ut is difficult for me to find
words to express my great pride
over the magnificent achievement
of the people of Wilmington and
its suburbs in today's election on
extension Of the city limits. Their
verdict is a good one, as we had
every right to expect from such
good citizens. It offers assurance
that our community will now 60
forward as never before.
In behalf OF the City Council
of Wilmington I wish to welcome
the more than 1000 new citizens
into Greater Wilmington. 1t will
be the ambition of the city gov
eminent to serve them faithfully
and to demonstrate by our actions
both before and after the effective
date of extension of the limits that
we shall not be swerved from our
purpose to render the services and
install the facilities promised to
the added areas.
This. has been a great day for
Wilmington. Especially my graft
tude, and I am sure the gratitude
of the entire city government and
our whole people, goes out to the
members of the Citizens Commit
tee for City Limits extension which
under the leadership of former
Mayor Hargrove Bellamy and with
the assistance Of many other citi-
zens and organizations has done
such a fine job of presenting the
extension issue to the people. The
answer Of the people is a vote Of
confidence in the statements made
by this committee.
Perhaps above all, we have had
today convincing demonstration
that, given a spirit of unity and
determination, there is nothing our
community cannot accomplish. /

Chairman George D-Ga) said
the measure would be called up in
the Senate perhaps later this week.
The House has approved bill Of

The Senate bill would permit

instead of the present five after
the official end of the war to apply
for loans. The maximum term
OF loans to buy homes would be in.
creased from 20 years to Is, farm
loans to 40 years.
The bill would increase school
living allowances of single veter

would receive 800 instead Of SIS
The limit Of $500 per school yea,
on tuition charges to be paid by

The annexatio. :, suburbs not only sends the

There be for bitterness. There must be a
united people whose whole effort shall be dedicated to
the good of the community that it may come to rank
with the most progressive most prosperous most sub

wrought better than it knew. Working necessarily its

Pesslmists expect the lid to blow
at any moment, and there was
evidence today that American mill
tary leaders also are increasingly
concerned about the possibility of
about civil war. 1t. Gen. Albert
Z. Wedemeyer, returning from
washington to his China command,
flew to Peiping first, to confer di-
rectly with his field commanders
in the North China trouble zones.
He repeatedly was informing
them of official War Department
policy: That American forces will
take no active role in China's inter-
nal strife.
Dispatches from Peiping today
said there still was no confirma-

claims that American Marines had
driven the Reds from the summer

]. S. Pittman, Veterans
Administrator Speaks
On CT Measure

Speaking to Rotarians at their
regular meeting yesterday, j. s..
Pittman, Veterans Administrato-
in Fayetteville, told the club that
returning servicemen were a
community as well as Federal
responsibility and that it would
be mistake to treat the two ap-
proaches to -eabsorption of the
veteran into the community
economy as separate problems.
Mr.. Pittman said that the Pub
lie Law No. 346. the &c. l. Bill OF
Rights" was not the entire Fed
eral program for the veteran by
any means but that the field was
too vast to cover and that he felt
that a more practicable explana'
ton of just a small part OF the
legislation could be made.
He said that the bill had been
deliberately designed to get away
from complete cont-ol of the vet
eran problem by the Federal gov
eminent so that citizens who
wished to perform service to the
community and the nation can do
so.
In the educational section of the
law, he pointed out that many
businesses and plants have train.
ing schools for employees and ont
way in which civilians could help
is by registering the school with
the state and secure approval OF
it for training of veterans. The
bill provides that such schools,
once approved, could be selected
by veterans for the free training
offered under the bill. ri.
ANY veteran with so days serv-
ice or more and an honorable
discharge is eligible to receive
one year of education with tuition,
books and supplies paid for and
