NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The feel
ing at Fordham University today
is that only one more hurdle
stands between the rambling Rams
and another junket to a post
season bowl battle. Purdue:
battling Boilermakers comprise
the final obstacle. or else the Ford
ham followers are wrong.
Coach Jim Crowley preferred to
wave aside all chatter about bow
bids. IS IS
"We've got TO think about
beating Purdue before anything
else" Crowley commented. Be-
fore anybody could mention bowl
business again, Sleepy James
added that Pittsburgh, possibly
st. Mary's and, Of course, New
York University, hardly can be
classified as pushovers.
LOOKS A CINCH
Sentiment among the players
and campus athletic circles. how.
ever, is that Fordham will have
another bowl rendezvous if the
Rams can get by the Boilermaker>
this Saturday. One Of Crowley
aides asserted, IF we can't beat
Pitt, N. Y. Y. and ST. Mary,s- Witl
this team then som tn ing
whacky in this game"
Even Crowley couldn't concea
the obvious fact that. he is sold
on the current Rams. He spok,
mildly, saying only, 1T looks Xix,
we have a nifty team. doesn't it.
But there was a twinkle in his ey'
that advertised his complete sat
isfaction.

legislative and marketing commit
tee and other committees.
R.. W. Galphin, county farm agent
reported that N. L. Allen, vice
president of the National Fruit
and Vegetable Exchange, wished
to confer with farmers of this
county relative to the marketing
of their produce.
The club appointed Johnny Lark
and j. E. Olsen special commit
tee members and invited members
of the board of directors of all
farmers cooperative associations in
the county and representatives of
independent truck growers to meet
with Allen tonight at 7 o'clock in
Galphin's office to hear Aliens
proposals.
Galphin also reported that Har-
riss Newman, chairman of the re-
organization board of the chamber
of commerce had expressed a de-
sire to have the farmers of the
county represented in that trade
body on an equal basis with in
dustry, commerce and tourist
travel and recommended that the
club take out a membership in the
organization.
The club appointed Albert Seit-
ter, Adam Sondey and R. W. Gal
phin a committee to confer with
Newman, expressing at the same
time approval of steps taken in this
direction to date.
DR.. L.. G. Willis reported he had
been informed Fort Bragg will have
$50 tons of stable manure a month
for sale and inquired if any of the
farmers were interested in pur-
chasing it. 1t was found farmers
in this section can use about 10
cars a month if a satisfactory
price al be arranged.
The club voted to hold its next
meeting at Castle Hayne the first
Thursday in February.

ated in this county and in Pen
der county in which men in rural
sections are filling their trucks
with farm laborers, guaranteeing
them jobs at Holly Ridge, and
hauling them there and back for
So a week.
These laborers, the farmers said,
apparently r not being required
to register with the North Carolina
state Employment Service but are
being hired upon arrival there in
the trucks.
Common labor, they pointed out,
is being paid more at Holly Ridge
than the farmers can afford to pay.
On the other hand, however, they
pointed out that most of their la
borers have worked on their farms
for years, where they have been
cared for at times when they could
secure no work.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the club by Peter
Braak, president, and V. Van Ba-
vel.
"They say that Holly Ridge is
part of the national defense pro-
gram, but furnishing food for the
nation is important in national de-
tense too," Van Bavel said, point
ing out that if the farmers are I'm
able to raise or harvest sufficient
food a serious shortage may result.
Albert Setter reported that the
Wilmington office of the North
Carolina State Employment Serv-
ice was given a list of farm work.
ers from the Wrightsboro section
last week with the request that
these men not be assigned to work
at Holly Ridge but that men with
out employment be selected for that
work. However, he said, workers
from farms at Wrightsboro have
since been given work at Holly
Ridge without registering at the
NOSES office here.
A committee Vas appointed to
take the matter up with the con-
tractors and with the NOSES to
have steps taken to stop the hiring
of farm labor.
There is plenty of common Ia
Dor available in this section of
the state to do the work at Holly
Ridge without the hiring of farm
laborers there" one member said.
The club voted to hold a special
meeting Jan. II at 7:30 p. m. at
Wrightsboro clubhouse to hear
Prof. R. M. Salter, director of the
state experiment stations, and DR..
L. D. Baver speak on the soil re-
search work which is being done
in the state Soil research labora-
tory here.
The club voted to invite mem
bers of the Farmers-Civic Bust

tend the meeting.

There has been much discussion
recently of the committees aims

give Britain all aid short of war.
Critics contended the committee
sought to put the United States
into the war.
White in his statement today
said:..

tered owe the site are huge piles of

And everywhere there is activity.
1t is almost inconceivable what has
happened here in a few weeks. Since
Dec. 16, when nothing had been
done, the entire site has been cleared
sufficiently to allow to see great
distances in all directions. And with
the cutting of streets, the laying of
pipe lines and the building Of tenn
porary and permanent buildings, it
now looks like a boom town under
construction.
And with the work getting we'll
under way, the future looks as
though there will be ever greater &C
tivity and speedier work.
With so many men at work on SO
many jobs, one would expect to See
a lot of loafing and a lot Of wasted
effort. Apparently there is none.
There is no shovel-leaning here and
no unnecessary work which, once
done, will have to be undone.
It's all planned and is proceeding
on plan. And o. what was for
merly a pocosin without any real
value will be a city of 10000 people
and that, too, will buzz with activity.

Other portions of the huge camp
site will be illuminated by street
lights which will give sufficient
lights to allow work at hight on
the streets and to deliver materials
to the various work points so that
workmen coming on the job in the
mornings will find their materials
already at hand, ready for plac'
ing on the job.
This project is too big for a per-
son to understand by a mere trip
over the huge camp site. On every
front there are men working at
various tasks. There is an order
illness about it but to the unln-
formed the entire camp site looks
like an ant hill, on which each ant
goes about his business, unmlnd-
full of the other and not knowing
what the other is doing.
AS a matter of fact some OF the
men do not know exactly what
they are doing other than that
they are erecting a building or
digging a road.
Dunno" was the answer OF some
of the workmen engaged in erecting
the four-winged administrative build

would be used for when completed.

Incidentally, rapid progress is be-

four parallel wings, to be joined at
the front by a building running the
length of the fourth fronts.
All is not easy at the camp site.
Manv of the roads have been put IN
to use long before they were CON-
pletely covered with sand. But the

The size of the German corps is
a military secret, but observers
assumed the Nazis would be as
generous in their help as were the
Italians when, last October, they
sent hundreds of planes, thousands
of men and trainloads of supplies
to the channel front.
Today's announcement, made by
General Francisco Pricolo, chief Of
the Italian air force, also seemed
to support the general view IN
Rome that German aid to Italy
consists to date of specialized eff
fectives, without any call yet
made or contemplated for infantry
men.
Heretofore it has been acknowl-
edged that German transport

This would give work to some

British, however, reluctantly face
the possibility that the Americans
might gain a trade foothold in

This reluctance is one reason
why this scheme has never got

The Missourian said he is op-
posed to participation in this war
because II do not think we require
the help of the British Navy or the
help of the military power Of the
far-flung British Empire, or the Red
Army to defend this Nation or this
hemisphere"
In proposing that the President
submit a declaration Of war as a
means of determining whether the
Nation should unite for war or
peace, Senator Clark said that if 1t
passed mo Americans will outdo us
who have opposed the war IN eager
ness to bare our breasts to the storm
to win the war"
EIging Into War Assailed.
On the other hand, he argued
that If a war resolution were de-
feated, as he believed it would be,
then in the undoubted interest of
American unity. the President should
desist from his efforts to edge us
into the war by small steps and in
directions, by a constant effort to
create incidents by which he would
be able to inflame the people SO as
to justify a declaration OF war"
If Congress will not declare war,
Senator Clark continued, then in
all good conscience the President
should muzzle Knox and Stimson
and the others Of his henchmen who
constantly agitate for war"
Previously. Senator Clark pictured
Secretary of the Navy Knox like
one suffering from rabies, without
any constitutional authority what
ever. declaring war on nation after
nation and solemnly announcing a
hundred-year alliance with Great
Britain - merely a precursor OF
Union Now which simply means
our re-entrance into the British
Empire on terms yet to be deter
mined"
Going back to last years national
election, Senator Clark said Presi-
dent Roosevelt gave chief credit to
the Neutrality Act for. keeping this
country out of war. The Missourian
said the source and inspiration" of
the original Neutrality Act of 1885
was the President of the United
States himself" although the Mis-
souri, Senator and Senator Nye of
North Dakota drafted it.
AT any rate" he continued, at
seems to me quite late in the day
for the egregious Secretary Knox to
attempt to stultify as national
hypocrisy a series of legislative acts
originally inspired by the Presi-
dent -
In another part of his speech,
Senator Clark described Senators

of neutrality revision, as those bril-
liant Young Warhawks from Florida
