COUNTY RECEIVES FUNDS REQl rS Travelers Aid And Public Li brary Make Pleas For Appropriations Requests for appropriations in the 1941-42 budget on New Hanover county marked the weekly meet ing of the board of commissioners yesterday afternoon. Representatives of the Travelers Aid society appeared and asked a monthly appropriation of $50 to match funds expected to be re ceived from the city. Public li brary officials also asked for an annual appropriation of $1,500. The requests were taken under consideration by the board, Which is scheduled to start work on the budget early next month. The problem of psaviding the lo cation for two more soldiers’ huts, one for white trainees at Camp Davis and the other for negroes, was discussed at the session but no action of a definite nature wa taken. The buildings, it' was said, wiU be built by the federal gov ernment. The county was asked to pay for more than 150 chickens, the property of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Duff, of the Carolina Beach road, that were killed by three stray doge recently. There is a statute requiring the county, if called up on, to pay for such losses caused by the depredations of dogs. The board decided to make an inves tigation of the matter to deter mine the amount to be paid. 1 BRITISH DRIVE DEEP IN SYRIA (Continued From Page One) man battle front, said the next British move would be a pincers thrust on Beirut, coastal capital of Lebanon.

W. O. L. for a day and night, thanks to little Miss Ruby Matthews, aged 10, of 217 1-2 South Second street. Chihuahua became a bit bored Sunday morning when members of the battery left her in a parked car near Second and Market streets and started cut on her own to see how Wilmington compared with her former home in Texas. To the consternation of the sol diers, no Chihuahua was to be found when they returned to the car and an extensive doghunt was instituted immediately, with police joining the soldiers in scouring the city. STATE AGENTS PROBE BRYAN DISAPPEARANCE (Continued From Page One) Sgents, became interested in the case; only, however, in a routine manner—that the FBI check all known clues to ascertain possible violations of a federal statute. Nothing was found to indicate that the mother and daughter had been kidnapped or forced across a state line contrary to their will, and the federal agents withdrew from the investigation. The husband and father has a standing offer of $100 for informa tion leading to locating Mrs. Bryan and the child. Mr. Handy s announcement from Raleigh last night was the first public word that the SBI had en tered the investigation. He said he could not discuss what Information his agents had learned in their ten day study of the disappearance. “The SBI agents,” Mr. Handy said, “were instructed to enter the case by me after I had studied full accounts of the disappearance and had discussed it at length with Sheriff C. David Jones (of New Hanover county).” Sheriff Jones, attending the American Legion convention in Durham tills week, could not be contacted for a statement last night. One of his deputies here, however, said that one New Han over county sheriff has been work ing on the Bryan case for more than a month, checking down every reported clue, chasing down every street rumor. The deputy, it was understood, is working with the SBI agents. NAVY PLANS MOVE TO END WALKOUT (Continued From Page One) titude to take toward both ques tions. Their leaders indicated they would join the CIO in objecting to the Navy’s move. The Bethlehem contract, cover ing more than half of the delayed ship construction in 11 struck San Francisco Bay yards, will be signed with the AFL Bay City Metal Trades council from which the machinists withdrew when oth er metal trades workers returned to the job through picket lines. * , 1 IfNyiwHw* #r«.

It was emphasized, hbwever, that the air force was playing an import ant role and that doubtless meant terrific assaults on Russian com munications and transport far to the rear. Two Front War It was acknowledged in informed quarters that with the assault on Russia, Germany at last was fight ing a tworfront war which hereto fore had been avoided. But it was pointed out that Germans were not on two fronts in the World war sense. There is a sea and air front facing the Atlantic and England but it is not the kind of a front constantly requiring the attention of millions of men and involving proportionate dif ficulties of supply, it was said. Planes and the German navy are keeping England occupied, commen tators observed, while again the bulk of the German army has a chance to devote its attention to one foe at a time. Navy Active Whole millions of German troops stormed the fortress and homeland of Communism, the German navy carried the struggle into the Black and Baltic seas. T*azi speedboats darting about in Russian coastal waters in the East ern Baltic sank a Soviet patrol boat and four Russian merchant vessels aggregating 5,950 tons, the com munique announced, while in the Black sea German and Rumanian light naval forces scouted success fully, escaping the shells of Russian coastal batteries. Of the historic duel being fought between the huge German and Rus sian air fleets, there was little in formation. Only a Soviet aerial thrust at points in East Prussia was mentioned and it was declared to have had "no noteworthy effect.” (The Russians acknowledged early Monday that German troops had penetrated the Soviet Union to a depth of from six to 10 miles, in the old areas of Poland and Lithuania). I International-At-A-blance (Continued From Page One) It was occupied by the Red army in September, 19S9, when Russia and Germany partioned Poland. While the Red army fought the German inraders the British in directly aided the Soviets by ham mering Germany from the west in an accelerated arial offensive. The RAF blasted railway targets in northern France and points along the invasion coast. Persons across the channel on the English side felt the bomb concussions and saw the flashes from explosions and German ground batteries for miles along the French shore. London officially announced tne Germans lost 19 fighters yesterday and last night, and 117 olanes in eight successive days. The British said 30 of their planes were miss ing for that period.* Official news dealing with the long land front from the Baltic to the Black Sea was fragmentary. But, from the available accounts, this appeared to be the situation at the end of the second day of this strange and fateful battle—this holy war, as the Germans called it; this “peoples war,” as the Rus sians described it. Nazi troops, pushing forward across the face of Europe from northern to southern sea, apparent ly were well within Sovnet terr't.-cy in some areas, particular'y in what was once eastern Poland and what was until last year Lithunania. Too, the German radio reported that other Nazi forces had forced a crossing on the Prut river, which divides German-Allied Rumania and Russia, and wer continuing the advance under protection of artil lery and bomber plane attacks which had destroyed nearby So viet border fortifications. Some Rumanian troops probably were involved. Military information reaching Vichy, France, indicated that the Rumanians were assaulting the Russians head-on at the frontier of the lost Rumanian province of Bes sarabia with the Soviet Ukraine. The Germans were reported in Vichy to have captured three Pol ish cities—Lemberg (Lwow, Grod no and Kristinopol. Other semi-official and unofficial German reports told of detach ments of Russian prisoners already marching to the rear and said the German armored divisions were everywhere advancing. There were many unconfirmed rumors of Russian cities seized or under heavy bombardment.
