LEGRAND OFFERS
N. C. PORT BILL
(Continued from Page One)
leading to or serving existing ports
and equip and maintain all other
port facilities or waterways under
its jurisdiction. It also would be
empowered to condemn waterway
and port rights and right-of-ways
for railroad and highways con
templated for construction.
The bill does not provide for a
State appropriation and specifies
that no State revenues be expanded
unless with the approval of the
General Assembly, the Council of
State, or the Governor.
’• The proposed bill looks toward
a long-range program of any Feder
al funds which might be available
after the war.
The measure was referred to the
.Judiciary One Committee headed
sby Rep. Hatch of Wake.
' From Raleigh last night Rep.
LeGrand explained that the forth
coming adjournment of the As
sembly, together with the last
minute rush of legislation contend
ing for its attention, made it diffi
cult to predict tvhether or not the
Ports bill would come to a vote
before the session ended. If it did,
he said, he foresaw no definite
opposition to its passage. Fifty
hew bills were introduced yester
day in the House alone.
The Senate yesterday passed a
bill, introduced last week by Mr.
LeGrand, to make eligible for
City-County retirement benefits
Miss Columbia Munds, Wilmington

fer, Board of Health nurse.

introduced to the House a measure

Fort Bragg WAC’s Win
Over Local Girls, 28-26
Holding the lead throughout the
intire game except for a brief
period in the third quarter, the
Fort Bragg WAC’s downed the
local Shipyard Independents 28-26.
Getting off to a whirlwind start
Hie visitors took an 8-0 lead be
iore the locals had a chance to
tally. The locals tried to settle
down but the Army lassies were
tb much for them and the Indepen
dents were on the short end of an
1S-15 score at the end of the first
half without taking the lead.
' The locals came back from the
Half and slowly caught the sol
• dierettes in the middle of the third
period only to have the visitors
(feme back out in front 28-26 for
the final whistle.

End Of Nazi Resistance
* Held Hinging On Rhine
(Continued from Page One)

An early effort to hurdle the
river is expected since the longer ;
the crossing is delayed, the more ^
time the Germans will have to <
scrape up troops and bolster east
bank defenses. (
Allied commanders now probably 1
are waiting only for the Third and ;
First Armies to clear the west bank
from Coblenz north to Bonn.
When this is accomplished, the
Allies will have a 150 mile foot
hjold on the .west bank and a wide '
choice of spots for crossing. Then c
the depleted German forces would ^
have difficulty in manning such a •
stretch and putting up any serious [

Daily Prayer
FOR HIGH MINDEDNESS
As we prepare to meet the ene
my at our gales, and on many
fronts, do Thou, O watchful
Father, steadily and safe
guard our minds, so that
we rrxy not fall into fear,
Dr panic, or self-interest, or any
Dther base motive. May we be va
liant soldiers of righteousness, ev
sr loyal to the great and lofty ob
jectives of this war. Keep alive
the spirit of chivalry and pure pa
triotism in our hearts. Save us
from the hurt of hate, except to
ward what Thou hatest. We pray,
f) all - merciful Father, that both
we and our loved ones in service
may be made finer men and truer
patriots because of this present
chastening under Thy hand. May
we, by Thy helpful grace, aban
don all in life that is cheap and
tawdry and unworthy of Sons of
God. Amen.—W. T. E.
Mrs. Roosevelt Rides
Train To View Play;
Attempts Vindication
WASHINGTON, March 7— (JP) —
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt recent
ly told in her newspaper column
of taking a train trip to Baltimore
to see a new play.
Today, at her news conference,
she was asked how she reconciled
the trip with Government requests
that people refrain from traveling
for pleasure.
She replied that she did not
think that a short journey ‘‘in a
coach displaces anyone.”
‘‘Also, I have a special interest
in that play,” she added, ‘‘because
it is about returning war veterans.
I have urged writers and play
wrights to do some things on that
theme.”
The round trip from Washing
ton to Baltimore is 80 miles.

Assembly Urged To Work
For Early Adjournment
RALEIGH, March 7. —UP)— An
admonition that all bills should
be placed in the hoppers this week
to speed adjournment was voiced
today by Speaker Oscar Richard
son, while the Senate received the
$129,000,000 finance bill amend
ments and set them for special
consideration on second reading
tomorrow.
In asking representatives to
speed up their work, Richardson
said that through yesterday, the
55th day of this session, only 772
bills had been considered, where
as the 1943 Assembly adjourned on
tbe 55th day after the House had
considered 858 measures.
Richardson said he might ap
point a calendar committee short
ly. All bills would be referred to
that committee, which usually is
appointed just before adjourn
ment. At the current pace, he
said, it will take 11 days to com
plete the work now before the
house.
Similar bills to lend financial
assistance to the state fair and
its property here were introduced
by Reps. Edwards of Greene and
Quinn of Duplin and Senator
Eagles of Wilson. They would au
thorize the issuance of $100,000 in
bonds, with an interest rate to be
approved by the Council of State.
General fund monies could not be
employed, but the State Agricul
ture Department, which super
vises the fair, would be allowed
to invest up to 1 per cent of its
surplus in the fair fund.
A bill to authorize the governor
to issue certificates of the State’s
appreciation to the families of
deceased servicemen and service
men themselves was sent v? by
Reps. Hatch of Wake and Moseley
of Guilford. There are approxi
mately 300,000 North Carolinians
in the armed services.
Rep. Cover of Cherokee sent up
a bill to appropriate $50,000 for
assistance to indigent persons suf
fering from cancer. Her bill to
provide for a State cancer com
mission has been killed.
Another bill by Eagles would
authorize the State to become self
insurant, against loss by fire on
state-owned property, furniture
and equipment.
Reps. Kerr of Warren and Uz
zell’ of Rowan introduced a bijl
incorporating the recommenda
tions of a subcommittee which
studied methods of effecting a
more equitable system for taxa
tion on insurance premiums. The
bill would levy a flat tax of two
per cent on gross receipts upon
all insurance companies, foreign
and domestic, and a four per cent
tax on contracts applicable to lia
bilities under the workmen’s com
pensation action.
