BRITISH, GERMANS TRADE AIR BLOWS Nazis Strike At London As English Planes Active Over France LONDON, March 2—(Sunday) —(iP>—German raiders struck in termittently at London and Eng land’s south coast last night and early today. Three air raid alarms were sounded in London after nightfall. The third came shortly after mid night but it lasted less than an hour. British fighter planes swept over northern France yesterday after noon, shot down four German planes—three fighters and a bomb er—and returned without a loss, the government reported. The fighter raid followed up over night bomber attacks in which, the air ministry news service said, the German ports of Wilhelmshaven and Emden were pounded despite thick weather which kept Nazi raids on Britain to a minimum. The three Nazi fighters were downed in an “offensive sweep” across the Chanel, the ministry of information reported. The bomber, it was said, was shot down into the channel later by RAF fighters. MANY CAROLINA RAIL WORKERS’ PAY HIKED (Continued From Page One) hour and for short lines 33 cents an hour. By far the largest group affected will be the maintenance of way employees, including cros sing, bridge flagmen and gatemen. It will also include clerical work ers, station workers, shop labor ers, red caps, dining car and kitch en workers where their present wage is lower than the minimum established. Third Order This is the third wage order that has affected lower paid woikers in industries that predominate in the Carolinas. Other wage orders were for hosiery (40 cents an hour for full fashioned and 32 1-2 for seamless) and for textiles, for which a minimum of 32 1-2 cents an hour was established. All three of the trunk lines operating in the Carolinas were in the first five for the country from a standpoint of wage increases and number of workers afected. The Seaboard Air Line topped the entire list with pay increases totaling $668,000 for 4,722 workers', the Atlantic Coast Line was second with increases totaling $611,000 for 3,969 workers; and the Soutnem was fifth, trailing the Illinois Cen tral and Texas and New Orleans, with increases totaling $412,000 for 4,380 workers. Twenty trunk and short line rail roads were affected by the wage order. According to figures sub mitted by the trunk line railroads, 26,000 of these employed at less than 36 cents an hour were em ployees of railroads classed as “western lines,” 24,000 by "south ern lines,” and 6,000 by “eastern lines.” The increases for “southern lines” total approximately $4,500, 000 with the three trunk lines operating through the Carolinas accounting for $1,$91,000 of this amount. OFFICE NOT INCLUDED Pay increases which became ef fective yesterday on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and the Sea board Air Line railway, wil not have any great effect on Wilming ton due to the fact that those who will receive the pay boosts will primarily be maintenance of way employes. The pay increases will have no effect in the general offices of the Coast Line here, it was learned last night. RAF IS READY TO ATTACK GERMANS WITHIN BULGARIA (Continued From Page One) giving German troops passage or face a British declaration of war.

FOES OF BRITISH AID BILL ATTACK EX-ENVOY BULLITT (Continued From Page One) Those who have, of course ought to know about political and other kinds of dementia praecox.” The galleries tittered, and Sena tor Tobey interposed, to their fur ther amusement: . “Does the senator agree with me that this ‘Bullitt’ is a dud?” Wheeler took the floor at the outset of the session to continue a long prepared speech that he began yesterday. Several senators, Lucas (D-Ill.), Tunnell (D-Del.), ana Smathers (D N. J.), also had prepared speeches. Administration leaders, concerned over the continued lengthy speech making, talked «mong themselves, meanwhile, of longer sessions next week in an effort to speed a final vote. Galleries Jammed Less than half the Senate seats were occupied, but the galleries were jammed. In another departure from his prepared text, Wheeler said “Re sponsible officials of the govern ment” had told him ‘‘we must set up a totalitarian government in the United States in order to fight to talitarian governments across the water.” The bill, he said, would con vert “our great charter of democ racy into an engine of autocracy. ’ Wheeler began by referring to an argument which arose yesterday, over the bill’s provision that exist ing defense articles to a maximum value of $1,300,000,000 only could be transferred to Great Britain or oth er nations. He had contended that by placing arbitrary valuations on naval vessels Mr. Roosevelt could transfer as much of the fleet as he chose to England. Proponents of the bill, particularly. Chairman George of the Senate foreign relations com mittee had replied that "value” was “value” and definitely limited the extent of such transfers. Returning to the argument, Wheeler read from the "Corpus Juris” a passage that said value was determined by many considera tions. It could be market value, use value, sentimental value, or any one of several such things. “Do you mean the market value?” Wheeler asked, addressing the pro ponents of the bill in general. "Do you mean its replacement value? What do you mean by its value? Do you mean the cost of it.” It was unfair to the President, he sa;d, to give him the power involved without laying down, simultaneous ly, criteria for the interpretation of the word “value.” Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich.) in terrupted at that point to say he in tended to propose an amendment basing the $1,300,000,000 limitation on the cost of replacing the articles transferred. 1 ( venture the prophesy,” he ! said' “that the amendment will be . turned down because the purpose is . that the term value shall mean any thing they want it to mean.” WINANT GREETED BY KING GEORGE (Continued From Page One) marshal, the king impulsively reach ed out and pumped first Winant’s hand, then Cohen’s. “I am glad to welcome you,” he said, warmly. Winant’s navy blue overcoat anti gray suit both were crumpled after the long journey and his white col lar was a little worse for wear. He and the king grinned frequent ly during their short chat as March breezes whistled through the station Winant, bareheaded, kept his gray hat tightly clenched in his fist. The female is larger and strong er than the male in many birds of prey,, and can handle larger prey. Amsterdam Is Fined $8,000,000 By Nazis P 1 AMSTERDAM IS AMSTERDAM (Via Berlin), March X— (/P) —The German military authorities fined the City of Amsterdam 15,000,000 guilders (nominally, nearly S8, 000,000) today as a penalty for recent disorders against the Nazi occupation. The city must pay the money within a week and then collect within six weeks from inhabit ants who are in the $5,000-a year class. Thus approximate ly 3,000 of Amsterdam’s 800, 000 citizens will pay the bill. If the payments are not made promptly, further reprisals will be levied, it was stated. The towns of Hilversum and Zaandam also were fined a to tal amounting to around $1, 500,000. WILMINGTON FORWARD MOVEMENT LAUNCHED (Continued From Page One) Announcement was also made that Peter Browne Ruffin, of the Wil mington Terminal Warehouse com pany, has accepted the chairmanship of the business clinic division. “The Greater Wilmington Forward Movement,” Newman said, “will set the new chamber of commerce ma chine in active operation, provide it with a program of work which is made by the people and bring us all closer together so that we will thing unitedly, plan intelligently and work cooperatively.” Headquarters for the Forward Movement have been set up in room 914 of the Murchison building, where all activity of the reorganization committee and the Fonvard Move ment is now centered. It is under stood that Newman is now making plans for a complete Forward Move ment committee set-up, an announce ment of which will be made in a few days. Members of the chamber of com merce reorganization committee are E. B. Bugg, B. B. Cameron, J. Holmes Davis, E. E. Hunter, A. E. ■Jones, Emsley A. Laney, W. D. Mc Caig, H. A. Marks, Harriss Newman, R. B. Page, C. B. Parmele, P. B. Ruffin, L. A. Raney, C. M. Shigley and Thomas H. Wright. BRITISH CONTINUE JUBALAND DRIVE (Continued From Page One) The fleeing Italians had been based either at Bardera or at Moga discio, the Somaliland capital and major Indian ocean port seized some time ago to enable the British to claim an effective control of the entire colony. With both those bases now firmly in British hands, military sources said, the Fascists remaining were all but helpless. Hundreds, aside from the fl.000 al ready in hand, were declared to be surrendering dally. From the far scattered fronts in Libya, Eritrea and Ethiopia, the British command reported no signi ficant action. FORT FISHERAREA DEVELOPMENT ASKED (Continued From Page One) before the national advisory board of the National Park service in Washington last October and were requested to determine what could be done. In their report to the service, they pointed out that the agency does not administer a single his toric area in North Carolina re lating to the Civil war period of 1861-65. GREEKS ARE READY TO FACE GERMANS Say Will Hold Out* Despite Possible Nazi Assistance To Fascists BITOLJ, Yugoslavia, March 1. _(tfi—1The Greek army will be able to hold out even should Naz' troops aid Italy against the Greeks in Albania, Greek sources in this border city declared tonigni. With German forces one country nearer the Albanian battle front through occupation of Bulgaria, these sources maintained taat the Nazi mechanized equipment was unsuitable for a quick offensive and that the terrain would pre vent the mass employment of 1 troops. 1 The Greeks are better at adapt- 1 ing themselves to special condi tions involved in the Albanian Eighting, they declared. Italian preparations for a big of fensive were at their peak, it was . said, but no major activities on! the battle front today were report-, BULGARIAN MOVE MAY MEAN FINAL BALKAN SHOWDOWN (Continued From Page One) be an entering wedge for the Axis into the Near East despite the Turkish-British defensive al liance. Von Ribbentrop asserted that as a matter of fact the power of Britain already was broken— “that is evidenced by England’s appeal to other lands for help. This help, even if it comes, will be too late.” For, he said, “the Axis armies are drawn up, ready for action, to grab and strike England wherever she shows herself. . . . The states represented here to day are on watch and ready to make their contribution to the final triumph of our common cause. PHILOFF SIGNS Present besides Von Ribbentrop were Bulgarian Premier Bogdan Philoff, who affixed his signature to the treaty at 15:50 p. m. (6:50 a. m. EST), Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano, the Japanese ambassador to Germany, Lieut. Gen. Hiroshi Oshima; and representatives of the other Axis members, Rumania, Hungary and Slovakia. AdolMJitler himself, accompanied by themiief of his armed command, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, was waiting in the middle hall of the old palace, to which participants in the ceremony walked to receive the Fuehrer’s congratulations. Philoff declared that%ulgaria was determined to "continue friendly re lationships with Russia," and defined the purpose of joining the Axis :-s "the possibility for stable develop ment and bringing about a jurt peace." Russia Informed In this connection, political circles said Russia was kept informed of the negotiations preceding Bulgaria’s de cision and presumably was complete ly agreeable. Hitler was host to the tntire signa tory party at a late afternoon lunch eon. Informed sources said that aft erward he conferred with Count Ciano in Ribbentrop’s presence. The Fuehrer wore his gray military uni form. In his remarks at the signing, Von Ribbentrop said the alliance under took to "counteract every attempt of England to hitch additional states to her war chariot (possibly a reference to Turkey, Britain's friend) and to bring England to her senses and force her to make peace through the concentration of all the political, mili tary and economic strength of the three great powers”—Germany, Italy and Japan. He predicted that in 1941 "the misty veil of British propaganda will be finally torn up," and reasserted the German theses of an Axis bent on delivering the world from "labor ing for England." MANY HOMELESS IN GREECE AS RESULT OF BIG EARTHQUAKE (Continued From Page One) The public minister of assistance was dispatched to Larisa. The epicenter of the shocks was at the town of El Assona, where there was much damage. The quakes also were felt in Karditsa and Trikkala, but there the dam age appeared negligible and no casualties were reported. 4 WALL OF CHINA The Chinese w all is 17 feet wide, and about 16 feet of it re mains above ground.
