FARRELL CITES NEED
Reveals City Groups Will
Seek To Have Agency
Located In Area

John H. Farrell, city industrial
agent, yesterday revealed one OF
the major projects of his office for
the coming months as a concerted
effort by all interested groups to
have the Department of Commerce
establish in Wilmington an office
of the Bureau of Foreign and Dom
este Commerce.
Farrell, who was associated with
the bureau for a number of years,
states that the 1910 census figures
show North Carolina as the second
most ~populous state in the South,
only Georgia exceeding it all
Southern states east of the Missis-
sippi. Wilmington, as the leading
port city of the state, is the logical
choice for an office of the bureau,
he continued.
The bureau was set UP in 1912 be
act of congress, in which the sta
tutor. purpose was set forth as;
ITO foster, promote, and develop
the foreign and domestic COM
merce # the United States" AS a
part of the functions of the bureau
a service is offered to importers
and exporters as we'll as manufac-
turers giving market induces, for
eign and domestic trade regula-
tons, industrial surveys, and
many other forms of valuable e
ports and trade 1romotional ser
vices.
Would Aid Trade
Such an office in Wilmington
would aid growth of import and

curate data necessary for the sue

JERUSALEM, Sunday, June 20
W.H-Two of five British officers
kidnapped by Jewish %terrorists from
a Tel Aviv club Monday were re-
turned there and released by their
captors shortly before, midnight
last night.
Shortly before the officers EEL
set free, a series of explosions
rocked Jerusalem. The cause was
not Immediately determined.
The officers. Capt. Rey and
Flight Lieut.. Russell, looking fit
and freshly shaved, were taken
by authorities to a secret destinaa-
ton in armored cars, closely guard
ed by heavily armed paratroopers.
Provost authorities said the other
three officers, presumably still IN
the hands of terrorists, were "ex-
pected to arrive here during the
night"
Authorities would not permit cor
respondents to talk to the released
officers who chatted and laughed
with other officers in their club
room at the Yarkon hotel - ap-
parently none the worse for their
10O-hour detention by terrorists-
until the armored cars arrived.
At about II pm, even before
they were taken to. the hotel, all
Tel Aviv newspapers received
mysterious telephone calls to tell
your readers we released two of
the five officers we abducted the
other day."
Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, a re-
liable source said British Maj. H.
B. Chadwick, a sixth officer in
terrorist hands who was reported
to have Escaped on Thursday,
actually had been released to act
as liaison officer between British
officials and Irgun Zvai Leumi,
Jewish terrorist organization.
1t was uncertain whether the
British had come to terms with
Irgun, but there was speculation
that the two terrorists condemned
to death recently by a military
court - a sentence that led to the
~kidnapings - would not be hang
ed.
Hagana, the conservative Jewish
underground army, earlier had
warned the t~errorists to release the
officers, or I'VE shall have no alter
native but to abduct the captors'
captive"
Officers Unframed
Unconfirmed but reliable sources
indicated the two released officers
were not harmed. They apparently
were set free shortly after leading
