BUTNER RANGERS

President Roosevelt Gives
Awards For Gallantry
In Action

CAMP BUTNER, May 22.-lR-
Citation of the LIST and 3rd Ranger
battalions by President Franklin
D. Roosevelt for gallantry in &C.
ton was announced here today by
1t. Col. George M. O'Connor, Com
manding Officer of the 7th Detach.
ment Special Troops Corps.
There were the soldiers who
stormed the beaches at Dieppe
fought the enemy on the sands OF
North Africa, paved the way for
Patton's fighters in Sicily, and es-
tablished the beachhead at Anzio.
Surviving members were attached
to the 4th Ranger battalion before
their return to the United States
from Italy.
Ninety per cent of the 18th Ranger
battalion's personnel wear the mill
tary order of the Purple Heart,
many of them wear the Silver Star
for gallantry in action, and several
possess the distinguis shed Service
Cross, said the 7th detac hment pub
lie relations office. More than 90
per cent of the officers received
battlefield appointments and an
equal per cent received battlefield
promotions.
Both the LIST and 3rd Ranger bat
talions were cited "for outstanding
performance of duty in action dur
ing the period September 10 to
September IS, 1913" Both bat
talions landed in Italy the night of
September 8-9 with the mission of
securing the loft flank of the Fifth
Army in its push northward into
the Plain of Naples.
The citations state: ENEMY
forces were estimated to outnumber
Ranger forces by approximately
eight to one but despite superior
enemy numbers the battalion
heroicly fought off every attempt
to dislodge it. Seven major coun-
ter attacks were repealed during
this period, the battalion's auto
matte deapons, mortors, and gren-
aues, causing considerable damage
to the enemy"
The citations further stated that
the officers and men of both bat
talions fought without rest or re-
lief and with limited food and
water supplies" and that their de-
termined and courageous perfor-
mances made possible the ac-
complishment of a vital mission.
Col. William o. Darby, now with
the army ground forces at Wash
ington, commanded the Rangers
from the date of their activation
until their return to the United
States for rest The personnel
of the 4th Ranger Battalion are
now on furlough but will return
here within the next few days to
resume military duties.

the direct result Of the war;" salt
Gregg Cherry, candidate for gov
ernor, at public meeting her;
tonight. "1t ought not to be dis
sipated in current expenditures.
"a sufficient amount of this sur
plus" stated Cherry, "should b'
allotted to the sinking fund to in
sure the full payment of the prin'
cipal and interest of the present
general fund debt without any
further burden on the current
budget. and such action will result
in an annual saving to our tax
payers of $1,000 600.
"Out of the remaining surplus,
there should be ear-marked at least
the sum of s5,oo00oo to meet the
unforeseen contingencies that will
inevitably arise when the war ends,
thereby assuring that North Caro-
lima shall discharge fully its com
plete Obligation to its young men
and women who are now serving IN

important and vital services have
been made, then all remaining sur

important than a ceiling over

North Carolina farm products.
Cherry declared himself as: Favor

tobacco; opposed to any increase
on taxes on tobacco; favoring
acreage control; favoring price
differential favoring tied tobacco
over united tobacco: and favoring
a discontinuance of the ALLEGATION

Cherry also advocated Industries
to process farm products in the
