The drive will continue through today, with workers reporting from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m., at the offices of the chamber of commrece, where drive headquarters are being main tained. There are not many campaign workers and those persons interested in making donations and who have not been contacted as yet are asked to make them at the chamber of commerce today. After today donations may be made at the office of Miss Julia Yopp at the railroad station. PLANS FOR DRAFT ARE STARTED HERE (Continued from Page One) and the state board of health in Ra leigh Tuesday and participated In discussions of giving blood tests to as many of the registrants as pos sible in the county. Detailed plans and program for New Hanover county's participation in the nationwide draft syphilis sur vey are anticipated in letters short ly from health officials in Washing ton and Raleigh, Dr. Elliot said. Cards, telling the registrants where they may go to take the tests, w-ill be distributed in the coun ty, which will have facilities for conducting the examinations. H. G. Carney, chairman of the board of elections, yesterday was in formed by letter from the chairman of the state board of elections that Gov. Hoey has placed the responsi bility for registering young men in North Carolina for conscription into the army in the hands of the elec tions board in the state. Carney was asked to secure sufficient volun teer help to carry out the local registration. we estimated tnat at teast iw persons who write a legible hand will be needed to fill out registra tion cards and urged that those willing to volunteer for this work contact him at his office in the Wallace building. Such workers will receive no compensation, just as the board o•> elections and the draft boa’-! prop er will receive no compensation but are asked to volunteer their services as a part of their duty to their country. ‘‘We will need at least 100 people who can write a hand that will be easily legible to persons who have never even seen that handwriting before. We will need about six per sons in each registration place in the city and about four in those in the county, so that there will be relief shifts during the registration period from 7 a. m. until 9 p. m. Oct. 16.” T. A. Henderson, clerk of New Hanover superior court, said he was awaiting receipt of a letter from Governor Clyde R. Hoey regarding details of setting up the draft board in the county. The clerk of court, county elections board chairman, and the county school superintendent, will be asked to recommend local board members. They will also be asked to recom mend a doctor to examine registrants and a lawyer to advise the board. All will serve without pay. LETTERS SIGNED RALEIGH, Oct. 2.—(JP>—Governor Hoey tonight signed 350 letters to county superior court clerks, school superintendents and elections board chairmen, and some mayors, asking them to recommend persons for mem berships on the local draft boards. Each population unit of about 30, 000 persons will have a three-man board, to be advised by a physician and an attorney. None will receive pay. In counties with more than one board, the mayors of the principal cities were asked to join in recom mending the board memberships. CHAMBERLAIN WILL LEAVE POST SOON (Continued from Page One) pending departure touched off press criticism of the appeasement in fluence in the government, of which Lord Halifax was declared to be a symbol. The Halifax diplomacy, said the London News - Chronicle, “has brought us an unbroken succession of serious defeats,” adding that his resignation was long overdue “in the public interest.” Chamberlain, who stepped down as prime minister last spring after the failure of the campaign in Norway, has been recovering from a recent operation. Approaching 72 years of age, he is still very weak and in need of rest, friends said, and has been unable to relax in constantly-bombed London. SEPTEMBER DRIEST MONTH IN 9 YEARS (Continued from Page One) est precipitation in any one day be ing .83 inches on September 6. The normal rainfall for September is 4.51 inches, giving a deficiency of 2.55 inches for the past month. The mean temperature for Septem ber was 72.4 degrees, slightly under the normal of 73.1 degrees. The high est temperature recorded during the month was 92 degrees on the 22nd and the lowest 52 on the 26th. The greatest daily range was 31 degrees on the 25th. In all there were 251.1 hours of sunshine out of a possible 371.4 hours during September, with 13 clear days, seven partly cloudy and ten cloudy. There was a total movement of winds of 6,174 miles, or an average hourly velocity of 8.6 miles per hour, with the maximum for the month 28 miles per hour on the 25th. WAR INTERPRETIVE (Continued from Page One) tinued non-belligerency. The most obvious explanation is General Franco’s apprehension that an air tight British blockade of Spain, would invite starvation-bred dis orders there that could unseat him as military dictator. He has no in-, tention of stepping in to grasp at the Axis - proffered Gibraltar, prize until it is far more certain that Britain has been beaten. As the nation in Europe occupy ing the best ringside seat to ob serve the Battle of Britain, Spain’s indicated decision to stay out of it is an important development. It means Britain faces only a two front, not a three-front attack this winter. There is not going to be a siege of her Gibraltar sentry-box at the western outlet of the Mediterran ean. It could be attacked by land only from Spain. That, added to rising doubts that Hitler will dare to invade England in the near fu ture, is as cheireng for Britons as a draft of their famous Brown Oc tober ale. Yet they can not dismiss the invasion danger entirely. If Hitler loses confidence that Italy, with what additional help he can supply can crack Britain’s hold on the eastern gateway to the Mediter ranean, the Suez canal, he may be forced to risk invasion despite v r-mounting odds against success. Hibernation Seaon . Autumn and winter are the ea sons of military hibernation in ail schools of strategy. To military minds, an Indian summer attempt on England would be an evidence of German desperation, not of strength. A few days’ repeat-per formance of summer weather in mid-October would hardly suffice for as big a job as invading Brit tannia, who still rules the English air in daylight, in addition to hold ing sway on the wave. so must be reflected in changed factors on the other possible winter front the eastrn Mediterranean. Th Italian advance in Egypt seem already desert-stranded, far from its goal at the Suez Canal. With the Straits of Gibraltar open and invasion of England definitely off, Britain could easily reinforce her sea and air power in that sector, even ship additional troops to to Egypt. She already can prevent German or Italian troops and supplies from reaching Egypt by sea or any im portant scale. Whether Mussolini will risk disaster there, and the possible internal repercusions in Italy which could end hi sway, remain to be seen. There is much to indicate he started that drive on the same principle that timed his entry into the war. He believed th Battle of Britain was already just about won. The Italians are “consolidating” at the Sidi Barrani spearhead of their Egyptian thrust. In lay lan guage that means digging in for defense, not offense. It may be that Rome never expected to go arthr; that she expctd the fall of England weks ago. Taking on a full sie desert campaign with hundreds of waterless miles still to go i something ele, particu larly if Nazi abandonment of the invaion threat frees Britain to re inforce her eastern Mediterranean fiank. 2 RAF MAKES BROAD FORAY IN GERMANY (Continued from Page One) craft barrage rose over central Lbn don early today, beating back at the second German air raid of the night, the eighth since yesterday morning. High Nazi planes dodged in and out of the cloud banks. The assault ended a period of un easy quiet that had followed an ear lier attack—the shortest of the war —which began around dinner-time and ended after several bombs had fallen. With nearly all the rest of coastal England under intermittent bom bardment from the air during the daylight hours, German shrapnel bombs were reported loosed for the first time — on a southeast town There were several casualties. Six times up to nightfall great squadrons of bortbers and fighters swept in toward London; six times, said the air ministry, they were beaten back—intercepted and broken up by our fighters.” These repeated thrusts were sup ported by German artillery, which shelled the Dover coast heavily from across the channel. SCHOOL, BOMBED LONDON, Oct. 3 (Thursday).—(TP) —Several ‘‘Molotoff breadbasket” in cendiary bombs burst early today over a famous boys' school in south eastern England. A fire was started in a roof but it was quickly extinguished and there were no casualties. (Of the three most famous Eng lish boys’ schools, Eton and Har row are in southeast England; the third, Rugby, is in central England. Eton is in the vicinity of Windsor castle, one of the king’s homes). BERLIN ALARM BERLIN, Oct. 3 (Thursday).—(TP) —Air raid sirens aroused Berliners early today and kept them in shel ters for one hour and 12 minutes. Heavy anti-aircraft fire from the city’s outer defenses could be heard. No damage was reported immedi ately. A plane flew twice over the north west section of the city and drew fire of light and heavy anti-aircraft guns. Approximately 40 to 75 seaplanes and amphibians are being built every year, about half for private use. 1 TIGERS CRUSH REDS IN SERIES OPENER (Continued from Page One) five hits, but struck out seven slug gers, including Greenberg twice to the intense enjoyment of the home crowd. Elmer Riddle, a rookie righthand er, who didn’t figure ever to get closer to the series than the bull pen in left field, came into the game in the.ninth and retired the Tigers in order, Greenberg popping up a foul to rookie Catcher Bill Baker and York and Campbell striking out. The effect of this finish, however, was only to keep up the Reds’ self respect, because Detroit’s dynamite was so devastating that little hope could be held out for the crippled Cincinnati club at the end. Even the Reds’ vaunted fielding collapsed today as Werber, Billy Myers and Baker each made errors. Stingy With Hits In contrast the Tigers were a near perfect club as they rolled to their opening victory. Only in the two innings in which the Reds scored did Newsom, a 21 and 5 winner dur ing the regular season, giye more than one hit in an inning and the only error by the reputedly poor fielding Bengals was a dropped ball by Shortstop Bartel 1 on an attempted steal. Tn the fourth inninsr when Cincin nati chalked up Itg first run, Ival Goodman slammed the first pitch into center field for a two-bagger and scored two plays later on a sin gle to right by Jim Ripple. In be tween Buck McCormick popped up and afterward 40-year-old Jim Wil son, the Reds’ starting catcher, grounded into a double play. The Redlegs’ parting gesture in the eighth started when Werber doubled between McCosky and Camp bell, advanced on Mike McCormick’s grounder and tallied easily on Good man’s line single to center. Cincinnati managed to get runners on base in all but two of the other frames, but were held helpless just the same as Newsom snuffed out little rays of hope one by one. McCormick Doubles Mike McCormick doubled in the first but never got off the bag. Ed die Joost, the slim little second base man, who was subbing for the in jured Lonnie Frey, but was not ex pected to make his bat heard, sin gled with two out in the second and again to lead off the fifth when he got as far as second by Bartell’s dropping Catcher Sullivan’s throw. In the ninth Baker, who had taken over the catching duties after Wil son was removed for a pinch batter in the sixth, singled with one out. but was forced at second on the next play. Newsom, besides keening his hits spaced, gave up only one base on balls, this going to Buck McCor mick with two out in the sixth. The Reds made fine fielding plays occasionally and most of their hits were clean and sharp. But there was not the slightest continuity in their attack and the failure of Der ringer, their surest pitching bet, was heart-breaking to Cincinnati players and their followers. Derringer had performed hurling wonders against American league batters for many years, in the World series and the All-Star games. Tomorrow the Reds will have to come out with Bucky Walters, whose record of 22 and 10 is not much better than Derringer’s 20 and 12 and whose fast sinker proved a delight to the Yankees a year ago. Whether he can stop the Tigers was problematical and whether it would do any good to slow them up was doubtful. The Tigers had Schoolboy Rowe, hero of Detroit’s last two trips into the big baseball classic, ready to go on the mound. He won 16 and lost only 3 during the regular season and although incapable of working as often as Newsom, has generally been more effective. He will have Birdie Tebbetts, a better catcher than Sullivan, work ing with him. Sullivan, a left-hand ed batter who usually catches New som, went hitless today as did Char ley Gehringer.

It gave the navy an additional $11,000,000 for maintenance of its bureau of ships and $700,000 for construction of stor age buildings. In addition, it wrote into the bill a $3,000,000 appropria tion for the development of an ad vanced specialized training field at Corpus Christi, Tex., for aircraft car rier pilots. The committee cut $2,000,000 from a house-approved item for erection of a manganese ore plant after learning that President Roosevelt previously had allocated this amount from other funds. j In approving the civil functions j Dill, the committee added $11,685,000 not previously voted by the house, rhis sum included a $4,000,000 ap propriation for construction of a new power plant at Bonneville Dam ind $3,200,000 to transfer the Ar lington, Va., experimental farm to Beltsville, Md. WILMINGTON ~N LIST WASHINGTON, Oct. 2— <iP> — \ comprehensive program for the ievelopment of 141 airports in Morth Carolina and South Carolina las been outlined to the house ap propriations committee by t h e bivil Aeronautics Administration. The Carolina projects, estimated ;o cost $19,136,489, are included in i nationwide survey .the CAA has vorked out for development of 3, 541 airports at a total cost of 6521,337,735. A pending bill would appropriate 630,000,000 and authorize $50,000, 500 in additional contractual obli gations to start work on approxi mately 200 of the projects to be selected by the war and navy de partments as most necessary at this time. Whether the other pro jects will be started depend* cn future congressional action. War department officials em phasized that the inclusion of a city on the list does not mean that there is prospect of action anv time soon under the program, and add that the overnmeril may never get arc u to the develop ment of many of the ports. The larger Carolina projects are at Asheville, Charlotte, Greens boro, Raleigh-Durham, Rocky Mount, Salisbury, Wilmington and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Charleston, Columbia, Green ville, Newberry and Spartanburg, South Carolina, in each of which plans call for large-scale airport development and establishment of civilian pilot training schools.
