Walk

The Japs have new war slogan, selected in
rudimentary knowledge OF Japanese we should
say it's good one-at least from the Ameri-
can standpoint.
The slogan, or college yell, Is 'Iki, Walk,
Konki, Sookekki'
Icky as the Japs' propaganda line, wacky
as their ideas Of conquest, and conked out as
they rapidly are becoming, it seems to sum
up the situation pretty well. We aren't sure
about "Sookekki,'' which is probably among
the items yet in store for the little buckt tooth
ed men.
GActually, the slogan means 'Spirit, har-
nony, stamina, total action" In case anyone
Is interested)

it's northern tip and Mindanao
It takes lot of planes and keen-eyed pilots
to maintain tight blockade over those dis
tances. Halmahera's isolation is the most
thorough of any japanese insular base in the
Pacific Yet the distances are small compared
to the empty vastness Of the central Pacific.
By-passed Truk, for example, is some 700
miles from the nearest American airbase. Re-
current flurries of japanese aerial intercept
ton there demonstrate that shipping still
reaches Truk. But any vessel entering Hal
naheras harbors runs the danger of destruc-
ton before it can escape, because bombers
can cover the distance from New Guinea so
quickly.

With The AEF
Benny Likes One-Man Jobs

Benny had never seen a P-40. So
he went out to the airport and
asked the crew chief to give him
a cockpit check. Hurricanes and
Spitfires had been simple - just
turn couple of switches and take
off. The P40 had nine separate
gadgets you had to tinker with first.
But Benny solved them the first
time and flew to Tunisia. In six
days from combat with the Raj
he was back in combat with the
AAF.
Since then he's flown more than
100 additional missions. When
stuck on the ground he storms and
swears at the soft life" he says
the boys lead. He says they're all

'SUTTLETIES'
The inside on the Washington scene Of
interest to the CarOlinas.
BY HOWARD SUBTLE
Star-News Washington Bureau
Star-News Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Industries of North
Carolina and other southern states, as a re-
suit of recent developments, are much nearer
permanent relief from freight rate discrmi-
nations, which Dixie leaders contend have kept
the south in economic slavery since the war
between the states.
Most recent break for southern industry
came with the revelation that Attorney Gen
eral Francis Biddle and his Department Of
Justice staff are preparing to move in on
the freight rate fight now being led by the
Southern Governors conference, of which Gov.
j. Melville Broughton is an active member,
with view of invoking the Serman antitrust
law in forcing the railroads to equalize freight
rates all over the country.
Wendell Berge, assistant attorney general in
charge of the antitrust division, has announce
ed that the department of justice is now en-
gagged in a sweeping probe of freight rates
claimed to be discriminatory against not only
the South and Southwest, but also the West
and Pacific areas.
The statement by Berge was verified by
Biddle in an address delivered before the
Spokane, Wash, Bar association.

CHARITIES AWAIT

The board of directors of Asso-

of the budget committee of the
Community Chest to learn whether
or not Associated Charities will re-
ceive an appropriation from the
Chest for the coming year.
The charities board met Friday
afteroon, but made no further
elaboration on or addition to in
formation contained in a letter
dated August IA from Rabbi M. M.
Thurman, president of the Asso-
clated Charities, to the Rev Walter
B. Freed, president of the Com
munity Chest, in which Thurman
asked for incarnation as to the
Cheats intentions concerning his
organizations appropriation.
Thurma's letter brought to light
the information that the Communi-
ty Chest is allegedly planning to
withdraw its financial support from
Associated Charities, and to estab-
lish a new Family Service Agency
here.
The board of directors sanctioned

DIXIE GOVERNORS IN sPEARHEAD

The long hard fight, spearheaded by the
Southern Governors conference, reached eli
max in June when the conference freight rate
committee. including Gov. Broughton, appear
ed at hearing before the Interstate Com
merce commission and threw the full weight
of their arguments, backed by convincing facts
brought out through long research trans
portation costs.
This hearing was called by the ICC after
the Board of Investigation and Research, Gre
ated by Congress, had reported the existence
of arbitrary freight rate schedules discrimi-
natory against certain areas.
Broughton, together with Gov. Prentice Coo
per of Tennessee, and Gov. Spessard L. Hol-
land, of Florida, warned the commission that
unless rate determinations are abolished,
southern states stand to lose more than a
billion dollar worth of war plants. They con-
tend that many of these plants may be con-
verified to permanent peace time operation if
they are permitted transportation rates for
their products that would enable them to COM
pete with industries of the East.
"If the commissions decision Is in our IA
vor," Broughton declared following the hear
ing, "as we are convinced it will be because
of the strength of our case, it will be of ire
mendous advantage to development of south
ern industry.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

They will be coming home, these boys
of ours looking to us for assurance ana LOT
strength to face the trying days ahead as
thew re-establish themselves in normal
routine of life This is our challenge! There
are men who will still find God as they
find Him in our lives. There are men who
came near to finding Him once, to whom
we must show Him now. There are men
who found Him far from home, to whom
we must show His Presence abiding here.
We must make His presence SO evident in
our daily lives that men knowing us, may
always be able to say "And God is here"

HOLINESS CHURCH
TO NOTE BIRTHDAY

The First Pentecostal Holiness
church, North Fourth and Camp
bell streets, will observe it's tenth
anniversary of organization n d
also the pastorate of the Rev. T..
D. Dickens today.
The church was organized in Au-
gust of 1884, and had for it's place
of worship for several years a
small building at North Second
and Parsley streets.
Because of its growth and ex-
tensive Christian program, addi-
tional room and facilities had to
be provided; the acquisition of the
present church home was made
April 81. The building has been
in use since June 4.
For interest from all Wilmington
churches and from the city, which
made the acquisition possible, the
church has expressed its appreci-
alton and has promised to strive
to make such contribution to the
spiritual life of the community as
to benefit those who participated
in the extension program.
Although the church has achiev-
ed much in the financing of it's
expansion program, it is now en-
deavoring to raise $4,000 by No
vember l. Thereafter, finances on
the property will be made monthly.
