that the revamped measure would

LONDON. Nov. 7. CUP)-Neutral
naval circles reported today that
allied naval units had sighted the
German pocket battleship Deutch-
land in the neighborhood of the
Azores islands.
The Allied naval command has
worked out a definite plan to hunt
down the Deutschland because its
presence in the Atlantic endangers
shipments of Allied war materials
from the United States. a reliable
source reported.
1t was said that the Deutschland'S
presence off Newfoundland 10 days
ago had been confirmed, and that
an attempt was being made to keep
a close check on its movements.
British Naval Minister Winston
Churchill's visit to Paris during the
weekend was said to have been
for the purpose of perfecting plan
to immobilize the Deutschland and
the Admiral Scheer, another Ger
man pocket battleship which has
been reported cruising in the south
Atlantic The information said the
Allied naval command had no
knowledge Of the present where
abouts of the Admiral Scheer al
though it was believed to be still in
the south Atlantic.
It was pointed out that a hunt
for the Deutschland and Admiral
Scheer would be the logical Sc
quence to the lifting of the United
States arms embargo, to clear the
Atlantic shipping lanes for the
transport of millions of dollars
worth of American war supplies.

Todays meeting OF the Council
was authorized by that body at it,
regular monthly meeting last Mon
day night, at which time city extern
sion was discussed and the commit
tee appointed to make a study and
present its recommendations to the
full Council.
Considerable opposition to cxpan-
sion has developed since the pro-
posal became known, but there has
also been extensive support for it.
If the manufacturing plants and
their residential areas were all in
Guided in the extension, it is pe-
lieved Henderson's population Woul1
strike very close to $4,000 persons.
That is what had been urged by
many proponents Of the expansion
project, but members of the COM
nittee expressed doubt if the meas
re could be carried if made as
sweeping as that, and felt that there
was a good chance for the territory
that has been approved by the

February, the monthly report today
revealed. Two Of these were chick

$22,5OO,OOO
Is Loaned By
B. & Lin 1888

The building, savings and loan
associations Of North Carolina have
played major part in the Outstand-
ing record made by North Carolina
in the construction of homes during
1888 as shown in the official figures
issued by the North Carolina Building
ind Loan League.
During 1880, $500 construction
leans were made to the amount Of
1851 900 which represented 421a
percent Of the total of $22, 100000,
which was loaned by the building,
savings and loan associations. 1t was
estimated by Wheeler Martin, of
Williamson, vice-president of the
league that over $15,000,O00 was adj
ded during 1888 to the taxable values
of the local government units OF
North Carolina through the construc-
ton, repair, and renovation Of homes
and buildings financed by these in
stitutions. Thousands of workers
were employed and hundreds CT bust
na: s firms benefited through the
purchase of materials used in this
new construction and repairs.
The building, savings and loan as
sociations have ample funds avail
able for the annual spring repair and
modernization drive. They are anti
cipating building activity anywhere
from ten to twenty-five per cent
greater than last year, according tC
Mr.. Martin.
In addition to these activities in
new construction, in repair and mod
ernization, he stated, the building
savings and loan associations aided
1872 persons to purchase their homes
to the value Of $4,445, 900; and help
ed finance 2,452 other home pur-
chases to the amount Of $3,859,00(
through the recognized amortization
lending plans of these home financ-
ing institutions.
