He has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill Frank Gonsalves of Morehead Cily said that he stuck his head in the window of a car which was blocking the driveway at Dom's drive-in at 18th and Bridges and asked the- driver to move it. As he did so, he said, the youth seat ed beside the driver pointed the ?>2calibre rifle at his head and pulled the trigger. Gonsalves told police that he seized the barrel of the rifle and pushed it up just as the shot was fired. He said that he felt the bul let pass by the top of his head as it went out through th^ roof of the car. Gonsalves said that he then dragged the driver of the car, Carl Bailey of Havelock, from the seat arid attempted to reach the boy with the gun. During the struggle, the boy broke loose from Gonsalves and several others and escaped. Gonsalves said that the argument had started when he, his brother in-law, Clint Long, and their wives drove into the parking lot. He said that the car driven by Bailey was Mocking the driveway.

He said that they wanted to protect themselves in case of more trouble. Witnesses to the shooting said that the boys had once threatened to bring guns the next time they returned to the drive-in. They said that the threat was made after the boys had engaged in several argu ments with local youths. Agent Announces Tobacco Meeting R. M. Williams, county farm agent, has announced that a demonstration of soil fumigation and nematode control will be held 'at 10 a.m. today at the farm of Leon H. Quinn, west of Newport on the Nine-foot road. S. N. Hawks of Raleigh, tobacco I specialist with the State college extension service, will assist with tbday's demonstration. Mr. Williams said that the nema tode is now the most serious prob ' lem facing North Carolina tobacco | growers. The insect causes damage [ to the root system of tobacco plants which weakens their resist 1 ance to tobacco plant diseases. | ' Mr. Williams also said that sur veys show that nematode disease last year cost tobacco growers more than $29,000,000. He says that in some sections of the state more than half of the tobacco acre age suffered great losses. The county agent says that nematodes are present in most of ' Carteret county's tobacco soils, and be urged all tobacco farmers to at tend the meeting and control demonstration. He said that soil (umigation usually results in 290 400 pounds more tobacco. Mr. Williams has also reminded tobacco growers of the need to pro tect their plants against Hue mold disease. He has urged them to be kin spraying or dusting plant bads. He said that the treatment should rfce applied twice a week until the plants are removed from the beds and set in the fields. ' The county agent reminded the growers that the blue mold diaease cannot be cured by either 'duating , or spraying once it develop* in the plant*. He also said that the dia i ease works rapidly and spread* ,( from diseased to healthy plants -i even over large distance*. hi&tSLi ? i Iki Invasion D-Day Is Tomorrow ; Planes Strafe Onslow Beach / Onslow Beach has been under constant bombardment since Wed nesday morning in preparation for an amphibious attack by members of the Second Marine division to morrow. The Cherry Point air station and Bluethenthal field at Wilmington have been operating as "carriers" in conjunction with a task force at sea headed by the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt. The planes have strafed the beach and bombs have been drop ped over the entire area in a sof tening up operation. "Enemy" planes based at Edenton have fought back and numerous attempts have been made to block the land ing by sinking the carrier. The assault on Onslow Beach will climax what the Marine Corps has described as the largest peace time maneuver ever held by the corps. Troops and equipment sailed from the Morehead City port terminal during the early part of February and since that time the maneuvers have been held in the Caribbean area near Puerto Rico. After a successful amphibious in vasion of the island of Vieques, the Caribbean phase of the maneuvers was ended and the troops embarked in transports for the assault on Onslow Beach. More than 25.000 sailors and 17, 000 Marines have taken part in the combined maneuver, la the attacking task force are 150 ships. The air opposition to the Onslow landing is bein? coordinated with submarine opposition at sea. The maneuvers and amphibious landings are testing recently de veloped theories, especially the use of helicopters in amphibious oper ations; and polishing up old tech niques of air-ground cooperation aimed at speeding up the whole sequence of amphibious landings and assaults. Utilities Board Accountant * Testifies at Telephone Hearing The hearing on the Carolina Tel-' ephone and Telegraph company's request for a $2,000,000 rate in crease continued Wednesday as company attornies questioned V. L. Choate, utilities commission ac countant. W. T. Joyner, company attorney, interpreted Mr. Choate's testimony to mean that the company is not re ceiving a (air rate o{ return on its investment. I. Beverly Lake, as sistant attorney general, interpre ted the figures to mean that the company is earning enough to pay all expenses, taxes, fixed charges and dividends and still pile up a surplus. Mr. Choate said that any conclu sions based on figures which he cited would depend on how the figures are twisted. He suggested that he was being asked to multi ply by oranges and then label the product plums. The commission accountant took the stand Monday and then was brought back to the stand Wednes day morning after a one-day re cess. Most pi his time on the stand was spent in extensive cal culations made at the request of Mr. Joyner. Mr. Joyner tried to bring out that the accountant's figures, which have been the basis of commission decisions in the past, have been unsound and have placed too much emphasis on some points and not enough on others. Mr. Choate said that his figures have been sound and explained that new calculations based on a five-month period ending Oct 31 showed that the company, accord ing to its own records, earned a 5.72 per cent return on its net invest ment. He said that if "proper" adjust ments were made, the average net investment would be reduced by $349,134 and the rate of return raised to 5.91 per cent. When asked if the new calcula tions were fair to the company, Mr. Choate said that, if anything, they were heavily weighted in favor of the company. When questioned about a recent wage increase, he admitted that no allowance had been made for its effects. He said that the company would need about $230,000 more per year to balance the increase. Mr. Choate said, however, that the increase would be balanced by the increase in long-distance tolls which the company will receive under a new Bell system policy. He said that income tax savings would balance the rest of the in crease. The accountant contended that, on the basis of the company's ex perience in the five-month period, it would clear enough in 12 months to pay everything including its regular $8 per share dividend and add <89,879 to its surplus. Mr. Joyner again cross-examined Mr. Choate on each point of the five-month figures. When the hearing recessed Wednesday af ternoon, h.. had still more questions to ask the accountant. He asked Mr. Choate to prepare some more figures for Thursday morning's ses sion of the hearing. Mr. Choate was scheduled to be followed on the witness stand yes terday morning by Laurence Mad dison of Scotland Neck, an ac countant and rate expert hired by the various groups opposing the rate increase. In testimony Mon day, Mr. Maddison said that he be lieved that the company should lower the dividends paid to stock holders. He aaid that, in his opin ion, the stockholders are enjoying too much of a profit at the cus tomers' expense. The rate increase is being op poaed by government?I, civic and business groups in the 46 eastern North Carolina cities and towns now served by the company. JL ?. ? Woman Fined $50 Id Bus Accident Rosemary King of Wilmington was fined $50 and costs Tuesday in county recorder's court after she entered a plea of guilty to a charge of failing to stop for a school bus while unloading and causing a per sonal injury. The woman was arrested Friday afternoon after she struck a seven year-old Newport boy when he left a school bus on US 70 west of Morehead City. The boy, Thomas C. Ramsey, was knocked about 25 feet by the impact and received facial cuts and minor bruises. Alfred Douglas Renolds. 17, of Newport, driver of the school bus, testified" that he had rtopped at the side of the road to discharge passengers. He said that the stop sign on the side of the bus was out. Renolds told the court that he saw the car driven by the wo man as it approached from the direction of Morehead City. He said that the boy stepped out on the road as the car approached at a fairly high rate of speed. Renolds said that he saw the woman try to stop as the boy walked across the road. He said that the woman's car finally stopped when it overturned about ten feet beyond the bus. He said that the boy had crossed the white line and was on the wo man's side of the highway when he was struck. The woman told Judge Lambert Morris that she had liability insur ance and would take care of the boy's medical bills. Utility Company , Awards Contract Construction on the extension of Beaufort's water lines for fire hydrants was started this week, George B. Stovall, district mana ger of the Carolina Power and Light company, reported. The C. M. Heffelfinger company of Wilmington was awarded the contract for the extension of the fire lines out Front street and Ann street The lines will service areas which have been annexed to the town. Mr. Stovall said that the con struction company has given no completion date on the work. The Carolina Power and Light company has an agreement with the town of Beaufort to extend the fire hydrant water lines whenever new areas are added to the town.' Approximately 2,200 feet of pipe will be laid. Mr. Stovall said that the cost of the project has been estimated at about $10,000. BMaisrl Hoiary Club Ti Dad New Officers The Beaufort Rotary club will hold its election of officers at Tues day's meeting, according to an an nouncement by President Glenn A dair.

Churches Flan Union Service All Morehead City churches will join in a union service at 7:30 p.m. Sunday night in the Morehead City school auditorium. The service, sponsored by the ministers associ ation and the Morehead City Jay cees. is held at the school on the last Sunday of every month which contains five Sundays. Speaker at the service will be Dean James Moudy, head of the department of religion at Atlantic Christian college, Wilson. A native of Texas, Dean Moudy spent his early years in Washing ton, D. C., where he finished high school and worked for the Treasury department. He later returned to Texas to prepare for the ministry. After graduation from Texas Christian university, he entered the Army as a chaplain. He served with hospital units in this country and with the infantry in the Eur opean theatre. After leaving the Army, he com pleted his seminary training in Texas and served in various chur ches there. In 1950, he enrolled at Duke university where he has almost completed work for his PhD.

The combined junior choirs of the churches, under the direction of Ralph Wade, will provide music for the service, and members of the Jaycees will serve as ushers. Money received in the collection will go to the ministers association for use in advancing the religious life of the community. Cotton Acreage , Reduction Urged B. J. May, production marketing administrator (or Carteret county, has announced that the Secretary of agriculture has urged all cotton growers to plant a smaller acreage this year than they did last year. He said that the secretary cited the large production of cotton of ihe last two years as the reason for the suggested reduction in planting. He said that the produc tion has supplied all cotton needed for domestic use and for export and has also buiit up a large reserve supply. The secretary also reminded growers that exports of cotton have been dropping off for the last few years. He also warned that overproduction this year would de press prices and might also bring j controls next year Mr. May said that the department of agricultui e has suggested that growers plant five acres of cotton for exery six which they planted in 1952. He said that all agricultural agencies have been asked to coop erate in getting the information a bout the reduction to farmers. The heavy production during the last two years was the result of a similar campaign to increase cot ton acreage. The shortage of cot ton was such that growers were asked to increase their planting in 1950 and 1951. The increase in planting resulted in the heavy pro duction for which the department of agriculture is now trying to compensate.

Fisheries Tax, Fee Measure Is Still Under Discussion j Hearings before a sub committee of the House Fisheries committee are still continuing on the pro posed tax and fee measure for com mercial fisheries. At a hearing last Thursday, Clay ton Fulcher, jr., a director of the North Carolina Fisheries associa tion, presented the commercial fisheries case to the board. The association opposes the multiple tax character of the bill. On the Wednesday afternoon prior to the Thursday meeting, the sub-committee struck from the revenue measure a proposed tax of five cents per '.00 pounds on food fish and a $1 license fee for each eel or catfish pot or trap. The fisheries association has de fined its position as being opposed to the multiple tax characteristics of the bill, but not to the taxes themselves. The association argues that a simplified tax bill would save the fisheries money and simpify the enforcement problems of the com mercial fisheries division of the Department of Conservation and Development. Last Thursday the cotamittee ad journed its meeting after the fish eries association and fisheries di vision presented divergent sets of figures. The hearing was contin ued until yesterday morning. The sub-committee has also re moved from the bill a provision that a fish dealer must keep a rec ord of the person or fisherman from whom each of the species of fisji, mollusca, or crustaceans were purchased. The original bill also required that a fish dealer be ready to' make a complete statement of these records to the commissioner of commercial fisheries whenever required and at least at the end of each month. This provision also was removed by the sifb-committee. The bill was prepared by the Conservation and Development board and introduced by Repre sentative Russell Swindell. During the last week the legis lature also passed the Edwards bill which changes the general re lationship of the commercial fish eries division to the Conservation and Development board. In the past the commissioner of commer cial fisheries has been responsible to the chairman of the board, but under the new law he will be re sponsible to the director of the department as is now true of all other divisions of the Conservation and Development department. There has befcn some discussion in the legislature of the appoint ment of a commissioner of fish eries at a salary of $9,000 to handle over-all details of the fisheries in dustry and letting the present en forcement duties of the commis sioner be assigned to an assistant commissioner. This could be done without new legislation it was pointed out. since the development board has the power to appoint of ficials and set salaries with the approval of the budget bureau. Port Authority Will Consider Tobacco Storage Construction The State Ports Authority will* consider the construction of ware houses to accommodate a minimum of 25,000 hogsheads of tobacco at the Morehead City port terminal. George W. Gillette, director of tfce authority, reported this week. The construction recommenda tion will go to thfe authority at its meeting in Wilmington today. In cluded in the proposed project is the construction of similar storage space at the terminal in Wilming ton. The proposed multi - purpose warehouses would more than dou ble the combined covered storage space at North Carolina's dual state-financed deep sea terminals, but Mr. Gillette said long term de mands for the facility make the un dertaking economically sound. A resurvey last week by direc tion of the authority disclosed, that tobacco exporters within the state would utilize at least one-half of the projected capacity for tobacco, while the federal government's to bacco export Md domestic storage service would take all other space which could be made available, the director explained. "On top of the demand of North Carolina export firms the Flue Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabil ization corporation (U.S.) has indi catcd a need for between 25 and 30 thousands hogsheads at dockside by next fall," Mr. Gillette said. "These two sources of demand do not include the very substantial ac counts of the foreign-owned export companies, one of which we are al ready serving at Wilmington." The warehouses proposed would be constructed of wood, metal or concrete i>locks of a much less ex pensive design than the original ultra modern terminal buildings at both ports. They would be con structed to handle such other com modities as sugar, imported cotton, textiles, cased goods, machinery and dry cargo. Two warehouses at Morehead City, designed to accommodate 12,000 hogsheads of tobacco, are See PORT, Page Three Bicycle Club , Plans Parade Highway Patrolman Bill Smith, chairman of the traffic safety com mittee of the Morehead City Jay cees, has announced. that the bicy cle safety club at the Morehead City school will hold a dress parade through the street* of Morehead City in May. Prizes will be awarded to the owner of the bicycle with the most original decoration, the prettiest decoration and the most amusing decoration. The prizes will be awarded by the Jaycees from money provided by the town. The town commissioners have agreed to turn over to the Jaycees half of the revenue derived from the sale of town bicycle license tags. All members of the club are required to have the tags on their bicycles. The Jaycees are working with G. T. Windell, principal of the Morehead City school, to sponsor the club which promotes safety among school children who own bicycles. Patrolman Smith reported that members' bicycles will be inspect ed next week on the vacant lot south of the town hall. Highway patrolmen and Morehead City po lice officers will conduct the in spections which will be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Patrolman Smith said that all safety features will be checked, and bicycle owners will be tested on their knowledge of safety rules. The safety inspection and exam imition on safe riding practices are among the requirements for mem bership in the bicycle club. Mr. Windell says that there arc about 500 potential members of the club at the Morehead City school. Business Firms Get Reduced Light Rates Starting April 1 The State Utilities commission this week granted permission to the Carolina Power and Light com pany to reduce its rate (or small business firms and industries in the old Tidewater Power company territory. Among the cities and areas affec ted will be Morchead City, Beaufort and Carteret county. The new re duction will take effect April 1 through a revision of the "general service" schedule of the utility company. This schedule is used in billing small business firms and industries. Carolina Power and Light told the commission in its request that the changes would reduce store keepers' light bills by an estimated $200,000 a year. At the same time, the com pany arranged to continue for > nother year the incentive rate schedule provided for residential customers. The general effect of tl|is will be to allow bonus cur rent for customers who use more power in 1953 than they did during the previous 12 months. Householders who use 89 kilo watt hours or more per month in the old Tidewater territory will get approximately the same rates as householders in the regular terri tory of the utility company. Carolina Power and Light took over the Tidewater Power company last March. As a first step towards eliminating differences between its regular territories and the Hew one, the company cut all Tidewater schedules by an estimated <612,000 per year. Since last April, power sales in the area have increased to the point that rate specialists now re port the last April reductions will total close to $1 million for the year. ? H.

Red Cross Drive Report Incomplete With rcturni still coining in, the 1953 fund drive of the Beaufort chapter of the American Red Cross 1 is still far abort of its goal of $2,700. Returns to date show that the drive haa netted about $1,100, according to Mn. Duke Howard, drive chairman. Mrs. Howard said that many workers have not yet made their reports and she hopes that final reports will show that the drive has reached its goal. She said that a public report will be made as soon as all returns are in. The residential section of Beau fort has so far contributed $490.53 to the drive which began March 1. Rainy weather has hampered the fund workers and there are still some residents who have not yet been contacted. Workers are now contacting those whom they have missed and hope to inerease the total when final reports are made. Cedar Island has reported con tributions of $41.25, Fund work ers on the island are Mrs. Claude Harris. Mrs. Herbert Styron and Miss Glenda Daniels. Aleeze L. Smith of Gloucester, has reported contributions amounting to $32.20, and Mrs. Ethel Davis Styron col lected $17.43 in Sea Level. Mrs. Howard said that there are still some communities in the east ern part of the county which have not yet reported, and she urged them to make their returns as soon aa possible. She also urged those who have not yet contributed to make their donations to the work er* in their tactions. Newport Groups Hear RTA Plans Residents of the Newport area heard explanations of the proced ures to be followed in obtaining telephone service at three meetings this week. Dan Walker, manager of the Beaufort chamber of com merce, spoke at meetings Monday night at W. G. Bell's store and Hes ter Quinn's store on the Nine-foot road and at one Wednesday night at Howard's garage in Newport. Mr. Walker explained that it will be necessary to make a sur vey of the communities to deter imine how many people would be willing to join a telephone coop erative. The names will then be turned over to the RTA for forma tion of a cooperative. Mr. Walker also said that no cooperative will be formed until the telephone company has been given a chance to provide service to those desiring it. In the event that the existing telephone com pany is unable to provide the ser vice, a cooperative will then be formed. Mr. Walker emphasized that the chamber of commerce is willing to work with any group which will provide telephone ser vice in the areas which do not now have such service. The Beaufort chamber of com merce, through its utilities com mittee, is attempting to provide telephone service in those sections of Carteret, Onslow, Jones and Craven counties which do not have telephones. Dr. W. L. Woodard, chairman of the committee, said that it is under taking the project in the belief that providing telephones will be one step toward a better way of life for residents of this section of eas tern North Carolina. Those in the area may obtain application forms for telephones from Mrs. G. G. Bell and from Mrs. Alstine Rewinski at Hester Quinn's store. Tbe Newport meetings were ar ranged by Roy Beck ol the soil Conservation service. ?
