RAIDS ON BERLIN
TERMED "A JOKE
American Publisher Says City
|Only Slightly Damaged
By British Bombs

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Dec. 81.
l-R-Britain's bombing results IN
Berlin are "a joke" Francis W.
Hickman, publisher of the Cotton
TRADE Journal of New Orleans, de-
clared today on his return from a
tour through II European coun-
tries.
Arriving from Lisbon aboard the
American export liner Siboney,
which carried 343 passengers,
Hickman asserted that Berlin was
'only slightly damaged' by British
bombs.
.It's a JOKE" he observed. Il
think the British must be using
lighter bombs. One of the biggest
surprises of my trip was that the
British hadn't done much more de-
struction to Berlin"
He added that during his trip,
made to survey the cotton stu
alton in Europe, he learned that
Germany was fairly we'll sup
Piled" with cotton, that the Nazis
had made considerable purchases
from Russia"
Three Associated Press foreign
correspondents also returned
aboard the vessel-Dwight Pitkin,
Taylor Henry and William Mccall
fin. All have served in Paris and,
after the fall of France, in London.
The ship was buffetted by an I'M
renting so mile = an hour gale

Habel, master of the craft, dis
closed.

ROTARY ENJOYS
new YEAR PARTY
Roger Moore Discusses City's
Future AS Result OF De-
Tense Program

The Rotary club yesterday devotee
its rogra to retrospection ano
prophecy.
With the Rev. Mortimer Glover
as program chairman several mem
bers proceeded to look into the "crys
tai ball' and reveal it's varied pic
lures.
Roger Moore, eclypt Yogi, gave
serious account of what lies ahead
for Wilmington in connection no'
only with the Holly Ridge base out
with other defense projects which
he said, probably will draw approx
mately 80, 900 soldiers to this vicln-
ity.
UNLESS Wilmington a be kept
Clean" he said, land these boys
protected from vice, I would rather
have the city left untouched by the
new impetus defense will give it,"
He called upon the mayor and the
bench to act promptly and effec-
lively against n influx of unde-
sirables.
Dealing with the past and present
of Rotary, Swami" Ham A. Marks
reviewed the clubs position in all
activities, expressing the opinion that
the club is the best civic organlza-
ton in the city. He praised the presi-
dency of Elvie White and the pro-
grams presented under his leader
ship. Especially he commended the
friendships and the friendly spirit
fostered by the club.
Seer Ben Sutherland looked into
the business situation. America, he
declared, has grown great not
through the efforts of its politicians
or philosophers, but because of Its
industrialists, large and small. He
quoted Roger Babson who f%oresees
for 1871 a 10 per cent gain in bust
ness, a rise in markets. an increase
in farmers incomes, a steady ad-
vance in payrolls, with not more than
a 5 per cent increase in living costs.
eve have heard a great deal about
what Wilmington is to get out OF
Holly Ridge" he declared, but not
a word is said about Wilmington's
contribution to Holly Ridge"
On politics, prophet" Dan Herrin
reviewed unusual developments in
the past year, citing Wilkes noml-
nation as the most surprising sweep
since Bryan's first nomination Tor
the presidency. And it was gathered
that Mr.. Herrin believed Willkle
would have been elected except that
Harold Ickes shortly after the &C
ceptance speech coupled Wilkes
name with Hitler. He deplored the
use of eggs and aged tomatoes as
campaisn missiles and the tendency
at the ballot box for voters to be
guided by their racial interests. He
sees a change in Roosevelt's attitude
toward business and forecast that
politically 1941 will be a big year.
Lieut.. Col. w. van D. Ochs de-
scribed the bloody conflict ahead in
stentorian tones, but it was not Eu-
rope he referred to. New Years foot
ball games was his theme.
Visitors were: Arthur Dunn, of
New York, Lieut.. Com. T. w. Rissy
and Harrey R. Griffiths. The Rev.
w. A. Caig, recently moved upstate
by the Methodist conference, was
welcomed by his friends when he
arrived to share the meeting.
