er Hopes To Get Fort

A home for the recently-organ-

Kenneth L. HUM, commander said
last night.
He said that federal authorities

surplus property at Fort Fisher.
had been contacted and that favor
able action is expected to result.
Hopes For Building
Although the official could
promise nothing definite, it is now
hoped that the Post will be able
to procure one or more Of the
Fort Fisher buildings for home,
Commander HUM said.
The idea has been expressed be-
fore by the leaders of the newly
formed post, but to date the Fort
Fisher authorities have not been
able to take any action on grant
ing the Post one of the buildings.
Everything possible" for get
ting one of the buildings, has been
promised the Post officials, by the
federal authorities.
AS a further step toward their
new home, the Legion will send a
delegation before the next meeting
of the town council to seek land
upon which to build the home.
Commander Hum said that he
probably would lead the delegation,
and that the council would be ask
ed to grant plot large enough
for the erection of good sized
building.
This is our aim, and we want
to get home as soon as possible,
so that visiting servicemen, and
former members of the armed
forces, and legionnaires from any
where can have headquarters

SUGAR PLAN UPSET
BY HEAVY BUYING
Housewives Become Angry
AT Being Unable To
Buy Commodity

WASHINGTON, March 24.-W.D-
Housewives rushing out to buy
canning sugar months before there
is any fruit 20 can are about to
upset the applicant" of OPA's
sugar distribution plan, officials
revealed Sunday night.
OPA wants the extra rations is
sued for canning to be used that
Way-not for table sugar. But the
ladies have other ideas. In some
areas they are mobbing the stores
to cash in their spare stamps and
are angry that sugar isn't avail
able.
The trouble started when OPA on
March II validated spare stamp
No. 8 for five pounds of canning
sugar to accommodate strawberry
growers il the South, where fruit
ripens early. At the same time the
price agency worked out a zonal
distribution system whereby can
ming sugar would be on hand every
where when fruit and vegetables
are ready to be preserved.
oPA says if the ladies will hold
on to their hats and wait till the
canning season starts wherever
they live, the sugar will be on
hand when they need it. There is
plenty to redeem all the stamps.
But the housewives, mauy- .zof
whom OPA suspects, don't even
intend to can, don't want to wait.
The situation in New York was so
bad last week that sugar distribu-
tors were making deliveries in
camouflaged trucks to keep wo-
men from mobbing the stores.
Everybody with a ration book can
get sugar for canning purposes
five pounds with the stamp now
valid and another five pounds with
a stamp to be validated in June
or July. OPA isn't doing any
policing to see that it is used for
canning, but is appealing to house
wives to use the extra rations
only for home preserving as a
ptatriotic way to aid the food
conservation program.
Some stores, are not cooperat-
ing, the agency said. Several here,
for example, are advertising that
spare stamp 9 is good for five
pounds without making any men
ton of canning.
Last year, individual applica-
tons had to be filed for canning
sugar. but that practice could not
be followed this year with OPAs
staff whitfield down after otner
food rationing stopped.

conveneS next January.
Several considerations, commit
tee members said privately, have
motivated the general and in
formal agreement of the commit
tee to take no action this year.
Election Year
l. This is election year, and the
constituency of most members is
split sharply on whether the United
States should order compulsory
peacetime military training for it's
young men.
2. The Army had testified that
it does not want both selective
service and universal training at
the same time; it now is fighting
for one-year extension of the
wartime draft.
Changed Conditions
3. If the wartime draft law is
extended, and indications are it
will be, but not for a year, the
committee wants to review the en-
tire military picture in the light of
changed world conditions just be-
fore expiration of the renewed
draft act.
1--WE had planned to take up
universal training again after the
November elections a commit
tee member said, ''but that hardly
would give time for 10 the House
and the Senate to act before final
adjournment in December. It
would mean that we would have
to start the entire fight anew next
year, so we have just about de-
cided to do nothing more this
year."

BLUE LAWS MEET
ATTENDED BY 200
ARL Association Secretary
Speaks Against Clos
ing Plan Here

Some 200 people, among them a
city councilman and a high-rank-
ing city police officer. attended
the mass meeting yesterday after
noon in ITALIAN hall at which H.
H. Votaw, secretary Of the Ameri-
can Religious Liberties associa-
ton, Washington, D. c., carried on
the Seventh Day Adventists' fight
against the city's proposed "Sun-
day-closing ordinance"
Clubs In Hands
Religious laws are clubs in the
hands OF the jealous" Votaw said.
'Let the council decree one "a
hour day of rest per week, If need
be, but let the selection of that
day be up to the individual and his
God"
Votaw's speech was the third in
a series of speeches Of objec-
ton" against the proposed ordin-
ance.
The first took place at the City
councils meeting of March 10
when the Rev. T. J. Jenkins, local
Seventh Day Adventist clergyman,
dashed out at the Retail Grocers
association, which wants the ordin-
ance, and the Wilmington Minis
terial association, which supports
the grocers association.

YAMASHITA LEFT
MILITARY WILL
Hanged Jap Leader Said
Ground Forces M a de
Useless By Warplanes

WASHINGTON, March 24P)-
Con Tomoyuki Yamashita left as
military last will to the United
Gates the advice to rewrite the
tpytbooks on strategy at West
paint and Annapolis, the Infantry
journal reported Sunday. -
Before be was hanged February
q in the Philippines as a war
criminal, Yamashita, the Tiger
# Malaya,' was quoted in the semi
offcial military publication as
stating the atomic bomb and Amer
Iran long range bombers had con-
ynced him that ground forces had
virtually lost their role in war
fare.
Single Blow
In a 1900 word statement Of his
views as a professional soldier,
which the Journal said was die
tsted in his death cell, Yamashita
medicted that any future major
war would be settled from the air
with a single blow by planes laden
with atom bombs.
Saying the strategic objective re-
mains of destroying an enemy S
will to fight by knocking out in
dustrial areas, ports and railways,
Yamashita continued:
The war will be over, to all
intents and purposes, even II en-
emv forces are still in existence,
still unengaged and still mde-
teated. They will be dependent
on supplies which they can never
receive.
And the employment OF our
own ground forces will be neces-
sarv only if those doomed enemy
combat forces continue to wage
their hopeless fight to the end"
As a general principle, Yama-
shita concluded that lin the future
any country which possesses the
largest terrain in area and attalns
the highest technical progress, that
country will be in a highly envla-
bic position"
In fact, it will be almost UNI
beatable," he added.
In the war with the United States
he said Japan's cause was los'
even before long range bombers
and the atom bomb were thrown
into the scale, because OF lack Oh
sufficient material resources.
In the defense of LuZon the Jap
aneSe were fatally handicapped Dy
lack of air power, he reported.

LONDON, March "a -
(UP) - Russia announced
Sunday night on the eve of
the United Nations Security
Council meeting that her
troops were withdrawing from
Iran, but the announcement
left loopholes by which the evacu-
alton could be halted at any time
within the next six weeks.
Radio Moscow said the evacua-

hitherto secret Soviet 1ranian
agreement and that it should be
completed within five to six weeks
If nothing unforeseen should take
place."

The announcement startled dip
lomatic circles less than "a hours
before Britain and the United
States were prepared to lay the
Iranian problem before the New

TAR HEEL DOCTOR
ATTENDS MARINER
FROM &C AIRSH[P

ELIZABETH CITY, March "a
-P)-A seaman aboard the
New York-bound Victory ship
Alex w. Donithan was reported
suffering from spinal meningi-
tbs, Sunday, by Coast Guard
medical officer who made a
mail order diagnosis while
his plane circled above the
gale-tossed ship.
The plane, a Martin Mariner,
attached to the Coast Guard
Air rescue service here, was
prevented from landing to re-
move the patient because Of 49,
foot seas, breaking over the
freighter's bow. The ship was
caught in a gale ESQ miles off
Currituck lighthouse.
However, the plane circled
overhead for two and one-half
hours while the medical Off
Ger, Lieut.. Comdr. John C.
Grier, of Charlotte, made his
diagnosis and prescribed drugs
and sedatives for treatment.

the agreement is or even the fact
that one has been made. They
knew nothing specific this evening
except the Moscow radio report
that Red Army troops were be-
ginning to quit Iran In accordance
with a new agreement.
Full Agreement
This was in line with diplomatic
developments of the last 48 hours
in Iran, however, it was learned
from top United Nations authori-
ties gathering here for Mondays
opening session Of the Security
Council. There was expectation
that an announcement would be
made of the full agreement within
"a to 48 hours.
Among top delegates a virtual.
though informal, agreement was
reported here to limit Mondays
sessions at the Council chamber at
Hunter college to formalities of
speechmaking and thus delay the
whole Iranian question until Tues
day at least.
That would defer Trans demand
for Council action to get Soviet
troops out Of Iran, Russia's de-
mand for a delay in the coucil
action until April 10, Americas
fcounter-insistence on immediate
action and Americas demand also
for a full report from Russia and
Iran on the whole situation.
Real Issue
OF these pending proposals and
demands, only one will be left as
real issue for the Council if the
Fusso-1ranian agreement, as re-
ported by the Moscow radio, turns
out to be to Iran and and the
