CAPT. king CITED FOR HEROIC ACTION
GETS BRONZE STAR
MEDAL AS SENATOR
EA5TLAND LIBELS GI'S

BIRMINGHAM, July 13 (ANP)
on furlough, war-wounded
Capt. Beauregard King, nephew Of
the Rev. B. G. King, prominent To-
cal clergyman, was notified of the
Award of Bronze Star medal" by
Gen. McAuliffe "for heroic achieve
ment in action
This citation, ironically, was re-
ceived by the battle-marked hero of
the 614th Tank Destroyer battalion
on the day Sen. Eastland Of Missis-
sippi was libeling Negro soldiers in
the senate under immunity.
A comrade of Capt. King wrote
him a letter in which was packed
this striking comment:
'Gen. McAuiffe, who has gone
back to the States, came out and
gave the third platoon "C'' company
the Presidential Unit Citation rib
bons, and Silver Star to Capt. Smith
and Sturckey and Serree Nelson.
Nelson's platoon, with a platoon of
light tanks from the 761st attached,
tangled with the Krauts after we
broke through the Siegfried line
and had quite hand to hand battle
and did lot of good work.
'Sgt. Spencer banged one Ger
man over the head as the German
was trying to shoot Nelson, and all
in all, there was a lot of fighting,
and good work on the part of our
men,"
The citation to Capt. King reads,
"On March Is, 1915, Capt. King
planned and organized a small task
force for an attack on France. Lead
ing his men in the attack, Capt.
King was severely wounded by en-
emy automatic weapon fire. After
falling to the ground, he called to
his second in command and urged
him to continue the attack, which
resulted in the capture of the village
and the taking of a number of pris-
oners. Capt. Kings outstanding
leadership reflected the highest
tradition of military service"

Fort Fisher Scheduled
For Disposal By Army

Preparations are under way to
dispose of the $3,000,000 military
installation at Fort Fisher, which
was declared surplus property
about go days ago by the Army
Service Forces, reliable sources
disclosed yesterday.
Fort Fisher, which. was built for
the service of six automatic Weap-
on battalions and special firing
ranges for Antiaircraft Artillery
work. will not be used by the Army
Air Forces in connection with the
reactivation of Camp Davis, de-
spite the fact it formerly was I'M
Ger the jurisdiction of that post
as a firing point, the authority
said.
The offering Tor sale of the mis-
toric fort will come up later"
the official said. Fright now plans
are only being formulated for its
disposal.
1.-The fort has served it's useful
purpose. Between 1000 and 5000
AA troops were trained there at
its peak, on a rotation system.
The reason purported by the
authority as to why the AAF did
not want Fort Fisher along with
Camp Davis was that lit didn't
fit into their plans"
Final plan of disposal, which
requires the stamp of approval by
Washington, has not been worked
cut. At this time, the District En-
gineer office in Savannah is pre-
pairing an engineering estimate for
submission to the Division Engi
neer in Atlanta.
A 350-bed hospital constitutes one
of the most valuable assets of
Fort Fisher. While it had never
been offered for sale to New Han
over county, the board of county
commissioners in recent inspec-
ton of the hospital decided its,
use as tuberculosis sanitoriu-n
would not be feasible.
The authority also disclosed that
he Carolina Beach recreation area
las been declared surplus prop
erty and is nov in the process
