SANAT0RIUM BILL
House Committee Favors
Issuance of 100000 in
Bonds for T.B. Work

RALEIGH, Jan. 20. - Up The
house finance committee today voted
unanimously to report f~avorably a
senate bill authorizing issuance Of
$500, 900 in state bonds to complete
and equip" a tubercular sanatorium
in eastern North Carolina.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Long of Halifax and others, previ-
ously had passed the senate and ap-
peared without opposition in the
house.
Lee L. Gravely of Rocky Mount,
unsuccessful candidate for governor
in the democratic primary of last
May, appeared before the committee
asking its endorsement of the bill.
Gravely said completion of the sana-
forum had been delayed because
federal aid had not been forthcom-
ing, apparently because of national
defense. The former senator remind
ed there are now 1900 active cases
of tuberculosis in the state and 2S0

%stupendous spring-time onslaught

f%oreseen by well-informed sources
today but General George c. Mar-
shall asserted that the British could
win in the end with the American
help contemplated in the lease

After Marshall had testified Sc
cretly before the house foreign af-
fairs committee on the administra-
ton bill, a reporter asked him
whether he believed the Germans
could be beaten with the American
assistance contemplated in the bill.
yes" he answered.
About Attempt
Marshall said all signs pointed
to an about attempt at invasion
in April or May, preceded by a
drive to obtain control of the air.
He made no attempt to minimize
what he termed the Critical STU
a%tion," but said the effort to es-
tablish a beach head across the
channel would be terrifically haz-
ardous.
Meanwhile, sources possessed of
much inside information said the
Nazis could put into the air 10, 900
fighters and bombers, with as
many planes and crews in reserve.
Belief was expressed that the Ger.
mans may have developed a new
pursuit ship to surprise their foe
and that torpedo planes may be
used against ship conveys on a
large scale. There is a possibility
that gas may be employed in the
invasion attempt also, it was said.
The reich was estimated to have
a four to one advantage over Great
Britain in the air, although one
factor in Britain's favor is that
she a concentrate her pursuit
ships over a limited defensive area.
Gives Views
Marshall gave his views to re-
p%orters a short time after secre-
tary Morgenthau, testifying before
the senate foreign relations COM
mittee, had said that the British
must stop fighting unless the pend
ing lend-lease bill is passed. He
said they would lack sufficient dol
lar exchange to purchase neces-
sary supplies.
Another major development was
a disclosure by Chairman Bloom
(D.-NY) of the house foreign af-
fairs committee that democratic
committeeman, in conference with
house leaders, had tentatively
agreed on four amendments to the
lend-lease bill.

He was graduated from the uni

He became known as one of the
most successful trial lawyers in

$4,000 Persons Engaged
On Camp Davis Project;
Sewerage Plant Started

HOLLY RIDGE, Jan. 28.-Ap-
proximately $4,000 persons are
now on the payroll of contrac-
tors engaged in constructing
Camp Davis, anti-aircraft firing
center here.
At the close of the last pay
roll period on January 10, a total
of 1888 persons were employed.
Since that time around 5000 per.
sons have been added.
Staggering of payroIls has not
been started as yet, but a plan
is being worked out so that part
OF the employees will be paid
daily instead of all OH one day,
which has heretofore been Fri
day.
Construction of the sewage
disposal plant at the camp was
begun yesterday and at the
same time work went forward
on the hospital area as more ma
terials continued to arrive.

about as well as can be ex-
pected." He said, however, that
rain and mud has hampered Op-
erati0ns somewhat.
The drainage problem is fast
being overcome, according to
Lieut.. Alden Specs, executive
officer of the quartermaster
corps, and that is enabling con.
tractors to make more progress
than heretofore after heavy rain
falls. Mud today and Monday
did not bother contractors as
much as it used to after a hard
rain, it was said.
The sewage disposal plant will
be east of the highway. Already
bitches. serving a dual purpose,
first for drainage and later for
sewer pipe, are being dug, and
the area for the pumping sta
ton is being laid out.
Seventy-five per cent of the
sewage will move to the disposal
plant, aided by the slope of the
terrain, while rs per cent will
have to be pumped, it was said.
