BRITAIN ACCUSED
OF BOND SCHEME
Arrested For Conspiracy
In Unlawful Negotiation
OF Securities

What U. S. Secret Service agents
termed the largest case of con-
spring with War bond holders in
the unlawful negotiation Of the Sc
curities was revealed here yester-
day following the arrest of Ben
jamin Franklin Britain, Sc, of los
Castle street, by the officers on
conspiracy charges. He was later
released on bond of $4,000 to await
action by the Federal grand jury.
They said Britain centered his
activities at the yard of the North
Carolina Shipbuilding company.
Officials of the shipyard had mott
fled federal authorities of ''sus-
picious activities saying that they
felt, from = patriotic point OF
view," something should be done,
the officers reported.
Agents said they seized about
81, 500 in War bonds from the per-
sonal effects of Britain. They add
ed that, in approximately go days,
he had negotiated War bonds with
total value of more than $500.
1t was estimated by federal au-
thorities that more than 200 checks
were mailed from the Federal Re-
serve bank of Richmond to various
pages, all addressed to Brittain's
residence. - s.-...1-

Message to Readers

The management of the Star-News regrets that it
has recently been unable to publish all of the advertising
submitted to it and also to accept subscriptions,
due to the rigid restrictions placed upon both the Star
and the News through newsprint aotmens by the War
Production Board.
Because of the tremendous shortage of newsrrint
we have been forced reduce the number of
ISSUE Despite this curtament we are going to furnish
as broad news coverage and many features as we
have been publishing though we are compelled to
curtail our advertising volume to do so.
This condition is general from percentage basis OF
newsprnt aloments to all papers, but the daies the
East Coast whose communities have had large popula
ton increases have been hit hardest particularly Nor
folk Charleston and Wilmington.
During last week we were forced to reject 1880
inches of advertising and many subscriptions, in
order to maintain and feature service and pro-
tect old subscribers We hope this condition may be
remeded and that normal operation permitted by
the War Production Board.
We are glad to do bit in the war emergency,
and solicit the patience and long continued friendship
of our readers in the assurance of expanding pro-
gram when conditions ease up.
