NORWEGIANS WANT TO FIGHT ENEMY $ub Victim Tells Gathering Here Of Desire Of Countrymen “Norwegian merchant seamen are eager to take the hand gren ades you make in your factories across the water to your sons and brothers who are ready and wait ing to throw them in the fuehrer’s face,” Kaare Kaarstad, Norweg ian seaman, told a gathering at the Temple of Israel Sunday night. Kaarstad, representing the Nor wegian Bureau of Information, drew a picture for his hearers of the part free Norwegian sailors and their vessels are playing in furthering the Allied cause and in preserving all that is left of free Norway for the use df that coun try when it regains control of its government. The speaker began with the re counting of his own story—48 days aboard a lifeboat in the Atlantic, with ships appearing tantalizingly near, yet always sailing away; with sharks and whales following "alongside: with only raw sea meat to eat after 21 days. Hope had vanished when the friendly boat picked up the nine half-starved men. Kaarstad then told the story of the part of the Norwegian mer chant marine in normal days. As the third largest merchant fleet in the world, with modern equip ment second to none, the merchant marine brought into the Norweg ian government its largest source of income. After invasion of his homeland by Germany, to the last boat, the Norwegian merchant fleet failed to surrender to the Nazis, in the face of substantial monetary bribes. Dictating the policy of Norweg ian shipping at the present time is the Norwegian shipping and trade mission, active in branches at London, New York, and Mon treal. At the end of 1942, Kaarstadt said, 370 Norwegian ships had been lost; at this rate of loss, he predicted, there will be no more vessels at the end of 1945, unless America — through lend-lease— helps to replenish the supply of boats more rapidly than has been the case so far. “Our seamen are worried,” Kaarstad emphasized. “We know that there can be no free Norway without an adequate merchant fleet.’” The Rev. James Lawson pro nounced the invocation and the benediction. Greetings were ex tended to the visitor by Lieut. Commander R. W. Thresher, of the port of Wilmington, and the speaker was introduced by the Hon. William G. Broadfoot, vice consul for Norway in the State of North Carolina. William G. Rob ertson, organist, played the Amer ican and Norwegian national an thems. In charge of the program was Rabbi M. M. Thurman, rep resenting the Community Forum which sponsored the feature. Mr. Kaarstad answered ques tions from the audience at the conclusion of his talk. worktoIncrease IN N. C.

The Germans threw up a concen tration of night fighters over the approaches to their vital Industrial areas, returning pilots reported, and ground defenses were said to have laid an "intense barrage” about the targets. At Lorient, however, the anti-aircraft fire was described as only moderate. Obituaries K. R. HARTSFIELD K. R. Hartsfield of Atlanta, Ga., brother of the late W. R.

M. broadcast began, for other participants in the dis cussion carried on without a break in the debate. Removed from his place by the microphone, he was given a stimu lant by his physician, and police administered oxygen before he was removed to a hospital. He died at 11:46 P. M. Woolcott was conscious when removed. He had had a heart attack on Friday ac cording to his physician, Dr. Ed mund de Vol. r uneral arrangements awaited the arrival tonight of William Woolcott, a brother, from his home in Cantonsville, Md. Wool cott was a bachelor. Just before collapsing at the broadcast, Woolcott had said: “My answer to ‘is Germany cu rable?’ would be no. Not by any human; means, not by any of the physicians who are gathering for the purpose. I should say, possi bly she might be cured by the pro cess of times as the Vikings were. ... “I do think that it’s a fallacy to think that Hitler was the cause of the world’s present woes. Ger many was the cause of Hit ler.” . . . Shortly after making that state ment, Woolcott wrote a note to Dr. Harry D. Gideonese, president of Brooklyn college, who presided over the broadcast, saying: “I’m feeling sick.” Dr. Gideonese helped him to the lobby and onto a lounge. Dr. de Vol was called, and he in turn called a heart specialist and the police for oxygen. It was nearly two hours later before the author was taken to a hospital, a trip he made sitting in a chair in an am bulance while police continued to give him oxygen. At no time fol lowing the attack did his physician give him more than a 50-50 chance to recover FLYNN APPROVAL APPEARS LIKELY (Continued from Page One) Virginia; Tunnell, Delaware; Re publicans, Johnson, California; Capper, Kansas; Vandenberg, Michigan; White, Maine; Ship stead, Minnesota; Nye, North Da kota; Davis, Pennsylvania; Pro gressive, Lafollette, Wisconsin. Most Democrats were expected to support Flynn’s appointment and it seemed likely all seven Re publicans would oppose it. La Follette declined to commit him self. Twelve would be a majority if all the members voted. However, Glass and Johnson were not pres ent at hearings last week. If they do not return for Wednesday’s meeting, they can vote by proxy. Clark has announced that un less Flynn relinquishes his post as Democratic national committee man from New York he will vote against the confirmation. Flynn said during the hearings that he had “tentatively resigned” from the party committee membership but did not elaborate. Besides Clark and La Follette, the attitude of three more Demo crats—George. Gillette and Van Nuys—remained a secret even to their colleagues.

Hunt For Rommel In Full Cry As British Drive On (Continued from Page One) the British navy’s intervention at Zuara. (Morocco radio reports describ ed Zuara as a scene of the ut most confusion, with the harried Germans and Italians attempting desperately to withdraw by sea as well as land, and said light British naval forces which bombrded the port early yesterday were contin uing their assault in conjunction with fleets of bombers and fight ers and fast striking forces of tanks and motorized artillery. (Rome officially described the movement westward to new posi tions as continuing “with order and regularity.” (The Moroccf) radio said Allied ships already were steaming into Tripoli harbor. Cairo dispatches said the Tripoli population was quiet and, though the harbor and docks were badly damaged by Al lied bombings and Axis’ demolition squads, the destruction was not as great as had been first reported.) The Cairo communique said that Allied air action had eased up slightly after 72 hours of intensive hammering at the fleeing German and Italian columns because the targets had thinned out. An Allied hedaquarters commu nique issued here indicated that macarthurIeeT JAPANESE DEFEAT (Continued from Page One) trable mountains and jungles of Papua and the reaches of the sea, transported field hospitals and other base installations to the front, supplied the troops and evacuated casualties. “For hundreds of miles bomoers provided all-around reconnaissance, protected the coast from hostile naval intervention and blasted the v/ay for the infantry as it drove forward. “A new form of campaign was tested which points the way to the ultimate defeat of the enemy in the Pacific. “The offensive and defensive power of the air and the adaptabi lity, range and capacity of its transport in an effective combina tion with ground forces represent tactical and strategical elements of a broadened conception of warfare that will permit the application of offensive power in swift, massive ! strokes rather than the dilatory and costly island-to-island advance that some have assumed to be neces sary in a theater where the ene my’s far flung strongholds are dis pel sed throughout a vast expanse of archipelagoes. “Air forces and ground forces wc-re welded together in Papua, and when in sufficient strength with proper naval support, their ' indissoluble union points the way i to victory through new and broad i ened strategic and tactical con ceptions.” ,, REMOVES FURTHER DISCUSSION WASHINGTON, Jan. 24— (£>)—» Qualified military authorities here saw General Douglas MacArthur’s significant statement today as re moving finally any further discus sion of an island-by-island strategy for victory in the Pacific and re legating it definitely to the discard. Talk of such a strategy sprang up after MacArthur, on taking command in Australia, promised to roll the enemy back from the limits of his conquest in the South Pacific and eventually to recap ture the Philippine islands. Observers here interpreted inis statement to advocate a strategy of striking at Japan’s key bases di rectly, out-flanking or literally fly ing over intermediate and less im portant bases. The naval high command is un de: stood to hold a somewhat simi lar concept of the way to victory in tne Pacific. MacArthur’s reference to ‘air forces and ground forces welded together with proper naval sup port” was interpreted as an ar gument by the General against a separate air force and as express recognition of the need for closest cooperation between military and naval forces in the amphibious war fure of the South Pacific. MacArthur, it was recalled, nad long argued the case for air and giound coordination down to the lust detail. As chief of staff at the War Department he promoted the creation of a general head quarters airforce of the Army v/bich was> in a sense the forerun ner of the present autonomous army airforces organization.
