BAILEY’S LEAD GAINS STEADILY Late Returns Make No Changes In Standing Of Candidates For Congress RALEIGH, May 31. —(/P)—Sena tor Josiah W. Bailey’s margin over Richard T. Fountain gained steadily today as additional re turns were reported from yester day’s democratic primary for the U. S. Senate. With 1,610 of the state’s 1,919 precincts tabulated, the vote for Bailey, seeking a third term, was 183,107 as compared with 83,584 for Fountain, former lieutenant gover nor and one-time speaker of the North Carolina House of Repre sentatives. The 69 year old Bailey, who made no formal campaign, was ahead in all but four of the state’s 100 counties on the face of the in complete returns. He carried even Fountain’s home county of Edge combe by a slender majority. Later returns made no change in the standing of the candidates for congress. All incumbent represen tatives who had opposition were certain of renomination, and in the new Tenth district, Cameron Morrison, former U. S. Senator and former governor, had a better than two-to-one advantage over John A. McRae. In the only state-wide republican primary, Sam J. Morris of Raleigh had 1,527 votes against 743 for Stoner W. Kluttz of Salisbury for the U. S. Senate nomination witli 801 precincts reported. By districts, the voting in the democratic primary for congress was as follows: r lrst, 16V Ui ill picv.iuv.wj, Herbert Bonner, 21,823, Marvin K Blount, Greenville, 6,869, Jack Ed wards, also of Greenville, 2,367. Fiftn, 86 of 143 precincts, Rep John H. Folger, 13,779, Dr. D C. Speas, Winston-Salem, 2,007, Julian H. Wulbern, also of Winston Salem, 938. Eighth, 169 of 204 precincts, Rep. W. O. Burgin, 20,361, Giles New ton, 6,276. Tenth, 146 or 175 precincts, Cameron Morrison, 12,234, John A. McRae 5,944. Eleventh, 123 of 151 precincts, Rep. A. L. Bulwinkle, 15,523, Claude B. Woltz, Gastonia, 3,624. The primary brought to a cli max a campaign in which little activity was shown by candidates for the major offices and in which even less interest was manifested bv the public. Fountain, who ran against Bailey six years ago, charged that the senator had not supported the na tional administration on many im portant measures of both domestic and foreign policy. Bailey himself made no cam paign speech but an advertisement published in various papers short ly before the primary contended that he had been of great aid to President Roosevelt in the ad vancement of the latter’s major policies. THOMAS^SUMTER LAUNCHED HERE Vessel Is Thirteenth Liber ty Ship Built By N. C. Shipbuilding Company The S. S. Thomas Sumter, thir teenth Liberty ship built in the yards of the North Carolina Shipbuilding company here, was launched at noon yesterday. The vessel was christened by Miss Frances Robeson, daughter of E. J Robeson, of Newport News, Va„ a director of the North Carolina Ship buillding company and personnel manager of the Newport News Ship building and Drydock company. Misses Martha Robeson and Pam Cole, of Newport News, were the maids of honor. The Sumter is named for Brig. Gen. Thomas Sumter, the "Game cock” of Revolutionary war fame. General Sumter, at the head of troop of light horse, defeated the British at Catawba and Hanging Stock, and after having been sur prised by Tarleton at Fishing Creek, repulsed the British at Fishdam and again at Blackstock. At the time of his death in 1832, |ie was the last surviving general bfficer of the War of Independence. -Y 20 More Executed By Nazis In Prague LONDON, May 31.—Iff)—Nazi fir ing squads in the old Czech capi tal of Prague executed 20 mor< persons today in connection witi the Gestapo’s sweeping reprisal; lor the attack last Wednesday up on ihe German leader Reinhart Heydrich.

Wilmington ———- 88 68 ®-' COLOGNE HEAVILY HIT BY BRITISH (Continued from Page One) which would hold the key to quick reinforcement of a number of pos sible invasion points along the Ger man-garrisoned coast had been put out of commission. In a message read at all bomber stations before the crews set off on their mission, air Marshal A. T. Harris, chief of the bomber com mand, told his men: “Press home your attack on this night’s objective with the utmost determination and resolution in the full knowledge that if you individ aully succeed, the most shattering and devastating blow will have been delivered against the very vitals of the enemy.” The Air Ministry said that con siderably more than 1,000 bombers took part. The British press asso ciation said it was probable 1,250 aircraft were engaged including fighters, coastal command and army cooperation command planes which blanketed the defense with bombings and machine-gunnings of German airports and fought off attacks on the heavy bombers. Lose 44 Planes The British admitted, however, that 44 of their planes were down ed by the immense concentration of 500 large and small anti-aircraft guns and 120 searchlights ringing Cologne and the many night fight er squadrons which got into the air. In view of the large number of planes participating, the British considered these losses sm'all. but it meant that many score of the 6,000 British, Australian and Ca nadian pilots would not come back. Watching “every step” of the vast operation were American air force observers who are preparing to join their own offensive with that of the British. Among the four Canadian squadrons which took part were some American fliers, and among their planes were some American-made Boston bombers Six types of giant weight-carry ing planes dropped their trains of bombs with the aid of bright moon light and after a few minutes by the guidance of raging fires which sent colored reflections dancing along their shimmering sides. The dummy fires which the Ger mans lighted to misguide the bom bardiers were puny by comparison with the wells of flames which soon merged into a sea, leaving only a flaming mass to shoot at. noi tomparauic Veterans of the battle of Britain declared the fires of London in the winter of 1940-41 were nothing like it. The air ministry, declaring that the weight of bombs dropped was “astronomical,” said a “very high proportion” of the force consisted of four motored Stirlings which carry four tons of explosives, and that other weight - carrying ma chines included Lancasters, Had faxes, Manchesters, Wellingtons and Hampdena. So quick and overwhelming was their rush that the Germans found no time to concentrate their fire as the crews made their runs over the target. “The sky over Cologne was as busy as Piccadilly circus,” said one pilot. Coming just two years after Brit ain was battling at Dunkerque, this raid was said by Air Marshal Har ris to have used more than twice as many planes as the Germans eer used against Britain in one night, and to have carried four times the weight of bombs. The measure of destruction that must have been wrought was indi cated by the fact that the British estimated the German never had used more than 500 bombers in any single night on which they battered the cities of England in the long terrifying raids of the fall and winter of 1940-41. The Air Ministry communique announcing this new phase of the war in western Europe said the bombers numbered “considerable more than 1,000,” and that in ad dition the planes of the fighter, coastal and army cooperation com mands went into action, supporting the bombers by giving protection and by fiercely attacking enemy airdromes from which the Ger mans might have put up a de fense. It was considered probably that these planes might have numbered several hundred more. Admit Great Damage 5 (The Germans, claiming only 37 British bombers shot down in the assault, admitted “great damage’ had been done to the center of Cologne by what it called a “ter ror attack.” They said that most of the damage was to residential sections and several public build ings, including three churches and two hospitals. They did not name any of the churches.) This greatest air raid in all his tory was the 107th on Cologne,the fifth city of the Reich. It already had suffered many blows on its chomical, synthetic oil and rubber and explosives in ' dustries. . 1 The Kalk and Humbold Deutz factory which produces aircraft and submarine engines, the Koln Nippes railway works, and the Franz Clouth Synthetic rubber plant were believed to have been the principal objectives of this the latest and greatest assault in a r continuation of the efforts to knock ; out the supply sources of Gen l many’s submarine and air forces British air sources were jubilan 9 over the success but whether ii a signalled the opening of softening 8 up blows to pave the way for i ® land invasion or the beginning of i 0 gigantic air offensive alone thej o naturally declined to say. o 1000 Per Night Jj They did recall that Air Marsha o A.

Reports of death on the roads," in the water and other accidents mounted slowly, appearing to indi cate that last year’s total of 451 would not be equalled. An unofficial total of 78 traffic deaths, 76 drownings and 47 mis cellaneous fatalities were reported by 8 p. m. (EWT) with 14 states still not heard from. The National Safety council esti mated that 400 deaths were nor mal for the week-end while other May week-ends averaged 141. Ohio led the states with 22 fatali ties, seven in traffic mishaps, 15 by drowning. Next was Michigan, with seven traffic deaths, nine drownings and five others. --V General Chiang Pleads For American Equipment NEW YORK, May 31—(A*)— Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek pledg ed today that given “ten percent of the equipment put out in Amer ica, the Chinese army will give you one hundred percent of the desired results.” Speaking from Chungking on the “Army Hour” program carried by the National Broadcasting com pany, China’s leader said “while morale is- important, it is not suf ficient in itself to win the fight for final victory. It must be sup plemented by mechanized equip ment. Mechanized equipment by it self cannot win. Morale and equip ment combined spell final victory” -V SMALL SUB SINKS VESSEL IN GULF (Continued from Page One) to the bottom. The vessel was armed with a naval gun crew but no shots were fired as the submarine was not seen until aft er the ship sank. Later the submarine surfaced and an officer asked identity of the ship, and inquired if anyone was injured, survivors reported. The survivors in four lifeboats kept together and were taken aboard three fishing boats the same morning. ARNOLD ATTACKS OIL COMPANY (Continued from Page One) thetic rubber program in this country, unless Standard were al lowed to dominate it; and “5. Its continuing relationship with E. G. Farben.” Arnold said he was presenting today’s supplemental statement in reply to Standard’s denial “through the press and over the radio and through a special report to is customers” of Arnold’s tes timony b e f o re the committee March 26. As in his previous testimony, Ar nold repeated that “in fairness to the defendants I think I should say that there is no alliance with German interests from unpatriotic motives.’’ night it would end the war by Autumn.” Only a few days ago authorita tive sources declared that British and American air forces were building up to the point where they could send 1,000 bombers against Germany every night the weather is fit. Ttiere was no indication tnat American forces had participated in the opening round on this sched ule, but it was considered signifi cant in some quarters that it was launched while Lieut. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of the United States Army Air Forces, Lieut. Gen. Brehon H. Somervell chief of the U. S. Army Services of Supply Command, and other high officials of the U. S. Army and Navy are engaged here in conference1-- with the British command. Speculation that these infer ences were laying plans fo- some thing more than an aerial offen sive was fanned last week when Ger. George C. Marshall, U. S. Army chief of staff, declared at West Point that United States troops will land in France. The timing of these conferences also was considered significant be cause the initial spring offensives on the Russian front appear to ob servers to have disclosed a near stalemate. Prime Minister Churchill in his message to the bomber command called the assembly of 1,000 bomb ers over Cologne in an hour and half a “remarkable feat of organi zation.” His message said: “I congratulate you and otl»r commands upon the remarkable feat of organization which enabled you to dispatch over 1,000 bombers to the Cologne area in a single night and without confusion to con centrate their action over a target into so short a time as one hour 1 and a half. “This is proof of the gorwing > power of the British bomber forces ■ and is also a herald of what Ger l many will receive city for city* ' from now on." 3 Tanks And Men For AEF Arrive In Ireland A huge convoy of American soldiers, complete with mechanized equipment recent ly landed in North Ireland after crossing the Atlantic without the loss of a man.

MANY WILL ENTER SECOND PRIMARY dumber Of Seats In State’s General Assembly Are Still Undecided RALEIGH, May 31— —Al though North Carolina's voters were unusually unanimous in yesterday’s primary, scattered reports received here today indicated that many candidates for the general assembly would have to go into a second primary before party nominees are determined. However, many counties appeared to be fairly well satisfied with the legislators they had, for 34 incum bent representatives and 18 senators didn’t even have opposition in the primary or the general election. Others, who won in the primary, found not general election opposi tion. Wake county renominated its en tire legislative delegation, Senator L. Y. Ballentine and Representa tives William T. Hatch, Arch T. Allen and Leroy Allen. In Mecklenburg, Frank K. Sims, Ir., an advocate of the liquor con trol system, led a large field of legislative candidates despite spirit ed opposition from the » Women's Christian Temperance Union.

THREESHIPSSENT TO THE BOTTOM One Of Attacking Subma rines Apparently Feels Sting Of Gunfire MIAMI, Fla., May 32.—(tfk-Axis submarines operating in the Cari bbean and Atlantic torpedoed three American merchant ships May 20 with a loss of nine lives. One at tacking undersea boat apparently felt the sting of defensive gun fire from one ship. A total of 123 men were rescued Three of those who died were mem bers of a naval gun crew, whose identies were not made public when the Navy realesed news of the enemy action today. The two vessels torpedoed in the Caribbean were attacked within sight of each other. The entire crew of 40 was saved from the first one sunk. The other craft, warned by radio of the presence of submarines, was ready when the enemy craft approached in the darkness. A shell whined over the second vessel, and its gun crew had an answering shell screaming toward the submarine in an instant. There was no reply from the subamrine’s guns, but 15 minutes later a tor pedo blasted the vessel. Bailey Is Grateful For Re-Nomination RALEIGH, May 31.—(JV-U. S. Senator Josiah W.
