WASHINGTON.-Pretty much in
spite of himself. Congressman Joe
Martin Of Massachusetts is becOm-
ing more and more prominent as a
dark horse in the Republican prcsi-
GENITAL race
So much is this so that. when
he resigned recently as Republican
national committeeman from MaSsa-
chuSettS. the capital generally spec
ulated that he did SO to strip for
action in the fight for convention
votes.
That happens not to be true. AS
minority leader in the house, Mar
tin is just too busy to keep the ma
tional committee post and devote
his time to settling local party Squab-
bleS. He recently told caller, The
only Job | want is speaker of the
house" and he means it. He'll get
that job if the Republicans get a
majority in the next congress. and
he is working hard toward that end.

Local Junior Firemen Attend
Demonstration At Oil Terminal

About forty members of the Jun.
LOT ilremen's organizations from
Illeston. Hemenway, and Isaac
scar schools yesterday witnessed
a III fighting demonstration at

Sunset Park.
The demonstration was staged

by the Wilmington Junior Cham
Der OF Commerce with the Texas
company.
l.. c. LeGwin, Jr., told the Junior
tiremen the two methods of ex-
tlngulshing fires are by cooling
and smothering. On wood or trash
1lres, he said, water is used to cool
the substance that is burning.
The blaze. is extinguished when
the substance that was afire is no
longer hot enough to give off in
flammable vapors. The second
method smothering, is used to
fight oil fires.

was the putting out of an open

Net phase of the exhibition fea-
tured the .Physter extinguisher.
The liquid, when thrown into the
fire, became heated, forming a
dense gas which cut off the air
supply and smothered the fire.
The Physter extinguisher is the
type used to fight electrical fires
because the liquid is a non-con-
ductor of electricity. Demonstra-
tors said it is most efficient
when used in a closed space for
example, auto or truck motors, and
any electrical motors.
Junior firemen were advised that
the main thing to remember about
an electrical fire is to cut off the
current first. Final demonstration
was a much larger vat of gasoline
which was extinguished by means
OF foam generation.
The stream of foam was shot
across the vat to the opposite side
where it accumulated and gradu-
ally slid back across the surface

thehts for the approximately 1880
negro soldiers that will be stationed
at the camp in two negro regiments.
There will be six white regiments at
Holly Ridge.
Mayor Thomas E. Cooper assured
members of the committee that the
city will have sufficient police pro-
lection. Col. Montgomery said that
military police will be on detail in
wilmington and will take care of the
situation so far as the soldiers are
concerned.
However, he pointed out that many
u~ndesirables, including pickpockets,
gamblers, crooks and prostitutes, will
flock to the city-are beginning to
arrive now-and that some steps
Should be taken to care for them.
In regards to the problem of pros.
titution, several members suggested
that strict regulation be put into ef-
LeCt m1neQldCely.
But above all, the soldiers in the
city should be provided with some
form Of entertainment, he said. In
connection with this, Lieut.. Specs
said that Wilmington most certain
ly" should have Sunday movies. He
expressed surprise that the city
didn't already have them,
In regards to the problem of rent
and food price increases, Col. Mont
gomery said that his experience in
similar situations were that food and
rent prices were increased. He urged
that the Wilmington committee do
something to prevent this, pointing
out that a majority Of the persons
coming here cannot afford prices
any higher than now exist.
Lieut.. Specs termed such practices
a vicious circle" and said that in
practically all cases. the practice Of
raising rents and food prices BOOM
eranged on the person that started
ii and on the city as a whole.
W. M. Hewlett, a member Of the
Wilmington real estate board, said
that his board was trying to hold
down rent prices as much as possible
and that a survey is being conducted
in regards to providing housing for
officers.
Lieut.. Specs estimated that there
will be 900 officers stationed at Hol-
ly Ridge and that half of these will
probably bring their families here.
He said that it is probable that the
Public Housing Authority will erect
homes for the non-commissioned Of
ficers and their families near the
post reservation.
Chairman Page said that every
member Of the various committees
v ill be called on to render all the
assistance possible in meeting the
emergencies as they rise.

Other private building is seen just
south of the reservation where con-
struction has been begun on a build
ing in which a businessman plans
to feed 200 workers a meal. The
building is being erected on a piece
of property fronting o. the highway
for 240 feet just south of the reser-
walton.
The temporary offices of the con
tractors, engineers and quartermas-
ter corps, now located in Whining
ton, will be moved to Holly Ridge as
soon as the office buildings are COM
pleted. The office structures are be-
ing erected at the intersection of U.
rs. Highway II and the dirt road lead
ing to Maple Hill.
DR.. E.. S. Bullock said yesterday
that DR.. o. j. Lightheiser, of New
York City, will arrive here Sunday
afternoon to take charge of the dress
ing station and medical office at Hol.
ly Ridge during the time of the con
struction. He is a former al
st. Vincent's hospital in New York.
Meanwhile, additional army Off

cent transfers include Captain Ger
aid F. Botsford, NC, Reserve, from
Camp Mccoy, Wis, to Wilmington
and captain Harry B. Cooper, Jr.,
GAG, Fort Lewis, Wash, to Holly
Ridge.
Captain Botsford has already ar
rived in the city and has assumed
duties with the office of Col. Mont.
gomery. Capt. Cooper will help train
field artillery men and act as liason
officer.
Meanwhile, r. Mayne Albright, d.
rector of the NOSES, said in Raleigh
yesterday that all men seeking jobs
on the 10000, 900 Holly Ridge pro-
ject should first register with thei"
home employment office and then
wait until they are called.
Albright said it was expected
that 10, 1000 persons would be en-
ployed on the construction which,
would be completed within three
months. In addition to the persons
to be put to work at Holly Ridge,
Albright said there we're more
than 1875 immediate job openings in
defense industries in the state. He
urged qualified persc-s to apply
quickly to local employment Off
ces as the openings must be filled
at once. He listed the needs as:
Five senior male clerks with
pay of $4,000 yearly; seven male
accounting clerks, salary of 81, 800;
l6 male assistant clerks, salary ST.
$40; five male material inspectors,
salary 81, 1000; rs male junior ma
terial inspectors, salary 81, $50; Is
male and female under clerks, sal
airy $1,620; and six female junior
stenographers, salary s1,4O0.
The North Carolina State EN-
ployment Service office here yester-
day issued a call for a number +
highly skilled men needed at the
Holly Ridge anti-aircraft camp con-
struction job.
The call was for six shovel op-
orators, six dragline operators, Is
bulldozer operators, Is motor patrol
and 20 LIE Tourneau Pan operators.
Shovel and drag line operators
must be thoroughly experienced in
the use Of Northwest, Koehring,
Lorraine, Lima or General machines,
all with caterpillar tread, either gas
or diesel powered with a capacity
of a half-yard to a yard and a half.
Only experienced men need ap-
ply, NOSES officials said, but those
who are qualified should apply to
the Wilmington NOSES office in
the Wallace building at Third and
Princess streets.
