H. Ma lone Introduces Well the Speaker; Band Makes Splendid Music; Officers Elected for Next Year; Mildred Lloyd Malone Sings New Patriotic Song "Its a great thing to meet in the Springtime and have a Me morial Day. Memorial Day means more Mian all the others put to gether," stated R. Gregg. Cherry, in onv - t-he greatest and most effective Me morial day addresses delivered in Louisburg in many years. He paid a pretty tribute to the Franklin County Memorial Asso ciation in its uniqueness, being about the only of its kind In our country, and congratulated all t-hose who had something to do with its organization and in keep ing it alive. He spoke touching-1 ly of the present world conflict stating that' he has "seen one Ar mistice. which we thought was J permanent peace, lost again." If ? war was all hate and bloodshed there would be no reason for memory. Hut It' is not always that way. Its a test of manhood.! Some turn somewhat yellow, but the great majority turn to gold.1 as the trees at autumn turn into a great array of beauty. He said sometimes there are righteous wars, sometime we have to re- \ sort to force to maintain our po sition and change evil into good. He said in Germany the people follow Hitler to an individual. t almost w-orsliip him. Then how much more should we be Willing , to sacrifice, fight and to die for the Idealism of our American traditions. He said Hitler, al-l though he did not thinfc of It,; and his muchinized warfare, comes right down America's al ley.. We as a citizenship cannot fail ? we will not fail.

Mayor H. Crawford Kearney. President of the Association de livered t-he AddresB of Welcome who referred to the meeting as of a great deal of significance to us at a time when we are facing se rious problems ? more than twen ly-three years ago and aft?r pay ing tribute to the founders who have passed, extended a most grateful and cordial welcome to| all who had come to Join in Mils great day of remembrance and respect.

JAPS ATTACK ALASKA RAID DUTCH HARBOR i BASE Navy Says First Attack Fired a Few Warehouses, But Caused No Serious ; Damage or Casualties; No Details Yet as to Second Raid on Aleutian Island Base Washington. June 3. ? Japa nese plant- at. ruck twice today at United States mili:iuy and naval bases at Dutch Harbor. AI-: aska. the Navy revealed tonight, i The attacks occurred six hours apart ? one at 12 noon (KWT) and the other at 6 p. m. ( KWT ) . Four bombers and about 15 escorting fighters participated in' the first- attack, which inflicted 1 no serious damage and caused few casualties. Warehouses Fired The Navy said a "few ware- , houses were set on fire" in the ! initial thrust ? the first time In , history t-liat North America pro per has been attacked by air. j , There were no details on the second attack. L In the absence of details on the]; second today, it. was speculated^ that the first raid was a "feeler" i( and that the second was an at- , tack In fore*. The presence of fighter planes ]! suggested that they came from an aircraft carrier, since Dutch Har bor is more than 1,400 miles from the nearest Japanese is lands?far beyond the flying range of fighter planes. The carrier? if one was In- [ volved ? conceivably approached within striking range of Dutch Harbor unseen in the fog which lrequent4y shrouds that area. There was no Information whe ther any of the attacking planes were shot down. Were Prepared A West Coast dispatch quoted a high Navy official as saying that' the initial attack "was not a surprise" and that the defenders "were prepared to meet it". The successive l&rusts broke the ominous calm which prevail ed in the Pacific war area since last month's battle on the Coral Sea. ] The tact that the Japanese struck twice within such a short time at Dutch Harbor ? most i formidable American bastion on i the Aleutian Island chain which < stretches 1,500 miles across the ' North Pacific ? suggested that 1 this might be the prelude to a < Nipponese attempt to knock oat American bases in Alaska pre- i paratory to a blow against Rut- 1 Mian Siberia. - 1 It was pointed outunofficially J that such an attempt would be logical inasmuch as the Alaskan . bases constitute a vital threat to ' any Japanese move Into Siberia. A knockout try would be calculat ed to remove the danger ot a flanking blow should the Japanese e attempt a thrust Into Soviet ter- ] ritory. The raids also were viewed as ] reprisals for the April 18 Amerl- < can air attack on Tokyo and oth- j er Japanese centers: ? raids which ' conceivably could be expanded to ; reach the United States main land. r i The assaults may have been < directed against Dutch Harbor on , the theory the American a Mack on Tokyo originated from there. | But the starting point ot the ' April 18 blow against* Japan Is one ot this country's best-kept < secrets ot the war.

Gill was appointed Tuesday to re place Allen J. MaxweH as Com missioner. of Revenue, and Max well was appointed head of the newly created tax research de partment. The long- awaited change in the RevenilA will take effect June 30, but fwther reorganization of personnel as a result' of the re cent tax-stealing cases will wait. Gill To Clean Up Governor Broughton had been expected to reorganize the de partment completely by t>he be ginning of the new fiscal year on July 1, but in announcing the ap pointments Tuesday, he stated that' Gill would assume that res ponsibility. The Paroles Commissioner said he could not comment upon the revenue organization until he took office. He left the impres sion that' no further changes would be made until he had fa miliarized himself with the per sonnel. Unless Broughton and Gill work out a reorganization to be announced with Gill's assumption of the post'.

The Governor also appointed Hathaway Cross, -iissistant com missioner of paroles, to succeed Gill on June 30 and stated tbati William Dunn, Jr., of the paroles office would be promoted to Cross' present capacity. follows Kxeliaugc Announcement of the Depart ment' of Revenue change followed hy a day the blistering exchange between Maxwell and the State Auditor's office over responsibili ty for detecting the long-standing embezzlement cases for which nine persons were indicted re cently and seven were convicted. In the hardest-hltMng audit report in recent years, the De partment of Revenue was charged with inefficiency, failure In sup ervision and coordination and lack of attention to the qualifica [lons of Its employes. Replying in equall blistering lerms. Maxwell asserted that the State Auditor's ofTice was seeking lo alibi its own responsibility. He iharged that any adequate audit nf the cashier's office within t-be past three years would have re vealed at least two of the cases. He charged that his own audi.* lors had detected all except two of the shortages involved in the recent trials. "Mr. Gill will .be given an ab lolutely free hand as to personnel ind new policy," Brortghtrn said. However, It Is known that the Sovernor has his own Idea- about Lhe revenue administration and that he probaby will not be con tent unMl the new commissioner has removed Assistant Commis sioner W. J.
