Forest Corps Men Are To Be Used In Combatting Fires 3 Dally nispnteli nomm, In (be Sir Walter Hotel, nv j 1. «v>kkiivh 1. Raleigh, Oot. 31. —Forest fire fight ing in North Carolina is expected to be made more effective this winter and next spring through the avail ability of personnel of the Civilian Conservation Corps camps for service in event of such emergencies. F. H. Claridge, technician in charge of the 11 camps in North Carolina,, whose work program is under the di rection of the State Department of Conservation and Development, reveal ed today that authority for fighting forest fires within reasonable distance of the camps has been received from Federal officials. According to Mr. Claridge, a few in stances of crews from the CCC camps in North Carolina being called upon to help in the control of flames in the forests have already been exper ienced. He asserted that the work of the «inem.ji:ir& ’ has provfed (effectfive and has assisted in keeping down losses wherever their assistance has been requested. The camps. Mr. Claridge pointed out haviEi been divided for their regular operations into crews averaging around 20 men each over which a fore man has supervision. This division, he said, will make it convenient in case the camps are called upon for assstance in the suppression of fires. Os the 34 camps assigned to North Carolina, 11 have been allotted to the direction of the State conservation de partment and the rest, are situated on Federal lands, including those con trolled by the U. S. Forest Service} the National Parks Commission, and the U. S. Biological Survey. Even though State forest fire fight ers are assured of having reserved, help, Mr. Claridge declared that in “Who Is Cameron?” Johnson Asks; He’s Ford’s Contact With Public Preacher-Publicist Has No Title But Speaks for Auto Magnate By JACK MARTIN Washington, Oct. 31—“Wbo is thda man Cameron?” The speaker was NRA Administrator Hugh Johnson, wiho bad just been told that “Came ron cf the Ford company,’’ had ad vised him 'im effect to “keep his shirt on.” 1 Fiery General Johnson stormed through his offices in the handsome New Department of Commerce build ing, where a battery of legal advisors were busy mapping out tihe govern ment’s moves in the momiemtous NRA vs. Ford’ ‘fight to the finish.’ “Who is this man arneron?” The question resounded. As a newspaper man formerlv of Detroit I readily answered. “Cameron is Hienry Ford’s voice. Aside fircm Henry’s son Edsel. and pcssb’y Harry Bennett. Ford’s ‘Chief Bodyguard,’ Cameron wields more (power over the auto magnate than ai y other single man. Cameron is the only person in all Dearborn, or anywhere else, who can speak for Henry cn his own initiatve!” | No Ttie William J. Cameron, indeed, is just that. He holds no special title in the Ford Motor Company unless it is V’ersonail Representative and Press Agent for Henry Ford. But be does not need a titiile to exert his influence. It is Cameron who now prepares the carefully written press statements released by the Dearborn multi-mil lionaire, which are An such contrast with the spontaneous Ford statements of a few years balck. Cameron i-l credited with writing the extremely few public addresses made by Ford and it is said that his counsel on public relations has guid ed the Ford policy almlost exclusively in the last few years. William J. Cameron who Is better known in Detroit simply as “Bill” Cameron is a short stocky austere and dignified man of about 60 years. He is devoutly religious, and frequerrtft ly fills ini as preacher at church pul pits iin small Michigan town® and cities. He was an editorial wrier and columnist c,n a Detroit newspaper for a (number of years before Ford hired him to became editor of the famous “Dearborn Independent”, then Ford’s weekly newspaper. Cameron transferred to the Ford Motor Company when the “Dearborn Independent” was dropped by Ford, and it wa s said that he endeared him self to the auto pionee rat that time he took the brunt of the criti cism without a word for the Inde pendent’s attack on the Jews. Ca'rries Ford Proxy As an indicate nos Cameron’s pow ers and duties, he carres Henry Ford’s proxy and attends meetings of the Dearborn school board, of wh’ch Ford i« a member. Camieiron presents the Ford wishes in matters of school po- I view of extremely dry conditions los ses from flames in the woodlands may be high unless the general public co operates in the prevention of fires. Ford Spokesman William J. Cr.meron Foi'mer editor of Henry Ford's Dearborn (Mich.) Independent, William J. Cameron is Henry Ford’s “voice.” He has been talk , ing for Ford in the dispute with U. S. officials over the NR A. <Central Press) iicy. | Anyone writing anything concern ing Henry Ford o rthe Ford motor company must obtain his information (from Cameron and it is he who ar ranges the infrequent “audiences” granted publicists by Ford. Sometimes Cameron was been ab sent from (his offices for days at time it is said in Detroit and in those cases, unless Harry Bennet could be prevailed upon to speak for publica tion.

It is Cameron too who sits in his Dearborn office and sometimes passed out the word: “We don’t want that printed l .” Praise Is Given N. C. Tax Laws lCommaed from Page One.) ture have been called in four other states to consider the question of en acting a sales tax, McMullan said. These four states in which special ses sions have recently been called are Montana, Colorado,* MjssoulnJ and Ohio. McMullan said. “The statement that North Carolina is way out in front of the other 3tates with is ax laws and that most of the other states would do well to study our tax laws was made in a public address by Franklin S. Edmunds, president of the National Tax Con ference," McMullan said. “He was al so high in his praise of Commis sioner Maxwell.” Because of the steady trend in other states towards the general sales tax on retail sales, and difficulty faced by all states having a sales tax in dealing with inter-state sales and not being able to collect taxes on sales made in other states,, President Ed munds, who is from Philadelphia, in troduced a resolution in favor of a Federal sales tax of two per cent. Under Edmunds plan, this two per cent sales tax would be collected by the government at its source, which would be from the manufacturers, and one-half the proceeds from it would be distributed back to the states. It was estimated that this two per cent Federal sales tax would yield $600,000,000 a year, of which $300,000,- 000 would be allocated back to the states, McMullan said. On this basis, North Carolina would get something over $10,000,000 a year. No action was ytiken on ,t<he- resefluition, |howe%fei\ other than to send it to the resolu tions committee for further study. The prevailing opinion seemed to be, how ever, that there is not much pos sibility of getting the government to j impose such a tax and give half the revenue back to the states.
