STATEMENTS ON
FOREIGN POLICY
LEND AID TO ENEMY
Secretary Of State Says
Few Writers Make Un
true Report On Events
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. —(.&•)
Secretary of State Hull said today
that ‘‘a few among the writers
and commentators” had been
‘Tending aid and comfort to the
enemy” by making untrue state
ments relating to international re
lations of the United States.
Hull made his remarks at a press
conference and then for emphasis
issued them to the press for direct
quotation. He volunteered his views
and did not specifically connect
them with any of such recent devel
opments as the reported resignation
of Undersecretary Sumner Welles,
or the replacement of Maximum
Litvinoff as Soviet ambassador.
The secretary’s statement:
It is unfortunate tnat a iew
among the writers and commen
tators, whose utterances are easily
distinguishable from those of all
others in an excess of zeal for
one theory or another, have dealt
carelessly with the facts and have
made statements which are abso
lutely untrue.
“This relates often to interna
tional relations existing between
us and other countries. It would
be most helpful to this government
if they could see fit and see their
way to check their facts as to
their accuracy and possible mis
leading nature before they put out
their publicity.
“They know and we know that
too often a misleading statement
, or a false statement is immediately
seized by Berlin and Tokyo and
widely distributed with the sole
view to creating confusion and
misunderstanding among the Al
lied nations whose full cooperation
is so urgently needed in the pro
secution of the war.
“The sum total of these publi
city operations has too often the
effect of lending aid and comfort
to the enemy while sometimes
arousing suspicion and confusion,
by reason of their false nature,
among Allied nations when there
is no remote call for any such
misrepresentation.”
When asked whether these latter
remarks referred particularly to
relations with Russia, Hull did not
give a direct reply but said it
was an accumulation of this sort
of practice which in more than
one instance injured the relations
existing among a number of the
Allied nations.
Hull said he hart called special
attention to it today because the
war was at an acute stage and
the government was doing every
thing possible to keep up friendly
relations between the United States
and all the Allies, and above all
to maintain a friendly understand
ing and a complete spirit of whole
hearted cooperation.

culable, he explained.
Basd on the safety record of
the current year, each civilian em
ployee of the district, including
contractors’ employees engaged on
construction work under the su
pervision of the district, can ex
pect to work for a work-span of
77 1-3 years and, figuratively, ex
pect to suffer only one disabling
injury during that period. This in
dividual, long-term service, with
out frequent lost time injuries, is
directly due to three main phases
of the Engineer safety program—
the removal of hazardous condi
tions; the elimination of unsafe
practices, and a continual educa
tional program designed to create
safety consciousness among a 11
employees, Mr. Hunt pointed out.

Carolina Beach Postal
Office Seeks New Spot
Business Rush Demands More
Space For Resort Center
With business steadily increas
ing, it has been necessary for the
Carolina Beach postoffice to seek
more spacious quarters, Postmis
tress Annie M. Morton reported
Friday.
For the first six months of this
year the stamp sales have
amounted to $12,033.35, while 12,
430 money orders amounting to
$295,109.15 were issued.
Due to this increase the office
space was doubled the first of this
year, she said. At the present
time, three regular and three sub
stitute clerks are employed in ad
dition to a special delivery mes
senger. Two years ago the office
employed one regular clerk, add
ing another during the summer
rush.
Because of increased business,
the resort’s postoffice was ad
vanced from third to second class,
effective July 1, 1943. This ad
vancement was due to the postage
stamp sales for the calendar year
1942 w'hich amounted to $13,487.94.
During this same period, but not
considered in determining the
class, 16,993 money orders amount
ing to $367,525.28 were issued.

Henderson is recognized as one
of the most skillful arrangers of
music in the nation, having been
awarded the gold trophy for this
distinction twice.
His famous theme song, “Chris

a popular favorite in music and
dance circles for many years, rfis

Employment Service said Friday.
Mr. Scroggs declared that the

was hit, or did they return the
fire, it was said.
(The Swedish Motala radio said
tonight in a broadcast reported by
the U. S. foreign broadcast intel
ligence service that the incident
had occurred the day before the
fishing vessels were sunk.
(In another broadcast, the Mo
tala radio said Swedish anti-air
craft guns this morning drove off
a “foreign” plane which came over
Swedish territorial waters at Sim
rishamn on the southeast coast.)
The Swedish communique con
cerning the fishing boat incident
said the navy was investigating
and that the Swedish legation in
Berlin had been asked to learn
whether any of the 12 men report
ed lost had been rescued.
The Stockholm newspaper Da
gens Nyheter declared in an edi
torial that the attack was “brutal,”
adding that “it surpasses what we
were exposed to from that direc
tion in the last war.”
The Dagens Hyheter pointed out
that the Nazis had promised to
instruct their armed forces to re
spect Swedish neutrality, and add
ed:
“It is the general opinion that
the government, after a short dis
cussion with the German govern
ment, cannot just cross over this
incident and pass on.”

IS POST WAR AIM
Senator Maybank Of South
Carolina Expresses View
On Peace Plans
BY HOWARD SUTTLE
Star-News Washington
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—\B—A
“sane world leadership,” directed
jointly and in cooperative spirit by
the United Nations is the post-war
objective of a vast majority of the
American people, in the opinion of
South Carolina’s Senator Burnett
R. Maybank, who returned here to
day following a speaking tour of
New England states.
As a member of one of the nine
Congressional “teams” who went
out from Washington to enlist ci
vilian support for the Ball-Hatch
Burton-Hill post-war pease reso
lution, Senator Maybank delivered
18 speaches in 13 cities. His part
ner on the tour was Rep. Robert
Hale, Republican, Maine.
"I found great interest in all
parts of New England in the fnove
for united leadership of Democra
tic nations for a permanent peace,
Maybank declared.
He reported that, in many of
the Massachusetts and New Hamp
shire cities vast crowds who could
not obtain seats and followed close
ly what was said concerning for
American participation in plans
for a permanent peace.
"My experience further convinc
ed me,” he said, “that the people
of the United States desire that
our country take a leading part in
foreign affairs and in all negotia
tions for the future.
A vast majority of the people I
have seen are hopeful of very
close cooperation and collabora
tion with our Allies—first, to win
the war, and then to win the peace
and remain united in some form of
world federation to prevent future
wars.”
The Ball-Hatch-Burton-Hill reso
lution would place Congress on
record as approving post-war col
laboration and accord to the Presi
dent certain powers under which
he would be enabled to act in ne
gotiating agreements between the
United States and other nations.

MOUNTBATTEN MAY
USE VINEGAR JOE
(Continued From Page One)
Mountbatten would hardly be re
garded as a promotion.
Mountbatten is expected to leave
Washington tonight or tomorrow,
probably to return to London be
fore proceeding to Chungking to
discuss with Chiang the relation
ship between the projected cam
paigns in Burma and the war in
China. After he sees the Chinese
leader, he should be able to an
nounce the makiai of his staff
and his choice for deputy com
mander, and to set up his head
quarters—probably at New Delhi,
India.
The British Commando chief,
named two days ago as Allied
supreme commander for the new
Southeast Asia command, arrived
in Washington yesterday from Can
ada and spent the afternoon in
conferences with Admiral Ernest
J. King and in an informal—and
off the record—discussion with
newspaper reporters.
This morning he spent two hours
at the War Department, talking
with acting Secretary John J. Mc
Cloy. General George C. Marshall,
chief of staff, and General H. H.
Arnold, Air Forces commander.
Then he completed his series of
conferences by returning to the
Navy for a brief talk with -Secre
tary Knox.

BIG BOMBER FLEETS
AGAIN OVER EUROPE

gust 26, show 80 to 100 bomb bursts
on the landing field and perimeter
track and between 70 and 80 in
the plane dispersal area.
At least three or four hangars
received direct hits.
The entire area of concealed
hangars and plane servicing equip
ment was covered by bursts, the
announcement said. The majority
of shelters and hangars, including
the headquarters building, “must
have suffered heavy damage.”
Since the Marauders began their
attacks from British bases six
weeks ago, they have averaged
almost a raid a day. They have
pounded some airfields as many
as seven times.
Britons passed the third anni
versary of the first big German
air attack on London last night
quietly with no sign of any Nazi
raiders.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27—(/P)—Prices
in hogs market today were 10
cents higher on lighter weights
and reached the months peak
price of $15.15. Receipts were
small at 8,000 head and packers
took an additional 3,500 billed and
shipped direct. Cattle trade was
generally steady, but there was a
scarcity of steers. The top price
paid was $16.00. Shippers took
double choice Washington spring
lambs for $15.25, the top price
paid today.
With hog producers still sending
small numbers to market the bid
ding grew in competition and
prices equaled last Monday’s high,
which was top price since April.
Shippers took 3,500 head and small
packers were active in the buying
of light stock.
The smaller than usual cattle
market for Friday was quickly
cleaned up by eastern buyer or
ders and local killers who took
most of the available good and
choice supply. Steers were scarce
and the top price was paid for
two loads scaling 1140 pounds.
Very little above medium grade
offered here.
Washington spring lambs led the
market and were sold to shippers.
With only 1,500 head brought here,
shippers took 10,000 on direct con
signment.
