MacRAE URGES CITY DEVELOPMENT DRIVE (Continued from Page One) He complimented Lieut. Colonel George Gillette on his alertness in projects of this type, and asked that local citizens "back him up” in the future. He said that Col. Gillette was “one of Wilmirigton’s greatest assets.” In his discussion of the proposed military training camp and the need for new highways, Mr. MacRae brought out the need for these ob jectives in a defense program, saying that troops would be needed quickly on the coast in case of attack by an invader. He declared that Wilming ton, as a coastal city, should be ade quately prepared for whatever is to come. Mr. MacRae showed members of the club pictures which have been . taken at Castle Hayne, Delco, St. Helena, and Woodburn, during the development of these communities in the past 40 years. He showed how the purchasing power in these sections has grown with the develop ment of farms and gardens, speaking from his 40 years of experience in this field. He mentioned as an ex ample of how the rural sections can be encouraged through the planting of manganese clover, which offers five months of winter grazing, re seeds abundantly, and enriches the soil with nitrogen. This innovation, alone, he said, is opening up a new era in^ the south. “A great city,” he said, “must be backed by a country that is happy and prosperous.” Prior to Mr. MacRae’s speech, W. D. McCaig, who was appointed re cently to meet with representatives | °f other civic clubs to arrange for ! a proposed joint session on local de ; fense matters, reported and the Ro ; tarians voted to meet with the other ; civic clubs the night of Wednesday October 16.

The house passed it first after little debate and the sen ate quickly followed suit after a brief discussion. Some members expressed dissat isfaction with the measure. Rep. Treadway (R-Mass) told the house that the bill was "only the entering wedge of the most extravagant line of taxation this or any other country has ever known.” Asserting that the measure was difficult for any but tax experts to understand, he added that nev ertheless it was "the best bill we could get under the circumstances” Senator King (D-Utah), a mem ber of the conference committee, said he had “numerous objections” to the compromised bill but had reluctantly decided to sign the com mittee’s report. It was his opinion, he said, that congress should not have passed any tax bill at this time because in January it would have to con sider a revenue measure to raise “not one billion but three, four, five or six billion, perhaps more.” At that time, he added, congress would possibly “sweep it (the pres ent bill) all out the window.” 2 LONDON IS FACING BITTER WAR WINTER (Continued from Page One) Garth Russel Evans — noted for quick thinking and quick action— was made “dictator” of London’s air raid shelters.

During daylight today four Ger man planes were reported officially to have been shot down in what the air and home security ministries called ‘‘several abortive attacks on the south of England.” Three Brit ish planes were acknowledged miss ing. “A small number” of Nazi planes, however, admittedly reached London and a point near the Welsh coast, causing some injuries and deaths. New intensity of the German war at sea was disclosed, meanwhile, with the admiralty’s announcement that merchant shipping losses in the week ending Sept. 23 were 19 British, three Allied and five neutral vessels of 159,288 tons, about three times the weekly average. Speculating on this sudden spurt, informed sources said it might be pure luck or the use of French and Italian submarines as commerce raiders. Nevertheless, they said, “we must be prepared for these things and declared that, in view of the pre vious success of convoys in filling British warehouses to overflowing, the sinkings were not to be consid ered serious. MfcAiLAIN ofclNLKAL KILLED ON EVE OF BIG UPRISING (Continued from Page One) planned to strike with the to seize the garrison, governor’s palace, city hall, and all other state and local offices.
