C. Hines and the railroad tracks. The contractors who are building the camp, Grannis, Higgins, Thompson and McDevitt com pany, have opened offices in Wil mington in the building formerly occupied by the A. and P. Tea company store on Market street between Front and Second streets. It is understood these offices are only temporary and will be moved to Holly Ridge as soon as office buildings here are complete. Meanwhile Onslov’ county as signed four county police officers to full time duty there. Another building is being erected three-quarters of a mile south of Holly Ridge to serve the North Carolina State Employment serv ice as an office. Still another time checker’s building is being erected on the road which runs to Maple Hill. This road, it was learned yester day morning from Lieut. Alden E. Spees, will be closed after the camp is built. During construction it will be kept open for use but on completion of construction it will be closed to traffic and another road will be built around the reser vation to join U. S. Highway 17 at a point south of the reservation. Wednesday afternoon Col. Mont gomery, construction quartermas ter, conferred at Holly Ridge with C. C. Hines, Capt. John Nel son, state fisheries commissioner, and four health officials relative to sewerage disposal. An area along the sound was toured in hope of finding some point at which the effluent from the sewerage dispos al system could be dimped. After the conference it was de cided, due to the fact that a large number of oysters are taken from that section of the sound, that a complete sewerage treatment plant will be installed. The effluent will be treated and chlorinated before it is allowed to go into streams which flow into the sound, guaranteeing that nc disease germs will come from the sewerage plant into the sound. A. C. L. Makes Progress Forces of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad company were making speedy progress yesterday in the construction of a 50 car storage track. Relative to passenger transpor tation from Wilmington to the camp site here it was learned yes terday that the Atlantic Coast Line railroad has' agreed with army of ficials to furnish "what service is needed as needed” but to date there has been no conference rel ative to any bus service. Buses would find it difficult to get to the camp site here while construction is in progress due to the increased traffic anticipated on U. S. highway 17, it was pointed out, but such service may be in stituted for the convenience of sol diers after the camp is completed. Between 300 and 400 men were at work yesterday morning on the camp site and other workmen were being employed by private parties doing building in the town of Holly Ridge. Work has been begun on a drug store to be erected by the Smith Drug company, of New Bern, and work is expected to begin shortly on a theatre to be erected for J. B. Jenkins, theatre operator of Maysville and Trenton, and Leo Arringer. Pulley Brothers of Clin ton are also expected to erect a cafe in the town. In addition the grocery store and filling station operated by C. C. Hines, which contains the postoffice, is to be moved back from the ro- ’ and a modem filling station is to be erected there. Meanwhile, a committee appoint ed by R. B. Page, chairman of the executive committee of the Wil mington Defense Council, started plans yesterday for the erection of a recreational building to be used by camp workers and soldiers here. It is expected that the building will be erected on the area behind the city hall at Fourth and Prin cess streets. H. R. Cavenaugh, member of the committee, said last night that they met and discussed plans and that O. G. Foard, architect, is ex pected to have plans for the struc ture ready by this morning. Caven augh said that he wiT work on an estimate of the cost today. W. R. Dosher, is chairman of the com mittee. The plans and specifications for i the building will be presented along with a request for necessary funds for its erection at a joint meeting of the city and county commis sioners Monday I TWO ARE INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT J. H. Ganey And W. L. Hobbs, Of Delco, Are Hurt In Car-Truck Crash Two persons were painfully but not seriously injured in a head-on car - truck smash about 11:45 o’clock yesterday morning at the end of the Brunswick river bridge, state highway patrolmen reported. J. H. Ganey, of Delco, was ad mitted to James Walker Memorial hospital for treatment of severe lacerations of the forehead and tongue, and W. L. Hobbs, of Delco, suffered minor body bruises and lacerations, investigating officers said. They were injured, officers said, when a car operated by Hobbs and a truck driven by James D. Wil liams, negro, of Leland, collided head-on, with heavy damages to both machines resulting. Ganey was an occupant of the car driven by Hobbs, and was re leased from the local hospital aft er receiving treatment. State highway patrolmen said Williams was arrested on charges of reckless driving with i-iuries to persons and damages to property resulting and failure to have a state driver’s permit. The Hobbs car was proceeding toward Wilmington and the truck operated by Wiliams had just en t red the bridge, headed out of town, when the smash occurred. 1 GERMAN PLANES CARRY ITALIANS INTO ALBANIA (Continued (torn Page One) that Germany was providing only the planes and the pilots, but these were said to have gone to Italy in 1 response to urgent pleas from Pre mier Mussolini. Italian Alpini made up the bulk of the air-borne reinforcements, it was understood. Carry 20 Men Each Military sources said that each Junkers carried 20 fully-equipped men on the short hop across the Adriatic to near the battle lines and that each would cross several times a day. In the Norwegian campaign, un der similar weather and terrain conditions, the Nazi transports utilized frozen lakes for landing fields. The Greek drive has left only Valona and Durazzo as ports cap able of handling large-scale, sea borne reinforcements for the bat tered Fascists. Valona and Durrazo frequently are bombed by the British Royal Air Force in cooperation with the Greeks. On Albania’s peaks the temper ature ranged as low as 22 below, Fahrenheit. Greek sentries were ordered changed every half hour to keep them from freezing to death. The Greeks, like other modern soldiers engaged in war against the white background of snow, wore sheets for camouflage. “Despite bad weather,” said one front dispatch, “Greek columns are continuing their advance, es pecially in the central sector where, after heavy artillery fire, they reached Klisura. “The Italians abandoned 1 their positions, where they had been fighting for three days, and left in the hands of the Greek troops abundant war material and quite a few prisoners.” But at Klisura as well as at Tepeleni the Greeks refrained from entering the reportedly abandoned towns. Instead, Greek army chief tains massed their heavy artillery and poured shells over the towns into hastily entrenched Italian po sitions in the background hills. 1 U. S. SPEEDS UP AID TO BRITAIN (Continued from Page One) as many tactical planes — bombers, pursuit ships and certain observa tion craft—as the Army did during November, it was said. Actual num bers were not disclosed, on the ground that this was valuable mili tary information. Aside from the administration’s policy of all aid “short of war,” one of the reasons the British received such a preponderance of America’s warplane production was the Army’s action in exchanging current produc tion for later model ships. Last spring, for instance, the Army agreed to let the British buy some of the Curtiss P-40 pursuit ships it ; xd ordered. The Army’s original order, greatly reduced, was filled by the last of October. Thus virtually all production of P-40’S is now going to the British. At the time it reduced its own or der of this type plane, however, the Army placed orders with the Curtiss "Wright company for great numbers of modem ships embodying lessons learned in the European war. Deliv eries of one type of these are sched uled to start in February, of another in April. __ EMPTY STOCKING REACHES $1,094 (Continued from Page One) button to the Empty Stocking fund today.

Knudsen, production chief of the defense commission. While it was expected that there would be some greater, centrali zation of authority, Early indi cated that establishment of a cen tral purchasing agency was un likely. A reporter said he assumed that the army and navy would not be deprived of their contractual powers, and Early replied that he thought the assumption was well taken. At present, thje army and navy each contracts for its own needs, although all contracts are cleared through the defense commission. However, the commission has only advisory powers. It was reported that much of a lengthy cabinet session today was given over to expressions from the various members of their views on what might be done to ex pedite the defense program. No decisions were reached, it was in dicated, although no cabinet of ficer would discuss the meeting. Reports circulated in official quarters that Knudsen probably would be given the chairmanship if the President approved the idea of a three-man defense high com mand with the secretaries of war and navy as two of the members 5 U.
