OFFICE
WILLL0CATE HERE
Southern Pines Man Nam
ed To Post; Quarters In
Murchison Building

The North Carolina State Vet
Grams commission will open offices
in Wilmington next week on the
seventh floor of the Murchison
building, with Leonard w. Bar
rett, a World War II veteran, as
assistant state service officer, In
charge.
Moore, native of Southern
Pines who has recently received
his discharge from the Navy, will
be the administrative officer in
charge of veterans affairs for New
Hanover, and the surrounding six
counties.
Establishment Of the office in
Wilmington and in II other North
Carolina cities is designed to re-
lieve the burden of administrative
work that has been borne in the
past by the central office in Fay
etteville. The local representative
will serve as a liaison officer be-
tween the veterans and their or
CARNATIONS here and the city and
county governments and the vet
erans' administration.
Moore was in Wilmington last
week to make preliminary ar
engagements for the opening of the
Wilmington office. He will return
next Tuesday.
The city and county government,
in recent joint action, voted to I'M
derwrite the expense of operating
the local office of the Veterans
commission, but it is now under
stood that the state commission
will bear these expenses, and seek
cooperation from the city and coun'
ty in future operations.
In naming Moore to the veterans
office, Wiley M. Pickens, director
of the State Veterans Commission,
said that the position was to be fill
ed b va, veteran of World War II.
Norwood S. Westbrook, former
commander of Wilmington Post
No. 10 Of the American Legion, had
been prominently mentioned for
the position.

HEAD INTO CARIBBEAN
To Land AT New Orleans
For Processing Through
Eighth Naval District
BY r. B. PAGE
Publisher Of The Star-News

ABOARD THE USS MISSISSIPPI
IN THE CARIBBEAN, Oct. 13.-
On the last leg of the long trip
home, the mighty Mississippi
headed into the Caribbean today,
bound for New Orleans.
Quite number of North Caro-
Lima boys are coming home on this
battle giant whose men and guns
played such a heroic role in the
war against Japan. Many are COM
ing home for the first time in more
than two years, some for discharge
and others for wen-earned fur
loughs. They will be landed at New
Orleans for processing through the
Eighth Naval district.
Some, of course, do not have the
sufficient points for discharge,
and there are others-many 9th
ers-who have signed for longer
bitches. But they all have one
thing in common: burning de-
sire to get back into the States;
to have their feet once again on
good old USA soil.
It is interesting, talking to many
of these men who are soon to be
back in civilian life; men who
have risked their lives time and
time again for their country. Right
now, second only to their enthu-
siasm about getting home again,
their main topic of conversation
seems :. to be about labor strikes.
In blunt language they are burn
ed up" about strikes going on
jus. when they are about to step
back in civilian life and former
occupations.
These men who have risked life
and limb and who endured hard
ships untold seem bitter as they
learn from their ship newspapers
that men back homes who have had
f W conveniences and drew "big
wages" are on strike at this parti.
cular time. To the fighting man
absent from his loved country for
months and years strikes apparent
Ily become a very personal matter.
They feel that they will be unable
to 60 back to work, or to find new
jobs on account of these strikes
Others are non-committal, say
Ing they have yet to hear labor S
side of the controversy. But thei1
interest is none-the-less keen.
