The Town of Southport later au-
thorized Ewing to go forward with
the work and carry on negotiations
looking toward the fulfillment of
the requirements of the federal
government, in order to insure the
yacht basin being built.
Ewing then obtained for the
Town of Southport a deed in fee
simple to the property, where the
basin is to be dredged, and also
secured the necessary easements
to the property surrounding the
basin to be used for spoil disposal
areas.
Ewing is now negotiating with
private interests in order to obtain
necessary funds with which to meet
the other requirements of the fed
eral government on the part of To-
cal interests. The project is as
sured, when all of these federal
government requirements are full
filed.

Up the Gudbrandsdalen, a valley
lying northwest-southeast across

Norwegian troops were reported

German dispatches said the in

CAMPAIGN BACK-FIRES
British Troops That Have
Landed AT Andalsnes
May Face Difficulties
BY PRESTON OLIVER

BERLIN, April 29.-P-A British
attempt to squeeze the German-held
port of Trondheim in a 200-mile
pincers movement has back-fired into
a German push from five directions
on Allied forces in central Norway,
an authoritative source here indi-
Gated tonight.
These sources said the Allied at
tempt to clamp twin holds on Trond-
helm from Andalsnes, 100 miles
south of Trondheim, and from Nam
$685., an equal distance north of the
port, had been converted into a five
ply German movement on Andals-
mes.
May Face Difficulties
1t was said there is a prospect
that the British troops who came
ashore at Andalsnes soon will be in
difficulties.
The strength of the British land
ing party at Ardalsnes is not known
here but has been estimated at
about a brigade of 5000 men.
The German air force was active
again today off the western coast
of Norway and a great number OF
British transport ships were dam
aged, with one set afire, DNB, Off
cial German news agency reported.
(The British war office said heavy
enemy air attacks on Andalsnes and
Mode, another port west of Andals-
mes has been carried out but mem
toned no damage.)
The Germans were said to be driv-
ing, southwark from Trondheim to
meet another German force pushing
UP the Osterdalen eastern Valley
from Oslo. The troops were re-
ported within rs miles of meeting, al
though the point of the expected
junction was not designated.
Picture In Brief
The picture tonight in brief was:
l.. German troops were driving
southwark from Trondheim toward
British-held Storen, 35 miles south
of the port. This column appeared
to have The best chance of connect
ing with a strong German unit
which had pushed beyond Roros, SO

the large oil companies is contem-
plating the installation of a serv-
ice station there for the purpose
of providing suitable facilities for
boats using the yacht basin.
After the receipt of bids for the
work, the army engineers office
said, the contract will probably be
awarded sometime next month.
Before the federal government
would dig the proposed yacht basin
there, it required that local inter-
ests acquire the necessary rights
of ways, suitable spoil disposal
areas, and make provision for bulk
heading, piers, walkways, and
other facilities which would be
made available to the general pub
lie.
The Town of Southport was not
in a position financially 10 meet
these requirements of the federal
government and Allen C. Ewing,
of Wilmington eld Southport, be-
came interested in the project.

While the Yugoslav foreign office
denied categorically Italian and Ger
