at Georgetown Seminary. Bob Bean
who attends Washington college
made it a foursome, and we pass
ed the time away talking about
college, but mostly about home!
Needless TO say, 1 was up early
the next morning. Looking out OF
the window, I saw tall, scraggly
trees growing right out of swamps,
surrounded by multi-colored ferns.
1t was sort of foggy, and the whole
scene would have appeared some
what dismal to anyone from away
from here. But TO me, it was beau
tiful, for 1 knew we would soon
be pulling into the station, and l
would. be home.
Saw Patsy Hardwick at the foot
ball game Thanksgiving night. The
stadium was packed with h g
school people, and college students
home for the holidays. Betty Yopp,
Fannie Longiey, Raymond Thoma-
son, Cash Register. and Jack Pres.
ton, Willie Hewlett, and all the
regulars were there in full force.
Weddell Harriss kept up posted on
the events of the game, throwing
in little comments that made the
game quite exciting and very in
teresting. During the half, the
ROTC band was on parade, and
they looked fine. An addition to
the color of the band, Eleanor Will
let's and Frank Bradley dressed
as clowns, tumbled alongside the
formation, and were quite inter-
esting to watch. Speaking of Flea
nor, l know you will be sorry to
hear that she has been a patient at
the James Walker hospital, where
she underwent an operation this
past weekend. But she'll soon be
up and in circulation again.
Saunders was the mecca for col
lege students and high school peo-
pie alike Thanksgiving weekend.
Saw Alan Spivey who is a student
at the college extension along with
some of the gang like Jack Per-
kins, Francis Chadwick, Eugene
Edwards, and Douglas Trent. Shir-
ley Brown, Kathryn Kester, Anne
-Harriss, Permelia Wheatley, Alan
Blake, Bill Montgomery, Tiny
Sparkman, Whitley Aud, Jay Car
ter, and Anna Kamer were just a
few who scould be seen in down
town Wilmington. And it sho' was
fine to see all of them back on
Front street.
Congratulations to Anne Harriss
and Leon Harrell who will become
Mr.. and Mrs. during the Christmas
holidays. The wedding date has
been set for December ii. To them
go all my wishes and hopes for
nothing but happiness in their fu-
ture to come. And these two GER
tajnly deserve the best.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 25.-The
New York State Federation Of
Labors decision against indorse-
ment of either Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey or Senator Mead was inter
preted today by supporters of the
rival gubernatorial candidates as
victory for their respective causes.
A 25-man Nonpartisan Committee
of the State AFL, which claims
100000 members, announced the
no Endorsement" policy in the
November election yesterday after
a four-hour session because, the
committee said. both candidates
have excellent" labor records.
Republican leaders quickly inter-
preted the move as a strategic VIC
tory for Gov. Dewey, pointing out
that the Federation had Endorsed
every Democratic gubernatorial can.
didate since 1924 except in the 1928
campaign when no Endorsement was
made.
COP leaders also pointed to the
Federation's indosement of Senator
Mead in his 1888 and 1910 senatorial
campaign and the Endorsement OF
Democrat John J. Bennett, jr.. who
unsuccessfully opposed Dewey for
Governor four years ago.
A leader of the Mead faction in
the State AFL, Anthony A. Capone,
president of the Rochester Central
Trades and Labor Council, declared
in a statement the reimbursement
action was partial victory"
He said the committee was pre-
vented from indorsing Gov. Dewey
by "the ground swell of public opin-
ion inside of the AFL.
The New York CIO, which claims
membership of 100000, recently in
dorsed the entire Democratic ticket
headed by Mead.

fascinated group of reporters listened
to them reminisce.
Col. Greening, who was one OF
Doolittles Tokyo fliers, had been
shot down over Vesuvius in July
1943. On October / of that year
he was on prison train approach
ing Brenner Pass en- route to Ger
many when it was bombed by Amer
ican aircraft. He escaped, obtained
clothes and took a train south. He
dropped off near Verona fearing to
ride on into such a big city. He
knocked at the back door of farm
house.
The family took him in and called
in Miss Peduzzi because she could
speak English. To help an American
was death if discovered, but her
father came by with two bicycles
and the colonel and he peddled to a
friends house in the hills. That
family kept him 81 days.
"A Son to Them"
They ask for you Ross" Miss
Peduzzi said yesterday. You are a
son to them. The mother said before
I left, If I could only see Col. Green
ing I would be willing to die"
Il remember" said Col. Greening
when she came running into that
cold room where I spent all that
time, crying for me to run because
the Fascist were searching the
house. I got her Gained down, then
walked downstairs in that great
green coat she had given me. There
was the leader of the Fascist, a big
man in a black cape.
Those black capes were impressive.
They kinda got me- But I said,
'Buon giorno' good day. to him
and walked out"
Col. Greening came down from the
hills and lived above the Peduzzi's s
little restaurant for two weeks, wait
ing for word to come back from the
Partisans at the border that they
would pass him through. Col. Green
ing did get into Yugoslavia, where he
was captured by the Germans after
four months of living in caves. Miss
PeduzZi rode to the border with him,
sitting a few seats away, at his in
so that If he were taken
she and her family would not be
punished.
Miss Peduzzi, who came over
alone, expects to stay here. She is
an American citizen and she is hop

A minor action today spurred
the congressional campaign as
Republicans countered with a
whose fault is it?" to Presi-
dents Truman's assertion that
the country is "in Just as great
an emergency" as the day Pearl
Harbor was attacked.
Getting into the fight to retain
Democratic control of Senate and
House for the first time, President
, Truman yesterday slammed away
at the opposition with charge of
"obstructionist tactics" as he told
80 congressional candidates from II
States that the party program of
peace and production" must be
put over for the welfare of the
Nation and the world, and that this
can be assured only by election Of
a Democratic Congress.
Il don't see how any voter who
thinks at all could vote for the
Reece- Taft Crawford program" he
asserted. The reference was to
B. Carroll Reece, Republican ma
tional chairman; Senator Taft of
Ohio and Representative Crawford,
Michigan, Republican leaders in
the fight to curb the OPA.
Mr. Reece was not long in an
swering:
IF we are in as great an emer-
gency as Mr.. Truman indicates,
whose fault is it? he asked.
He and his administration have
been in power with overwhelming
majorities in both branches of Con-
gress. No leadership has been in
evidence. Mr.. Truman is simply in
water over his head"
Representative Crawford also was
quick to reply, issued the following
statement at Saginaw, Mich:
III the first place, Mr.. Truman
should have before this time realized
that plans made in 1914 are now
obsolete. In the second place, we
have been floundering around under
Truman's policies for more than a
year since major hostilities ceased
and unfortunately we still have
strikes and production is so low that
the President himself seems to be
greatly concerned about the absence
of sufficient supply of consumers
goods and services.
I'm the third place, he should be
concerned because of the revolt
which is now sweeping the country
in protest against the absence Of
these goods and against his program
of controlled economy.
I'm the fourth place, the public
now realizes that production and
distribution of goods and services
and the desire therefor is not a
private monopoly of either Demo-
Gratis or Republicans
I'm the fifth place it is time for
Mr.. Truman to comprehend that
the various international obligations
which we have made previously will
fall by the wayside unless we do
have full employment and produc-
ton in the United States under the
private enterprise system and with
out Interference by the planned
economists of Washington"
The congressional candidates were
the third group of Democratic
nominees brought to Washington by
the National Committee to discuss

Truman Tells Unesco
Group He Seeks Unity
In u. s., World Peace

President Truman today described
his aim as peace in the world and
unity at home
These are the "only two things
in the world I want" the President
told members of the National Com
mission on Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Cooperation who
called at the White House today.
The commission is meeting here
to frame recommendations for guild
ance of the American delegation to
the United Nations Educational
Scientific and Cultural Organization
in Paris in November. The meet
ing ends tomorrow.
Assistant Secretary of State Will
liam Benton introduced the dele
gates to the President and then Mr.
Truman was photographed with
them in the rose garden of the
White House.
Seen Aid to Peace.
Mr.. Truman said he thought the
commission, can, if it will, contri-
butte as much as any organization
of the United Nations to the peace
of the world"
He stressed its role in creating
understanding between nations
pointing out that understanding
would bring international harmony
just as it does national harmony in
this country.
1--WE don't have any insoluble diff
ferences between the 48 States, be-
cause we understand each other
the President said
Lacking understanding and educa-
ton there can be no peace, the
President said.
The commission faces conflict
ing views between Mr.. Benton and
specialist committee on projected
UNESCO radio activities.
Committee Report Presented.
Mr.. Benton presented the COM
mittee's report, prepared by group
of consultants named by him, to
the commission late yesterday with
the statement of his belief that
1t "underrates the value of UNESCO
broadcasting in contrast to other
proposed activities"
The committee recommended that
UNESCO arrange for Voice of the
United Nations" radio periods on
established stations to promote in
ternational understanding rather
than attempt now to set up its own
international radio network in view
of the technical and operational diff
flculties. Mr.. Benton said, however,
that worldwide United Nations
radio network lis the big chance for
UNESCO."
Milton S. Eisenhower, president
of Kansas State College and a
brother of Gen. Eisenhower, was
elected chairman of the commission
late yesterday. Vice chairmen in
clude: Edward W. Barrett, editorial
director of Newsweek magazine;
Arthur H. Compton, chancellor of
Washington University at st. Louis,
and Waldo c. Leland, director of the
American Council of Learned

do you remember, Ross, when
you asked me what the sign on the
tree in front of my fathers little
restaurant said?" the blond young
woman in vivacious conversation at
the Hotel Raleigh recalled yester-
day.
And I translated it to you that
the German commandant at Verona
was offering 1000 lire for any
American soldier arrested and then

Spent Childhood in New York.
The young woman was Miss
Nellie Peduzzi from Pescantina in
Verona Province. Italy. She ar
rived by ship Wednesday in New
York, where she had spent her
childhood. On Monday she stopped
in the Office of the international
Committee of the YMCA, where she
explained that this was the only
address she had for Col. Greening,
whom she had helped escape from
Italy. She had his diary which had
been buried behind her house.
Miss Peduzzi did not know it, but
she was in the Office of Terry Dona-
hue, one of New York's most vigor-
GUS press agents, who had been
publicizing the tour of Col Green
ing's exhibition of prisoner f-war
handicrafts under YMCA auspices
which ended in Washington last
week.
Mr.. Donohue instructed his assist
ant, Mrs. Jean Johnson, to take Miss
Peduzzi to Washington by plane
and surprise Col. Greening at a
party at the Raleigh Hotel, marking
the close of the exhibition.
He Read 1t in the Papers.
The first Col. Greening knew about
1t was when he saw the Washington
papers. The blowout was to have
been a stag affair, but Col Green
