President Eisenhower asked her to remain, but she left March 4. 1953?"just 20 years to the day" after arriving. She's back with the Democratic National Committee now, but here in Washington, ? I loved E, D. R. and the White House," the tall, auburn-haired Kentiickian told nje. "That's why 1 stayed on as long as 1 did." Each of us saw him diffeently. My book, however, is written strict'v about Louis, his loyalty and tenacity in building F. D. R. up for the presidency. He did more than anv other one man to make J!. D. R. president?and yet tie's the least known figure of the RoosoSfjMI era." Mhs Stiles says her book con sists that there Is "nothing world nntl t hat there is "nothing world shaking" about It. I 4?"

Mi Stiles, daughter of the Northern Accident RICHMOND. Va. <AP> ? The facts, ma'am, are that the men were from Brooklyn. Detective Chief John Wright hopes this takes Rich mond off the hook.

Subsequently, Mrs. Mann wrote the local chamber of com merce to note that the robbery seemed a poor advertisement for southern hospitality. The detective bureau had news from Mrs. Mann. Her property had been recovered in Washington and was hers for the identification. Two men were arrested. Brooklyn boys Ma'am. Highway Accident NUTLEY. N. J. (Apt ? Peter Scarpelli built a two-family house here 10 years ago in an area that has since become restricted to sin gle-family qnits. But he wasn't af fected until the Garden State Parkway came along and forced Scarpelli to move his hourse about 300 yards. Now the town says his house can no longer claim exemp tion from the one-family rule. Scarpelli hopes the courts will ! see it differently. Since 1888 more than 20 million people have gone to the top of the Washington monument. Postmaster at Cecilia, Ky., 45 miles from Louisville, worked at Frank fort, the state capital, then got tied in with the newspaper busi ness. She went to New York where she wrote a column, "A Girl's Eye View of New York," for Louisville, Denver and Cincinnati papers. "It was a country girl's impres sion of the big town," she told me. "I figured there was no future in politics, but finally I had to quit and work for the government. I like to work in an office."

Court Orders Real Name I EBEVSBURG. Pa (AP)? Miss Veronica Oravec had to get a court order to get rid of her nickname. Her family called her Verna when she was small.

A Carolina Power To Boost Service In Asheville Area Carolina Power & Light Com pany this week commenced the fin-1 al operation in a three-phase pro gram to increase the capacity and reliability of electric service to the Asheville area, according to Julian Stepp, district manager for CP&L.1 The company began converting the Canton-Elk Mountain transmi--1 slon line from 66.000 to 110.000 volts. The work is being done b> R. H. Boulign.v Construction Com pany of Charlotte. The moving of the Enku sub-sta tion tu Candler, first step in the program, has just been completed. The second step?construction of a completely new sub-station near the Elk Mountain steam plant ? has begun and is well underway, according to Stent). When complet ed, this sub-station will become ; one of the major switching points in the Asheville Division of CP&L. Completion of the three pro^ jects will give Asheville and sur rounding area a complete 110.000 volt loop, either side of which will be capable of carrying all the elec tricity the area requires. It will be operated in such a manner. Stepp said, that trouble on any sec tion of the line can be isolated and remedied without interrupting elec tric service. The moving of the Enka sub-sta tion to Candler was complicated by the fact that the same trans formers were used at the new site and tre sub-station had to be kept in operation while the move was made. J. W. Blankenship supervis ed the construction work, which was contracted out. CP&L crews headed by B L. Atkinson and G. J M. Wotten moved the transformers. Cost of the three-phase expan sion project. Stepp estimated, will exceed $300,000. "It will greatly improve our service in the Asheville, the Cand ler and the Enka areas," he added. I | Planton, the minute plants and animals which multiply on the sur face of the sea. is being used as human food in the Far East. WITNESS 'STANDS BY' AS lEECH GETS GOOD NtaS MRS.
