INQUEST INTO PEE
Staying PLANNED
Negro Delivery Man Dies in
Hospital Here After His
Throat is Slasked

An inquest into the death of Ed
ward Pee, 25-year-old negro gro
Gerry store delivery man, who died
at James Walker Memorial hos
pital early yesterday morning aft
er having his throat slashed, will
be held in the grand jury room at
the courthouse Wednesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, Coroner Asa w.
Allen announced last night.
Police last night continued their
investigation of the Staying. They
are holding four negro women and
one negro man on technical charges
of vagrancy for questioning in the
case.
Pee was found at Third and
Brunswick streets with his Jug
ular vein cut by knife shortly
after midnight Sunday night by po-
lice who had answered a tele-
phone call from an unidentified
woman.
Investigating police produced
the theory that Pee had been
stabbed, probably with a butcher
knife, on the sidewalk fronting
TT North Second street, for it
was at approximately that point
where some blood and Pee's hat
were found. Apparently, officers
said, the mortally wounded negro
staggered more than block to
Third and Brunswick where police
located him in summons to a
telephone call from a woman who
said that she and her companion
had found the man nearly dead"
Officers believed that Pee had
been stabbed about 1875 a. M,
some IS minutes before they
reached him. He died at 1880
o'clock in the emergency oper-
ating room Of the hospital.
Coroner Asa W. Allen will order
an inquest after authorities COM
plete their investigation.

brother, reported to city police

music shoals, and which deserves
greater support in it's cultured un-

Fletcher Moore in a two-piano re
cital in the Great Hall of st. James
parish house last night.
These two young artists are mem
ters of the Elon college music de-
partment, and have perfected their
technique in strictly program music
far above the average of music de-
part1ent teachers. Their playing
throughout the hour and a half of
their appearance was conscientious,
orthodox and at times brilliant, es.
pecially in the Anresky Sch rzo
which set spines atremble and was
greeted with thunder Of applause.
Opening their program with the
Chopin Rondo in c, and proceeding
to the Brahms Variations on a
Theme by Haydn, both Of which
were marked by fine technique and
competent shadings, the artists pro-
eeeded to lighter, more graceful

Cornish Sketch, Rachmaninoff' s
Tears and the Arensky Scherzo-

inconclusive finale. To the credit of

said that they left none of the TEN.

One feature of the entire recita,
deserves especial praise That was
the players mastery of overtones

had something to do with it, but
the major share of the credit must
be given to the PEDAL dexterity o1

workers that the ship company had
nothing to do with construction of

Construction Of the shipyards will
cost approximately s5,000,O00. A pre-

10000 for clearing of the land,
excavation Of ways and erection of
site office buildings and engineers
quarters, was awarded last week to
three contractors who joined forces
for the project. 1t is estimated that
some 80 days will be required to
complete the yard construction to
a point where assembly of the pre-
fabricated ships can begin.
The ships, "a in number, will be
built six at a time. They will be of
approximately 5000 tons each.
More than 5000 men, mostly high
ly-skilled steelworkers, craftsmen
and cabinet makers, will be EN-.

gets into full swing. The ships, it
is understood, will be fabricated in

BRITISH ATTACK
ITALIAN AIRPORT
(Continued From Page One)

Tunisia was the objective Of General
Sir Archibald P. Wavell's army.
Meanwhile, other British forces
were reported by the middle east
command to be driving a wedge into
the heart of italian Eritrea to the
east, occupying Barentu with the
Fascist troops retreating under the
pounding of land and air attacks.
So great is the rout of Italians in
East Africa, British sources said,
that the Fascists have taken to the
bush and jungle with the British
close behind them.
The bulk of the troops holding in
terror posts in Ethiopia, Eritrea and
italian Somaliland was pictured as
still intact, though constantly at
tackled by the RAF and, in Ethiopia,
harassed by natives.
Nowhere along the frontiers of
these Italian colonies was there any
resistance left, the British said.
The Italians who abandoned Bar
entu yesterday after the British al
most surrounded the town and
heavily bombed it from the air were
said to have been forced to retreat
along narrow mountainous trail
toward the Asmaraaddis Ababa high
way.
The terrain is so rugged, that
movement of troops and supplies in
organized fashion is nearly impos-
sible, the British said, and the noun
tains abound with wild animals.
Farther south, an italian column
which was retreating toward Condar,
Ethiopia, was said to be fighting
against constant sniping by Ethiop-
ian patriots operating from rebel
lious Bojjam province.
The British were said to be press
ing behind the Ethiopians.
