R BOND DRIVE IS INCHED MONDAY Wilmington women’s organiza tions Monday morning launched a city-wide War Bond Pledge cam paign in an effort to reach a quota of $185,700 -in war bond purchases during May. The drive began at 9 o’clock and workers left the headquarters bent on obtaining a voluntary pledge of every citizen to devote a set amount of his or her earnings to the purchase of war savings bonds. Though the May quota is an in crease of $50,000 over the average monthly sale of bonds here from last July through January, it is expected that Wilmingtonians will lend their cooperation to the first nation-wide drive to place the pur chase of war bonds on a system atic basis, and pledge to buy bonds continuously and systematically.

A Vichy com munique was Issued after this meeting had raised misgivings in Allied capitals, saying that no po litical or diplomatic problems were raised during these meetings. Three days ago, two French cruisers and a submarine tender arrived at the Madagascar naval station of Diego Suarez. The joint communique of the Admiralty and War Office, an nouncing the action, said: Madagascar lies athwart all the Indian ocean shipping lanes, and in enemy hands would be a power ful sea and air base to cut off Allied supplies to Russia, via the Persian gulf, as well as to throttle Britain’s own supply lines to the fighting fronts. The island is nearly a thousand miles long and could be a threat to the union of South Africa, which already has broken off relations with Vichy, to the British colonies farther north on the African main land, above Mozambique, and to Mauritius, Britain’s mid-o c e a n base lying to the east of Madagas car. The French naval station Diego Suarez is at the northern end of the • island and there is another naval base at Majunga on the northwest coast. Pointing out that the island could be used as a springboard for an air arid seaborne invasion of the African continent, Reuters’ naval correspondent wrote that “f o r months Japan has secretly plotted to seize this French possession.” In addition to serving as a base to cut off Allied supply lines to Russia, China and the Middle East Madagascar could also have served as a port of call for Japanese ships carrying vital war supplies from Japan’s newly conquered territo ries in the Wast to Germany, the Reuters correspondent p o i nt e d out. Could Supply jermany "Lord Selbourne, minister of eco nomic warfare, has stated that with long-range cargo ships the Japanese could supply Germany,” he wrote. London circles declared immediate ly that the British move was in line with President Roosevelt's warning in his broadcast a week ago that "the United Nations will take mea sures if necessary to prevent the use of French territory in any part of the world for military purposes by the Axis.” It was also considered significant here that the Axis radio Monday re ported two United States battleships in the Indian ocean. Responsible quarters in London re garded the operation against the is land as one essentially planned by the United States as a whole al though it apparently was carried out by British forces alone. It was felt in these quarters that news of the action would “cause the liveliest satisfaction in the United States as well as in Great Britain.” One London source said: "The news of that operation is marvel ous.” Only yesterday the Japanese Axis coordinators to Berlin and Rome were received in Vichy by Pierre La val and Admiral Darlan. While it was announced officially that the Japanese Vice-Admiral Naokuni No mura and Rear Admiral Abe were “just passing through” Vichy, some sources here wondered if their pres ence there had not quickened the United Nations’ decision to take over the island. It appeared to these observers that the United Nations had wrested the initiative from the Japanese on this front. “The fears that Tokyo, having forced the British and Chinese to retreat in Burma, would bypass In dia and carry the threat direct to the African continent were rein forced by the installation of Laval at the head of affairs in Vichy and memories of the Indo-China sell out,’’ one of the observers said. The British remembered well the Indo-China affair and it has been evident for weeks that Madagascar presented a strategic problem of the first magnitude. There have been fears that Laval might find a pre text to allow Japanese land forces to "protect" the island. In addition to anti-British broad casts from Madagascar, the Paris radio has been speaking recently of an Anglo-Saxon campaign for im mediate occupation of the island. The French cruisers Montcalm and Marseillaise and the submarine tend er Jules Verne were reported to hit^ arrived at the island three days ago and Vichy made the explanation they were to keep ’the island out of foreign hands. IJ. S. IN ACCORD WASHINGTON, May 4.—» -The British, stealing a march on the Japanese, have occupied the great island of Madagascar athwart vi tal Allied supply lines in the Indian ocean, and the United Slates serv ed formal notice tonight that, if necessary, American forces will help defend it against all comers. The move, announced here and in London, marked a perhaps his toric change in a match of events which has seen the Axis get the jump, in virtually all other in stances, on its foes. A formal statement from the State department declared that the coup by the British had the “full approval and support of the United States,” since there was definite danger that Axis powers, especially Japan, would seize the island. Bluntly, the statement warned the Vichy regime of France not to permit any warlike 'act against the occupying forces. After stating that the island would be held in trust for France, it said that “any warlike act per mitted by the French government against the government of Great Britain or the government of the United States would, of necessity, have to lie regarded by the govern ment of the United States as an WILMINGTON HAS TWO CASUALTIES Two Local Boys Among Those Announced Lost In Naval Action Names or two Wilmingtonians— Clyde Carson Moore and Harvey Howard Horrell—last night were on the first Navy department casualty list to be issued since the outbreak of vfir. Both were killed in action on December 7. Horrell, who served approximate ly 12 years in the Navy, was serv ing on an unidentified battleship as a second class radioman. His moth er, Mrs. Maggie J. Horrell, lives at 914 North Fourth street. A native of Wrlghtsboro and a graduate of New Hanover High school here, Moore had served in the Navy since 1939 and was a first class signalman. He was 22-years old and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Maie Moore of 215 Queen street. -V Obituaries DONALD A. SOUTHERLAND Funeral services for Donald A.

N., instructor, announced today. All planning to attend are asked to bring triangular bandages on the opening day. attack upon the United Nations as a whole.” At another point, the statement said that “the government of the United States is at war with the Axis powers and if it becomes nec essary or desirable for American troops or ships to use Madagascar in the common cause, the United States will not hesitate to do so at any time.” While a communique issued in Iaondon said merely that a com bined British Naval and military force had arrived off the island at dawn this morning, the State de partment went further and said President Roosevelt had received word that the occupation actually had taken place. There had been considerable speculation over the reported pres ence of a Japanese military mis sion in the island, fourth largest in the world. In the past, Japanese missions have sometimes been the precursors to invasion. Lying in the Indian ocean oppo site Portuguese Mozambique on the African east coast and sheltering the 250 - mile wide Mozambique channel, Madagascar stands near the cape route sea lanes to all the Indian ocean ports. Thus, in enemy hands, it would be a possibly fatal menace to the eastward movement of troops and material to Australia, India, all the middle east, and even Russia; and it would be an offensive threat to Africa itself. Ambassador Gaston Henry-Haye the Vichy representative at Wash ington, said he was notified prior to the London and Washington an nouncements of the action taken at Madagascar. An aide to the ambassador said that he was informed that Presi dent Roosevelt requested that he call at the State department. There the ambassador was informed bf the action at about 8:30 p. m., eastern war time. The preliminary notification, the aide said, was a “gesture of cour tesy” by the President to the am bassador. 3 WPB AIMS NEW BLOW AT HOMES (Continued from Page One) order to convert materials, ma chines and manpower to war work. Effective after midnight tonight, the decree climaxed a series of stop-orders covering automobiles, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, typewriters and other art icles whose output was ordered sus pended in the interest of a “sound but lean” civilian economy for the war’s duration. Even some items customarily used by the armed forces must go out of production after the 90-day deadline. The order affects not only man ufacturing plants, but wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and the con suming public, who are forbidden to receive articles known to have been made or delivered in viola tion of the order. Administration of the order will be in New York City instead of Washington, in line with WPB’s policy of decentralization. Admin istrative offices already have been established there. A new system of appeals was set up, providing that they should be filed with the field office of WPB instead of the agency’s Wash ington headquarters. Appeals ad dressed to Washington or made otherwise than on specially pre scribed forms will not be consider ed, WPB said. Manufacturers were given 15 days to deliver or accept delivery of iron and steel for the products listed. For 45 days they may pro cess iron and steel up to an ag gregate weight of 75 per cent of the average monthly weight of all metals used by each manufacturer in 1941. This processing must be com pleted within the 45 days, and as sembly of the items must be com pleted within the next 45 days. Housewives and glamour girls alike will feel effects of the order when production ceases on a va riety of beauty aids and kitchen equipment, and when existing stocks disappear from dealer’s shelves. On the banned list are toilet sets, compacts, hair curlers and dryers, jewelry, lipstick holders, manicure implements, perfume atomizers, and purse and handbag frames. Kitchen articles appearing on the list include teapots, cutlery, bis cuit boxes, bread racks, butter chips, butter knives, dinner bells, dishwashing machines, cake cut ters, stainless steel kitchenware, and candy dishes. Other household articles men tioned were beds and bed spring frames except for hospitals, awn i&3 frames, attic fans, bird cages clothesline pulleys, coal chutes, door knockers and chimes, drain boards, drawer pulls, fire place equipment and screens, flower box es, iron and steel furniture, grass shears, lawn sprinklers, and laundry chutes. Sporting and athletic goods gen erally were named, with the fol lowing items specifically mention ed: roller and ice skates, ski racks, croquet sets, BB shot for air rifles, roller coasters and amusement park devices. The business office will feel the pinch because of prohibitions af fecting air conditioning systems (except for hospital operating rooms and industrial plants), au tomatic pencils, cash registers and cash boxes, and various machinery for making change, cancelling checks, numbering checks, en velope handling, and stamping and check writing. The agriculturalist will have to do without iron and steel wheel barrows, work benches, chick feed ers, cattle stanchions, fence posts, poultry incubator cabinets, and tanks for dipping, watering and feeding animals. For the country club set to worry about were stop-orders on cocktail shakers, whiskey service sets, wine coolers, bottle holders, and other items. Other prohibitions ranged from casket hardware to escalators to voting machines and parking me ters. About 140 of the articles are named on a supplementary list, and these may be processed and assembled on Army, Navy, or Mar itime commission orders without restriction for the time being. At the end of the 90-day period even such military output must cease, but a third list now being prepared will name military ar ticles to be exempted permanent ly from the stop-order. Special restrictions were set up for roofing and siding,. the output of which was restricted for the rest of this year to .20 per cent of the production of each manu facturer in 1940. In subsequent years 25 per cent output will be permitted. Roofing and siding may be made for the Army, Navy, Maritime commission and certain other fed eral agencies on high priority ratings, for defense housing, for the manufacture of freight cars street cars, trucks, or buses, or for maintenance and repair pur poses on an unrestricted basis -v Mysterious Epidemic Of Poisoning Probed SAN FRANCISCO, May 4 — A mysterious epidemic of food poisoning swept San Francisco hos pital over the week-end, affecting about 200 patients, Dr. L. M. Wil bor, superintendent of the city owned institution, reported today. Most of them are completely recovered from the effects,” Dr. Wilbor reported, “and aU the oth ers are much better.” City Briefs NO INDICATION Registration of people for su gar War Ration Book No. 1, which is being held this week, will hot indicate the number of persons living in New Han over county, County Superin tendent of Schools H. M. Ro land said Monday. Mr. Roland said it would be impossible to determine the population of the county in this method since “many people are not going to register.” RECKLESS OPERATION After his car had torn down a fence, run through agarage— a fence, run through a garage— tearing the doors off and building—wrecked a porch and landed against a concrete stoop, Alex Adams, of 1306 North Sixth, was arrested by Police Officer L. A. Teague on charges of reckless opera tion with damages and opera tion of an automobile without a driver’s permit. The accident occurred about 5:50 Monday afternoon when the car hit the fence at Swan street and Brown’s alley and finally the porch to a house at 1103 Brown’s alley. Adams was placed under $500 bond. WATCH LOST Mrs. J. K. Paul, of 127 Colo nial Drive, told police Monday that she lost a yellow gold watch, valued at S125, Friday in the down-town section. IT WASN’T LOADED Eugene Janies, of 1116 Chest nut street, was playing with an “unloaded” pistol at 4:15 Mon day afternoon at Eleventh and Orange streets. He pulled the trigger and shot himself through the left hand. James told police that he didn’t know the pistol was loaded and also said he did not know the owner of it. MISSING PERSON Mrs. Earnest Turlington, of 313 Chestnut street, reported to police at 6:25 Monday even ing that her husband left her at the residence at 7:45 Fri day evening and that he had not been seen since.

Foy, who operates a store at 714 North Third street, told police early Monday after noon that S185 was taken from his shirt pocket while he was in the store. TIRE, WHEEL STOLEN An automobile tire and wheel were stolen from his ear some time Sunday night while it was parked in his yard at 1415 South Third street, Artis Joy report ed to police Monday night. COMMISSIONERS AID When Register of Deeds Adrian R. Rhodes inquired of the county commission what to do when a young man, who needs a birth certificate to join the armed forces, doesn't have the money to pay for it, the commissioners had an answer. Each agreed to pay a share of the total amount due the coun ty each month for certificates issued boys who were unable to pay for them and wanted to join the armed forces. Mr. Rhodes estimated that the total would be approximately $11 per month. SERIAL NUMBERS “Serial numbers for automo bile tires are coming in at a fair rate now,” Harry E. Fales, superintendent of the New Han over Bureau of Identification, said Monday, “but we want peo ple to continue sending them for our file until we have all of them because we can’t help the public much unless we get cooperation.” Mr. Fales urged that persons not only send serial numbers for their automobile tires, but for anything which has an identifying mark such as bicycles, shotguns, pistols radiSs and sewing machines. He said lie had a tire and wheel, still unidentified, in Ills office. The tire and wheel were found a few days ago and brought to Ills of fice.

IT WILL BE DIFFERENT NOW The United States exported 112,111 rubber water bottles and syringes, and 11,807 dozen bathing caps during the first three months of 1941. TODAY and TOMORROW (Continued From Page One) trate our shipping and our naval forces so that the British reserves of air power grow larger and not smaller as the great aerial strug gle rises to its crisis. * * * It would be a grievous mistake to think that diplomacy has no part in this year’s campaign. There are now three fronts in the European war—the eastern, the Mediterra nean and the incipient western. On all of them diplomacy has much to do, and under no circumstances must the whole burden of the struggle be placed on the fighting men. Under no circumstances must we be terrified into diplomat ic inaction, by morbid anxiety, or by a feeling of moral inferiority that only the enemy knows how to conduct political warfare. For it is evident that in the west of Furope — that is to say, in France, Italy and Spain—political action predominates over military. None of the three greaat Latin na tions ife a seriously active belliger ent. All of them are torn within themselves by the fact that the of ficial policy is contrary to the in stinct and will of the people. All of them have divergent interests. Yet, since nonei of them is a free and independent state, all have a para mount common interest in regain ing their national independence. It is not necessary, therefore, to pay any attention to reports of pop ular unrest in Italy and France in order to know that these two na tions must move away from Berlin as the Nazi power weakens. This means a great deal. It means that the tendency of the Axis coalition is to dissolve under the pressure of the natural and permanent in terests of the nations that are now entangled in it. Our diplomacy, then, has a clear field in which to operate because what we want from the French, the Italians and the Spaniards is only what they want for themselves. If we had to persuade them to violate and sacrifice their real interests, we should surely fail unless we learned how to use lies, corruption and terrorism as Hitler has used them. But all that any of the Unit ed Nations wants of the Latin pow ers is that they should be indepen dent and their people free accord ing to their own national concep tions of freedom. Therefore, we can and should continue to have politi£al relations with them, what ever happens in regard to ambas sadors and the formalities. The fact that Italy may not now be ready or able to enter, into peace negotiations with us should not, I believe, deter us from pro posing peace seriously, concretely, and sincerely to Italy. The fact that Mussolini will reject it should mean nothing to us since we should make it plain that, of course, we are not' offering peace to Mussolini and never shall. For Mussolini is the man who stabbed France, Al bania, Yugoslavia and Greece in the back and sold his country to the Nazis. The fact is, however, that Musso lini is not Italy. There remains in Italy the King and the dynasty. There remains an army which is not blackshirt; there remains the Holy See. Unlike Germany, wherp all the ancient institutions of the state are badly ruined, the essen tial institutions of Italy have sur vived. A peace can, therefore, be negotiated, and eventually it will be. The Italian people have amends to make to the Greeks and to the Yugoslavs for the crimes commit ted in their name, and by making amends they will restore their hon or. But otherwise there is no un bridgeable gulf between the Ital ians and their present enemies, and there are besides ancient bonds of friendship and of interest. We know quite well why the Ital ians have not fought well in this war, that their hearts have not been in it. We know too, that the natural destiny of Italy is not be be the vassal of her traditional enemy north of the Alps but to be a power in the Mediterranean. Nei ther Great Britain, nor Russia, nor America has any interest in deny ing to Italy a leading place in the Mediterranean world, and to an Italy which has rid itself of Musso lini and his Nazi connections they would have every interest in as suring that leading place. They would, moreover, be bound in their own interest to open up to Italy relief and the means of reconstruction. For the Italy with which we can, and in the end will, make peace must become strong in order to assure its internal peace and its national independence. * * * Our proposals to Italy will make it plainer to M. Laval that his am bition is quite clearly understood; that what he is seeking to do is to make France the instrument of Nazi power over the Latin and Mediterranean world. His unmis takable purpose is to substitute himself for Mussolini—to change the Kome-Berlin Axis into a Vichy Berlin Axis, and then, backed by the Nazi power, to dominate the whole western Mediterranean—It aly, Spain and North Africa. This plan, if it succeeded, would be as destructive to Italy and Spain as it is to France herself. For as France finally lost her independ ence, the two other Latin nations )vould also lose theirs. A N a z i France would place Hitler in full control of the Mediterranean world. Spain would be helpless and Italy would not only be threatened from across the Alps but actually ClflAI irritations of OIVin EXTERNAL CAUSE acne pimples, bumps (blackheads), and ugiy broken-out skin.
