7 PENDER COUNTY MEN TO BE CITED Seven Pender county men whc at 1 o’clock. Presentation .01 tne citations will be made by Colonel J. C. Shively, commanding officer of the air base. . The pilot was unconscious, but was rescued by the first seven men to arrive on the scene of the crash. Those to be honored are Ivey McGee. Ted Kalner, Edward Raynor, J. S. Raynor, Pete Braak, Rav Griffon and W. F. Shaw. They rushed into the burning wreck, disregarding the danger* of exploding gas tanks and machine gun ammunition, and opened the plane’s cockpit to pull the uncon scious pilot to safety. The heat from the fire was so intense that the men had to take turns at the dangerous task. The citations from General Hunt er reads: “My attention has been called to an act of heroism on your part which resulted in saving the life of a pilot of a P-47 airplane which crashed near Rocky Point, N. C., on Oct. 6. “The courage shown by you and your companions in breaking into the burning airplane, cutting the pilot free and removing him to a point of safety was outstanding. That this action was taken despite the threat of exploding ammuni tion and the acute danger of burst ing gasoline tanks, makes it all the more praiseworthy. “Soldiers received medals for similar acts of bravery on a battle field. I regret that I cannot give you one for action on our home front, but at least I can assure you that you have demonstrated the best traits that we have come to expect from all Americans, sol dier and civilian alike.’’ General Hunter said that due to the efforts of these men, the pilot has fully recovered from his in juries and is now back on duty. _ it_ HALLSBORO MAN KILLED IN CRASH (Continued from Page One) The coroner of Brunswick county was notified of the death and the body was taken to McKinsey funer al home in Whiteville.

Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the McKenzie chapel in White ville. Burial will be in the Lake Waccamaw cemetery. T~ _A Slump In ‘The Master Race* A [ RESIGNATION ( t(U. S. Army photo from NS A) ; These four German prisoners in the war camp of the U. S. : 5th Army at Castel Del Rio, Italy, have skidded far down | the line from the once lofty title of ‘‘Master Race” bestowed 4 upon them by Der Fuehrer. They prove that war, mud ' % and grime can be their downfall. f RIVERS AND HAR30RS MEASURE SCHEDULED (Continued from Page One) reaches the floor, the senator said that he had taken every precaution to protect the North Carolina intevssts. “I am vitally interested 'n deepening the channel and im proving the Port of Wilming ton, not only for Wilmington’s welfare but as a matter of state pride,” he declared. Sen. Bailey said he planned to lead a fight Monday to strike a section of the flood control bill, which provides for $10, 840,000 flood control and power dam on the Yadkin river near North Wilkesboro because the dam ‘‘would make a permanent flood covering 13,000 acres in Wilkes and Caldwell counties— more than are ever affected by floods along the Yadkin.” Before the Y’adkin-Pee Dee project is passed, he said, he wants to have hearings on it before the Commerce commit tee to allow citizens in the af fected areas of the state, who have written hundreds of let ters of protest, to be heard. The complete project envisions expenditure of $105,840,000 dur ing the postwar years for de velopment of the river system with the North Wilkesboro pro ject first on the list. Sen. Bailey stressed that he was ardently in favor of flood control but very much opposed to flooding North Carolina homes and farm lands “merely for the purpose of creating power.’ A subcommittee of the Com merce committee will hold hearings on the St. Lawrence Seaway project—to provide a water thorofare for seagoing ships from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes—on Tue^Jay to determine If the measure is a treaty or not. Sen. John H. Overton (D-La) who will handle both flood control and rivers and harbors on the floor, is the leading opponent of the St. Lawrence project and predict ed last week that any fight over its adoption would not “kill’ rivers and harbors. He said he would call the rivers and harbors bill up Wed nesday if the Senate has dis posed of flood control by then. Included it the rivers and harbors bill is $675,000 to in crease the 30-foot Cape Fear River channel to Wilmington from 300 to 400 feet and to in crease the width of the turning basin from 600 to 800 feet; $790,000 to deepen the river channel from Southport to Wil mington to 32 feet to allow more heavily laden steamers to enter the harbor; $73,000 to pro vide a 25-foot deep channel in the Northeast Cape Fear river, 200 feet wide, from Hilton Bridge to a turning basin one and one-fourth miles up river; $9,000 to provide a channel eight feet deep and 90 feet wide from the inland waterway at Wrightsville Sound to Mason boro Inlet; and $24,000 to con struct six mooring basins along the inland waterway from Morehead City to Seabreeze. IT 18 HURT IN COAST LINE DERAILMENT (Continued from Page One) among the estimated 350 passen gers resumed their journey on an other train. Among the injured was conduc tor A. C. Grissom of Savannah. Most of the injured were in tht dining ear. This coach plunged or an embankment and came 1o res1 on its side. w. P.

Marshal Tito himself was report ed to have been chosen to be pre mier of a new Yugoslav govern ment of 28 members representing both the national liberation move ment and the exiled regime. Dr. Ivan Subasic, premier of the Lon don government .is expected to be one of the three regents. According to this report, a min ister of state will be named for each of the six Yugoslav provinces, somewhat corresponding to the pre-war governors. Apparently Ti to and Subasic ir. their recent ne gotiations—which resulted in com plete agrement on the future ad ministrative machinery for Yugo slavia—considered it wise to pro vide for representatives of Serbia, Croatia, Hercegovina. Montenegro, Slovenia and Bosnia with high sta tus. "Well-informed quarters say the new Yugoslav set-up might be an nounced in two weeks. Tito already is in Moscow, and Subasic' is expected to arrive mo mentarily. It seemed likely that the announcement would come from Moscow after Tito and Su basic have talked with Premier Marshal Stalin. The two years of crises which have dogged the exiled Yugoslav government appeared to have reached an end. Since Subasic be came premier he has had many talks with Tito. _v Captured Nazi U-Boat Is Turned On Enemy LONDON, Nov. 18.—UP)—In case the Germans still are wondering what happened to their submarine U-570 back in August. 1941, they are not going to like this. The sleek new vessel, fitted out with all the latest secret equip ment, was captured by the British and sent out under the flag of the Royal Navy to hunt down more Nazi submarines. It had several successful en gagements, destroyed one sister U-boat and scored hits on several other ships, the admiralty disclosed today. -V BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS GROUP FINDS LIVING COSTS UP 30 PER CENT (Continued from Page One) (BLS) index did not undertake to be all inclusive, but was aimed to measure the prices of supplies go ing to make up the family budget of big city dwellers with an aver age income of $1,524, based on a 1934-36 survey. He expressed the opinion that for those with low incomes the in crease in living costs had been higher than 30 per cent but praised the technical competence and care cf those preparing the BLS. “No substantial criticism of the BLS methods has survived the searching studies presented to this committee,’’ he said. It might be well, Davis conclud ed, to make periodic broader stud ies than are included in the BLA statistics but he said that was a matter for study by the budget bureau and others. And he recommended that some name other than “cost of living’’ ir^ex be chosen for the BLS fig ure—a recommendation on which labor and industry members agreed. The report is expected to weigh importantly in the President’s con sideration of labor's demands foi a change in the Little Steel for mula, but the major report on that issue is yet to come. The War Labor board currently is working on a general report on wage policies grcwning out of de mands by the CIO United Steel Workers and other CIO unions for increases above the limits of the Little Steel policy. This will deal with wages in relation to living costs, maintenance of future pur chasing power and other factors but will not make recommenda tions. It is expected to be several weeks at a minimum before il reaches the White House. Davis accepted, in preparing his report, most of the finding by a technical committee headec by Dr. Wesley C. Mitchell, direc tor of research of the National Bu reau of Economic Research. Mitchell’s group agreed tha there was some substance to th< labor argument that the BLS inde: failed to reflect quality deteriora tion, disappearance of cheaper con sumption items, declines in specia sales and increased under-report ing of prices actually charged. It was on the basis of such "hid den increases” that Davis conclud ed 3 to 4 percentage points shoult be added to the PLS index. Sayinj there Vas evidence the increasi had been greater in small citie: tnan in large, he said another 1-1 percentage point should be addet if the index was to reflect cost of workers in both small and largi communities. -V BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Herman B. Long announce the birth of a son, Herman Brantly, Nov. 15, at the Marion Sprunt an nex. M’LEISH URGES PRESS FREEDOM WASHINGTON, Nov. 18— UPl — Eternal vigilance is nowhere more necessary than in defense of free dom of the press, Archibald Mac Leish, librarian of Congress, de clared today. •• “It must be fought for and won in every new generation, against the new enemies which, in every generation, beset it,” he said in a statement signalizing the opening of a “Freedom of the Press” ex hibition at the library. “American history has seen nu merous attempts, recently as well as in the past, to force libraries and bookstores to remove certain publications from circulation. Such practices are fatal to a free library system, to a free circulation ot knowledge and of ideas and there fore to a free culture.’’ The library put on display, as typical of books which have been subject to censorship in the United States, these works: The Merchant of Venice, once banned from Buffalo, N. Y., high schools. Candide, once barred by United States customs as obscene. Tom Sawyer, once excluded from the children’s room in the Brook lyn, N. Y., public library. Aurora Leighj composed, accord ing to contemporary Boston opinio the library said, of “the hysterica] indecencies of a disordered mind.” -V INDUSTRIAL USO LISTS PROGRAM Featuring the program this week of the Industrial USO club, 223 Princess street, will be a Thanksgiving dance to be held to morrow at 8 p.m. Virgil West anc his orchestra will furnish the mu sic'.

JAYCEES AID WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS (Continued from Page One) Hanover County Tuberculosis and Health association plans to contin ue to provide X-ray examinations, which make possible the early dis covery of the disease; support an ever-increasing health education program against tuberculosis, which kills more persons betwen the ages of 15 and 35 than any other disease; aid in providing re habilitation service for discharged tubercular patients, assisting be yond the point where the county welfare assistance stops; furnish additional public health nursing; promote mass survey of apparent ly healthy groups; campaign to ward the establishment of a coun ty sanatorium. It was pointed out that the New Hanover county death rate from tuberculosis is above the state and national average. Deaths per 100, 000 persons on a national scale are 40.0; state, 39.1; and county, 47.1. There were 26 deaths in New Hanover last year, which means approximately 250 cases of the dis ease. The health association found only a few over a hundred of these cases. Negro deaths are four times a? great as white deaths. The bonds, signed by Kendall Emerson, national managing direc tor, and Dr. John C. Wessell, coun ty chairman, read: ‘‘This certifi cate represents a subscription to the campaign against tuberculosis in your community. The holder of this certificate is guaranted that the money it represents will be spent to hasten the eradication of tuberculosis and to promote the health of the people of this com munity. In witness whereof the National Tuberculosis association and its affiliated state and local associations conducting the cam paign against tuberculosis through out the United States of America have caused this certificate to be signed for them by the managing director of the National Tubercu losis association.” Seventje-?ive per cent of the mon eys derived from the sale of bonds and stamps will be kept in New Hanover county. Twenty per cent will be given to the state associa tion and five per cent will go into the national fund.
