Communists, Bund
Members Bunned
BY Civil Service
Future Federal Employ
ment Barred To Members
BY Commission

Washington, D. C.-The United
States Civil Service Commission
barred Communists and members of
the German American Bund from fu-
ture employment in Federal jobs COW
cred by Civil Service.
The order came as Congress speeded
legislation to check fifth column ac-
tivties in the United States.
A commission spokesman refused to
elaborate on the commissions terse
announcement:
"'The. United States Civil Service,
Commission has decided officially that,
as matter of policy, it will not GER
tify to any department or agency the
name of any person when it has been
established he is a member of the
Communist party, the German Bund,
or any other Communist or Nazi or
ganization."
The order apparently would not af-
feet those persons already in the Gov
ernment service who are found to be
members of such organizations.

Totulituriunism

Antigonish, N. S.-"The profit sys-
TEN has failed. The cooperative sys-
TEN promises to obtain a better distri-
button of wealth without interfering
with the legitimate rights and liberty
of the people. Under the cooperation
the profit motive is being suplanted
by the service motive" ,ae,o
Thus spoke Rev. d. j. Macdonald
president of St. Francis Xavier Uni
versity here, at the formal college
closing.
at seems providential that this col
lege should have taken up in prac-
tical way scheme to forestall the de-
velopment Of totalitarianism in this
country before its baneful effects be-
came more apparent. Socialism OF
management of all industry by the
state is undesirable.
"Totalitarianism is fast developing
in every country, particularly in the
United States. In 1918, three per cent
Of the national income Of the U. S
was controlled by public authorities
In 1887, this had increased to twenty.
six per cent. The state is taking or
more and more functions that should
be carried on by individuals and
groups of individuals. One reason fol
this is the failure Of liberalism, indi.
vidualism and captitalistic business tc
provide the majority Of people with q
decent standard Of living"
Father Macdonald described what
St. Francis Xavier is doing through its
cooperation and credit union pro.
grams and university extensio
courses to improve conditions among
the people Of Nova Scotia, and par.
ticularly in the diocese of Antigonish
Study clubs have always been pre-.
liminary to the establishment of co.
operative units.

the Quartermaster corps, put into
Wilmington late last night for en-

300 soldiers aboard was coming
into Wilmington.
The only men aboard the vessel

LONDON, July 23-(Tuesday)-

nbatic NO to Adolf Hitler's last
sbance'' offer of peace, German
names scattered incendiary and
bieh explosive bombs or England,
scotland and Wales this morning.
One Scottish town was struck
for the second time in "a hours.
There incendiary bombs set fire
10 houses and plummeted into
streets and open spaces.
No great material damage was
reported from bombs in Wales,
north east England, and elsewhere
in southeast and northeast Scot
land. British anti-aircraft guns
maintained a hot fire, and British
fighter planes engaged the enemy
al0ft.
Explosions Heard
Explosions were heard IN south
east Scotland shortly after enemy
planes passed over, Indicating the
possibility they were the time
bombs. The sounds indicated, how
ever, that the bombs had exploded
some distance from a town.
The barrage of anti-aircraft fire
over one southwest of England
town was terrific. Bursting shells,
tracer bullets and searchlights il

WORK COSTS $4o,ooo.oo
Addition OF so Rooms And
Other improvements Will
Be Made This Fall

Plans for an extensive enlarging
and remodeling program for the
Ocean Terrace hotel, Wrightsville
Beach, to involve an expenditure of
more than SAC, 900 and to provide
for the addition of SO ocean front
rooms, were announced yesterday
by Mrs. John A. Snyder, owner and
manager.
The additions will consist of ex-
tending both of the hotels end
wings in the direction of the ocean,
making the building in the shape
of an I'll"
Will Enlarge Hall
The convention hall on the east
side of the hotel will be rebuilt and
enlarged to accommodate more than
600 persons and the roof will be
built into an attractive roof garden.
On the ocean side of the hotel
between the two wings, Mrs. Sny-
der said, will be built a patio and
dance floor. An orchestra will be
kept at the hotel during the sum-
mer.
Work is scheduled to start in the
early fall-as soon as the hotel
closes-and will be finished by May
Is, 1871.
The dining room will be en-
larged to extend from the ocean
front through the entire length of
the end wing and will accommodate
nearly twice as many diners.
Several Lounges
The remodeling, Mrs. Snyder
said, will provide several different
cocktail lounges in addition to the
main. lobby and will enable the
hotel management to care for the
largest conventions without incon-
venience to other patrons. And
the roof garden, she said, a been
designed to keep the dancers away
from the hotel in order to avoid
disturbing other guests.
The plans, the hotels manager
said, are the result of a highly
successful summer and a most
promising outlook for the 1941 sea-
son.. Already a number of import
ant conventions have been booked
and contacts have been made in
the interest of obtaining several
others.
When the new wings are COM
pleted, she said, it will be possible
to separate convention merry
makers from other guests to avoid
all noise.
The new ocean front rooms will
all have private baths.

Formal comment however was

himself has to say to the House

thunderbolt only in expectation
that some official reply may be

suggestions for peace.
