ian wants cars which get more

The CT and his officers, start
ing with Rear Adm. Ellery w.
Stone, former chief of the Allied
commission, liked the Italian girl.
They married 5000 of them, &C.
cording to official figures.
The girls they didn't marry, the
''Segnorine" as Italians called the
girls who eraternized, have mostly
disappeared. With them have gone
another famous product of the oc-
cupation - the bands of Italian
youths who ambushed and
stripped the girl, cut her hair, and
tossed her in the public fountain.
The greatest American bases
during the occupation we're Naples
and Leghorn, both supply ports.
Leghorn now is supply base for
the occupation force in Venezia
Giulia and the seat of Allied head
quarters.
When the troops leave Leghorn,
Italian feature editors will lose
Tombolo, one of their most color
full poaching grounds. Tombolo is
a pine forest between Leghorn and
Pisa. Scores of deserters, many OF
them Negroes, live there with
Italian girls. The forest is said to
be highly fortified. Press accounts
say all attempts by military po-
lice to clear it failed, although
frequent raids were made. All the
leading Italian newspapers and
magazines sent their best feature
writer's to Tombolo to do a piece
on the Tahiti Of Italy"
These are the things Italians
wildly remember. The more seri-
Gus products of the joint Anglo
American occupation included:
The first democratically elected
government in Is years.
The importation of more than
$500, 900, 900 worth Of civilian sup
plies, including food, cotton and
coal, under the military program
of "allaying disease and unrest"
behind the front.
The rebuilding of essential pub
lie utilities, railroads and bridges.

while S. Bum Frink, Southport at
torney and remaining member of
the authority, will be unable to
make the tour.
Former Governor ]. Melville
BIZ oughton. general counsel for the
authority, also expects to partlcl-
pate in a part of the trip and
invitations have been sent TO Gov.
r. Gregg Cherry and Representa-
tives J. Bayard Clark, of Fayette-
vile; Graham A. Barden, of New
Bern, and Herbert C.. Bonner, Of
Washington.
Friday morning, the survey boat
Kitty Hawk. will leave for Will
mington, thus giving the members
G, the group an opportunity to in
spect the 115-mile, eight-foot deep
upper Cape Fear river. They will
arrive here Friday night at 8
o'clock. Improvement of this sec
ton of the stream was completed
with erection of a third lock and
dam by the Corps Of Engineers
in 1885, thus assuring a year
around depth for water commerce.
While here, the authority mem
bers will tour the port with special
attention expected to be given the
shipyard tract it is interested in
acquiring. Part Of the group will
transfer to the Savannah, another
survey boat, and leave Saturday
morning to begin the voyage
through the 12-foot Inland water
way to Morehead City. Following
entertainment there that night, an
inspection OF the port will be made
and the tour will be resumed with
visits to Hatteras and Ocracoke.
Monday morning, the two craft
will leave for Manteo and, after
spending the night there, the au-
thority members will disembark
to return to their homes.
1.-THE extensive cruise and meet
ing of the authority will be quite
similar to the visitation of a board
of trustees to a state institution"
Page said.
"Since its establishment through
Legislation enacted two years ago,
the authority has been quite busy
in laying the groundwork for a
program which will eventually
place North Carolina on a parity
wifi, other coastal states j., de-
velopment and use of deep-water
commerce facilities. To do this to
the best of its ability, it is quite
necessary that all members be
quite familiar with what we have
and what must be done to develop
our waterways and tesminals.
There is no better way of doing
this, as well as keeping the whole
state informed on ports progress,
than through a tour of this type"
he added.

SIZZLING GIANTS
DEFEAT. CHICAGO

CHICAGO, May 17-PEThe red
hot New York Giants made it five
in a row when they took their third
straight from the Chicago Cubs to-
day 81. A two-run rally in the 18th
inning broke up a pitching duel
between Southpaw Dave Koslo of
the Giants and rookie Highlander
Doyle Lade of the Cubs.
The victory enabled the Giants
to move past the Cubs into second
place a half game behind the Bos-
ton Braves who took over the top
berth by whipping the St. Louis
Cardinals.

Exciting Murder-M Mystery vii
Be Staged Wednesday
Al $3.50 O'clock

Causing more excitement in To-
cal dramatic circles than any play
produced this eason is the
Thalians' latest three-act play.
"Ten Little Indians by Agatha
Christie, which will be staged
Wednesday night at $50 o'clock
in the New Hanover High school
auditorium.
AS the play goes into its final
rehearsals Monday a n d Tuesday
nights, members of the cast and
technical are rumored to be
growing excited over the intri-
casies of the murder, which
caused such a stir. when produced
on Broadway as And Then There
Were None
Using for the most part a cast
OF actors. who have not appeared
on the local stage before, Jimmy
McKoy, director, says that he is
pleased about the manner in
which the actors r performing.
The cast will include: DR.. j. B.
Hales as Rogers, Eleanor Watts
IS Mrs. Rogers, John Conway as
Fred Narracott, Julia Morton as
Vera C%laythorne, Jack Gainey as
Philip Lombard, Julian Morton as
Anthony Marston, Robert w.
Helms, Jr.. as William Blore, E.
c. Snead as General Mackenzie,
Edith Noble as Emily Brent, H.
E. Rodgers as Sir Lawrence War
grave, and Robert Redmayne as
DR.. Armstrong.
Nursery Rhyme Story
Ten Little Indians gets its
name and its theme from the old
nursery rhyme Ten Little Indi-
ans went out to dine; one go sick,
and then there were nine"
In the play, however, the title
refers to ten little Indians, actual
ly miniature dolls, which are
clustered on the mantelpiece of a
weird country house on an island
Oft the coast of Devon.
To this sinister house. eight
guests who have never met each
other and who have never met
their host, have been invited to
spend the weekend.
While the guests are settling
down to a nice weekend. a voice
comes from someplace in the
house accusing each guest and the

two house servants of murder-not
the kind of murder on which a
conviction can be made in courts,
but murder just the same.
The excitement begins when the
little Indians on the mantelpiece
begin to topple to the floor and
crash.
The very originality of the plays
plot deserves an artistic and diff
ferent setting-and working behind
the scenes, the technical crew is
supplying just that. A paint
smeared crew has constructed an
English room with a background
of broad French doors and room,
which gives the impression OF
overlooking the sea.
From rehearsal reports, the
crew has even managed to give
the room a sinister atmosphere
filled with unknown horror.
The following ITALIAN members
are directing their talents behind
the scenes:
Technical director. Hester c.
