{ o m m a nder Westbrook
Names Leon Director OF
Annual Campaign

Wilmington Post No. 10, Amer
ican Legion, Saturday launched
its membership drive for the year
1943-1944, under the direction OF
Clarence (Mike) Leon, a former
commander of the post, according
to Commander Norwood S. West
brook, who announced the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Leon.
The campaign is planned in ac-
cordance with the program of the
Department Of North Carolina and
Mr.. Leon said Friday night at a
special meeting of the member
ship, that an active effort is under
way to enroll members at an early
date.
Officials of the Post expressed
the desire that the work be COM
pieted by A,rnistice day.
Due 10 the fact that various de-
fense industries in New Hanover
county are bringing an influx of
persons from various parts of the
United States to this county, the
number of eligible veterans of
World War No. l has greatly in
creased it was stated, and every
veteran is invited to contact Mr..
Leon or some member of the COM
mittee who will enroll him as ac-
tive member of the local Post.
In commenting on Legion af-
fairs and the added responsible
ties of World War No. 2, Com
rander Westhrook said: 1--WE are
facing serious problems on t h e
home front, and there is little
doubt II the public mind that the
American Legion is one of the or
carnations that can and will be
depended upon to see that we win
this war and then to make sure
that we win the peace"
Believing -aat every veteran is
still anxious to take an active
part 'for God and country, COM
munity state and nation" the To-
cal post is appealing to its mem
bers to assist the committee by
renewing their 1943 A cards
promptly, Commander Westbrook
said.

Thomas Ayers Stain Intends
To Call The Tune In Eur0pe

WASHINGTON. July "a -R -
Norman Thomas, leader of the So
clalist party, declared today that
Marshal Stain of Russia has
shown definitely that he intends
to call the tune in Germany and
central Europe in the postwar Pc
riod.
He based his opinion. expressed
at press conference, upon the
formation in Russia of a committee
OF German refugees and war pris-
oners and its appeal to Germans to
revolt against Hitler. The appeal
was publlcized by the Communist
party in Russia.
Without waiting for a peace
table, Thomas contended, "Stalin
has shown definitely that he is not
going to permit a British-American
army to police Germany and CEN
tral Europe after the war. He's in
a position to block it. His army
may reach Berlin first" -
But the Socialist leader declar.
ed that Stalin's method of achiev.
ing his objective would not be
through the use Of his army, but
by an appeal to the people of Ger
many in an attempt to bring them
into the Communist ranks.
And, he observed, Stalin's aim
may make the training of all
the American Gaulieters somewhat
superfluous.' He referred, he said
to the Army's action in training

sharp decline in quality and some
