The estimated revenues was off set, in the report, by items total ing $17,100 and made up estimated loss of $16,500 as a result of re duced water rates and $600 by re duced sewer rates. Mr. Nichols told Council that the estimated annual cost of services and maintenance totals $143,977 of which $20,600 would go for fire pro tection; $16,700 for police protec tion; $33,000 for waste removal; $24,000 for street maintenance; $6, 000 for parks and parkways; $7,700 for street lighting; $6,000 for septic tank maintenance and $22,977 for debt service. Mr. Nichols, in presenting the report, summarized the submi d figures and estimated that the total annual cost of servicing the pro posed ifew areas would be $143,977 as against a total estimated annaul income from the areas of $143,344, or an excess of expenditures over income of $633.

MACARTHUR MEETS H1R0H1T0 TODAY (Continued from Page One) President Truman said in Wash ington that an Allied epaations committee would decide that fai* of fleet units that suived the on slaught of American air and sea power. A general shakeup was oreder in the central liaison office to rid it of domination by the Foreign Of fice, which worked hand in glove with the Army in Tokyo’s military expansion over Asia and Pacific islands. The liaison office is the agency through which the oc cupation force controls the con quered nation. One of Nippon’s noblemen de manded that the shakeup go all the way up to the Empeor, re moving him completely from politics. Marquis Yoshichika Tokiga’.jp said this was the only way tc eliminate the ruling clique which still dominates fhe nation and pave the way for a democratic government. Under Tokugawa’s proposal the Mikado would remain only as the country’s spiritual leader, as in the days of the shotguns. Allied demands for sterner con trol of Japan were reported from London. Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov of the Soviet Union as sertedly termed American occupa tion too soft and sought establish ment of an Allied Control Com mission. President Truman said he had heard nothing of such complaints and that MacArthur’s occupation organization was approved in ad vance by the Big Four. A Chunkging spokesman an nounced that Chinese occupation forces would join Americans in Japan. Emperor Hirofcito’s expected visit to the Supreme Allied Com mander would give him his first real sight of American armed forces. Since the occupation, he hasn’t been out of the palace com pound, guarded 24 hours a day by U. S. first cavalary division troops.

CONGRESS STARTS ON TAX MEASURE (Continued from Page One) approved a measure to let a Sen ate-House committee study control and use of atomic force. The full Senate will have to decide whether that’s the best way to handle the problem. 3. Communists. The House com mittee looking into UnAmerican activities questioned Earl Brow der, former president of the Com munist party. It found out that Browder is “unemployed” and •toesn't know whether the party now has a tie-up with Moscow. Browder objected to a “smash campaign.” Chariman Wood (D Ga) barked: ”We’ll have no insinuations of a smear campaign by this commit tee. 4. Treaties. Foreign Relations began hearings on a constitution al amendment to let Senate and House approve treaties by major ity votes. Now the Senate alone does it by a two-thirds vote. Miss Anna Lord Straus, presi dent of the National League of Women Voters, said some Senators voted against treatiss ‘ presented bv the opposite party, regardless of the merits of the treaty.” That, bellowed Chairman Connal ly tD-TexL hits all 96 senators “right in the face.” She withdrew it. 5.

GENERAL PATTON TO MAKE REPORT (Continued from Page One) erning Germany, Smith said Eisen hower “does not tolerate that any subordinate be in deferene to this policy. “The policy calls for: 1. Complete denazification, even though some efficiency is lost in the process. 2. Placing the burden of care of displaced persons on the Ger mans as much as possible. ‘3. Reestablishing the German interior economy as is necessary for every day living. 4. Removal of excess machin ery—breaking up of war machin ery. “5. Breaking down any vestiges remaining of German military am bitions.’’ ‘If Patton is unable to give a satisfactory report," Smith said, “it is not known what disciplinary action Gen. Eisenhower would take.” Smith asked correspondents t o observe very closely during the coming week to see if marked changes for the better were not taken to improve political control in Bavaria. The advant of the “Prussian needle gun,” a breech-loader, in the middle of the 19th century, caused one of the quickest and se verest defeats in history. With the aid of the breech-loading rifle, Prussian forces, in 20 minutes of fiehting repulsed an Austrian at tack causing the loss of 279 offi cers,’ 10,000 enlisted men and 23 field guns.

Judge Carr signed an order mak ing the company liable for taxation on a 60-40 per cent bases, or on materials used in the construction job after the three-year !aw went into effect on June 30, 1937.

Mr. Cox, who has not been op erating his properties this year, said this leisure time has afforded an excellent opportunity to study the attendance trend at the resort. ‘‘I have seen a great many per sons, in car after car, come to Wrightsville Beach, all prepared to stay several days, only to leave within a few hours because they were unable to find a place to stay.” The supply of rooms, he con tinued, has not been great enough to meet the demand, not only on week-ends but during many waefc days. youthdeclares BROTHER KILLED (Continued from Page One) ment, now demobilized. Smallwood, who directed the tak ing of depostions from inmates oi the Belsen camp after the British liberated them in April, told the court his interpreters were former inmates. He said the names of SS (Elite Guardi and other camp ad ministrative personnel were often inserted when deponents recogniz ed photographs, but did not know names. Defense counsel has attacked the credibility of witness, alleging dis crepancies between depositions and oral testimony. Today’s move , was regarded as presaging new ef- i forts to challenge depositions which the prosecution has entered as , exhibits. J SURVEY OF FLOOD DAMAGE STALLED (Continued from Page One) barns. Tom Keith, a passenger in the Pennington Flying Service plane piloted by Burke Rehder, former ly lived in the Kelly section and was there during the 1908 flood. Mr. Keith said, in his opinion, the waters are much higher now than in the 1908 disaster. He point ed out several houses he was fa miliar with and they were partly covered. Acres upon acres of corn were covered with only the tops of the stalks showing above the water. Practically all the crops in the Kelly section are destroyed. Interesting to watch from the air was two army amphibious tanks scampering along the flood ed highways and dodging jn and out of the ‘yards’ of the many houses. These tanks have saved much of the belongings of the resi dents and rescued hundreds oi persons marooned in their homes. Highway Damage Placed At $2,000,000 RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 26 —CD— With flood waters steadily receding in eastern North Carolina, experts of the State Highway and Agricul ture Departments continued today a study of damages which result ed from this section’s worst flood in more than 35 years. A tentative report compiled by the State Highway Commission al ready has placed ramage to sec ondary road, highways and bridges at from $1,500,000 to $2,000,00, while agriculture department offi cials say crop damage has been “severe.” Officials of the two departments agree, however, that it will be sev eral weeks before official estimates of damages can be made. Several thousands of acres of crop lands in the lower areas bordering the Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar and Roa noke rivers still are inundated. An official weather-crop bulletin today by the Agriculture Depart ment’s Weather Station said the bad crop effects of the recent trop ical storm are feavier in the central Piedmont counties than in the flooded eastern areas. ‘‘The reason is that the corn and hay down on wet ground, resulting from strong winds and rain, ag gregate a far greater percentage of crop land than the flooded acre ages along the eastern river bot toms, where relatively little crop land was covered. “In fact, cotton is grown on up land in most cases, and tobacco has already been harvested. The most damage has resulted to corn and hay. River farms suffered heavily, however, but fortunately these are relatively few in relation to county-wide conditions,” the Weather Station report said. Meanwhile, flood crests on the Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar and Roa noke rivers had been reached at Elizabethtown, Goldsbopj, Jtinston, Williamston, and other points in the upper regions of eastern Caro lina. Only one state highway still remained closed. This was U. S. 117 running south from Goldsboro to Wilmington. Highway engineers reported the road was from one to 10 feet under water resulting from the overflowing Neuse-two miles south of Goldsboro. The route probably will be reopened tomor row, however, and all other state highways were in normal oper ation. ARGENTINA UNDER MILITARY RULE (Continued from Page One) the 1 feral police with inflicting b: Mties on political prisoners, fled to the Uruguayan Embassy for refuge. Antonia Santa Markina, another conse:. ative party leader, defied police when they came to arrest him. He told them he would not move froi: his home. Catholic lead er Manuel V. Oi inez, an organizer of the Sep* 19 ‘March for Constitu tion and Liberty,” was not home when police called. New arrests were being reported ' Ecsema, acne pimples, simple ringworm, tetter, salt rheum, bumps (blackheads), and ugly broken-out skin.

KIWANIS HEARS EXTENSION STORV (Continued from Page Onef* but he added he had heard doubt expressed that they able to carry out these services0' Salesmen here stated they r' supply cast iron pipe within thr" weeks, and valves in six v. . from the time of ordering ment needed to install the'sysw. is already here in the city r Manager A, C. Nichols renlied . this. As for the question of L ° ' shortages, he declared that no ficulty is anticipated, since man' men will have been released from the service by the time the work is scheduled to begin, January ] “The city plans to install water and sewer mains, and hydrants for j fire protection promptly just a, fast as we can get the work done' Nichols said. Questions from club members residing both in effected areas and in the present city proper, brought out the fact that taxes on the*, services begin January, 1946, con current with the beginning of -h. tax year. However, Aaron Gold, berg, pointed out that payment of 1946 taxes is not due until OctoK of that year, and by that time, the city should have provided the serv ices as contracted. He backed up Manager Nichols’ statement by de daring that the City Fathers most certainly will do all in their power to get the improvements complet. ed, since it is their public esponsi bility to do so. No immediate increase in city taxes will be occasioned by an nexation of the new territory, i| was said, because costs of such action have already been recogniz ed in the present city budget, All members participating in the lively discussion agreed that the extension will benefit the City of Wilmington’s national standing by increasing its population census figure, and making the city eligible for a fairer allocation of state and federal grants. Luther Raney pointed out that expansion will aid in soliciting in dustry to come here, and will place Wilmington in the class of cities to which she should belong. Mr. Taylor said, "It is 30 years since Wilmington last extended her borders. In 1920 I believe the popu lation was approximately 33,000, and in 1940 it was the same figure.'1 He said this failed to give a true picture of the city’s growth. j As benefits available through payment of city taxes, Walker Tay lor listed the following: fire and po lice protection, collection of gar bage and trash, maintenance of streets, lower insurance rates and an opportunity to take part in op eration of the city government through voting and office-holding activities. Eric Tipton of Kingport, Tenn, was introduced as a visitor, and it was disclosed that he has a re cord of 19 1-2 years’ regular week ly attendance at Kiwanis Clubs meetings. | Air Base Plane Crashes North Of Field Tuesday Public Relations officers an nounced yesterday that a P-47 fight er plane based at the Army Air l se, Bluethenthal field, was de molished Tuesday afternoon when it crashed three miles north of the airfield.
