NEW WORLD NEED IS COOPERATION Justice Douglas, Speaking In Home State, Visions Big Changes Ahead MILWAUKEE, Ore., June 17.— —Justice William O. Douglas of the Supreme Court peered beyond the war tonight and saw a new world based upon cooperative un dertaking. In an address prepared for the Oregon State Grange convention, the Justice, vacationing in his homeland, asserted: "The era of peace must be con ceived in terms of a cooperative undertaking rather than an imper ialistic one—whether that imperial ism be militaristic or economic. It must eradicate the disease of ag gression by going to the root of the infection. “We must somehow find in the more relaxing days of the future peace that degree of fulsome co operative action which is so read ily achieved in war. We must make certain that the cooperative pat tern of today carries over into the morrow.” Men, women and children have enlisted in this war, and the coop erative spirit has spread around the world, wherever there is ag gression, he said, continuing: “This is indeed the people’s war —the war of peoples fighting to be free. “Behind the front lines are men and women with hoes and plows and tractors—men and women on production lines—men and women in civilian defense—men and wo men who expose their lives and their loved ones to the enemy’s as sault, and who do not falter or despair. “The farmers of China, cultivat ing narrow terraces in hundreds of remote canyons, the artisans of China making ammunition by hand in dozens of dark caves, stand be hind the armies which have resist ed the Japanese for five weary years. The same is true in Russia, in England and in Australia. The same is true here.” 3 -V MAJOR T. SEMMES WALMSLEY SAN ANTONIO. June 17.—(A1)— Major T.

Hood in refusing to approve a charter for the proposed Com mercial Credit Plan Industrial bank of Greensboro was received on appeal today by the State Supreme court. r -■ BY DREW MIDDLETON LONDON, June 17. — (Wide World) — Arthur Travers Harris, chief of Royal Air Force bomber command who organized the thou sand plane raids on Cologne and the Ruhr, is the only Allied mili tary leader to declare publicly that, given the right conditions, he could end the war by Autumn. Watching the big bombers leave on one major raid, he said: “If I could send 20,000 bombers over Germany tonight, Germany would not be in the war tomorrow; if I could send 1,000 bombers every night it would end the war by au tumn.” Harris is carrying out the policy he planned in the lean years be tween 1933 and 1937 when he was deputy director of plans for the R. A. F. ne is Britain s roremost expon ent of the decisive power of the air arm. This war and all future wars will be won by air power, he declares, a dictum which has not made him precisely popular with certain circles in the Admiralty and War Office. Harris predicts the Germans will “scream for mercy” when the combined British and American air forces begin working on them, and then, he adds happily, “the tmie will come for a final kick in the pants for Japan.” Profane and energetic, Harris is vigorous and fit at 50. No old school - tie boy, he sometimes shocks gilded subordinates from the public schools with his salty speech and brusque manner. Before the last war he was a to bacco planter in Rhodesia. He join ed the First Rhodesian regiment as a bugler in 1914. A year later he was transferred to the Royal Flying Corps. Army life left Harris with a deep rooted aversion to walking. Today he will walk only a few steps. Harris got a permaneu* commis. sion in the R. A. F. in 1919 after three years of flyng and fighting in France. He flew bombers and reconnaissance planes, attacked Zeppelins at night in primitive fighters, and won the Air Force Cross. When the war ended he was commanding a bomber squadron. As a wing commander he led squadrons on active service in the Middle East and the Sudan in the years immediately following the war. Early in 1933 he returned to Britain and his staff job, convinc ed that the bomber was the weap on with which his country would win the next World war. Already the plans for German rearmament were in the air. In the next four years while Goering and Udet licked the German air force into shape, Harris and his fellow members on the planning board began plotting to defeat Ger many by bombing. This .amused European observ ers, and in truth their efforts might be likened to street urchins plan ning to spend a million dollars. The Nazis’ Dorniers, Heinkels and Mes serschmtts were already in pro duction. The R. A. F. bomber com mand consisted of ancient “crates” and the fighter force was little bet ter off. Even the Blenheim bomb er existed only in the minds of designers. When Harris left the planning board, he had helped organize the great bomber force he now directs. The Wellingtons, Whitleys and Hampdens which formed the back bone of the British bombing force in the first two years of the war were already on the draftsmen’s tables, the shadowy forms of the four-motored thunderbirds at the back of every staff officer’3 mind. Harris and his fellows, unortho dox men with an unorthodox plan, were unpopular with the aging ad mirals and generals who were de ciding to fight Hitler on lines simi lar to those used against the Kaiser. “Bert” Harris survived this, even needling his critcs by ap pearing at formal dinners in a plum colored dinner jacket and driving his car like a bat out of hell. Although far from a “politi cal airman” he aired his views to ► Government Takes 200 Tons Scrap; Dealer Says “OK” CLINTON, la., June 17.—(A>) —A. O. Schaffer of Clinton whose A to Z wrecking yard containing an estimated 200 tons of iron, steel and rubber scrap was requisitioned by the Federal government today, said tonight that “if the gov ernment needs this material we are perfectly willing for them to have the graveyard.” Declaring he had no “hard feelings” toward the govern ment, Schaffer said “we do not object to being put out of busi ness and the only discussion between ourselves and the war production board concerned the value of the material it Is re quisitioning. At no time did we ask for a profit, but merely wanted a price to approximate the cost to us.” Federal officials, who said Schaffer previously had refus ed to sell the scrap, took over the wrecking yard, which cov ers about three city blocks, this morning. $2,500 Suit Filed In Clerk’s Office Judgment for $2,500 Is asked in by the plaintiff in the case of Mingo Newkirk vs F, C. Seigler. according to the complaint filed in the office of Clerk of Superior Court T. A. Henderson. The complaint, which was filed here, will be sent to Pender county for service on F. C. Seigler. The plaintiff alleges that he was incapicitated totally for a minimum of two months and that his mule was rendered much less valuable for farm purposes as the result of injuries received when the wagon to which the mule was at tached was struck from the rear by an automobile driven by Seigler on January 14. The collision happened while Newkirk was driving along the highway, leading from Wilmington to Castle Hayne, in the direction of Castle Hayne. -V Mrs. Rickenbacker Will Arrive Today Arriving here early today to urge Wilmington women to volunteer their services at the information filter center will be Mrs. Eddie Rickenbacker, wife of Captain Rickenbacker, who was here only two months ago, and liaison of ficer for the Army Aircraft Warn ing service.

After leaving the staff in 1937, Harris went to the United States and Canada on the Air Ministry mission. Then he returned to the Middle East to shake up the RAF. There he was promoted to air vice marshal in July 1939 and returned to Englan/ just after the outbreak of war to take over command of No. 5 group. FEDERAL VICE LAW INVOKED Military Areas Will Be Placed Under Strict er Regulation RALEIGH, June 17—W— The problem of controlling vice and prostitution in North Carolina’s large and ever-expanding military areas has become so great that Federal intervention is necessary, army officers informed Governor Broughton today. The May act, making prostitu tion as it affects military person nel a federal offense, will be in voked almost immediately in the Fort Bragg area, and probably it will be invoked soon for the re mainder of the state, the gover nor said. After a conference here today with Brig. Gen. John T. Kennedy, Fort Bragg commander, and Col. W. H. Huntley, commander at Camp Butner, the governor said that he “welcomed” the federal action. Broughton said tnat tne army ui ficers have reported that local of ficers had made “an earnest ef fort” to handle the vice situation but the problems presented by the camp followers of the large num ber of soldiers in North Carolina had become “greater than local authorities can cope with.” With numerous military camps and bases and with plans well along for extensive maneuvers in the state later in the year, North Carolina is “coming to be the training camp of the nation,” the officers told the governor. “The problem is ever growing,” the governor said. “A great num ber of young men is being brought into North Carolina for training and we welcome the move to aid in this drive.” The May act bans prostitution in areas designated by the secre tary of war and provides for fed eral enforcement. Penalties are much greater than state anti-vice laws. Under the act, civilian of fenders may be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than a year, or both. Military personnel is subject to court mar shal and punishment under arti cules of war or articles for the government of the navy. Army officers have complained for some time of the high rate of venereal disease infection among their men and have threatened in vocation of the May act unless the situation was improved. As a re sult, arrests and convictions in prostitution cases have increased greatly. Invocation of the May act, the governor said, would not super sede state anti-vice laws but would serve to supplement them, Brough ton said. The drive cn vice would be a coordinated state-f ederal effort. -V WEIGHTY PARLEY RALEIGH, June 17.—IJ’i—A North Carolina conference on weights and measures will be held in Asheville June 25 through 27, C.
