D0DCER SHOW
IS DOUBTFUL
County Commissioners Ban
Use OF Legion Sta
dunn Today

The Death Dodgers, Wilmington
based troupe of automobile stunt
ers, were faced last night with
the possibility of being forced to
cancel their scheduled final show
of the duration here this after
noon after the county board OF
commissioners yesterday voted to
deny the troupe the use of Legion
stadium and instructed Sheriff c..
David Jones to bar Dodger equip
ment from the stadium.
However. representatives OF the
Forty and Eight, American Legion
organization and the sponsors OF
the show, declared last night that
the show definitely was not OH
and that efforts were in progress
to secure a Site.
Contending that the automobile
show was against the best interests
of the war effort and that proper
application for the use of the sta
dunn had not been made, the COM
missioners yesterday voted to ban
the show from the stadium after
a previous vote had resulted IN a
tie due to the temporary absence
of a member of the board.
The final vote was made on the
motion of Commissioner l. e w i
Coleman, seconded by Commis-
sioner George Trask.
THAT man will use up more
gasoline and tires in one after
noon than l do in IL months" "
Commissioner Coleman declared.
"Tt's 100 per cent against the war
effort"
Commissioner Trask said that
the show, which features a olive
bomber crash in which an auto
mobile is driven into the side of
two parked cars and similar stunts
was destroying automobiles badly
needed by the government.
Commissioner James M. Hall
said that representatives of the 40
and approached him last Satur-
day night in regard to the use of
the stadium, controlled by h e
county commissioners. Other COM
missioners commented that spon-
sors of the show h u d have
sought permission of the board be-
fore advertising the show for the
stadium.
The first I knew of it was when
I saw it in the papers," Chairman
Addison Hewlett said.
Other routine matters were dis
posed of by the board in a short
session.
Replying to the charge that the
Dodgers were retarding the war
effort, Owner-Manager Irish Horan
declared in statement last night:
Here is brief record of some
of our war activities. We have
sold during our performances this
season s277, 300 in war bonds. 1,

Northl Africa q strong army of the
United States.
I have been advised by very re-
liable sources of information that
in the near future 1t is the inten-
ton Of Germany and Italy to oc-
cupy the French North African
colonies with a large military force.
I know that it will be quite clear
to you that prompt and effective
action should be taken to deter such
an attempt by the Axis nations,
with its inherent danger to the de-
fenses of the Western Hemisphere.
To forestau occupation by the
Axis nations of the French North
African possessions and protecto-
rates, and thus to insure the defense
of American nations, is the only
reason which prompts the dispatch
of powerful United States forces to
the area. It is hoped that French
North Africa will not suffer In any
way from the destruction Of war on
its own soil.
I desire to reassure you fully that
the presence of American military
forces in French North Africa pre-
sages in no manner whatsoever, a

FOLLOWING are the terts OF
President Roosepelts letter to
Marshal Petdin-handed to the
Vichy Chief OF State as the
North Africa i,tDdsion began
and Marshdl Petdin's reply:
Marshal Petain:
am sending this message to
you as chef d'etat Of the United
States to the chef d'etat OF the
Republic of France.
When your government concluded
the armistice convention In 1910
1t was impossible for any OF us to
foresee the program Of systematic
plunder which the German Reich
would inflict on the French people
That program, implemented by
blackmail and robbery, has deprived
the French population Of its means
of subsistence, It's savings; 1t has
paralyzed French industry and
transport; 1t has looted French
factories and farms-all for the
benefit of a Nazi Reich and a Fascist
italy under whose governments no
liberty-loving nation could long ex-
list.
AS an old friend of France and
the people Of France, my anger and
sympathy grows with every passing
day when I consider the misery, the
want and the absence from their
homes of the flower Of French man
hood. Germany has neglected nc
opportunity to demoralize and de-
grade your great nation.
Axis Aims Pointed Out.
Today, with greedy eyes on that
empire which France so laboriously
constructed, Germany and italy are
proposing to invade and occupy
French North Africa in order that
they may execute their schemes o.
domination and conquest over the
whole of that continent.
know you will realize that such
a conquest of Africa would not stol
there but would be the prelude tt
further attempts by Germany ant
Italy to threaten the conquest O.
large portions of the American hem
isphere, large Nominations OF tn
Near and Middle East. and joining
of hands in the Far East with thos'
military leaders of Japan who seel
to dominate the whole Pacific.
It is evident, of course, that al
invasion and occupation OF French
North and West Africa would con
stitute for the United States and al
of the American republics tn
gravest kind of menace to their Sc
curity-just as it would sound tn
death knell of the French Empire.
In the light of all the evidence o
our enemy's intentions and plans
I have, therefore, decided to dis
patch to North Africa powerful
American forces to cooperate will
the governing agencies Of Algeria
Tunisia, and Morocco in repellin
this latest act in the long litany o
German and italian internationa
