WAR BOND PLEDGE DRIVE jvill open Campaign Will Be Waged gy Treasury Employes Beginning June 1 ln an effort to set an example the rest of the nation, the em °Pyes of the U. S. Treasury De P jtment throughout the n a t i on \vill start a War Bond pledge cam. "\gn June 1, E. C. Snead, acting ipa.°c.or of customs announced yesterday. ’ mr Morgenthau feels that the Treasury department should set the pvample and he has asked each mploye of the department to con tribute not less than 10 per cent hiS income toward war bonds. rn a letter to all employes of the ,, s Treasury Department, Mr. Morgenthau said, “Not only must 1 win this war but it is im portant that we prepare now to win the peace”. It was pointed out that invest ments in war bonds by the mil lions of salaried employes are not only necessary to enable the gov ernment to buy ships, airplanes, tanks guns and ammunition, but that it is essential to withdraw this money from the ordinary channels of trade in order to as sist the government in its effort to check rising prices. The members of the Treasury Department are to enroll in a def inite payroll allotment plan, Mr. Snead pointed out. It was shown that this plan assures a steady, regular income to the purchase of wsr bonds and is free from “hit or-miss’ decisions. One of the greatest advantages in the purchasing of war bonds is the tremendous cash r e s e rve which will be turned loose upon the bonds maturity, Mr. Snead I explained. This great reservoir of purchasing power will be of ben jfit to everyone. In closing the letter from Mr. Morgenthau stated, "War is never cheap, but let me remind you, it is a million times cheaper to win than to lose.” -V Advisory Committee To Aid Draft Registrants Is Appointed By Board A 40 person advisory committee !o assist men of the Third Regis tration in answering their occu pational questionnaires, was ap pointed yesterday by County Draft Board number 2. - • Several of the committeemen have served in this capacity dur ing the past under the chairman, Addison Hewlett, Sr., draft offi cials said.

This year’s event was °nf, °l,tbe most successful ever heM. The boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves with plenty of food soft drinks, ice cream, free rides, and lemonade. The lemonade was sefd,>, f<£ the boy5 in biS barrels set m the middle of street and there was lemonade through the day for all. The boys were served xrom one to six times, consuming a total of 1,924 sandwiches, 2,248 soft drinks and approximately fifty gallons of ice cream. One of the high lights of the day s program was the dinner held m the dining room of the Palis Royal hotel. Lt. John Davis acted as toastmaster. Supt. Roland of fered the invocation. Lt. Davis spoke in regards to the work of the Junior Traffic Police of this city. He stated that not a single traffic accident had occurred among the school children in New Hanover county this year. Guests of the dinner, were City Manager Wallace, May o r Har NAVY TASK FORCE PERFORMS' IOB Troop Convoy Escorted Safely Across Sub Infest ed Seas And Return By JOHN A. MOROSO. WITH THE ATLANTIC FLEET, May 28.— (A5) —Our naval task force has put into an eastern port after one of the most successful convoying jobs in history—a nose thumbing thrust through U-boat infested waters with ships carry ing thousands of mechanized men and supplies to Britain. We' sailed ' serenely through “submarine alley’’ last night and this dawn, despite a brilliant moon to help the enemy on this last lap of our trip. The captain put the bow of our hard hitting flag ship right on the channel buoy he had aimed at 3,000 miles away. We were just six minutes off the time he said he would hit the buoy. The official record will list us as arriving safely. It will not tell of the skill and cunning exerted to bring us home without a single contact with enemy submarines sulking along our coast. It will not tell of toruous zig zagging in six days of fog, of sleep less, red-eyed officers who plotted and schemed how to outwit Axis submarines. Using thunderous depth charges, we made 11 attacks enroute to the British Isles. We may have sunk three subs—an excellent rec ord for one trip. We lost not a ship in the 5,700 mile round trip. I have sailed 10,000 miles with this unit and our record is still perfect. We have “pushed peris copes down” in every section of the Atlantic. We have bested fog and escaped German planes — an amazing record to a landlubber like me, but just an every day job to the men of the Navy. The skipper of our ship typifies this task force. Living in a cubby hole on the navigation bridge he averaged less than two hours sleep in 24. His driving energy and fighting spirit was infectious to this Yankee crew. Our record may sound strange to the civilian who reads of ship sinkings along our coast. He may ask how you get through when so many others fail. One answer is that submarines dodge strength. They prefer lone ly ships without guns or convoy protection. The other answer is skill in avoiding them. L grove Bellamy, Chairman Board of County Commissioners Hewlett, Supt. of Schools Roland, Chief of the Wilmington Police Dept. Cas teen, Executive director of the Brigade Boys’ Club. William Stew art, Business Manager Marshall Board of Education, and Mayor of Carolina Beach Fergus. All of these men spoke highly of the work that has and is being done by the Junior Traffic Police. May or Fergus gave the address of welcome. He presented the key of the City of Carolina Beach to the 324 traffic boys. Lt. Davis pre sented two former traffic police boys who are now serving on the regular police force for the City of Wilmington. The picnic was in charge of Lt. J. H. Davis, chairman, Sgt. W. R.

Promoted Lieutenant Colonel Brooke E. Allen of Wilmington, whose ap pointment to that rank was an nounced yesterday by Major Gen eral C. L. Tinker, commander of Army air units in Hawaii. Colonel Allen was stationed at Hickam Field on the day of the Pearl Harbor disaster, in command of a bomber squadron. MAJ. BROOKE ALLEN GETS PROMOTION Wilmington Air Corps Of ficer Advanced To Rank Of Lieutenant Colonel Brooke Allen, 31, son of Mr, and Mrs. W. R. Allen, for the past six months a major in the U. S. Army Air Corps in Hawaii, has been promoted to the rank of Lieut. Colonel, it was learned here yes terday. Colonel Allen, a native wilming tonian, finished New Hanover High school with the class of 1928. Fol lowing his graduation he enrolled in Davidson college and graduated there in 1933. He was the only Davidson man, from a list of 8 candidates, to re ceive an appointment to Randolph Field for training in the army air corps. Graduating from Kelly Field in 1934, as a second lieutenant, Allen was stationed at Mitchell Field, N. Y. He was one of the first men from Wilmington to receive an ap pointment to Randolph Field, In 1937, he married Miss Helen Frank, daughter of Colonel W. H. Frank of the Army Air Corps, who is now a Major General in com mand of the Third Army Air Force with headquarters in Tampa, Fla. .Lieutenant Allen was transfer red to Hawaii in 1939 and soon after received his appointment as captain. A few weeks before the Pearl Harbor disaster, he was promoted to the rank of major. In October, 1941, Mrs. Allen re turned to the United States for a visit with her parents. Five min utes before'the bombing of Hick am Field on December 7, she hung up the telephone after talk ing to her husband at that airport. For several weeks, no word was received from Col. Allen and it was later learned that he survived the Hickam Field bombing with out injury. Col. Allen is the proud father of a young daughter, Toni, born March 28, 1942, and who he has never seen. “I waited five years for my first kid, and now I have never seen her,” he wrote his parents here. --V_ Fabulous Profits Reported Realized On Navy Contracts WASHINGTON, May 28—(A»)— The House Naval committee heard testimony today that the Mine Safety Appliances company of Pittsburgh, O., had realized “tre mendous” profits on millions of dollars of work for the Navy and had doubled the compensation of some of its executives. Edmund Toland, committee counsel, reported that his investi gators, in a study of the com pany’s finances, had found that it made gross profits “ranging from a high of 122 per cent to a low of 38 per cent” in 1940 and 1941 on Navy contracts. But George H. Deike, president of the company, in a statement placed in the committee’s record, contended that Toland’s figures failed to take taxes into account, and said that the company’s an nual net profits ranged from 7.44 to 9.49 per cent for the five-year period of 1937-41. inclusive. -V /Witts Gets County Farm Sentence For Assault Charged with assault wlith a deadly weapon resulting in in jury, Henry Lee Mills was sen tenced to serve two months in jail, to be assigned to the county farm, at a hearing Thursday in Recorder’s court.
