CITY TO PROTEST NEGRO BILLETING Bellamy to Make Complaint Against Colored Soldiers Be ing Stationed Heie Chief of Police Charles Hs Cas teen yesterday sounded an implied warning that Camp Davis so.diers j. the future might be arrested by city police where warranted, at the same time Mayor Har roVe Bellamy and the city coun cil ordered that a formal protest be lodged with the government Gainst billeting of negro soldiers jrf the Marine hospital at Eighth nd Church streets. The joint actions followed a warning by Councilman Edgar L. y0w that the public could expect more arrests throughout the city, but refrained from any mention 0f service men. He said the in crease would be due to the 40 per cent population increase during the past year. ... . Mr. Vow s statement was made primarily in the interest of en larging the police force by 10 men, which increase has been tentative ly authorized in the new budget. He likewise pointed out that so far the civil service commission tas presented the council with a hSt of eligibles for the jobs. The statement was answered re cently by Edward Carr, civil serv ice secretary with the announce ment that of the 40 men taking the examination for vacancies on the police and fire force on July 15 that only a very small number had passed. A call has been issued for more applicants. Attention of the Marine hospital situation was brought before the council by City Manager James G. Wallace, who pointed out that the area was almost entirely sur rounded by white residents. He said that while the property did belong to the government, he be lieved that the city should have been consulted about the matter or at least given a fair time warn ing that the troops would move in. PROPOSED TRUCK ROUTE IS ENDORSED (Continued From Page One) gasoline and other Inflammable ma terials, constitutes a menace to life and property.”* Map Shown Mr. O’Shields presented to the council a large map of Wilmington, on which the proposed new truck route had been traced in red ink. The proposed route would start at Third and Dawson streets (Front and Dawson when Front street road to Sunset Park is completed), run ning up Dawson street to Tenth street, thence across town to Tenth and Grace streets; turns up Grace street to McRae street where it con tinues the balance of the way across town to Ninth and Nixon. The route then woilld turn down Nixon street and run to Fourth and Nixon, where this intersection provides a central point for oil trucks coming into the city from the north and west. ' Only Two Turns Mr. O’Shields said that if this route is adopted, only two turns, both on Grace street, are necessary from Dawson to Nixon street. "This proposed route,” Mr. O'Shields stated, “is for the use of heavy oil transports, and we belieVe, if it is followed, there would be less danger to life and property. We feel that Third, Fourth and Fifth streets are sufficient arteries for our tourist traffic, and this pro posed new route will be used solely for trucks.” Mayor Hargrove Bellamy said the members of the council had been firing consideration to a new truck route, and that the suggestion of the commerce organization would be fully studied and considered. NO APPEASEMENT WITH JAPS, EDEN (Continued From Page One) said that while Britain had given Thailand (Siam) no specific assur ances of military aid if her inde pendence should be threatened, "that does not mean we are not ready to take strong steps against aggression.” They intimated that the absence °f specific guarantees to Thailand, Where Japan is reported seeking military and economic advantages, was due mainly to Thailand’s fail ure to request such pledges. They said any further moves by Japan would be regarded as “ex i tremely serious” and that Britain •'■ready had faken adequate de fense measures in the Far East. City Warns Drive-Ins To Clean Up Premises Striving for an ever cleaner and more sanitary city, councilmen yes terday sounded a warning to oper ators of drive-in sandwich and drink stands that henceforth the grounds around their buildings must be kept clean of all rubbish and paper at all times. Threat of a city ordinance to curb the unsightliness of some of the places, City Manager James G. Wallace to contact all such firms and ask them in a courteous manner to have their customers refrain from throwing their trash onto their park ing lots. Formal and final adoption of the $1,051,903.33 city budget for the 1941-42 fiscal year was delayed when attention was called to the fact that twenty days had not elapsed since the first publication of the tentative budget on August 4. it is expected that the budget will receive approval at next Wednesday’s meet ing of the council. The 20-day regulation is prescribed in a state law. An increase in greens fees as well as membership fees by the municipal golf course was approved by the council following a recom mendation made by a special com mittee which was appointed some time ago to study the matter. The greens fees will be increased from 50 cents to 65 cents for the 18-hole course, and the following in creases were adopted for member ship fees: Quarterly, $7 to $8; yearly, $25 to $28. It also was voted to fix locker fees at 10 cents for one day; 25 cents for a week, and 50 cents for a month. ARMY CONSIDERING CITY AS CENTRAL MANEUVERS DEPOT (Continued From Page One) quire four box car loads of potatoes, four carloads of oranges, four car loads of apples and one carload of lemons daily. With the necessary , side vegetables and fruits that would be required one may draw an idea of the score of the business. Considered Raleigh Lieut.-Col. J. A. St. Louis, com manding officer of the fourth corps area quartermaster area who is in charge of the base here talked with Gov. J. M. Broughton at Raleigh some time ago before the basic quar termaster depot was located here, and is understood to have been prom ised by the governor at that time that if the government wished to lo cate the base in his city that he would donate the use of the state fairgrounds for the purpose even if it necessitated the postponement of the annual hforth Carolina State fair. After the conversation, however, the Wilmington location was chosen beeause/of its adaptability to the pro per care for railroads. It was re vealed that the basic quartermaster depot here would alone pay out $500, 000 in rail expenses. Meanwhile it was said that a field bakery would be set up at Hamlet. Quartermaster officials also stated that in excess of 26,000,000 pounds of ice Would be required to keep fresh the supplies used during the war games which will spread over both North and South Carolina. DAVIS REACHES FULL STRENGTH (Continued From Page One) vals troops for six anti-aircraft regiments, the barrage balloon training center and school, and the 54th regiment, a 155mm. (TD) unit. The 500 selectees expected to ar rive around midnight Thursday will come from Camp Upton, N. Y., and will complete the quota for the 96th CA lAA) regiment. With the exception of the original cadre, all troops in the 96th are from New York and New Jersey. The 93rd regiment was the first camp unit to receive selectees, who came from Camp Grant, 111. All the seven remaining units at Camp Davis were activated there, with the exception of the 54th regi ment, which was activated at Camp Wallace, Texas. Cp-ip Davis is the only Army post in the country with all three elements of Coast Artillery under a single command. These units are anti-aircraft, seacoast and barrage balloon. Construction of the camp began on December 14, 1940, and was completed on May 29 of this year. Since that time, additional con struction totalling $2,000,000 has been authorized, bringing the cost of the camp to almost $20,000,000. 3 BRITAIN SEES LONG RED WAR (Continued From Page One) cern over the rising Nazi influence in Iran. While the British are reluctant to mention any pressure on Iran, the Russians are said to be ready to “kick the Germans out of Iran themselves unless the Iranians do it for them.” Military observers here take a much graver view of the military situation. They feel that the Ger mans realize the hazards of a win ter campaign as well as the Rus sians and British and that they are making every effort to smash the southern Soviet army and drive through to the Caucasus. 2 WEATHER (Continued From Page One) WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. — (IP) — Weather bureau records of temperature and rainfall for the 24 hours ending 8 p. m., In the principal cotton growing areas nad elsewhere: Station High Low Prec.

In making the announcement Governor Broughton said that he “did not propose at this time to exercise the authority given him by the act of thft legislature of 1941 to set up a separate division of Tax Research, but tbjtf, the work of tax research that has hereto fore been done within the Depart ment of Revenue will be enlarged in scope with the view of making available prior to the next session of the general assembly complete information in the field of tax re search.” Immediately after Broughton made the announcement Maxwell was sworn in. Associate Justice A. F. Seawell of the state supreme court administered the oath. “I’m very happy,” Maxwell said. “I’ve completely regained my health and I am deeply grateful to Governor Broughton for this expression of his confidence in me.” Maxwell suffered a stroke of paralysis during the gubernatorial campaign. Maxwell is regarded as an au thority in the field of taxation. He is president of the National Tax association and an ex-presi dent of the National Association of Tax Administrators. He has served three full terms as commissioner of revenue and is the oldest state official from the standpoint of service. Governor Gardner named him commissioner of revenue in 1929 and he was re appointed by Governor Ehring haus, Hoey and Broughton. 2 OBITUARIES MRS.

Flames Sweep Through Two Factories in Ireland BELFAST, North Ireland, Aug. 20. —(AO—Three fires broke out almost simultaneously tonight in the Belfast Falls road industrial section. All were extinguished before mid night but flames ate through two factories, the Ross spinning mill and the British Rayon Silk corporation'. The third blaze was at the Northlrn Spinning corporation. There was no official announce ment on origin of the fires. 25 New Polio Victims Reported in Alabama MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 20. —W-^Twenty-five new cases of poliomyelities—the largest single days’ total in the state’s history— were reported to Alabama health authorities today, while school of ficials postponed openings to pre vent spread of the epidemic. The new cases put the state total for the year at 422, of which 398 were diagnosed since July 1. AIR-BORNE TANKS DROPPED BEHIND NAZI BATTLE LINE (Continued From Page One) they tried to entrench farther west, it said. Then the Russians pushed across a river and challenged the Ger mans’ third line atop a hill. At this juncture, the Red air force dropped tanks deep behind the Nazi defenses, infantrymen leaped from the tanks, and this combination of men and machine decided the issue of the moment, tin Red Star account continued. (Size of the tanks was not men tioned. The Russians practiced air borne tank invasion in July, 1940, intaking over Bessarabia and the northern Bucovina from Rumania. At that time neutral military ex perts said it was entirely possible to land small tanks suspended be tween the wheels of big transport planes.) Red Star quoted captured Ger mans as complaining that for three days the Russian artillery barrage was so intense they dared not even peep out of their entrenchments. The official Soviet news agency, Tass, carried a briefer but sup porting account of the same or a similar action in which five Rus sian village were wrested from the Germans, and military dispatches told of retaking a point identified only a% “P” on the central front. Of the fighting on the North and South the Russian reports were far less specific, but portrayed the Red forces as deployed about No vogorod in a struggle which might well be long and bloody due to terrain favorable to defense. Novogoro, ancient walled town on a hill amid swamps, and bor dered by the Volkhov river, is in a province half covered with for ests and containing 1,200 lakes— no trifling obstacles for blitzkrieg invasion. An action of almost equal viol ence, said the official afternoon war bulletin, transfixed a new the ater along the lower central front —about Gomel midway between Smolensk and Kiev, the Ukranian capital. The situation about Odessa in the lower Ukraine was not official ly discussed, but an indication that the Germans were using air-borne troops (perhaps to make an east ward crossing of the Dnieper riv er) was given in an announcement that Junkers transports loaded with light tanks as well as men had been shot down in unstated areas. Use Crete Technique Military quarters in London pre dicted that the Germans would use the Crete technique of aerial troops in their efforts to cross the Dnieper in force and thus to pre vent the formation on its eastern banks of a new Russian line to de fend the eastern Ukraine. It was likely, these informants added, that the Soviet Marshal Semeon Budyenny already had de stroyed all bridges across the Dnieper after withdrawing many of his troops. Now, they said, he must expect to meet a horde of parachutists, working in cooperation with dive bombers to hold back the Russians while major attacks across the river were launched at perhaps a dozen points. EAST’S GASOLINE RESERVE DOWN TO TEN-DAY SUPPLY (Continued From Page One) points was necessary to supply the East during the week that ended August 9, but actual daily ship ments totalled only 340,000 barrels. Gasoline consumption on the East coast is 12 per cent greater than last year. Oil companies are refusing to make contracts to provide a win ter’s supply of furnace oil to house holders. 1 ADVERTISEMENT WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE Without Calomel—And You’ll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin’ to Go The liver should pour 2 pints of bile juice into your bowels every day.
