House Unit TO Study
Mccormack S Charges

A House Civil Service subcommit-
tee headed by Chairman Ramspeck
this week will study charges of ir-
regularitieS in Government agencies
made by Col. E. j. Mccormack,
former director Of the Civil Service
Committees investigating unit.
Mr.. Mccormack wrote the report
in which he charged that personal
patronage, undeserved promotions
and violation of the principles of the
Classification Act were prevalent in
some Federal agencies.
The report has not been acted on
by the committee and the subcom-
mittee was appointed to consider the
merits of the charges made in the
report.
Mr.. Mccormack was relieved of
his duties by Mr.. Ramspeck after
he made public copy of the report
without first submitting it to the
committee. Mr.. Ramspeck charged
his aide with nsubordination for
releasing the report before the COM
mittee had chance to consider the
merits of the allegations.

A symphony conductor who boasts
in a Southern drawl that he is fifth
generation American, and Russian
pianist who fed occupied France on
foot have much in common.
James Christian Pfohl, North
Carolina conductor, and Balbina
Brainina, one of Paderewski's few
pupils, will make their Washington
debuts at the Water Gate tonight.
At the age of 5, Mr.. Pfohl began
leading an orchestra of paper dolls.
Miss Brainina was when she start
ed to play the piano in Moscow.
Both Favor Bach's Work.
Today, Bach is the favorite COM
poser of both artists. Yet they ar
rived by very different routes.
Miss Brainina, who left Moscow
in 1927 to live in Paris, made a
pilgrimage to the summer home of
the great Paderewski in Switzerland
one summer Sunday of 1886. A
friend invited him to hear her next
concert.
"Oh, am very little pianist"
she trembled.
Let me see your hands" he COM
manded. You do not have the
hands of little pianist"
Paderewski came to the concert.
Later, he listened for four hours to
her repertoire. She took a room
near by and studied under him.
That was one of two times Miss
Brainina thanked God for her
talent. The second time she made
an impression on ticket agent in
North Africa.
Saw Nazis Take Bordeaux.
During the war, she lost her
mother and father in Moscow and
a brother in France. She fed
Paris for Bordeaux only to see the
Germans march into that city. AL
though she obtained a visa, the
Germans refused to let her leave
occupied France. -. --
$50 I walked I went to my pas
tor in Paris. He made a date for
me to meet mysterious man in
drugstore"
There she received instructions.
Two weeks later, in a group of two
women and four men, she took a
taxi into the country.
The women were braver," she
reported. THE men were escaped
prisoners and terribly nervous"
A man was waiting for them at
a certain spot in the country. While
the escapes hid in the grass, he
changed into work clothes and went
off to watch the German patrols.
"At last, he came back and said:
Come quick We ran across the
border into unoccupied France"
Plays Music for Ticket.
After waiting for a year in Lyon,
Miss Brianina made her way to
North Africa. In Casablanea, she
met the representative of Por-
tuguese shipping firm, who liked
Chopin.
IF I play for you, will you give
me passage to Lisbon?"
"Let me hear you play first"
The next day she approached his
ticket window.
"Shush!" he said, and handed her
a first-class passage to freedom.
AS American as Miss Brainina, is
continental, Mr.. Pfohl cut his first
orchestra out of a Sears, Roebuck
catalogue. His second orchestra was
composed of his parents, three sis
ters and two brothers. In 1929, the
family orchestra won contest in
Boston sponsored by the Federation
of Music.

Halsey's "wrecking crew" of
fast carriers-including the Lex
ington, independence, San Jacinto,
Essex and probably the British
Formidable-emerged from five
day security blackout to strike the
southernmost part of Japan yet hit
in the current seaborne offensive.
The latest assault raised to more
than 5000 the number of carrier
plane sorties flown against Japan
in Is days. Nimitz' bulletin did not
provide any details of the new as

Carrier aircraft of the Third
Fleet launched attacks in great
strength on military targets in the
vicinity of Kure in western Hon
shu at dawn today. The attacks
are now continuing"
Kure is a city of 275,000 and was
last hit July 2 by Superforteresses,
which burned out $50 square miles
or so per cent of the built up area.
The naval base has yards capable
of repairing warships and naval
auxiliaries of all types and sizes.
It is the largest of Japan's four

kyo bay-have been bombed be-
fore while Maizuru on Honshu has

BANK DEPOSITS
SHOW BIG GAIN
CONTINUED From Page One)

Both totals, 1914 and 1945. are
for cash deposits only, Mr.. Darden
pointed out, and do not include
security deposits which would
boost the overall total several
more millions of dollars.
Further evidence OF the citizen
wealth in Wilmington as of June
30, 1915 was revealed in a report
by Postmaster Wilbur R. Dosher
covering postoffice savings de-
posts for the first half of 1945
which, according to the report,
totaled $279,922, OF a gain of $751;
039 over the six-month period end
ing June 30, 1914. While the total
gain for the six month period was
impressive, the total nnonth-to-
month gain was not quite so large.
the difference favoring the 1945
period being but $3.507O0.
According to the "Sales Man.
agement" survey which covered
the year 1914, Wilmington retail
business houses enjoyed a. trade
volume of $25, 301, 900, or 2.31 per
cent of the business of the state.
although Wilmington's popularity
figures for the year were but 2.O9
per cent of the state total.
Pointing out that Wilmington, S
strong position as a trading CEN
ter is not only reflected by the
s25. 3O1, 900 of retail sales, but by
the fact that the effective buying
| income per person here was 1892.
during 1914, leading the state aver
age of $724 and the 1925 of the
South Atlantic states, the Sales
Management" survey showed that
New Hanover county residents in
1914 had a per capita buying in
come of So, 534, which exceeded the
state average of $3,035.
Another factor rejecting on bank
deposits in the city, was also
brought to light by the magazine S
survey, which showed that much
of the local earnings in Whining
ton and New Hanover county dur
ing 1914 went into the purchase
of War Bonds and other invest
ments, and these totals do not OF
course, show in the total bank de-
posts for the period of January
to June 80, 1914, or for the same
period of the present year.
A recent check of retail buing in
Wilmington for the first six months
of 1945. conducted by The Star
News, showed that business was
off from five to IL per cent over
the same period of 1914, when
financial authorities attribute u
the fact that consumer buying
during the first half OF this year
has been stifled because OF the
shortage of merchandise ana re-
stricted transportation. :.
With the prospect OF more sooos
available during the last 1lVe
months Of the year, the nuylng
ability and desire OF winning
tonians are expected to find ar
outlet that will again boom local
business. -

new HANOVER MAY
SEEK SUPER ROAD

A committee to project Whining
toms interests in the proposed net
work of superhighways in North
Carolina was appointed at a joint
meeting of City and County officials
yesterday morning.
City Manager A. C. Nichols rec
commended that the most feasible
plan for including this City in the
Federal inter-regional system OF
srperhighways would be through
the diversion of Route 3O1, south
from Wilson to include wilmington
on it's coastal route south.
On the motion of City Council
man ]. E. L. Wade, committee
comprised of two members each
from the City and County govern
ments was delegated to prepare In
formation to submit to the meet
ing in Raleigh, with view to per-
suading the board to include Will
mington on the proposed Route
301.
Present plans under consider
alton by the State Highway Com
mission, of which Sandy Graham is
chairman, includes only one link in
he inter-regional system in the
eastern part of the State, running
directly through U. S. No. 301,
west of Wilmington.
CITY and County officials studied
the proposal and are inclined to be-
ieve that the highway would be
better suited to the eastern and
coastal part of the State if it left
Highway 3O1 at Wilson and was
diverted to Wilmington, and to
South Carolina.
Mr.. Nichols pointed out that
there would be little need in max
ing the superb ghway directly south
from Virginia on U. S. II due to
the isolated regions north of Will
mington. However, it was his con-
struction standards that the State
Mayor Ronald Lane, that the City's
tourist business would be cut co,1-
siderably if the new highway
system did not include Wilmington.
An official of the State Highway
Commission pointed out last week
that North Cafolina would benefit
more if the State were allowed to
build its own roads, suited to the
needs of the State, rather than to
Sink excessive funds into the con-
struction standards than the State
would build.
1t was explained that the fewer
miles included in North Carolina
as part of the inter-regional system,
the better the State as whole
would benefit.
Also to be represented at the
meeting Friday is the City of
Raleigh. which will attempt to show
cause why that City should be in
Guided on the system.
Greensboro, Charlotte, Durham
and other cities already included
in the proposed plans, will be re-
presented in order to show cause
why these cities should be retained
on the present plan.
