PRESENTS SONGS
Rotary Club Entertained
By James Gordon At
Weekly Luncheon
Rotarans had hearty applause
for the songs of James Gordon,
Negro baritone currently employed
by the North Carolina Shipbuild
ing company who appeared be
fore the club at its Tuesday lunch
eon meeting
Gordon captured his hearers
with the richness of his voice, pro
ff ssional finish shown, and com
manding stage presence. His sing
ing was compared to that of Paul
Robeson, famed Negro baritone. He
offered a varied group of num
bers: Ah Sweet Mystery of Life,
Invictus, Water Boy, On the Road
1 o Mandalay Old Man River,
Praise the Lord and Pass the Am
munition, and tne Lord’s Prayer,
two of which were encores.
The singer was introduced by
President Richard Rogers, who
explained that Gordon by way of
a competition won a musfc schol
arship to Larnont school, and that
he was a member of the famous
Eva Jessye choir at the New York
World's Fair. He has appeared in
concert extensively since arriving
n; Wilmington.
Ed Munson accompanied.

room at one of the outposts man
ned by the coast patrol. The ac
tion was a follow-up to the appeal
made by A. T. Shumaker, Red
Cross representative, last week.
Visitors included Jim Pugh and
Paul Reynolds.

REPUBLICAN HEAD
SCOLDS WALLACE
(Continued from Page One)
“Adolf Hitler,” Spangler said to
day in a formal statement, “has
predicted that he would defeat the
United Nations by dividing them.
And the course upon which Mr.
Wallace has set his feet, by at
tempting to label the 25,000,000
voters in America who are op
posed to the New Deal as Fas
cists, is playing right into Hitler’s
hands. Blasted out of his war job
because it had cracked up around
him, exposed as a bungler, as
father of the food shortages in
America, branded as injuring the
war effort by a fellow cabinet
member, he turns to playing pol
itics.”
Spangler attributed to Wallace
“an attempt to set group against
group, farmer against factory
worker, and to unloose 15 months
of political warfare on the coun
try.”
“What is Fascism?" Spangler
asked, and answered himself: “As
symbolized in Europe where it was
born it is an overpowerful, cen
tralized government directed by a
small group of ambitious men at
the expense of the people them
selves, and abetted by bold gov
ernment propaganda.

State Guard Gets Course
To Build Better^ Soldiers
Wilmingtomans may rest easier
in their beds after today—confi
dent tbat they are better protected
from the en?my.
Reports on the toughening pro
cess that the Wilmington Light In
fantry has undergone since it went
away to the North Carolina State
Guard camp at Fort Bragg 10
days ago, official and otherwise,
indicate that the fellows have been
drinking in war techniques in great
gulps. Members of the unit will
j come marcivng home sometime
| Wednesday.
The Wilmington Home Guard
many- of th? men untutored in
heavy Arm;- life before they hit
Fort Bragg—have been drilling,
listening to lectures, watching
demonstrations, movies, and exe
cution in the field of training.
They have been taught how to
deal with mob rioting; how to pa
trol and scout in the event of in
vasion by airborne troops; trans
portation; sanitation supply, com
munication, administration, intel
ligence and medical care; and how
'o handle weapons.
They have listened to Col. Wil
liam S. Pritchard, commanding
officer. District No. 2, Fourth
Service Command, who told them
how important their service was
to state and nation, and have pa
raded in review for Gov. J. Mel
ville Broughton.
Lieut. D. a. Upchurch of the
local organization (home a day
early) summed up the accomplish
ments of the past 10 full days by
commenting: "It was excellent
and thorough training for our men.
They seemed to appreciate it."
All that is on the more formal
side of the ledger. But Cpl. Mar
cus Goldstein sent home a file of
ihe highlights of camp life that
picture more vividly the experi
ences of the city’s 40 guardsmen,
many of whom surrendered their
vacations to seek military knowl
edge that will enable them to
maintain order and protect life
and property.
Here are some ot the corporal s
observations:
“Sgt Skinny Johnson’s wife
packed his bag for camp and upon
arrival he fo’ind to his embarrass
ment that she had tucked in a
beautiful pink bed cover, as well
as a pillow case done in pink ap
plique.
“On skirmish practice. Pvt. Pete
Peterson showed the company how
1o cover ground by straddling the
earth and rocking backwards and
forwards at will.
“Everyday surprises of great
magnitude are in store for us.
Suffice it to say that most of the
surprises have come from the
mess hall. Tonight our company
was last in order for mess. Since
the total strength of the First Bat
talion was not known, rations
v.-ere short. But the jello and
bread were delicious.
“The commendable part of this
is the full cooperation and good
fellowship shown by all the men.
Over 2,000 men from North Caro
lina are here, all ages, classes,
and creeds. But we are as one.
“The hot weather at Fort Bragg
is about the same as that in Wil
mington. However, our fatigue
clothes and activities keep all the
men talking about how much hot
ter it is.
“Sgt. Elbert Poovery thought he
would have a soft snap as supply
sergeant of the company. On ar
rival he found that all supply ser
geants have special details. His
'special” turned out to be the job
of removing trash and refuse from
the First Battalion area.
“Every man in the First Com
pany is an excellent bedmaker
row. Our quarters have stood in
spection with flying colors.
"Cpl. ‘Oscar’ Walter found the
commando tactics very easy. The
problem was to fall on the ground
and then spring promptly to foot.
His stomach bounced him back so
fast the instructor accused him
once of nevei dropping to the
ground.
“Our welcome from Fort Bragg’s
commanding officer was a mas
terpiece.
‘On maneuvers one day Sgt. Can
ady had the scare of his life. En
deavoring to seek cover on skir
mish and after having crawled 20
01 30 yards on his stomach to a
bush, he lifted his head and much
tc his surprise looked squarely into
the muzzle oi an enemy gun. He
was later classified as 'complete
ly dead.’
‘‘Lieut. Frederick Willetts, our
newly appointed First Battalion
Adjutant, is really doing a swell
job at his post and is highly re
spected by all the men. The only
thing is that he seems to know
1oo many commands to bark. He
barked out so many the other day
he got hoarse and by the end of
the day couldn’t talk.”
The anecdotes go on endlessly,
past sunburns, blisters, newly ac
quired abilities to gripe Army
style. But rhe fact remains, the
city is better fortified for all of it.

the United States and the United
Nations.”
The broadcast to Great Britain
was described as a regular daily
feature in which the opinions of
American commentators are quot
ed to inform the British of the
views of the American press and
commentators.
President Roosevelt said he
liked very much what he had read
of Prime Minister Churchill’s
speech to the House of Commons
today. Secretary Hull previously
had indicated that the United
States and Britain are in complete
accord on the treatment of Italy.
Asked for his reaction to the
change in Italy which displaced
the government of Benito Musso
lini, the president said he was
much too old t ohave reactions.
Neither would he comment on a
London report that Mussolini
migm eventually be delivered to
the Allies as a war criminal. He
asked himself many such hypo
thetical questions, he said, and he
was wise enough not to give him
self an answer.
President Roosevelt said that
when Rome was bombed last week
he had no intimation that Musso
lini would make his exit. Asked
for comment on that exit, he said
he thought Secretary Hull had
dealt with it pretty well yester
day.
In a cursory reading of extracts
from Churchill’s speech, Hull
said, he found no material differ
ence between it and his own com
ments. Churchill had said that
war “from every quarter” would
be waged against Italy so long as

British Eighth Army patrols felt

coast.
German troops have been thrown
in on ail sectors of the great semi
circular front to hold critical areas
and ra’ly Italian resistance.
The Nazis attacked viciously in
the central sectors in futile at
tempts to halt the Canadian and
American advances striking dog
gedly into the rough, mountainous
country. Front reports indicated
the Geiman 15th armored division
made the main assault, suffering
bloody losses
The main forces of American
troops was believed pounding
along the north coast battling the
Germans somewhere east of Ter

tured the Americans as advanced
about one-third of the way from
Palermo to Messina, stating that
Nazi airplanes had attacked U. S.
tanks and infantry “east of Cefa

Palermo. Another Berlin broad
cast declared that all Allied at

ihe British Eighth Army was in

the Italian Deople.”
Declaring tnat the United States
and Britain were in closest con
sultation and acting in concert,
he said that if the Italian people
end government continued in the
war on behalf of Germany there
was no choice for the Allies but
to make war upon Italy “from
every quarter north and south,
and from the sea and from the
sir, and by amphibious descents."
Orders to this effect, he added,
already had gone out to Allied
commanders.
The consequence of such a de
cision by the Italians, he continued
will be that in the next few
months Italy will be seared and
scarred and blackened from one
end to the other.”
Churchill said he did not doubt
but that the main wish of the
Italian people was to be ' quit of
their German taskmasters” and
to revive their democratic and
parliamentary institutions.
If they so elected, he said, the
Allid armies could bring to them
rescued Europe.”
“The choice is in their hands,’
he added.
At such a juncture, he advised,
the best course was to let the
Italians “stew in their own juice
for a bit" and to “hot up the
f-re" until the Allies obtained from
Italy the indispensable require
ments for carrying on the war
against the capital foe, Germany.
These requ’rements, it was as
sumed, include air bases.

Italian Government Said
Discussing Peace Terms
(Continued from Page One)
against public gatherings was ig
nored in several cities, notably
Turin, where representatives of
the reconstituted Italian political
parties were reported to have met
last night and drafted a resolution
urging Badoglio to grant the nec
essary permission” for full expres
sion of public opinion in develop
ment of the new national policy.
These representatives, the re
ports reaching Bern said, express
ed the opinion that the present
Italian regime was- a temporary
one, which an Italian diplomat
stated was also Badoglio’s belief.
One was quoted as saying the
Italian people “would always be
grateful” to Badoglio for taking
the initial step to comply with the
wishes of the people, who greeted
the week’end’s developments “r.ot
only with joy, but with a recog
nition of the seriousness of this
hour.”
Communist action party groups
convened at Milan to discuss their
future, then decided to postpone
any action until the premier had
answered the Turin resolution
The Italian reports said there
were signs posted in Milan de
claring that if Badoglio did not
arrive at some quick results the
situation would be critical. They
also told about posters and leaf
lets scattered through Milan urg
ing this four-point program:
1. An honorable peace with the
United Nations.
2. Departure of the Germans
from Italy, and return of the Ital
ian troops from abroad.
3. The arrest of Fascist leaders
responsible for Italy’s suffering.
4. Restoration, when the pres
ent period of emergency had pass
ed, of democratic liberties with
true Italian representation.
Editorially, Neue Zurcher Zei
tung said, "There can be no doubt
that a lively wish of the Italian
people for peace will be expressed.
The "statement in Marshal Bado
glio's proclamation that the war
continues can apparently have
only a controlling, braking func
tion until the opening of the pos
sibility for negotiations, to the in.
itiation whereof the new govern
ment appears driven by the de
velopment of the integral dynam
ics of the situation.”
Badoglio’s continued silence left
unclear exactly what lay ahead.
The German ambassador, Hans
Georg Victor von Macksensen was
keeping in constant touch with the
Italian regime, reports to Bern
said.
Italian newspapers today ex
pressed opposition to Fascism. La
Stampa of Turin editorially de
clared, “Marshal Badoglio has un
dertaken the task of forming a
government with the desire of re
maining outside and above ^ poli
tics.” It expressed the conviction
that King Vittorio Efmanuele wish
ed to restore to Italy her liberal
institutions.
Corriere Della Sera, whose Fas
cist director, Aldo Borelli, was re
placed by Filippo Sacchi. wrote:
“Monday Italy smiled. This peo
ple, who for 20 years have been
deprived of their ancestral liber
ty; this people, whose feelings for
justice have been degraded by an
arbitrary regime; this people,
bloodied by the mutilations of an
unequal war, has again become
able to elevate its soul, find its
force, show its true face. Let us
not have illusions—in a time of
ill - fortune the people can only
count upon itself.”

the morals of the mother of his
children.
