SAYS YADKIN RIVER
IS NOT NAVIGABLE
Greensboro, May 17—The Yad
kin River is not navigable at any
point in North Carolina and nev
er has been, declared T. S. John
son. Raleigh, chief engineer of
the state department of conserva
tion and development, today in
Guilford superior court as a wit
ness for the Duke Power Com
pany which, with the aid of 45
High Point corporations and cit
izens, is trying to bar the city
from building A $6,492,000 power
plant at the Styer's dam site on
the Yadkin.
Engineer Johnson went further
to declare that the effect of the
proposed dam would have but lit
tle effect on the flow of the river
in it slower reaches, as the Pee
Dee. in South Carolina. However,
to the delight of High Point
counsel, he added that any effect
the dam might have on naviga
tion in the lower reaches would
be beneficial since the dam would
naturally store waters in periods
of high flow and release it in low
flow periods, thus equalizing it to
some extent.
His testimony as to the impos
sibility of actual navigation bore
out that given for the Duke com
pany yesterday and this morning
by C. P. Roberts, engineer of
Marion, s. C.

NUDIST CAMP
SAID TABOO
State Official Holds Mocks
ville Camp Is Unlawful in
Reply to Query
IS CRIMINAL VIOLATION
Raleigh, May 19—The attorney
general's office today was asked
again whether a nudist camp is
; lawful in North Carolina, and of
ficials said the answer would be
the same as that given earlier
this week—no.
A letter dated from Mocksville.
Davie county, and signed by J. R.
Frost, director of the Piedmont
Health club, explained that some
of the club members "desire to
take sunbaths and swimming in
the nude; and also in the pres
ence of the opposite sex, just as
is now being practiced in many
other states."
"We have recently opened a
health and recreation club," the
letter said, "and desire to give
our members the opportunity of
sunbathing in order to get the
benefit of the healthful and heal
ing ultra-violet rays of the sun ...
"Only persons of good moral
character are admitted to our
club. And we have a strict rule
that nothing of an immoral na
ture will be permitted . .
Frost wrote that the organiza
tion wanted to be sure it came
within North Carolina law and
had been told it had the right to
cperate under the federal consti
tution and the bill of rights.
Officials said Frost would be
sent a copy of a letter mailed
Wednesday to Rufus B. Sanford,
Jr., Davie county attorney, who
requested a ruling on the ques
tion. Attorney General Harry
McMullan held then that "a
nudist camp in North Carolina is
unlawful and a violation of the
criminal law, making the persons
responsible for it guilty of a mis
demeanor."
