The French population fought be side the blackened British raiders while intermittent explosions rock ed the occupied French port, the news service said. After the destroyer, one of those transferred in 1940 by U. S. to Britain, was firmly wedged like a massive time bomb against the gate, the Germans demanded that the two captured British officers accompany them on an inspection tour to prove no explosives were aboard. “The British officers immediate ly agreed,” the news agency said, “they accompanied a party of high C. Of C. Officials Aid In Drive To Dispel Talk On Closing Of Beaches Efforts of the local Chamber of Qommerce to dispel rumors that beaches in this area will be closed this summer are being aided by Chamber of Commerce officials throughout the state. Secretary John L. Morris said Tuesday. “Recently we asked the organi zations in this state to lend their cooperation in quieting the rumors, and many have gone to the extent of soliciting the help of newspapers in their respective cities. The re sponse of the chambers of com merce is extremely gratifying.” Mr. Morris remarked. It is timely to mention that 25 years ago, during the first World War, the railroads operating from the city and the Tide Water Pow er company decided to spend $1,000 or more in advertising all over the state to dispel rumors that Wri.ghtsvUle Beach would not open for the summer season. They also emphasized that rumors that the beach area would be blacked out were baseless. Now, a quarter of a century lat er, no money has been allotted to still the rumors, but cooperation is being lent by officials throughout North Carolina to advertise that the coastal resorts will be open. Rumors of the beach towns be ing blacked out are still baseless, though beach officials have gone to work and effected a “dim-out.” which is in cooperation with mili tary authorities so that the oril liant land lights will not silhouette ships at sea. When the vacationist comes to Carolina Beach this season, he will find it glamorized, rather than darkened by the dim-out of the midway and tne seven miles of ocean-front cottages. Blue lighting, instead of glaring neon, will be featured along the midway, bathers, boardwalk sti oil ers and buildings will take on a soft bluish tint and the wealth of activity, for which Carolina Bearh is famous, will move at the same gay pace it has for the past years. The war, too, shows strong indi cations of extending the normal beach season from three months to four or five. With so much work at hand, employes will stagger va cations. 180 Legal Maryland.

The heroic British officer and all the Germans who were aboard were killed instantly.” The account said the Germans seemed stunned when the British began landing. “The French population spon taneously left their houses and at tacked the Germans in the streets” said the correspondent’s account. Free French quarters previously have said that about 500 French-1 men were killed, including some executed by the Germans as a re prisal. “The Germans showed signs of panic,” the correspondent added. “They then were expecting a full scale British invasion and 2,000 of their sailors were immediately or dered to evacuate to the interior.” By 8 a. m. on . March 28 a tem porary calm had been restored, he said, and the Germans had suc ceeded in retaking the submarine base. “But at 7 p.m., the old entrance to the submarine base at which two delayed-action torpedoes had been fired the previous night blew up with a violent explosion. As though by prearranged signal, fighting immediately broke out be tween the Germans, who had com pletely lost their nerve, and the French population and commandos A series of small but furious bat tles were fought in the streets, cafes and private houses.” The hostilities continued over the week-end and only ended on Tues day, March 31. “The French population fought tigerishly with any arms on which they could lay their hands.” -v Rice Good After Long Burial Twelve grains of rice were found in a 1000-year-old statue being repaired at a temple in Shiga prefecture, Japan.

Pan-Americanism Should Begin At Home—Sanchez SAN ANTONIO, Tex., May 5—W) i —Pan-Americanism must begin at home, Prof. George I. Sanchez of the University of Texas declared today, asserting that “unjust treat ment of Spanish - speaking chil dren,” in some southwestern schools does “more harm to Pan Americanism than a shipload of Nazi agents.” Sanchez, professor of Latin American education, told the Na tional Congress of Parents and Teachers: “If we are interested in the Mexican across the border but not in the one across the tracks, then I don’t know what we are talking about.” He said “the social and economic problems of a democracy and be tween democracies are not solved by tije application of the concen fration camp idea, and the segre gation of children of Latin-Ameri can descent in some schools of the Southwest canr.ot be regarded as other than the infusion of an un democratic ‘ism’ to educational policy. . . . “Most of these schools simply inbreed the evils resulting from * ►-———-- - ■ -- the socio-economic insufficiency of their patrons and often serve to foster and promoter the caste sys tem and an un-Americanism orig inally created by a wage scale.’' Sanchez, who Is currently con ducting a survey of higher edu cation in Mexico for the Carnegie endowment, was optimistic that remedial measures would be ap plied. The first requirement of any remedy is an understanding of the 3.000. 000 Spanish-speaking people in the United States who trace their origins largely to Mexico, he said. “These people are, culturally, the personal representatives of the 120.000. 000 in the Latin-American republics. They represent to tis the first test of the good neighbor policy. “If we cannot successfully under stand, appreciate, and treat justly this group, it appears to me to be most presumptuous to assume that any collection of facts is going to make it possible for us to appre ciate, understand, and do justice to their Latin - American ‘rel atives.’ ’’ j SENTENCE METED IN 3RD TIRE CASE Howard Gets 15 Months, To Run Consecutively With Other Sentences D. C. Howard, manager of the Cape Fear Taxi company’s service station in Winter Park, was sen tenced to serve 15 months on the roads at a hearing in Recorder’* court Tuesday on a charge of lar ceny’ and receiving of an automobile tire which Sam Goforth identified as his property. Last Thursday’ afternoon, Howard pleaded guilty to two charges of tire theft and was sentenced to 14 months on the roads on each count. Recorder Ferguson ordered all three sentences to run consecutively to give Howard a total of 43 months on the roads. As in the first two cases, Howard gave notice of appeal to superior court and bond was set at $300. When superior court convene* next Monday, Howard will also face trial on charges of the theft of two automobiles, belonging to E. K. Mil ler and Dr. H. I£. Thompson. Ho waived preliminary hearings in recorder’s court last Thursday and was bound over under $1,000 bond in each case. Goforth, whose residence Is at 1113 Chestnut street, testified that a tire had been stolen from the trunk of his automobile and iden tified a tire shown him by Acting Solicitor Edgar L. Yow as the stolen one. Upon cross-examination by Solo mon Sternberger, Howard’s attor ney, Goforth said that he could not identify the tire by the serial num ber. He declared that he based hig identification on the make of the tire and of the fact that it had been worn peculiarly because the wheel on which it was mounted wag out of line. Harry E. Fales, superintendent of the city-county bureau of identifica tion, who swore out the warrant for Howard’s arrest, then told the court that Goforth had picked out -he tire from among 30 others in his office. Goforth was recalled to the stand and said that he examined the tire carefully when he removed It from the wheel and placed it .1 the trunk of the automobile just prior to its theft. ‘‘I sincerely believe it Is my tire,” he said. ‘‘Are you morally certain that is your tire?” Recorder Ferguson ask ed him. Upon Goforth’s reply that he was, the recorder found Howard guilty. Attorney Sternberger did not put his client on the stand nor offer any other witnesses. Other cases disposed of: George Troganos plead not guil ty to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon and was found guil ty and fined $25 and the costs. He took a 10-day stay of sentence and bond was set at $150. Alex Adams, negro, was granted a continuance until Thursday on a charge of reckless driving. According to arresting officers, Adams is alleged to have crashed into a fence at the intersection of Swann street and Brown’s Alley Monday afternoon, knocked the fence down, then crashed through the doors of a garage, knocked the rear of the garage out, tore down the porch of a residence and final ly halted amid the ruins of the porch after a set of concrete stairs had been smashed from their foun dation. Woodrow Thomas, cafe employe, was found not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon. James B. Schafer Is Sent To Prison NEW YORK, May5. —MV- De nounced by .the court as a "spiri tual faker and a religious hypo crite,” James B. Schafer, 41-year old leader and founder of the Royal Fraternity of Master Metaphysi cians, was sentenced today to from two and one-half to five years in Sing Sing prison. Schafer pleaded guilty March 24 to first degree larceny in the swindling of a woman follower of $39,000.
