The letter in text was as follows:
You will recall that your oper-

believe that your operations here
II started anew, would be success
full and profitable.
We are glad to advise that
since your former operations here,
we have a modern and very COM
n1ete athletic stadium, the cost of
which appropriated $500, 900. This
pIant has concrete stands, ade-
ouate and pleasant dressing
rooms. two diamonds and is To-
Gated just south of Greenfield

a mile beyond the city limits"
Of course, that's some induce
ment 10 the Reds to place a farm
here, but in view of the competi-
ton which will be offered by other
cities, We believe that Wilmington
will have to put up a little more.
We have the physical plant here,
but a certain amount of money
will be needed.
Don't Play Favorites
Carolina and Tulane are renew
ing their colorful gridiron warfare
al Chapel Hill Saturday,, and up
tc now there hasn't been a favorite
named. But just in case one is
named for that game you'd better
think twice before you bet on it.
For the history of the games
between these two teams show
that the underdog has always won
so far. The Tar Heels were the
mderdogs last year and even if
they didn't win they tied the Green
Wave and got more recognition
for that than if they had walloped
them.
This is one game where it does
not pay to play favorites. And
there's a lot more games like it. !

: Two cosmetic jars full of raw
opium became a liability instead

give him that authority and sub
mitted proposed draft of a bill.
Several weeks ago the president
said that he wanted to mobilize
sections of the national guard inn
mediately for intensive training and
explained that congressional au-
thorization would be necessary.
At the present he can call out
the national guard only for a linn
tied two weeks training service in
peace time. Even then, the militia
men are under disciplinary author
ity of the governors of the various
states.
Under present statutes the ma
tional guard comes under full fed
eral authority only if the nation
is engaged in war.
Mr.. Roosevelt has proposed to
call up four infantry divisions of
the guard and several anti-aircraft
and coast artillery regiments for
intensive training.
He advised the Senate today that
he desired the proposed legislation
to apply also to the organized re-
serves.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that he re-
allied the proposed training would
require sacrifices by the men in
volved and promised they would be
returned to private life as soon as
they have attained the desired de-
gree" of efficiency.
His new request came while the
Senate marked time awaiting the
formal committee action on the
BurkeWadsworth conScription bill.
This action was scheduled for to-
morrow. Formal Senate debate may
be delayed some days, however,
pending further sounding of public
opinion and discussion of compro-
mise plans.
Considerable opposition has de-
veloped to the measure, which re-
quires the registration of all men
from 18 to 81 for defense duties.
Men from 81 to As would be liable
for combatant service.
CIO president John L. Lewis

East Loses Hone
For Relief from
Swe|tering Heat
By UNITED PRESS

The east, sweltering in the 18th
day of heat wave that has caus-
ed hundreds of deaths and made
urban life all but intolerable. had
its hopes of relief dashed Monday
by the weather bureaus pronounce
ment that a previously expected
cool spell wouldn't maserialize.
Heat returning to the central
states for the second time blocked
off a mass of cool air which had
been headed toward the Atlantic
from the Great Lakes area and left
a large part of the nation blanket
ed under a suffocating layer of
humid, torrid air.
The toll of deaths attributed one
way or another to the heat was be-
tween 500 and 600 and mounting.
Millions sought relief at beaches
and resorts-more than third
of New York citys 100000 went
to the seashore or the country Sum-
day-but the weather bureau said
there was no relief in sight
