DEALS COMPLETED FOR AIRPORT LAND (Continued from Pag:e One) perty Mrs. Meta Michaelis allow ed the group to meet in a store building for two years.

Atlanta _ SI 62 1.50 Boston _ 75 60 0.00 Chicago _ 54 40 0.00 Cleveland _ 67 51 0.00 Denver_ 74 36 0.00 El Paso _ 88 47 0.00 Kansas City_ 64 36 0.00 Little Rock_ 70 50 0.00 Memphis _ 71 55 0.00 Miami _ 82 72 0.00 Mobile _ 81 66 0.00 New York_ 81 59 0.00 Pittsburgh _ 68 60 0.00 Richmond- 87 87 0.00 St. Louis- 43 44 0.00 Washington _ 79 65 0.92 Wilmington _ 78 66 0.00 -V EXTINCTION EXPLAINED Scientists say that dinosaurs be came extinct because “land areas gradually arose, drained the swamps and lowlands, and depriv ed the dinosaurs of their food sup ply.” GERMAN NAVAL BASES BLASTED (Continued from Page One) bombs when United States Admiral Harold R. Stark, commanding the U. S. naval forces in European waters, stressed American and Bri tish concern with undersea attacks in a talk to the press in London. Despite bad weather over Ger many, Hamburg was bombed in what one source called “consider able weight.” Pilots said they saw large fires in docks and shipyards as they left. Bomber crews participating in the Kristiansand attack watched bombs exploding in barracks, ships and what probably was an am munition dump. Six fires were vis ible for 50 miles. The Island of Oderoen also was attacked. The RAF lost five aircraft in those early raids, but British anti aircraft guns and night fighers de fending the home territory account ed for five of about 30 German bombers which attacked Exeter. “Fly Cops,” which waylay re turning German planes, shot down two more night raiders as they winged home to their bases in northern France. The Germans gave Exeter a heavy bombing. The city suffered considerable damage and casual ties. During the day a town on the southwest coast was bombed and machine-gunned. (The German high command stated that Hastings, another his toric British city, had been bomb ed Sunday, this in apparent con tinuation of the “Baedeker raids” against centers of British tradi tion. ) The German losses for the last two weeks were 35 certain and air sources said probably 10 more crashed before landing. “The German air force losses are around 15 per cent,” one air source said. “It is difficult to see how raiding can be maintained at this rate of loss unless Reich smar shal Goering shifts bombers from the Mediterranean, Libyan or Rus sian fronts to strengthen the bomb er squadrons of Marshal Sperrle’s Third air fleet in Western Europe” LIST OF NAVY’S DEAD ANNOUNCED (Continued from Pag:e One) Md., which had been omitted orig inally by error, was added to the lists of Maryland and Georgia, the latter being his native state. Wil cox was lost overboard at sea dur ing heavy weather early last month. Others included on the list were Captain Franklin Van Valkenburgh of Long Beach, Calif., and Captain Mervyn S. Bennion of Salt Lake City, Utah, who died at Pearl Harbor, December 7, on the bridges of the battleships they commanded; Rear Admiral Isaac Campbell Kidd of Annapolis, Md., who was killed at Pearl Harbor aboard his flagship, and Lieuten ant John M. Bermingham of New York City, captain of the destroy er Peary, which was bombed and sunk in harbor at Darwin, Aus tralia. Most of the 2,991 officers and men who made up the list of heroic dead lost their lives in action with the enemy, although some were killed in accidents at sea or in the air while on duty directly connect ed with wartime operations. The list of dead is the first to be made public covering Navy, Ma rine and Coast Guard casualties for the period December 7-April 15. A list of 2,495 missing is ex pected to be given out shortly and a list of 907 wounded will follow that. 3 IJOIIE "WHITE PETROLEUM JELLY FOR MINOR cuts cESsa 1 BURN5.BRUISESlftffif3 CHAFING Wiiyg E i NIAL MAY HEAD STATE ALUMNI New Yorker Nominated; Election To Take Place On Saturday RALEIGH, N.
