U. S. Construction Of Quarters For Retail Stores Advocated A recommendation that the Fed eral government construct quar ters for retail establishments to serve the five war housing pro jects of the Housing authority o£ the City of Wilmington around Greenfield Lake and lease them to private concerns and individuals has been made by a represents tive of the Federal Publis Housing authority, H. R. Emory, executive director of the local authority said today. The five projects, housing a total of 1,475 white and negro families, have been without com mercial facilities since their com pletion. The local authority has tried to interest private concerns to erect grocery stores, drug stores, a motion picture theatre barber shops and other community facilities on or near the projects for the p£st six months without success. Details of the recommendation for retail establishments on the projects have not been made pub lic. All projects are some distance from the shopping areas of the city, thus aggravating the trans portation problem here. No plans have been made fot retail establishments for the Mai fitt homes, 800-unit war worker housing project now under con struction near the shipyard, and for the duration dormitory ship yard worker project which will be erected near the Maffitt homes in the near future. BAWLED OUT AT HOUSE COMMITTEE HEARINGS ion three men sitting here in Washington are getting $1150 each a day, every day, for the first six months of this year, including Sunday, while boys are dying at Bataan and Corregidor and on the Lexing ton. Thus did Chairman Vinson of the House Naval Affairs committee castigate these partners of sales en gineering firm which made $600,000 in commissions from companies for whom they “secured” government contracts. They are, left to right: F. C. Nichols, A. F. Shirley, and F. D.

Nineteen other seamen were unac counted for. All 66 persons aboard the Ameri can cargo vessel torpedoed several hundred miles off the east coast June 28 sailed 250 miles in lifeboats to safety. An 11-man gun crew aboard waited for an opportunity to counterattack, but the U-boat re mained submerged until the ship went down. Fourteen passengers and 41 crewmen were included among those who reached land. The third American merchantman was torpedoed and shelled in the Caribbean June 28, with the loss of eight crewmen. Three were killed in the engine room and five others were fatally burned. The 39 survivors, who 45 hours later were rescued, said the subma rine commander appeared to be "not over 23 years old,” and that the en emy seamen were “a crew of boys.” Chief Engineer M. V. Walter, of Houston, Tex., related that the raid er surfaced a short distance away following the torpedoing and waited until the crew had abandoned ship before shelling her to the bottom.

S. S. Kalk, a sleek, fast hitting destroyer, slid down the ways of the Bethlehem Shipbuild ing company today. The second destroyer to carry the name, the ship was christened in honor of Lieut. Stanton Kalk who died from exposure after the destroyer Jacob Jones was torpe doed and struck by a submarine in the first world war. The Lieutenant’s mother. Mrs. Flora Stanton Kalk of Omaha, sponsored the warcraft. 3 -V—- j RUHR AREA RAIDED BY BRITISH PLANES Bombers Return Home Safely Despite Heavy Nazi Fight er Opposition LONDON, July 18—(£>)—A “small formation’’ of new British Lancas ter bombers blasted the German industrial Ruhr district in daylight today for the third successive day and winged safely home despite heavy German fighter opposition. A British informant said each of the four-motored planes carried several tons of bombs, but did not disclose the exact strength of the foray. Bad weather had kept the bombers grounded last night. RAF fighters also destroyed a German fighter off the French coast this morning. A single German raider dipping low over a south coast Englisn town today killed a woman and four children ar.d wounded about a dozen pedestrians with his ma chine guns. One bomb from the craft demolished a row of cottages. The air ministry announced a supply ship was left listing and on fire and another supply ship and two escorting anti-aircraft ships were damaged by an RAF bomber fighter attack on an enemy convoy off Cherbourg peninsula. One RAF plane was missing. -V Japs Moving More Men To Manchukuo Frontier NEW YORK, July 18— UP) —The New York Times says in a dis patch from Washington that re ports received in the capital from “usually reliable private sources in the Orient” indicate that Japan is moving more seasoned troops to the frontier of Manchukuo and Si beria. These reports, the Times says, coincide with a belief held in Wash ington that there was an under standing between Japan and Ger many that Japan would attack Rus sia if Germany captured some spe cific Russian objectives, possibly Rostov and Stalingrad. The Times also said that few in the capital would be surprised if Japan made an immediate attack upon Vladivostok. 3 HOLD EVERYTHING! JCOPR. 1942 BY NEA SgRWCE. INC. T.. M. REG^U. S. PAT.

Forget you were a taxidermist and those I chickens!” "* BUDGET BUREAU PROBE IS ASKED Senate Subcommittee Anxious For Investigation Of Waste In Government WASHINGTON, July 18— UP) — Declaring the Federal government should be put on “a streamlin ed all-out war basis,” a Senate subcommittee today urged an in vestigation c*£ the bureau of the budget and of committee com plaints that there had been a waste of money and energy on overlapping governmental func tions. Chairman Tydings (D-Md) of the appropriations subcommittee is sued a sharply critical report say ing the budget bureau not only had failed to carry out its legal duty to maintain a running check of the activities of the various de partments but was being used to encourage a policy of mounting federal debt. With reference to conversion of peace-time agencies to war work, the committee recommended en actment of legislation authoriza ing the Civil Service Commission to transfer employes from one gov ernment department to another, regardless of the employes’ per sonal wishes, in order to utilize their services ‘‘in the best interests of the war effort.” The report, issued after study of 2,200 questionnaires sent to the various federal agencise, asserted that “certain officials” of the Na tional Resources Planning Board as well as some officals of the Budget Bureau “have been and are yet carrying on very discreet, but nonetheless pernicimous, propagan da to the effect that there must continue after the war even great er mounting deficit spending on the part of the federal government than was followed during the de cade” just past. The committee named three men as leading proponents of a deficit policy: Dr. Gerhard K. Colm of the Budget Bureau: Prof. Alvin H. Hansen, consultant to the National Resources Planning Board, and Dr. Gardiner C. Means, “who seems to hold a sort of roving commis sion between the National Re sources Planning Board and the Bureau of the Budget.” The report characterized Dr. Colm as “an able and vocal ad vocate of the theory of continued deficits,” and suid that during the 1920’s he was a lecturer and professor of economics in Ger many. “The committee imputes no evil or unpatriotic motive to him,” the report contiued, “but it be lieves it is a matter of great sig nificance that a man of his point of view should be in a strategic position to shape the government fiscal policy.” Prof. Hansen, the report said, “is probably the chief exponent of the theories of Prof Maynard Keynes of England who, curiously enough, seems to have had an im portant influence on government fiscal policies.” (Keynes is a proponent of de ficit spending under certain con ditions.) -V FORMER JUSTICE SUTHERLAND DIES (Continued from Pag:e One) parents who settled in Utah. He studied at Brigham Young aca demy and the University of Michi gan and became one of the leading lawyers of Utah. Politically a staunch Republican, he served one term in the National House of Representatives and two terms as United States senator, and in congress was largely instru mental in the enactment of the Ju dicial and criminal codes. During his years in the senate, Sutherland was a close friend of iVarren Harding who appointed aim to the Supreme court in 1922. Legion Post Voices Sympathy To Widow Of British Sailor A letter of consolation has been mailed to Mrs. Benjamin Pratt, widow of Stoker First Class Benja min Pratt of the British Navy who was drowned here when he fell from a dock into the Northeast Cape Fear river Wednesday night, from Wilmington Post No. 10 of the American Legion, who partici pated in the services for the sailor Friday afternoon. The letter follows: “Mrs. Benjamin Pratt, “Hartlepool, England. “Dear Mrs. Pratt: “We have just returnef from the grave of your husband where he was buried by his own church at the hands of his comrades. His grave was covered with flowers. “The American Legion was privileged to have had a part in the service. We who went through the last war, we who saw the gal lant go know that nothing which we say can, in the least, ease the anguish which is yours at this deep hour. We extend our sinceres* sympathy. “May the knowledge that this community honored him as it would have one of its own comfort you. May the knowledge that he rests in a community which holds in high esteem the British people comfort you. May the knowledge that we shall reverence his resting place as that of one who gave his life in defense of our shores com fort you. “May your heart which has no place but for grief today be filled in the tomorrows with a pride which nothing can take from you He has not gone in vain. Only by such as he will our countries be preserved. “The American Legion esteems him in his valor and it hopes for you courage for the future. "Sincerely.
