Washington. Dec. I. (AP)— The
United States stands fourth in rela

other major powers.
This was stated today by F. Trubee
Davison, assistant secretary of war
for aviation, who based his estimates
on the full air strength this county
could employ in a particular opera
tion where armies, navies and aid
forces would be used to their full ca
pacity.
Five additional pursuit squadrons
remain to be organized to complete
the overseas aid defense in Panama
and Hawaii in the army's aviation
expansion scheme. Davison said in his
annual report covering the so-called
five-year development program of the
air corps. The program has not been
completed on schedule because of cur
tailment of appropriations.

Raleigh. Dec. 1. (APi Governor
“iect John C. B. Ehringhaus of Eliza

January 5.
The Elizabeth City man will become
the State's 30th governor to have been
elected by the people, a number of
his predeecessors having served two
or more terms since the office was
placed on the general ballot in 1836
Now, however, a governor cannot be
re-elected after serving a four-year
term.
Mr. Ehringhaus said he had decided
that the inauguration should be field
on January 5 after conferences with
the incoming lieutenant governor, sec
retary of state and other officers who
will assume their positions at the
same time.
The inauguration on the second
day of the legislature will make it
one of the earliest in recent State
history, and will give Ehringhaus a
chance to start his work at the same
time the legislative committees begin
to function.
