CAROLINA I'lUDAY, JULY 23, 1?43 (Eight Pages) NUMBER BUDGET NOT APPROVED DISAGREE ON FRANK LINTON SUPPLEMENT Board To Meet Again Sat urday Night at 10 O'clock To Decide Question; Dean And Joyner Opposed Sup plement and Pearce and Terrell Approve The Board of County Commis sioner met in special session Tues day with all Commissioners pres ent except Commissioner Harvey T. Bartholomew. The object of the meeting was to discuss the 1943-44 budget, particularly to provide a special supplement to the Frankllnton Special Chartered School district. Chairman L>. C. Hicks and Mr. George Gilliam of the Board of Trustees of the Frankllnton School District, and Supt. ? . ? . Morton, were before the Board asking a special supplement fund of approximately $2,118. County Attorney John F. Mat thews informed the Board that under the law there were only two ways this supplement could be granted. " The first was to hold an election in the Franklin ton School District to vote a tax to provide a supplement. The second was to get an approval of the State Board of Education to use the surplus per capita funds for supplemental purposes. It developed that the Frank llnton Schools had contracted with a Superintendent at a sal ary greater than they had funds to meet, and the Board of Trus tees were seeking a way to take care of the sltuatiom Quite a discussion was entered into which developed many inter esting and informative points. Commissioner Dean pointed out that to grant the request would result in p county-wide tax that would' provide $4.36 per capita to all children in Franklin County outside of Frankllnton School District and $4.58 to the children within the Frankllnton District and this addition would go into extra salary instead of to the advantages of he chldren. Frankllnton representatives called attention to the fact that they were entitled to some spec ial consideration because the school was given to the district and involved no cost to the coun ty._ uom. Dean called attention to the fact that the cost of up-keep of their large, and commodious building, which all of Franklin County appreciated, was suffic ient to take care of the cost, in terest and retirement of bonds on the general average of schools in the county and therefore this feature should have no weight with the Board. The discussion centered around the question of the supplements. Dean again called attention to the inequality of the distribution should the Board grant the re quest. At this time Supt. W. F. Mitchel of the County, stated that according to his understanding the funds would have to be dis tributed on a per capita basis and that while he did not specially need it, it would be satisfactory to him to raise the county budget to a point that would provide a per capita of $4.58, which would tajce care of the Franklinton sit uation and give him more funds to use for the County Schools. It was suggested by Com. Pearce and Attorney Matthews that the Board could pass the budget with the supplements, with the understanding that the supplements would have to be approved by the State Board of Education before they become ef fective. This suggestion was agreeable to Chairman Terrell. This was objected to by Com. Dean who stated that this would only be saying- to the State, "it is alright and just in our opin ion and we are asking your ap proval" and of course they would approve it because we had ap proved it first. Com. Dean then stated he was entirely willing to grant to Franklinton anything granted to the remainder of the -county and proposed a motion that the bud get be accepted on the basis of the' State Salary schedule. In discussing his position he didn't think it fair, even if they could do it, to give more to the Frank linton children, than was given to the children of the remainder of Franklin County, and according to his understanding of the law the Board couldn't do it anyway, as the County Accountant was required to apportion the entire fund raised by County taxes, on a pro rata (per child) basis to each district. This motion was seconded by Com. Joyner. Com. Pearce proposed a motion to grant the supplements. A roll call vote was held on (Continued on page eight) Recorder's Court Franklin County Recorder's Court held regular session on Tuesday morning and disposed of cases as follows: William Duke, resisting an of ficer, nolle pros.

A gome dispatch to the Dagens Nyheter said an air alarm was sounded in Rome again Monday night and the all-clear came at 15 minutes past midnight. Allied Headquarters in North Africa, July 19. ? Specially-train ed American precision airmen dropped hundreds of tons of bombs on rail and airfield instal lations at Rome today in the first 'attack of the war on the Eternal iCity. The first "bombs away" call of Flying Fortress bombardiers came at 11:13 a. m. (5:13 a. m. E.W.T.) ; Leaflets first were dropped, ad vising the inhabitants why cer tain ne^lons ot the city were military objectives. Kail i ai ds Mnaslicd Tons of explosives then smash jed the San Lorenzo railway yards four miles east of Vatican City. That was the target nearest to the Vatican. The yards are those 1 in which Axis troop , trains are made up for dispatch southward jt<?. Sicily and the southern main land. The Litteric' yards farther jeast^&nd the Campino airfield al so were, bombed heavily by air jmerr using the highly accurate i American bombsiglit. Fortresses, Mitchells and Ma rauders from the. North African command were joined by four engined Liberators frojn the Mid dle East. Their crews ^had train 'ed for weeks for this delicate itask and carried large aerial photographs on which such plajj jes as Vatican City, and the churches, St. John Lateran and Santa Maria Maggiore, were mar Iked in red and labeled: "Must on no account be dam aged." j Liberator pilots returning to | Cairo said there was no fighter 'opposition, but they encountered heavy anti-aircraft lire. No men tion was made of any Allied loss 'es. Associated Press War Corres pondent Joseph Morton rode in lone Marauder bomber with two Tokyo raiders. Captains Jack A. jSims of Kalamazoo, Mich, and i James H. Macia, Jr., of Tucson, Ariz. I "I could see fires coming from Ithree legitimate military targets ] ? two railway switching yards land an airport." he reported. "If the Axis can produce proof that our bombers destroyed anything but military objectives today, I shall be very much surprised." The plane Morton rode planted iits bombs "with deadly accuracy"] on parked planes at Ciampino airport, 15 miles southeast of the city, and there was no-flghte'V op position, he said. Liberator airmen reported widespread damage to Italian rail communications after scoring di rect hits on freight yards and oil cars, and likewise said there was no fighter interference although they encountered heavily anti aircraft fire. The Allied command made no mention of any Allied losses. The Berlin radio said the plan es struck in waves during a per iod of two and a half hours, an indication that Rome's defenses were inadequate to stop the pro longed attack. Allied leaders, in anticipation of an immediate flood of Axis propaganda decrying alleged, "desecration" of Christendom's symbols and shrines in ancient Rome, released the news;^f the raid before It was over-. "Military objectives in Rome and its vicinity have been bomb ed today by heavy bombers and medium bombers of the Mediter ranean air command," the brief communique said. "The marshalK ing yards were the principal tar get. It is of the greatest impor tance to the Axis war effort and in particular for the movement of German troops. "Leaflets also were dropped over the city during the raid. Pilots and bombardiers employed on this mission were particularly instructed to avoid damaging re ligious and cultural monuments."

American and' [Canadian troops have captured !the central road hub of Enna to! control half of Sicily, and tonight! demoralized Axis troops had be-, tgun a general retreat toward thej escape port of Messina two miles opposite the Italian mainland. | Enna also is the "back door"] to Catania 40 miles to the east where the British Eighth Army had pressed back a stubborn Ger-I man foe !%? the southern suburbs! of that port.

Incendiar ies and light explosive bombs fell in the Rome suburbs to day and air raid sirens sounded a H.Vminute alarm in the capi tal only 48 hours after it had been raided by more than S00 American planes, Swiss dispat ches reported. The United Press Bern bu reau said a neutral source, tele phoning Rome at 12:03 p. m. Rome time (7:03 a. m. EWT), reported that his connection was Interrupted abruptly. The person to whom he was talk ing in Rome said that air raid sirens had just sounded. After several attempts, the Bern informant again contact ed Rome and was told that the all-clear had sounded one hour and five minutes after the alert No planes were sighted over Rome, it was said, but bombs were dropped in the suburbs. There was no substantiation In Allied quarters that Rome had been raided today or of reports circulated from Axis quarters that it had l>een attacked by Allied bombers last night.

Germany Urged To Ditch Hitler Anti-Nazi Committee Of Germans Formed in Mos cow, Urged Soldiers To Mutiny 's Moscow, July 21. ? An anti Nazi German National Committee, dedicated to the overthrow of Adolf Hitler and the establish ment of a democratic regime in Germany, has been formed in Moscow, the Communist party or gan Pravda annouticed today. Indicating official Soviet ap proval of the new committee. Pravda published a manifesto by that body calling upon German soldiers to mutiny, turn their batfks on their leaders and blast their way back home. It urged German workers to lay down their tools, sabotage industry and demand immediate peace. The manifesto indicated the nature of the regime in Germany which the Soviet Union would | favor after victory. It was con sistent with Premier Josef Stalin's! declaration of Nov. 7, 1942. in I which he said the Nazi state and j army must and can be destroyed,1 but that the German people, army' and state are indestructible. Stal-i in's program called for the de-j feat of the Wehrmacht. the an nihilation of the Nazis, and th$! punishment of Hitler and other leaders responsible for the war. ""Anglo-American troops are at the gates of Europe, " the mani festo said. "The day is approach ing when Germany will collapse under the impact of simultaneous blows from all sides. The war is already lost. Rut Germany must not die."

Allied Headquarters, iti North Africa, July 18. ? -Gen. Sir Har old Alexander, in his first procla mation to the people of Sicily as ( Allied military governor of that island, today ordered all Fascist party organizations dissolved. At the same time, it was an nounced that Charles Poletti, a former governor of New York who replaced Herbert Lehman, is^ in Sicily in a general executive capacity with the Allied military government of occupied territory. Alexander's proclamation told Sicilians that all personal and property rights wytrid he respect- j ed, ordered discriminatory laws annulled, and 'warned the people to refrain ffom acts of violence. It declared the purpose of the] AUies/Was to deliver the people : from the Fascist regime and res Jtfre Italy as a land of free peo-| pie. Then it posted eight injunc tions: Eight Injunctions 1. All governmental powers and jurisdiction in occupied ter ritory were vested in himself as military governor, and in Amgot! (Allied Military Government of j Occupied Territory.) 2. Exercise of the power of thej crown of Italy shall be suspend- 1 ed during the period of military occupation. 3. All civilians must obey promptly any orders given by the Allied military government. 4. "Your existing personal and property rights will be fully res pected and your existing laws will remain in force and effect except; insofar as it may be necessary for! me in the discharge of my du-l ties to change or supersede them by proclamation." 5. The Fascist party will be dissolved and all discriminatory decrees and laws will be annulled. 6. "All administrative and Ju dicial officials of provinces and communities and all other gov ernmental and municipal func tionaries and employes, and all I officers and employes of state, municipal or other public ser vices except such officials and po litical leaders as are removed by: me. are required to continue in performance of their duties sub ject to my direction. 7. Further proclamations will be issued as necessity warrants. * 8. "So long as you remain peaceable and comply with my orders you will be subject to nu greater interference than may be inevitable in view of military exigenctes. and may go about your normal vocations without fear." o An American aviator, lost in the jungles and forced to eat a grasshopper for food, said that it tasted like crabmeat. i THE POSTWAR "NEW DEAL" Babson Says, "Its Up to The Re turning Soldiers" By ROGER W. BABSON" Gloucester, Mass., July 23. ? I question that Mr. Roosevelt is personally much interested in 4 more years in the White House. Along with Churchill. Stalin and Chi ang Kai Shek, he is .undoubted ly more -concer ned in winning the War. I be lieve he would prefer to leave I office . at the height of . his BABSON career as Gommander-in-Chtef! And make no mistake in thinking that he is not the guiding head of our armed forces. As such, with the greatest war in "the his tory of our country successfully behind him, his historical future woijld be far more secure than if he continued for four more years. DOMESTIC ISSUES VS WAR The President may have told his friends ? the Frankfurter, Rosenman and Hopkins crowd to go ahead with Fourth Term Plans and that he would string along with them. But Roosevelt is too smart a politician to make the mistakes that Woodrow Wil son did. lie may feel that to both win the War and win the Peace is too much for a just ? Providence to grant. My hunch is that he will let nature take its course. If the soldiers demand his continuance in office, he will run again: but not otherwise. Roosevelt is making no at tempt to straighten out his do mestic front. Why he is willing i that Congress should adjourn and its members ? both Republi can and Democratic? should go home and tell their constituents what a lousy job he is doing with rationing, with food control and other domestic measures. I cannot understand. Perhaps he believes that with "uncondition al victory" all his domestic Errors and omissions will qujctcly be forgotten. Let me tell him that the MEMORIES of/our boys in the army, navy and air force will not be short./ ALLIKI) COOPERATION It isy<jbvious that the closest possible cooperation has been nec essary ? bolKTSefore ' and since Pearl Harbor ? among the prin cipal Allied Nations. All of the Allies, including our Latin Am erican neighbors, are keeping the cards close to their chests and playing an admirable game. China. Russia, Great Britain and the United States naturally em brace different ways of living, different trends of thought and have had different ideas as to policies. But fortunately all of these considerations have been waived in the common agreement that the first task of all concern ed is to whip Hitler and Hiro hlto. In spite of her great losses in manpower, Russia will emerge from the War a stronger nation than ever before. She will longer be an Isolated nation. Rus sia's position in coming world af fairs will have to be acknowledg ed and perhaps reckoned with. One set of conditions for the Al lies can prevail when fighting tor a common cause; but when peace comes these conditions will lose their significance. "Dog-eat-dog," rather than cooperation, may then be the rule. WILL ISOLATION RETURN? Just what form our participa tion in world peace will take af ter the War, will depend upon our new war veterans. Perhaps, as a nation, we should adopt the slogan of "slow and careful." Many of them will remember our efforts, including Wilson's Four teen Points, the Dawes and Young Plans and the League of Nations, which followed the last War. In the main, they were all failures. We were thanked but little for these efforts to estab lish a lasting peace. So again, should we attempt to dominate the peace plans of the postwar era. our efforts may, likewise, fail. I doubt if there can be any semblance of a last ing peace in Europe without a Federation of States which is what Witier has had In mind for years. The continent of Europe comprises too many small coan triea and rulers for. its own good. In tne end, the Allies may be forced to do, through diplomacy, what Hitler has attempted through diplomacy, what Hitler has attempted through force Of arms. But this will be decided, not by Roosevelt, but by our re (Continued on Pace S)
