COMMISSIONERS (Continued From Page One) missioners last week, from which e tax rate and expenditures for the county budget could be ar rived at. His suggestion was for a 75 cents tax rate, a 15-cent increase over the 1946-47 rate. A motion by Commissioner Trask to accept auch r rate lost for a lack of a second. Figures presented by Smi*h also ahowed an estimated county bud get of $1,273,762 as compared with $1,206,195 a year ago. No action was taken on that matter. 75 Cent Rate The auditor explained that a 75 cents tax rate should reasonably take care of expenditures for the coming fiscal year providing tax es are fully paid and emergencies oo not develop. The 75 cent rate provides 2,7 cerns to take care of the $10 a month salary in crease. Commissioner J. M. Hail sug gested that a reserve should be allowed in the new budget for re pairs and improvements for the Community hospital. The building is “badly run down’’, the com missioner, said, and unless im provements are made now it will be necessary to erect a new build ing within another two or threo years. Chairman Addison Hewlett rec ommended the adoption of the $61,500 item for maintenance of schools ss sought by Superintend ent Roland. That amount com pares with $49,000 allocated in the 1946-47 appropriation. However, Commissioner Gard ner urged that Superintendent Poland be called before the com missioners to explain in detail amounts in various items which he seeks in his school budget. The superintendent is out of the city for a few days.

KUKLUXKLAN COES TO CHURCH Invitation Extended By Board Of Deacons Of Georgia Church ATLANTA, July 28—UP)—Mem bers of the Ku Klux Klan went to church Sunday all decked out in fneir robes, Dr. Samuel Green, grand dragon of the association of Georgia Klans. disclosed today. Dr. Green said approximately 100 Klansmen attended night ser vices at the Inman Yard Baptist church upon invitation of the min ister, whose name he said he could not recall. "Some of the men asked per mission to wear their robes. I granted a permit and out they went. That’s all there is to it,” said Dr. Green. The Inman Yard church is list ed in the directory of the Georgia Baptist Convention as having a membership of 248 in 1946. The pastor was listed as the Rev. Ed. E. Peek. A telephone call to his home brought information that he is still pastor, but that he w'ould not be home until Thursday night. He could not be reached elsewhere for comment. Green said that, while no church meeting had been scheduled for the immediate future, "we’re get ting lots of invitations now.” C. W. Walker, vice chairman of the church’s board of deacons, said, however, that the invitation to the Klansmen came from the board of deacons and was extended by the chairman, M. Ivey. "We just wanted them to pay us a friendly little visit,” Walker sa^d, adding that "some wore masks and some just W'ore their robes.” The churchman said also that some of the Klansmen were mem bers of the Inman Yard church and had expressed a desire to have members of the Klan attend a ser vice. Asked what the sermon was about, Walker replied, "It was just a good gospel sermon based on the Bible.” Walker also said the church was filled Sunday night to its 400-seat capacity. CLAY BATTLE (Continued From Page One) can zone, feel they know what is best for Germany. They resent policies formulated here, many of which must be compronjised with otlier international factors. On the other hand, the people here responsible for German policy long have found Clay difficult to deal with and feel that he has a tendency to ignore directive. The latest flareup probably will spur Marshall’s efforts to place the American Military govern ment under the State Depalt rr.ent. but many practical problems stand in the way. Two years ago at Potsdam, President Truman decided on di vided authority. He agreed then that the State department should be responsible for formulating policy for AMG in Germany, and the war department should admin ister it. Eisenhower Bucked But as early as October, 1945. the Army was trying to get rid of its job'. Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower, then in charge in Germany, wrote the President then that al though Mr. Truman gave the Army the job he also had agreed at Potsdam on the desirability of turning it over to civilian au thorities as soon as possible. Eisen hower suggested that the transfer be made not later than June 1., 1946. Former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes blocked the whole idea on the basis that the State department was a policy making body and not an admin istrative one. Marshall disagrees with Byrnes and said recently that he thought the German job was one for the State department rather than the army.

They have been partic ularly interested in the huge peach orchards that dot this sec tion and the large watermelon and cantalope farms that fringe the area. According to R. W. Galphin, New Hanover county farm agqnt, who left here for Wilmington this afternoon after staying with the campers since Saturday, the trip has been educational as well as recreational for the coastal fu ture farmers. “The boys have had the oppor tunity of seeing how farmers work in a section different from their own" he said today. “It is my hope that in coming summers they may have the opportunity to camp in the mountains and other areas of this and adqoining states so that they may observe differ ent methods of agriculture in dif ferent sections. I am sure they would be given a broader view point of their chosen occupation.” NINE HUNDRED (Continued From Page One) curity men to get the ship into deep water away from shore. The Security men ordered the crew to abandon ship and, man ning it themselves, secured it to a tug and started towing it away. The flames became unmanageable and the ship was towed into the great harbor and left to its fate. Robert ordered a gunboat to fire into it, to explode it then, but eight shots failed to do the job. When the ship blew up late’-, casualties were inflicted on many curious persons who lined the waterside watching the fire, dis patches said. The blast smashed waterfront buildings and threw wreckage over the city.

While inspection of the sleek group or racers, a majority spon sored by leading Wilmington busi ness houses, service clubs and fraternal organizations, was in progress, a group of sober-faced but anxious lads and their parents waited in an adjoining room for the committee’s decisions. Each car was checked for length, height, wheel base, steering. BULLETIN The inspection committee completed their work short ly after midnight and announc ed that the following cars will have to have minor alterations made before being eligible for the race. The following will be per mitted to make alterations to their cars at the Lake Forest school this morning between 8:30 a. m. and noon: Orange Blossom, Todd Furniture Co., Sally Ann, Newton Dry Clean ers, Batson Grocery, Coca Cola, Ike Strickland, Knights of Columbus, MacMillian and Cameron, Royal Crown, Wil mington Furniture Co., Sports Center, Anderson Sporting Goods, Civitan Torpedo, Fish Lines, Shews Drug Store, Wil liams Dry Cleaners, Rushers, Typewriter Inspection Com pany, Wilmington Travel Agency and the Tide Water Power Company.

But their decisions were unavailable to the waiting group never-the-less. Earlier in the evening, a group consisting of the Advisory com mittee and appointed race officials met informally at the YMCA to iron out last minute details of Wednesday’s parade and race pro gram. After a 40-minute confer ence, everyone agreed that this year’s Derby should prove a great er thrill than ever for the thous ands of Wilmingtonians expected to view the big event. Shortly before press time, a re port from the Inspection commit tee indicated that the official list of starters may be available for publication shortly before noon to day. CHURCH PAYS RENT —ONE RED ROSE MANHE1M, Pa. CU.R)—'The parish of the historic Zion Lutheran Church has paid its annual rental for the church chapel—one red rose. The rose was paid to an heir of Baron William Henry Stiegel. who donated the chapel to the church 162 years ago. Its presentation was made by Owen J. Roberts, Kim berton. Pa., retired United States Supreme Court justice, at the annual “Feast of the Roses.” The traditional ceremony dates back to the rental set by Baron Stiegal generations ago. The deep ly religious baron founded Man heim, and built the chapel. He designated the rental would be “one red rose, in the month of June.” The 1947 rose was accepted by W. Jones Hughes, Westfield, N. J., a direct descendant of th§ original baron. Baron Stiegal came to America in 1750. He was a manufacturer of glassware. Priceless collections of the Stiegal glass now are held by various museums. U. S. And States Reap Gas Tax Harvest CHICAGO, (U.R)—Uncle Sam and the 48 state governments did a landoffice business in gasoline and motor fuel gross tax collections last year.a The overall total was $137, 000,000, according to a study made by the Federation of Tax Adminis trators. That figure represents a 33.9 per cent increase over 1945 and a 13.7 per cent increase over the b'illion-dollar auto fuel tax total in 1941, the previous record year. Biggest factor in the increase was the lifting of war-time driving restrictions. Another wras increase in gasoline tax rates by four states during 1945 and by two in 1946.

Greece, July 28.— (U.R)—The "International Brigade’’ which was repeatedly to have par ticipated in the recent guerrilla "invasion’’ of Northwestern Greece appeared today to be nothing but the mythical product of a Balkan propaganda war of nerves. I have just returned from a truck, mule and hiking trip into the mountainous Albanian-Greek fron tier region which included an acci dental venture into Albania. I could find no trace of any interna tional brigade nor any soldier or civilian who had seen or heard factual reports of such. there was ample evidence to support the Greek contention that the guerrillas were armed and sup plied by Albanians anei Yugoslavs but I could find nothing to back up their brigade theory. The sources of these reports in cluded the Greek general staff, War Minister George Stralos and Gen. Napoleon Zervas, minister of public order. “Foreign elements” were reported among the invaders; guerrilla prisoners “admitted” that the invasion forces included brig ade elements; and at least two battalions of “foreigners” were bat tling on the side of the guerrillas. Witnesses agreed that the invad ers numbered no more than 2.000 and were led by a group of Greek guerrilla leaders well known jn these parts. , One commander was reported to have spoken poor Greek, and to have been treated with consider able respect by the others. Another report said a boy was killed near guerrilla headquarters after he was caught eavesdropping on conver sations between a foreign-speaking commander and Greek leaders. These were the closest things to evidence of the international brig ade story, picked up by the Greeks from Balkans “reports” that for eign troops from France, Germany, Central Europe and Russia had been arriving in Albania and Yugo slav ports. The Greeks relayed the reports as “evidence” that Soviet pressure was being exerted on the Balkans. The trouble was that they did such a good job of circulation that they began believing the story them selves. In addition, guerilla leaders, either acting upon their own initia tive or upon instructions from Yu golsav and Albanian elements which furnished them arms, ex horted their men with promises of help from such a brigade wait ing to back up their frontier at tack. Thus the magnitude of the at tack, which grew larger the far ther from the front the souces 0f information happened to be, made the Greeks believe it was a full scale invasion by au international brigade. When the first prisoners said they were expecting help from the brigade, that was all that was needed to set off a new alarm. The worst effect of the reports was upon the forward elements of GET YOUR General Electric . . AUTOMATIC Washing Machine NOW! It soaks, washes, rinses, damp dries 9 lbs. of dry clothes.
