"The Bluebell” and "Bird Calls" and the second "Largo” and the “Anvil Chorus.” Between the two groups Miss Mar that Lohr, talented daughter of Pro fessor and Mrs. B. P,. Lohr, enter tained most graciously with a violin solo. "Marguerite Waltz.” For their contribution tc the pro gram of the evening, pupils of the Seventh grades rendered two delight ful numbers, "Passing By " and Vic tor Herbert's “My Little Gypsy Sweetheart.” The latter was well handled by the group of mixed voices and the large crowd gener ously applauded the fine effort. Highlights of the evening were solos by Martha Joyce Ptoss and Shirley Hurwitz.

May 16.— VP) — Public and official opinion appeared to be aligned on a solid front today in demanding drastic measures, even a declaration o' war. to obtain satisfaction for the Axis torpedoing of the Mexican tanker Potrero Del Llano off Miami Reach.- Fla., Wed nesday right. i Former President Emilio Portes Gil declared the government's “energetic and patriotic attitude” in demanding “complete satisfac tion" from the totalitarian nations for loss of the 7.500-ton vessel de served “the most ample support of the Mexican people in the difficult days just ahead.” Practically every important labor organization, led by the powerful CTM. has demanded war on the Axis or other firm steps to uphold national honor and avenge the deaths of 14 seamen. There also were suggestions for confiscation of Axis property in Mexico, which the afternoon paper Ultimas Xoticias estimated was worth $985,1)00,000. The government paper El Xacional in a front-page editorial described the sinking as a cr'me which "has shaken the nation to its deepest fibers" and said that whatever the cost in more ships sunk and lives lost, "the rights and honor of Mexico must be respected before anything else.” The pro-Allied paper X'ovedades urged the public to remain -calm while awaiting a decision by Presi dent Manuel Avila Camacho. Sena tors and deputies who have been talking of a special sesjlfcn of Con gress to d Mare wa. also took the attitude that it was better to await a reply to Mexico’s protest before embarking on a course of definite action. —-V DANIELS SPEAKS TO WAKE DEMOS Former Ambassador Says ‘Put Country First But Don’t Be Caught Nappiing’ RALEIGH, May 16. — OP) — “Put country first but don’t be caught napping,” Josephus Daniels, for mer ambassador to Mexico declar ed here today in a speech before the Wake County Democratic con vention. Accusing republican members of congress of attempting to embar rass the administration, Daniels said, “the republican national com mittee recently passed resolutions with three patriotic resolutions for publicity and eight partisan declarations.” Daniels, who was secretary of the navy in the Wilson cabinet, said republican politisians of 1942 are pursuing the same course fol lowed by GOP leaders of 1918. “Then," Daniels said, “Wilson declared politics adjourned only to find that the republican politicians, taking advantage of his high devo tion to winning the Avar, conspired to gain control of Congress and deny the fruits of the victory won I World War.” “The great tragedy,” Daniels as serted, “was that the republicans, under cover, worked petty politics while proclaiming that politics was adjourned. “It placed the fate of the world in the hands of partisan isolation ists wfco jettisoned the League of Nations. The responsibility for the present hell of war that now af flicts mankind is largely due to the senators who would not permit the United States to take its seat in the League of Nations.” MISSOURI TEMPERATURE Missouri’s mean annual lemner ature is 55 degrees, its average pre cipitation is 39.47’inches I Whiteville Democrats Select Major Lamb WHITEVILLE, May 16.—Demo crats of Columbus county in their convention here today for, the fourth consecutive term chose Major R.

May lH.—l/Ri—Eight survivors of a small Norwegian mer chant ship said in an interview re leased today by the Third Nava] dis trict that an enemy submarine ma chine-gunned their vessel after tor pedoing it April 10 off the east coast of South America. Seven crew members, including the captain. Jens Tender, and a stew ardess, Margit Halten. were killed either by the explosion or by the bullets, said Ange Andersen, third engineer and one of the 24 who were rescued. The seaman at the wheel, Knud Kristoffersen. escaped from the wheel house and threw himself into the sea although his thigh bone was fractured by a machine gun bullet. He was picked up by others in a life boat and is still in a hospital in Brazil. Andersen said two boats were launched, a. life boat and a motor boat. The former capsized in launch ing but was bailed out by a seaman and was taken in tow by the motor boat. After six hours the motor failed and the lifeboat hoisted sail and took the motorboat in tow. The survivors were rescued after 36 hours by a Swedish merchant ship which landed them at Fort Aleza, Brazil.
