TWO SECTIONS TWELVE PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1952" PUBLISHED TUESDAY A^D FRIDAYS Taylor Brothers Confer Friday J At Morehead City Former Sea Level Residents Meet with Medical Soci ety, Hospital Trustees At thi invitation of Dr. B. F. Royal, Morehead City, the Taylor * brothers, D. E., W. R., Alfred, and . Leslie, formerly of Sea Level, con ferred Friday night at the More head City hospital with members of the hospital board of trustees and the Carteret County Medical society. Also present was Graham Davis, Battle Creek, Mich., who is in charge of hospital institutions of tbe Kellogg Foundation and is di recting now a pilot study for the University of North Carolina on t hospital maintenance in this state. The .purpose of the meeting was to learn more in detail the Taylor brothers' plans for building a 27 bed hospital at Sea Level, their home community. Physicians and persons affiliated with the Morehead City hospital suggested that the Taylors consider a contribution to the Morehead City institution. Doctors exp|esscd the opinion that they thought a hospital at Sea Level would diffi ? cult to staff. The Taylor brothers, who with their father, Maltby, have organ ized a charitable foundation "for the purpose of developing projects of this kind," such as hospitals, are vitally interested, however, in do ing something for Sea Level, the place where they were reared. Davis, who was called in for con i sultatfpn. is a native Carteret t countian, the son of Mrs. J. J. Da vis of Smyrna and the late Dr. pavis. No final decision was made at Friday night's meeting and it is generally believed that the Taylors will proceed with plans for some type of hospital at Sea Level. D. E. Taylor is president of the West India Fruit and Steamship co., West Falm Beach, Fla. His brothers are also affiliated with that concern. In 1940 he purchased the 537-room Palm Beach Biltmore hotel at a price reported to be $2 million. At that time he also operat ed the Norfolk sugar brokerage firm, D. E. Taylor and co., and was head of the Southern Salt co.

Nearly 200 Avia tion Marines have returned to the Marine Corps Air station after a month of atomic bomb maneuvers which again proved th^ truth of th#? axiom that all Leathernecks, regardless of specialties, are bas ically infantrymen. The men formed one company of the provisional battalion of East Coast Marines from Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point who joined with a battalion from Camp Pendleton, Calif., to provide the troops for the maneuvers at the Atomic Energy commission's Nevada proving grounds. The Cherry Point men, com manded by Captain Richard Mc Kown. formed as a rifle company for the exercise designed to give the troops experience and confi dence in the A-bomb as a tactical weapon. The maneuver's objec tives were attained according to its commanding officer, Brigadier General Joseph C. Burger of Camp Pendleton. Following preliminary training here and at Camp Lejeune, the Leathernecks came here in a truck convoy for the flight to Nevada. Marine transport planes and char tered civilian aircraft were used for the trip west. At Camp De9*rt Bock, an Army tent camp for troop^ participating in the ABC experiments with atomic weapons, the men contin ued their training while waiting for suitable weather for "Shot Day." After two delays due to rain the detonation was made over the Yuc ca Wat test site May 1. The aviation Marines crouched as infantrymen in foxholes as the blast occurred. They were nearer to the explosion than troops have been to any previous atomic blast. See MARINES, Page 2 Former Secretary of Army Ends Month9 s Vacation at Morehead Kenneth C.

OPS Says Watch Gasoline Prices Raleigh- In view of the current gasoline shortage, the public of Eastern Carolina has been caution ed to watch prices on gasoline and other petroleum prices by OPs District Director Alton G. Murchi son. Ceiling prices must be posted in service stations, the director said, and the price computed on the pump does not necesarily consti tute the ceiling. He explained that the pump price could be lower, but not higher, than the posted ceiling price. Under Ceiling Price Regulation 13, the director explained, prices for gasoline, lubricating oils and other petroleum products must be clearly posted in the place of busi ness, in addition to the prices charged for ^rious services which are covered by CPU 34. "An over-charge for any com modity constitutes the basis for three-times the amount of the over charge to be awarded to the con sumer. or a minimum of $25." Murchison pointed out, "and all ! tie-in sales are illegal." Electric Storms J Bring Rain, Death A series of electrical storms brought rain to the county Thurs day and Friday.

In heavily populated metropoli tan areas, the urban residents out number the rural, and therefore daylight saving time goes into ef fect, not because there is a vote The majority of ballots return ed to THE NEWS-TIMES were from municipal residents. Ap-. proximately N per cent were in favor of daylight saving time. taken on it, but because the pro tests of the minority, if any, are far outweighed by the pro-day lighters, and if it would come to a vote, the people in the cities would have their way. In addition to sampling opinion with a ballot in THE NEWS TIMES. other sentiments were ex pressed by residents of the county as follows: When asked if he were in favor ' of daylight saving time. Lt. Sam I Coffey, 2006 Evans St., Moreheail City, replied: "Oh boy. I sure am in favor of it. Put me down for three votes!" Mrs. W. N. Allen, Newport, whose husband is affiliated with Allen and Bell Hardware store, de clared : "Definitely not. We have to open our store according to the hours farmers keep. We open now at .7 a.m. and if lye went on day light saving time, we'd have to open an hour earlier. We cIok at 9 p.m. and those hours arc too long. Six o'clock is too early for anj one to get out." Mrs. J. R. Mebane, Beaufort, de clares that daylight saving time would mean that she would get out sooner in the morning to work in her garden and would like to sec "fast time" go into effect. Mrs. J. O. Fussell, Mrs. A. B. Roberts. Mrs. Clyde Burr, and Mrs. Johh I'avonc, all of Morehead City arc "definitely" in favor of it. Mrs. Pavone adds, "Lots* of my neighbors arc too." Mrs. Billy Arrington. Beaufort, remarked that it didn't make much difference to her but she thought it would do away with a lot of con fusion if Carteret county adopted daylight saving time in accordance with the Marine bases. Mrs. Alfred Walence Of Marshall berg. who teaches at Morehead City school, declared herself "very much in favor of it." Mrs. Taplcy. 2408 Arcndell st., Morehead City, whose husband is a lieutenant in the Marine corps, says it really doesn't make any dif ference but if Morehead City stays on slow time, they have "more time" to shop. On* the latter point Maj. E. H. Arndt, USMC, 2708 's? Evans st., Morehead City, agrees. Miss Lucille Gould, Newport, who works at the Morehead City Garment co., says she wouldn't like daylight saving time. "From my standpoint, I'd have to go to work an hour earlier." Mrs. Frances Boone, Mrs. Albert Chappell, Mrs. G. W. Duncan, and Mrs. Carl Hatsell, all of Beaufort, arc in favor of trying daylight Rav ing time. Mrs. llatsell suggested it be put U> a vote. Mrs. Paul , Jones and wrald Woolard, also of , Beaufort, say it doesn't matter to , either of them what time we op- , erate on.

The first indication of trouble developed May 5 when the crews handling the fishing refused to board their boats for the start of the season. There was no disorder of any kind. It just appears that the fish ermen refused to go aboard until their union was recognized. Some i)f them are members of the CIO Furriers and Leather Workers union.
