expects that 5.000,000 more will have
been added to war payrolls by next

rapidly within the next few months^
Women and youths and retired

Holding Last Rites
This Afternoon For
Prominent Resident
(Continued from page one)
?Hurrying intti the barn, they found
him lying unconscious on the ground.
He died a few minutes later.
The son of the late William Henry
and Sarah Hasty Wilson, he was born
at the old family home near Ever
etts Nov. 8, 1872, where he spent
his early childhood. Moving with his
parents to Williamston, he lived on
the edge of town for some time, la
ter locating on the large farm ex
tending from Biggs Street to the riv
er. Even though he was almost sev
enty years of age, he was unusual
ly active around the farm and home,
finding peace and contentment in his
work which was marked by its un
selfishness.
He married Miss Vivia Earl Hives,
of Robersonville, in 1922, and she
survives him. No children were born
to the union, but he received chil
dren into his home during many
years and at the time of his death a
little grand-nephew, Marshall Wil
son Kilpatrick, lived in the home,
the two sharing a cherished and de
voted friendship for the other. Be
sides his wife he leaves two sisters,
Mrs. Albert T. Perry, of Williams
ton, and Mrs. E. E. Powell, of Green
ville .and a brother, Mr. Matthew
Wilson, of Williamston. While he had
no children of his own, many of his
nieces and nephews looked upon his
home as their own, receiving a fath
erly interest and kind, sympathetic
advice. Their names are, Mrs. Vance
Bunting, of Bethel; Dr. Sampson
Had ley. Mrs. Percy Downing, Mrs.
Mary Griffin, Miss Lina Wilson and
Edward Wilson, all of Norfolk; Wil
liam Wilson, of Washington City;
Dr. J. M. Kilpatrick, of Roberson
ville, Mrs. W. M. Borden and F. M.
Kilpatrick. of Ayden; Mrs. Harry
Fagan, of Florida, and Mrs. W. O.
Gibbs, of Elizabeth City.
Mr. Wilson was the oldest mem
ber of the local Christian church,
having affiliated with the denomina
tion when a .youth. His father was
instrumental in the building of the
church, and the son, after an hum
ble method and away from the pub
lic eye, carried on the work started
by his father. He was liberal in its
support, and the teachings of the
church were reflected in his daily
walk through life. The appeal of the
needy generally struck home with
him, and regardless of depressions
those who were i/Ssociated with him
in the operation of his farm never
found it necessary to turn to public
charity. Hospitalization was financ
ed. and if the patient could not re
pay the debt, it was all right. His in

County Young Man
Is Hero In Big Scrap
Off Midway Island
(Continued from page one)
June 4th?to "get a Japanese car
rier"
"We all knew what we were get
ting into," Ashley said, "and that it
was a pretty tough assignment with
our chances of coming back about
50-50. But it was a chance we'd all
been waiting for?a crack at the Japs
for what they had done to us De
cember 7th."
One of the oddities or war occur
red as the squadron of medium Army
bombers raced out from Midway
toward its objective; it passed a
flight of Japanese bombers en route
to attack Midway and both squad
rons passed each other without fir
ing a shot. The planes from the Jap
anese carrier were carrying out their
orders to attack the Midway base
which the Army bombers had left,
and the American bombers were
bent on destroying the carrier the
Japanese planes had left. The suc
cess of the Midway battle in part
was due to the fact that the Ameri
can planes carried out their mission
successfully; the Japanese failed.
The gunner hitched his game leg
into a more comfortable position on
his bed and continued his story:
"We sighted the Jap invasion fleet
quite suddenly when we broke
through a curtain of clouds. It was
a sight I'll never forget
"I would judge there were about
20 or 30 ships in the fleet?all pret
ty well bunched up. I think we sur
prised them because we got in close
and were making our run for a large
carrier before any Jap planes spot
ted us."
What happened next occurred in
less time than it took the young
North Carolinian to relate.
"The first fire was aimed at us
from a big Japenese cruiser," he
?aid, "?n?4 It was pretty.darned close,
bouncing, us around plenty. It made
me feel good to swing my guns
around and let gu at her as we skim
med overhead. I could see my tracers
going right into her.
"By that time we were on the last
of our run and in another second had
released our tin fish. We zoomed up
over the carrier deck and then a
whole swarm of Zeros dived in on
us. I couldn't count them but I'd say
there were at least 20."
With the odds 20 to 1 against it
and its mission completed, the Army
bomber streaked for home with a
covey of Zeros riding herd on its
tail spewing stream of lead into it
from every angle and Gunner Ash
ley trading them lick for lick in the
tail compartment.
"One of the Zeros dropped into the
slot on our tail," Ashley continued,
"and I was blasting away at him
when I got hit. Three machine gun
bullets caught me in the right leg
and the impact knocked me over
backwards.
"It didn't hurt much then, just a
burning sensation. I tried to crawl
back to my gun but I was helpless i
and couldn't move. Blood was pour
ing out of the bullet holes in my leg
and it was beginning to hurt plenty.
I couldn't reach the phone to tell
them up front what had happened;
all I could do was lie and watch the
bullets rip through the fabric and
go whistling down the fuselage.
'Was I scared? No, for some reas
on 1 didn't feel at all afraid. I guess
I was too far gone. I just lay there
and watched bullet after bullet pop
into the tail and fuselage. It seemed
just a question of time before I'd get
hit again.
It was Corporal Frank Melo, 24,
Astoria Long Island, radio operator
and side gunner who ran forward
and told Pilot James Muri, of Miles
City, Montana, and Co-Pik>t Pren L.
Moore, of El Centro, Calif., what had
happened.
"I guess Melo told them I was
dead," Ashley said laughingly, "for
when Lieutenant Moore rushed back
he was sure surprised to see me alive
and smiling at him. He tried to move
me but couldn't because of the
cramped quarters. He gave me some
sulfanilamide tablets nad then took
command of the guns. And I want
to tell everybody right here and now
what a swell job he did, too."
With Lt. Moore manning the rear
gun and the two side guns and belly
guns whose gunners also had been
shot, and Ashley passing him am
munition with his wounded arm, the
pair took on the remaining Zeros

ronezh and the Don, routed the 75th
German Infantry Diviaion which
fled in disorder, and accelerated their
mop-up of the 10-mile corridor be
tween the Don and Voronezh rivers.
The Russians said that in the bat
tle of Voronezh four Gegnan regi
ments and one battalion had been
annihilated pr so chopped up that
they "now cease to exist." They as
serted that "one German regiment
after another, one German division
after another, is being destroyed."
Heartened by ever-mounting Red
Army successes at Voronezh and
their implication of limited German
power, the Russians appeared con
fident that at the proper time and
place Timoshenko's men would
brace for an effective stand on the
south wing of the Don front.
?Official reports said the Russians
were falling back in good order in
the vital region south of Millerovo,
maintaining their lines intact in
fierce defensive battles despite Ger
man attempts to wedge into the So
viet formations.
Late reports would seem to indi
cate that the great battle of the Cau
casus gateway at Rostov is now un
derway. The Germans claim that
three divisions are moving in on the
city which according to the Germans
is now burning.
In addition to experiencing trouble
with the guerrillas in the Balkans,
the Germans are faring bad in Egypt
General Rommel is having his sup
ply lines ripped wide open by Brit
ish airmen, and the defending forces
are still clinging to the initiative.
Fifty German planes were destroy
ed in Egypt in a single day, and
large quantities of German supplies
have been destroyed, the British
forces claiming that 6,000 prisoners,
mostly Italians, had been taken
prisoner during the past few days.
Rommel is trying desperately to
bring up more men and supplies, and
his action there will largely deter
mine the outcome of the fighting
near Alexandria.
The Russian situation is being ag
gravated by a pending threat by the
Japs who are said to have gathered
about half their forces near the bor
der for a drive on Siberia. Regard
less of the threat there, the Russians
continue their fighting on the main
front, a late report stating that Rus
sian airmen, striking deep behind
the German lines on the Central
Front had wrecked 500 freight cars
at a railroad junction, wrecking vast
quantities of ammunition and thous
ands of trucks. )
America's new airforce in China
is offering a growing aid, and the J
Chinese are said to have scored lo
cal successes in recent fighting.
More American troops have just
landed in Ireland, and the talk of
opening a second front is bobbing
up again. This time high ranking
who were pressing in for the kill.
"If it hadn't been for Lieutenant
Moore," Ashley explained, "I don't
think we would have gotten back to
Midway. He manned the tail gun
when a Jap would try coming at us
from the back and if one came up
from below he'd scramble over me
and let go with the belly gun. It was
sure wonderful the way he worked.
"About all I could do was lie there
in the cramped quarters and watch.
I couldn't reach the ammunition be
cause of where I was lying, but I
could just reach the boxes with my
left hand. It took all my strength?I
was pretty weak from the loss of
blood?to drag the stuff over to Lt.
Moore."
Ashley added that from the way
the co-pilot was "throwing lead"
at the Zeros, he must have knocked
down several.
During all this time, the plane,
with Lieutenant Muri at the con
trols, was scraping the whitecaps
as it twisted and turned in an effort
to shake off the Jap fighters.
"Lieutenant Muri dodged swarms
of Jap Zeros as well as the combined
AA fire from the carrier and its es
cort of destroyers and cruisers," the
private said, "and brought us
through alive."
"The Jap planes stayed on our tail
for about 20 minutes as we roared
back to Midway but it seemed like
20 hours to me. The boys tell me
our plane had more than 500 bullet
holes in it. I guess I was pretty lucky
to get out with only three bullets in
me."

British and American authorities are
