 Rep. Vukovich backed up the two antis with relating how he came from a country where men not only fought the wars but his family made his uniforms and am intuition. His opinion was that the World War II vets were mot in the war for what they could get out of it."
 Counter attackers were lead by Rep. Taylor and Speaker Lander Taylor. referring to Peterson's ac- cusation of flag waving said he, un- like Peterson, would like to greet the boys with little more than waving the flag in front of their faces and saying Boys. you've done your duty He said he would like to lay a check down in front of them to tide them over the peri cd of re-adjustment he knew from two years at the front in the last war. they would have to go through. Lander also a frOnt-line veteran in World War l made an eloquent talk, stepping down from the speakers chair to do so. He asked the assembled body if they knew the sensation of actually fac ing enemy gun fire You cant know the feeling if you've never been there" he said. seeing your buddies drop around you. But what really sears your mind is to be dug in and have enemy planes come over and bomb and strafe you in your foxhole. The utter helpless feeling you have in not being able to fight back" He spoke of his own experience in going through mental and physical re-adjustment on return.
 Rep. Hanford, who served two years in the war in the Philippines, also spoke vigorously for the bonus and Rep. Krause pointed out that returning vets could not eat a chest full of medals Rep. Huntley, in answer to questions of the opposl- tion of where the money was com ing from, reminded his colleagues that a million and a half didn't look like much when the Japs were on Attu and Kiska" Noticeable was the fact that most vigorous support came from former war vets who had served in actual combat in the last war. Booby-trap was set off by HanfOrd when he accused Vukovich of having fought the battle of Fort Seward" in the last war. V Il kovich was on his feet trembling with rage. 'I was a sol dier,' he cried, "and I served where they sent me. You owe me an ape logy." Battle finally came to an end with eight voting against the bon us, Gill Hopes, Linck, Peterson, Porter, Shattuck, Vukoyich and Walsh and sixteen for: Anderson, Badger, Cain, Cross, Diamond, Han ford, Jennings, Hope, Huntley, Johnson, Krause, McCutcheon, Pe- ratrovich, Pollard, Taylor and Lan- der.

he would be welcomed at his
old post here.
Major Boyd, who has for the
past several years been de-
tailed by the Army for trans
portat.on and ordnance work
in their depot at Louisville,
KY, indicated in a recent let
ter to the Port Traffic asso-
citation his desire to resume
his former position with them

Army ends.
Inasmuch as he will be plac-

On July 81, it appears likely
that his services will be avail
able by the association in the
near future.
The work of the Port-Traffic
association since it's inception
in 1881, has been to keep Will
mington on an equal COMPETE

ports in the movement of COM

MCMILLAN RULES
ON LAW POINTS

RALEIGH, N. c., July Is - (R -
Attorney General Harry Mcmillan
in digest of OPP Mons released to.
day held that marriage contract
ed by a person who has living
spouse from whom he has not been
divorced is void in North Caro-
lima and can not be recognized.
Legally it is not necessary that
void marriage be so declared
by court before the parties there
to may marry second time" the
Attorney General said. However.
a suit to declare such a marriage
void will be entertained by the
courts of the state.''
In other opinions, Mcmillan
held:
In the absence of a public-local
act, municipality has no author
ity to make contributions toward
the erection of a permanent me-
mortal to persons serving in World
War two.
There is no requirement IN the
North Carolina statutes that an
applicant for license to practice
medicine must be a citizen of this
state.
The dismissal of a warrant in a
criminal case once the warrant has
been sworn out is within the sound
discretion of the Justice of the
Peace and no criminal case should
be dismissed merely because the
person who sWore out the warrant
requests that the prosecution be
discontinued and the warrant with
drawn. Manifestly, it would he
wrong to permit prosecuting wit
ness to use the criminal docket as
a means of collecting debt.
Since holding the position of
town attorney does not constitute
the holding of an office, one per
son may at the same time be town
attorney and Judge of Recorder S
Court without violating the pros
criptive provisions of the North
Carolina Constitution relating tc
double office holding.
Municipal corporations are auth
orized by statute to fix the age
which minors may be allowed tt
play in or frequent pool rooms. The
general law makes it unlawful for
the keeper of a pool room to per
NIT any minor to enter or remain
them where the keeper has beer
notified by the parents of such MI
nor not to allow him to enter or re
main therein.
The position of chief of police O.
a municipal corporation is an OF
flee and person who has been con
victed of a felony is not eligible tt
/ hold such office unless his citizen
ship has been restored in the man
ner prescribed by law. Once hi
citizenship is restored in how
ever, such person is eligible to hole
office as a person who has neve
been convicted of a crime.
The personal property exemption

EDITORIAL COMMENT
WAR CRIMINALS

One phase of President Truman's address to
Congress provided mild shock for some
Americans.
The President emphasized that no war Grim
inal can hope to escape punishment None, he
said will be permitted to plot future wars IN
any mountain retreat such as Berchtesgaden.
The shock came with the implication that
anyone anywhere among the United Nations
could be considering the possibility that Adolf
Hitler or any other German or Germans might
be left unmolested in any retreat-ln Berch'
tesgaden, Switzerland or for that matter, Ar.
gentina.
The principle of political asylum has been
pretty well established, but most Americans
will hope that their Government and our AL.
lies will REQUIRE an exception in the case of this
war and exert combined force, if necessary,
to root out of any hideout or compel the sur.
render of from any country OF refuge, the
criminals of World War II. = Durham Sun.

Suicide Bombers

Recognizing that defeat is inevitable, Japan
has turned its attention to the only possible
means left for prolonging the war in the Pa
cific As the Allies must fight far from nome
bases and sources of supply, and require al
most unlimited shipping for transporting ma
terial and men to battle sectors, Japan has
started the manufacture of suicide bombers
to prey on Allied ships.
Thus far the operations Of these bombers
has not met with much success. Allied gun
merry is too accurate for them to come near
enough to drop their bombs at funnel level,
with the result that. the bombers are more
often than not destroyed with their crews.
Bait the fact that the japanese are resorting
to this kind of warfare means that as long
as suicide bombers are aloft Allied shipping
will face the gravest danger. It becomes more
and more apparent that the Allied effort in the
Orient will be increased against japanese pro-
auction.

Deserve Promotion

The nomination Of Lieutenant Generals Pat.
ton and Hodges to be full generals represents
well earned and richly deserved promotions.
Both have displayed extraordinary talent
as military leaders. Hodges First Army and
Patton's Third have performed wonders since
D-day in Normandy, and before. Both have
brought victory in Germany nearer.
Believing as both Lee and Grant did in the
War Beteen the States, that the purpose Of
war is to fight and win battles, they have tack
led the enemy at every opportunity and out
fought, outgeneraled, outmaneuvered him. II
the German armed forces are now too weak to
impose effective opposition, it is due in large
measure to their leadership in combat. They
ought to display the four stars Of generals.

Time Is Necessary

Quick to see chance for additional profits,
there is proposal in hollywood to make a
moving picture of the late President Roose-
velt's lfe before the nations tears for his
death are dried.
There would be big gate, of course but
nothing else can be said for the project.
The picture of Roosevelt's life is too deeply
impressed upon the composite American mind
to require reproduction upon the silver screen.
Furthermore, in keeping with the current pre-
disposition to overlook his faults, it would be
4 picturized eulogy.
Only his achievements would be shown, and
vast as they were, no attempt to tell the story
of his life in pictures could be true if only his
fine attributes are revealed.
The fact is, no estimate Of Roosevelt, the
man and president, can be formed at this
time Not until adequate prospective is avail.
able will that be possible.
This is not said in disrespect for a great
man, whose attributes were extraordinary, but
10 point out that In prospective Roosevelt will
be the greater.
