Champs Upset

Eddie Miller, the sore-armed shoItstop, who thought seriously of quitting the game this spring, and long-armed Ewell Blackwell, last years National League shutout king, conspired to upset the world champion St. Louis Cardinals in Cincinnati's filth straight home opener. The Reds won 3-1.

Arms UnificatiOh Means Merger elH

WASHINGTON, R = Senator Robertson R.-Wyo), said yester- day the pending army-navy unifi- cation bill actually would merge the two services.
 "It's merger legislation, pure and simple" the Wyoming law maker told reporter. Let's not fool ourselves about that"
 Robertson is a member Of the Senate armed services committee which in his absence Wednesday approved the bill by l2 to o vote. He said he would have voted against the measure.
 It provides for unification of the military and naval forces under a secretary of national security. The bill says specifically that there shall be no merger, a provi- sion upon which the navy insisted.
 But Robertson contended that mine lines of the bill are merger lines and it doesn't take lawyer to figure it out"
 The House armed services group already has voted to open hearings on the proposal. They probably will be started in about two weeks.

local press has allowed no oppor-
tunity to pass to impress our en-
terprizing citizens with the fact
that Wilmington can be, and should
be made a great city--the leading
seaport city of the South.
We enjoy advantages possessed
by few Southern cities. Our trans
p%ortation and shipping facilities
are unsurpassed. With railroads
leading in six directions, and the
possibility of another in the near
future, and a prominent, if not
the principal ocean shipping point
for a vast region of country, we
have even advantages over Atlanta.
and why should not manufacturing
enterprises flourish here as well as
in the "Gate City of Georgia?

and enterprise. Besides our ex-
ce7lent railroad facilities we enjoy
other desirable advantages.

The W~rightsville Beach project

began, said he called for a neigh

department when he saw the
flames were getting out of control.

furnishings but the heat was so in
