does not fatty deny that political consider

General Marshall from the post OF American

It is claimed in some Washington quarters
that much Of the discord that has resulted
from the controversy over Marshall h a S

authority to clear away whatever may have
been wrong in press reports The press has

cannot help. Instead they add to the con-

Bleacher Seats Needed

Now that the football season is under way
and Camp Davis has scheduled games with
crack college teams, Wilnington's grid fans
will have opportunity to witness some fine
contests Colonel Adam E. Potts, camp COM
mandant, issues an invitation to civilians to
attend, whenever the team plays at home.
But the camp cannot offer the comfort OF
bleacher seats to all corners unless Whining
ton lends hand. For instance, last week S
game with Wake Forest drew at least 20,0 600
spectators The camp stadium can seat no
more than $500. OF the throng that turned
out fully r., 500 had either to stand up or sit
on the ground, which is never advantageous
post from which to watch football games.
communication from the camp says: 1--WE
need bleacher seats at Davis. We will come
to town, pick them up, take them to camp
and return them after each game if neces-
sary but certainly at the end Of the season.
We will see that they are not damaged
We don't know what Wilmington can do
to supply the 5000 needed, but are sure that
the camp will not be turned down. if the seats
are available We are the more certain of
this in view Of the fact that Camp Davis is
to play such teams as North Carolina State,
Davidson, Presbyterian and North Carolina
university.

Raymond Clapper Says:
Ciuilian Requirements
Offer hankless Task

but are the necessities Of daily
living for the war workers. Tha.
kind of production is the seed corn
of war production. If your war
worker is not on the job in condi.
ton to work, then the object of all
war production effort h been
defeated before a wheel has turn
ed.
What needs to be guar I'd e
against is the manufacturer who
is looking for way to get started
on postwar production, or the one
who wishes to take advantage of
starved market. And attention
must be given to the clogging of
distribution channels, the boarding
in some areas, the snatch buying
that leaves new war-boom towns
short Of goods while older back
wash communities get their full
stocks as usual.
AS military authorities warn us,
both publicly and off the record,
this is no time to loosen up as if
expecting the war soon to be over.
Concessions made for civilian pro-
ductlon can properly be made only
where necessary to maintain pro
ductive efficiency of war manpow-
er. But some WPB officials; fear
that not sufficient provision is be-
ing made for that and they find
it difficult to win support for CT
william needs.

US. S. Douglas Wiley Gillette

With the United States building the greatest
fleet in the history Of the world, the frequent
launchings of fighting craft have become al
most routine, but recently trim destroyer
escort went down the ways at Quincy, Mass,
and the occasion was significant for Whining
ton. She was the U. S. S. Douglas Wiley
Gillette.
Destined to play an important part in our
fight agains THE Axis, she bears the name
of a former Wilmingtonian who died aboard
the aircraft carrier Hornet. She is the first
warship to be named in honor of native
son who has fallen in this war.
Many of us remember Lieutenant Gg) Gil
lette. He was born here September 12 1918,
the day on which his father, Colonel George
w. Gillette, received his citation and the Sill
yer Star for extraordinary heroism in the
Battle OF the Sonlme. He was educated in
the public schools and attended New Hanover
High school for two years before leaving for
hawaii IN 1888, where he was later gradu-
ated. He attended the University of North
Carolina and later transferred to George
Washington university in Washington, where
ne was active in many school functions His
education was completed at Northwestern uni
versity In September, 1941, he entered the
Navy and on October /, 1912, was promoted
from the rank of ensign. Lieutenant Gillette
died with his ship.
From the moment Japan learned that Gen.
eral Dooittle's bonbers had used the Hornets
deck for their takeoff on the Tokyo raid, she
was placed at the top of the enemy's list for
destruction She helped defeat the japanese
in the Battle Of Midway and was in four
major engagements before an aerial torpedo
from Nipponese plane, the last of six that
attacked the ship, ended her gallant career
In the Battle of Santa Cruz During the en-
gagement, Lieutenant Gillette was at his bat
tie station on the third deck when the 1000
pound torpedo, dropped by the plane in
suicide dive, struck the deck and smashed
through to his station. The enlisted men In
the group had been ordered to take cover and
most of them escaped serious injury.

WASHINGTON. One of the
thankless tasks IN wartime Wash
ington is to fight the battle fol
what the civilian needs.
Although rarely recognized as
such, certain civilian goods are
actually part of our war needs.
We stopped making alarm clocks
but were compelled to resume be-
cause war-workers needed help tc
get up on time for work.
Yet it is difficult, naturally, to
convince the Army and Navy OF
the necessity for certain kinds OF
civilian production. War Produc-
ton Board officials are concerned
now lest the opposition of the mill
tary services prevent adequate CT
william production.
When the question of providing
900, 900 refrigerators next year is
raised, it looks like plea for lux
ury goods, or a scheme for manu-
facturers to get in early for post
war trade, or overoptimism about
the end of the war. Manufacture
of those refrigerators requires IA
cilities that otherwise would be
used for direct war production.
But what if there are no refrig.
orators? The Federal Housing Ad.
ministration reports that publicly
financed war housing is now being
completed at the rate of 1000
dwellings day. Few war-expand-
ed communities have enough ice
men. Unless refrigerators can be
obtained, families will have spoil
ed food, hence illness. The War
Production Board has a committee
of physicians studying some of
those problems OF ascertain the
effect on war production.
In the Baruch report on West
Coast manpower the loss in pro-
duction of heavy bombers is at
tributed in part to labor turnover
reaching in some plants as much
as 100 per cent year. To check
that the report urged better hous-
ing and living conditions for air.
craft workers.
This is not matter of restoring
Injuries, and of allowing the re-
turn of the chocolate candy par,
and the chocolate icing on the cake
This is a matter of living condi-
lions that permit war workers
to put in a full days work. Re-
pairs for the electric iron, OF d
new electric iron, may save lost
time at the plant Or SO the War
Production Board believes in fix
ing the essential needs for 3,0O0,-
900 electric irons next year.
Food, transportation, utilities,
and civilian products such as wash
ing machines and shoes, necessary
to efficient living, are all part of
the means by which the supply of
heavy bombers can be kept at
peak flow. The heavy bombers
that were lost in production last
summer would have been enough
for first class mission into Ger
many.
We have most basic materials
to permit additional production OF
civilian essentials. Although plant
facilities are less easily found, war
production schedules are being re-
vised constantly. Excessive SUP
plies have been produced and out
put has been curtailed in some
items. Inventions change prodlic-
ton schedules, and t h e rocket
weapons may cause drastic re-
vision of artillery production. So
demands ON some production IA
cilities are reduced while they are
increased on others.
In that process of continuous re.
adjustment, a place h uld be
made for those few essential ci-
william items which are not luxuries
