CHAMBER BACKS
VETS HOSPITAL

The Wilmington Chamber OF COM
merce has endorsed Greensboro S
application for a veterans hos
pital. it was announced yesterday
by Walter J. Cartier, secretary.
Cartier said that he understood
there were two or three othe- COM
munities in the State asking for
the award.
Luther Raney, president Of the
Chamber of Commerce, said that
he felt the Greensboro application
should be endorsed because the
greater circle of friends Whining
ton can gain now among the States
cities, the better will be the pros
pect of support for Wilmington S
port development program, and the
filling of ships with cargoes when
the war is over.
In endorsing Greensboro, the
Chamber of Commerc sent the fol-
lowing telegram to General Frank
It. Hines, administrator of the Unit
ed States Veterans Administration
in Washington, D. c.:
"Our members and officers
heartedly endorse City of Green's
boro's proposed site of new vet
Grams hospital. While we on coast
would appreciate much facility, we
recognize superior location and de-
lightful climate offered by Green's
boro.
BE believe Greensboro has best
offering in our state or area. There
accessibility to air, bus, auto and
rail transportation should make
hospital that point, of strategic
value to veterans" Signed, Evil
