LandOn Appeals
For Support OF
Red Cross Fund
Organization Seeks Total
Of 10 Million For Relief
OF War Victims

An appeal to the public to con-
tribute to the $10,000,OO0 Red
Cross war relief fund to "meet the
needs which are each day increas-
ing with frightful rapidly" was
issued last week by former Cover
nor Alfred M. Landon of Kansas.
Governor Landon's statement was
released by the st. Louis Office of
the American Red Cross.
The appeal follows: "Since the
outbreak of hostilities in Europe,
the American people have received
the news of each major war de-
velopment with growing concern.
Methods employed by invading
armies have reduced millions OF
non-combatants to restitution. In
this war the firing is no longer
confined to the front lines. Bombs
rain death upon whole civilian
populations with terrifying regu-
larity. Innocent men, women and
children including the aged and
sick, find themselves bewildered
and overwhelmed.
ITO their rescue sped the Red
Cross at the outset and by their
side this agency of mercy remains.
Already its chapter volunteers
have produced and shipped 100000
surgical dressings and garments
for those distressed. Manufacture
of numerous Red Cross field hos
pitfalls and ambulance units also
are being rushed for delivery to

A rent schedule for the 1ow-rent
housing project for negroes being
constructed here by the Housing
Authority Of the City of Whining
ton will be announced in about
two weeks, H. r. Emory, executive
manager Of the Authority, said

with local officials last week.
Must Be Approved
Mr.. Emory said that the propos'
ed schedule will have to be approx

he anticipated approval of the
schedule within 10 days or two
weeks.
This will be the first rent SEIZED
ule. on low-rent housing projects
to be set up in North Carolina,

The first families will be moved
into the New Brooklyn Homes in

said, provided that everything goes
off according to schedule.

been completed structurally and
now await painting and furnishing,
which will include gas stoves and
refrigerators, and ground land

Bids on the landscape work,
along with bids on the stoves and

KENANsVILLE, Feb. 11.-Ao-
No trace had been found today o.
three white men who broke into g

Raymond Harrell, a straight

from the prison yard after a run

intruders was wounded.
John S. Williams, camp superin-
tendent, said, the three unidentified
men got into the camp grounds by
picking a paddock on the gate. The
two guards were on duty, Harrell
in the yard and the other in a cell
block with the prisoners.
"We don't keep anyone on guarc

The man managed to get to -:

the gates to the highway.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-P-
Secretary of Commerce Harry l..
Hopkins predicted tonight early re.
sumption of British purchases of
American tobacco, relieving a seri-
GUS crisis in the American tobacco
market.
He said, in a statement, that his
experts had advised him that Brit
ain would resume buying American
tobacco soon because Of British
preference for American tobacco
and also because of the tariff rev-
enue derived from importing it.
Britain, formerly one of the
worlds prime customers for the
leaf, stopped buying it from the
United States shortly after the war
began, pleading the necessity to
conserve it's buying power for air.

benefit of cementing it's Turkish ale

The statement added:

mates, are sufficient to meet the
demands Of manufacturers for only
about two and one-half years at

while restrictions on imports of
American tobacco have been grad.

of hostilities in Europe last Sep.
