Adopt Uniform Style
On Foreign Places

In an effort to avoid confusion
among readers over variants in the
thousands of place-names the war
has brought into the news, the three
major press associations serving
American newspapers have agreed
on a uniform style, it was announced
yesterday.
The press associations decided TO
follow, in general. the style of the
National Geographic Society, but
excepted 78 spellings which they be-
lieve are definitely fixed in the minds
Of readers.
The new uniform style will 20 into
effect today in the news reports of
the Associated Press, the United
Press and the International News
Service
The National Geographic Society
style basically followed is that of
the name in use in the various for
eign countries themselves. The
principle of native spellings also has
been adopted by the United States
Geographic Board and the chief
American atlas and map pub
fishers.
Out Of 10000 names listed by the
National Geographic Society, the
three news services made the rs ex-
ceptions in the cases Of places figur-
ing prominently in western culture,
history or tradition under an angli-
cized form.
Exceptions Adopted.
These exceptions include Rome
instead of Roma, Moscow instead
Of Moskva, Vienna instead OF Wien,
Athens instead Of Athenai, Limerick
instead of Luimneach, Euphrates
River instead of Frat River, etc.
Among the National Geographic
usages adopted are Romania instead
of Rumania, Yugoslavia instead of
Jugoslavia, Manchurla instead of
Manchukuo, and Dnepr and Dnestr
Rivers instead of Dnieper and
Dniester.
Foreign names for such words as
island" gulf" sea" ETC., gen.
orally given in the National Geo
graphic Society's lists in native
form, are to be translated into Eng
lish by the news services.
The three services agreed also on
the form Marshal Josip Broz for
the Yugoslav Partisan leader, In
stead OF Brozovich. The appellation
Tito also will be retained.
Aimed at Ending Confusion.
The new uniform style is aimed at
ending such confusion as may have
arisen over places like Cernauti, also
called Czernovitz, and Iasi, also
called Jassy, to name only two
which are prominent In current
news.
Following are the exceptions to be
made to the National Geographic
lSociety's stvle.

Saturday, April y, was
strictly a Tiger day, a day
on which the officers and en-
listed men of the battalion
banded themselves together to
make a memorable cne.
A schedule of activities, beginning
at 9:Co o'clock in the morning and
not ending until the wee hours" of
the night was worked out. These
activities encompassed an inter-
battalion track meet, boxing ex-
hibiticn, a formal retreat parade
and, to end the evening joyously. a
cabaret ball, at the large field house.
The battalion made it possible
for a large contingent of WACS
from the nearby Douglas Air Base
to visit them as guests at the dance,
at which the Post swing band furn-
ished music.
The eventful day passed joyfully
but~ too swiftly and the proud and
happy look on the faces. of all our
comrades at party's end attested to
the fact that the Anniversary Gel

A portion of the USO Club was
literally converted into Women's

April 22nd, when 65 WACs from the
Douglas Air Base and 25 hostesses
from the Tucson USO Club came to
spend the weekend at the USO as
guests for the Anniversary program
of the 827th Tank Destroyers.
AS soon as the Field Day activi-
ties were over, the entire group hur-
ried back to redress for the main
event of the day--a large dance at
the Field House
At the end of the day the very
tired but happy group returned to
the USO and quickly took posse

WAR PRISONER
CAMP APPROVED

Col. William S. Pritchard, in
ternal security officer for the
North Carolina district, disclosed
in an interview here Thursday
that the Army has approved the
use of the NYA center on the Caro-
lima Beach road as a site for the
temporary internment of 500 1tal'
ian war prisoners, who will be
employed by pulpwood and fer
tilizer industries in the Wilmington
area.
The internment of prisoners OF
war in the abandoned center. he
said, is dependant upon the avail
ability of the buildings from the
Procurement officer of the U.
S. Treasury in Raleigh. Title to
the buildings is held by the Fed
eral government and Colonel
Pritchard said, all efforts are
being made to have it n.aae
available SO that the prisoners
can Immediately be sent here
from camp bQlrler.
Delay in bringing these prison

bers of General Ronmelps Afri.

mel Pritchard was explained as be-
ing due to the great expense at
tached to the winterizing of the
former FSA labor acmp at Castle
Hayne, which was the first site
to be studied.
1t was estimated that to pre-
pare the Castle Hayne camp
would cost many thousands of dol
lars and Colonel Pritchard ex-
planned it was believed ''this was
an excessive cost for the length
of use by the prisoners.
Selection of the NYA center as
an internment camp followed a
two-day conference here between
Army officers, the board Of coun-
ty commissioners, representatives
