15 Wake Forest and N. C. State will hold their 1943 version of the "battle for the championship of Wake before approximately 12,000 cash customers here at 8 p.m. tomorrow. The game probably will be one of the best of the day, as both teams are made up of 17-yearolds and 4-Fers and neither squad has much advantage in either weight or experience.

Although they have lost all of the three games played to date, Wake Deacons are given a slight edge over the State Wolfpack. The Deacons have about a half dozen men who were on the squad last year, while the 'Pack have a single player with prior college experience. Probable starting lineup: Forest N. C.

Before voting the foreign spending inquiry, the Senate Appropriations committee heard from Senator Mead one of the senators who toured the war fronts. McKellar, asked about the scope of the investigation, said. think the country will be satisfied with Several committeemen added they thought it would cover the extent of American Lend Lease commitments abroad, complaints that American goods have been reshipped by Great Britain to other countries bearing British labels, the nature and extent of reciprocal aid or pledges of repayment from countrires receiving Lend-Lease ai and complaints of the globe cirline has been shipped abroad for civilian use. Meanwhile, it was reported in executive offices that Great Britain and the United States are in the process of re-forming LendLease policies. Parallel statements from the two governments may be issued soon.

Two years ago when the British formally detailed their use of LendLease, it was said, they needed dollar credits more than they do now, and at that time it was agreed that the United States would pay cash for certain raw materials purchased from British interests. Now, however, Britain has proposed to include these materials in reciprocal Lend-Lease, as Edward R. Stettinius, then LendLease administrator, told Congress recently. The same sources who told of a forthcoming statement of AngloAmerican policy also said a agreement exists between the two countries not to try to take commercial advantage of war conditions at the expense; for example, not to try to capture the foreign markets. Senator Mead reportedly favored letting the Truman committee pursue the Lend Lease inquiry alone.

WILDCATS MAUL GOLDSBORO, 28-0 IS FIRST LOOP WIN FOR LOCAL SCHOOL ELEVEN Quarterback Dyches Gallops 60 Yards To Touchdown GOLDSBORO, Oct. 15. (Special) A slightly shaken Goldsboro Earthquake eleven trotted off the field tonight on the wrong end of a 28-0 score after four quarters of persistent mauling by the Wildcats of New Hanover High school at Wilmington.

It was the first conference victory of the seasoh for the undefeated Wildcats who last week held Rocky Mount to a 12-12 tie. JLUICC 115 The New Hanover High school eleven rolled down the field for three touchdowns in the first half, with Quaterback Ronald Dyches in the seat, and the second and third teams punched over the final marker in the last quarter. The closest the Earthquakes came to pay dirt was the 30-yard line where the Wildcat forward wall held and the ball went over on downs. Dyches, who spearheaded the Wilmington drives and made reverses and line bucks count for the needed yardage in the clutch, was the leading ground gainer in the night contest. In the second quarter he smashed squarely through the center of the line to travel, behind excellent blocking.

60 yards for the second touchdown. The first score or the evening came well into the first period as the climax to a 50 yard drive by the invaders. Dyches went over for the touchdown and Fullback Bill Mcllwain converted, only to have the extra point try nullified by a penalty. On the second try, Whitey Auld pegged a short pass to Mayhan for the point. Mcllwain successfully booted the point after 60-yard jaunt in the second quarter and, a few plays later, the driving for paydirt again, Dyches punched over from the three, Mcllwain sent his third placekick of the evening through the standards and the score stood at 21-0 at the half.

After a listless third quarter, with frequent substitutions from the Wilmington bench, the second string squad, with Symmes, Biddle and Sutton alternating with the ball, punched over the final score and Mcllwain again converted. The completed four out of five passes attempted. -V DRIVER FINED FOR SPEEDING Six Months Sentence Suspended Upon Payment Of Penalty Eugene Freeze, 21-year-old white shipyard worker, was fined $50 and the costs and sentenced to six months on the roads in court Friday after Recorder H. Winfield Smith found him guilty of reckless operation and speeding 80 miles an hour. The recorder suspended the road sentence for two years on the condition that the youth pay the fine and cost and voluntarily surrender his license for one year, which he did.

Dewitt Hinson, 32-year-old white truck driver, pled guilty to the charge of double parking an oil transport truck with the motor running in the 400 block on Market street Thursday. He was fined the costs of court. Joseph Henry, 16-year-old Negro youth, charged with temporary larceny of an automobile which he allegedly stole from Fred Burney, was released after the case was nol prossed by Solicitor J. A. McNorton.

William A. Griffith, 20-year-old white man, was fined $25 and costs after being found guilty of the charge of speeding 40 miles an hour in a 25-mile zone. The case against Eddie Wilson, Negro, was dismissed at the conclusion of evidence upon the motion of the defense attorney. Sufficient evidence was found lacking. Wilson was charged with assault with a deadly weapon when he allegedly attacked Ismel Mitchel, another Negro, with a fruit jar.

Lend-Lease appropriations totalling approximately $24,000,000,000. Senator Butler who asked an investigation eight months ago, said he was satisfied. Butler had referred to ciLease, under which the Un ited States has aided almost 50 other nations with war and civilian supplies as the colossal dole of all and said public confidence in the program wouid not be restored until the people were given more information about n.

WRESTLING RESULTS With a rough-house start which continued throughout the entire match, Pete Mannagoff wangled a victory over Tom George, burly Greek subbing for Fred Dunn, at the Thalian Hall mat show Friday night. Mannagoff won the first fall with ease after toying with the stocky George but the second affair ended quickly when George was disqualified for unfair tactics. Jimmy Coffield won a two-outof-three falls match over A1 Masseyy. GREEK GUERILLA UNITS HIT NAZIS (Continued From Page One) Athens, was reported killed. The province of Thessaly in central Greece saw fighting between German and Greek patriot forces in the Tempe valley and Nazi planes were machinegunning villages in the Volos and Laris areas west of In Yugoslavia, where Marshal Erwin Rommel was reported taking over the German command, street fighting was said to be enveloping Zenica 150 miles west of Belgrade on the Bosnia river in what the Germans call the Bosnian Ruhr.

Power stations and Mast furnaces of the Krupp factories were reported destroyed when guerillas smashed into the town four days ago. In easternr Bosnia other Yugoslav forces occupied the lumber industry center of Zivnica near Tuzla. Yugoslav informants here scoffed at reports that Josip (Tito) Broz, leader of the Partisans, and Gen. Draa Mihailovic. the government-in-exile's war minister, were near a union of their armies.

two forces are further apart than they ever have Yugoslav leaders said. Nevertheless Yugoslav officials in Cairo, where King Peter has gone to await an Allied offensive, branded as untrue a report that Mihailovic had said his forces had not fought and would not until the Allies landed divisions in Yugoslavia. Both British and Germans were said to be rushing fresh reinforcements into the Dodecanese. Aegean island pathway into the Balkans. The situation was still unclear since no official reports have been issued by the Allies but unconfirmed accounts from Turkey said the Germans had reoccupied the islands of Kos and Castelrosso after the British had seized them from Greek island, Samos, to the north, were also reported held by the British but imperiled by the loss of the airfields on Kos and Castelrosso.

The British have also been reported in the Cyclades islands in the Greek archipelago. Battles Eschman Monday Sgt.

Hitlerite counter attacks were repulsed with heavy losses to the the communique said. Northward at Zaporozhe the last remnants of German troops were cleaned from the east bank and at least 1,500 were reported drowned in the Dnieper as they southeast of Zaporozhe. Other Russian columns fighting their way southward along the railway that leads through Melitopol to the Crimea, captured six populated places and five railway towns, including Plavni, 17 miles southeast of aporozhe. More than 1,000 Germans fell, 22 tanks were destroyed and 20 guns captured before the end of the day in that sector, the bulletin said.

The Germans are being dislodged from one line after another, a Tass dispatch said. In one sector 67 out of 100 attacking German tanks were knocked out and the Nazi infantry, deprived of its tank cover, fled in disorder.

Many of them ere wiped out as the Russians followed up and captured valuable positions, said the communique. German attempts to bomb temporary bridges across which the Russians were pouring supplies were thwarted by Soviet fighting planes. In the White Russia fighting the Germans launched several counter-attacks south of Gomel trying to force the Russians off the western bank of the Sozh river. After more than 800 Germans were killed the Germans withdrew and the Russians moved up to improve their positions, Moscow said. 7 VITAL NAZI WAR PLANT WIPED OUT (Continued From Page One) results of this attack eventually will be apparent in a shortage of German tanks, planes, guns and armored vehicles on the Russian, Mediterrarnean and Western fronts and in a slowdown in submarine The raiding crews were told before they took off that a successful completion of their mission might shorten the war by six months, another indication of the importance attached to the target by the American command.

That the Germans placed a similarly high assessment on the Schweinfurt plant was seen in the strength of their defenses. The heavy bombers had to blast their way through what a USAAF authority described as stiffest and fiercest fighter opposition in the history of aerial An authoritative USAAF source said that photographs taken over the target indicated of the closely packed factory buildings situated on the banks of the main river at Schweinfurt. Gen. LeMay in an interview at bombardment headquarters asked: other method of warfare could be used to destroy that much war effort with a loss of GOO Similarly, Gen. Arnold in Washington stressed the effect of the raid and said it was a major operation against a attack on Schweinfurt was not merely a spectacular air he said.

was an engagement between large armies a major campaign. In a period of a few bourse we invaded German held Europe to a depth of 500 miles, sacked and crippled one of her most vital The Germans in their version of the raid acknowledged heavy damage at Schweinfurt, but they claimed a great air victory. After first broadcasting last night that they had shot down 70 of the attacking bombers, today they raised the total to 100, then 123 and finally to 139. They estimated that 300 bombers took part and said that therefore 50 per of the raiders were shot down. The Germans boasted of employing a new which theyy said spread a smoke screen and confused the bombers, but none of the returning crewmen reported having seen anything resembling such a weapon.

The Germans said also that were used effectively, explaining that this in dissolving massed aerial battle into innumerable Several of the returrning pilots reported meeting the slow, twinengined rocket carrying fighters which have been appearing lately, and they seemed to have been out in considerable numbers. The reports, however, chiefly concerned the flak of 20 millimeter cannon and machinegun fire: old standbys in the Nazi aerial arsenal. 7 VOLTURNO FRONT CRACKING (Continued From Page One) Allied right flank are reportec meeting with relatively meagre re sistance as they enlarge their grii on the northeastern slope of the peninsula. They now appear tc have cleared the whole length 01 the Vichiaturo-Termoli road as we! as having forced the Biferno line at various points and turned its sea flank by leap-frog landings north of its mouth betweern Termol: and Vasto. There is no intimation from any official Allied source that the cam paign in Italy is being delayec seriously by Nazi rear-guard ac tion.

On the contrary, much sug gests that it is well ahead of the expected schedule despite the figh for the Salerno beaches, the time necessary to pry the enemy loose from Naples and the work across the Volturno. The primary military objectives of that campaign obviously are tc secure close-up bases in Italy foi future air action against Germany or against the Nazi-held Greek peninsula and the Balkans. That has been done and the cost to the Nazis of that Allied success will be cumulatively apparent as the bombs begin to fall in Rumania and on Nazi war plants in south eastern Germany. There may be good and sufficient political reasons to press the march on Rome at the most rapid pace possible with due regard tc military prudence and the minimizing of Allied battle casualties. It is true also that air bases aboul Rome would cut the distance tc vulnerable Nazi war industries jusl that much.

In a strictly military sense, however, the Italian campaign has already accomplished its prime purpose. It has made two-front air warfare on Germany possible and one Allied air veteran, Brigadier General Curtis L. Le commanding the American heavy bombardment division in Britain, is quoted as saying that would be enough to end Nazi resistance power by next spring.
