TELEPHONE CALLS
INCREASE in CITY
Twenty One Per Cent
Climb Noted Since Install
lation Oh Dial System

Daily telephone calls through the
Wilmington exchange have increased
about 21 per cent since the dial sys'
tenn was placed into operation June
%, J. R.. Thomas, manager of the
office here, said yesterday.
In a check prior to the change to
dials, he said, Wilmingtonians aver
aged 8.8 calls per day per telephone.
They now average 11.3 per day per
phone.
Wilmington's approximately $500
telephones make a total Of 70, 200
calls each "a hours, whereas when
the manual system was in operation
they made about $1,000.
Thomas and other officials of the
company said this has been found to
be true in each city in which the
new phones are introduced. They
said, too, that it is Mt due entirely
to the novelty of the new system,
because the high rate of calls con.
tinues latter the novelty has worn
off"
A closer check can be kept on the
calls going through the office now
due to the fact that it is possible to
a record of each time a phone
is lifted from it's hook. These are
recorded on an electrical machine
and permanent records are kept if
desired by the company.
Thomas said despite the newness
of the dial system, complaints re-
garding the service have shown no
increase. In general, he said, sub
scribers have been pleased with the
service.
With one or two exceptions, he

PROMISES
TO HELP WILLKIE
Nebraska Democrat Offers
To Lead Campaign
Against F. D. R.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-R-De.
scribing as sacred" the tradition
al limitation of two terms for a
president, Senator Burke D-Neb)
publicly pledged his support to
Wendell Willkie today and offered
to lead a campaign of "~education''
against another four years f r
President Roosevelt.
The Nebraska democrat, who
has long been at odds with some
new deal policies, made public a
letter to the republican president
ial nominee, in which he stated
that ''in the light of present world
conditions it is essential for our
country to maintain the two-term
limitation on the tenure of Office
of president, I shall work for your
victory at the polls in November"
In Colorado Springs where he is
vacationing, Willkie said he was
greatly pleased" and that many
"other leading democrats" would
back the republican ticket.
J! c. Quigley, Nebrask., demo-
cratic national committeeman, said
Burke "is finally getting into the
political party he has been support
ing for the last six years"
From comments of republicans
on the denomination of Mr.. Roose-
welt, it was apparent that they ex-
pected the third term question to
figure greatly in the campaign.
Representative Martin Of Massa-
chusetts, the party's national chair
man, said in a statement in New
York that it would give the people
a chance to determine whether
they want to toss aside this histor-
ical protection against a one-man
government"
Fl have supreme confidence in
the good judgment of the people,"
he added.
But Senator Norris Qnd = Neb)
said he did not think that the peo-
pie would pay any attention to the
third term issue.
"A majority Of those who oppose
Roosevelt on a third term would
be against him anyway" he said.
"In fact, they belong in the Willkle

SPANISH WORKERS
WANT GIBRALTAR
Support Nations Ambition
Of Joining Axis Powers
In Sharing War Spells

MADRID, July 18.-R-The or
ganized Falangist (Fascist) work
ers of Spain took their cue today
from their chief of state and
marched through the streets OF
Madrid shouting for a Spanish glib
raltar.
They sang, too, "Face to the
SUM-" on this fourth anniversary
of the nationalist revolution, and
put an outpouring of popular feel
ing behind Spain's clear ambition
to join Germany and Italy in shar-
ing the spoils of the British and
French empires.
Two hundred thousand workers
marched in the observance after
Generalissimo Francisco Franco
gave official approval to agitation
for Spanish domination of the
''rock'' which\ Britain h held
since 1904.
Four times the S%paniards have
attempted to regain Gibraltar
which the British took more than
200 years ago through a naval
bombardment and a landing party
of 1900 marines.

BERLIN WELCOMES
VICTORIOUS ARMY
High Command Reports
New And Destructive
Raids Upon Britain

BERLIN, July 18.-R-The bells
of Berlin rang %jubilantly tonight
to welcome home victorious troops
from France, while in western
skies the German airforce struck
with new fury against England.
Even as throngs gathered along
Inter den Linden, the high COM
mand reported new and destructive
bombing raids in Britain and an
nounced German troops had &C.
cupied the French island of Oues-
SAINT, opposite England's Lands
End and commanding the south
ern entrance to the English chan
mel.
Nazi bombers,, said the high
command. attacked Britain's key
shot, 30 miles from London, and
smashed at airports, industrial
plants and harbors in southern and
central England. Other raiding
planes set afre several British YES
sells in the channel and Nazi war
ships somewhere overseas" sank
80, 900 additional tons of British
shipping.
Among detectives reported hit by
bombers we're the airport at Tun-
bridge Wells, an industrial plant
at Eastbourne, Portland harbor
and a large armament factory at
Greenock. Scotland.
The returning troops, soldiers OF
the first Berlin division, were well
coined with a speech by Propa-
ganda Minister Paul Joseph Goeb-
bells after they goose-stepped
through the Brandenburg gate into
PARSER Platz, in the heart OF the
city.
It was the sixth time in German
history that Berlin regiments
turning from war had passed
through the famous archway on
their way to the castle at the 9TH
er end of Inter den Linden, from
the defeat of Napoleon in 1914 to
December 10, 1918, after the World
war. 1

WRITER PRAISES
GREENFIELD LAKE
Leonard Roy, OF National
Geographic, Says 1t Is
Great Asset To City

'sWilmingtonians evidently don't
realize what an asset they have in
Greenfield lake." Leonard Roy,
writer for the National Geographic
magazine, said here yesterday.
He visited the lake and the park
yesterday morning, as well as Or
ton plantation, Castle Hayne, and
other places in the county.
Greenfield, he said, is entirely
unique. 1--WE never seen aything
like it and if properly developed it
could be made into one of the out
standing beauty spots of the entire
nation"
He praised the work being done
by the Greenfield Drive association
in developing the spot. He was

WASHINGTON, July 18.-l "
formation of an experimental unl'
of parachute troops and plans FOL
mass training Of air corps bonn
bordment crews we're disclosed to-
dav bv the War Department.
Secretary Stimson announced
that a test platoon of two officers
and 40 men, chosen from volun-
tpers in the 29th infantry at Fort
Benning. Ca, would undergo para
chute training from July 20 through
August 8 at the Safe Parachute
Company, Hightstown, N. j., near
Fort Dix.
Instruction Planned .
Army air corps men and rep
resentatives of the parachute com
pany will instruct the men.
Although the department said the
tests would be purely experiment
tal," it was indicated that the pla-
toon might become the nucleus OF
larger units after further study OF
use of parachute troops in Euro
pean fighting.
In conjunction with the air corps
program to train 1000 pilots and
$500 bombardiers and navigators
a year, the army announced that
a school for multi-engine con- bat
crews would be opened next March
Is, at Ellington Field, World War
pilot.training center near Hot ston,
Tex.
Such training has been given in
the past but not in specialized
schools.
An appreciation of 81, 687, 800 has
been provided for hangers and
barracks at Ellington field and the
school will accommodate 555 stu
dents when completed, in addition
to a garrison of 200 officers and
l.279 enlisted men.
Ten Weeks Training
Bombardiers will be given 10
weeks Of training.
The experiment with parachute
troops marks a further step to-
ward rebuilding the army along
European lines. Already, two ar
mored divisions similar to G. e r.
many's hard-hitting ''panzer" d.
visions have been organized.

concerted movement into Spain OF
German soldiers - openly armed,
uniformed and mechanically
equipped-was reported today by
Americans who fled troubled Eur
ope through the Spanish peninsula.
Many said that they saw 'thou-
sands of Nazi soldiers" entering
Bilbao by armored car, as well as
choking the streets of Barcelona

Spanish cities.
