Britain Admits Belfast Damaged
By the Associated Press
Breaking a three-day sflence, the British admiralty admitted
last night, that “a torpedo or mine” had damaged ^the 10,000 ton
cruiser Belfast last Tuesday at the .Firth of Forth naval base with
injuries to 20 men. . j
The admiralty had withheld comments of reports abroad since
Tuesday that the Belfast had been damaged with an announcement
yesterday by the German high command that the Nazi submarine
commander had confirmed the raid on the Firth of Forth.
Nazi air raiders bombed three warships at the strategic naval
base Oct. 16, inflicting casualties on the cruisers, Southampton, Edin
burgh and the destroyer Mohawk.
The admiralty’s statement said that .the Belfast was now under
going repairs.
Meanwhile, the sea lanes, on which Britain depends for food
bore new losses ^nd there was increasing tension over neutral com
plaints against the threatened British blockade of German exports.
Mine Sinks Mangalore
The latest victim of East Coast mines — some of which the
British assert were laid by Nazi planes, was the 8,886-ton British
steamer Mangalore, whose crew of 77 were saved. She was the 83rd
British ship, naval and merchant, reported sunk since the war began,
Sept. 3.
Roumanian Cabinet Picked
In Bucharest, George Tatarescu, fourth premier of Roumania in
two months, set up a coalition government last night,? choosing min
isters of all shades of political opinion, from anti-Semitic right
I wingers to Socialists.
Action On Western Front
Paris reports Germany lost a few prisoners in an unsuccessful
raid on the French line east of the Moselle River, the French high
command reported tonight.
The raid, noted in the evening high command communique, was
the only action reported, beside the local artillery action along the
Western front.
In the air, it was said that activity had been reduced but the
British and French air forces were said to have” bagged 14 planes in
the last two days.
Words May BeaifOn ThirdJTerm
At Warm Springs, Ga., President Roosevelt, in an offhand state
ment that might have a bearing on the third term, told villagers
that they had a little over a year left “to get a new postoffice.”
“I don’t know,” he said, “that the next administration would
give Warm Springs a new postoffice.”

Show on Dec. 8th at School
Auditorium as Benefit
The Rotary Club turned to
home fields yesterday when Gar
land Pierce, acting for the pro
gram committee,* introduced as
guest speaker at the Club’s week
ly luncheon meeting, Norris L.
Hodgkins, cashier of the Citi
zens Bank & Trust Company at
Southern Pines.
Basing his topic on “A bank
and its place in the community,”
Mr. Hodgkins drew an intimate
word picture of the functions and
responsibilities of such an insti
tution as the bank he represents.
He touched lightly upon the in
tricacies of credits and exchange
from the days when an exchange
of commodities represented the
medium of barter up to the pres
ent time when, to cope with mod
em conditions, it has become
necessary to adapt ourselves to
the present economic system un
der which our financial institu
tions are governed. •

DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
r by ROBERT E. HARLOW
If you ever get a letter similar to the one which follows you
will know that you are a pretty fair sort of a golfer.
Mr. Horton Smith.
c|o A. G. Spalding & Bros.
Chicopee, Mass.
Dear Horton:
It is my privilege to notify you of your selection as a member
of the 1939 Ryder Cup team. Your selection for this honored pos
ition is based upon your record as a player and sportsman and your
ability to represent our Association in a creditable manner.
As you know, these matches have been cancelled for 1939 because
of the situation in Europe, but we earnestly hope that conditions
will quickly change and permit the British team to come over to
play during 1940.
We congratulate you upon your, selection to this coveted post
and wish you and the team complete success when it finally competes
in these International Matches.
Most sincerely,
George R. Jacobus.
President P. G. A.

IMPORTANT ADDITION
SOUTHERN PINES, Nov. 24

day afternoon toward the ulti
mate realization vof making

foremost in this section when
a contract was let for the erec
tion of a new hangar 86 x 86
feet, the builders of which will

Tufts and Howard Burns an- ,\
nounced that the low bid of $4,
250 was made by the Reinecke
Dillehay firm.

on the ground, this additional
building will bring the housing
capacity of the Airport up to
about 15 planes. The hangar/
which will be built of wooden
trusses and corrugated iron, will
have a clearance of 18 feet. The
