Notification of the abandonment / camp Davis was received yes terdav morning from the offices ol Sen-tors Bailey and Hoey and from Representative Barden, who have „t in close touch with the situa S for the past several weeks ‘hjl„ (he future of Camp Davis bas been under discussion by War Department officials. The Army Air Forces, in discon C u ng it; operations at the camp, announced that its facilities would be offered by the War Department /. the Aimy Service Forces and Army Ground Forces for their use. j, neither of these groups takes ,-r the facilities there, then it vill be up for further disposition by the War Department. If some other branch should take over the camp, it was felt most likely that it would be the ground f| ’-ccs which perhaps might want ,, ‘fm retraining of troops that will be redeployed to the Pacific. However, informed sources in Washington, it was learned through the Star-News bureau there, are of the opinion that the camp will ‘ not be taken over” by any other branch of the services. At any rate, the future status of Camp Davis v-,11 probably not be decided foi im.Kt another week. The AFF announcement added that this consolidation is made possible by the fact that the load G; casuals and patients anticipated before V-E day exceeded the load actually produced by the progress of the war.” Eaiiy estimates of the probable load of patients at Camp Davis ranged as high as 20,000 wekly; v iiereas the peak lead reached at the camp did not exceed more than ],500 men, and the Air Corps offi cials decided that it would be more economic to absorb Camp Davis's operations in other camps design t-nd for the same purpose. The status of Camp Davis has been under discussion by War De partment officials for the past two weeks, and an inspection board from the Army Air Corps visited the camp a week ago to make a fi nal survey of the facilities there to determine the disposition of the camp. Early in the negotiations, offi cals of the War Department an nounced that the future of Camp Davis would be decided purely o ■ its military merits, and that their decision would not be influenced by any pressure from local author ities. A local delegation, head by May or Ronald W. Lane, went to Wash ington a week ago in an attempt to dissuade the Air Corps board from closing Camp Davis, but they were informed of the War department policy of judging the camp purely <n its overall military value. 30,800 WORKERS RETURN TO JOBS (Continued from Page One) at the Jersey Journal, Jersey City, and the Times, Bayonne, N.

While not named by Nimitz in the present action, the British fleet carriers Illustrious, Indomi table and Indefatigable previously have been listed as operating in the Pacific—against the Sakishima group of islands South of Okinawa. The Japanese, radio, quickly acknowledging that Tokyo was •un der heavy air assault, said' ten carriers were in the task force. No American ships were named, but Nimitz's communiques on the strikes of the past week have iden tified the carriers Lexington, Es sex, Independence and San Jacin I to; the new battleships Iowa. Mis souri, Wisconsin, Indiana, Massa chusetts and South Dakota: the cruisers Chicago, San Juan, Spring field, Atlanta and Quincy: and the destroyers Dehaven, Samuel N.

Norman Scott and Rerneyr (Since the Americans suffered no damage in their earlier strikes, lit. is fair to assume that all these named, and more, are on the pres ent Tokyo raid.) Probably 1,500 planes were en gaged. adding the British carrier strength to the 1,000-plus rating of the American Third Fleet carriers. Their primary mission probably was to attempt to find and destroy the remnants of the Japanese air force, but Nimitz’s brief announce ment, after receipt of flashed word that the assault was on, gave no details. Tokyo already has suffered the less of 53.6 square miies of the heart of the city from previous raids—principally from Superfort ress firebombs—but the low-flying carrier planes could be expected to locate and destroy remaining pinpoint targets considered worthy of attack.

(2) To improve distribution, with particular attention to “choking off black markets; (3) To pare down government and foreign demands and (4) To obtain supplemental pro duction and supplies in food pro ducing areas abroad, particularly in South America. Improvement in supplies of meats in 1946 will depend largely, the Secretary said, on this year’s production of corn and other live stock feed grains. He pointed out that present prospects indicate a short corn crop.

Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts, today opened a drive to block Army and Navy requests for uni versal military training. He asserted that a world agree ment to outlaw compulsory peace time conscription is the best way to preserve peace, and said he would introduce a resolution to morrow asking the adminstration to seek such an agreement through the United Nat ons Security Organ ization. His proposal was made while Congressional sentiment on the War and Navy Department re commendations still is uncertain. A special House committee on postwar military policy has en dorsed a program of universal training but regular legislative committee hearings arc not expect ed before fall. Committee Chairman Clifton A. Woodrum, D., Va., pointed that Martin was speaking of “compul sory service.’’ Martin called compulsory train ing an “incentive to war” and a burden to the country. “The system which has long been the practice of European nations has never prevented war,” he said in a statement. ‘It is al ways viewed with suspicion and fear by other countries, forcing them to adopt the same policy. It becomes an insupportable bur den, a constant drain on the peo ple of the world, and a further incentive to war.” “Carried a step further,” he said, “if all nations would beat i heir swords into plowshares and pruning hooks, that would be a grand thing. But as shown in our hearing, it is the unanimous and symphatic judgment of every one of our diplomatic and military leaders that our national security demands a highly trained citizen reserve militia. We cannot have a sufficient and adequate military establishment for our own security and to fulfill our commitments with a voluntary system.’’ Martin denied that his resolu tion would interfere with the main tenance of the military force need ed to safeguard national securi ty. He added that compulsory train ing would impose hardships on the people and would hamper recon version and development after the war. Such training, he said, “would result in greater restrictions over the lives and activities of our peo ple, would impose heavy burdens on them, causing greater taxes and profound changes in their way of life. “If a mutual understanding can be reached between nations and peoples, then the policy of gigan tic systems of universal compul sory military service should be eliminated. It would relieve the United States and all other na tions of the necessity to assume this great new burden at a time when we must build, reconstruct and readjust the world to peace. “In view of the world's hope of peace and ultimate destruction of the military power of Germany and Japan, an effort to eliminate compulsory military service as a policy of all people cannot come too soon.” -v Five Children Named For State Education RALEIGH, July 16.— UP) —State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Clyde A .Erwin, announced to day the names of five children of disabled war veterans who will receive educational benefits at colleges in the State next year. The children are Sara Lois Brown Jackson: Mary Ruth Car tr Greenville; Collette Jefferson, Belmont: Herbert Charles Mar shall, Jr., Rosehill, and Annie Belle Trott, Cullowhee. The children were selected by Dr. Erwin under an act of the 1941 legislature which provides for free collegiate training for five sons or daughters of veterans dis abled during World War I.

LaClair ap parently is in for mother - in - law trouble, and because of Bugs, the turtle. Mrs. L. R. Whitenead turned her prize pet of six-years standing over to her policeman son-in-law for safekeeping while she vacationed in Los Angeles. She left a set of instructions in his care, including the carefully timed eggs which augment his largely-insect diet, and the exercise that even a turtle needs. Her last words on departure were ■ to watch Bugs closely—especially when out for exercise. “He gets around awfully fast, she said. How true were those words La Clair learned last Friday, the 13th. He undertook to wash the family car while Bugs meandered in the yard in search of insects and ex ercise. “It seemed only a few minutes,’’ said LaClair. “But when I turned to look for him he was gone.’’ For three days, LaClair carried on his iiunt without official assis tance, aided only by the children of the neighborhood. Today he gave up and called po lice, as a private citizen. ‘-‘I’m willing -to pay any reason able reward,” he said. “My mother-in-law thought a lot of that turtle.” -V——— TRUMAN SUMMONS LAND TO POTSDAM (Continued from Page One) ident had played a leading part in putting Germany where he found it on his arrival Sunday. Flanked by two carloads of se cret service men and a halftrack filled with Army expert riflemen, with Secretary of State James F. Byrnes sitting beside him in his car, the President halted uefore the shattered, burned out shell of Adolf Hitler’s Chancellery. 1 talk ed with him when he halted. “It’s a terrible thing but they brought it on themselves,” he said. He looked up at the jagged remains of the balcony on which Hitler used to make his ranting speeches. “It's just a demonstration.” the President continued, as he looked at the unbelievable destruction stretching as far as he could see. “of what can happen when a man overreaches himself. “I never saw such destruction. 1 don’t know whether they will learn anything from it or not.” He said this as he looked at the listless, ragged Germans strumbl ing through the rubble which still litters the section of the city oc cupied by the Russians. People did not pay the Presi dent much^attention and when they did it was nothing more than a blank, sullen stare. The Pesident started his tour In the Southwest outskirts of Berlin when he inspected troops of the Second Armored Division under Brig. Gen. John C. Collier and presented a special citation to Company E, 17th Armored Engi neer battalion, for heroic work in building a bridge across the Rhine in seven hours. After driving slowly, standing in a halftrack, past 500 tanks, the President got in an open car and went into Berlin proper, past the shattered Berlin radio center and on to the heart of the British zone. Moving into the Berlinerstrasse, the President got his first view of the ruined government buildings, now merely rumbled areas, where heavy bombs and shells dislodged rocks and girders into the streets and onto the sidewalks. The pace of the presidential pro cession slowed on the Charlotten berger Chaussee, a broad avenue leading through the once beautiful Tiergarten, which is now litter°d with crashed planes, fire-blackened smashed tanks and parks of once magnifient trees transformed into ugly stumps by shell fire. At the end of the Tiergarten the President reahed the famous Bran denberg gate, the entrane to the Russian zone. Destruction here was worse than in any other section. Nearly all sidewalks were blocked' by debris. Russian flags were prominent or top of the battered, bombed out buildings and the President pass ed between two huge signs, on one side of the street showing the new Big Three, on the other showing the old Big Three including th(« la> President Roosevelt. : The President drove close to the gutted Reichstag, burned in 1933. -V ST.

ESTATE (Continued from Page One) miro Farrell with the recommenda- ! tion that it be accepted. It came amid new newspaper re ports of there being much more to the submarine surrendering than had been believed. Critica said it had “learned positively” that a local police agent notified Federal police sometime ago that two i- ii viduals had been landed from a rubber boat, (which presumably game from a submarine), near San Julian on the Patagonia coast. So persistent were rumors at the submarine had landed Nazi personages or arms before it put into Mar Del Plata last Tuesday and surrendered, that La Prenza urged “an energetic investigation”. It wanted to know if any person had been landed secretly and if the submarine had passed the place where the Brazilian cruiser Bahia went down after an explosion on July 4 with a loss- of almost 400 lives. The Argentine press was having a field day of speculative discus sion of the submarine and a major ity either were hinting or asserting j outright that high Nazis had been j landed on the coast of Patagonia where there are many German owned ranches. Except for two communiques, the government has been silent. The first announced the subma rine’s arrival and its surrender; I the second denied it had brought I high ranking Nazis to Argentina or J had sunk the Brazilian cruiser. | -_—V BCY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS -i COULDN’T BEAT DAD KEESLER FIELD.
