various theories concerning Hit.
Ter.
Obviously they do not accept the
Russian statements that he is still
alive. If they had, he would have
been No. l on the list for trial in
Nuremberg. Martin Bormann was
placed on that list although, he is
not yet in custody.
Nor do they accept the stories
of those close to Hitler, and the
version of the German radio be-
fore surrender, that Hitler perish
ed during the last blazing days OF
Berlin-stories sufficiently credi-
BILE to impress Gen. Dwight D
Eisenhower and former Prime
Minister Winston Churchill.
The latest German version came
today from a former volksturmer
in Berlin who said the Nazi troops
believe Hitler was killed by a
Russian shell, that his body was
carried from Berlin in a tank and
that he now is buried in an I'M
known spot far from the capital.
Perhaps the most widely circu-
lated report is that Hitler and Eva
Braun, married only few hours,
took their own lives in a bunker
near the chancellory building and
that Their bodies were burned with
gasoline on the fuehrer's orders
The attitude of the war crimes
prosecutors is cit is too important
to guess at. If Hitler is dead we
must know, if alive he must be
found. We will wait and see."

Victory Salvage Drive

The Senior Fraternity of the Brigade Boys
Club is to conduct one-day Victory Salvage
campaign On Sunday, October IA. On this day
the members will be abroad to collect waste
paper, rags and tin. Home jewellers are urged
to start boarding these materials at once, that
the totals gathered may materially swell Will
mington's contributions to the nations stock
piles
Wilmington has done we'll in previous waste
paper drives, particularly those conducted by
the Junior Chamber of Commerce. If every
body starts now to save paper, the forthcom-
ing collection will be up to or even surpass
the average.
The city has not previously made an effort
to gather rags. Cellars and attics must con-
tain tons of them. All not actually needed for
busting ought to be Lundled and placed at the
curb along with paper for the Fraternity
members.
As for tin, Wilmington has shirked its re-
spoons. bihty throughout the whole war period.
Several attempts have been made but all have
fzzled out with the total collected negligible.
This time the city will have a chance to re-
deem itself. Save every tin can from today
forward.
With so many of the food articles packed
in tincans now point free and store shelves
fairly well stocked again, there ought to be
plenty at the curb in the more than a month
before collection day. Be sure to cut off top
and bottom and crush the can before pack
aging
There is some reason to think that this
Victory Salvage collection will be the last.
There is no positive word to that effect, but
the general belief is that salvage drives will
not longer be needed. This is all the more
reason that the October IA collection should
be a record one.
1t is up to you to make it that.

Search Continues On The
Chance Fuehrer Is
Still Alive
By EDWARD ". ROBERTS
limited Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Sept. 8.-W.H)-A man
hunt that ranges from Berlin to
Madrid. from Tokyo to Buenos
Aires, is underway today on the
chance that Adolf Hitler is still
alive.
The actual fate of the fuehrer is
the wars biggest mystery and the
Allies, not daring to gamble on
such an issue, are tracking down
every clue, investigating every
rnmor lest the story that Hitler
took his own life beneath Berlin
Reichschancellory prove to be his
tory's greatest and most tragic
hoax.
In Germany, security officers OF
the four occupying powers have
organized door-to-door search in
the cities, villages and farmlands.
They are screening the prisoner OF
war cages and looking among the
millions of men of the broken
wehrmacht, where i" disguised
Hitler might be hiding among his
beaten legiens.
They are checking every report,
no matter how fantastic. One story
has it that Hitler escaped to ia
pan by submarine; another that
he is in Argentina; a third that
he is hiding in Sweden. The latest
rumors are that he is on board
yacht in the estuary of the Elbe
river or living in luxury at a long
prepared lodge in the Bavarian

LETTER BOX
ONE-WAY ON FRONT ST.

" tA4C G01GOI
I have been living and working
in Wilmington for the past two
years, and within that time have
become acquainted with, and as
ISOLATED with some fine citizens.
My husband and I have enjoyed
every minute of our stay in Will
mington, and we are seriously
thinking about making Wilmington
our home. It is a very progress
sive-minded town. Like ourselves,
many other people are thinking
about settling here, and many
have already done so.
With this increased population
it has made Front Street quite
congested, especially during work.
ing hours. Then, too, with the in
crease in the production of auto
Front Street will be even
more congested.
l have often wondered why
Front Street was not made a one
way street, say perhaps running
south, and Second or Third Street
made one-way street running
north. -
This would mean lot to the
community I am sure. The bus
service would be faster and safer,
1t would be safer for pedestrians
to cross the streets, and the con-
gestion would be just cut in half.
1t the cars were compelled to
go along Second or Third street
one-way, more shops would open
up along that one-way street, and
business establishments on that
one-way street would do an equal.

Island Bases

The Navy, which has gained lntlmate knoWl-
edge of the general situation in both the At
lantic and the Pacific throughout the war,
mostly the hard way, has proposed that the
United States keep fifteen bases, nine in the
Pacific and SIX in the Atlantic, for the per-
petual guarding of our shores from another
Pearl Harbor.
If the atomic bomb should not be outlawed,
island outposts would be OF little value. They
could be wiped out, one per bomb, by any
foe, sent to the target by radio-controlled
rocketpropelled plane, and that would be the
end of our outer defenses. Also by the same
weapon, our home cities could be eradicated
and our POPULATION exterminated, unless, of
course, we got in the first bombs and killed
off the enemy before he could so much as
point his bomb-carriers.
But should the atomic bomb be forbidden
and its be made impracticable because
all nations would lay by a store of them for
emergencies, the bases proposed by the Navy
would undoubtedly serve a good purpose, but
only if they were amply armed and manned
and perpetually alerted
In the Pacific the proposal is to establish
bases on:
ID Kodiak, east Of Alaska peninsula.
(2) Adak, in the Aleutians.
(3) Hawaii.
az Balboa, Canal Zone
(5 Guam, Saipan and Tinian (consid-
cred as one base).
CO. Two Island in the BONN and Volcano
groups
CD Okinawa, in the Ryukyus.
90 N1anus, in the Admiralties
(9) The Philippines.
The six H. the Atlantic would be at
% Argentia, Newfoundland.
CD Bermuda
60 Roosevelt roads in Puerto Rico.
~ San Juan, Puerto Rico.
(5) Guantanamo Bay Cuba.
60 Coco Solo, Canal Zone.
How Russia and Britain would view the
proposition is not clear, but we can well
ina CINE both London and Moscow would raise
row.
Russia is deeply concerned over the north
ern stretches of the Pacific. Any bases the
surely be equalled by the Russians on land
under their control
Britain would have an excellent chance to
settle her reverse Lend-Lease obligations by
| turning over Burmuda and other islands, an
Empire amputation, however, she would SUBJ
NIT to only under anaesthetic. There probably
would not be serious objection by Cuba to a
United States base at Guam tanamo. The Gu
bans would make too much money out of
American visitors to kick over the traces.
But, supposing we finally acquired bases in
all fifteen locations, they would be of small
worth if, through the protests of other govern
ments, such as were made against our ade-
quately fortifying either Guam or Wake, we
maintained merely token Stats and built min
or defenses, and left them to be seized as
these two islands were by tn japanese at
the cost of precious American lives.
Any outer defenses designed to protect Our
shores from enemy attack would be useless
unless they were made as strong as human
skill could devise.
