Indifferent their level of performance poor their Sunday
church appearance inappropriate and reveren and their
race advertisement entirely derogatory also have heard
some quite bad
But Sunday night listened to quartet program way
out in the country which folk came ten miles to hear
The church crowded 1t the event of the week to
them The singing wasn't quite up to Harry Burlelgh But
the harmony good enough to please the audience the
boys sang sprtuas and gospels and they sang them with
rhythm ervor that brought response from the hearers
The leader and master of ceremonies said to the listeners
as he introduced the program We know that not
perfect but figure that if bring one young person
into the church tonight who would otherwise be outside and
in mischief, we have done good"
There you area spokesman from each side. Tell us

lar push. The Doughboys were met
by intense small arms fire. After
daylight, the Japanese counterat-
tackled, trying to drive the Yanks
back out of Tara. But the assault
was repulsed and Bruce's infan-
try pushed on south from the vii
lage toward Shuri.
Nimitz's communique did not
state how close this put the for
ward elements to that keystone OF
the southern line.
The suicidal assault in the Fifth
Regiment sector of Maj. Gen.
Pedro A. Del Wales First Marine
Division was made by three sep
arate groups of Japanese carrying
satchel demolition charges tied
around their waists.
Their attack was intended to blow
up Leatherneck tanks. The infiltra-
tons were stopped, with no dam.
age reported to the tanks.
This assault was made against
Marines entrenched on the east
ridge overlooking Shuri from the
northwest The tanks presumably
was stationed in the line for use
as point blank artillery weapons.

merce, said sit is, think, one OF
the finest things that's happened
in a long time. We've been under
a great disadvantage in the south,
having to compete with the indus
trial areas having a more favor
able rate. OF course, having a port
made it even worse. I believe we
can look to a decided increase In
our imports and exports"
Mr.. HERS pointed out that "a
lowering of the class rates WITHIN
the south, and between the south
and eastern territory will give
southern shippers an. opportunity
to compete in markets in which
they have heretofore been restrict
ed or barred from, due to freight
rate disadvantages.
1.-The decreases ordered into eff
feet will be uniformly applicable
to and from all points in the south,
which will. of course, include the
ports, giving Wilmington the same
advantages which
accrue to other southern points"
