To Be Presented To Armed Guards

For the past two and a half
years, the USO Clubs of Whining
ton have been providing boxes fill
ed with religious and recreational
articles to meet the needs of the
men of the Armed Guard Crews
who leave Wilmington on ships
which are built by the NorthCaro-
lima Shipbuild ng Co.
Many letters Of gratitude have
come from the men who nave re-
ceived these boxes, which prove to
US the this is a most, worthwhile
and worthy activity.
The members of the Armed
Guard Crews spend long hours at
sea and find the playing cards,
games, victrola records very de-
sirable as this is their only means
Of recreation.
Organizations Of Wilmington

the USO Clubs of the area, Miss
Marsolais, chairman of the activity
and staff member of the Second
and Orange USO Club stated.
Many local organizations have
been supplying the necessary arti-
Giles for the boxes. Several mem
bers of the Kiwanis Club have re-
sponded to an appeal and USO is
most grateful for the materials
which they supplied.
The Nehi Bottling Co. and the
Coco Cola Bottling Works of Will,
mington also have provided decks
of cards. and games to be put
in these boxes. The Officers Wive:
Club of Wilmington have donated
games, books, cards and victrola
records and are continuing te
make collections of similar arti
cles. The Exchange Club of Will
mington donated the cost of one
complete box for the Armed Guaro
Crews.
Many volunteers from the 5tf

TRUMAN TO SEEK
ATOMIC CONTROL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Up)-
President Truman will send to
congress next month special
message proposing permanent
government control over all phases
of atomic energy development, it
was reveald today.
Chairman Ebert Thomas, D.,
Utah, OF the Senate Military At
fairs committee, said the measure
was now being prepared by the
War department and that he prob
ably would introduce it after the
president message was received.
Thomas declined to disclose spe
cific details of the bill, but add
ed:
"Whatever course the law takes
you may be sure of one thing. The
discovery of the secret of releas-
ing atomic energy was made with
the money OF the American peo-
pie, it belongs to all the Ameri.
can people, and it must be Used
for the benefit Of all the Ameri-
can people. -
Thomas said that the War de-
partment bill, which congress is
expected to pass without major
modification, Will cover both wal
and peacetime uses of the devas
tating force which precipitated ia
pans surrender.
1t will establish a national con
troll body-Thomas objected to the
word commission" - including
representatives of the State, Wal
and Navy departments, civilian
scientists, other technical person
mel, and representatives of Other
interested civilian agencies.
The control body is expected tt
seek acquisition of all patents fol
the production of atomic energy
which are not already in the hands
of government.
Thomas said that sharing OF the
atomic secret with other nations
may come later scientists est
mate that other nations will devel
% the secret for themselves with
in five years)-but that the neces
sity now is to establish a nationa.
policy to control it.

BEVIN TAKES POT
AT SOVIET PLANS

LONDON, Aug. 2.-(P)-For.
eign Secretary Ernest Bevin told
Commons today that the govern.

Hungary-all in the Soviet sphere
do not represent the majority
Of the people"
He expressed conviction that the
crown colony of Hong Kong on
China's coast would revert to
Great Britain, although he foresaw
possible difficulties.
He said the new labor govern
nfent would welcome change IN
the Spanish regime OF General
issimo Franco but would take no
steps to promote or encourage
civil war in that country
Bevin called on all Poles, mill
tary and civilian, to return to their
country and said Generalissimo
Stain had assured him Russian
troops would be Withdrawn f m
Poland, except "a small number
required to maintain commu-
nications necessary for Soviet
troops in Germany"
A peace treaty for Italy will be
discussed soon by the conference
of foreign ministers of the Big
Five powers, Bevin said, express
ing hope that the treaty should
be made on fair terms" rather
He said the United States, Great
Britain and France had under
taken to assist in supervision OF
an election in Greece.
In the first full dress debate OF
the new government of Prime
Minister Clement Attlee, Bevin de-
clared Europe was "a happy hunt
ing ground for men seeking poll
teal power and warned sternly
that the substitution "of one form
of totalitarianism for another
must be prevented.
His remarks about the Balkans
came early in his far-reaching re-
view.
THE governments set up in Bull
garia. Romano and Hungary do
not represent the views OF the ma
jority of the people" Bevin as
serted.
