LEADS ASSAULT

An assault by American Infan-
try on Japanese fortified hill po-
sitions on Cebu was spearheaded
by Private First Class Marion A.
Woodbury., of 1920 Ann St., Will
mington, and seven other combat
engineer soldiers.
The Engineers, while advancing
in front of tanks and followed by
the Infantry, cleared road of
mines and other obstacles in the
face of concentrated enemy ma
chinegun and rifle fire. Moving
1900 yards uphill towards the Jap
hold ridge, the Yanks were pinned
down frequently and had to call on
the tanks to silence the strong
points. They had a close call when
a trapped Nip burst out of a cave
and ran towards them with a hand
grenade in each hand. Two Of the
Infantry soldiers were wounded by
the fanatical Jap before he could
be killed.
In civilian life a craftsman,
woodbury. serves as utility repair
man with the Engineers. He has
been overseas for 10 months and
saw action on Bougainville prior
to the Philippines campaign. In
addition to his two battle stars,
he is entitled to wear the Asiatic
Pacific Campaign Ribbon and the
Philippine Liberation Ribbon.

CHURCHILL WALKS
ON GERMAN SOIL
Continued from Page One)

Gen. William Simpson, Ninth Ar
nv Commander, how Juelich was
captured.
Simpson had trouble convincing
Churchill that it would be unsafe
for him to visit the banks of the
Rhine itself at Dusseldorf.
'If they are shooting, you can
put me in a tank and III be. all
right" the Prime Minister urged.
But Simpson was adamant in his
refusal to risk the life of Britains
No. l statesman.
The tour included inspection OF
the Siegfried Line defense install
lations in the Aachen area and
the points from which the Ninth
Army jumped off across the Roer
river in its great offensive.
At the Roer, the Prime Minister
left the car and walked across the
military bridge American engin-
eers had thrown up, listening as ne
walked to an account by Simpson
and Montgomery on the February
% attack.
When he reached the British-Ca-
madam sector, his progress was
slowed considerably by throngs of
soldiers who lined the roads shout
ing, How are we doing?" and
lover the Rhine next"
Seated beside Montgomery in the
staff car, Churchill beamed and
nodded in response and gave the
'V'' sign again and again.
When his party stopped south of
Goch, where the Prime Minister
got another view of the devasta-
ton visited on German towns in
the path of Allied advance, he Ell
tered a gun-pit, wrote ito Hitler
PERSONAL on shell with chalk and
fired it at the Rhine ferry crossing
at Xanten, miles away.
He grinned as the 36O-pound shell
roared from the 240-mm. howitzer.
I'm not responsible if it doesn't
get Hitler,'' he joked. THE artil-
lery boys set the sights. I just shot
it Off"
To the correspondents who trail
ed him through his tour, Churchill
said:
Il am deeply impressed with
the brave fighting of our boys, es-
pecially as I see what they fought
through. The enemy had a tremen-
dous defense advantage in the
Reichwald."
And he gazed about him at the
formidable forest, the mire Of the
roads and the mud and water O.
the fields.

LEGISLATURE GETS
LAST LOCAL BILLS

The main measure of local i'm
port still to be presented to the
waning State legislature by Rep. J.
@. LeGrand is the North Carolina
Ports Authority bill, framed by the
State Planning Board and forward
ed to Mr.. LeGrand yesterday by
Wilmington Port Commission Of
ficials for introduction on the floor
of the House of Representatives.
Five other bills were introduced
yesterday by Mr.. LeGrand They
related to the adjustment Of GER
tain county salaries and of City
police and firemen's pensions, to
the disposition of automobiles
seized by beverage-control officers
and to the regulations governing
chattel-mortgages.
The Ports Authority Bill was re-
viewed last Friday by City and
County officials and Port Commits
sion members, who decided to en-
dorse it for passage by the legisla-
ture despite the fact that it carried
no provision for operating funds.
Since it embodies the findings of
State Planning Board members
who came to Wilmington to survey
port conditions at Governor R..
Gregg Cherry's suggestion, copies
of the bill were sent to the COVER
nor and to Felix A. Grisette, man.
aging director of the planning
board, as well as to Pat Taylor,
legislature liaison man.
Yesterdays submittals to the
House by Mr.. LeGrand included a
bill to ratify overpayments made
to elective officials of New Han
over county during 1914.
Also introduced was an amend
ment to the police pension act
which makes the act conform with
the firemen's pension act, giving
the police officers, on retirement,
one 1alf of their salaries, after 20
years service, and an increase Of
one dollar per month for each
years service thereafter. 1t also
carries a provision that any police
officer who has served more than
Is years may retire on his own
volition. This also applies to po-
1icewomen.
A companion bill amends the
firemen's pension act so that in
stead Of a fireman receiving five
dollars per month for each five
years service after 20 years, he
will receive one dollar per month
for each years service in excess
of 20.
Rep. LeGrand submitted ar
amendment to the General Statues
prohibiting any highway patrol
man, sheriff, policeman or other
officer OF the law from turning
over to Federal officer any con
fiscated automobile that would II
any way defeat the General Stat
ues requiring that all vehicle:
seized for transportation Of intoxi
eating beverages should be sole
under condemnation proceeding:
by the state court. 1t carries :
penalty of not less than 5000 o.
