LIONS HEAR PLEA FOR ARMY NURSES Stressing the need for more B and women an the Army, ?U‘Helen Madden of the Wilming AririV Recruiting Station, yes ton..,v told the Wilmington Lions’ ‘fr at their weekly meeting that h Ration’s wounded were com ing home faster than they could be taken care of. , an effort to impress mem of the club, she exhibited lures taken of wounded sailors Pnd soldiers beginning their long 3 from the battle fronts, point ing out the "expression of hope” •hat they were going home. Many of the boys were without arms sad legs •perhaps you are wondering •hat the W'AC has done with the ?rg, number of school teachers have taken into the service,” h said, and told the group that j„e5e women, specialists at teach were now training the large number of maimed and hurt boys t0 back into civilian life with out losing their self respect. Lt. Madden spoke of the numerous ways these teachers are showing the' boys how to make their own way even though many have no hands with which to work. ■ In this war, 97 out of every 100 of our wounded can be saved if they reach hospitals in time,” she ;aid. stressing the excellent medi cal care and good doctors which the Army provides. However, she emphasized the lack of nursing, pointing out that to maintain pro per medical care, it takes one nurse for every 26 hospital beds. Lt. Madden said that the Army has taken men waiting for reas signment and made nurses of them. ''This,” she said, ‘‘causes resentment on the part of these boys. "I have talked with some of these men,” she disclosed,” and they were bitter toward me and my sex. They told me they were disgusted with the work because nursing was a woman’s job.” Pamphlets were passed to mem bers of the club, and Lt. Madden asked that the members of the group continue to uphold public opinion on behalf of the women in service and the work they were accomplishing. Dr. Herbert Codington read a telegram which had been forward ed by the club to Senator Josiah W. Bailey and Francis Biddle, at torney general of the United States, in support of William B. Campbell for the office of Judge of U. S. District Court for the eas tern district of North Carolina.

Japanese Premier Predicts Early Invasion Of Nippon WASHINGTON, March 8.— (U.P>— Japanese Premier Kuniaki Koiso, warning that the United States soon may invade Japan, said to day that imminent events would decide whether the country sur vived or perished. He told the Jap anese to sacrifice everything for the war. ‘•Events of the immediate future will decide if the nation of Nippon is to survive or be eliminated fronA this earth,” Koiso told a meeting of Japan’s new ‘‘sure victory” po litical party. ‘‘Throw away all personal inter ests and ambitions of all kinds. Rise as one to save our very homes, our homeland and the im perial throne from ihe present crisis. ‘‘The enemy is anxious to short en the war. He may launch with OAK GROVE AREA TO GET CHURCH The moving of a Wilmington church to the site of Oak Grove Chapel, to provide a Presbyterian church for the people of that com munity, is expected to be begun early next week. W. M. Dickson, chairman of the Planning commit tee of the Wilmington Presbytery said today. Mr. Dickson reported that he had given the “go ahead’’ signal to the people of the community at a meeting Tuesday night. It was explained that the congregation would do the moving itself. In a brief account of the history of the new church, Mr. Dickson said the Wilmington Presbytery told the Oak Grove congregation several months ago that it would get a lease on the lot from the New Hanover county School Board. After doing this, a build ing owned and used by the Pente costal Holiness group and located on City-owned property at 305 North Second street was bought. The $1,100 building was bought through the Planning committee, of which J. R. Benson is treasurer. The funds were supplied by the Special Home Missions and regu lar Home Missions funds, he ex plained. The chapel will be under the care of the First Presbyterian church but actually will belong to the Wilmington Presbytery, the chairman said. C. D. Parker is chairman of the Building commit tee, comprised of L. E. Hart and T -NT Unnai r -V Nakina Child Is Burned To Death in Corn Crib WHITEVILLE, March 8.—Bon nie Ray Canady, four year old son of G W. Canady, a soldier serv ing in Great Britain, was burned to death yesterday afternoon m a corn crib at his home in Nakina. The child’s dog died with him when flames enveloped the corn crib so Quickly that the boy s mother, Mrs. Lola Mabel Canady, who rushed from the house near by was unable to extricate him. It is believedjthat the chield was playing with matches, since no fire was burning anywhere in the vicinity of the crib. In addition to his parents, the child is survived by two brothers, Wayne Canady and William Can ady. Funeral services were held to day at 4 p. m. at the Happy Home church. -V Tobacco Warehouse Destroyed By Fire TABOR CITY, March 8.—Fire, believed to have been caused from a defective curing system, de stroyed the “Big Three’ tobacco, warehouse here last night, it was learned. The warehouse, which was owned and operated by B. Alton Garrell, was currently used for storing and curing sweet potatoes. The Whiteville fire department was called, and the blaze still was in progress at 10:15 p. m. The amount of damage was not esti mated. -V More than 2,000,000 Coast Guard Port Security identification cards lave been issued in New York. out delay a reckless, direct and violent attack against the main land in the near future. The entire nation must be fully prepared for such an eventuality. “Japans 100,000,000 people must renew their determination to crush the enemy and shoulder responsi bility for prosecution of the war— one and all, young and old, man and woman, with all their spiritu al and material resources. “Only by making such an all out effort and complete sacrifices of all things they possess can the present national crisis be over come.” Koiso’s speech was broadcast by Tokyo and recorded by the United Press in San Francisco and Lon don. The Tokyo newspaper Asahi, In an article also broadcast by To kyo radio, said: “There can be no doubt of the American aim at invasion of the Japanese homeland. Before em barking they will create air bases along the line, Bonins-Iwo-Ry ukyus-Formosa .... presumably the invasion of the Japanese islands will be undertaken in a not far future.” The Bonin Islands and Iwo lie south of the eastern part of Ja pan. The Ryukyus run down from the southwest end to Formosa. A fuller version of the Asahi ed itorial recorded by the Federal Communications Commission said the Japanese command had com pleted plans to meet an invasion and “looked forward with the greatest confidence” to “dealing the enemy literally an annihilating blow, thereby securing decisive victory at one stroke.” Probably, Asahi said, an Inva sion force would be smashed at sea but if any invaders reached shore they would be attacked on the beaches. If they got inland, the newspaper continued, they would be wiped out there. DEAD YANK CITED FOR BRAVE DEEDS KELLY. March 8.—A Presiden tial Citation and a Purple Heart medal, awarded posthumously to Sgt. DeVane Colvin, who died Au gust 17, 1944, of wounds received in action, were received here re cently by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Colvin. The holder of two previous awards, the Silver Star, given for gallantry and outstanding service in combat, and the Bronze Star, token of heroic conduct on the field of battle, Sgt. Colvin entered the Army September 12, 1941. He went to the British Isles in 1943 and participated in the invasion off France. The Presidential Citation read: “In grateful memory of Sgt. De Vane Colvin, who died in the serv ice of his country in the European area, August 17, 1944. He stands in the unbroken line of patriots who have dared to die that free dom might live and grow and in crease its blessings. Freedom lives, and through it, he lives, in a way that humbles the undertakings of most men.” Sgt. Colvin’s regimental chap lain wrote to his parents: “Your son was performing his duties in a most courageous and excellent manner, and was held in high es teem by all who knew him. Burial services were conducted by ah Army chaplain of his own faith and interment was in a Unitg.fi States military cemetery located in Brittany, France.” -V PAROLES ISSUED RALEIGH, March 8.—(TP)—Gov ernor R. Gregg Cherry today issued paroles to Albert Mallard, who was sentenced in Pender county, Octo ber, 1944, to twelve months’ im prisonment for non-support, and to Charlie Hyatt, sentenced in Co lumbus county, November, 1944, to twelve months for affray. -V BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS EYEWITNESS TELLS OF RHINE BREACH (Continued from Page One) New York City, during a brief chat in a command post on the east bank of the Rhine, “but we are pretty sure Burrows was the first man to set foot on this side of the Rhine.” The first troops began swarming onto the German-held side of the river at 3:50 p.m. Wednesday af ternoon. (Accounts from the west bank said 4:30 was the crossing time). Since then the flow of men and material has proceeded unin terrupted despite intermittent shelling which had grown heavier late today. The crossing site was nearly out of range of small arms fire today. Germans in a village near the fast-moving operation were watch ing in wide-eyed awe as the Am erican military might poured across the Rhine throughout the day. Their consternation was exceed ed only by the natives in towns across the river who had made no move to evacuate even though Cologne had fallen and the First and Ninth Armies were drawing up along the Rhine on a broad front. One of the first men to greet me on the opposite shore was a chaplain from Henryetta, Okla., William Gibble. Everyone else was so busy fighting this morning that he went with a German medic into a town on the east bank of the river and accepted the sur render of the entire populace and some 400-500 wounded Germans in a hospital. It was a fitting retribution for the soft voiced Oklahoman, who was captured by the Germans dur ing the Ardennes battle and heifi prisoner for six hours before an American counterattack released him. The fighting men of the Army which forced the D-Day bridge head in Normandy were wild with joy at the success of the Rhine crossing. Pvt. John Motsinger, Pittsburgh, Kans., was playing a French harp. “Want one?” he asked. “I got millions of ’em.” His pockets were bulging. Prisoners were coming in so fast there was no one to take care of them. Many were wandering about disarmed, but loose, and they remained wary of the .88 fire which was dropping spasmodi cally. The unluckiest individual was a German naval oficer who came chugging down the Rhine in a barge at an embarrassing moment. Half a dozen Americans leveled guns at him and his hands came up. For several hours everyone was too busy chasing the Germans on the bank to fool with those in the water and the barge admiral in gold braid and blue serge, and his crew, just stood in the boat with their hands up. Maj. James Baker of Columbia, Mo., a medic who superintended evacuation of wounded back across the river, said casualties “were FIRST CHOICE OF MILLIONS None faster. None surer. St. Joseph Aspirin—world’s largest seller at 10c. Economy size, 100 tablets for only 35c. Why ever pay more? Why ac cept less? Get St. Joseph Aspirin. extremely light” for the operation. Most of the killed or wounded were due to shells which came whistling into the crossing site. X made the crossing to th east bank with Pvt. John Getz of Stras bourg N. D., whom I had met walking along a road leading to the west bank after my jeep be came entangled in a traffic jam. As we approached the river bank an 88 shell landed squarely, in the middle of the street, killing one American soldier and wound ing another in the leg. Everyone hit the dirt. A couple of medics crouching low ran to the side of the wounded man lying in the gut ter writhing in pain. We reached the other side with out any more rough stuff and took shelter in a huge tunnel in the side of a rock precipice that towers on the eastern bank of the river when the 88s opened up again. -V WEATHER .

Two Negroes Arrested In Robbery of Soldier Two Negroes, who allegedly robbed a Bluethenthal Field serv iceman of $340 in cash early Thursday morning, were appre hended yesterday afternoon by City police, booked on charges of highway robbery, and put in jail in default of $2,000 bond each. The serviceman, Cpl. James C. Roache, of the 337th Service Group, reported to police about 4:35 a. m. yesterday that he was walking by the housing project on north Fourth street while on his way to camp, when two negroes came up to him, one grabbing and beating him, while the other took his money. Roache's description of the two men was sufficient for officers to identify them as Henry L. Mills, 38, longshoreman, and Samuel Jenkins, 82, laborer. Both men have previous records, po lice said. -V Abandoned Anto Placed In Storage By Police A 1044 Ohio licensed automobile, which had gathered numerous po lice tickets during the three days it has been parked in front of the Cape Fear hotel on Chestnut street, was placed in storage yes terday by City police, it was re ported.
