The movement already underway
to get branch office of the Civil

established in Wilmington received
new impetus yesterday.
In meeting attended by prom

Wilmington Housing authority,
said:
See New Industry
"Our job is to supply employ
ment to all people in this city,
particularly to veterans, but that
cannot be accomplished until new
industries locate here.
But new industries cannot
locate here until industrial build
ings can be built. And new build
ings cannot be built until the CPA
permits them to be built.
"It is only logical, therefore,
that a CPA office be established
mere to accelerate tne Dullolhg

KIWANIANS HEAR
RABBI SAY0WITz
Speaker Tells OF Worlds
Faith In America And
Institutions

Although the path of darkness
lies ahead of the world, there is
sound reason for hope of brighter
days to come because America
has gone far since its birth and
will 60 farther, Rabbi William
Sayowitz of Temple Israel told
members of the Wilmington XII
wants club at their regular lunch
con meeting at the Friendly yes
terday.
Presented to the club by Harry
Solomon, program chairman for
the day, Rabbi Sayowitz was well
received as he wove his thoughts
on world subjects and world
events.
Room For Optimism
At the outset, he told Kiwanians
that he had been greatly impress
ed of late on visits to his people
by their earnest discussion of ma
tional and international events and
that large majority of them were
looking at these events from a lay
as well as religious viewpoint.
He came away from these discus
sions, he said, in mood OF pes
simism, but soon became con-
WINGED that there is room tor
optimism despite the apparent
darkness ahead.
Preachers of all faiths, he said.
are now turning to this manner OF
presenting their messages - tying
in national and international events
as they stack up from a religious
viewpoint. And in this manner
religion today is helping to shape
the minds of our people more
forcefully than ever before.
Hope of Millions
Turning then to the subject OF
America, the speaker said that II
is the dream and the hope OF mil
lions upon millions in other LANDS
neonle who see in the United states
that essence and guarantee OF
freedom for which millions have
fought and died.
The remarkable thing to hlm'
the Rabbi said, was that America
has come so far in such a snor'
time And then again, he said,
such an advance in thought ano
leadership is only natural among
nation of people VINO nave 'iie
faith and courage to go ahead.
Reverting again briefly to the
neonle of other lands, the speaker
said that their faith in America
is based on the fact that mere we
all have things in common. Where'
he asked, is there another nation
which would trust its Leadership
to hopeless cripple and live 70
see that cripple lead the Unlteo
States and America out OF dark
ness into sunshine.
Stressing that in his opinion, the
Congress of the United States does
not understand today the minds OF
the people, he then predicted that
if rationing were to be relmposed'
the great majority of the people
would cooperate wholeheartedly
for the common good of all. He
closed with a fervent appeal for
everyone to lift his and her voice
n .congress to heed the wishes OF
the majority on all vital issues.

the Trojans to spank the Red
Raiders 6-3. This is the third
straight loss which the Raiders
have handed the Trojans. Juani
Navarro, playing first base for
the Trojans, collected a double
and a single to lead the attack.
The most devastating blow was
Joe Navarro's Texas Lacquer in
to right field with the bases
loaded which broke a tie in the
sixth Inning. The most tremen-
dous drive of the afternoon was
hit by Tony Alonzo, Trojan
rightfielder, when he poled a
375 foot triple into deep right
field in the first inning to start
things rolling for the Trojans.
Mario Hernandez collected two
for three to lead the losers at
tack. Sweeting was very effec-
tive in the pinches stricking out
7, walking 5. Lastres, who also
was effective in the pinches,
struck out 8, walked four.

Red Raiders Split Doubleheader
With Machinists And TrOians

The Red Raiders split a
doubleheader yesterday at Mu-
nicipal Stadium when they took
the first game from the Machi-
nistS 10, and then dropped the
nightcap to the Trojans 6-3. The
Red Raiders substituted in the
first game for a Navy team from
Boca Chica which failed to show
up. An unearned run in the third
inning enabled the Raiders to
nose out the Machinists in five
innings of play although they
were held to two hits by south
paw Dave Lynch. The Michinists
failed to hit in the pinches, and
therefore could not score off
Charlie Albury. Lynch allowed
two hits, struck out 2, walked
two. Albury, allowed five hits,
struck out /; walked l. Lynch,
who has yet to beat the Raid
ers, has lost twice to them.

fact was duly published in The

playing time expired, though.
The Redland gym is faced with
a lack of equipment, just as our
own gym was up until the last
couple of years. The whistle for
the end of the game was blown,
but it was not a loud enough
whistle and nobody heard it. The
teams kept on playing after game
time and Redland scored a bas-
ket 10 seconds after the final
whistle had sounded. The crowd
went wild with joy, thinking
their team had won, but it was
quickly explained that the bas-
ket did not count and that Key
West had won. The Redland
team and their fans are very
good losers and took their defeat
good-naturedly.

APPOINTMENT OF DION

Look for the appointment of
Fred Dion as city tax assessor
and there will be some salary
attached to the job. Principally
the job will be done from the
standpoint that no one is avail
able to do it at present and Fred
has agreed to step in and carry
the load. 1t will probably be a
thankless job because all persons
whose taxes may be raised will
blame the city commission, City
Manager Dave King and Tax AS
SCISSOR Fred Dion for the raise in
taxes. Sam Pinder, Jr., I under
stand, has agreed to take the job
but will only do the necessary
bookkeeping and record keeping
and will not establish policies.
His salary will be $40 a month.
The Dion appointment is expect
ed to come through lateA tonight
following a final conference to-
day.
