OFFICERS DENY
NAZI PRISONERS
ESCAPING HERE

Law enforcement officers anu
officia1s of the Prisoner OF War
camp on the Carolina Beach road
Joined Monday in a blanket de-
NAL of the hundreds Of rumors to
tho effect that German prisoners
are escaping from the heavily for
titled camp.
80 our knowledge, not single
prisoner has escaped from the
nlace," Sheriff c. David Jones an
nounced. after comforting with the
state Highway Patrol, and the
Army personnel in charge OF the
camp.
1--WE are asking the public to
ouell all the baseless reports OF
escapes. These are working a
hardship on the county police, the
sheriff's, office, the city police.
and the State Highway Patrol, as
well as the camp personnel,
Jones revealed.
A number of reports on supposed
escapes have been filed by cltl-
zens with the various law enforce.
ment branches, and telephones IN
all the offices have been ringing
constantly as a result Of the slz-
able crop of rumors now in circu-
lation.
The most recent wild report to
make the rounds was heard over
the weekend. It went something
like this: Three German prls-
oners were caught at Colonial Viii
llage; and one of them was shot
and killed" The tale was descrlb'
ed by the sheriff as being the
product OF one or more vivid
imaginations. 1t may have been
precipitated by a story of three
american soldiers who 'took
leave" from the brig at one Of
the surrounding military installa'
lions. Harmless, the Americans
were being held for some minor
offense. They were soon appre-
hended, and injury was not in
volved.
One of the State Highway Pa
trolmen said Monday morning he
couldn't rest at home on Sunday
for answering telephone callers
who bombarded him with questions
about ESCAPED" prisoners.
The prisoners have been proved
satisfactory in both work and con-
duct, it has been explained by Of
ficers and others who have OBJ
served them.
The men wear uniforms bear
ing an unmistakable Prisoners OF
War Identification.

Writer Decries Attacks on State Aides
AS Demagogic, Discredtable, Insincere

was closer to Mr.. Hull than any
other man in the department. Mr..
Hull not only liked him better, but
relied upon his advice to greater
extent than any other. He took him
to the London Economic Confer
ence, the Moscow Conference and
others He was his chief adviser
on political relations.
Mr., Hull, it will be conceded, is
hardly the man TO make an lnti-
mate friend and counselor OF the
cookie -pusher" type When one
gets down to the facts, it was this
closeness of Mr.. Dunn to Mr.. Hull
and his complete loyalty to him that
explained the violence of the oppo-
sition of these liberal spokesmen
to Mr.. Dunn.
They hated Mr.. Hull and they
hate the idea Of the advancement
of his closest friend Take them
altogether and these six appoint
ments are as fine as any Mr.. Roose-
welt has made in y years.
They are clearly in the national
lnterest-much more SO than the
two surplus property appointments
which were almost unanimously
confirmed week ago The fight
against them was demagogic, dis

ROME, Dec. 20-Polish and In

virtually cleared all enemy forces
from the area south of the Senio

The Germans still hold a 9-mile
salient between FaenZa and Bagna-

On the 5th Army front in the

@. What Is a widows walk"?-
N. E. r.
A. 1t is the railed-in balcony
which is often seen on the roof of old
New England seashore homes. Here
the wives of seafaring men were
accustomed to watch for the return
of their husbands.
Q. Do carrier pigeons released
from airplanes at high attitudes
suffer any i'll effects?-D. E. @.
A. Lack of oxygen and intense
cold at high attitudes does not seem
to bother them. After release, the
birds usually spiral down to their
favorite ceiling Of from 800 to 400
feet.
@. What proportion of the vote In
the recent presidential election was
cast by Women?-E L. H.
A. Women cast 50.3 per cent of
the total vote This was the first
time that women outnumbered men
in the ballot.
@. How do survey ships make deep
sea soundings?-V. L.
A. Soundings are generally made
with lead and line down to 10
fathoms 80 feet). Beyond that
depth a fathometer, an instrument
which measures depths by means
of sound waves, is used.
@. Which is the older portion of
Budapest, Buda or Pest?-S. r. B.
A. Buda is the older section hav-
ing been built by the Romans in the
I'd century -AD. 1t contains the
government Offices. Pest, on the
opposite bank of the Danube River,
was founded in the 5th century, and
is the commercial, industrial and
intellectual center of the city.
