Lieut.. hurry w. Weight. were
brought to the sheriff's office here
where the officers found that state
highway patrol was searching for
the car involved in the Shaw
death.
Weight, the only witness to the
accident to appear before the coro-
ner's jury, said that he and Smith
were returning from Wrightsville
beach when the coupe's lights fall
ed. He said that he repaired the
lights with a fuse and they were
travelling at approximately IS
miles an hour when he was struck
near the eye by glass from the
suddenly shattered windshield.
The officer, whose face showed
little signs of an injury, declared
that eff we had had any idea that
it was a man we struck. we would
have stopped"
He said that, fearing that his
eve had been injured. he urged
Cantain Smith to carry him to
the hospital at the air base and
that this probably influenced
him" not to stop. He testified that
before they reached the air base.
the lights of the coupe failed again
and that they were attempting to
drive by the lights of an automo-
bile ahead of them when the coun-
ty officers halted the car.
Under cross examination by Att
torney Edgar L. Vow. who repre-
scented the Shaw estate at the in
quest, Weight maintained that he
had no idea what the coupe had
struck. He denied that he or Smith
had had anything to drink while
having dinner at the home of A
friend at the beach but admitted
that the windshield Of the coupe
was partially obscured by dirt and
dust.
| State Highway Patrolman J. l..
Flowers, who sWore out warrant
against Smith for hit and run driv-
ing, resulting in death. testified
that when he examined the car.
he found evidences of an impact,
mans handprint on the hood,
and blood and hair adhering to
the broken section of the wind
shield.
He told the jury that, In his
opinion, Shaw was walking on the

In Italy, the Allied march on
Rome is IN full swing as the Nazis
give ground grudgingly but fast
enough to avoid en,rapment.
Advices flom Allied headquar-
ters indicate that there is no ex-
recitation of more than a delaying
stand expected now short of the
Rome-Chieti line. Some ALI d
commentators are already appre-
hensive that Rome may be des-
tined to know the grim fate that
overlook Naples.
Even the Rome-Chieti line is re-
garded as vulnerable by military
experts who have closely studied
Italian terrain maps. They doubt
seriously that the German high
command is contemplating a real
knock-down-drag out defense short

II is pointed out that this is the
line to which Nazi generals urged
Mussolini to fall back after the
loss of Sicily to the Allies was
assured. Any other line across the

FILTER CENTER
CHANGES PLAN
Continued Frol.. Page One)

To the several hundred volun-
teers who have manned the infor-
nation and filter center here since
its inception in November, 1941,
Col. Tiger said:
"A feeling of regret comes from
the knowledge that finer group
of American men and women than
you who have worked so earnestly
in our center could never have
been found elsewhere-and know
ing that some of you will not be
making your regularly scheduled
appearance leaves all of us on
duty here most unhappy over the
loss of so many fine friends.
ION the other side of the pic
ture. however. is happier. more
optimistic view than we h ave
seen since the war started. BY
this it is not meant that the con-
flict is over. the war won, and the
victory in sight Indeed not, but
we are on the offensive-the enc
my is now fighting in his own
yard, and the danger for which
the Avs was formed is now less
imminent than that which existed
from December 7, 1941, to the
present.
The center will now operate. he
continued. on the following basis:
l. .Iactivation of the filter room
effective Immediately, except for
a few hours period each week. At
this time. observation posts which
are presently active will resume
the practice of calling in aircraft
movement.
2. Regularly scheduled periods
every other Wednesday fir O. 7
pm. to 9 pm. beginning Octo-
Der 10. During the two hour ses-
sion, the personnel Of night shifts
will have an opportunity to keep
in practice with canned flights, in
tercept problems and changes in
procedure.
3. Irregularly scheduled activa-
ton periods. at the discretion Of
the First Fighter command to test
the efficiency of the "alert' meth
cd of operation. Those latter Pc
RODS may be for one or more
days, and will of course need the
full cooperation of all volunteers.
4. Due to this revised schedule
a new minimum number of hours
will be set for the awarding of
Aircraft Warning Corps wings.
The volunteers stating the cen
ter. Col Tigner said, are being
contacted individually in regard to
their new schedules.
''It is impossible to fully express
my personal appreciation for your
devoted efforts these past w o
years, and I shall welcome any of
you at my office in the center at
any time you care to visit, he
concluded. You have been a
splendid group of volunteers. your
work has been excellent, and, as
exhibited in the past. I shall look
forward to your continued loyal
support of our new methods OF
operations. :"
In his letter to chief observers
of New Hanover county posts, Col.
Tigner said:
"To conform with instructions of
the War Department to operate
the system at intervals. it is re-
quested that all posts which were
in operation until receipt OF above
mentioned telegram, be activated
once each week.
"Every effort should be made
to rotate personnel during those
hours so that as many observers
as possible will have an opportunl-
ty to remain proficient in report
ing procedure.
