U. S. Marine Corporal Is Rescued By Admiral DENVER, June 20.—(iR)—Another Lexington survivor, Corp. Binford D. Cardinal, 20, United States Ma. rines, told on his arrival home to day of how he was rescued from bomb-churned waters of the Coral sea by no less a personage than an admiral. Corporal Cardinal related that he was bobbing in the ocean when Admiral A. W. Fitcn, commander of the American Task Force in the Coral sea battle, reached over the edge of a motor launch, jerked him out of the wa.er and tossed him into the bottom of the boat. “No, the admiral wasn’t a bit gentle about my rescue,” said Cardinal. “There were other men in the water and the admiral couldn’t stop to give me any per sonal attention.” 2 IT Mrs. Mickey Rooney To Return To Hollywood RALEIGH. June 20.— (3>) — Mrs. Mickey Rooney, who says there is no foundation to rumors she and her husband have saparated, will leave here tomorrow morning' for Hollywood. She plans to take an early train from Raleigh. The beautiful young actress who, prior to her marriage, was Ava Gardner, a North Carolina girl from Rock Ridge, has been here for a week with her sister, Mrs. ,T. A. Grimes. Rumors were heard earlier this week that she and Mickey had sep arated but this gossip she said was "silly.” USE LIGHTER OIL A heavy oil is a drag on the en gine, and more gasoline must be burned to overcome the drag. Light oils will give your engine just as much protection as the heavier grades. Light oils are used up more quickly, so it you switch to a lighter oil, you’d have to re place quarts more frequently—but1 you’ll save enough gallons of gas- j oline to make the switch worth-1 while. ' BIDDLE DISCUSSES U. S. WAR EFFORT Attorney General Speaks At U. S. Judicial Conference In Asheville ASHEVILLE, June 20.—<7P)—An address by Francis Biddle, U. S attorney general, featured this morning’s concluding session ut the annual Federal Judicial con ference for the Fourth circuit, which opened here Thursday. Many of the jurists attending joined in terming the conference, presided over by Chief Justice Har lan F. Stone, the most successful and significant in the 12 years the judges of the circuit have been meeting in Asheville. It brought here for discussions of judicial problems many of the most notec! minds in the legal profession. “There comes a time when the enemy will crack, physically and mentally; that time has not yet come, of course, but things are moving favorably for the Allies,” the attorney general declared. Devoting most of his address to t :e war effort as it concerns the Justice department, Mr. Biddle dwelt at some length on the prob lems of Aliens and propaganda. All aliens had already been clas sified, with reference to possible danger to the United States, before the war started, with the result that those classified as dangerous were under arrest within fou; hours after the President signed a special proclamation on the sub ject, the attorney general said. Through local alien boards tne cases of other aliens have been in vestigated to determine disposition. Pointing out that there will be an acute labor shortage this fall and that many aliens are skilled workers, Mr. Biddle remarked that “Hitlei has eight or ten miihors of people in countries he has can tured working in war industries, while we fear in this country to allow persons who have been resi dents for many years to woik in our industry.” The skill of many aliens may well be used in tne war effort, he indicated, but “when there is the slightest doubt, wc never take a chance.” CRIPPS PROMISES ATTACK ON HITLER (Continued from Page One) force to Europe in the teeth of German resistance. Nazi Marshal Erwin Rommel’s threat to Tobruk and Egypt, which thoroughly doused British hopes, also has had a profound effect on the British point of view. Many who talked optimistically a few weeks ago of opening a second front are now speculating on the necessity of concentrating British and United States forces in Egypt. The War office announcement that all civilians were being clear ed from the thickly settled villages and farms of the large area in East Anglia restored a strong tone, however, to “second front” talk. The announcement said the area was intended for “realistic train ing” for troops. But skeptical ob servers wondered if the army would deliberately have chosen a place so exposed to German aerial obser vance and bombing for pure man euvers. Having Effect (If this was part of the war of nerves, it apparently was having its effect. The German radio de voted the equivalent of columns of speculation from all points of the compass on the possibility of a second front. Nearly all of it pooh-poohed the possibility of an Allied invasion.) Cripps spoke at a mass meeting in Empress hall, which w’as pack ed by almost 7,000 persons gather ed to observe the anniversary, June 22, of the German attack on Russia. Included in the audience were Soviet Ambassador Ivan Maisky, Rear Admiral Alan G. Kirk, chief of staff of United States naval forces in European waters who represented Ambas sador John G. AVinant, and repre sentatives of all other Allied gov ernments. “With the help of the United States and its industrial forces ad ded to our own and the Soviet Union's productive resources, we should be able to launch a great and successful attack upon Hitler in the west,” he said. He warned against a premature venture leading to failure, how ever, and said “when we strike, let us strike hard and with de termination to march through to Berlin before we call a final halt.” “It may be sooner or later, though Hitler has apparently guessed that it may not be too far ahead. As we make our prepara tions, so no doubt, he will try to make his too, and this in itself may influence the time factor.” Then he added significantly: “This matter, as you know, was discussed with Molotov' (Soviet Commissar) when lie was in Ting la nd and I can assure you he knows much more about it than I can tell you.” -_V SCOTS FIND ANCIENT HUTS Huts within a round fort of mas. sive stones have been unearthed at Kildonian Fort near Argylle, Scotland. Pottery found shows that the buildings were inhabited in the Second century. The discovery is considered important because it proves that in Roman times the district was not barbarous. Photos Reveal U. S. Bombs Demolished Japanese Cruiser WASHINGTON, June 20.— OTi Bombs from carrier-based planes of the U. S. Navy virtually de molished a heavy Japanese cruis er in the Midway island battle, official Navy photographs dis closed today. Gun Turrets were twisted, plates were buckled, airplane catapults were blown to bits by the bombs which left the ship listing, fire gutted and wholly disabled during the battle in which at least 17 ene. my vessels were sunk or damaged. One gaping slit lust above the cruiser’s waterline gave 'evidence that a torpedo plane might have participated in the attack. Other jagged holes showed evidence of bombs detonating powder maga zines beneath the gun turrets. Just what was the final fate of the 8,500-ton cruiser of the Moga mi class and its complement of ] 850 men was not disclosed. But one naval expert said the damage was so severe that only by towing could it have been moved from the battle scene. The Mogami class cruisers first joined the Japanese fleet in 1936. They are armed with 15 six-inch guns; eight five inch anti-aircraft guns and 12 torpedo tubes. In ad dition they carry four aircraft launched from two catapults. The photographs were taken by ■ an enlisted man assigned to a car. rier. Their angle indicated they were taken from an airplane. 2 -V More than 10,000 lakes dot the Saint Maurice river valley in La Province de Quebec most of them the haunt of game trout. 2 N. Y.
