he declared. did not arrive until 10
minutes after the two injured per-

..Welcome to Wilmington
The truth of the matter, you see
is that the mechanics are attending
an annual convention in Charlotte,
and those two signs are a broad

tell us.
The year Of the convention, the
name of the Charlotte building,

what we could have found out If
we hadn't been so careless with
our notes.
It's like this. The other man whom
the first man told us to get in
touch with is the man who could
have supplied all this missing in
formation.
This nan, whoever he is, happens
TO be y of the men right there in

Of course we could study the
picture, memorize each face. and
then prowl around town searching
for a man who resembled n Of

But that. to put it mildly. would
be like trying to find a haystack in

We're very much afraid We'll
lust have to let the solution stand

up We'll hire Ellery Queen as our

Meanwhile. it appeared almost
certain that the General Assembly
also would be called upon to act
on Poland's charges that Franco
Spain was a threat to world peace.
Lange Plans Moves
Polish circles indicated that DR..
Oscar Lange, Polish delegate to
the Security Council, planned
two moves if the Security Coun-
Gil acts according to expectations
Monday and rejects his demand
for a worldwide diplomatic break
with the Franco regime.
l. He would make an effort to
keep the Spanish case on the Sc
curity Council agenda.
2. Regardless of what happened
in the Security Council, he would
bring the case before the General
Assembly.
Proposal Doomed
The delegates agreed that Po-
land was not likely to muster more
than four votes-Russia. France,
Poland, and Mexico-for an out
right break with the Franco re-
glme, and that her move to bring
the proposal up Monday was doom
ed in advance.
Some delegates saw it as a move
merely to get the council members
on record on the question.

The Indian complaint will be tbe
first to go directly to the General
Assembly instead of the Security
Council.
Under the charter, cases which
threaten international peace are
handled by the Council, while those
which merely threaten to impair

make recommendations to the

GALLOWAY BLASTS
LACK OF HOUSING
Legion Man Tells Jaycees
Employment Facilities For
Veterans Inadequate

Bad disqualification facilities fol
wounded veterans, the lack of ade'
quate housing, and the lack of en-
ployment for the returned service.
m were the highlights of a
speech by Ray Galloway, executive
director of Wilmington post No. TO-
American Legion, to the Junior
Chamber of Commerce at a dinner
last night.
These handicaps, coupled with
the fact that to date there is nc
honor roll for boys who served ir
the armed forces from Wilmington,
make Wilmington's participation ir
the post war veterans activities
seem meager as compared with
that of much smaller towns, accord
ing to director Galloway.
Cites Authority
Galloway told the Jaycees of the
case of a discharged Navy man
who was listed 100 per cent disabil-
ity on leaving the service of his
country, who had applied to the
Wilmington Housing Authority fol
living quarters in Lake Forest. Ap.
plication papers were destroyed
two times, according to the veteran.
The third application was certi
fled, and was placed, recently. Sc
far he has not been notified that an
apartment in Lake Forest is avail
able, he said.
Neglect Specified
Galloway cited several instances
of neglect of ex-servicemen who
were wounded, and need immedi-
ate disqualification.
He told members of the club thai
one wounded veteran has had an
application for entrance to vet.
eran's hospital for six months.
According to the veteran, he is
suffering intense PAIN but so far,
there has been no bed available,
either at one of the states vet.
eran's hospital or at nearby Camp
Lejeune.
Employment
The growing lack of employment
for ex-servicemen in Wilmington.
was attributed principally to EN-.
ployers who have not taken advan-
tage of the on-the-job training pro-
gram, offered as an advantage. to
both the employer and the en-
polyee.
Galloway told the club that if
the Wilmington business men en-
poly veterans on the basis of the
on-the-job plan, it would benefit
all concerned" The move he said
would result in more efficient ser.
vice from the employee.
-,'- Plans Outlined

DIGS DEEP; DEGREES
DEPARTED "DOZIER''

If anyone in town whose name
isn't James T. Duff, Jr., has
a wallet with James T. Duff,
Jr's, name in it, he may pre-
sumo that the wallet is not his
but Duff's.
And if he realizes this and
sends the wallet to the address
inside the wallet, Duff will, in
return, send him a reward.
Duff lost the wallet last Sum
day night in Wilmington. The
next day a man called at Duff's
room in the Cape Fear hotel
and told Duff that one of his
employees had found the wal
let, and the man gave Duff
his\ business address so Duff
could come around and get the
wallet.
Having already lost the wal
let, Duff next lost the address
of the man who told him where
to find the wallet. All Duff can
remember is that the man said
his place of business was next
to the Todd Furniture company.
Duff asks that the finder of
the wallet turn it over to
Todd's or send it to Duff him
self and then collect the re-
ward, if Duff doesn't lose that
too.
Tough stuff, Duff. Have you
ever tried putting a chain and
paddock on that wallet?

otto heard somewhere that

speaking, is worth about a

to mention it to the most re-
spectful and kindly policeman.
The door opened, ending this
silent measuretaking. Miss
Joan Mincy looked out and
said something like, Hello,
Otto" or "Why Hello, Otto"
Otto, with courtly refine
ment, protruded his tongue
about six inches and smiled.
The patrolman said, Miss
Mincy, your dog"
Miss Mincy's dog is Cock
er Spaniel. He is 2 IL years
old. He had been away from
home since last Thursday.
Otto is very off-hand about
the whole thing. When asked
where he'd been he might say,
"Oh, here and there" or
again Zone place and anoth-
err" Mostly, however, he lust
looks panied at the decay of
manners that has brought
about this curiosity concerning
how a private gentleman
spends his time.
