General Staff corps, will speak to Camp Davis officers at 2 p.m. today in Theatre No. 4 on the Far East and conditions at orreg'idor and in the Philippines. He returned from staff duty at Crregidor shortly before it fell and is intimately acquainted with events of the Far Eastern w a r theatre. Col. Clear is a retired infantry officer who entered the service in 1917, serving until retired for disability in line of duty In 1935. He returned to active duty over 'a year ago. Shortly after he arrived in ■ this country frm the war zne. Col. Clear described in a broadcast con titions at Corregidor as “living on a bull's eye.” He said: “I have been along side our American soldiers in a battle against the greatest odds, and I have seen them perform for weeks on end until utter exhaus tion proved the deciding factor. These men have resisted far above and beyond the call of duty.” Famous British General Ordered To Washington LONDON, June 11—(/Pi—The War Office announced tonight that Lieut.-General Gordon Mac ready, 51, one of the first Brit ish officers to enter Berlin at the end of the last war, had been appointed chief of the Brit ish army staff in Washington. mer day in 1838, Governor Edward, B. Dudley of North Carolina and Governor Pierce Mason Butler of South Carolina arrived at about the same time at the home of Mrs. Nancy Ann Jones, on U. S. high way 70 between Raleigh and Dur ham. and a house boy was dis patched immediately for. mint juleps. After an unusually long wait, the governor of North Carolina der dared: “It’s a damn long time between drinks.” “Damn long,” agreed the per spiring governor of South Carolina. Mrs. Jones, from whose recently discovered diary the incident was taken, recorded that she was great ly embarrassed by the implied re flection on her hospitality. The second story is that Gover nor John Morehead of North Caro lina met Governor J. H. Hammond of South Carolina in 1841 to discuss a boundary dispute concerning the state line near Charlotte. At one point in the discussion, the South Carolina executive threatened to send troops into the Old North State if Governor Morehead refus ed to yield. “Now sir,” shouted Governor Hammond, crashing his fist on a table, “What is your answer?” “My reply sir,” responded Gov ernor Morehead with deliberation, is this. “It's a damned long time between drinks.” An amicable settlement was reached. -V Col.

Molotov was just plain “Mr. Brown” to the White House staff during his visit to this country. That was so they would not refer to him by his real name and in advertently give away the secret, that he was here. Presidential Secretary Stephen Earle made this known today in giving reporters the announcement of the Molotov mission to t h is country. He displayed a picture of the foreign commissar and Presi dent Roosevelt, declaring it was a photo of the chief executive and Mr. Brown. “Why didn’t you call him Mr. Red?” somebody quipped. The American name “Mr. Brown” appeared to fit the com missar perfectly. Pictures of Mo lotov, showing him talking w i i h President Roosevelt and being met on arrival here, were, of a be spectacled, middle-aged and pros perous American business man. Molotov’s dark business suit, soft hat, set squarely on his head, and clipped mustache, would have al lowed him to pass unnoticed irf any 5 o’clock hurry of executives for the commuters’ train. Indeed, there were rumors that he had moved about the capital’s streets during his stay, one legend r >eing that he bought a bag of pea nuts from a vendor who sells his wares across the street from the White House. That was possible, since the commisar spent part of his six day visit ai the White House and the other part at historic Blair house, opposite the state depart ment and just west on Pennsyl vania avenue from the Executive Mansion. Blair house was the home of Montgomery Blair of Maryland, friend and adviser to President Lincoln during Civil war days. Now it is being used by the gov ernment as the place of residence for Official guests of the United ■States. CORNS GO QUICK!

Professional Dynamite Girl Has Her Ambition *-—-_ By EDWARD FAGNAC. i KENNER, La., June 11.— (Wide t World).—The only woman blaster j in the world, who plays with dyna- 1 mite professionally, has one ambi- < tion—to teach children how to han dle high explosives safely. i Melba Bergeron Mince, 21, pert 1 and pretty, who handles dynamite < like stick candy, earns a tidy sum ! blasting tree stumps, but says she some day plans a school to teach ■ the knack of dynamiting. “Children get such a big kick out ' of loud noises,” she said, “I think they should be taught how to han dle high explosives safely and some day I am going to do just that.” The auburn haired girl first be came interested in 'explosives when she began “going steady” two years ago with Albert Mince, now her husband, who has been a blaster for six years. She is li censed by the Federal government to buy and use explosives and does her own estimating and contract ing. “All it takes is confidence and the love of adventure,” she ex plained. “I’ve been adventurous all my life. I’ve been trying to get Albert to hop freight trains with me but he won’t. I’m going to do it yet.” Albert, of Maldon, Md., who does Governor To Review Columbus Man’s Case RALEIGH, June 11.— (£>—Gover nor Broughton today began a study of the case of John S'. Baldwin, Columbus county farmer, sentenc ed to die June 26 for the slaying of Dr. Randolph Jones, Duke uni versity hospital surgeon. Baldwin was convicted during the January term of Durham Su perior court, and the state Su preme court last Friday con firmed the decision of the lower court. Hathaway Cross, assistant com missioner of paroles, said the men tal condition of the convicted kill er would receive the governor’s attention. Baldwin shot Dr. Jones to death in the corridor of Duke hospital after accusing the surgeon of per forming a faulty operation on him. SPRY AT 90 ASHEVILLE, June 11. — CP) — George W.

MKEY0URH0ME Add Creolin to the water when cleaning bathtubs, basins, toi lets, floors, walls and woodwork. Creolin is a powerful disinfectant and deodorant. Ask your druggist. Merck & Co. Inc., Rahway, N. J. not conceal his pride in his dyna mic bride of several weeks, says she is better than the average man blaster and “although I wouldn’t tell her this, she knows more about explosives than I do.” “She made a thorough study oi explosives,” he said, “reading everything she could get her hands on in libraries and from powder companies. “She can mix her own explo sives, something I can’t do my self, and when she begins to spoul off technical names of various ex plosives, I hardly know what she is'talking about.” The young couple have just fin; ished clearing off a plot of grounc for a housing project in Kennei and will start on another job im mediately. Mrs. Mince, as photogenic as i movie actress, says she can bias 200 stumps a day and has sufferec only two headaches since she started her profession. “Those were from poison gas caused by the explosion of dyna mite,” she said. “Now, however it doesn’t bother me a bit and ' can examine the hole made by the blast almost immediately withou ill effects.” Her husband said he taught hei everything he knew about blasting despite her mother’s objection, anc boasts that his wife can “scuttle’ (making dynamite blast downwan instead of upward) better that most men. Both are fond of music and danc ing. Mrs. Mince in 1938 wai selected as one of -the three bes drummers in the state at a schoo rally in Baton Rouge. The • othe: two were boys.
