C., Apr. 2—Ml_ ■State Selective Service heaequar ters will review all draft appeals henceforth, Brigadier General J. Van B. Metts, state director of Selective Service, announced to day. General Metts said the change in policy was made with a view to obtain “a sound and accuite classification.” He said the change in procedure should provide an effective check of registrants needed in war pro duction and on the farm and also to determine whether the local boards act on incomplete informa tion or ignore other information. CLASSTO FINISH AT OFFICER SCHOOL Eighty-Eight Will Receive Commissions At Exer cises This Morning After three months of the rough est kind of sledding, 88 men of the Anti-aircraft Artillery Officer Candidate school at Camp Davis will receive commissions as sec ond lieutenants at a ceremony in Post Theater No. 4 this morning. It’s the first graduation for the O.C.S. at Camp Davis, although all of today’s grads began their studies before the school moved away from Fort Monroe, Va., in February. From now on, gradua tions will be common occurrences as the school pours hundreds of new officers into anti-aircraft units in and outside the United States. The men were restless Thurs day. Some of them tried new uni forms for size. Others' wrote let ters to friends and relatives tell ing them THE day was at hand. For all, it was their last day as enlisted men, in itself quite an occasion. There were former buck privates and master sergeants in the group; men who had been in the army for less than a year, men who enlisted ten years ago. Principal speaker at today’s ex ercise will be Maj.-Gen. Frederic H. Smith, commanding general of Camp Davis. The program will open with invocation by Chaplain Wallace I. Wolverton. Following General Smith’s address, Lieut. - Col. Herbert T. Benz of the O.C.S. staff will administer the oath of office. Presentation of letters of appointment commissions a d certificates will be made by Gen eral Smith, and the closing item on the program will be benedic tion by Chaplain Joseph P. Scherer. At an early date the new second lieutenants will begin tours of duty. There’s great demand for officers in anti-aircraft artillery, which, excluding the Air Corps, is the fastest growing branch of serv ice in the army. 2 ATTACK BY SEA ON MORESBY FEARED (Continued from Page One) speed-up of the development of new RAF fliers. Heretofore, the Australians who had completed trainer flights had to finish their instruction abroad or in actual operations in Aus tralia. A number of RAF stations, as sembly plants and other facilities have been handed over to the American air forces, Drakeford said, and millions of pounds are being allocated to provide new bases. In ground forces, too, Australia was rapidly keying herself up to the peak of war preparation. A broad reorganization of the army command was vitually completed with the appointment of Lieut. Gen. Henry Gordon Bennett as a corps commander and the assign ment of other high officers to ac tion posts. Announcements were expected soon on provisions for more com plete fusion of the American, Aus tralian, Dutch and any other Al lied forces under the supreme command of General Douglas Mac Arthur. A national security order issued today gave the Australian states power to call on men from 18 to 60 for 48 hours of compulsory civil defense duties every four weeks. -V Canadian lakei> have a greater area than all the land in the Do minion of New Zealanc COURT C/ DAR FOR A , SET All Uncontested Divorce Cases Set For First Monday Of Term Calendar of cases set for trial at the April civil term of Superior court at which Judge C.

JAPS PENETRATE LINE ON BATAAN (Continued from Page One) and third to be made in rapid succession by Lieutenant General Tomoyuki Yama^hila’s reinforced invasion forces and indicated strongly to observers that the Jap anese were intent on ending the Philippine stalemate of more than three months The four bombers raised the def inite Japanese losses over the Ma nila bay fortifications to 32. The air raids were accompanied by further artillery duels with Japa nese batteries oo the south shore of the bay. Enemy air raids on beach de fenses of Bataan put Gen. Wain wright’s forces on the alert for an attempted Japanese flanking at tack by sea The War Department reported that strong points along the west ern shore of the rugged peninsula were bombed as yesterday’s frus trated major land attack dwindled to skirmishing, air raids, and ar tillery dueling. Plan Flank Attack Official observers said it ap peared Tkely thai Lieutenant Gen eral Tomoyoki Yamashita, the in vaders’ new commander, planned soon to supplement indecisive land and air attacks w>th a flanking nava foray from the China sea such as figured in his conquest of Malaya. The suspicion first arose when Japanese warships shelled Ameri can-Eilipmo positions along the West coast of lataan yesterday for the first time in two months Assaults from tne sea were re ported smashed on bo h January 25 and February 3, but only after desperate fighting by the forces then under command of General Douglas MacArtnur. A warship-supported attack on General Wain wright’s left flank would be especially dangerous be cause of the curtain of concen trated artillery' f:re that could be laid down by the heavy guns of the naval crafgt. Beyond the range of the guns of Orragidor fortress and free of air attack, the ships would risk only the possibility of hits by defending batteries of field guns. The War Department said in a morning communique that the heavy Japanese land attack, car ried out all Tuesday night and which won several outpost posi tions, was succeeded by aggres sive patrol activities and a num ber of sharp skirmishes, but no further general action. Meanwhile. Japanese artillery and dive bombers hammered at troops in forward areas and in | various front and rear positions, including the beach defenses, in obvious preparation for another major assault. For the tenth consecutive day. night and dav air raids continued on the Manila bay harbor de fenses. Corregidor and the other outlying island fortifications en gaged in an artillery duel with enemy batteries on the bay’s south shore in Cavite Province. Bomb ers were forced by anti-aircraft fire to fly so high that their aim was inaccurate, the War Depart ment said, and little damage was inflicted by eitner bombing nor shelling. 2 -V City Briefs EXTINGUISH FIRE City tiremen extinguished a blaze in the two-story tranie dwelling of Janie B. Moore at “08 tTT>stnut street at 9:20 o’clock Thursday night. A few minutes later the fire depart ment put out a grass fire near the Community hospital. COURT OF HONOR April meeting of the Wilming ton Boy Scout District Court of Honor will be held Monday night at 8 o’clock in the New Hanover Superior court room. Applications for advancement must be in the local council headquarters, 502 Southern building, not later than noon Saturday, Scout Executive David L. Liles said. SUNRISE SERVICE A sunrise service will be held Sunday morning at 8 o’clock at the McClure Memorial Presby terian church at Castle Haynes. The Rev. C. C. Myers, pastor, will be in charge of the service “to. which the public is invited. NEED SUPERINTENDENTS Persons experienced as con struction superintendents are be ing sought for civil service jobs in the United States at salaries ranging from $3,200 to $6,500 a year, Secretary L. A. Beck of the local board of U. S. civil service examiners announced Thursday. GIVEN CONTINUANCE Samuel S. Brown, of 314 North Second street,1 charged with operating an automobile while under the influence of whiskey, was granted a week’s continu ance by Recorder Alton A. Len non when he appeared in court Thursday morning. WATCH AT THE CROSS Today from 12 noon to 3 p. m. there will be held a watch at-the-cross service at Grace Methodist church, corner Grace and Fourth streets. The people may come and go at will dur ing the three hour period. Sev en ministers of the city are taking part. The public is cor dially invited. MEETING POSTPONED The Junior Canteen class meeting scheduled to be held in the home demonstration’s office Saturday morning has been postponed, according to Miss Ann Mason. The class will meet Saturday, April 11. U. S. PLACES BAN ON BICYCLE SALES (Continued from Page One) building requirements and “the vital needs of the United Nations” would require virtually all the cop per available despite the fact that ‘‘supplies of the metqj have reached an all-time record.” Most of the copper available for civilian uses, Batt said in a state ment, will go into “behind the lines” uses which support the mili tary forces such as power lines, war materials plants, railroads and ma chine tools. Other sources said the copper pro gram for the third quarter—July, August and September, might be even- more drastic. As it stands, they said, the program means that virtually no copper at all will be available for civilian use other than the “behind the lines” activities mentioned by Batt. Official Of C. /. 0. In Illinois Resigns SPRINGFIELD, 111., Apr. 2—UP) —Ray Edmur.dscn, a close friend of John L. Lewis and Illincis pres ident of the United Mine Workers of America, resigned today as State Regional Director of the CIO. His action stimulated reports that Lewis and his mine workers may pull out of Ihe CIO. but Ed mundson declined to comment on them beyond saying: “Technically tee Illinois district No. 12 of the Unfed Mine Workers of America is still affiliated 'with the CIO” Edmundson made public a letter to CIO President Philip Murray in which he contended the policies of CIO leaders failed to further labor and national unity and the campaign to organize the unorgan ized He also commended the pro posal Lewis made early in the year for a reunion of labor’s forces— a proposal which attracted no sup port for Murray.
