RULES ON RENTALS
ARE MISC0NSTRUED

Misconception among landlords
of the prevailing regulations con-
trolling the rental of beach proper
ty seems to be leading to a demand
for excessive rents in the resort
area, Maurice Moore. Area Rent
Director, said yesterday.
In order to clarity this situation,
Mr.. Moore explained that the Re
sort Housing amendment, issued
in the spring of 1914, specified tina
housing accommodations located at
resorts and which were not rented
during any portion of the period
beginning November l., 1943 and
ending February 20, 1914, were
exempt from federal housing ~egu-
lations during the summer season
beginning June l and ending Sept.
80, 1914.
This spring a similar amend
ment was issued with respect to
1915 summer rents, from June to
September 30, inclusive. This Latter
amendment specifies the vacancy
period from November l, 1943 to
February 20, 1914. There has been
no provision for exemption during
the winter season of 1944-1945.
In cases, however, where pro-
perties have been vacant during
the past winter, landlords may file
formal petition for an adjustment
of summer rent. Unless or until an
order issued by the Area Rent
Office following the receipt of such

with rope for around five persons
at a swing.
THE old hospital must have been
the most crowded filthy place you
can imagine. The beds were
shelves extending from one end OF
the long room to the other. A
couple of 2 by 4 braces separated
these four TERED shelves into COM
partments about two and one-haf
feet high and five and one-half
feet wide and six feet deep. In
such a compartment six patients
would lay with only one blanket for
cover. Statistics show that approx
mately sixty persons died IN this
hospital every day, and looking at
the place I can believe it.
The food supply of the past
winter had slowly decreased until
the men were getting a loaf OF
bread for every six men, weak
soup, hot water for drink-per Gay
There was no noon meal whatso-
ever. The day we were there they
were cooking potatoes, greens.
bread, and butter. 1t was interest
ing to note that the cooking facill-
ties could only be utilized for soups,
stews, etc, as there was no place
for frying, etc.
Walking through the area all
the men greeted us with salutes
and greetings in their own 1angu-
age The sick were now being car
ed for under the Army's superVl-
sion. AS l walked down the hos
pital aisle I saw hundreds of liv-
ing keletons-almost starved to
death. But there was no fear IN
their eyes, only JOY that was ap-
parent in all for they were free
men once more, and the way home
beckoned."

JOB PLACEMENT
TALKED AT DAVIS

CAMP DAVIS, June 13.-"Psy
Geological testing is one of the ways
in which we arrive at a Gonzales
cent prescription stated Major
Milton B. Jensen in a radio broad
cast last night. Job placement
Is just as important in GONZALES,
cent hospital as it is in big fac
tory. The patient must be assign
ed to activities that he can do,
that he is interested in, that will
not place him under too great a
strain, activities that will help
him both mentally and physically
Major Jensen, officer in charge
OF the program placement and psy.
Geological branch of convalescent
services at Camp Davis, was the
featured guest on Johnny Comes
Marching Home, broadcast last
night over the Wilmington station
WMFD. In an interview that was
designed to inform the local citi
zens of the various problems,
Itechniques and achievements of
the AAF convalescent program,
Major Jensen explained how rest
and medical care are supplemented
by program of mental and ply
steal activities personally suited
TO the individual patient.
Psychological testing is not only
employed as an aid to determining
convalescent programs, but is>used
to help men being separated from
the service prepare for their flu
ture vocational or avocational ac-
t;vities. The trained personnel ana
extensive testing devices available
at Camp Davis make it possible
for the soldier to first of all dis
cover what mis- own talents aptl-
tudes and interests are. Then, Oil
the basis of these findings, he can
go into consultation with the ex.
perts and make more intelligent
decisions concerning his future
life.
Featured vocalist on the broad
cast was Sgt. Aston ToWnley,
popular Camp Davis tenor, who in

Pfc. Robert H. Hollis, son of M.
and Mrs. J. r. Hollis, who is sta
toned in Gotha, Germany, with
an engineering company attached
to the First Army, recently made
tour of the notorious Quicken
wald'' concentr ration camp t
Weimar, Germany, and in a letter
received by his parents yesterday,
tells of his impressions.
Pfc. Hollis graduated in 1913
from New Hanover High School
and entered the Army on October
4, 1943. In the fall of 1914, he went
overseas, and for awhile was a
part Of the Third Army, but was
later transferred to the First.
His account of conditions at the
camp follows:
Several days ago I went on a
tour to the notorious concentration
camp "Buckenwald', at Weimar.
This was the first of many tours
to places of interest and informa-
ton. Decided this deserved a let

more he spoke good English.
Flags of every nation imagin-
able were flying over the camp
as we entered but the Russian Red
was predominant, possibly because
they were decorated for May Day.
Their main buildings were decked
out with evergreen and red bunt-

showing beaten Germany.

PRIESTLEY TALKS
TO SHIPBUlLDERS

Ihe EnguSn are more aware OF
the importance of the shipping in,
dustry than any other nation in
the world, DR.. Gerald Priestley, Of
London, prominent lecturer for the
Army and Navy W.M.C.A. and U.
So, declared in speech before
the employees Of the North Caro-,
lima Shipbuilding Co. at the yard
yesterday morning.
England, he continued, "could
not exist for more than three
months without the imports that
shipping makes possible. No town
in England is more than go miles
from the sea and the English are
very conscious of the advantages
of the ocean,"
DR.. Priestley discussed his trav.
els in Germany before the war and
of the great display Hitler and his
SIS troopers made following his as.
cension to power. The lecturer was
among the many who watched the
German students as they burned
their Christian, books on the lawn
of the University of Heidelberg.
He was also present when Mus
solini, in one of his famous bal.
cony scenes, told the Italian people
that they would conquer the world.
DR.. Priestley was also in Vienna
when Hitler entered the city. He
was standing beside young man,
a Czech, who declared 'this is the
end"
But it was not the end. 1.-THE
Czechs have a slogan Truth Shall
Prevail and this led them through
the dark days when Hitler entered
their country. It was through you
that the flags of freedom .ly in
Europe and soon they shall fly in
the Pacific" he told the shipyard
employees.
The visitor to the yard also
stressed the importance of every.
mans job and his moral obligation
to help plan world of peace.
An interesting side-light of the
European war brought out in his
talk was disclosure Of the fact that
if the Germans had used their
deadly V-bombs IA days earlier,
the war might still be going On
Earlier use, he pointed out, would
probably have disrupted the great
collection of supplies and men nee
essary for the invasion.
Discussing the comradeship be-
tween the English and Americans,
ne pointed out that one time, in
1914, there were many more Amer.
leans between the ages of 10 and
30 in England than there were
Engishmen.
1.-THE Americans could have cas-
lily taken England, had they beer
so in mind. And" he added, ''the
English would not have minded toe
much.''
DR.. Priestley was introduced to
the lunch-time assembly by c. T.
Lewis, assistant to the Secretary.

Aside from his own immediate
policy declarations as he took Of
flee on the death of President
Roosevelt, perhaps the most I'M
portant step in international affairs
President Truman has taken was
his selection of Harry Hopkins
and Joseph E. Davies as his ennis
saries respectively to Premier
Stain and Prime Minister Chur-
chill leading UP to the next big
Three meeting.
He could have found no two men
better qualified to reassure Moscow
and London that Mr.. Roosevelt's
passing meant no change what
ever in American purposes for
war and peace. Both had been too
long and too intimately associated
with the. inmost circle of Roosevelt
policy making for their new as
signments to have any other mean
ing in Russian or British eyes.
With Hopkins return from Mos

the time, the place and presumably

would reach such high levels Of
deliberation and decision. Pro.
vision for that was made at Yalta

However, it is quite possible that
other questions arising from the

In this case, your real troubleis not in

And where it gets blocked when it fails

CREATING PERMANENT JOBS

a,u The electric and gas utility industries
will spend more than 81 900, 600, 900 in the
next II months says the Federal Power
Commission. 1t bases this statement on re-
ports from companies representing more
than 80 per cent of the two industries. A
small part of this money will be spent by
municipal electric systems, but expendi-
lures for Federal projects are not included.
The bulk of the billion dollars will be
spent by private electric companies, and
every dollar they spend will represent new
taxable assets for city, county, state and
Federal governments. This cannot be said
for the municipal and Federal plants which
operate under public subsidies and tax ex-
emptions. To the extent that they displace
private utilities, they increase the taxes of
all other citizens.
The electric utility industry has a
planned outlay for the IL months of $751;
0,000. The gas industry in the same pc
Rod plans an expenditure of 1851 100000.
This is the type of postwar spending that
means permanent new industries which will
furnish steady jobs at good wages. This is
the type of expenditure that pours money
into the public treasures, thereby tighten
ing the postwar tax burden on private citi-
zens This is the type of expenditure that
enables hundreds of thousands of people
to invest their savings in American enter
prise which they own and on which they
earn fair return.
This is the type of expenditure that our
country needs, for this is the type of expen-
diture that keeps the United States a nation
of free and Independent men and women
who can plan their own future and security,
as contrasted with the socialized state
which makes its citizens financially depend
ent on government for their existence.

NOT AFRAID OF WORDS

You know about the man, everybody
does, who is always bleating about what he
is going to do, and does nothing. You run
across him in Key West and would run
across him in every other city in this coun-
try, or in the world, for that matter. There
are many of his ilk
The Japs, judging from broadcasts
over Radio Tokyo, are now much like that
imam. Every day, for several weeks. they
have been bleating about what they are
going to do to put an end to the blasting of
their country, and have done nothing.
And every time they have made that
statement they have spoken about the
planes they have lin reserve" and which
they will send into the air at the psychology
ical moment to destroy the American and
British planes that have hammered much
of Japan into dust.
One would have thought that the
psychological moment" had been reached
many weeks ago, when American and
British planes and ships were causing wide
spread destruction in Japan. What are the
Japs going to do: keep their planes ''in re-
serve" till their country has been laid
waste? azts sa .au3.. i a.
EH Undoubtedly there are many Jap war;
lords who believe that if they continue
harping on the subject of those reserved
planes long enough they may create fear
among American and British military lead
ers. The GTaps don't seem to be aware that
they have cried "'Wolf, Wolff" so often
their ominous threats have long since been
wornout even as jokes.
We have heard it said frequently that
we don't understand the Japs' psychology,
yet we understand their psychology far
more than they understand ours. Probably,
after they have been soundly defeated they
may realize that we are not afraid of words
