C The uniform is distinctive in its make-up. featuring a broad light blue stnpe running the length of ,L outseam of the trousers, and a ,.ev shirt with a large red “W” encircled by "Wilmington Police” on the sleeve. The military police officially donned summer uniforms during the past week, with a tan sun hel met as its distinguishing feature.

In the past, the regulation win ier uniform was modified to sum mer use bv the discarding of the blue serge coat. _V REDS PENETRATE GERMAN POSITIONS (Continued From Page One) blows at the Germans southwest of Kharkov in an effort to fore stall any German offensive toward tiie Caucasus. Fighting was to be progressing along a line from Poltava to Dnieperopetrovsk. and in their present positions the Rus sians were in an ideal spot from which to flank any German at tempt to use Kharkov for a spring board for a southern drive. Guerrillas, continuing to soften up the German positions in front of the Red regulars, were report ed in a Moscow broadcast to have killed 5.000 Germans and recap tured 345 villages northwest of Orel in an unspecified time. The Soviet information bureau said the Soviet forces on the north ern front at Leningrad were killing Germans at a rate of 1,000 a day, and had pulverized 20 enemy fir ing positions, capturing guns and ■ anks. while four infantry com panies were wiped out in another .ector. 4 -V NYE DEATH PROBE ASKED BY FAMILY (Continued From Page One) r4 Dr. Floyd Johnson, county health ■ fficer, to examine it to determine whether or not there was any foul play and to report his findings at the inquest, which has been set for 10 o’clock Sunday morning.

Rose Ice & Coal Co. ^ s 12th Dial 6974 Total Of 1,782 Job Placements Made By Employment Service During the first quarter of 1942, a total of 1,782 different persons were placed on jobs by the U. S Employment Service, Manager Maurice H. Moore announced yes terday. Of this number, 57 workers were veterans of World War No. 1. A few of the persons were placed at work more than once during the first four months, sometimes be cause they were given temporary jobs, he explained. Most of the placements were of a diversified nature and the open ings were in many jobs. At present the service has a great number of orders for skilled workers, in both private and defense work, through out North Carolina and the South ern states, Mr. Moore said. “It is our observation that all skilled persons are not being util ized and we are urging that they register in order that their serv ices may become available to those employers needing them. The main office is at 111 Grace street, and the negro divisional of fice at 519 Red Cross street,” he remarked. During April, the Employment Service sent 458 persons to em ployers, 239 being white and 219 colored. There were 582 new ap plications for work and 536 renew als of former registrations last month. The active file of applicants at the end of the month was 2,403, who are registered and available for work. 2 FILTERATION PLANT BID OPENING SET (Continued From Page One) works improvement program was financed by a $525,000 municipal bond issued, approved last Decem ber, which represented 40 per cent of the total cost with the Fedral Works Agency furnishing the re mainder. However, the tenative decision of the city council to attempt to establish a salt-free water supply above U. S. Lock and Dam No. 1 at King’s Bluff and a 22-mile pipe line from the dam to the filtration plant at Hilton increased original estimates and a request for ad ditional FWA funds is still pending. Bids for the construction of two 75,000,000-gallon steel storage tanks to provide a pressure reserve for the city’s water system were re ceived by the city several weeks ago but the city has yet to obtain priorities for the steel for the tanks. GIRAUD CENTER OF DISPUTE BETWEEN VICHY AND NAZIS (Continued From Page One) Koenigstein late last month and made his way to the capital of unoccupied France by way of Swit zerland. Well-posted European sources said they believed Giraud had met with important military and po litical personages at a point out side of Vichy, that discussions re garding his return to German cus tody had struck a snag and that he was brought back immediately to the point outside Vichy. In the first World War Giraud made six breaks from German prison camps, was recaptured five times but made good his sixth try. His latest escape was made after one other attempt in this war, re ports reaching London said, but de tails were lacking. He had been in German custody since mid-May, 1940, when he was captured on his way to take over his new headquarters as com mander-in-chief of the first French army on the northern front. 2 JAPS STRIKINGAT YUNAN FRONTIER ARE DRIVEN BACK (Continued From Page One) Chinese also had attacked a col umn thrust north past Loilem, some 50 miles east of Gaungyyi. SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.— <A>) — The main body of a Japanese Invad ing force in South Honan Province has been encircled by Chinese troops, the Chungking radio reported to day. The broadcast recorded by CBS follows: “According to field dispatches, the main body of the Japanese, force engaged in a northwestward drive from Hsinyang, strategic railway town in South Honan, has been en circled by the Chinese north of Shenyangtai. “Other Japanese units cut off by Chinese frontal attacks at Ningkang, and by a flanking attack at Hsiang Chi have been forced to retreat in tw'o columns in a southern direction. U. S. TROOPS HELP BRITISH IN DESERT (Continued From Page One) their allies would “get the most out of our equipment.” Construction of the great U. S. built arsenal in Eritrea on t h e Red sea is “well under way,” Gen. Maxwell said. He added that it was hoped operations would start there before long. _ iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiii •> SUNDAY ONLY KAY KYSER in "YOU'LL FIND OUT" With Ginny Simms, Harry Bab bitt, Ish Kabibble, Sully Mason Feature Sunday: 2:49 - 5:00 7:12 - 9:24 LATEST UNIVERSAL.

This will undoubtedly call for fewer trains in some ter ritories and districts, and perhaps the complete elimination of trains used for pleasure and other non essential travel. Lengthened fast run schedules with more stops will make it possible to take care of points formerly served by motor bus or by local trains. “Where train service is discon tinued, the affected communities must be served by bus. Thus the general rearrangement of passen ger transportation, which must be undertaken at once, necessarily in volves close coordination of rail road and motor bus facilities in order to make the buses avail able for effective local service.” 2 -V Maine’s 1939 tuberculosos death rate was 29.9 per 100,000 of the population.
