MORTON FORECASTS
LARGE CONSTRUCTION
PROGRAM FOR AREA

Sharp increases in building con.
struction were forecast yesterday
by City Building Inspector Gil.
bert F. Morton, although local
construction\ slumped during Au-
gust to $4,000, as compared to
the record of $115, 453 in July.
Pointing out that plans are under
way for additional building in
Wilmington, Mr.. Morton en-
phasized that few plans had been
advanced beyond the discussion
stage.
He explained that much con-
struction is being temporarily held
N allegiance pending Qualification
Of this situation.
Though home building may be
delayed for a while longer, Mr.
Morton anticipated that CONNER
cial building in Wilmington would
be heavy this fall and winter.
The largest construction begun
mere during the past month was
the addition of another story to
the two buildings at 212 and PA
Princess street for which a per-
init was issued to ] @. LeGrand.
Next in line was the beginning
OF construction of 5000 ware
house by the Springer Coal COM
pany at 1910 Dawson street. The
contract was let to the Home

One-Man Chamber Nimitz Faces Task
Selling Guam As Haven For Tourists

Substituting for Kenneth L. Dixon.
GUAM lR-Admiral Nimitz hui
,morously calls himself the unoffi-
cial one-man Chamber of Com
merce for Guam but even he will
have a hard time selling the island
to American service men as a
postwar playground.
Guam admittedly is a pretty is
land, as islands 60. Green vegeta-
ton blankets its rolling terrain.
Looking north from Nimitz' hilltop
headquarters, the view is not I'M

Nimitz keeps a small bound

LETTER BOX
OUR BOYS BATTLE BOREDOM
To the Editor:

Over there, in the Pacific, our
boys are still fighting, but now the
enemy is an invisible one. Anx-
iety, uncertainty and boredom be-
set them. Like the old bear in the
zoo, they walk to and fro, and
when they get blue, reverse and
walk fro and to.
Letters from home are the best
remedy. A colonel in OkinaWa
writes his lady: IF you could see
the line up for mail and the faces
of those who get none, you would
understand the need" A major on
Midway writes his bride: please
write often. The need of letters is
greater now than in war time"
A bureau for letter writing and
letter writer to travel in each
county, would greatly stimulate
the flow of good news. In some
counties summary of local news
is printed each week, so as. to
keep the boys informed and ready
to fall IN step on return nome.
AS an emotional outlet, soldiers
and sailors, like tourists, resort to
shopping or treasure hunts, lured
on by the hope of finding some
rare jewel or valuable antique.
The post office has told folks at
home what to send or not to send
for overseas Christmas presents.
A reverse list for guidance of our
boys, would prevent much waste
and protect home folks from use
less or cumbersome gifts. Each
community could make its own
list.
Such a list would later serve as
a guide for restoring our much
needed foreign trade, and also
help protect our boys from bore
dom.

Mccarthy Post
To Ex-Tiger Pilot

NEW YORK, Nov. % Mickey
Cochrane, former manager of the De-
troit Tigers, will succeed Joe Nc
Carthy as pilot of the New York
Yankees, it was decided here today.
Black Mike" has been in conference
with Dan Topping, Del Webb and Larry
MacPhail since his arrival here yesterday.
Topping and Webb bought the Yankees from
the estate Of the late Jake Rupert last
spring.
The inside of Cochrane's joining the
Yankees probably stems from the fact that
he spent considerable time with Topping IN
the Pacific, where Mike was serving as a
lieutenant commander in the navy while
Topping served as a captain in the marines.
Cochrane as manager of the Tigers
from 1884 until August, 1888, brought the
club its first pennant since 1909 in "a and
its first world series title in 1885. He was
succeeded By Del Baker here in 1889
Mccarthy, whom Cochrane replaces, has
contract that goes through 1916 but some
adjustment is expected TO be made with the
man who won eight pennants and seven
world titles for the New York club Nc
Carthy, 58, was ailing at his home in Buffalo
most Of the early part Of the 1943 season.
COchrane became a manufacturers
agent after being let out by the Tigers. He
was released from the navy in September
this year after serving three years and eight
months, most of which was spent in the
south Pacific.
