ONE BOMBER DOWNED
Thousands Watch Fight;
Bombs Splash Into Har.
Dor Without Damage
BY MAX

ATHENS, Jan. 20 R In a
sharp dog fight 10000 feet above
Athens, British war planes shot
down one Italian bomber, dam
aged another and drove off the
rest of a raiding formation today.
Thousands of Athenians watched
the air battle waged high in the
hazy sky against Italian planes di'
recting their attack on Piraeus,
the port of Athens.
No Damage
Most of the bombs splashed into
the harbor without damage to ship
ping facilities and an Raj COM
munique said no damage of mill
tary consequence resulted.
There were a number of cillvlan
casualties and some homes were
reported wrecked in the attack.
Four members of the crew OF
the bomber shot down descended

lone of our aircraft crashed on
landing and burst into flames," the
British said.
Although Athens proper has es-
capped bombing in the war to date.
its airport was attacked Oct. %
and Piraeus, five miles to tn e
southwest, has been sujected to
several air raids.
A Rome radio broadcast shortly
after the Greek-Italian conflict
started virtually promised Athens
immunity from air attack if
Rome were not bombed.
Piraeus is located on the gulf
of .Aegina, and has modern quays
and piers which accommodate all
but the largest ships. 1t served as
the port of ancient Athens.

of the matter of proposed wage in-

The action followed a discussion of

given recently to the bus drivers in
the county schools.
The janitors contended that they

ager of Hart, Schaffner and
Marx, told the CarOlinas' AssO-
citation of Retail Clothers and
furnishers today that newspaper
advertising was the basic point
in a successful advertising pro-
gram.
But, he added, there is a neces-
sity for carefully planned, judi
ciously placed advertising in Or
der to obtain maximum success.
David Ovens of Charlotte, gen.
eral manager of the j. b. lvey
company, said that merchants
generally were having a large
amount of business, a great pOr-
ton of it caused by the defense
program. He advised against a
possible tendency of merchants
to rely upon such a big volume
over an indefinitely long period.
On the other hand, Ovens said,
the wise merchants will chart
their courses over an ever keel
and be prepared to operate their
business profitably after a reces-
sion.

FUNDS FOR HEALTH
UNITS REQUESTED
DR.. Carl Reynolds Seeks
Public Health Service for
Nineteen Counties

RALEIGH, Jan. 20.-LP-Dr. Carl
V. Reynolds, state health officer, to-
day asked the joint appropriations
committee to provide funds for five
piece health units in the 10 North
Carolina counties that do not now
maintain such public health service.
Approximately s37,5OO would be
needed the first year, DR.. Reynolds
estimated, and $119,495 should be
"earmarked" the second year, he
said, if enough money is to be avail
able for all 10 counties to participate.
Requests have been made by Ire
dell, Pasquotank and Madison coun-
ties for funds to establish such state
sponsored health units, the state
health officer told the committee.
Each unit includes a physician, two
nurses, sanitary engineer, dental
program and secretary.
Other counties, not participating in
the state-promoted program, are:
Mitchell, Mcdowell, Henderson, Alex
ander, Montgomery, Scotland, Hoke,
Lee, Warren, Caswell, Perquimans,
Camden, Pamlico, Jones, Carteret
and Brunswick.
1.-THE 81 counties are now putting
up nearly a million dollars for their
units, and the U. S. health service
is providing about $500, O00," said DR..
Reynolds in asking an increase in the
recommended state contribution OF
$2O6, 900.
At the suggestion of committee
members, DR.. Reynolds pared this for
the biennium from 1884 us, as pre-
sented in his brief, to 1922, 1885,. The
budget commission recommended an
appropriation of 1855, 300 for the state
board of health in 1941-43.
The committee also heard another
plea for state aid to the poorer"
counties in North Carolina when Ma
than H. Yelton, director of the divis-
ion of public assistance, advocated
the creation of a $500, 900 eqalization
fund to supplement the state contri-
button to the old age assistance fund.

ments should bear a larger percent

Second Part
The second part of the confer

German foreign minister Joachim

Ciano were reported to have aided
in this discussion.
Authorized commentators said it
was extremely unlikely that there
would be any particularly informa-

off an enemy as to their intentions.

WALLACE TAKES OATH
President Says Democracy
Most Unconquerable Of
All Forms of Society
BY RICHARD L. TURNER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90 Rj--
His hand resting broadly upon an
old Dutch family Bible, his eyes
squirting into the bright monday
sun, Franklin D. Roosevelt. slowly
and thoughtfully repeated the
presidential oath of office for the
third time today and asserted that
the task of the times was to save

from disruption from without"
Democracy is not dying" he
said with impressive solemnity,
his head bobbing emphatically to
the rhythm of his clipped and
spaced words. I'VE know it IAN

Most Unconquerable
I'VE know it because if we look
below the surface, we sense it still
spreading on every continent, for
it is the most humane, the most
advanced, and in the end the most
unconquerable OF all forms of hui
man society" .1
He dedicated his third admins
t~ration to the protection and per
petuation of ''the integrity of
democracy" in "the face of great
perils never before encountered"
A spreading throng of some u.s.
900 chilled and heavily bundled
spectators were damned before
him into the Capitol plaza. Some

sound was muffled by gloves.
