Newport Wins State Title As St. Stephens Defaults Newport became the state Class A basketball champion Saturday when St. Stephens, the other tournament finalist, had to default. St. Stephens was prevented from playing the final game Saturday night by a state rule which forbids any team to play more than three games in one week. St. Stephens had played one game Wednesday night in the Ca tawba county tournament and had then played two games in the state tourney. The final game Saturday would have been the fourth game for the team. After Friday night's semi-finals, a conference between coaches and officials decided to play the final game list night in Winston-Salem. Parents of the Newport players, however, protested and said that they did not want their sons to re main in Winston-Salem over the weekend. The state board of athletic con trol then decided that, inasmuch aa the St. Stephens quintet could not play Saturday night, the title should be awarded to Newport. The board also decided to take step* to see that a similar situa tion does not arise in future tourna ments. It was decided that no team will be allowed to participate in slate tournaments if it is not eligi ble to play every game of the tourney. Newport won the right to meet St. Stephens for the title by de feating Haw River 64-60 in Fri day night's semi-finals. Four free throws by Billy Widgeon in the final minute of play provided the margin of victory over the favored Haw River five. Newport had to come from be hind to upset the Alamance county quintet. Haw River took the lead See NEWPORT, Page 3 Utility Body Hears Opponents Of New Telephone Rate Jump The state utilities commission4 will today reopen the hearing on a rate increase requested by Caro lina Telephone and TelegTaph com pany. At the hearing, which is ex pected to last three days, the com mission will listen to the argu ments of the various groups which are opposing the increase. Dan Walker, Beaufort town clerk and manager of the Beaufort cham ber of commerce, says that he will represent both the town and the chamber at tomorrow's sessions of the hearing. He said that he hopes that representatives of the other groups will be able to attend the other sessions of the hearing. J. B. Parramore, executive secre tary of the Wilson chamber of commerce which it leading the fight against the increase, has an nounced that the groups have em ployed a rate expert to present their case to the commission. Mr. Parramore said that the ex pert, Laurence B. Maddison of Scotland Neck, has been studying the telephone company's finances and is ready to present his findings to the commission. The company's side of the case i was presented in a hearing1 in De cember. At that time, the company asked for an increase which wouM allow a' return of 7.5 per cent on its net investment aa of Oct. 31, 1952. Representatives of the company said that high costs since 1945 have cut profits to the point where the company is just breaking even. They said that five rate increases since 1945 have not allowed the company to realize a profit. The last increase, granted last May, was largely on business tele phones. The proposed new increase will be on residential service and intrastate toll charges. Various governmental, civic and military groups in the area served by the company have filed petitions asking that the increase be denied. Among the groupa which filed such petitions were the Carteret county commissioners, the More head City town board, the Beau fort town board, the Beaufort chamber of commerce, the More head City chamber of commerce and the Morehead City merchants association. In a letter to the protesting groups, Mr. Parramore asked that they have representatives at the hearing for all three days. He said that it will be important for the groups to show that they are still actively oppoaing the increase. Mr. Walker asked that those who will be able to attend the hearing contact either him or Dr. W. L. Woodard. chairman of the cham ber's utilities committee.

County-Wide j Radio System Near CompletioD New Transmitter Allows Wider Radio Coverage For All Departments The county-wide police radio sys tem took one step nearer comple tion Sunday when a new high fre quency transmitter was installed in the Morehead City police sta tion. The transmitter also includes a remote control unit for a low frequency transmitter to be in stalled this week in the sheriff's office in Beaufort. A highway patrol receiver to be added later to the Morehead City unit will complete the system. When complete, the system will allow instant contact between the Beaufort and Morehead police, county officers, the highway patrol, New Bern and Jacksonville police and Craven and Onslow county au thorities. The Morehead City and Beaufort police will remain as they have been on high frequency. The sher iff's department will be on low frequency to allow better car to car contact ovyr the distances cov ered by the county officers. Contact with New Bern will be made via either high or low fre quency. The other departments will be contacted via the low fre quency transmitter in Beaufort. A telephone line will connect the remote control unit with the 60 watt low frequency transmitter, and an antenna on the Beaufort water tank will complete the setup. Morehead City police will have contact with all departments, but the sheriff's office will be able to contact only those on the low fre quency. Messages to Beaufort and Morehead City police cars will be relayed through the Morehead City station. The system was set up after con ferences between town and county authorities. The county will pay f"r the maintenance of the new low frequency unit, and the More head City police will provide the 24-hour radio watch required by Federal law. Towns Receive Safety Awards J Two Carteret county towns have received certificates in recognition of having had no fatal automobile accidents in 1951. Mrs. Lucia G. Hutchinson, field representative of the highway safety division of the department of motor vehicles, pre sented the certificates Friday to Mayor L. W. Hassell of Beaufort and Mayor Alfred B. Cooper of At lantic Beach. A certificate will be presented to Atlantic at a later date. The certificate, presented annual ly to the cities and towns of less than 5,000 population, are signed by R. L. Fisher, commissioner of motor vehicles, and H. D. (Tarvia) Jones, engineer and director of the highway safety division. The towns also received similar certificates in 1950, the first year that they were awarded. Newport, which received a certificate for 1950, did not receive one for 1951. Morehead City, which has not had a fatal accident since 1942, re ceives its certificates from the Na tional Safety council which makes the awards to cities and towns of more than 5.000 population. Mrs. Hutchinson commended the communities for their safety rec ords and said that she hoped that the records could be maintained. Mrs. Hutchinson said that much of the credit for the safety records belongs to the men who laid out the streets of the various towns with an eye toward safety. She also praised the police departments who have enforced traffic regula tions and kept accidents to a mini mum.

Storage Tanks for Dow Chemical Will Be Built at Port Terminal Civic Club leaders Will Meet Morehead Jioard Tomorrow The Morehead City board of com missioners will meet tomorrow af ternoon with representatives of various civic clubs to discuss the proposed annexation of areas west of the present city limits. The board has called a public hearing to discuss the question on April o at 7:30 p.m. in the city hall. After the hearing a referendum may be called at which time resi dents of the area will vote on the question. Areas involved in the proposed annexation are the state-owned property west of the present city limit at Thirty-fourth street and south of the railroad tracks; the area between the railroad tracks and the present highway 70 west to the west state property line; and the area north of highway 70 be tween Twenty-fifth street and Twenty-eighth street to Calico creek. The town's present limits are Thirty-fourth street south of the railroad and Twenty-fifth street north of the railroad. The board of commissioners is seeking to enlist the aid of the civic clubs to explain the purposes of the proposed annexation to resi dents in the areas. Members of the board have expressed their in tention to give everyone involved a chance to express his personal opinion. The commissioners adopted the public hearing and referendum method of annexing the property when the matter first came up. An alternative method is to have a special measure passed by the state legislature extending the city limits. Mayor George W. Dill revealed that the purpose of the meeting to morrow is to acquaint the civic clubs with the advantages of the annexation and the purposes for it. "We naturally feel that west is the only direction in which the town can grow," he said, "but we also think that residents in the ! area to be incorporated will bene fit greatly from the annexation." In recommending the annexation, the board of commissioners have 1 stated that the move would work to the mutual advantage of all con cerned. Among the residential areas in volved are the Noyes sub-divisions or Camp Glenn homesites, the Morehead homes sub-division and the North Carolina state property at Camp Glenn. The Camp Glenn school is included. A map of the proposed area to be annexed can be seen in the city hall. The public hearing has been scheduled for the same night as the hearing on re-zoning lots on Arendell and Evans streets. Mrs. Alice G.

Dan Allen, rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal church, assisted by the Rev. Louie <bewta. former pastor of the Salter Path Melodist churyh. Burial will Kin the iamily plot in Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y., at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Hoffman was born in New York City, the daughter of Albert and Mary Butler Green. She spent her early life in New York and New Jersey and lived in France until the outbreak of the World War I, when she bought her prop erty on Bogue Banks. In 1941 she made her home at Bogue Banks her permanent residence. Surviving is her niece, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, jr. daughter-in law of the late president, of Oyster Bay, N. Y. Miss Gabrielle Brard was a friend and companion to Mrs. Hoffman for the last 22 years. Mrs. Hoffman's father was a New York merchant and served one term as governor of New Jersey. She inherited a large fortune from her maternal grandfather, another merchant. She went to France In her early twenties where she mar ried J. Ellis Hoffman. They were divorced in 1911.

The awards will be gold filled 17-jewel watches. The program awards are made possible by the Carnation Milk com pany. International Harvester com pany and T. E. Wilson packing company. In the frozen foods and meat ani mal programs, eight sectional win ners will be given an all-expense trip to the 1933 4-H club congress in Chicago next November. In the dairy foods demonstration pro gram there will be no sectional awards but the eight national win ners will receive a trip to the con gress. An indication of 4-H club achieveiQent* in the three programs may be gained from' the national figures for participants in 1952. In the meat animal program, members raised more than 800.000 beef cat' tie, sheep and swine; 8,500 individ ual and team members demonstra ted how to prepare dairy products before 89.000 people; and 119,000 4-H boys and girls froze 1 1/2 mil lion quarts and two million pounds of food. Full Information regarding these programs may be obtained from the county extension agent ? Only the formality of signing the < contract remained yesterday to complete negotiations between the Dow Chemical company and the State Ports Authority for the ad dition of chemical storage facili ties at the Morehead City port ter minal. Construction on the two tanks involved in the contract was star ted yesterday with engineers lay ing out the grade for the founda tions. The contract was approved by the council of state in Raleigh and the attorney general. The ports authority has received a letter of intent from the chemical firm and the contract will be signed by rep resentatives of the firm and the ports authority in the near future. Under the proposal two large tanks costing an estimated $35,000 will be constructed at the port terminal to store the chemical gly col. One 'ank will have a capa city of 10,0 JO barrels and the oth er 50,000 gallons. The Dow Chemical company ships glycol from Texas to Kinston to be used in the making of dacron at the new DuPont plant there, port officials explained. The glycol will be trucked from Kinston to Morehead City and shipped to Texas by tanker under the pro posed plan. The chemical is used but not consumed in the dacron-process and it is returned to Texas to be puri fied for re-use. The glycol will not be shipped from Texas to Morehead City by water since it might become contaminated aboard a lanker. The storage tanks will be fi nanced by a third party and amor tized by the Dow Chemical com pany over a 10-year period. According to port officials, the new storage tanks will mean a minimum of nine tankers a year coming into the port. It was point ed out that this number will probably increase in time and it is reasonable to assume that a method of shipping the pure gly col over water may be developed which would further increase the business at the Morehead City port ScoutersPIan Training Course Adult scout leaders from the Carteret district of the Boy Scouts of America will attend a training course in Greenville tomorrow, it was announced today by R.

The training course will be reld at the St. Paul's Episcopal church in Greenville. A supper will be served to those who stay through the night session. Plana for the new troop at Mar shallberg were laid Saturday night when Mr. Howard with Gordon C. Willis, district vice-chairman, and W. C. Wall, scout field executive, met with the men's group of the church. The Rev. H. H.
