missioner of the State Board of
Charities and Public Welfare, a
post she assumed April 1, 1880.
In making the announcement to-
day at Winston-Salem, Chairman
w. A. Blair specified no date for
the termination of her services, but
it was learned here that it would
be April l.
Blair said committee would be
appointed to consider the naming
of her successor. The appointment
must be approved by the COVER

worked night and day at her job. "
Mrs. Bost is the third person to
head the administrative phase OF
the States welfare program since
the office was established in 1917.
Roland F. Beasley of Monroe was

Hull Takes Stand Against Political
Censorship Between Allied Nations

Hull in November, 1912, in letter
to Price and a telegram to Am.
bassador Winant who was instruct.
ed to advise the London govern
ment of Washington's policy.
Stettinius quoted from, the tele-.
gram Hulps belief that ''funda-
mentally the long range interests
Of International friendships are
best served by permitting the peo-
pie of any country to know what
people in friendly countries are
thinking and saying about them,
however unpleasant some of those
opinions may be-"
This, Stettinius added, is still the
American policy.
A copy of Hulrs letter to Price
indicated that about the only
standard of censorship of interna-
tional news exchange among
friendly countries supported by
this country is that of military
security.

ALLIES ROPE OFF
BAY OF BISCAY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-RE
The sea-wise Allies have forged
new blockades in Europe and Asia
and there are increasing signs that
the Axis is starting to vince.
Navy Secretary Knox told today
how the British navy has roped
off the Bay of Biscay as forbid
den to Axis shipping. This seals
off the coast of France. London
went even further in its disclos-
ures-tho Admiralty announcing
that 7,OOO-square mile area skirt
ing both French and Spanish
coasts now is dangerous to ship
ping" That means mines, any
where from Cape F'inisterre,
Spain's westernmost point on the
shoulder north of Portugal, to Ire
land.
An about blockade Of Europe
west coast chops directly at any
sea-going aid the Japanese car
give Germany. The Nazis showed
recently how important Japan
raw materials w re to them
gambling with as many as nan
dozen destroyers in an effort te
bring one cargo ship through the
Bay of Biscay. It failed. Three
more loaded with vital tin ano
rubber were sent to the bottom
in the Atlantic not long ago.
Secretary Knox said fatty, also,
that there has been considerable
smuggling of goods from Spain by
sea into France and thence to Ger
many. -,
The intensified blockade will
stop this, he added, and force any
movements on to already overbur
dened and sagging land transpor
facilities.
The American navy is using the
same dread tactics of blockade il
the Pacific, striking at japanese
blockade runners with air, sea ane
submarine power before they ge
chance to get near the German
held ports.
Blockade is having telling effec

which have been cut off by tn
U. S. thrusts are running out o

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 15.- R| =
Direct peace negotiations between
Finland and Russia appeared to
be underway tonight and Colonel
General Eduard Dietl was reported
to have urged Hitler to order eva
cuation of his troops in northern
Finland.
A German source said there
were indications that a number Of
transport officers, essential for a
large-scale movement, had been
assigned to DietPs command. Col
onel General Hans Ju r 6 e n
Sturnpff of the air force has vir-
tually abandoned his Finnish head
quarters in favor OF Oslo. Norway,
it was said. He also was said to
have ordered the withdrawal of
fighters and bombers from the Ro-
vaniemi and Kemi airfields to
southern Norway.
In this connection it was recalled
that approximately three weeks
ago Finland's foreign minister, Sir
Henrik Ramsay, posed hypotheti-
cal question to the American
charge d'affaires regarding the
American attitude toward Finland
in the event German troops were
withdrawn.
The question might well have
been prompted by knowledge on
Ramsay's part that the Germans
were considering evacuation -
move which would greatly simplify
Finland's chances of quitting the
war. One of the hurdles separating

the specific issue of political CEN

and Great Britain.
The American policy was
brought into the open today by
Undersecretary Of State Edward R
Stettinius who is acting secretary
in the absence of Hull, now on
vacation in Florida. Stettinius was
asked for comment on London dis
patches stating that the British
government with the backing of
the State Department had appoint
ed two foreign office officials to
the British censorship office to
tighten controls on outgoing news
of a political nature.
Stettinius said the department

WHITE CLEARED
IN DEATH CASE
Man Is Exonerated Follow
ing Brawl In Fifth
Ave. House

J. H. White, charged with the
alleged murder of Clifford Wilt
ford, of Carrboro, 33-year-old en-
ploye Of the drydock project here,
which occurred late Monday night
at a rooming house at Ill South
Fifth, was exonerated from all
blame of Williford's death by a
coroner's jury which met in the
courthouse at 3 o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon.
It appeared to the jury, said Cor
oner Asa W. Allen, that Williford
had been under the influence of al
cohol for several days. According
to the story White told Investigate
ing officers, called to the scene
just after midnight by c. j. Leo
nard, Williford was drinking heavi-
ly, and was keeping others in the
rooming house awake by constant
floor walking and noisy talking,
When Williford accused him OF
stealing a bottle of white whiskey,
White got up out of his bed and
struck Williford on the side of the
head with his fist. ....,
The reports said Willifor6 fell to
the floor. sprawling on one knee
and one elbow, then shortly stretch
ed out and failed to move again.
A witness from the room adjoin-
ing that of Willlford and White de-
clared that as soon as he observed
the still body he went over and de-
termined the heart was fluttering
it's last beat.
Other witnesses attested to the
fact that Williford had been drink
ing heavily. Investigating officers
Earl Williamson and j. c. Long.
Jr.. found quart jar of white
bootleg whiskey in the room.
Named as eyewitnesses to the
fatality were E. j. Williamson, R.
A. Sewers, and w. c. York.
Coroner Allen stated that the
man was suffering from an inter
chondral hemorrhage. The jury
said that Williford came to his
death from cause or causes I'M
known and exonerated White from
any blame or responsibility.
Foreman of the coroner's jury
was C. F. Warreu, A. c. Pons,
secretary, H. r. Cavenaugh, John

jury.

RODENT CONTROL
PROGRAM BEGINS

Actual construction work on the
city's proofing program will be-
gin in Wilmington Wednesday, it
was revealed by ]. W. Hunt, OF
the U. S. Public Health service,
to the Junior Chamber of Com
merce at the regular weekly meet
ing of the group Tuesday night
It was disclosed at the meeting
that the State Board of Health is
placing a truck in the city con-
training complete set of tools and
equipment for til e campaign
against the animals. The purpose
of the rolling equipment is so that
the health department can move
the completely equipped work shop
into any desired locality where
rat-control work is in progress.
The truck is to be placed here at
no cost to the City of Wilmington.
Hunt stated before the group last
night that most people are under
the impression that the health de-
partment is doing a lot of unnec-
essary work, but he assured mem
bers of the Junior Chamber that
the department is only trying to
get rid of the rodents.
'"This is strickly program OF
cooperation said Mr.. Hunt. "This
is the purpose of the city ordi-
nance on rat-contro' He said that
persons who have objected to the
rat-proofing of buildings here are
not aware of the benefits which
are being offered in Kidding the
community of the pests.
A report was given the Junior
Chamber group on the high rate
of illness and disease that is
caused directly or indirectly by
rats; by germs or lice, fleas and
other insects carried about on the
bodies of the animals.
A film entitled Keep 'em Out, !"
sponsored by the board OF health,
was shown the organization.

Later these were blotted out

for Casino, used its massive

Altogether, four flights Of

UGLY DUCKLINC'
NOW A WAR BIRD

LONDON, Feb. 15.-RHThe ugly
duckling is quite war-bird in the
skies over Europe now.
The Pr Thunderbolt-that I'M
calmly child of American engineer
ing genius once criticized as too
fat. too heavy and too much for
one man to handle - today chal-
lenges the Spitfire for the title OF
pursuit queen of the skies.
Their tails used to come off dur
ing test flights, but since going into
action in Europe, they've shot the
tails off 657 Nazi planes against
a loss of 1856, to compile one of the
most remarkable air records of the
war.
During the past six weeks, start
ing with Jan. 1, Thunderbolts have
been fighting hundreds of miles
from home bases over unfriendly
territory, and have shot down 223
German planes for a loss OF 40
American craft.
Not since the Battle of Britain
has such lopsided sky score been
compiled.
It is all the more remarkable,
because during the Battle of Brit
ain. the victories were scored
largely against poorly defended
bombers, by fighters often within
sight of their own bases. The Thun.
derbclt victories have been scored
almost exclusively against Ger
