WILMINGTON FIRM
GOES OVER QUOTA
Sprunt Companies Exceed
Community Chest Sub
scription Early InDrive
Glowing returns seem to be the
order of the day, as Wilmington’s
business firms start turning in
early reports. Alexander Sprunt
and Son, Wilmington Terminal
Warehouse. Champion Compress
Company turned in the largest
oversubscription reported to date,
when that firm reported 190 per
cent of its quota.
Close on the heels of this report
is a partial report made by the
Raney Chevrolet company report
ing 130 per cent of its quota, with
more coming in.
Two other firms, the Werthheim
er Bag company in the Industrial
and Wholesale Division and the
LaMode Deluxe store in the mer
cantile group reported 100 per cent
quotas.
Associate campaign chairman,
the Rev. Walter Freed said last
night, "Wilmington firms appar
ently are out to do their bit in
this first all-out United War Chest
campaign. These early reports
certainly are gratifying to the
committee, and we urge all firms
who have been invited to partici
pate in the Unit account plan,
where they handle their own com
munity chest campaign within
their organization, to accept their
quotas as soon as possible, and
get their own campaigns under
way. We have found employee
groups most enthusiastic about
this drive, and by giving them an
opportunity to participate in your
own firm campaigns, they have
the privilege of aiding in this
campaign.
All firms were invited to attend
a series of group meetings held
this week, where the entire plan
was outlined. Firm heads who
were not able to attend will be
contacted directly by a commit
teeman, and asked to participate
in the unit plan.
Nearly a hundred of these firms
have already accepted quotas, and
the remainder are urged to do so,
so that their individual campaigns
can get under way at once, ahead
of the huee Sales Army drive
slated to open next week.

The current German offensive

Units from five divisions, led by

The Germans were held until

GOODS TO AFRICA

would do more to cement good
relations than any number of Al
lied proclamations.
Throughout the winter to come,
these dispatches said, supplies
pouring into North Africa would
piovide a promise to the enslaved
peoples of Europe what to expect
when the Allied invasion of the
Continent begins.
Secretary of Agriculture Wick
aid has repeatedly said that “food
will win the war and write the
peace.”
There was some speculation
here that the President’s order
might be an indirect bid to the
French fleet, supposedly still oft
Toulon, France, to come over to
the United Nations' side. Supplies
v”; uld presumably be given to it
and its men.
Stephen Early, White House sec
retary, said arms would be sup
plied to the Army, Navy, Air
,01'ces and citizens of the occupied
areas to carry on the fight against
our common enemies.
Meanwhile the Office of War In
formation listed a number of vital
foods and materials captured by
the American forces in North
Africa and predicted German
stomachs and production would
suffer as a result.
Part of the predictions were
based on studies by the Board of
Economic Warfare, but OWI also
said that the German controlled
radio Toulouse had complained
publicly about the same type of
losses.
The radio station was quoted by
OWI as saying that American oc
cupation of North Africa would
cost Europe, particularly Ger
many, 50,000 sheep per year, thou
sands of barrels of wheat and
flour, 80,000,000 kilograms of olive
oil, 2,000,000 tons of phosphate,
2,000 tons of rubber, and quanti
ties of cocoa, coffee, tobacco, dates
and bananas.
The Board of Economic Warfare
commented that the loss of phos
phate, a fertilizer, would have an
important effect on food produc
tion in Germany. This agency also
said that the Axis formerly re
ceived small but important quan
tities of cobalt, manganese, molyb
denum and antimony from North
Africa.
“There can be,” OWI said, "lit
tle doubt that loss of these supplies
will hit Nazi war production ser
iously. More, the loss will hit
German people in the stomach—a
good way to break morale.”

STALIN ANSWERS
CASSIDY LETTER
(Continued from Page One)
authorized English translation fol
lows:
“Dear Mr. Cassidy:
“I am answering your questions
which reached me on November
12th.
“One. What is the Soviet view
of the Allied campaign in Africa?
‘Answer. The Soviet view of this
campaign is that it.represents an
outstanding fact of major impor
tance demonstrating the growing
might of the armed forces of the
Allies and opening the prospect
of the disintegration of the Italo
German coalition in the nearest
future.
me campaign ill reiuies
once more the skeptics who af
firm that Anglo-American leaders
are not capable of organizing a
serious war campaign. There can
be no doubt that no one but first
rate organizers could carry out
such serious war operations as the
successful landings in North Af
rica across the ocean, as the quick
occupation of harbors and wide
territories from Casablanca to
Bougie, and as the smashing of
Italo-German armies in the west
ern desert being effected with
such mastery.
“Two. How effective has this
campaign been in relieving pres
sure on the Soviet Union and what
further aid does the Soviet Union
await?
"Answer. It is yet too soon to
say to what an extent this cam
paign has been effecive in reliev
ing immediate pressure on the So
viet Union. But it may be con
fidently said that the effect will
not be a small one and that a
certain relief in pressure on the
Soviet Union will result in the
nearest future.
“But that is not the only thing
that matters. What matters first
of all is that since the campaign
in africa means that the initiative
has passed into the hands of our
Allies, the campaign changes rad
ically the political and war situ
ation in Europe in favor of the
Anglo - Soviet - American coali
tion; that that campaign under
mines the prestige of Hitlerite
Germany as a leading force in the
system of Axis powers and de
moralizes Hitler’s allies in Eu
rope: that the campaign released
France from her state of lethargy,
mobilizes anti - Hitler forces of
France and provides a basis for
building up an anti-HitlerFrench
army;
That the campaign creates con
ditions for putting Italy out of
commission and for isolating Hit
lerite Germany; finally, that the
campaign creates the prerequisites
for establishment of a second
front in Europe nearer to Ger
many’s vital centers which will
be of decisive importance for or
ganizing victory over Hitlerite
tyranny.
“Three. What possibility is there
of Soviet offensive power in the
sast joining the Allies in the west
to hasten the final victory?
“Answer. There need be no
ioubt that the Red army will ful
fill its task with honor as it has
oeen fulfilling it throughout the
war.
“With respect, isigned) J. Sta
lin.”

HOUSING CENTER
SLATED FOR AREA
(Continued from Fare One)
'reighton revealed that the def
nition of ‘war worker’ for hous
ng purposes will be broadened
:onsiderably. It is expected that
his action will serve to alleviate
;he critical housing conditions for
nany classes of people formerly
lot eligible as tenants in war hous
ng because the term war worker
was restricted to those working in
;he shipyards or serving in the
irmed forces.
Creighton told the committee
hat he hoped organization of the
War Housing Center would prog
ress wih sufficient sped that ap
plications for conversion can be
received by the middle of next
week. Clarence Walker, homes use
specialist from the NHA Regional
Dffice in Atlanta, will arrive in
town Monday to assist the Hous
ing Authority of the City of Wil
mington in organizing the War
Housing Center. Administration of
the War Housing Center will be
through the local authority.
The method of operation of the
conversion program was explained
at a special session of the Wil
mington Real Estate Board, called
by Frank G. Harriss, chairman,
by H. A. McNeely, regional man
ager of the Home Owwners’ Loan
Corporation, from Atlanta. The
HOLC will act as an agent of
NHA in making the lease for the
properties, converting them into
additional living units and for the
operation, maintenance and oper
ation of the properties for the pe
riod of the lease.
Following McNeely’s discussion
of the program and its method of
operation, Hugh MacRae, promi
nent Wilmington real estate oper
ator, described the program as
“sound and sensible’’ and called
upon the board to lend its fullest
cooperation in making it success
ful.
James E. L. Wade, state sen
ator-elect and member of the Real
Estate Board introduced a motion
that the board give its “unquali
fied endorsement and support to
the Homes Use Service of the Na
tional Housing Agency” . The mo
tion was seconded and passed
unanimously.

French Reported Fighting j
Nazi Troops In Tunisia
(Continued from Page One)
responding to Admiral Darlan’s
appeal, but it was apparent that
French hatred had precipitated
the battle with the Germans and
this -was viewed here as favorable
to the Allied position. Algeria and
Morocco already have swung most
ly into the Allied fold and French
dock workers are aiding the Al
lied advance. U. S. and British
airmen also were said to be tak
ing a heavy toll of Axis airmen
trying to stem the surge toward
Tunisia.
Gen. B. L. Montgomery, com
mander of the Army chasing Mar
shal Rommel said the enemy had
been “completely smashed,” los
ing at least 30,000 prisoners and
vast stocks of war material. He
named 12 Axis divisions, four Ger
man and eight Italian, which he
said were no longer effective fight
ing formations, and ordered his
clean-up forces onward W’ith the
words “good hunting to you all.”
Unconfirmed reports said also
that Axis ships were setting sail
from Bengasi, port on the Libyan
coastal hump which lies 400 miles
across the Gulf of Sirte from Trop
oli itself.
The amphibious American-Brit
ish armies under Brigadier Gen.
K. A. N. Anderson and American
Major General Charles W. Ryder
presumedly were straddling the
Algerian-Tunisian frontier when
the first Nazi transports began
taking off from Tunisian airports.
Six of the big planes were shot
down by RAF fighters operating,
probably, out of Malta. At the
time they were intercepted they
were neaded due north.
Across Libya to the east, the
British Eighth Army was reoccu
pying the scarred battlements of
Tobruk, which it lost so tragically
last June 22 with 33,000 of its
garrison.
ihe fleeing Germans left To
bruk’s stores afire. Berlin boasted
they had removed or destroyed
everything of value. The Rommel
columns, so relentlessly cut apart
in Egypt, were pounding pell-mell
toward the Gulf of Sirte.
It seemed probable they would
attempt no stand short of El Ag
neila,' in a bottle-neck of the Gulf
shore.
El Agheila is about 150 miles
southwest of Bengasi by the road
around the Gulf. It is 450 miles
east of Tripoli.
But the Anderson-Ryder armies,
measuring from the western Tu
nisian border, are only some 400
airline miles northwest of Tripoli.
The radio at Rabat, which is
American - occupied, reported:
“Axis ships have left Bengasi,
probably after evacuating the
port.”
Thus it appeared that Rommel
would cut across the coastal hump
below Bengasi to El Agheila
On leaving Tobruk, he already
had fled more than 300 miles from
the British Eighth Army. He
must travel somewhat in excess
of that distance to get to El A<*
heila, with the British always at
his heels.
There was no immediate wav
of telling whether the air-trans
ported Germans who left Tunisia
were men whom Hitler had count
ed on to hold up the Allied ad
vance from Algeria, or whether
they were demolition experts en
charged with the destruction of
installations which might have
been of use to the Allies on ar
rival. 1
In any event, the news strength
ened confidence m Allied circles
hat the Germans will have very
httle chance of keeping the Alex
ander-Ryder armies out of the
French Protectorate.
No more than a few thousand
Germans are believed to have
reached Tunisia, at any time.

FLEET OF FRANCE

tion here, the Germans now have
at least 13 divisions in previously
unoccupied France, so that it
would have been a simple matter
for them to have taken over the
fleet by force.
“But Hitler knows if those ships
put to sea with orders to fire on
the Americans their crews would
refuse to load the guns,” a source
here declared.
Without their French crews, it
was pointed out, the three battle
ships and supplemenary cruisers
and destroyers composing the
force would be of little immediate
value to the Axis. Months would
be required, it was believed, for
German crews to familiarize them
selves enough with the complex
machinery and armament to fight
the vessels effectively.
The reported presence at Tou
lon of Nazi Grand Admiral Eric
Raeder was believed associated
with the ticklish situation confront
ing the Nazis.
The German radio has confirm
ed the fact that special provision
was made for handling the Toulon
area and that its defense would
be left to the French.
