JAIL AGREEMENT
TALKED BY BOARD

A new three-year contract with
the Federal government relating
to the detention of Federal prison
ers in New Hanover county jail
was discussed by county commits
sioners Monday afternoon at the
regular meeting of the board.
Commissioners asked that a
check against the previous con-
tract be made for changes and
proposed a closer study of the
contract before approval could be
given.
The present contract reads that
rs cents a day would be supple
mented by the government, how
ever J. A. Orrell, county auditor,
stated that the actual cost of
maintaining prisoners amounted
to more than 81. This figure was
agreed on by the board of COM

pending approval by the Federal
government.
Sheriff c. David Jones stated
before the board that Federal pris-
oners housed in New Hanover
county Jail were few. Most of
those were arrested by Alcohol

landings and establishing bridge
heads off the Dalmatian coast.)
London Yugoslavs, meantime,
were awaiting the arrival of a mil

they were confident would shape
up the invasion program. They
said the delegation probably would
go to Ankara before proceeding
here.
The Yugoslav communique said
partisans also had laid siege to the
German garrison at Novo Mesto,
40 miles west of Zagreb in eastern
Slovenia, 80 miles from the Italian
border.
In eastern Bosnia, Herzegovina
and Montenegro, hard fighting was
in progress with the partisans on
the offensive in the latter two
provinces, the communique said.
