W CARTERET COUNTY NEW5-TfwfS ~!^ UA YEAR, NO. 1. TWO SECTIONS TEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1952 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS World Federalist Makes Annual Report Robert Humber Thursday afternoon in Beaufort'? American Legion hut 39 adherents of the United World Federalists gathered to hear a progress report by the organization's founder, Robert Humber of Greenville. Humber, world traveler and Ox ford alumnus, rose in the semi circle about the glowing fireplace and remarked that the chief ob stacle in the way of the group's goal? a world organization power ful enough to prevent war ? is the propaganda being sent out from the Washington office of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars. "I talked to the head of the VFW," said the leader, "in his Washington office and asked him point blank why the organisation was undermining what we have taken 11 years to build. "He told me that such talk as ours about forming a world gov ernment threatened to divert the concentrated effort of the Ameri- i can public to rearm. "It meant to this former ad miral," Humbcr continued, "that thii country may not produce its total capacity of arms, because it may >ee our movement as another ' way out. " 'Nothing.' said the man, 'must sttfnd in the way of our rearma ment, not even talk of peace.' " "1 told this person," number went on, "that the United World Federalists were not against rearm anient. But we did not see how a huge army, navy, and air force could keep this nation out of war. "Something else is needed, I told him, and the World Federal ists see the only answer in a world government capable of making laws outlawing war and strong enough to enforce those laws." Humbcr reminded his listeners that the need for such a world gov- , eminent grew more necessary every day. "At the close of the last war 1 talked to General Hap' Arnold, then head of the Army Air Forcc about the effects of concentrated bombing on cities ? what the Army referred to as strategic bombing. "Arnold told me that warfare was becoming so destructive that America had won its last war. In the future, Arnold said there will be only survivors ? no victors." "Interestingly enough," Humber pointed out, "the VFW opposition which we are encouraging comes not from any state, county, or local group, but from the VFW's head quarters in Washington, D. C. "From that office goes a flood of letters to every state in the union, to every congressman, senator, and other person of high rank, asking them not to support our peace plan.

Wilmington Crew Fixes Tide Water Voltage Regulator Nothing simple over happens here, it's always something that never happens anywhere else," de clared J. W. I*. Hodges, chief trou ble shooter for Tide Water Power j co.. who arrived in M ore head City j Saturday morning with three re I pair men to look for the trouble that . has been causing electrical equip ment to cut off at nightfall. The first time there was evidence I of trouble was Thursday night, i Lights went dim but gradually grew | bright again. Then Friday night j i he same thing happened. Electri cally controlled furnaces went off | and other power-operated nieces of machinery sort of half died. ; Meanwhile Tide Water crewmen J v\jre looking for the trouble but re stymied becatise the it ?ubl?? righted its. -If in a short time, (ieorge Stovall, Tide Water man ager, explained. The Wilmington men discovered that the difficulty lay in the auto matic voltage regulator, a "gadget" valued at about $10.000 which au tomatically raises and lowers the voltage to approximate the use load. one of the contacts was burned off and Hodges said he didn't know why or how it burned off but that is What caused reduction in voltage at nightfall when persons turned on lights or started their electric ranges to cook supper. Repairing the voltage regulator required a return to Wilmington where another regulator had to be dismantled to obtain the necessary parts. Spare parts arc never car ried around with repairmen on ma jor jobs because it is never known exactly what is wrong and "spare parts" to expensive pieces of equip ment ar, .t usually kept lying arour .jse. Until the voltage regulator was repaired an engine was started in the plant to keep voltage to the level necessary.

Former Visitor to Beaufort Receives Award in Aviation Telephone Co. v Asks Commission For Rate Increase Carolina, Serving Carteret County, Wants $900,000 More in Yearly Revenue Carolina Telephone and Tele graph company, which serves 113 eastern North Carolina communi ties. including those in Carteret county, has requested th<* State Utilities commission for an in crease in rates. The phone company has inform ed the commission it wants $900, OOO more a year "after taxes and additional expenses." To meet that figure, the commission would have to raise monthly bills of Carolina's 98,000 customers by approximate ly $1,500,000 a year. Southern Bell, another phone company operating in the state, also recently asked the utilities commission for a boost which would bring in $1,780,000 annually. Both companies claim they must have extra revenue to maintain their rate of return, and profits in the face of rising operating costs and mounting taxes. Both have left it to the commis- i sion to determine how much indi vidual subscribers' rates would have to be boosted to provide the additional revenue. The combined effect of the com panies' demands would push the cost of telephone service in the state upwards by approximately $3,300,000 a year. Three times since world war II. Carolina hi?'? askril and ^rtceive4 ! rate increases fro?h the State Util ities commission. In May 1947 it asked for a total of $328,000. In August 1947 the commission ap proved an increase of $288,651. In November 1948 it won permission to raise rural rates $63,500 a year. In the spring of 1949, it applied for general increases of $900,000 a year. In April 1949 the commis sion granted it $603,958.
