SHIPYARD’S FIRST WOMAN EMPLOYE TO SPONSOR SHIP Miss Margaret Sellers, of Wil mington, the first woman employ ed by the North Carolina Ship building company, has been se lected to christen the S. S. White Falcon, 150th vessel to near com pletion here, when jt goes down the ways at 11 o’clock Wednesday morning. In announcing the appointment of Miss Sellers for the honor, of ficials of the company said Tues day that she established an ex ceptionally good attendance and efficiency record since entering the yard. Her attendants will be Mrs. L. V. Swann and Miss Dorothy Forbes, both of Wilmington. The S. S. White Falcon is the 34th C-2 type ship to be built by company and is named for a famous American clipper ship. The original White Falcon, built ■t Pittston, Me., in 1853, was owned by M. O. Roberts of New lorK ana was engage a m tiauc principally with China and the west coast of Central America and was never on the San Francisco run. During the winter of 1856 1857, in company with the Great Republic, queen of clippers and other fine American ships, fh* was under charter to the French government carrying stores from Marseilles to the Crimea. Early in 1862 she was reported as ashore at Foo Chow, being floated with the loss of a portion of her keel. She was docked and repaired at Hong Kong, later pro ceeding to Manila. She sailed thence March 2nd and arrived at New York on June 20th. Shortly after her arrival at New York, on this passage, the Falcon was seized by the government on account of her ownership then be ing with Southerners. On Aug. 12, 1862 she was sold by order of the i Prize commissioners for $21,000 ! to Boston parties. Under command > of Captain William L. Merry she left New York October 10, 1862 ' with 1,400 tons of coal to be dis- < tributed at San Juan del Sur to the steamers of Commodore Van- i derbilt’s Nicaragua Line. . After her cargo was distributed, the Falcon returned in ballast to San Francisco, . arriving Jan. 3, 1864, in 21 days from Acapulco. She was soon after sold for $28, 000 gold to Canavero & Co., of Lima, N. Larco of §an Francisco becoming her agenj She became the Peruvian ship IJjapoleon Cana vero and was used to transport coolies from China to the Chincha island guano deposits. On a pas sage from China to Callao, early in 1866, her coolie passengers be came rebellious and were driven below by force of arms, after which the hatches were put on and secured. The coolies rather than be suffocated, set fire to the ship and the crew finding they could not extinguish the flames left in the boats without opening the hatches, thus leaving the 650 unfortunates below to perish. The crew was later picked up by a passing ship. DA S LFLY WA )ND FLAG CAMP DAVIS, Mar. 7.—(Special) The Minute Man flag will soon take its place under Old' Glory on the flagstaff of the Camp Davis parade ground as a result of the showing this camp made in the Fourth War Loan 'drive. With an increase of $278,000 over the Third War Loan drive, both military and civilian personnel here bought a total of $778,368 worth of bonds during the drive which ended February 29, accord ing to a report made by Capt. L. B. Wantuck, War Bond Officer. This is an increase of 55.6 per cent over the amount purchased in the Third War Loan drive. During the drive, Camp Davis soldiers bought $271,113.25 worth of bonds, and civilian employees bought $34,725.10 in bonds. Military payroll deductions were $215,020.61 and civilian personnel deductions $62,917.67. These figures show an increase of $20,000 monthly in mili tary personnel payroll deductions and $6,343 monthly in civilian pay roll deductions. The above figures have no con nection with the $870,000 worth of bonds sold at various rallies in neighboring cities and towns in which Camp Davis soldiers parti cipated and in some cases conduct ed. Approximately 996 new allot ments were taken out by military personnel and 250 new and increas ed allotments were taken out by civilian personnel. On the final date of the drive 1,849 of the 1,974 civilian employees on this post were subscribing for bonds by payroll deduction, result ing in 93.67 per cent subltribing and 10.5 per cent of the total pay roll being deducted. The top-ranking civilian depart ments with the highest payroll de ductions were the following who had a 100 per cent record: Adju tant General, Post Exchange, Transportation, Camp Property Engineer, Finance, and the AA School. Close runner-up was the Quartermaster department with a percentage of 93.7. Plans to continue the War Bond rating of the camp and to assist in future bond drives are now be ing made. These plans include the War Bond Council and acts to show appreciation for civilian participa tion.

DESERT VICTORIES SHOWN TO J-CEES Members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce met last night in ihe banquet hall of the Friendly Cafeteria for their regular weekly meeting, at which time a motion picture entitled “Desert Victories” was shown through the courtesy of the public relations office at Camp Davis The picture was produced by 20th Century Fox, and was the story of the British Eighth Army’s victories against the Germans in Egypt. The film was taken from pic tures of the British Eighth and from captured film taken by the Germans themselves. Desert fighting and modern war fare was the subject of the film. The story began with the plans of General Montgomery to smash through the strong lines of the German troops in the Egyptian desert His plans included offen sive fighting the same as that of a huge crowbar, breaking through the solid wall of defense and work ing for complete victory. The picture ended with the vic torious British troops passing in re view before Winston Churchill mission accomplished. TT MARINES CONTINUE DRIVE ON RABAUL (Continued from Page One) command is finding it difficult to maintain its fleet at Truk and al ready may have withdrawn it* first line units from that vaunted Central Pacific fortress, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz said in Wash ington yesterday. •‘We are going in” to Truk, said Rear Admiral Edward L. Coch rane, chief of the bureau of ships. He told a House appropriations committee that the United States Navy planned to establish facilities there “by the first of January, 1945.” Guardians Bombed Ponape and Kusaie, eastern guardians of Truk, were bombed by Army Liberators Sunday, Paci fic fleet headquarters announced. Heavy explosions were set off in the supply dump of Ponape air field. Navy Liberators hit Nauru, 500 air miles southeast of Kusaie. Army and Navy search planes joined in attacking four by-passed atolls in the eastern Marshalls. They were not named but undoubt edly they were Wotje, Maloelap, Mili and Jaluit, which lie in a semi circle around Majuro island. Secretary of Navy Knox said the American Navy has 900 combatant ships and ‘‘this doesn’t include any small stuff.” British efforts in the Orient so far have been confined largely to Burma, where American troops now have taken over the spotlight. United States jungle troops fanned out from captured Walawbum in northern Burma to close the pinc ers on 2,000 trapped Japanese. American-trained Chinese advanc ed from the opposite direction. Some suicide enemy units in Wa lawbum are being wiped out. rr_ GREAT VARIETY OF CHARGES FLY (Continued from Page One) drama unfolds,” Miller told the House, “you will find moving most ly behind the scenes the significant name of Thomas J. Corcoran, once an aide to Mr. Roosevelt. It will be shown later on that Mr. Noble em ployed the former chief counsel of the FCC (William J. Dempsey) at the suggestion of Mr. Corcoran and that Mr. Corcoran was in the picture to the point .where he may have shared in a fee estimated to run as high as $50,000.” No Subversive Tinge Chairman Fly of the Federal Communications commission said today that Pearl Harbor authori ties, distrusting the Japanese many months before they attacked, kept a close check on Japanese-lan guage broadcasts by Hawaiian sta tions but found no subversive tinge. The question of whether Japa nese-language programs might en danger the area came up “early in 1941,” Fly told the House com mittee investigating broad charges against the conduct of the FCC. Fly filed a flat denial of all the charges, including one that he blocked the armed forces’ request to take over from the FCC control of foreign broadcast intelligence. He said the Army. Navy and Federal Bureau of Investigation | had in fact, commended the co operation they got from the FCC and had entrusted his agency with sole resnonsibdity for running down any enemy radio transmit ters in Hawaii. None was found.
