May 5.—Colum bus county authorities last night and today have been maintaining a vigilant watch for some sign of Gascon Norris, 32 described as a very dangerous man following his escape late yesterday afternoon along with two others from an An son prison camp after overpower ing a guard. Norris was sentenced to a maxi mum of 50 years in the State Pris on in February 1940 for the double slaying of Frank McPherson and Garland Burroughs at the filling station of the latter on the afternoon of December 5, 1939. The double slaying occurred in the Lebanon section nine miles south of here. Last night upon being notified of the escape by prison authorities in Raleigh Columbus authorities went to the Beaverdam section of this county where Norris lived at the time of the double murder but found no trace of the man. Prison authorities believe that Norris may come to Columbus county. According to the statement is Evangelist Lamb To Preach Tonight The subject for tonight’s sermon at the Gospel Tent at 1014 south Fourth street will be “The Per verted Picture of Life.” Evangelist Mack M. McLamb of Bishopville, S. C. is preaching each night this week at 8 o’clock. Mr. McLamb spoke last night on “The Sayings on the Cross,” and con cerning the sermon subject for to night he said, “The world has a perverted picture of what, jeal life is, and of the things which go to make life. Jesus has revealed to us the secret of true happiness and security and out of Him no such things exist.” -V MORTGAGE SUIT IS FILED HERE Building And Loan Seeks To Recover House And Lot From L. E.

Concentrate On Winning The War, Colucci Urges “The business men of the coun try should drop the idea of making a profit from the war, and con centrate on winning it”, declared John Colucci, owner of the South ern Box and Lumber company here at the meeting of the Rotary club Tuesday. “If we lose the war, all our profits will be taken by the con queror, and if we win, then we can all go back to making a profit,” he continued. Ben F. Sutherland, manager of the Armour Fertilizer company here was also a guest speaker at the club’s luncheon. The program was arranged by T. D. Love, Jr., and was on the subject, “How the War Has Affected Business.” “The agricultural situation has now reached a point where arti ficial fertilization is necessary in order to sustain life,” he said. Mr. Sutherland pointed out that before World War I the potash in dustry was confined to the Ger Ruptured Men Get $3,50 Truss Free Pay No Money—Now or Ever For This Truss Kansas City, Mo. — A Doctor’s Invention for reducible rupture is proving so successful, an offer is now being made to give everyone svho tries it a $3.50 Truss Free.

In the period following the first world conflict, American industries have perfected the process of obtaining potash to a point where the coun try now has all it needs in time of war or peace. “We also have all the nitrates we need for the war effort,” he said, but the large problem is that of obtaining transportation for them.” “Agriculture is suffering during the war, due to the government’s stoppage of many vital materials, but they cannot afford to take a chance on a shortage in a critical time.” “We’ll just have to do the best we can until it’s over,” he continued. “From the processes now being evolved, there will be an abun dance of all materials after the war.” “It may surprise some of you, but there are thousands of con scientious objectors in the nation” declared Warren S. Johnson, pres ident of the People’s Savings Bank here, following Mr. Suther land’s talk. “At the present time there is more than $2,000,000,000 in cash hoarded by citizens of this coun try”, he revealed. “Those hoarders constitute ‘con scientious objectors” in my opin ion, he said. “Before the war, banking and the government were not in ac cord, but following the invasion of the low countries on May 10, 1940, the banking industry agreed to back the government 100 per cent in its undertakings,” he said. Mr. MacMahon, of the North Carolina Shipbuilding company, re viewed the work of the USO and asked the members of Rotary to keep an open mind to the ac tivity of the organization. Following his comments, Ben Sutherland added, "Marriage isn’t perfect, but its the best thing work- i ed out so far—that applies to the USO, it’s just the best so far.” I NAVY RELIEF FUND HERE IS GROWING Total Of $2,805 Contrib uted Toward Local Goal Of $5,000 More than $2,805 had been con tributed Tuesday night in Wilming ton’s Natal Relief society fund drive, campaign officials an nounced. Thus the $5,000 quota set for Wii jjmington and New Hanover county has gone a trifle beyond the half way point. But the committee emphasized that while there is encouragement in this fact, it is always the last half of a race that is hardest. Work ers Were urged to redouble their efforts during the remaining days of the drive, and the public was asked, as a matter of civic pride no less than because the cause is righteous, to contribute, liberally. W. W. Storm and Holmes Davis, Jr., reported that sales of the special emblem, obtainable at $1.25 each, are going nicely, but said they were disappointed to see so many men and women still not wearing them. Disappointment was voiced by A1 Jones and \V. W. Gayer, in charge of the Lumina dance on Friday night, that tickets had not gone faster. They emphasized that pat rons will not be giving a penny as an outright donation but will en joy an exceptionally fine evening of entertainment, so that what they spend for tickets will in fact be an investment. Warren Johnson and F. P. O’Crowley, charged with general contributions, also felt the response has not been all that it should be. All sub-chairmen dw'elt on the necessity of driving hard in these closing days of the crusade, so that the full quota may be raised and hopefully topped by Friday night. Co-Chairman Storer P. Ware an nounced that the concert by the navy band at the shipyard will be given from 12:15 to 12:45 noon on Friday, shortly after the musicians arrive from Charleston. The band will be quartered at the USO rec reation center at Second and Orange, through the cooperation of the management, and meals will be furnished by the Friendly Cafeteria. Two more places of business have been added to the list where dance tickets may be bought. They are the Cape Fear Bowling club and the Wilmington Cigar Store. -V Mother’s Day Quiz Will Be Conducted A mother’s day quiz will be held Friday evening, May 8, at 8 p. m. in connection with the weekly movie program at the USO club at Second and Orange streets. Winner of first prize will have the privilege of telegraphing flow ers to his mother at the expense of USO. Winner of second prjze can word his own telegram mes sage to his mother. Movies at the program will be a short film on sports and a comedy short. -V VICHY REJECTS AMERICA’S WARNING (Continued From Page One) warning that resistance against the occupation of Madagascar would be considered “as an attack di rected against the United Nations.” Notes With “Regret” The French note said the Vichy government “rejects as inadmis sable the pretense to forbid the French government to defend its territory” and “raises the most en ergetic protest against this aggres sion.” Noting with “regret” that the United jStates approved Britain’s action, the French government said it “cannot but leave to presi dent Roosevelt the part of respon sibility which will fall on him the consequences which would result from this aggression.” Before reading the Ameerican and French notes to a press con ference Laval said he had told S. Pinckney Tuck, United States charge d’affaires, in an interview this morning: “I could add considerations of a sentimental character. I know they are in the hearts of Frenchmen and Americans who remember this history. “You were present the other day at my interview with Admiral Leahy (departing United States ambassador). I repeat to you that no definite act between our two countries will come from France.” French official sources said, "never has Japan made any re quests concerning Madagascar, either from the diplomatic or mili tary view point.” Declaring that when Japan want ed bases in Indo-China, she opened negotiations, this source said, “in this case France is faced with ag gression which was preceded by no negotiations whatsoever.” Paul Marion, Secretary of State for inofrmation. made public the telegram (from Governor - General Annet which contained the first news of the British attack. “Diego Suarez attacked by large air force,” it said. “Size of attack ing naval forces unknown. English ultimatum at 7 o’clock this morn ing demanded unconditional sur render. Answer: “Will defend our selves to very end.” 3 ARMY OF 6,000,000 MEN SEEN IN UNITED STATES (Continued From Page One) whom they may or may not use. “Don’t sabotage the whole ef fort by putting us in a strait jacket,” he added. The present policy, he ex plained, is to give commissions in combat services and other branches in w’hich military functions are involved only to men who come up from the ranks or have attended train ing schools. In exceptional cases, he said, commissions are given to civilians who had soldier’s experience in the last war. -V About 6000 French prisoners are confined in French Guiana. Swapping Of Surplus Food For Children Is Being Considered WASHINGTON. May 5.—(A*—'The possibility of governments swap ping surplus food stuffs in the Western hemisphere for the bene fit of children was discussed today at the eight Pan American child congress. Mordecai Ezekiel, economic ad viser to the Secretary of Agricul ture, told delegates from 21 Ameri can republics about present pro grams of stimulating food con sumption and production in the United States. These programs include, he ex plained, direct free distribution of surplus products to relief clients, the food stamp plan, school lunches, “nickel-a-quart” milk pro grams for relief families and “pen-j ny-a-glass” milk for school chil dren. “Eight million relief clients and six million school children are now having their diets supplemented through these programs,” he said.
