water line cracked on
the main street here yesterday af
ternoon and for hours water flow
ed over the streets in several di
rections from the Washington
Street intersection. Tens of thous
ands of gallons of clear water
were lost before the entire water
system was shut off and workmen
repaired the line at midnight.
People, passing by the flooding
waters would pause long enough
to say, “It’s too had some of the
water could not be piped into dry
Raleigh.”
A large pipe carrying water to
a flush tank was cracked when a
manhole cover was pushed down
on it by heavy traffic on the
street.
If the Governor and Commis
sioner Jordan want to make their
hunting mission count, they'll
find it advisable not to delay
longer Local residents, forget
ting the Governor was in the For
syth capital, thought he was be
ing given a 100-gun salute at day
break. It later turned out that
the boys were after the squirrels.
Mixed reports were received
yesterday from the hunting'
grounds. “The woods are full of
squirrels," several hunters declar
ed, returning shortly after 8:00
o’clock with the daily bag limit.
Others, missing the squirrels, de
clared they were few in number.
Several organized deer hunts
were launched early yesterday,
and they were said to have been

four motor vehicle accidents on
county highways and streets dur

accidents involved no personal in
juries and property losses were
less than $15 in each case, officers
explaining that no official reports
were made. The two minor
wrecks in the series took place on
Williamston's Streets. In one of
the two, the driver said he was
not looking what he was doing
and plowed into the rear of a
Now Jersey car on the main
street. The two drivers agreed,
and both went about their busi
ness. In the other accident, the
brakes on a car were no good and
the machine struck another, caus
ing about $6 damage. James Ar
thur Howard was carried into
court and the fine and cost
amounted to $30 85.

nation, but they were released
following treatment. Mrs. Craw
ford suffered a cut on her arm
and was bruised a bit. All of the
victims declared they were fortu

with no more injuries than they
received.
A power company pick-up
truck, driven by C. A. Glass and
headed east on the highway, was
stopped to make a left turn into
Park Avenue, the old fair ground

waiting for the approaching traf

Jackson on a three-day pass,
plowed into the rear of the pick

Tot automobiles were seen

saw the cars there, that it was
thought one of the machines had
broken down and that someone
was working on the motor. Ap
parently the scene was arranged
to make it appear there was car
trouble and to take attention
away from the robbery.
The robbers prized iron bars
apart and entered a rear window,
and completely ransacked the
store. The robbery took on the
appearance of an amateur job
when the safe was found with
the combination and iiinges

Willintmton
-<t>
According to unofficial infor
mation reaching hero yesterday,
mail service between Norfolk and
Raleigh will be handled by mo
torized highway post offices be
ginning November 1.
Few details could be learned
immediately, but plans for the
service have been pending for
possibly as long as two years. De
signed to take over the service
handled by Norfolk Southern
trains between Norfolk and Rai
etgh, the highway post offices
are to make Williamston their
terminal or connecting point.
The exact route and schedule
have not been released, but one
report said that the bus operating
out of Norfolk would leave the
V'irginia city at 5:30 o’clock each
morning except Sunday and re
turn there that evening at 7:00
o'clock. The bus operating out of
Raleigh and serving the western
division will leave the North Car
olina capital at 5:00 o’clock each
morning except Sunday and re
turn there at 5:55 o’clock in the
evening.
The new system, according to
15. S. Davis, superintendent of
Postal Transportation District 15,
will offer better service at a low
er cost to the government.
In addition to the two large
busses handling first class mail
service, the new transportation
plan includes the operation of
large trucks behind the highway
post offices for the handling of
parcel post, it is understood.
According to information reach
ing here, the new mail transporta
lion method will serve Elizabeth
City, Edenton, Plymouth, Wash

Raleigh and other local points
with Williamston as a connecting
point or terminal.
Williamston post office author
ities explain that the proposed
system will relieve a bottle neck
for mail destined from Raleigh
to Williamston and from Williams
ton to Raleigh, and enhance the
service all the way around.
While no schedule has yet been
announced, it is believed that the
mails from Raleigh and Norfolk
will reach here before noon with

Crowds Allcnd
Jamcsville's third annual com
munity fair last week possibly
was the climax in the series, re
ports declaring that the event at
tracted more and bettor exhibits
and was attended by larger
crowds than either of the other
two. While the entertainment
program was stressed more this
year than last, the other depart
ments still maintained a rapid
pace to make the fair a real agri*
cultural event. As far as quality
is concerned, nothing finer can be
seen at the State fair in Raleigh
this week.
The fair was opened officially
with a parade at 12:30 Friday, and
State Representative Wayland
Spruill of Bertie made the formal
address on an open-air stand But
“Cousin Wayland" got his animals
mixed up when he said that as he
approached Jamesville he heard
the frogs croaking out a warm
welcome to Martin County. It
was a prize milch cow that bel
lowed the welcome and did so re

Corey, introducing the speaker,
outlined the purpose of the fair
and list 'd it as one of the projects
sponsored by the Jamesville Run

who in any way helped make the

Williamston’s tobacco market,
traveling in high gear for several
weeks, was today pushing on to*
ward the eleven million-pound
mark with prices holding firm.
Farmers arc marketing their crop
just as rapidly as they can grdde
and move it. Possibly another
million pounds are left on the
farms in this area, making it fair
ly certain that the market will
sell between eleven and one-half
and twelve million pounds. It is

825,908,43. The price average for
the season through yesterday is
$54.31.
Sales today are comparatively
light hut the prices continue to

A review of all the markets in
the belt by the departments of
agriculture follows:
Prices by grades last week for
Eastern North Carolina flue-cur
ed tobacco held generally steady
to slightly stronger as compared
with the high averages set the
previous week. Qencral quality
of the offerings continued to im
prove. Volume of sales was the
heaviest of the season on Monday
but some lighter the rest of the
week.
The Federal-State Market News
Service reports that as a result of
the better prices and quality a
new record weekly general aver
age of $61.35 per hundred wat
paid for gross sales of 51,340,411
pounds. This average was 92
cents over the previous high es
tablished the week before.
Increases of $1.00 to $3.00 per
hundred were noted principally
for medium quality leaf, lugs and
lower smoking leaf, primings and
nondescript. Most of the gains
were $1.00 and $2.00. Better offer
ings held about firm. There were
a few scattered losses of $1.00 and
$2.00 which were more than off
set by gains.
Season gross sales through Oc
tober 12 amounted to 383,878,729

more than 7 million pounds over

this estimate and after allowing
for resales the crop to date is
nearly 75 percent marketed. Total
