It lias 46 mils* south of Kweilin. The Chinese advances already have overrun six American bases. On the China coast, the com munique said, Chinese troops fol lowing Japanese units heading front Amoy to Swatow have reach ed the border of Fukien and Kwantung Provinces. Ohaoan, 40 mike northeast of Swatow, was taken from the Japa nese after changing hands. An other town of the same name S3 miles north of Swatow was ap proached by the Japanese. AIR BASE SITE One column of Chinese, pushing northward along the subsidiary road, which leads from captured Liuchow to Kweilin, reached a point 13 miles south of Yangso, which the high command said was a former American air base site. These troops also threatened the Japanese supply base of Finglo from points 10 miles southwest of that city. Kweilin, with its three important air fields, was menaced by col umns which at last reports yes terday had driven within eight miles north and 8 1-3 miles north west of the city. Another column battled within the walls of the ancient fortress city of Faishou, 36 mils* west of Kweilin U. S. 14th air force fighter bomb ers gave close support to still an other column of Chinese grinding out gains near Yungfu, 31 miles southwest of Kweilin. DISTRICT SUPERVISOR RALEIGH. — (/P) — Hennie K. Jamas, former state AAA farm su pervisor and veteran of World War Two, has been appointed district supervisor of the Federal Insur ance Corporation. CARRIER Startta On Page One vasion plans—while in Washington Maj. Gen. Allen Turnage, director of Marine Corps personnel, ac knowledged frankly that "the great est of all amphibious operations now are in the making.” Marines, he said, "are ready to go ashore wherever and whenever strategy directs . . .” The Domei broadcast said land ings on both China and Japan are being planned. In Manila, more than 5,006 Am erican troops from the German front disembarked yesterday, join ing earlier arrivals to prepare for the Pacific’s greatest D-day. OTHER DEVASTATION There were these fresh reports today of further devastation to the already smoking and battered en emy homeland: U. S. carrier planes over Tokyo Bay July 18: Sank one destroyer,, one cable-layer, three small cargo, vessels, seven motor torpedo boats; damaged heavily the superstruc ture of Japan’s 32.720-ton battle ship Nagato, moored at Yokosu ka; blew the stern off the anti tircraft destroyer; damaged an old destroyer, four lubbers and two small craft; destroyed six locomo tives, four hangars, an ammuni tion dump, an oil tank, a power plant transformer; damaged many other railway, military and indus trial targets; destroyed or damag ed 72 enemy planes. Twelve Am erican planes and 22 men were lost. British carriier planes In the same action: Damaged 24 junks; damaged hangars and other air field installations north of Tokyo; damaged rail facilitiias and roll ing stock at Katori; destroyed or damaged 38 enemy planes. Two British planes were lost, but the personnel were rescued. In all, British and American pilots ravaged a 90-mile stretch of the Tokyo plains area. OKINAWA Starts Ob Pace One its abundant coal and good soil for airfields He has already visited the area and supervised the es tablishment of his headquarters. In a conference with tne press after meeting Lt. Gen. Barney Giles, deputy commander of U. S. strategic air forces, Doolittle said the Eighth air force would act as a complement to the 30th air force in its operations against Japan. MAKES NO CLAIMS “In this operation the air force makes no claims to having won the war or that lt is going to win the war,” Doolittle said. "Our job is coordinating with all other for ces to make sure that fewer boys will be lost.” Asked if he was planning to return with his bombers over Ja pan he said he had pleaded with Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, commander of the strategic air forces, to per mit him to fly over Germany but because of his knowledge of fu ture plans his request was flatly rejected. “I imagine the same condition will maintain here,” he said. Doolittle was highly enthusias tic over his command. He said the B-29 is “the greatest airplane in the world—there is nothing comparable to it.” Doolittle’s staff will have numer ous officers from the old 20th bomber command whioh operated in the China-Burma-India theatre. In addition, officers from the United States will be brought in to give them an opportunity at combat. SURRENDER Starts Oa rage One party leader, would return Wednes day night from Potsdam. It was Re lieved that should the Churchill government get a working majority the prime minister, now head of Brit ain’s caretaker government, would return to Potsdam quickly. Should his party be defeated, an interrup tion in the work of the conference would seem inevitable.) There was every reason to believe that the conference was proceeding smoothly and harmoniously Satur day’s American announcement that much serious business had been transacted, and the fact that there was a Sunday meeting, seemed to indicate the statesmen were reach ing final decisions as fast as the foreign secretaries could clear pro blems. There has been no joint communl quie from the conference since the original announcement of the first meeting last Tuesday. What news has been available on the conference has come to the press from the American delegation. All the copy is cleared through army censors, who say they read it for security reasons. President Truman attended both general Protestant and Catholic church services yesterday. Mr. Truman, Churhill and mem bers of their delegations were guests of Premier Stalin Saturday night at a formal state dinner. THE RECORD SHOP nmn m — shelby, n. c. NEWEST SELECTIONS JUST RECEIVED ‘B&iniiw on the Mountain” (Wesley Tuttle and Coon Hunters) “We live In 2 Different Worlds” (Tex Bitter) Too Often” “Yw Two-Timed (Tex Ritter) "Ifeh Minute Seems Million Years” DETROIT IS S1RKECENTER Graham Paigt Motors Corp. Strike Ended; 5 Others Continue By The Associated Press The turbulent motor city of De troit appeared to be the hottest spot on the nation’s strike griddle today with 21,762 of the nation’s 49,711 idle within its limits. One of Detroit’s strikes—at the Graham Paige Motors Corp.—en<| ed when 2,800 employes voted to re turn to work today, but five other disputes continued with no apparent sign of a break. These embraced 14,000 lumber workers in nearly 200 yards, 6,000 at the United States Rubber Co.. 1,200 at Midland Steel, 500 at American Metal Products, and 62 bus drivers. The Graham - Paige employes, memSers of the CIO United Auto Workers, voted to return after man agement agreed to confer with the union. The dispute, two weeks old, stemmed from instructor layoffs. SETTLEMENTS Other settlements announced over the week-end included: A one-week , strike at the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Co., Kansas City, involving 1,200 em ployees; 200 linemen at the Rocket Powder plant, Chesterton, Ind., who left their jobs Wednesday unexplain ed reasons; and nine of 10 bus driv ers of the Bridge Transport line be tween Louisville, Ky., and Jefferson ville, Ind. Continuing disputes elsewhere in the nation included 1,500 St. Louis packing house workers, wage adjust ments; 6,500 Tampa, Fla., cigar makers, protesting wage rollbacks; mine strikes involving 2,700 in Ken tucky and 450 in Pittsburgh; news paper printers covering 113 persons in Birmingham, Ala., 40 in Jersey City, 00 in Fort Wayne, Ind.. and 18 in Bayonne, N. J., and 1,750 Inter national Harvester employes at Fort Wayne. An additional 2,000 remained out at the Electro-Metallurgical Co., Al loy, W. Va.; and 175 AFL sympathiz ers at the Springfield, Ore., Plywood Corp. which has a contract with the CIO. A new dispute, at the Phelps Dodge Corp., in Morenci, Ari*., added 1,400 to the idle, but a federal cancillia tor was expected to fake over to day. JAPANESE Start* On Pa** Ob* Although the Philippines libera tion is officially three weeks old, the sixth division advance northward along highway 4 has been one of the moat difficult of the entire cam highway, which the troops' call "Skeleton How,” has been dyna mited by the Japanese in three places where it clung to a rock ledge above gorges. One American jeep was ' caught between the first two blocks and has remained there, performing a shut tle service along the two and one half miles from one gap to another. LINED WITH DEAD The road is so lined with enemy dead that it is impossible to walk 50 feet without seeing the bare bones —often grotesquely still clad in uni form—of fallen Japanese. They were caught by U. S. fifth air force straf ing planes before the ground troops climbed into that wild region. Still among the living, however, according to recurring native reports, is Yamashita. Reports brought to the sixth division say he is hiding out, hungry, in the mountains with a picked bodyguard of 300 troops, and that he was in Kiangan short ly before that stronghold fell to the Americans recently. NEW 8tart* Ob Fa|« On* war mobilisation and reconversion which la conducting much of the re organisation planning. In only 12 weeks in his last poet, that of federal loan administrator, Snyder merged five lesser loaning agencies into the RFC. DWMR already has prepared a report on consolidation of perhaps SO agencies dealing with manpower problems in one way or another. The report, under study by Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach, ultimately will go to the White Rouse for final re vision then to congress. WAR AGENCIES The movement makes uncertain the fate of the big war agencies, es pecially the war manpower commis sion. The bulk of Chairman Mc Nutt’s WMC personnel is in the f. S. Employment Service. When and if reorganization hits WMC, the U. 6. E. S. might go to the labor department, or back to the states with federal coordination only, or to the proposed new depart ment of welfare and security. DR. WALL’S Starts Ob Page One of strengthening their hearers and are published as he says, ‘with a prayer they will be a blessing to many readers.’ We can assure any one that he will be blessed by suck reading. "The author is one of the great pastors and leaders among South ern Baptists. For nearly 40 years he has performed a varied minis try in which he has been pastor of city, village and college church es, army chaplain, and denomina tional leader. He has truly the pastor’s heart and expresses its passion with an analytical and scholarly mind- He expresses him self clearly and with devotion to Scripture teaching . . .

This was done in several instances. On his own motion, Judge Gwyn excused two farmers who had no help and an ice man ufacturer. J. D. Elliott was named foreman of the Cleveland grand jury suc ceeding J. T. Irvin, who was una voidably detained from attending court this morning. The nine new members of the grand Jury are: C. I. Putnam, Ray Thornburg, J. D. Elliott, J. A. McNeeley, A. B. Jolley, D. E. McCraw, W. B. Put nam, Harry Osborne and L. L. Jones. Judge Gwyn held his charge to the grand jury to a minimum, calling their attention to the fact that their work is serious business and that it should be handled with dispatch. “These are busy times,” he said. “Cases should be given all the at tention they require but they should be handled with expedition. Immediately after the organiza tion of the court Solicitor Town* send called the docket and heard submissions. Trials were started this afternoon. *ET«*N PROM VI8IT Mrs. c.

LIVING-ROOM IN NEW FLYING BOAT COMPARTMENT—Just to show the size of one of the compart ments in the new, huge flying boat “Hawaii Mars" a group of models demonstrate how easily it can accom modate a complete set of living room furniture. The giant ship was formally christened at the Glenn L. Mar tin seaplane base on Middle river near Baltimore. Md„ July 21. (AP Wirephotou____ EVERY Starts On Page One were booked for irregularities in identification papers, he said. With "Tallyho” as a code word, the American soldiers struck at daylight Saturday. They stopped every vehicle, including U. S. army Jeeps, checked the papers of civil ians and soldiers and swept through every German house from cellar to attic. FACE TRIALS “It upset the civilian population quite a bit, which is good,” Sibert said, explaining that the Germans had been given a week of grace ending July 20 in which to turn over all weapons, ammunition, ra dio transmitters and other forbid den articles without fear of pun ishment. Those caught with forbidden articles face trials in which the death sentence can be ap plied. "The raid marts the passing from a negative to a positive line1 of action,” Sibert said. 'We want-j ed to act before there was even a chance of anything coming up and hitting us in the face.” In addition, he said the army wished to check its own security and control measures so as to plug any possible gaps. Col. Thomas Sands of Cornwall. N. Y., who led the raid, said that the search showed less crime than perhaps would be uncovered In a similar raid over a comparable area in the United States. He described those arrested as more of "the criminal element" i than anything else. He objected vigorously to any reference to them as "Werewolves,” maintaining that this was poor propaganda. He said the offenders caught would get "rough treatment.” MORE MEAT Starts On Page One slaughter by small, local plants, some of which, food officials have stated, supplied black markets. Insofar as black mar ket supplies have been reduc ed, the total volume of meat available foe legitimate mar kets has increased. Some further improvement in the civilian supply is expected in Sep tember and Octot^-, months in which a large volume of grass-fat tened cattle from ranges and pas tures of the west, southwest, mid west, Virginia and Pennsylvania, is expected to move to market. Not all of this anticipated increase will be available for civilians, however A part will go to the military services and lend-lease countries.

' Goodrich Stores 4t 23c AN OPEN LETTER from the New York Stock Exchange to Every Owner of Series “E” War Bonds Please Do This — get out your Series “E” War Bonds and check them with the chart at the right. Then you will understand why we say: “Hold the ‘E’ bonds you already have . . . you can’t afford to cash them in. “Buy more of them . . . don’t miss the investment opportunity they afford. “War Bonds, backed by the re sources of our Government, are the world’s best security value.” As the chart at right shows, the increase in value of an “E” bond is greatest in the later years of the bond’s life. (White bars represent $75 original investment on an “E” bond of $100 face value —the black bars show the increase in value by years over this orig inal amount.) Note how the rate of increase goes up in the second three years of an “E” bond’s life —and goes up again even more sharply over the final four years. Taking another example—a $1,000 * ‘ E” bond which costs $750 originally—the following table shows graphically how values grow faster as the bond grows older: Yrs. 1 2 8 4 5 6 7 8 9 JO Increase In Value 8 6.00 10.00 15.00 20.00 20.00 20.00 40.00 40.00 40.00 40.00 Total Value S 756 765 780 800 820 840 880 920 960 1,000 % of Worth the Yr. Before .67* 1.32 1.96 2.56 2.50 2.44 4.76 4.55 4.35 4.17 The greater values that accumu late in the later years of a $1,000 “E” bond’s life are apparent—$40 a year in each of the last four years, compared with an average of only $10 a year in the first three years, or $20 a year in the second three years. Right-hand column of table shows percentage of the bond’s worth in each previous year, now added to its value. These percent ages apply in the case of “E” bonds of all denominations. If you have owned such bonds over the last few years, you are now entering the period of far better than-average increase. You would literally be throwing money away to cash them prior to maturity. The bonds of our Government are the only securities this Exchange has ever recommended in the more than 180 years of its existence. We urge you: “Buy War Bonds with certainty. Hold them with confidence.’’ New York Stock Exchange
