Carolina. There is no reason in n
world why Norfolk, Baltimore, n
Richmond should have an edge on
this sort of business. In referring
to warehousemen bear in mind I DO
not refer to terminal enterprises for,
as you understand, a steel ware
houseman is a man who owns his
own warehouse and is a jobber and
distributor of steel products, so this
will not in any way interfere with
anv facilities now in existence. in
the city.
Another suggestion is that it
would be a good idea, by dredging
and filling, to create more land in
the vicinity of Wrightsville Beach
between the waterway and Banks
Channel to the north Of the cause
way. Wrightsville Beach will soon
reach the point of %saturation in
building and this added land will
go a long way toward relieving con

"Your invitation to your readers
to help revise a list of detectives
for our community prompts me to
offer the above as the most import
ant project for Wilmington and
Southeastern North Carolina in 1910.
ut is generally agreed that the
first consideration for the advance
ment of any community is the health
conditions. But in considering health
it is equally as important to con-
slider the care and the proper pro-
lection of those who have lost their
health. A fire-proof building to re-
place the frame building now hous.
ing the Red Cross sanatorium would
be a great step in the march of our
progress and would advance u eco
omic security by attracting patients
who now spend their money in other
places.
Newspapers lead in the forma-
ton of public opinion and I hope
you will give this project the pub
licity needed in order to get money
while the federal government is in
a spending mood. Funds are being
appropriated for many undertakings
less worthy.
Much credit is due the Star-NeWs
for the uccess of the achievements
you have favored. Your present pro-
gram is good but l want to see a
new sanatorium at the head of the
list for 1940."

Bakery Union Gives
To New York Fund

New York City (ILNS).-Local so,
Bakers and Confectionery Workers
International Union of America, has
contributed a total of $1,700 to the
Greater New York Fund, it was an
nounced at the funds headquarters.
There are still some contributions to
come from members of the local, it
was said.
Hyman j. Schanker, who had charge
of the collection of money from the
bakery workers, said:
"a feature of the fund that ap-
peals strongly to our union is that the
Greater New York Fund makes no dis
tinction of race or creed. 1t appeals
to all, for the good of all and that is
one of the basic principles of our
union-all races, all creeds."

contains provision that the contract
may be terminated after one year if
issues submitted to newly estab-
lished board of control are not ad-
justed by March %, 1941.
The new agreement will provide a
safety valve" in the way of fact
finding board with power to adjudi-
cate controversial matters, it was ex-
planned by Samuel L. Deitsch, presi-
dent of the Industrial Council. The
agreement paves the way for a period
that the manufacturers should use to
advantage by making New York City
the world style center, Mr.. Deitsch
further suggested. He pointed out
that there had been an influx of buyers
since the Governor had stepped in to
avert the strike, and that sales were
ahead of those year ago.
ssThe establishing of board of sta
bility and control is the chief new
provision of the contract" Mr.. Deitsch
pointed out. "The board, comprising
representatives of the union and the
employers organizations, will con-
slider issues which, if left to the or
binary processes of collective bargain
ing, would provoke long and bitter
disputes.
"The board will institute and direct
research into these subjects and, if
unable to agree as to findings, will
submit them to an impartial chairman
whose conclusions will become part of
the contract.
"Among the problems that will be
taken up by the board will be the
devising of means for making certain
close observance of the agreement, the
establishing of uniform rates of piece
work payments, the use of modern
machinery, the advisability of allow
ing overtime and numerous other mat
ters."
Mr.. Dubinsky emphasized that,
while the settlement provided for no
wage increases, it did offer a SUBJ
stantial basis for stabilization and
improvement in the industry.

Leavenwortl1, Safe,
 But Overcrowded
Formal Board Report to Be Made Tonight-NO RecOnl=
 mendatiOns for Solution to Be Offered

Report that LeavenWorth high school is overcrowded will be for mally made by special committee at a meeting of the Board of Edu- cation tonight, it was learned off cially today.
 Appointed several weeks ago by Mayor Vincent A. Scully, the com- mittee consisting of members of the board, has investigated the school several times with reference not only to overcroWding, but also to possible fire hazards, danger from machinery, and the condition of the heating system.
 The report will point out that the school is definitely overcroWded, but perfectly safe in all other respects.
 No recommendations will be made by the committee ill regard to a solution for the problem. Several cures" have been aired during and before the course of the mVestiga- tion, most prominent being to shift hundreds to Crosby high school.
 This, it is expected, would meet with many obstacles, if suggested.
 Other than receiving the report of the special committee, it is eX- pected that routine business only will be transacted by the board.
 Sources near the board said that no appointments are slated for to- night, there will be no report on a proposed new waiting-list system for high school faculty appoint

armies would present him the op- portunity to succeed in daring venture once planned by Napoleon, the invasion of England. Hitler may hope to succeed where the lit tie corporal failed.
 The British admiralty claims 1t has mined the Baltic The locations given appear to be aimed at bottling up the German fleet at Keil and also halting shipments Of ore and dairy products from Sweden.
 The mine fields should act to shut off the German and Danish coasts to all shipping and result in 8 virtual stoppage of water-borne commerce to German Baltic ports from the world sea lanes.
 Probably the fields are not mined denSely and may be swept up by German warships unless guarded by the British. However, Britain by an- nouncing existence of these fields to the world can continue legally the mining of these areas, constant ly threatening all ships carrying materials towards Germany.
 The admiralty has not announced the method of laying these fields. It is surmised, however, that they were laid by fast mine layers and not by airplanes. If so, the act was a daring one and implies that Ger man opposition was ineffective.
 The final implication of this maneuver seems to show the revival of the plan of Admiral Jack Fisher, first lord of the admiralty during the World War, to fight for control of the Baltic. Success of this dan gerous plan should it be undertaken would result in isloating Norway and Sweden from Germany, except by air, and would be great help to the Allies in driving out the Ger man troops from Norway and giy- ing them the use of Norwegian air fields.
 Finally, it also would tend to pre- vent ultimate seizure of Sweden by the Germans.
