FIVE WILMINGTON MORNING NEWS, WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1941 PICKS CLAYMONT Eleven Sons in Family; Eight Eligible for Draft One to Another By WILHELMINA 6TFRIT- To the many little stories that do not fit into the more strictly classified columns of your newspaper and now and then, oh, very rarely, to a vagrant thought, is dedicated this little space. It looks as if the day of the hack song writer has arrived at last. Dig out that tender little ditty you scribbled off to the man you have now forgotten. Bring forth that throbbing sentiment you dedicated to the girl who favored you with i if I It I ji If sr an emphatic "No!" for an answer. For that which once meant more to you than money could buy, may now buy more for you, than you ever dreamed.

Ah yes! that yawning chasm of unrequited love may be but the sesame of a latent gold mine. And all because of the royality fight between the ASCAP (not a new deal measure but the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) and the BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated). Let them keep their songs off the air, we're tired of 'em anyway. If the moon hadn't stopped coming over the mountain soon we all would have been getting delirium tremens at sun down. We can stand a few songs like "Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair," "Sunshine of Paradise Alley," "My Sweetheart's The Man in the Moon," and even "Suppose She Was a Sister of Your Own?" till the amateurs get their breath and get steamed up.

And when they do! Well the songs that you will hear will be worse than those you have abhored!

Various contests are on to induce the timid composers to step forth with the hope that once in a million programs there may be a "find," that the BMI can show the ASCAP that they don't need their songs anyhow. But we wonder if the BMI is not wooing greater problems among the none professionals. For no professionally written song ever attained the popularity and success that an amateur expects for his brain child.

And if a professional song writer is willing to build his career song by song, every amateur expects fame and even fortune from one feeble melody. ft on his return from a six-weeks trip to England.

BIG FASCIST ARMY CAPTURED WHILE FLEEING BENGASI (Continued From First Page) violent bombardments of the city and its supporting airdromes, damaging "a number" of Fascist bombers, and meeting said an R. A. F.

communique not a single Italian fighter over Bengasi itself. The city Berenice to the ancients, who had thus named it for an Egyptian princess they considered more beautiful even than Cleopatra was one of the gems of the Italian Empire. More than that, it was the biggest base yet taken in the long British thrust to the west, with a normal population of more than 50.000. Its capture gave the British control of the whole of eastern Libya. Some British sources pointed out it can be used not only against the Italians remaining in Libya but also as an advanced striking base to attack the German dive-bomber nests in Sicily.

Crossing Bleak Desert Between Bengasi and Tripoli 400 airline miles to the west there are only a few inconsequential coastal towns and the British expect Grazi-ani to fall back to that ancient city with whatever men can survive to make his next and, perhaps, last stand. Graziani's plan to fall back upon Tripoli, British military sources said tonight, will be one of peril because most of the intervening territory is a bleak desert with almost no water available and because his forces even now are short of trucks and gasoline. The British communique disclosing the fall of Bengasi likewise reported that preparations for the big British offensive on Cheren. in Eritrea far to the south, were "developing satisfactorily." In Eritrea, it was stated. 3500 Italian prisoners already had been taken "with many more coming in," and the field of action was "littered" with abandoned Italian war materials.

In Italian Ethiopia, the British advance eastward along the Gon-dar Road was officially reported continuing and it was said that in that sector prisoners had been captured. On the fourth African front, in Italian Somaliland some 2.000 miles from Libya. British patrols were said to be "successfully enlarging the area of their penetration." The developing attacK on cneren, the most important maneuver in all the East African area, is intended to open the way for the seizure of the Eritrean capital of Asmara and thus, perhaps, to the fall of the whole colony to British arms.
