April leaned against the door,
Shed never told anyone that she
had taken Kent to the train that
night. Shed never mentioned the
run-in with Wrinkle. Now with
this document in her hand, she
felt as if her doom had been
handed her, signed, sealed and
delivered.
If Ann knew, she would start
being suspicious all over again
about her, April, and Kent. When
Dad found out, he would be
shocked. It was going to hurt him
in his professional standing-go-
ing to hurt everyone.
"You can't do this, Winkie

"You know settled with you."

American General Praises Group for Intense
 Interest Taken

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 8.-With the personnel of the Russian Avia- ton Mission divided to speed its work, 37 Soviet fliers and technic- ians arrived today and told Brig. Gen. John Brooks, Acting Com mander of the Second Air Force, that the remainder of the group, including Anton Fedetov of the Rus sian Embassy in Washington, had gone to Los Angeles.
 Bertroff Ivanov, spokesman of the group which came here by train, said the section which went to Los Angeles was headed by Brig. Gen. Gromov, chief of the mission. and Col Andrew Iumashev Fedetov, both of whom spent Saturday inspecting the Second Air Force headquarters here.
 Col. Fedetov told reporters Sat- urday that the technicians flew from Moscow to study the latest Amer ican aircraft and probably produc- tion methods.
 I've seen lots of escorted mis- sions," Gen Brooks later told news men, but never have seen a group so intensely all business. These men arrived before breakfast and we went to work immediately. They definitely are not joyriding.'

VICHY, Sept. 8. - More than 100 Jews, including two prominent French lawyers, one of them Min ister of Justice under the old republic, are reported seized as hostages today by the German Oc- cupation authorities in Paris because of attacks on members of the Ger many Army there.
 The Germans announce that in new mass arrests two once prom inent lawyers, former Minister of Justice Mass, and Theodore Valense, former member of the Chamber of Deputies, a native of Corsica, have been taken into custody.
 The official spokesmen here no longer tried to hide the gravity of the strife in the occupied zone or the fact that reprisals have only served to make things worse and increase the violent outbreaks.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. = Na- tional defense has given new mean- ing to the word conversion" and there are few industrialists with production and pocketbooks squeezed by priorities and the like who aren't lying awake nights thinking about it.
 OPM, the Army, the Navy and all other national defense buyers are thinking about it, too.
 Conversion" means changing plant facilities from manufacture of articles for civilian consumption to articles for national defense.
 The complications of it can be left until another time. What started out to tell you was that conversion is making some of the strangest industrial bedfel- lows that ever stretched out on an assembly line.
 It may not be so startling that B. F.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 8. = Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt, 8s, who lived to see her only son be- come President of the United States three times in succession but also to see her great grandchildren play in the house where her son was born-the house she went as a bride-died at the ancestral home overlooking the Hudson River at 11:15 o'clock Sunday forenoon from acute circulatory collapse, resulting principally from her advanced age.
 The Presidents address to the Nation, scheduled for tonight, has been postponed until Thursday.
 At 78, she saw the Hyde Park home become "the summer White House" of her son. At 79, she was a happy celebrant at New York's birthday ball in his honor.
 An earlier milestone: She saw her son, when he was. four, trundle his distant cousin, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, on his back in the nurs- cry at Hyde Park; and 19 years later saw them Frank" young law student, his bride q girl of 21.
 She was her sons childhood nurse, guided his early education, watched his political rise from state senator to President. The crown ing moyent of her life was when her son, just inaugurated, took her in to luncheon at the White House Daughter of Banker

WASHINGTON - The systematic footing of their victims is an old Nazi story, but the extent to which they are denuding France of it's food and industries is graphically reveal ed in a secret document that has just come into the possession of U. S. authorities.
 It consists of financial reports made by branch managers of the Bank of France in German occupied zones to M. De Boisanger, Vichy- appointed head of the bank. How the document got into U. s. hands is an intelligence secret.
 One interesting fact reported by the branch managers is that Berlin agents appear well supplied with foreign currency, apparently appro- priated from other conquered coun- tries What the Nazis can't buy with paper francs in their New Order" of things, they pay for with "valuta' stolen from their victims.
 By this, and other methods, ac- cording to the bank managers, the Nazis are systematically denuding occupied France of all cereals, eggs, milk, butter, cheese, fodder and live stock. Every known wine cellar has been drained dry and already 20,- 100000 bottles of champagne have been shipped to Germany. Also, the 1941 grape crop has been taken over in toto at prices fixed by the Nazis.
 In the Paris area, according to the secret report, all heavy-goods industries have been seized by the Nazis, either through outright re- quisitioning or what amounts to the same thing, payment in Berlin-is- sued paper francs.
 For example, ninety per cent of the former huge French cement in- dustry was requisitioned by Nazj occupation authorities and the other ten per cent bought" with Berlin francs, worthless printing press money
 These seizures mean much to the Nazi war machine, for the Paris area is the principal industrial district of France and includes shipyards, met al and woodworking plants, arms

MARINE BASE IS VOTED
FOR G., ON NEUSE RIVER

Washington. - Vastly charging
North Cardinals role in the ma

voted its approval of the proposed
marine aviation base on the Neuse
River and naval bases at More
head City and Southport.
Acting speedily on the recon-
mendations of the naval affairs
and rules committee, the House
voted passage of the two measures
with little opposition.
With Senate approval expected
to follow without delay, Marine
Corps Commandant General Will
liams expressed the hope that ac-
tual construction could begin on
the aviation base Immediately af-
ter July /. This would mean that
the marine corps is moving to-

TURKISH GOVERNMENT
TO REMAIN NEUTRAL

Ankara, Turkey.-The Turkish
government will observe a hands
off policy towards invaded Syria,
taking only such action as is
necessary to defend its own ma
tional frontiers, the British en-
bassy was reliably informed.
The Turks, with the Germans
already installed on their Euro
pean frontiers and dominating the
entrance to the Dardanelles, were
said in informed quarters to view
the allied drive into the French
territory to the south with con-
siderable satisfaction.
President Ismet Inonu was on
the Syrian border inspecting Tur-
kish defense arrangements when
the long rumored British Free
French invasion actually material
led.
A British military source said
German penetration of Syria with
air force attachments and the ad-
vance neucleus of an army ex-
petition had endangered the en-
tire balance of power in the Mid
die East.

Funds Are Sought For Roads
To Cardinals Defense Bases

Washington. - Immediate pro-
vision of federal funds for the
construction of "access roads" for
North Cardinals military and ma
val developments was urged last
week by L. B. Prince, chairman
of the North Carolina highway
commission at hearings before the
House roads committee.
Accompanied by w. Vance
Baise, state engineer, and Robert
Grady Johnson, representing Gov
ernor J. M elville Broughton,
Prince attended the committees
hearings on President Roosevelt's
request for 125,OOO,000 military
road program.
Prince indicated a belief that
this fund would not be adequate
to meet all the defense needs, but
stated that it would provide for
the most urgently needed devel-
opments in North Carolina.
eff this bill is passed." he stat
ed, lit will solve our most imme-
diate problem, which is the pro-
vision of adequate transportation
between the new marine barracks,
Jacksonville, the marine aviation
base, Morehead City and Fort
Bragg"
Prince also expressed the be-
lief that the state should not be
, required to match federal funds
in the construction of access roads.
"Access roads do not fit into
our highway system" he said. IF
it were not for the camps there
would be no necessity for them.
For that reason I believe they are
an actual part of the camp and
it's facilities and their cost should
be borne by the federal govern
ment."
North Carolina is not waiting
for the federal government to
provide funds before undertake
ing this program, however, Prince
asserted, Surveys for the urgent
1y needed defense roads are 60

could begin without delay as soon

KAISER WILHELM WAS
BURIED ON MONDAY

Berlin. - The last Kaiser, Will
helm II, the supreme war lord
and commander of an imperial
Germany that is no more, died
last Wednesday in Doom, the
Dutch village that had been his
serene refuge since the defeat of
his people in 1918.
He was 81. His death came at
1870 a. m. (4:3O a. M, est), as
peacefully as he had hoped it
would come. The cause was in
testinal disorders and lung en-
boly-a condition in which one
part of a hollow organ is drawn
back within another.
Never since he fled his defeated
Germany had he returned to the
homeland, and now his body is to
remain in German-occupied Hol-
land.
He was buried at Doom Mon

requested, will ''take place with

as funds are provided.
Funds provided in the present
bill, he said, will not be adequate
to begin work on the strategic
network" of highways which are
planned to criss-cross the nation
and which include several routes
in North Carolina.
The highway chief also ex-
pressed strong opposition against
proposals now pending before
Chairman Robert L. Doughton's
ways and means committee to
levy new federal, tax on gaso-
line. He said such a tax would
seriously cripple North Cardinals
highway program by reducing
gasoline consumption and cutting
tax revenue. He said he planned
to memorabilia the entire Tar
Heel delegation opposing the i'm
position of the additional gaso-
line tax.
