CITY OPENS DRIVE TO GET USO FUNDS Many Organizations En dorse Campaign For $28, 000 For Organization Formal opening of Wilmington drjVe to raise $28,000 in the USO financial campaign will be launch ed today, officials announced Wednesday. A campaign to be conducted throughout the nation is expected to raise the amount of $32,000,000 for the United Service Organiza tions. The drive here has been en dorsed by a large number of or ganizations, including the Great er Wilmington Chamber of Com merce. the James A. Manley Post No. 2573 of Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Sorosis club. The V. F. W. has endorsed the campaign as follows: “Whereas, it is recognized that the services rendered by the Unit ed Service Organization' in pro moting and maintaining morale among the fighting men of our armed forces are indispensable, and “Whereas, it is further recogniz ed that funds for the maintenance of this organization are dependent largely upon public and private subscription, “Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the James A. Manley Post No. 2573, Veterans of Foreign Wars. Wilmington, North Carolina, at a special meeting held at eignt o'clock p. m. on June 8, 1942, doth hereby wholeheartedly endorse the campaign for funds now being con ducted by the United Service Or ganization as a most worthy un dertaking.” The borosis ciud passed me un loving resolution: ‘ North Carolina Sorosis has al ways stood for the highest type of moral, social and spiritual liv ing in our community, and for the creating of a nappy homelike at mosphere for friend or stranger within our gates. At no time, in the history of our club, have our op portunities been greater than to day. It is the desire of Sorosis to render the greatest services pos sible to the defense workers and the uniformed men in our midst, and believing that the United Serv ice Organizations are striving to create a homelike atmosphere, and are providing diversified activi ties and giving friendly council, thereby convincing the men m service that the men and women in the home ranks are standing by ready and eager to serve them whenever needed—the following resolution was adopted by North Carolina Sorosis June 10. “That North Carolina Sorosis endorses the forth coming campaign for funds for the continuance of USO activities, at home and abroad, for the social and spiritual com forts of our fighting forces. The club also recommends that a year ly statement of expenditures be published for the purpose of en lightening the public and increas ing interest in a worthy cause.'’ The local USO campaign was un officially opened here yesterday when a joint luncheon meeting of the city’s seven civic organiza tions was held at St. Paul’s parish house. earnest JLDinger, sian memuei of Time and Life magazines and national field representative of the United Service Organizations, and Nathaniel Nason, Jewish Welfare board representative, were among speakers.

Chamber of Commerce and Junior Chamber of Commerce at tended. Rev. James Lawson pre sided, and the invocation was by Rev. C. E. Murphy. In addition to serving as an r,pen forum on USO, the luncheon highlighted the local observance of Flag day. Rev.

Senator James Mead Senator Janies Mead of New York proposed that a modern Home Defense Army be set up immediately to guard against pos sible attacks by enemy parachute troops or Commando raiders. He suggested that members of the home units could be obtained from the ranks of World War I veter ans. men rejected from armed service because of some slight physical defect, and from sports men’s clubs. REIGN OF TERROR SWEEPS EUROPE (Continued From Page One) more dead in retaliation for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich Gestapo executioner. Russia—Russians escaping from German-held Kharkov, Ukrainian city, told of mass executions among suffering civilians who daily saw bodies of those who had died of starvation being carted to the city’s outskirts. Yugoslavia—reports received by secret channel said 250 hostages were shot in a ten-day period dur ing April in the German-occupied part of Slovenia, in northern Yugo slavia Yugoslav resistance contin ued and 1,500 Axis soldiers were reported captured recently in a battle between them and Gen. Dra ja Mihailovic’s guerrilla forces. Greece—German authorities pub lished a warning that 30 hostages would be shot unless sabotage ceases, a Moscow dispatch said. Several hostages already have been reported slain. The German labor service has conscripted 26,000 Macedonians, an Athens dispatch to the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, said. Norway—four hundred loyal Nor wegian teachers who refused to bow to the Quisling regime now are toiling on wharves at Kirkenes northern Norway, beside Russian prisoners of war. One hundred and sixty others were assigned to sim ilar tasks at Elvenes. At least 60 Norwegians were ar rested at Skien after defying the curfew and other restrictions and fear of more stringent Nazi action rose with reports that Reichs Com missioner Josef Terboven had gone there to "clean up" the situation. Belgium—an unspecified number of peasants who refused to hand over their wheat were held as hostages in Liege province until sufficient wheat is delivered to meet requisitioning orders. Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania— all men of 21 to 29 have been call ed up for a year of lhbor service in Germany. Germany — a Berlin announce ment said 15,000,000 German wom en are engaged in war work, 9, 400,000 in various kinds of com pulsory service. A Bern, Switzer land, dispatch said most of the women workers “are badly affect ed” by war service and “some times are more sullen than polite”. A neutral dispatch said German official statements in the new prop aganda campaign surpass those of the winter, when appeals concen trated on collection of clothing for soldiers on the Russian front. The people are urged now to demonstrate their determination by deeds. A Swiss dispatch from Berlin said the remembrance of 1918 is strong among the working people. This writer declared they believe the British intend to destroy the German race and the feeling is strengthened by the night a i r raids. -V CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY CHAPEL HILL, June 17.— (A1) — Dr. Archibald Henderson, who has been a member of the University of North Carolina faculty for al most half a century—since 1898, to be exact—today celebrated his 65th birthday quietly at his home here -V BLOOD BANK RALEIGH, June 17.— (A>) —The emergency medical unit of the Wake County Defense Council an nounced today that it had attained its goal of preparing 400 pints of blood plasma for use if needed m an enemy attack. ___ MANOR '.SV Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in "The Corsican Brothers" Feature at; ll:56-2;17-7:00-8:20 FRIDAY - SATURDAY DOUBLE FEATURE! RAY CORRIGAN—JOHN KING MAX TERHONE in "Trailing Double Trouble" -A LSO JUDY CANOVA in "SCATTERBRAIN" NEW RADIO LAWS 1 NOT NEEDED NOW FCC Chairman Tells House “No Time To Disrupt War Agency” WASHINGTON, June 17.— OB — Chairman James L. Fly of t h e Federal Communications Commis sion told the House Interstate Com merce committee today he saw no present need for legislation follow ing “the basic philosophy” of a bill the committee is studying. Tbe bill would rewrite much of the communications law and split the commission into two divisions, one to handle public communica tions and one to handle private communications. It would remove much of Fly’s existing authority. “I think there might be the need of some specific legislation, but not legislation that follows the basic philosophy of this idea, the Chair man said when members pressed him to center his discussion on the bill after two previous appearances during which he discussed the commission’s procedure. Fly gave no suggestion as to the kind of legislation that might be needed, but said the present was no time “to disrupt a war agency’’ and “effect a basic reorganiza tion.” “The best thing to do is to leave the problem alone in a period of stress,” he added. Fly accused "the big broadcast ers” of being the prime sponsors of the proposed new law and said' they were motivated by their ob jection to recent commission regu lations designed to break up “mon opolisitc controls” of broadcasting. He named the Columbia broad casting system, the National Broadcasting company and the Na tional Association of broadcasters as the groups that “blow the big wind and make the big noise,” and said that “every time one of these big broadcasters run into some thing he doesn’t like, he runs to Congress.” Asked if he included the Mutual Broadcasting system in the “big broadcasters” group, Fly replied “I don’t exclude any of the big” organizations. “On the whole,” he told the com mittee, “the broadcasting industry has done a very good job” and made “great contributions” to the war effort. The issue at stake, he said, was whether “all of the control” of broadcasting “shall be on strings pulled from New York” or whether individual stations, affiliated with the networks, should have more control over programs and pro gram time. 3 -V bix men trom Area End Recruit Training Recruit training has been com pleted by six men from this area at the Naval Training station in Norfolk.
