industrial survey of Wilmington
called attention to the South's past
neglect of its opportunities and the
reawakening it has undergone in
the last six years, in an address
before the Kiwanis club on Wed

The survey has not gone far

board and himself that develop

mington's No. l industrial project.
In considering the port, however,
he noted, it must be considered
that Wilmington will be in com
petition not only with other south
Atlantic, but Gulf of Mexico ports
as we'll, which obviously means
that Wilmington must be prepared
to meet this competition on equal
or better terms.
Mr. Sirnons said industries do
not seek subsidies or tax exemp-

tons for their plants. Instead, as
he learned from one industriaGst,

HITLER REPORTED
SHORN OF POWER
fContinued from Page One)


dinlomatic correspondent has au-
thoritative formation that Hitler
already has been superseded by
Himnler, and that Hitler is "a
dying man."
Possibly indicative of a growing
anti-Hitlerism in the Reich, the
German radio commentator Felix
Schmidt-Becker tonight blasted at
"pseudo politicians, often sitting
in responsible posts" who "insinu-
ate it is perhaps better to take the
Fuehrer's picture off the walls be-
cause one never knows"
"These people," he said, "wheth-
err conscious or unconscious
traitors, should be threatened with
the gallows. They are often pro-
motors of doubt in innocent Ger
man souls"
Regardless of whether the
reports of Hitler's last days are
premature, the spectacular adj
vances of General Eisenhower's
armies toward a inkup with the
Russians left no doubt that the
Third Reich is collapsing, and that
if Himmler actually is taking over
from Hitler, he is becoming the
head of a state which virtually
has ceased to exist.
1t is expected here that V-day
in Europe will be declared once
Eisenhower's forces have linked
with the Russians, and the Rus
sian and American high commands
have decided that organized re-
sistance on both the Eastern and
Western Fronts has been liquidat-
ed.

FURNITURE FIRM
NOTES BIRTHDAY

Announcement Of three-daJ
celebration of the 10Th anniversary
today, Friday and Saturday by the
Todd Furniture Co., ri South
Front street, was made Tuesday
by Leon Todd, owner.
I'VE are inviting and expecting
the greatest crowds ever to at
tend a similar celebration here.
Mr.. Todd said.
Much preparation for the occa-
sion and future service to the
trade has been made, such as a
complete redecoration and rear
rangement of the departments, the
addition of many new features.
The first floor layout has been
entirely streamlined and display
ed for a pleasing unit effect.
Achievement Of this harmony
through grouping is noticeable as
one enters the store. Displays OF
colorful summer furniture for city
or beach homes in the center area
illustrates timeliness and variety.
Exhibits of pieces upholstered in
brocatel, frieze, linen and tapes
tries occupy a large section of this
floor. An example Of groups and
combinations is the bright floral
chintz love seat fireplace group.
Enhancing the soft pastel walls
is the large collection of pictures
including imported copies Of hand
tinted, and steel engravings OF
famous artists.
The rear of the main floor is
given to offices, and a new de-
partment devoted exclusively to
home appliances.
A unique pyramid type rug dis
play case has been built on the
second floor. The customer can
see each piece and select floor
plan carpeting to exact size.
Of special interest is the triple
bedroom plan where three differ
ent styles of furniture in complete
ensemble is shown in separate
units.
A mattress and pillow display
case with floodlighting arrange
ment is an additional touch to the
new store arrangement.
The galleries which occupy a
third of the second floor contain
fine quality bedroom and dining
room suites by Drexel 1t is in
this department that the finest
woods are exhibited.
An added feature of the stores
third floor is the housefurnishings
department, embracing a variation
bumper pads to large % rack
linoleum display. This entire floor
features modern living room, bed
room, breakfast room, and Juve-
nile furniture departments.
Mr.. Todd emphasizes the months
of planning and travelling to Chi
cago, Grand Rapids, High Post
and other furniture centers and the
cooperation of manufacturers to
get this store set for its 10th ami
versary. 1.-THE able direction OF
Beverley T. Payne, salesmanager
and interior decorator, has enabled
us to present not the only prettiest
but the largest furniture store in
Eastern North Carolina Mr..
Todd stated. "Mr. Payne, for
mer furniture manufacturer, has
been of invaluable help" he said.
''Despite wartime difficulties
many quality furniture makers
have not only assisted us in our
efforts, but are sending top execu-
tives to our opening. We are graf
flied at this gesture and with this
finer store we look forward to
greater privilege of serving this
section now and after the war"

Commercial AirIines
Able 10 Blanket Globe
Gen. George Declares

Commercial airlines of the United
States, in competition with one
another, can dominate worldwide
air transportation, according to 1t.
Gen. Harold L. George, chief of
the Air Transport Command.
Speaking yesterday before
luncheon meeting of the National
Press Club, Gen. George said that
only a lack of intelligent Govern
mert leaderShip-failing to secure
Authority for American airlines to
blanket the globe or meddling fur
ther than the extent necessary to
prevent "cut-throat competition
could keep the dreams of air-mind-
ed and world minded Americans
from coming true.
Henry Ford made America a
Nation of domestic nomads," the
general told his audience. gath
cred to honor the successful COM
pletion of the Globester's recent
flight. TN the same way 7 know
that air transport will make Amer
lea Nation of international tray
elers."
Against the background of cur
rent transport accomplishments the
Colchester flight was actually rou-
tine, Gen. George added.
Reviewing ATC's record since
it's inception in March, 1912, Gen
George said $4,000 miles of air
ways, complete with bases and
weather stations, have been estab-
lished to all theaters of war. ATC
has moved $4,000 planes from fac
tories in this country to bases
abroad, and 100000 planes within
the United States. 1t has moved
2,298,000 persons and 100000 tons
of high priority freight. In May
alone the organization carried 420,-
100000 letters to and from service
men overseas.
ATC is now being progressively
demobilized, Gen. George said, but
he urged that some staff be main-
tanned to provide a technical nu-
cleus for the organization in the
event of future war.
