DEGAULLE PLEDGES
EARLY ELECTIONS

PARIS, Nov. 9.-(R)-In his first
speech to the neWly-convened, re-
vised consultative assembly, Gen.
Charles De Gaulle today pledged
early elections and a restoration
of republican institutions. He de-
manded respect for his govern
ment's authority.
Wildly acclaimed as he mounted
the rostrum in the glittering Palais
de Luxembourg, the chamber of
the old French Senate, Gen. De
Gaulle stressed that his cabinet
desired to collaborate with the as
sembly and asked its cooperation
in the tasks of rebuilding the ma
tional economy and reforming the
social structure.
'1t is the duty of the government
to call upon the citizens to ex-
press themselves through univer-
sal suffrage" De Gaulle told the
members of the provisional assem-
bly,, which will act as Frances
legislature until elections are held.
SIT seemed necessary to the
government - pending elections
to constitute the assembly and
give it advice and support" he
said. This assembly is formed
with representatives of the leaders
of resistance who have proved
themselves in tragic hours
The general emphasized that
meanwhile it was Frances task to
pursue the war beside the Allies
until Germany's defeat.

City Attorney William B. Camp
DELL yesterday prepared a reso-
luton authorized by the City
Council Wednesday stating the rea-
sons why the city objects to the
introduction to the 1915 General AS
sembly to legislation which asks
for one-half Of the net profits OF
the Alcohol Beverage Control
funds of New Hanover county.
It is pointed out in the resolution
that the loss of this source of reve-
nue. to the city will mean the loss
of an estimated sum of $4,000 dur
ing the current year from the ABC
board.
It is argued this loss would result
in an increase in the city property
tax rate of at least IS cents on the
500 valuation. The property tax is
the largest source of income OF the
city, it is reported, and the Abe
tax rates second.

|FALES ADDRESSES
CIVlTAN CLUB HERE

There are more than 100, 900, 900
fingerprints on file at the Federal
Bureau of Investigation in Wash
ington, Harry Fales, superintend-
ent of the New Hanover Bureau of
Investigation, told the Civitan club
at its regular meeting last night
at the Friendly.
The Kingoff robbery in July has
done more to expose the utilization
of ex-convicts in this vicinity than
any case. in many years, Fa1es
said. adding that the suspects had
testified against each other. He
showed fingerprints to the club
that have helped clear up many
other robbery cases in this area.
One of the main factors in solv-
ing the Kingoff robbery was one
strand of hair which was found in
the store by Fales and matched
with hair from the head of Bill
Rising, who is now serving an $40
year term in prison for the rob-
berry.
The New Hanover bureau pho
tographs and fingerprints every
person arrested in the county ex-
cept in the case of minor traffic
violations, he said, and sends the
photographs, fingerprints and rec
ords to a central clearing house in
Washington. This helps in locating
criminals all over the world and
tends to make people behave when
they know their records will follow
them. Fales said.
A Personal Identification file is
also in Washington and contains
the fingerprints of many school
children and citizens, who have
been photographed for their own
protection. This is big aid in kid.
mapping cases and in identifying
corpses, he reported.
Fales stressed the great work
done by the F. B. I. in combating
crime in this country and discuss
ed Identification by palnprints
footprints and strands of hair.
A National Defense file, set up
since the war, has been of great
help to shipyards and other de.
tense industries in checking their
employees, he revealed.
Mr.. Fales was introduced by
Haywood Barden, chief petty Off
Ger of the Naval Intelligence Of

er needs and the available supply.
An April Is deadline for major
consumers to file information on
their lumber needs does not mean
a freeze on lumber, WPB said in
an effort to remove misunder-
standings.
Consumers will continue to re-
ceive lumber under existing
orders until the new purchase
system is effective, WPB said,
unless they have failed to file
proper requests for the lumber &C.
cording to its intended use.
Lumber controls now are ap-
piled at the producers level,
WPB explained, but when informa-
ton on major essential needs is
correlated with amounts available
the control will be at the pur-
chasers' level by means of speclt-
ic authorizations.

COL. POTTS TALKS
AT LADIES NIGHT

The Cape Fear Country club
was the scene Of the first Ladies
Night the Wilmington Kiwanis club
has held in three years Wednes-
day night, when some members,
their wives and special guests sat
down to a real honest-to-g goodness
steak dinner, with a dab of butter
for everybody. There were other
commestibles as well, but the but
ter was accorded chief attention
and avid consumption. Steaks and
butter were made possible when
Kiwanians raided their wives ra-
ton books and surrendered the
necessary points. How the points
will affect home larders is some
thing each member must settle in
his own way. There was too much
hilarity around the tables during
the evening for this to have much
consideration.
Col. Adam E. Potts, comman-
dant at Camp Davis, spoke brief
ly and, as always, to the point, on
Patriots day and the advantages
the home population has over the
fighting forces on the battle
fronts.
Special guests were introduced.
The were Lieut.. Col. J. T. Knight,
district engineer; Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Rogers, the Rev. and
Mrs. C. D. Barclift and Mr.. and
Mrs. John K. Ward, the three last
named men being president re-
spectively of the Rotary, the Ex-
change and the Civitan clubs.
The entertainment was then
turned over to a group from the
Special Service Office of the AAA
Training school at Camp Davis,
under direction of Major Amen
berg, with Jack Whalen as master
of ceremonies, assisted by Arnie
Sultan and Bill Cohen, Corporal
Janette Burns of the Wacs and
Jerry Biseglia. Sergeant Robert
Thorne was in charge of the pro-
gram. A four-piece band furnish
ed the cues and accompaniment
besides playing several numbers
on it's own account. There were
monologues, solos, group songs,
limitations, burlesques and riotous
railery in the best spirit, and when
the tables were finally slowed a
way, dancing until well after mid
night.
