New Jersey had ben called to serv
ice with destroyers operating in the
Panama Canal area.
' The cabinet officers’ announcement
of plans for beginning the develop
ment of the bases followed closely
upon word that agreement with
P>ritish authorities on the sites for
development had ben reached In all
cases except one—Trinidad. Approv
al in that case is only a formality.
The base sites, stretching from New
Foundland to the South American
mainland, were acquired from Great
Britain in exchange for a flotilla of
50 American destroyers.
While the secretary was making
these announcements at a press con
ference, the senate foreign relations
committee postponed the considera
tion of all important legislative pro
posals—including modification of the
Johnson act and an investigation of
British financial resources here—un
til the regular session beginning Jan
uary.
Senator George (D-Ga), the new
chairman of the committee, told re
porters that he supported the admin
istration’s policy of rendering ma
terial assistance to Great Britain,
said there was no doubt that pro
posals for additional help would be
raised in the new congress, and ad
ded that the extent of the assist
ance should be determined by techni
cal experts. He favored the investi
gation of British financial resources,
proposed originally by Senator Nye
(R-ND).

Cough is Your
Danger Signal
Chronic bronchitis may develop ii
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with any medi
cine less potent than Creomulslon
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulslon blends beechwood
creosote by special process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulslon with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per
mitting rest and sleep, or you are tc

Nazi Planes Stage 207th Raid
On Southwest England Town
LONDON, Nov. 28.—UPt—Massed
German warplanes gave a south
west England town last night and
early today its 207th raid since
the battle of Britain, began, caus
ing a few casualties and damaging
houses.
Other raiders, however, gave
London a comparatively easy
! night, keeping the city under
wraps until around 2 a. m. (8 p.
m., E. S. T.J, when the -raiders
passed” signal was sounded.
Many incendiary bombs were
dropped in the southwest attack
but a heavy anti-aircraft barrage
dulled the edge of the raid and
drove many Germans out to sea
before they could unload their
bombs.
Later some heavy bombs did
succeed in causing damage and
casualties.
The ministry of home security
also reported that “a few bombs
were dropped at one place in
southwestern England during the
afternoon. House property was
damaged and a few people sustain
ed injuries.”
British pilots fought invading
aerial squadrons all day long on
their old defense line above the
Kentish coast and were declared
last night to have shot down 11
German planes.
This series of engagements, in
which the loss of only two British
craft was acknowledged, turned
aside the main force of the Nazis’
attacks, and London had but three
brief daylight alarms.3

FOR MIGHTY NAVY
(Continued From Page One)
diesel engine operators (for sub
marine assignments) and others,
each month. Later courses for
aviation metal smiths and avia
tion machinists’ mates also are
to be added.
“This,” said Ford today, "is the
best thing I know of that I could
do to help the national defense.
My interest in the navy is based
on the conviction that it is the
most vital arm of our national
defense. Our protection is the
navy’s job.
“We have two oceans. What we
need now is a good navy in each
of them, including plenty of air
plane carriers.” i
Ford recalled that during the
World War he had built eagle boat
sub-chasers at the River Rouge
plant, sliding the craft from the
wasy directly in the Rouge river
that flows through the Ford fac
tory grounds.
“Now,” he said, “we are build
ing four barracks buildings on the
shores of the river to house the
young men the navy wants for
mechanical and technical work.”

TWO AUTOS DAMAGED
IN COLLISION HERE

by Roy Hall, of 418 South 16th

Grace street, collided about 9:15
o’clock last night at the intersec

Glover’s machine to strike a tele
phone pole at the northwest cor
ner of the intersection and over
turn. The Glover car was demol
ished and the Hall machine con
siderably damaged.
DIES COMMITTEE
REVEALS HANDBOOK
ON REDS’ ACTIVITY
(Continued From Page One)
revised its position later, and final
ly accused the United States—and
President Roosevelt—of attempting
to get into the European conflict.
Pamphlets of individual commu
nist units bore headings such as
these: “Roosevelt Apes Wilson,’’
and “The Yanks Are Not Coming.”
The committee report was in
tended, aides of chairman Dies
(D-Tex) said, to be a compilation
of authentic communist records
which would be useful to state
officials who might want to bar
the communist party from their
ballots or proceed against the
party in any manner.
The bulky report, originally in
tended for publication next Sun
day, was made available tonight
by Robert Stripling, committee
clerk, after the government print
ing office, through a mixup, sold
several dozen copies and sent still
others to libraries.
It followed by less than one w'eek
a similar, but shorter, “white
paper", which contained docu
ments intended to show a closely
integrated Nazi plan of propa
ganda and possible espionage in
the United States.
The report on communism out
lined a long series of general in
structions prepared for communist
party members in *his country and
indicated that most of them were
adaptations of ideas of communist
leaders in Moscow.
The documents spoke of the ne
cessity for the communists to gain
a foothold in basic industries if
the party were to succeed in ad
vancing the cause of the workers.
They spoke frequently of the ne
cessity for strikes to defeat the
capitalists.
Two Young Men Enlist
In U. S. Marines Here
Sergeant George F. Frederik
sen yesterday reported two addi
tional enlistments of young men
from Wilmington for four years
of service with the U. S. Marine
Corps.
Herman P. Walker, 19, and Willis
J. Walker, 23, sons of Mr. and Mrs.
William W. Walker, of Burgaw,
who attended the Burgaw High
school, have been transferred to
the marine barracks at Parris Is
land, S. C., for a period of pre
liminary training.
Sergeant Frederiksen said they
would latei' receiver active duty
assignments with some ship, navy
yard, naval ammunition depot,
torpedo station, marine barracks,
or foreign station.
GREEKS SAY ITALY’S
SOUTH LINE BROKEN
(Continued From Page One)
A government spokesman, more
communicative, declared that Ital
ian reinforcements had failed to
brace the Italians’ sagging line of
battle and that the fresh troops
themselves were giving ground.
(The Italian high command said
Fascist planes had bombed Greek
troops and preparations and com
munication lines, hitting highway
junctions at Perati, Delvino and
Doljana, the centers of Erseke and
Minima, and bridges over the Ka
lamas river at Perati and Minima
and flying field at Ioannina, as
well as a fort, wharves and the
heights of Corkin on the Island
of Corfu.) 4

CIVITANS DISCUSS
CHRISTMAS PLANS
Annual ‘Ladies Night’ Pro
gram Of Club Will Be Held
On December 4
Plans for the annual Christmas
baskets, distributed each year by
members of the club, were discussed
at a meeting of the Wilmington
Civitan club at the Cape Fear hotel
yesterday.
Alan A. Marshall, president, pre
sided over the meeting.
The committee in charge of ar
rangements announced that the an
nual “ladies night” program will be
held December 4 at the Sorosis club
house and urged that all members
make plans to attend.
Members also took action leading
to development of more civic useful
ness and a stronger membership.
NAVAL BOARD TO
INSPECT STATION
SITES HERE SOON

mouth, Washington, Belhaven and
Wilmington. It was said that the
navy was not much interested in
congested areas and this might
rule out the Wilmington section
becaus' of the new anti-aircraft
base at Hollyridge and Fort Bragg,
the dispatch stated.
Army air corps officials dis
closed at the same time that sev
eral sites in North and South Caro
lina were being considered for
bombing ranges. One was near
Raleigh, they said, one on the
coast northeast of Wilmington, and
one in the coastal section of South
Carolina, just south of the North
Carolina border. The two latter,
with water boundaries, could log
used for “tow targets” also, they
said.
Officials would not disclose more
definite locations, but noted that
no construction or trooo assign
ments would be involved, since
any site selected would be largely
waste land to be used for bombing
practice.
Captain Rosendahl, the n a v y’s
foremost expert on dirigibles, who
will head the naval board on its
inspection trip, is now adviser to
the secretary of the navy on light
er-than-air craft. He was aboard
the dirigible Shenandoah when it
crashed in 1925, later commanded
other U. S. dirigibles, and was in
charge of the Lakehurst, N. J..
naval air station.
Secretary of Navy Knox yester
day told a press conference he
had learned that construction of
the dirigible base would be post
poned at least until 1942. Last
week he had indicated that plans
were under way for construct'/n
of a base in Florida. 4
ANTI-PARKING LAW
REPEALED BY CITY
(Continued From Page One)
the past few weeks of enforcing the
statute.
Over 100 persons have been arrest
ed on charges of violating the night
parking law in the past two weeks.
The repealer was put in the min
utes yesterday morning after a large
delegation appeared to request that
the ordinance either be repealed or
forgotten as far as enforcement is
concerned.
The board made the following no
tation on the records: "After con
ducting today lengthy hearings on
the subject of the enforcement of
the ordinance prohibiting parking of
automobiles on the streets from 1
a. m. to 6 a. m. and finding that
all of the large delegation present
opposed the ordinance and also hav
ing heard and considered many com
plaints from citizens of the city, it
appears that the ordinance does not
have the support of the general
public, who believe that the enforce
ment of the ordinance detrimc
to the best business interests of the
city and particularly to the travel
ing public, and the tourist trade
“Therefore, upon motion of the
Commissioner of Public Safety, sec
onded and unanimously adopted, it
is hereby ordered that the ordinance
adopted Aug. 7, 1940 and the ordi
nance adopted Oct. 21, 1925 and
above referred to be, and they are
hereby repealed.
"If the public will cooperate with
the commissioners in preventing un
due congestion by night parking ot
cars, so as to enable the city to
keep the streets properly cleaned
and maintained, it will not be nec
essary to re-enact the ordinance in
the future.”

War Interpretive
(Continued From Page One)
Hitler and Mussolini. It represents
the utter failure of months of Nazi
applied air terrorism to break
British nerves.
Responses from responsible cab
inet members to heck’ers in par
liament has another meaning. I*
obviously represents a definite
shift of tempo in the British war
effort.
From one cabinet officer came
the statement that an “enormous
new call to the colors for British
manhood would be sounded be
tween now and next June. From
another came personal assurances
based on “close knowledge’’ that
the damage inflicted on British
war industries by German bomb
ers had “not eaten to any serious
extent into our productive capaci
ty” although the factory output
had been “retarded.”
Britons were told, too, by their
purchasing agent in the United
States that by next ye: ' the flow
of American-made • eapons would
reach proportions to “worry” Ber
lin. They were also officially ad
vised that despite German raids
on shipping the stream of war- j
making necessities across the At-!
lantic had not suffered heavily.
Detinue Pattern
Pieced together these official
British statements seem to take
a very definite pattern. They all
seem to deal with ways and mear"J
of taking the offensive, not wit.,
purely defensive problems.
For example, what need can
there be for a great increase in
the fighting forces in England next
year unless it is preparation for
offensive action? There are more
than 3,000,000 men now under arms
in England, including the home
guard against fifth column activi
ties. Calling out middle aged man
power before June, which is the
indicated London plan, would sug
gest that the older classes may
take over much of the defense of
England, freeing the younger first
line army for aggressive action.
