INSURANCE GROUP

]. H. Hale, Mrs. M. E,
How ell Speakers At
Luncheon Meeting

Mrs. M. E. Howell, Home Service
secretary of the American Red
Cross and ]. H. Hale, interviewer
for the United States Employment
Service, we're guest speakers al
the monthly meeting of the Under.
writer's Association yesterday al
the St. Johns Tavern.
The meeting was in the form OF
a round table discussion, to help
in every way the problems OF the
returning veterans not only in re-
Mobilization but also the many
problems of benefits, to convert
army insurance back to civilian,
and pensions.
The purpose of the discussion
was to broaden the viewpoint OF
the insurance men with the advice
of Mr.. Hale and Mrs. Howell IN
order to meet the incoming ques'
tions of the veterans, which are
beginning to come in daily to the
insurance group.
Mr.. Hale, in addressing the as
sociation said, IT speak fol- the re-
turning veterans, as their inter-
viewer. the veterans receive en-
ployment advice in my office.
'To the veteran, the first thlng
he wants is a job, and hundreds
are coming to Wilmington to snop
for a Job every day. There are
two types of veterans; first, the
veteran who doesn't know what
kind of a job he wants; second
the veteran who has definite ideas
as to what kind of job he wants.
The boy who has definite plans ge's
the better job"
At this point, Mr.. Hale explained
to the club members, the Gl Bill
Of Rights, which entities the vet.
eran to an apprenticeship course OF
training. The length of the training
course depends on the period OF
time in the service. An example
used by Mr.. Hale was, "a veteran
who was in the service 1oui y0ei 2
is entitled to four years OF train
ing"
Mr.. Hale stated that so far many
Jobs have been found for the vet
eran and many are now receiving
special training.
Mrs. Howell told the insurance
men that she as a social worker
for the Red Cross, also assists the
veteran on his insurance problems:
my advice to the servicemen'
said Mrs. Howell, ''is not to con-
vert their insurance at once, but
to wait until they are more ad-
iusted to their new living condl-
tions, jobs, ETC."
Mrs. Howell explained the three
types of veteran insurance and ne
differences involved.

From Starvation On
Pacific Island

GUAM, Saturday, Sept. 8.-(P-
By-passed japanese on Wake
Island ate rats and birds and were
plagued by malnutrition, disease
and constant American air raids
as they paid dearly for the tiny
Pacific island they captured early
in the war.
The Navy today revealed condi-
tions found by Marines when they
reoccupied the island Aug. 5.
Thousands or rats had been trap
ped and killed, as had the birds,
Including feather-masked pirate
birds, love birds and wild canaries.
A single turnip was carefully
nurtured and shielded from the
strong, salt wind whipping over
the island. 1t served as a meal
for five Japanese sailors when
boiled.
An estimated 5000 japanese
died from starvation and in air
raids by U. S. Navy and Marine
fliers.
All but a few officers, of the L.
$50 found alive, were staving.
This number would have been halv-
ed in another month, the japanese
admitted.
IA few hundred Marines could
have sebdued Wake i ma few hours
anytime in the last two months.
even if we'd had the finest equip
ment and plenty of it, Japanese
lieutenant said. LESS than 300 Of
our men could have stood up
and fought more than half day."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-P)-
Congress talked today about an
average Is per cent cut in your
1916 income tax.
Senator George (D-Ga) plugged
for it. He's chairman of the Sem
ate Finance committee, which
handles all tax bills.
And there's backing in the House
for tax slash like that. Rep.
Knutson (R-Minn) wants a 20 per
cent reduction.
President Truman has recon-
mended slimited" cut. An 18
per cent cut would lower by around
s., ,000, ,000,0 900 the total income tax
taken from individuals.
George wants to slice another
$4,000, 100000 from taxes paid by
business. He didn't put that on a
percentage basis.
Taxes were the big noise in Con-
gress. But a couple of rows
ever payments to the unemployed
and full employment and full en-
ployment-gave sparkle to the
day.
Congress had no regular session.
It ambled along, arguing in COM
mittee rooms; talking in offices,
trying to get bills.
There won't be any Senate or
House session until Monday. Then
the House is going to vote for an
investigation of Pearl Harbor-al-
ready approved by the Senate.

0UISLlNG TRIAL
IN JURY'S HANDS

OSLO, Sept. T. @ -Vidkur
Quisling capped his two-day de-
tense Of his puppet dictatorship
today with the defiant statement
that, if his actions were treason
Norway needed more traitors like
him.
The case went to the seven
Judge panel trying him, but a YER
dict was not expected before Sept
IL.
After boasting that Hitler took
a deep liking for me and wanted
me for other tasks in Europe,
Qu:sling told the court:
'If my activity has been trea'
son-as the records of this case
charge-then in the name of God
I hope that for Norway's sake
many of her sons will become the
same kind of traitor as I >"
Throughout his defense Quisling
contended that patriotism dictated
his policies, arguing that he knew
Russia wanted Norway's Northern
provinces and that the Allies plan
ned to invade the, country. He
denied implication in any secret
plot to deliver his country to the
Nazis.
Speaking with fluency and pas
sion, the pale-faced defendant
said:
"Any charges that I gave Ger
many secret information are
fantas stic.'
Asserting the Germans "knew
more about our defenses than our
own officers" he said his meet
ings with Hitler and Adm. Erich
Raeder, German naval comman-
der, were perfectly innocent
With Hitler, he said, he talked
of peace-although he admitted
Hitler told him in their December.
1899, meeting that Germany would
invade Norway ruthlessly if the
Allies violated her neutrolity.
Daeder also warned him of alleged
Allied plans to invade Norway,
he said.
