TEN FORMER LEJEUNE COMMANDER DIES NEW BERN. July 16. - Brig. Gen David L. S. Brewster. USMC, veteran of two world wars anu first commanding officer of toe Marine Barracks at New River now Camp Lejeune, died July_ 10 in Bethesda Naval hospital after an illness of several months. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon in the Fort Meyer chapel, followed by interment m Arling ton national cemetery. Honorary pallbearers included Gen. A. A. Vandegrift, commandant of the Ma rine corps, with whom General Brewster served at Lejeune. Born in Washington, General Brewster was commissioned second lieutenant in the corps in 1910. By 1917 he had qualified as air plane pilot, dirigible pilot and bal loon pilot and in World War I flew a plane in antisubmarine pa trol from a base in the Azores, being with the First Maiine Aero nautic company to go abroad. For service in Nicaraguan cam paigns he was decorated by that government. He had a.so served in Santo Domingo, Panama and China. After a year and a half as first post commndant at New Riv er, where he will always be asso ciated with pioneer work on that mammoth installation, he was transferred in April, 1943, to the First Marine Amphibious corps *nd went }o the Pac:fic theat'*. Ho was awarded the Legion of Merit for operations in the Mari anas. Later he became chief of staff of the administrative com mand of the Fleet Marine Force. Pvt. Jack E. Smiley Now In U. S. Naval Hospital Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Smiley, Pine Grove. Wilmington, have been m formed that their son, Pvt. Jack E. Smiley, who was severely wounded in June on Okinawa, has been evacuated to the U. S. Na val hospital at Mare Island, Cal. Pvt. Smiley entered the Marine Corps on October 25, 194“*. -V FIVE FACE DEATH MILAN, July 16—i./P)—Five Ital ian youths—all in their twenties— faced possible death sentences as their trial, the first of its kind m Northern Italy, ended today before an Allied military tribunal.

(International) WITH THE AEF Odd Jobs And Stuff I — By KENNETH L. DIXON OCCUPIED GERMANY— (/P) — When the public relations officer of the 84th Division heard of it, he practically broke a hamstring rushing to assign a reporter to cov er the occurrence. ' “You know how to handle it,” the PRO instructed. ‘‘It’s a dough boy dream job and that sort of stuff.” So the reporter hurried right over and located Pfc. Marcel Rhodes, Canton, N. C., who sure enough was standing guard over a well-filled German Winery. ‘‘How do you like your job?,” the soldier was asked. “Do you do much wine testing? What did you do to deserve this assignment” “I don’t like it,’ replied Pfc. Rhodes. “Furthermore, I consider it a drudgery and a bore.” “Ha, ha, that’s a good gag," chuckled the reporter apprecia tively, “now tell me what kind of wine you like best.” “None,” said Pfc. Marcell Rhodes, “I don’t drink.” A short, short story: The men who know most about discharge points in the 325th Field Artillery are the clerks in the personnel sec tion who have been adding and subtracting them for the guys in [ the outfit for several weeks. There [ is, however, not a single man in the entire section who has enough points to get out of the Army. Despite what they have always j said, it begins to look as though some of the boys aren’t going to try too hard to “forget all about it” in the postw’ar years after all. Many outfits already are form ing organizations for division, corps and Army reunions after they have returned to civilian life. They are drawing up charters and taking memberships, electing offi cers and selecting organizational headquarters. Plans generally call for one full i membership meeting a year with various smaller sessions for hand ling any problems which might arise, such as postwar legislation in which the outfit might be inter ested. Another interesting phase of postwar planning concerns division, corps and Army histories. Every body is writing one or has one written—and this correspondent personally does not want to be around when a couple of division historians get together to compare .notes. That is partly the result of read ing small booklet type histories which the outfits have been put ting out for the past several months and partly from consider able experience working wi'h first one division and then another. At this momet, I can name three separate outfits which admittedly were individually responsible for the St. Lo break through, five di visions each of which was the first to reach or break the Siegfried line, half a dozen which were the first to reach the Rhine, a similar number which were closest to Ber lin when the war ended or deepest into Germany, and I have long since lost count of the various out fits which finally stopped the Ger mans in the Ardennes break through. What is more, every one of them can prove it, too. -V REV. JOHN MACLEOD ADDRESSES CHURCH AUXILIARY MONDAY The Rev. John D. MacLeod, min ister to the Carolina Beach and Myrtle Grove Presbyterian church es, discussed yesterday before members of the Woman's Auxil iary of the First Presbyterian church of Wilmington at their July meeting, the various war services of the Presbyterians, and the Post war program of the Presbyterian Training School for Lay Workers at Richmond, Va.

McClammy, who died last week. The meeting was held at the Little Chapel on the Boardwalk, which is operated by the Wilming ton church. Following the meeting a picnic luncheon was held at the Wrights ville Beach home of Mrs. C.

Announcing the issuance of a building permit to the owners of the concern this morning, City Building Inspector Gilbert F.

Philip Morris Company Buys Only Leaf Supply NEW YORK, July 16.—OB—Al fred E..

T7 Proposed Meeting Stirs Lively Chinese Debate CHUNGKING, July 16. —(A5)— A proposal to seek postponement of a meeting of the Chinese National Assembly, set for Nov. 12 to in troduce constitutional government in China, stirred a lively debate at a session of the Peoples’ Po litical Council. Several members argued that fresh elections should be held for the National Assembly, which was chosen more than eight years ago. The Assembly origianlly was scheduled to meet in 1937, but the war intervened. During the debate, some Coun cil speakers cvriticized Gen. Sheng Hsih-Tsai, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, for his earlier ad ministration as Governor of Sin kiang Province. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek removed him as governor as a friendly gesture t.o Soviet Russia.

S. A Bluff (Continued From Pa^e Four) “Hitler looks tired, is determined and talkative. . . The winter months in Russia have borne heavily upon him. I see for the first time that he has many gray hairs. “What does the future hold? Rib bentrop is less explicit. Offensive against the Russians in the south, with the oil wells as political-mili tary objectives. When Russia’s sources of oil are exhausted, her knees will bend. Then the British conservatives, and why not Church ill himself, who is a sensible man, will bow to save what remains of their mauled empire. . . * * * What if the British, who are stub born, choose to continue? Airplanes and submarines, says Ribbentrop. We go back to the 1940 formula Eut it didn’t give results then, and was discarded. Now they pull it out again. . . “America is a big bluff. This slo gan is repeated by everyone, large and small, in the chambers and ante-chambers. It’s my belief that the thought of what the Americans can and v,i.i do disturbs them all. The Germans close their eyes in order not to see. . . “For France, tney reel more an fidence than friendship. Laval is unconvincing. The true spirit of the French is expressed more clearly by the typesetter who risked his life so the paper appeared with the name of Petain changed to Putain (streetwalker). . . Fuehrer Puts His Audience to Sleep “On the second day after lunch, when everything had been said, Hitler talked for an hour and 40 minutes without interruption. He omitted nothing: War and peace, religion and philosophy, art and histroy. Mussolini looked at his wristwatch. I had my mind on my own business. Only Cavallero (Ital ian supreme commander) pretend ed he was listening in ecstasy. . . Gen. Jodi (Hitler’s personal chief of staff) went to sleep on a divan, after an epic struggle. Gen. Keitel was staggering, but succeeded in keeping up his head. He was too close to Hitler to let himself go. “One does not see any physically fit men on the streets of German cities and villages. Women, chil dren and old men. Also foreign la borers. Slaves of the earth Edda (Ciano’s wife and Mussolini’s daughter), who visited a camp for Italian workers, found a man who had been wounded on his arms by the scythe blows of a brutal guard. She told Hitler, who staged a fit of anger and ordered all sorts of ar rests and investigations. It won’t change the course of events. * * * “Losses in Russia are heavy. Ribbentrop says 275,000 dead. Our Gen. Marras (military attache in Berlin) raises it to 700,000. With amputations, frostbite, and the se riously ill who won’t recover by the end of the war, the figure rises to 3,000,000. “British aviation is hitting hard. Rostock and Luebeck literally have been razed. Cologne has been hit heavily. The Germans strike back, but with less violence. It only part ly consoles the German population, which is accustomed always to give it, and never to take it back. It leads many of them, who have de vastated half of Europe, to weep about the ‘brutality of the British, who are making innocent Prussian families homeless.’ The serious thing is that they mean it. “The trip didn’t arouse much in terest in Italy. . . Everyone ex pected Hitler would announce an offensive against the Russians. In stead he started one against the German people (total mobilization, so-called).” (Tomorrow: Triumphal March through Cairo, is II Duce’s dream.) _V Belgian Parliament Will Convene Today BRUSSELS, July 16.— UP)— Prime Minister Achille Van Acker an nounced today after a four-hour cabinet meeting that parliament would be convened tomorrow to work out the next step in the im passe produced by King Leopold s decision that he would not abdicate nor return immediately to Bel gium. - Van Acker said that “due to the gravity of the situation” another cabinet meeting would be held tonight. Meanwhile rumors circulated that the King, through regent Prince Charles, had sent a mes sage to the Belgian people de claring that he wished to await the results of a general election before definitely making up his mind.
