@. I am receiving back all the mail I sent to my son in Europe since March. It is marked Return ing to United States-Left no for warding address," but I haven't re- ceived any word from him for over two months. E. c. s.
 A. While the Army is returning troops to this country as fast as pos- sible, troops and supplies going to Pacific Area have priority. Your son may well be en route to the U. S. but progress of his return is subject to interruption and delay at many places due to higher priority move ments. Two months en route is not an unusual length of time in certain instances. The soldier apparently failed to leave non-military for- warding address with his unit be- fore starting the return and his mail is being returned to sender.
 o. My brother has been reported killed in action June 10, but my sis ter-in-law received her Family AL lowance for this month. have been told that this means the boy is alive; is this SO? He has killed May 13, but we were not notified until the 10th of June.
 A. The receipt of the Family AL lowance is made through the month in which the report of death is re- ceived. The check your sister-in-law received this month (June) is pay ment for May and she is entitled to it; she will also receive check in July for the month of June as mo- tice of death was issued in that month and Family Allowance is pay able for the entire month. That will be the final check.
 o. I lost my son in Luzon. Will they send his personal belongings to me?
 A. The personal effects which are recovered and identified are re- turned to the next of kin through the Army Effects Bureau, Kansas City Quartermaster Depot, Kansas City, Missouri. However, because of necessary troop and supply move ments and unavoidable transporta- tion delays, the time of arrival is most uncertain.
 Q. My husband has been in the Air Corps for years and half. He has 100 points because we have two children. Will he be discharged if he applies for it? I've been told that the Air Corps requires no points; is this SO?
 A. The 85 points as of 12 May, 1945 is the point score for consider ation of discharge. Many men will not be discharged right away. how ever, due to difficulty in obtaining suitable replacements.

Good Evening.

 And evenings are & bit hot, One likes to dine
 In 8 fairly cool spot. Then is the time
 We aim for the sky, Or a favored nook
 Way way up high, Underneath the stars
 For a gastronomic treat, And hope to high heaven
 We'll get bit of meat.

Judge Continues Damage
Action On Ship Sinking

Continuation of evidence in the
case Of North Carolina State High
way Commission versus The Dia-
mond Steamship Transportation
Company, until this morning was
ordered by Judge Clawson E. Will
liams, presiding at the session of
Superior court yesterday.
The case is an action growing
out of the sinking of the cargo ship

down in the Cape Fear River be-
low the East Cape Fear bridge
causing damages in the amount of
$3.50 to pilings and docks, for which
the state seeks reimbursement.
The Severance" was carrying a
load Of $500 tons of sulphur to a

A SUBSTANTIAL proportion of
people on civil service lists are
white collar workers, although the
total also includes many manual
workers.
The general public has felt all
during the war that white collar
workers as a group benefited less
from the wartime economic boom
than any other major group, as the
following poll revealed last June.
"What class or group of people
in this country has done best
financially during the war COM
pared to what they made before
the WARP"
Labor, war workers,
other workers 20
Bus, execs., upper
class people ----------------l5
White collar workers ---3
Misc. or no partic. group III
''Do you think any class or group
of people in this country is not
making as much money as 1t
should -
A total of SO per cent replied in
the affirmative, and these people
were asked what group they had
in mind.
The vote follows:
White collar workers ------25%
Skilled and manual labor --13
Farmers
Bus. & prof. 9
Misc. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 5
$40
The total adds to more than SO
per cent because some voters
named more than one group.

nounced today. but three other Dis
trict battlers-Frankie Wills, Aaron

A newcomer on the l47-pound
ladder was Jimmy Mcdaniel, an
other local boy, who went to Cali
fornia to begin his pro career in
earnest and whose kayo of Perry at
Madison Square Garden last winter
was largely responsible for the lat
ter's omission from the rankings.
There were few changes in the
rankings, mostly minor, and ring
fans will be relieved to know that
Joe Louis still is regarded as the
leading heavyweight with Billy
Conn his top-ranking challenger.

tenders were listed as follows:

Bengal Star Proves
Arm Is Unimpaired
By 1914 Strain
BY JACK HAND,

1
Dizzy Trout's strong right arm
looms as important in the American
League scheme of things today as
it did last year when the talented
Detroit right won 81 games
in pennant bid that missed fire
by one game.
Critics who feared Trout might
have burned out" his salary whip
in 1914 by overwork, hurting 352
innings in 40 games, got the answer
in yesterdays seven-hit shutout of
the defending champion st. Louis
Browns.
The Dizzy one never was in trou-
BILE in the 1l-0 victory that ruined
St. Louis hopes of breaking away
from the field in another running
start like their nine straight of a
year ago.
Steve O,Neill's Bengals clawed
five Brownie tossers, including loser
Jack Kramer, for 81 blows, four by
Jimmy Outlaw and three each by
Skeeter Webb, Eddie Mayo and Doc
Cramer, who batted home six.
Like Yanks of Old.
Threat to St. Louis from another
quarter was seen in the New York
Yankees newly-found ability to
stage big winning innings.
The old Yank habit was sadly lack
ing last season but the 1945 version
copped their opener from Boston
with seven-run frame and made
it two in a row with hve-run third
inning that kayoed Rookie Jim
Wilson.
Hank Borowy turned in the lowest
hit performance of the day when he
rationed Boston to five safeties and
won, 60. It was an afternoon DOM
mated by fine pitching, with three
shutouts and two other neat jobs in
the six games.
Russ Christopher's 10 verdict
over Washington must have done
Connie Macks heart good. The tall
side-armer injured toe in spring
training at Frederick, Md, and was
believed out for few weeks, but he
turned in the masterpiece of the in
fan tseason by scattering seven Sen
ator blows over IL innings.
Heusser Blanks Pirates.
Ed Heusser of Cincinnati proved
there should have been no eyebrow
lifting when figures showed he had
the lowest earned-run average in
the National in 1914. The 36-year-
oldster goose-egged Pittsburgh, 60,
with Frank Mccormick driving in
half the score with a perfect three
for-three day.
kewpie Dick Barrett Of the Phil
lies followed last years pattern by
earning his first decision at Brook
lyn's expense, g. Freddy Fitzsim-
mons rockies belted Ben Chapman
off the hill with a flve-run fourth
inning. Granville Hammer. 17-year-
old younger half of the first brother
second-base combination, came
through with a loaded single
to ruin Leo Durocher's strategy of
passing Gus Mancuso to get at him.
Van (the New Mungo had to get
relief help. from Ace Adams, who
received credit for the New York
Giants 8-4 second straight victory
over the Boston Braves. Four in the
ninth broke a tie, defeating Nate
Andrews. Ernie Lombardi's single
accounted for two tailies in the
squirt.
The Chicago White Sox tilt at
Cleveland was postponed by cold
weather and Chicago and st. Louis
in the National were not scheduled.

LARCHMONT, N. Y, April 19.-
Edward G. Barrow, formerly presi-
dent of the Yankees, said today that
he again had refused the request
that his name be included among
those being considered for baseball
commissioner.
William Harridge of the American
League was in New York and talked
to me about it," Barrow explained
land I told him that I was too ole
and that my health would not per-
NIT it. Ten years ago I would have
jumped at the chance.
II have said before and I repeat
it again." Barrow added, that Ford
Frick, president of the National
League, would make a good COM
missioner if the owners decide on a
baseball man. Jim Farley is my
choice if a nonbaseball man is tc
be picked"
