J. to in in C. a and was a a a a a a a a a to 48 THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, RALEIGH, N. SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1942. TRANSIENT LABOR TO LIVE IN CAMP Tented Towns Set Up to House Berry and Other Truck Crop Workers Tented towns, covering 11 acres eith and with housing space for about 1,000 strawberry pickers, have sprung up almost overnight near Wallace, Chadbourn and Castle Hayne, The space and capacity can doubled in short order.

These temporary abodes, erected by the Farm Security Administration, are being tried in North Carolina for the first time, and similar villages are being provided for four other points in the State for potato gatherers, May pea and bean pickers Bayboro, Aurora, Granby Belcross, in addition to lettuce, bean, bulb and other truck crops at Castle Hayne. Each village has 74 housing units, each with a four-member family capacity in addition to five staff units for the manager and assistants and two interviewers of the United States Employment Service; five utility tents, shower baths, men and women; one water heating tent; one community kitchen tent with sinks and stoves to be used as day nursery; one laundry tent with laundry trays, hot and cold water. A community tent, by 48 feet is designed for holding town hall, religious, recreational, educational, social and other types of meetings. The equipment for each unit includes a three-burner oil stove and four canvas cots or steel beds to the unit. Hanging, lanterns will be used electric lights are installed.

The occupants are to furnish their bedding and cooking utensils. Sanitary surface toilets are conveniently located. A trained nurse is in constant attendance. The Wallace and Chadbourn tented villages will remain only through the strawberry season while the Castle Hayne tents will continue through the bulb, lettuce and bean seasons. At each of the strawberry pickers villages (the same will be true of the potato, bean and pea picker camps later) the United States Employment Service has two interviewers who will place the workers as they arrive from the local offices throughout the eastern section of the State.

Recruiting is done in a dozen or more offices and the pickers are loaded on trucks belonging the growers and transported to the strawberry areas. The Employment office interviewers keep jobs lined up for the workers, so when they complete one job, they are sent at once to another, thus keeping them busy and utilizing all of the time possible.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the appeal on May 20. After a hearing in the Buncombe court, Judge F. Donald Phillips ruled that Pelley had violated terms of a suspended sentence Judge Wilson Warlick imposed on him in 1933 after Pelley was found guilty of violating North Carolina's blue sky laws. Pelley was arrested by Federal officers a few weeks ago on charges of sedition.

The defense brief filed yesterday contended that Judge Phillips erred in not moving the hearing Judge Warlick, that the action was void because of the activity of Judge Z. V. Nettles, who prosecuted Pelley as solicitor in the original trial, and because evidence against Pelleymagazines, pamphlets, books and procured by the state as a result of an unlawful and "illegal search of his place of business." contended that Pelley had complied fully with Judge Warlick's sentence, and "due to the triviality of the offense for which he was convicted, the real intent of Judge Warlick was to dismiss the entire matter upon payment by the defendant of a fine of $1,000 and costs." Of Judge Nettles' participation in the case, the brief said: "This case is now before this court because on October 10, 1939, a judge of the Superior Court who had formerly actively prosecuted the defendant in an ex parte proceedings, without evidence and without rhyme or reason, orders the issuance capias and names a prohibitive bail bond for this defendant. Not content with originating this proceeding, the same judge continued to issue orders all to the end that the defendant might be apprehended and deprived of his liberty."
