PATROL OUTING IS SET FOR TODAY Twety-Third Annual Picnic Will Be Held At Caro lina Beach The twenty-third annual picnic for the New Hanover county traf fic patrol boys will be held at Car olina Beach today, Lieut. John Davis of the city police depart ment said. “Ten county school buses will be utilized to carry the boys,” he said, “and over 400 are scheduled to go on the outing.” The buses will leave Wilmington “about ten o’clock and the trip back will start about four-thirty.” Several members of the state’s safety department in Raleigh will attend the picnic, Lieut. Davis said, and a number of members of the city’s traffic squad. The money for this outing is fur nished annually by the city and county, but the prizes for the win ners of the athletic contests to be held during the morning along the Carolina Beach strand were donat ed by Wilmington merchants. We are also, Lieut. Davis stat ed, “giving savings bond with one dollar’s worth of stamps to each boy who has served nine full months on his traffic squad. This money was donated by friends of the police department.” The junior traffic patrol was started here 23 years ago as a safety measure to assist school children across dangerous inter sections near their school build ings. Since then if has become a nation wide movement with squads in over 3,000 schools portecting the lives of millions of children. Among the resort’s residents to contribute to the boys’ outing will be Leon Cassidy, owner of the Carolina Beach amusement cen ter, who has promised a free ride on the Pretzel ride to each boy up until one o’clock Mayor Fergus has offered the old city hall building to the police force for their headquarters. 3 T-V HAS A PUNCH, TOO The Tasmanian wolf, like the kangaroo, carries its young in a pouch.

To Cut Liquor Output 90 Per Cent * No Shortage Is Expected, However, As Stocks Are Considered Ample WASHINGTON, May 27.— (tf) —A 90 per cent cut in hard liquor pro duction is planned by the end of this year, a WPB spokesman said today, so that the nation’s stills may be put to the task of turning out alcohol for use in the manufac ture of synthetic rubber and other vital war products. There is expected to be no short age of whiskey and other liquors, however, because ample stocks are on hand. A goal of 540,000,000 gallons of alcohol has been set for 1943, with 240,000,000 gallons to come from distilleries now producing bever ages. Of the total, 20,000.000 gal lons derived from grain is to be allocated to the production of but adiene for synthetic rubber. The whole program is expected to con sume 136,00,000 bushels of grain, with the emphasis on com, but with an increased use of wheat as well.

The Silver Sage" —-- ALSO - “BLACKOUT” With Conrad Veidt method of easing the rubber short age, the latter’s companion prob lem, the eastern gasoline scarcity, received attention in the House Rules committee. It decided that the House tomorrow should con sider and vote upon legislation to lay a pipe line and dig a barge canal across northern Florida. The project would facilitate the flow of oil and gasoline from gulf coast points, by linking 2.000 miles of submarine-proof inland water ways between the Mexican border and Trenton, N. J. The committee was told by Chairman Mansfield (D.-Tex.) of the rivers and harbors committee that the pipe line would give the eastern seaboard a partial relief from the oil shortage in 120 days. The barge canal could be built in 12 to 15 months, he said. tmpnasizmg tnat a supply ol beverage whiskey and other hard liquor sufficient to last several years is already in the warehouses the WPB spokesman said it was planned to move 20 rectifying stills from the Pacific coast and six from idle distilleries elsewhere to the main centers of the straight run whiskey industry, principally Kentucky. The beverage distilleries not to be converted to the program, will be largely those which lie off the main transportation lines, approxi mately ten per cent of the total. H. F. Wilke, vice president and manager of the Joseph B. Seagram distilleries, told a Senate agricul ture subcommittee, meanwhile, thdt if all stills were converted to the production of high-proof alco hol from grain, the output would tetal 65,000,000 gallons next year. Senator Bilbo, (B.-Miss.), in a Senate speech, called the rubber shortage “mythical” and said a nation-wide campaign for the re clamation of scrap rubber would amass 10,000,000 tons and go a long way toward solving the prob lem. 3 -V Two 15~Year-0lds Painting Church SOUTHPORT, May 27—Joe Sam Loughlin and GGlenn Jones, two fifteen-year-old lads, have given the answer to t he question of whether or not the Episcopilans would get their church painted. Labor was short, Mayor John Erikson and Rev. Cecil Alligood decided some time ago that the church needed painting and that they would do the work them selves, since labor was short. How ever, the Mayor is also Captain of a menhaden boat and has to work at that business about all the time when the weather may be fair enough for painting. To make matters worse, the p r e a cher proved to be one of the fellows who would like to stay on or neat the ground, he showed no inclina tion to ascend on high, via either scaffold or extension ladder. The work was languishing until the Boy Scouts came along and it de veloped that even the church spire and the top of the extension ladder had no terrors for them. They have been scraping and painting and the work goes on right well. -V Fish Are Running Off Of Southport SOUTHPORT, May 27—Blue fish and mackrel are p r eying on schools of menhaden off Southport, just as in previous years and de spite the fact that an authority on game fishing said a few months ago that there would be no game fishing on the Atlantic Coast this year, and perhaps for years to come. His reasoning was that all game fish would leave the waters where ships were torpedoed and depth bombing carried on. He may have been right but the blue fish and mackrel have come in just as usual. Likewise the trout to the old wrecks.

THURSDAY, 1:45 P. M. FRIDAY, 7:20 P. M. STEEL IS NEEDED TO BUILD TANKS Company Held Up By Fail ure To Obtain De livery Of Plates BY ROY PORTER SCHENECTADY, N. Y., May 27. —m—Duncan W. Fraser, president of the American Locomotive com pany, reported today that only a shortage of armor plate steel kept his company from peak production of medium 10-ton tanks but that the locomotive business was bettetr than ever. His statement came on the heels of a declaration from Ernest T. Weir, chairman of the National Steel Corporation of Pittsburgh, that “industry can have as much steel to build war weapons and rubber as it needs.” Fraser told correspondents on the National Association of Manu facturers “production for victory” tour that his plant at Schenecta dy—the largest of seven—had been held up on tank manufacture be cause “we simply are not able to get the armor plate that we need.” The company manufactures the M-3 medium tank, an improved version of the same vehicle with heavier fire power and another different war machine whose tac tical importance is so great that its details must remain a military secret. Fraser’s complaint on steel sup plies was not with priorities or allocations boards which decide who shall share in the monthly production of armor plate steel in the United States. “We have the allocations,” he said, “but we are not getting de liveries of the steel that we need.” -V Suspension Of Marine Base Work Is Denied A flat denial that work had been suspended at the New River Marine Base was made yesterday by Lieutenant Raymond P. Murphy, public relations officer at the base. He said reports had been circu lated and come to his attention that all construction would be stopped. While he preferred riot to say where the reports origi nated, he said too much empha sis could not be placed upon the fact that the rumors are ground less. Lieutenant Murphy said that on the other hand the work is being pushed. Undoubtedly, the plan is to make it the No. 1 Marine base in the country, he said, and there is no slackening in the work. He added that every able-bodied man who is qualified to do the work can get a job at the base. More laborers are needed, he said, especially in the skilled trades. Major Tucker Dies While Inspecting Fort Macon Major Elliot J. Tucker, 55, post engineer for Camp Davis, died sud denly Tuesday afternoon while in specting Fort Macon, it was an nounced by Camp Davis authori ties. Major Tucker, a reserve officer, was a nativeMobile, Ala., where he was a civilian employe in the office of the Mobile district of Army Engineers before his call to active duty.

F. and received the Croix de Guerre from the Fifth French army. Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Mildred Key Tucker, of Mo bile. The flag at Camp Davis was flown at half mast today in his honor. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Destroyer Blakely Named For Former Resident Of City The U. S. Destroyer Blakely, re cently damaged by. an enemy tor pedo in Caribbean waters, was named after a former resident of Wilmington, Louis T. Moore re vealed yesterday. According to Mr. Moore, John ston Blakely came to Wilmington in his boyhood with his parents. At the age of 19 he was appointed a midshipman in the U. S. Navy.
