NORWAY PROTESTS

Claims Battleships Seeking

Violated Neutrality

OSLO, March 24.-LP-A protest
against violation of Norwegian neu-
trality by British warships seeking
out German vessels in Norwegian
waters has been sent to London,
the Norwegian admiralty announced
tonight.
The communique, coupled with
the sinking of two German vessels
off the Danish coast within the last
three days, indicated Britain is
seeking to draw the strings tighter
on German shipping in northern
waters.
The Norwegian statement said
that on the morning of March Il
naval authorities were asked by a
German trawler sailing into Hustad
Bay for protection against a Brit
ish torpedo boat sailing in Nor
wegian waters.
Later in the day, the communique
said, while a Norwegian vessel was
escorting another German freighter,
a British ship entered Norwegian
waters and signalled for the name
of the German freighter.
The Norwegians refused the in
formation and ordered the British
to stand off, the communicate said.

BY RICHARD G.. MASSOCK

VATICAN CITY, March 24-LR-
Pope Plus implored for peace, Con-
cord and unity among nations to-
day in an Easter homily in which
he advocated settlement of their
relations mot by force, but by rules
of truth, justice and charity"
The words of the pontiff, who
spoke from the throne briefly in
Latin Immediately after celebrating
Easter mass in the Basilica Of st.
Peter, were broadcast by the Vatican
radio and rebroadcast in the United
States.
The pope expressed fear that the
European war would bring more
frightful ~sufferings, with ruin for
nations. The pontiff, declaring that
treaties had been violated, also de-
plored violations of international law
which he said had occurred in bonn
bardment Of open cities and civilian
populations.
No Countries Named
He said mankind was turning its
inventive genius to the use of
slaughter and ruin" He named no
countries in deploring violations OF
treaties and international law but in
Vatican circles it was said that he
has been saddened by the suffering
Of Poles and Firms under German
and Russian attacks.
Only by returning to Christian
principles, he said, could peoples
eventually get together in under
standing and friendship.
Although Plus XII had celebrated
Easter masses in st. Peters when
he was an archpriest of the church,
today was the first time he had cele.
brated the sacrament there as pope.

N. E. HOUSING ACTS.
TO Be CHALLENGED.
Kinston Citizens Seeking
Invalidation OF Housing
Authority There

RALEIGH, March 24.-P)-Con-
stitutionality of housing authority
acts of the 1889 general assembly
will be challenged this week before
the state supreme court, which will
reconvene Tuesday to hear a CAPT
tai case from Cabarrus county.
Legislative enabling acts for hous-
ing authorities are challenged in an
appeal by John G.. Cox and other
Kinston citizens for invalidation of
the housing authority of Kinston.
Judge R.. Hunt Parker denied the
plaintiffs an injunction, and his de.
cision was appealed.
Kinston plaintiffs, setting forth
that they W property on which
rentals will be reduced by new hous-
ing, contend that all housing au-
thority acts and actions are "il.
legal, unconstitutional and void' be-
cause they delegate legislative and
judicial functions to city aldermen
and housing officials, because they
change the map of the municipal
corporation, because they are dis
criminatory and because they take
private property without due pro-
cess.
Judge Parker found that Kinston
had unsafe and u~nsanitary housing
that constitutes a hazard to life
and increases crime, disease, sick
ness and vagrancy and retards
school children.
He ruled that housing acts and
certificates are legal, housing leg
islation constitutional, housing pro.
notes public welfare and plaintiffs
were not entitled to maintain an &C
ton against the authority.

A 35-degree thermometer reading
combined with rain and sleet prac-

The inciement weather is sched-
uled to continue today. The weather

rains.
Rain And Sleet
Yesterday dawned fair enough, al
though it was cold. But as the day
grew older the elements seemed to
form a combine against the paraders
as it rained, sleeted and dropped
nearly to the freezing point.
The minimum was IS degrees, oc-
curing at shortly after dawn yester-
day. The maximum, reached yester-
day afternoon, was SO degrees.
Agriculturalists in the county pre-.
dicted last night if frost occurred it
would do considerable damage tc
fruit trees and truck crops now
above the ground-throughout the
county.
Now we'll under way r carrots,
beets, lettuce, and turnips and mos

The temperature at midnight was
lowering just above the freezing
point and a light wind was blowing
Farmers said if the wind continued
it would avert visitations of frost.

Disruption of telegraph and short

channel was restored at 1:5O D. m.
and a second at 3:07. Service to Latin
American countries was unaffected
inasmuch as it follows a north.
