looked as if he, certainly, would
hold a card.
Most of the time he stayed in
his room. Only at night did he
walk the streets, and each even

hours, and didn't return to the no.

isn't exactly safe thing to do, in

But one evening cOrnered him
in the dining room, and this was
his story:
His mother was a Jew, and he
was a former officer in the Aus

fled into France, and joined the
French army. When France fell
he fled again, this time to Spain.
He wrangled passage to Cuba, but
the French ship came only as far
as Martinique. He's been there ev-
er since. He doesn't know when
he'll get out, if ever.
"YOu will please" he said, "keep
this to yourself. Because there are
people hereabOuts who have no
love for men with Jewish blood

of Jewish immigration is strictly
the problem of how much cash

Cuba it developed he didn't have

my mind is this: even here in the

twenty-one republics tightly knit
together, there is great deal of
fear and suspicion. 1t is no longer

Explains Projects In New
Bill Will Be Selected
By Army Engineers

Senator Bailey has let it be known
that he plans to do what he can
for North Carolina waterways, with
Wilmington harbor and the Cape
Fear river in mind, at this session
of congress, despite the handicap
placed upon rivers and harbors
projects by the President, who has
said he would veto any large ap-
preparation for new work.
In a letter to R. B. Page, pub
Usher of the star-News, replying to
an inquiry as to what the senate
commerce committee proposed to
do about Wilmington's waterway
needs, Senator Bailey emphasized
that he hopes to get a bill through
which will not only authorize need
ed work but appropriate necessary
funds for it's completion.
At the same time, he pointed out
that projects in the new bill will
be selected by War department en-
gineers, and voiced a hope that the
work here will be on the approved
list.
Mr.. Pages letter to Senator
Bailey, and the senator's reply
follow:
Dear Senator Bailey:
After investigating previous cor
respondence between your office and
local people relating to legislation
authorizing improvements at the
Port of Wilmington and on the
Cape Fear river, it now appears GER
tain that effective effort is not be-
ing made to have congress approve
river and harbor projects here. A
serious condition exists at this port
due to inadequate turning basins
where we have a width Of only 600
feet. Ships grounding refuse to come
to this port. The people of the lower
Cape Fear valley are expecting you
to put forth every effort to effect
legislation Immediately to alleviate
the detrimental condition of this
North Carolina port.

quiries, that the North Carolina
