which look more like piece of iron
lace, are still preserved as memento
Of the battle.
Neither the townspeople nor the
naval authorities seem particularly
perturbed at prospects that the raids
will increase in intensity. They have
the feeling that German pilots don't
like the neighborhood very we'll and
from a glance over its defenses that
feeling seems reasonable. At any
rate, all manner of naval craft seem
to dart in and out of the harbor
with the assurance that the Amer
lean Navy might have in entering

The trip from London to the

Army Transport Safe
But Food Supplies
Are Running Low
American Legion. With
697 Americans Aboard,
Is Well Post Mine Belt

With its meager food supplies
running steadidly lower. the United
States Army transport American
Legion today was s.eaming across
the open Atlantic bringing to New
York City nearly 900 Americans
stranded by war In Northern Eu-
rope.
Nazi spokesmen in Berlin ex-
pressed relief in talks with the As
sociated Press over reports the ref
ugee ship had cleared the mine-belt
danger zone through which its
course led north Of the Scotch coast.
The ship had fools luck" the
Germans said. They held the Amer
lean Legion's success In running the
mine blockade was no sign another
United States vessel could follow
her with similar success.
Reason for this Governments re-
fusal to change the American Le-
gion's course, despite a German
warning, was related by President
Roosevelt today to Senator Bone,
Democrat, of Washington, who
charged in the Senate this week that
war had been risked in the matter
because of stubbornness.
Undersecretary of State Weles
also was present when the President
received Senator Bone in the living
quarters of the White House.
Stephen Early, the Presidents
press secretary, described the situa-
ton to reporters as a case of one ma
ton having said certain waters were
mined and another having said GER
tain other waters were mined.
He reiterated that the decision re-
parding the route that was followed
was reached on the recommendation
of the Army and Navy high COM
mand.
Rations are the ships principal
concern now. What is left in lar
der of food taken aboard in New
York City July IS, when it sailed
for Petsamo, Finland, is being di-
vided among 897 passengers and a
crew of 225. Even before the ship
sailed Friday night its master, Capt.
B. E. forming, fixed limit on the
amount of food to be supplied each
passenger.
The news that the vessel was out
of danger from mines was transmit
ted to the Senate yesterday by Ma
jority Leader Barkley. who di-
,,,,ood ubat he had learned Dri-
vately at the State Department.
She was then 900 miles west of the
British Isles.

More Scattered Raids.
Scattered raids by crews flying
singly or in twos and threes con-
tinued today, but the Air Ministry
said they were very few and on
small scale"
A soldier was killed when three
or four bombs were scattered on a
Scottish hillside. Some houses were
wrecked.
A single plane dropped nine Shrek
ing bombs on a southeast coastal
town, doing some damage to houses
and backyards. Yet other planes
were over Wales.
Gas and water mains in another
southeast town were damaged and
a railway line farther inland was
blocked for a short time in night
raids.
Berlin said massed raids had
been suspended because of un-
favorable flying weather; Britain
acknowledged the existence of
bad weather across the Channel

the flame of discord at Vichy be-
fore Hitler and Laval got their
heads together or the itler-Fran-
CO meeting was even intimated.
A prompt disavowal of French in
tention to enter the war against
Britain was the result.
Nazi surprises, whether dlplo-
matte coups or military strokes,
have so frequently been Britain's
lot in this war that the plain indi-
cation that Britain had advance
notice of some sort this time is
well worth noting. 1t testifies not
only to policy differences at Vichy,
still unclarified; but also to inn
proving British contacts across the
channel. 1t is a reasonable de-
duction that the Royal Air forces
success in baking German inva-
sion efforts may also be trace
able, in part, to subrosa tips from
the continent.
There have been numerous in
dications that Germany is paying
the usual price of armies of oc-
cupatior for operations in hostile
terri .ory. Informatin of a mill
tary, as well as of a political, ma.
ture appears to be seeping across
the channel to guide British bomb.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-(Friday)-R
German warplanes in heavy
squadrons violently assaulted the
industrial midlands last night ane
in one town in that area two public
air raid shelters we're hit by
bombs.
An Associated Press correspond
ent reported from the scene that
the loss of life was Comparatively
small considering the hour of night
at which the raid was made"
A motion picture house and {
theater were among the building:
hit, and fire bombs of a new type
were loosed upon the town, one oil
them falling upon a large drug
store.
Business and commercial prop
critics were damaged.
Here in London the all : cleal
sounded early this morning afte1
an attack during which the Ger
mans had come over in greater
numbers than for the past severa
nights.
While the raid still was on, the
people heard a reassuring broad
cast from Air Marsh Sir Philip
Joubert. He explained the new de.
tense strategy and spiked rumors
OF an ammunition shortage.
LAS the Germans change thei1
tactics in the air, so t. methods
used to attack them rust vary

ers to preferred targets on the in
vasion coasts. That applies to Bel.
GUM and Holland and Norway as
much as to France.
Anti-Nazi Activity
In the conquered regions there
is obviously increasing anti-Nazi
activity by individuals or groups.
It a hardly be doubted that de-
tailed information on German
troop dispositions is being passed
along the cross-channel grapevine
route to London.
Berlin's scoffing at British coun-
ter-bombing as 'planless" cannot
apply to the air blasting of Nazi
invasion concentrations night in
and night out. That has followed
so definite a pattern that the Ger
man high command must be well
aware that any surprise thrust to
catch Britain's defenders mapping
was long ago out of the question.
To what extent British sirplanes
or seacraft are contracting infor-
nation sources off the continental
coast at night can only be guessed.
1t is virtually certain, however,
that no Nazi move of a military
nature goes long unreported in
London. The task Of guarding hun
dreds of miles of broken coast
line from such leakage would be
impossible if the Germans h a q
three times their present forces tc
do the lob.

The motion has not been second

It will also have for further con-
[sideration two recommendations
of the three made Wednesday by
Commissioner of Public Works j.
E. L. Wade, suggesting that a
bond election be called to finance
a change, in the city's water
source and that the public works
department be authorized to pre-
pare for the consideration of the
board, with the assistance of
WPA, a project providing for the
extension of the present intake to
a point above Lock and Dam No.
l on the upper Cape Fear river.
Wade has estimated that such
an extension would cost 5000, 600
and has reported to the board he
has assurances from the WPA that
federal aid would be given t h e
city ION a basis approximately 70
per cent by the federal govern
ment and 80 per cent by the local
government"
If the estimate of 5000, 900 total
cost is correct, this means the ex-
tension of the city's water line to
the new source of supply would
cost the city approximately S270,-
