It snarled traf fic and wrought inconvenience, but otherwise caused little reported damage. The snow on Mt. Mitchell was 25 inches last night as the fall continued. When the fall began yesterday morning on the highest peak east of the Mississippi there already were nine inches at the crest. The heaviest fall of flakes in two years hit Charlotte and by twilight six inches had fallen There were minor traffic accidents but communications were unim paired. Continued cold was forecast. A light snow fell yesterday morn ing in Raleigh, turned to rain and later the weather became cloudy and cold. Snow rapidly covered the ground at Wilmington about 6 p.m., and a bitter north wind swpDt across that area. Durham reported slight precipi tation, with a light snow that melt ed. Whitsville reported a heavy snowfall. The heaviest snowfall of the win ter fell on Asheville, turning the city and surrounding mountains in to a veritable fairyland. By 2:30 p.m., the fall had reachee a depth of 3.2 inches. Four inches fell at Concord and Salisbury. Rutherford reported its deepest snow in two years but plows were rapidly clearing the highways. Hills were slick and traffic proceeded at a snail’s pace. In some of the residential sec tions of Elkin, automobiles could not climb the grades and lines of stalled cars were observed on many streets. Wilkes and surrounding territory were wrapped in a blanket eight to ten inches thick. Transportation in the northwest was practically on schedule, however. By 8 p.m., six inches had fallen at Winston-Salem, and Boone, in the nearby mountains, had 11. Al leghany and Ashe counties report ed the heaviest snows of the year. 2 -v VON PAPEN ESCAPES ANKARA, Turkey, Feb. 24.—(A1) — A bomb thrown at Franz Von Papen, the German ambassador, exploded only 50 feet away from him on an Ankara boulevard to day, but the ambassador and his wife escaped with minor shock. DestroyerAnd ■ Foun. 'f Newfound land v th Loss Of 189 Navy’s Worst Disaster ONLY FEW SURVIVE Heavy Seas, Poor Visibility And Bad Weather Ham per Rescue Work WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.— UP) — One of the worst sea disasters in United States Naval history—loss of a destroyer, a supply ship, and 189 officers and men—was an nounced today by the Navy de partment in a tragic account of death and destruction on the gale lashed coast of Newfoundland. Seldom have ships been battered into wreckage by the deliberate action of enemy guns more quick ly than the 1,200-ton Destroyer Truxton and the 6,085-to« freighter Pollux were dashed to pieces by wind and wave. Ana even in tnese times of whole sale losses of men and ships on the high seas all over the world, Naval veterans here were obvious ly deeply, saddened by the heroic bui: mostly futile struggle put up by the men of the Truxtun and Pollux after thier ships ran aground in the storm. From the Truxtun seven officers including the captain. Lieutenant Commander Ralph Hickox, 38, of Washington, D. C., and 90 men were lost. Three additional deaths were expected to be reported later. The Truxtun normally carrid a crew of around 145. One officer and 91 men from the Pollux perished. The skipper of this vessel, whose name was not given out, and some others of those on board, were saved. The two vessels, forming a por tion of a convoy, were voyaging along the south coast of Newfound land near St. Lawrence bay, at the mouth of Placentia bay, when the mishap occurred, the Navy report ed. Whether they had been or were going to the United States base at (Continued on Pajre Two; Col: 6) LOCALBOYABOARD POLLUX IS RESCUED Homer Clark Safe In New foundland, Was In Crew Of Crushed Ship A Wilmingtonian, 21-year-old Homer Clark, was listed by the Navy department Tuesday night among the surviving crew mem bers of the naval auxiliary ship Pollux, which was smashed to bits on the rocks off eastern Newfound land in a strong gale. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Clark, Summer Hill, learned through Washington that he was not one of the 189 men lost in the storm that crushed the Pollux and the destroyer Truxton but is being treated in Newfoundland. Homer left New Hanover High, where he was a senior, in April of 1940 to join the navv. He has been on the Pollux most of the time since. His father is a Tide Water Power company employe. The two vessels, part of a con voy, were run aground by the ter rific wind and then battered apart by the gale and waves. The Pollux was a 6,085-ton con verted Naval stores ship, not quite two years old. It had a speed of 15 knots and carried a normal complement of 18 officers and 160 men. 3 House Repeals Pension Bill By 389 To 7 Votes WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.— Iff) — In mood first angry then boister ous, the House rolled up a whop ping 389 to 7 vote today for repeal of pensions for Congressmen, mak ing virtually certain that the law which had plagued it for weeks soon would be wiped off the statute books. Actually, the vote was on a tech nical motion which will lead to re peal, but they considered that the effect was the same and they eag erly called out a loud “aye” when the long-sought record vote—the first to be taken in the House on the question—began. The handful of "no” votes in cluded that of majority leader Mc Cormack of Massachusetts. The others were representatives Boland (D. - Pa.), Casey (D. - Mass.), Flaherty (D.-Mass.), Moser (D. Pa.), Mitchell iD.-IU) and Rogers (D.-Okla.> The crowded chamber got off to one false start as Rep. Martin J. Kennedy (D.-N. Y.) interposed an objection to the complicated parli mentary situation in which the pen sion repealer found itself. Influen tial members quickly waited upon him and within an hour, he with drew his objection and the stage was set. Then Rep. Vinson (D.-Ga.) pro posed that House members of a joint congressional committee on a minor naval bill be instructed to retain a Senate rider calling for the pension repeal. It was that suggestion that the House finally approved. The Senate took similar action last week by a vote of 75 to 5. The vehicle was a measure to continue salaries to men in the armed services even though they were missing or captured. Other (Continued on ^jte l’wo: Col. 1) New Hanover County Allotted 32 New Cars Under Rationing Plan North Carolina will receive 2,077 of the 145,000 new 1942 passenger automobiles to be ra tioned to eligible buyers in the three-month rationing period beginning March 2, the Office of Price Administration an nounced in Washington Tues day night. Although county quotas were based largely on 1941 new car regisrations, the OPA said, counties in strategic war and defense sections were given special consideration in both quota and reserve allotments. Actual quotas total 12,000 cars, but an additional 25,500 vehicles were placed in “re serves” and a small number released to United States terri tories. The machines to be released amount to 43 per cent of the 340,000 new cars to be sold es sential users in the next year and 30 per cent of the total supply left on hand before manufacturers converted to War production. Cars to be received in North Carolina counties, as announc ed b., the regional OPA office at Richmond, Va., include: New Hanover 32, Columbus 19, Craven 16, Cumberland 30, Onslow 6, Pender 7, Robeson 34 and Sampson 20. OFFICERSCHOOL STUDENTS ARRIVE Prospective Officers Reach Here From Monroe, Greet ed By Officers A group of enlisted men who hope soon to be commissioned second lieutenants in the Coast Ar tillery Corps arrived at Camp Davis from Fort Monroe Tuesda,, and began getting acquainted with the new home of the Officer Can didate school preparatory to re suming their studies on March 2. While the student were being as signed to quarters in one of the regimental areas, carpenters were putting the finishing touches on the headquarters building of the school. The headquarters is not a new building but is being partitioned to provide more offices for the com manding officer and his staff. Arriving with the students Tues day were several officers who will hold high positions in the O.C.S. organization, including Lieut-Col. John E. Madison, pioneer of the school who supervised its organi zation at Fort Monroe. Colonel Madison will be assistant com mandant, serving under Col. H. R. Jackson. Colonel Jackson was on hand to welcome the new officers and men and shortly after their arrival he went into conference with mem bers of the school staff to discuss matters related to the transfer. Students of the O.C.S., consid ered outstanding soldiers from the standpoint of personality and apti tude, spent their first evening in much the same manner as any oth er new arrivals, putting their bar racks - in order and visiting the post exchange to stock up on minor necessities. Transfer of the school is a sig nificant step in the development of Camp Davis as one of the most important Coast Artillery training centers in the Armv. Enlisted men from one end of the county to the other consider enrollment in an of ficer candidate school the chief ob jective of their military careers, and Camp Davis now has the only officer candidate school in the Coast Artillery Corps, which in cludes anti-aircraft, harbor de fense and barrage balloon units. As an unofficial good will ges ture, Capt. Paul M. Hunt, instruc tor in the new Officer Candidate school, and Chaplain Wallace I. Wolverton met the Officer Candi date school train in Wilmington and accompanied the students to Camp Davis, where they were of ficially welcomed. Chaplain Wol verton, former!,, post chaplain, is now chaplain of the O.C.S. - - V WEATHER North Carolina and South Carolina and Georfia: Continued cold Wednes day. (By U. S.

Delegation Get Encouragement From Washington Officials NOW GO TO RICHMOND Application For Additional Allotment Will Be For mally Filed There BY HOWARD SUTTLE Star Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Pros pects were considered bright here tonight for approval of a federal alocation of $118,000 to round out a $617,000 defense public works expansion program for James Walker Memorial Hospital, at Wilmington. Five citizens of Wilmington con ferred during the day with offic ials of the federal works agency and announced following a con ference with Representative J. Bayard Clark that “the “situation is encouraging.” Headed by Allan Marshall, at torney for the hospital board of trustees, ar.d W. D. McCraig, mem mer of the board, the delegation left tonight for their regional FWA office at Richmond, where tomor row they expect to file the project application, with assurance that it will be “rushed through the mill to Washington.” The delegation submitted to J. T. Chamberlain and E. G. Mar quadi, assistant director of finance and engineering official, respec tively of the FWA, that the $399, 000 originally allocated by the gov ernment, supplement by a local sponsor’s contribution of $100,000 “will be insufficient to finance the type of expansion required by the government.” Mr. Marshall, spokesman for the group, declared that both of ficials of the FWA accorded the “sympathetic hearing” and their response “was greatly encourag ing.” Full details of the porposed ex pansion were presented by O.

Foard, architect, who explained (Continued on Page Five; Col. 2) CHURCHILL PAINTS GLOOMY PICTURE Prime Minister Admits Jap anese Superiority In Air And On Sea By The Associated Press , LONDON, Feb. 24.—Painting a somber picture of wrath to come, Prime Minister Churchill foreshad owed further defeats anti disasters in the southwest Pacific in a frank but gloomy speech before the House of Commons today. He warned that the Allies there are outnumbered by the Japanese on the sea, on th land and in the air, that reinforcement will be dif ficult because of a “most serious” increase in shipping losses in the last two months ar.d that Britain’s smoke-grimed Navy floillas which convoy troops and guns from one part of the empire to another are “strained to the utmost.” The House, mollified by the prime minister’s reorganization of the government into what he termed a compact and “more tensely braced” cabinet, heard him through without learning from him a single word concerning In dia, at whose doors the Japanese are knocking by their advance in Burma. But in the House of Lords. Lord Cranborr.e, the new colonial sec retary, referring to the India visit of China’s Generalissimo, Chiang Kai-Shek, announced that the Brit ish government “is in favor of In dia’s political freedom.” He conditioned the announce ment. however, by explaining that a satisfactory solution in India de pends upon Indian leaders getting together and devising a scheme of government which is satisfactory to all. Churchill’s preoccupation with the Pacific situation was taken by informed quarters as an indica tion that Britain’s war effort will be directed more and more toward defeat of the Axis in the Far East, in Russia, and in the Middle East —with less emphasis upon the thesis that Germany and the Axis can be beaten only by invasion of northern Europe. Churchill announced that a huge army had been lost in Singapore. The force—which he said recently was about 60,000 at the beginning of the Malaya fight—was streng thened by more than 40,000 men in nine convoys, the prime minis ter disclosed today. Thus the Brit ish troops there at the surrender (Continued on face five; Col. *X 16th GERMAN ARMY SHA TTERED BY REDS BELOW LENINGRAD Argentine Duelists Escape With Gashes BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 24.— CP)—The lithe chairman of Ar gentina’s ‘‘Dies committee” and a portly retired army colonel re tired bleeding from a four-min ute duel today with their bitter quarrel unsettled by the slashing of cavalry sabers. The congressman, Raul Da monte Taborda, towers above six feet and his comparative youth fulness—at the age of 32—en abled him to backpedal away from the plum colonel's more expert blade. But twice he duck ed too late, and his right fore arm was pinked with two super ficial cuts. Col. Enrrique Rottje, short and 52, was slashed across chest, arm and shoulder. The challenge was made days ago when Damonte Taborda, campaigning for reelection charged the colonel was a dis grace to his army uniform. Rot tjer, acting governor of the rich and powerful Buenos Aires prov ince, was accused of standing by while elections were conducted ‘■fraudulently” in the district. They met in the grey morning light within the walls of a close ly guarded country estate. Da monte Taborrda had requested pistols but the colonel said he was the one aggrieved and thus entitled to choice o£ weapons. Stripped to the waist, they seized their dohble-edge sabers from the referee and spurned his proposal for reconciliation. “A ellos!" shouted the umpire —roughly translated, "up and at ’em." The duelists lunged forward in the first of two 2-minute rounds, slashing furiously. Rottjer drew the first blood, but by the end of the second rround both men withdrew for medical repairs. Doctors swabbed the wounds with alcohol and D'amonte Tabor da had his wrist bandadged. The referee then announced the duel was over and asked the disputants to shake hands and call it quits. The colonel glared at the con gressman briefly and uttered a curt “no.” The other echoed it promptly. Wearing- his bandage, Da monte Taborda continued his speaking campaign tonight. British Preparing To Leave Rangoon Apply Torch To Military Supplies As U. S. Rushes Store To China By DANIEL DELUCE MANDALAY, Burma, Feb. 24. —Iff)—Rangoon was semi-deserted tonight, and the American mili tary mission in the city worked feverishly to get out thousands of tons of war supplies destined for China while the British themselves were reported applying the torch to all unmovalbe military stores. Abandonment of the Burmese capital was under way as the im perial defenders withdrew to the west bank of the Sittang river aft er the Japanese stormed and cap tured the eastern end of a bridge head across that last natural bar rier to Rangoon, some 60 miles away. With the fighting raging for 100 miles along the Sittang and draw ing ever closer to Rangoon, U. S. authorities supervised the loading of lend-lease supplies in hundreds of trucks heading northward from the port city in a desperate race against time. . It was understood that some un assembled American trucks piled on Rangoon docks would be de stroyed lest they fall in Japanese hands. Only military units remained in Rangoon, compulsory civilian evacuation having been carried out on Feb. 20. As the battle for Rangoon sped toward a climax, the British uni fied the defense of Burma with that of distant India under the command of the British command er in chief for India, General Sir Alan Fleming Hartley. London military commentators called Rangoon’s position “gloomy but not hopeless.” An official announcement broad cast b,7 the all-India radio said the British inflicted enormous cas (Continued on Paffe Two; Col. 4) JAPANESE STRAFE' BANDOENG AREA Oil Drums Fired In Army Headquarters As Invad ers Press Attack BANDOENG, Java, Feb. 24.—W —Japanese bombers machine-gun ned automobiles in the streets and fired oil drums in this army head quarters area today as civil and military leaders of the East In dies declared the moment of mass assault on Java was approaching pledged their people to fight "with faith and an iron will” and urged reinforced counter - assaults by United Nations’ naval forces. It was the third attack on Ban doeng, inland site of the N. E. I. army headquarters and important military installations. Ten bombers dropped from the clouds in two waves of five, glid ing silently toward their objectives without apparent fighter support. They dropped very tight bombs which caused only small craters. Some oil drums caught fire at one point, causing enormous smoke clouds which made the damage seem greater than it actually was. A communique described the dam age as ‘‘very slight.” Despite the machine-gunning of motor cars and the bombing, the only known fatality in the raid was a rat, found near a bomb crater. Some houses, however, were hit. Anti-aircraft guns crashed into voice soon after the alert sounded and United Nations’ fighters took to the air. At least one enemy bomber was shot down and sever al others were damaged. Communiques preserved silence about the situation of invader and (Continued on Page Two; Col: 3) Shipyard Here Aids In | Curbing Veneral Disease j -K A system through which poten tial North Carolina Shipbuilding employes are encouraged to rid themselves of social diseases with a possible job as the reward was explained Tuesday by a company official. "We hope that we are not only maintaining a high physical stand ard among the shipyard workers but doing a service to the com munity as well,” the officer said. A prospective employe of the big yards here is first given a blood test for syphilis and then a general physical examination by a physician. Before his check-up has been completed, a technician in the company’s seriological lab oratory, adjacent to its personnel department, tests the blood. If the test is positive, the ap plicant is given a card to the county health board and told that if he takes sufficient treatments to make him totally immunized, he will be considered for employ ment. A large number, upon the prom ise that a cure will mean a pos sible position, have taken the five treatments required. When the company began hir ing a large number of men last summer, blood samples were sent to the State Board of Health in Raleigh for tests. The procedure required more than a week. And as a result, the firm inadvertently employed infected persons. The laboratory was later set up here to curb hiring of diseased workers and to assist in stopping the spreading of venereal ailments. According to the organization’s health department, the majority of persons found to have such dis eases are negroes ^ 2 Russian Claim 12,000 Out Of Force Of 45,000 Men Slain BIGGEST VICTORY YET Routed Nazis Leave Behind Vast And Uncounted Stocks Of Booty By EDDY GILMORE MOSCOW, Wednesday, Feb 25.— CP) —An entire German army of 45,000 men has been shattered and 12,000 of the enemy killed in a smashing, 10-day Red army victory be low Leningrad, the Russians announced early today in a special communique. This Nazi army—the 16th —was encircled in the vital Staraya Russa district, 140 miles south of Leningrad and 270 miles northwest of Mos cow, and suffered one of the most crushing defeats yet in flicted upon Adolf Hitlex’’s legions.
