LOCAL POLICE SETUP STUDIED Mayor Bellamy Informs Civil Service Commissioner Coun cil Is Alert to Npeds Careful consideration is being giv <sn by the city council on the pro posed addition of employes to the police and fire departments, Mayor Hargrove Bellamy informed Edward W. Carr, secretary to the new civil service commission at a meeting yes terday of the city council. Mr Carr requested the council to supply him with information on how many additional members of the de partments are contemplated in the new budget. Several weeks ago 43 applicants, including three negroes, were given written examinations for fire an police department jobs, but an eligi ble list has not yet been announced^ It has been agreed by members of the council that increases in the de partments are needed, due to great er population of the city. EARLY PASSAGE SEEN FOR ARMY RETENTION BILL (Continued From Page 0»e) Balkan campaigns and now num bered about 2,000,000 men. with a potential force of 6,500,000. Thomas opened the debate with the observation that there was “serious danger” to the United States in a world where the whole theory of democratic government was being challenged by “the greatest—the most successful army the world has ever known. Taft protested that retention of the 800,000 or 900,000 young men already drawn into the army by the draft would be unfair inasmuch as many of those not thus far called might escape similar serv ice. He noted that Marshall had objected to a plan to fix the maxi mum service of selectees at 16 months because it called for an increase in the number of men undergoing training. Thomas replied that there was no intention of abandoning the theory of rotating service of selec tees in order to build up a trained reserve and Senators Austin (R~ Vt.) and Hill (D.-Ala.) supported him. _ COME AND SEE COLONIAL VILLAGE J’Ast off Wrlghtsville Turnpike.

HILL, Sec.-Treas. oThrifty {People $oin rJhe {Peoples — ■ .— ———— TRAFFIC REPORT GIVEN TO COUNCIL LeGwin Submits Result of Two-Month Survey; Many Changes Presaged City officials believe submission of a report on an investigation made during the past two months by Councilman Robert LeGwin pre sages far-reaching changes in Wil mington traffic regulations. The re port was submitted at yesterday’s meeting of the council. Mr. LeGwin’s report was n o t made public because of the fact that the council approved a mo tion made by Mayor Hargrove Bel lamy that action be deferred until James G. Wallace, newly-appoint ed city manager, assumes his duties. Mr. Wallace is expected to take office on August 4. Make Investigations The traffic situation in the city has become more complex during the last few months, and Mr. Le Gwin and Police Chief Charles H. Casteen have devoted considerable time and thought to the npatter. They have held numerous confer ences, and made many investiga tions, from which Mr. LeGwin’s report of today is believed to have evolved. The council recently adopted an ordinance creating nine additional loading zones in the downtown sec tion, following complaints from many business establishments that they were being seriously incon venience because of crowded traf fic conditions which prevented trucks from loading and unloading without risk of violating trafic ordinances. This situation, police officials say, has also adversely affected private parking. Several weeks ago police "tightened up’ on traf fic violators, and since that time several hundred arrests have been made. Chief Casteen emphasized that this action was not to be con sidered a "traffic drive” and that his department nad no desire to work hardships upon motorists, but that something had to be done to relieve an almost intolerable situation. Mr. Casteen also has issued a warning against jaywalking—pe destrians crossing street intersec tions on red lights, or crossing streets in the middle of a block— but so far no arrests have been made. The police chief issued in structions to officers to wait sev eral days in order to give pedes trians time to become accustomed to the notice that an ordinance against indiscriminate walking will be enforced. 3 STEWART SAYS (Continued From Page Four) isn’t an impossibility, but a plurality of ’em are enough to drive you cuckoo. Only Three Situations The other day, for example, I was assigned to stand by the juniorest of my trio. As I was doing so, hap pening to glance up, I detected the seniorest of the fleet engaged in sucking a darning needle. Of course I sprang for her. With a yell, the little critter tore out of the bedroom, through a hall into the kitchen, still sucking. I after her. Instantly the grandkid I’d been detailed to watch let out a screech at being deserted. Overtaking the fugitive In a remote corner of the kitchen, I grabbed the needle, to the accompaniment of a terrible outcry. Then, wheeling around, I beheld, through a couple of doorways, the third unit of the triumvirate upsetting a bottle of ink in the parlor. At that, though, I have only three situations to deal with. The state department’s distractions are an in finite multiplicaton of that many, and its distribution of ’em is even wider than mine is. Germany, gong on the rampage, overran a considerable number of countries. Nevertheless, at that stage of the game, they were adja cent. It was a localized muss, from our standpoint. It was a big spot for the department to watch( but there was only one of it. The Battle of the Atlantic sprawl ed matters out considerably. Next came Denmark and Norway —worse anu iiivxc ui By that time Italy was In the rookus and the Balkans and the Middle East called for attention. Meanwhile Latin-American reper cussions had started to repercuss noticeably, somewhat threateningly and very jr^zzingly. Presently Ger many hopfSff on Russia. That prom ised to involve Spain in the general mixup, the Spanish government (though by no means all the Spanish people) being pro-Axis and anti Moscow. Spain and Russia added to confusion as to Batin America. The Nazis have been busy there all along. It’s surmised that Spanish influence may be helpful to ’em, since it’s so predominantly our southern neighbors’ mother country. Yet there’s a lot of Communistic sentiment in their midst. So maybe Spain’ll 'be counteracted in ’em by their percentage of Russian sym pathy. Now Japan’s got the state depart ment guessing. Police Department Quiet; Court Hears Traffic Cases Another unusually quiet day was marked up yesterday by the city polic edepartment. Only five traf fic violations were filed in recorder’s court. Outside the traffic violations, complaints filed with the depart ment included the usual disorderly and drunkenness charges.

It was added that the Red air fleet was in heavy and continuing ofensive action In co operation with the millions of Sov iet ground forces, striking on an at the lng gray lines of German motorized and mechanized forces and at Nazi artillery concentra tions. Pravda reported, however, that every one of the three major plans of the German ofensive had been smashed. These, it said, were the efforts to capture Moscow, Len ingrad and Kiev. The major results of the cam paign so far, the paper added, were the destruction of some of the best of German divisions, the undermining of German morale, and a heavy drain on German war supplies and particularly fuel.
