BY WILLIAM L. WHITE,

ABOARD S. S. REX (By Air
maiD.-Well, the war is beginning
to soak in. This ship, which arrived
In New York loaded to the scuppers
with several thousands American
tourists ordered out of Europe, is
sailing as empty as the tomb of
Rameses II. There are about hun
dred of us, counting both cabin and
tourist class. Like jelly glass full
OF ants dumped into haystack we
wander through her great and lone
ly bars, libraries, lavish salons and
sun decks, seldom seeing another
face. At dinner we are huddled in
one little corner of her great dining
saloon.
The Rex is almost in the Queen
Mary class. This morning at break
fast the young man with the red,
white and green enamel Fascist
party emblem in his lapel( which
somehow always reminds me of a
Sigma Nu pledge button informed
me proudly that she was only Is
minutes per day slower than the
Queen Mary. while in college ]
counted some of my warmest friend
ships among the Sigma Nus)
Tourist Insurance.
The Italians built these ships dur
Ing the late tWenties as giant play
grounds for Americans en- route to
Europe, to ensure Italy her fair
share of the tourist business, and
Tor years our robust and carefree
American voices echoed up and down
their rubber tiled corridors, over
the vast decks. Today I am the only
American in our dining salon.
The State Department refuses all
passports, America is more cut off
from Europe than at any time since
the Napoleonic wars, and my hand
tul OF fellow passengers Are glum.
glazed-eyed Europeans on their way
back to a war.
But we cannot talk of this thing
we all think of. We mention items
OF news but then we stop, because a
strange cold fear stops our tongues
when we would express an opinion.
u mas got me, TOO, although under
international law I am free Amer
ican and entitled to shoot my face
off in whatever direction pleases me.
I only know that I do not and, in
consequence am stifled without
knowing what stiles me or the
words to say it.
They Don't Fight It.
But whatever 1t is, it has been
sitting this little knot of Europeans
for a long time, and they have
stopped trying to fight their way out.
This evening, gathered in the smok-
ing room for movies, we saw a very
inspiring italian newsreel which
was largely about Mussolini, who, as
we know, has inspired his country to
create a new nation. 1t was q
vibrant document, with bands, gen.
erals and inspiring shots of II Duce
1eaping from his airplane, timber as
q gazelle and yet firm as a rock. I
can testify that it inspired me. I
know that it inspired the newsreel
editor, who dubbed in all the martial
airs and the bursts of wild applause

on the sound track. The Sigma Nus
were In full force In the smoking
room, wearing their red, white and
green pledge buttons, looking very
handsome, and smelling even better
from the fresh, glistening slickum
on their neatly combed black Sigma
Nu pompadours. Certainly those
vibrant shots of II Duce and all the
patriotic music and noises on the
sound track must have inspired
them, and I think the reason they
did not applaud was because nobody
else in the smoking room applauded,
the inspiring newsreel shots being
received in silence which in demo-
cratic America would be misinter-
preted as stony.
Why They Don't Clap.
I think the Sigma Nus did not
clap. first, because clapping is un-
dignifled; second, because enough
enthusiastic noises had already been
provided by the man who made the
sound track, and thirdly, because it
was so dark in the smoking room
that no one could see whether the
Sigma Nus clapped or not. There
can be no doubt of their deep de-
votlon to the principles of Fascism
which have made Italy great ma
tlon, with the trains all running on
time. I know without asking that
all OF the Sigma Nus would tell me
this. and If I were a young italian
anxious to serve my country and get
ahead In business I would certainly
get myself pledge button ano
wear it conspicuously on all possible
occasions.
Since I am not, I am brushing up
on the language, as I have not
spoken italian extensively since
1926, and so only with the aid of a
dictionary can find the exact Ital-
ian equivalent of common American
expressions such as. for instance,
the slang phrase double talk" so
usefully and universally used in our
country.

'Muni' League
Program Will
Be Broad One
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 14.-With John NJ
Carmody, big chief of the federal
works program as the principal
speaker for Saturday night, culminat-
ing two days of serious discussion of
problems peculiar to towns and
cities, the League of Municipalities
has arranged a Well-balanced pro-
gram for its 30th annual convention
at Ocean Terrace hotel, Wrightsville
Beach. Registration begins thursday
and the executive committee will
dine that night, but the real conven-
ton get under way Friday morning.
Probably the most valuable part
of the program for those attending
will be the group breakfast round
table discussions Saturday. Mayors
and governing boards of towns with
population Of over 5000 will meet in
one group; those of towns less than
5000 in another; city managers in
third, municipal clerks and finance
officers in still another, and towns
and city attorneys together, and fl
nally the managers or superinten-
dents of municipality owned electric
and gas plants.
All day Friday and from about
noon till night on Saturday the dele
gates will meet in general sessions
to hear speeches and discussions of
general municipal problems. Inter-
spersed between these serious dis
cuSSlOnS will be periods of recreation
and sport.
Saturday night Mr. Carmody will
be the chief speaker at the annual
banquet, followed by installation of
neWly-elected officers and the an
nual convention ball.
Considerable interests centers in
Mr. Carmody's address, in view of
the restricted public works program
under the ECONOMY bloc" vote in the
recent Congress. Federal money will
be scarcer and more difficult to OBJ
tain and the town and city authori-
ties are interested in knowing just
how to go about getting their full
share of what is available.

Work Given
Donestics

Although a shortage of domestic
service workers has been created by
the opening of leaf tobacco factories
in this area, the Henderson office of
the North Carolina State Employ
ment Service last week placed seven
such workers, it was announced to-
day by J. S. Guide, manager of the
office
Mr. Guide said the entire resources
of his office are being used to assure
Henderson housewives that no avail
able service workers are going un-
employed. He further asserted that
cards had been sent to all Negro
women with service experience who
are registered at his office, inquir-
ing as to whether or not they are
available for work. These persons
are being transferred to jobs as fast
as they respond, Guide said.
The manager of the office said
some $50 workers were placed in to-
bacco factory employment last week,
most of them in re-drying and stem
ming establishments. Some have
found work here but most Of them
are understood to have been sent to
plants in Oxford, where there was
heavy demand.

In London, the discussions between

A government spokesman, COM

1t was admitted that no report on

Burckhardt made the call at Hitler's

This impression was confirmed and
deepened when later we heard him
in his own pulpit at Henderson. He
is reputed to have a strong appeal
for young people and to be splen-
