Welcome, Presswomen

The meeting of the North Carolina
Presswomen is under way at Wrlghts-
vile Beach today and we doubt if the
resort will be host to a group of more
earnest women during it's convention
season.
Reducing their gathering to a one
day session because of the press of
work, nevertheless the program will be
q thorough one rejecting the women's
serious attitude toward their careers.
The %well-rounded agenda will include
a reception, an address on their pro-
fession, announcement of the winners
in the several NCPW-sponsored writ
ing contests, discussion of various
business matters and election of Off
GERS.
1t is good that the North Carolina
newspaperwomen have their own or
ganization. Through it, they can col
lectively discuss their work and prob
lens. 1t gives them additional prestige.
Today the woman occupies her high
est place in journalism, both in the
state and nationally. The war, with it's
tremendous drain on manpower, gave
her the opportunity she had long
sought. She is making the most of it.
Whether these gains are retained re-
main, in practically all cases, up to the
individual. And with her fine sense of
responsibility to her profession, as re-
Elected in today's meeting, we believe
she will.
Meantime, our best wishes. to our
visitors that their session will be an
interesting and profitable one and from
1t they will gain inspiration for even
greater achievement in the future.

New Hanover is saved these head

Underlying this efficiency is the

Up Martin Bormann's blonde
private secretary said today she
vas convinced of his death because
the deputy fuehrer was "too stupid
to have remained in hiding suc-
cessfully for SO long"
Bormann, missing since the fall
of Berlin, was a brutal man of
violent temper and rude manners"
Miss Else Kruger declared in an
interview. He was helpless when
left on his own"
The ~31-year-old woman, who has
been requested as a witness by the
German attorney defending Bor-
mann in absential at the Nuern-
berg war crimes trials, said she
last saw her employer when they
both fled from Hitler's air raid
shelter about 2 a. m. on May 2
last year, just before Berlin fell.
"Bormann went with a few of his

could easily have been mistaken
for an ordinary SIS trooper. There
were innumerable bodies lying

IF he did get away, he would
have been caught by now. He

long"
Tall, blue-eyed, with a great
shock of honey-colored hair, Miss
Kruger enjoyed Hitler's admilel
ton because he believed she cor
responded TO his nordic racial the

good" She was employed as a
maid in beauty salon and dress
shop before going to the Commerce
Department as multilith operator
in 1912. Her last job in the ONCE
of International Trade was as a
file clerk.
Miss Davis, according to the Wal

from Benedict College, S. c., and
had an efficiency rating of very
good" She was a mimeograph
operator in the War Department for
two years before coming to the Of
flee Of International Trade as a file

queus and interviewers for colored
job applicants, Mr.. Hetzel said COL
ored and white applicants had been
handled in different buildings until
1912 when a number of community

pose a new plan.
AS a result of those meetings, he
said. 1t was decided to bring all job
applicants into one building, but to
maintain the segregation. Mr.. Hetzel
said the colored YMCA and the Ma

sented among the community

housing shortage by setting up

In the first reported case of troops

stationed in camp near liver Heath,

which Mrs. T. J. Robson had been

Mrs. Robson had left the hut for
a few minutes. When she returned
she found the troops had entered
by the back door and were firmly
established in the rear half of her
house.
This maneuver brought quick ac-
