PRESIDENT COMING THIS WAY

president ROOSEVELT told a North Carolina
L DELEGATION that he wants to fish OH our
eastern shores at no distant date-posslbly In
June. The delegation reports a very satisfac'
tory interview at the White House and has
"every expectation" that the President will
come this way for relaxation and sport.
North Carolina has long wanted to introduce
Mr.. ROOSEVELT to its anglers paradise. Now
that the coveted opportunity looms it is ap-
propriate and eminently fitting to point out
that Wilmington, the largest coastal city in the
state, with greater communication facilities,
the safest and best harbor and greatest accom-
modations for distinguished guests is best
qualified to act as host to the Presidential
party.
Furthermore, Wilmington proudly points to
it's fishing club, among the largest in the
country, as in a singularly appropriate posi-
ton to map the Presidents excursions into the
Atlantic fishing grounds. Also, Wilmington is
at it's best in the role Of host.
We have, in this contemplated trip Of the
President, an outstanding chance to show our
stuff. Let's get unitedly on the job, through the
civic and all other organizations, and impress
Mr.. ROOSEVELT with our advantages so con-
vincingly that he will insist on establishing
headquarters here.

R 0 HERE-WHERE?

Britain's Prime Minister CHAMBERLAIN, emer-
ging from the inquest" of the House of Com
mons with a modest blessing, owes his sue
cess in this great crisis to WINSTON CHURCHILL
who, in the closing hours of debate, took full
responsibility for the failure of the expedition
to Norway in a speech that must have weighed
heavily on his heart and must have imposed
a heavy tax upon his mind.
\. In the circumstances, and considering the
comparatively small margin by which the
premier won a vote of confidence, it is OBJ
vious that Mr.. CHURCHILL will have to make
sensational changes in his war policy and do
something spectacularly effective to stop
HITLER, if he is to regain the full confidence of
the British people and enjoy the advantage of
their unfagging moral support in the war.
The CHAMBERLAIN government remains, but
the Norwegian defeat still fingers in the
minds of the masses.
However, the shouting and the umult in the
House are history now, and we come to the
question: "Where do we go from here" Nor.
way, for the time being, is lost and it's bitter
pill swallowed. What is to be done to counter
act its effect and Offset the advantage the Nazis
enjoy as q result of that fasco? What will Brit
ain do, what, particularly, will Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN do, to restore the morale Of his people
and the fighting power of the Allied forces
One thing that he may do is to shakeup the
cabinet. Sir JOHN SIMON, chancellor of the ex
chequer; Sir SAMUEL HoARE, air minister;
OLIVER STANLEY, secretary of war and LESLIE
BuRe1N, supply minister, are in disfavor. Prob
ably they will go, although it is nor apparent
that their removal alone will do all that is
needed. It may be that personnel has not been
so much to blame for past failures as the

ment would function in unison.
The Norwegian failure seems to have stem
med from this lack of consolidation. The fault
was in strategy. Airforce, navy and army were
not working together-not as were H1TIER's
And because there was not complete cooper
alton, the Allied forces in central Norway had
to leave or be wiped out. Surely with H1rLER's
example to profit by, and the proved effective
ness of unity among military branches, the

of his sightseeing tour.
He saw the senate in session. 1t was some.
thing of a letdown, particularly after such i'm
pressive spectacles as the black-robed justices
of the supreme court in their marble temple, and
the Lincoln memorial with its life-like statue.
Not that Visitor Jones thinks the senators
failed to comport themselves as members of "the
greatest deliberative body in the world" It's
just that they don't look so great.
To Jones they look just about the same as
the fellows in the Rotary club. And Jones re-
calls reading in his boyhood of "the frock-coat-
ed gladiators of the national political arena"
In those days-the early 1900's-most of the
senators wore Prince Alberts and boards. News
paper correspondents wore silk hats and frock
coats to the opening session.
Them Were The Days
Long before the late James Ham" Lewis was
recognized as the ~senate's undisputed Sultan of
Sartoria, there were Beau Brummels like Mon
tana's William A. Clark, copper king and ex-
Indian fighter, immaculate in one-button cut
away and striped trousers, and Mississippis
James K. Vardaman,m magnificent in a white fan
mel suit and white hat contrasting with his coal
black hair.
There was Jeff Davis of Arkansas, known as
the sartorial DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde of the
Senate. In Washington he wore the conventional
frock coat, but by the time he reached his hills
he had on suited boots, a frayed straw hat and
patched pants.
Massachusetts, blue-blooded Henry Cabot
Lodge, with a perfectly-trimmed Van Dyke and
frock coat, and South Cardinals "Pitchfork Ben
Tillman, in a long black alpaca coat majestical-
ly swinging a palm-leaf fan, used to be sights.
In the late twenties, Senator Lee Overman
of North Carolina, wore a black cape with vel

The arrival of summer in Washington then VISA
heralded by Heflin's cream-colored pongee suit.
Even Louisiana Huey Long came to the capital
with a new morning coat.

HOW to EAT to BEAT the HEAT

Twelve slices whole wheat bread.
Two cups cooked whole grain ce-

Not a very appetizing diet, IF

does teach us a few things. For
instance, that the less money you
have to spend for food the more
important milk and whole grain

have at least one-half of the cereal
whole grain. Next, add the less ex-
pensive varieties of green and leafy
vegetables, potatoes and fruits.
Important also, especially if the
amount of milk is reduced, is the
addition of eggs, meat, fish, or poul-
try. Meat is the most costly item
but, fortunately, you can eat well
without meat every day.
Meat substitutes such as eggs,
dried vegetables, nuts and cheese
may very well be used. The organs

AIR TRAINING AREA

Dear Sir:
We see by the Monday dispatches
from Washington that sweeping
changes in Americas military policy
are expected. In other words, the
defense of the nation is to be re-
vamped to conform with new ideas
created by the developments in the
warning countries.
Listed as No. 2 in four great
changes, is a great increase in the
air forces and training. There is
also to be re-equipment of land
forces .
1t strikes us, with apologies for
not being an authority on war. that
one of the essentials to the re-
equipment of Fort Bragg would be
to have a plane base, or at least a
seaplane training ground to rive as
an outpost on the coast of North
Carolina.
Whether or not such a base or
training would be considered among
the re-equipment of Fort Bragg, it
stands to reason that additional
training areas will be required fol-
planes on the coast. By reaso of its
shipping and the more or less linn
tied harbor, Wilmington is hardly
likely to be considered for extensive
use by seaplanes and amphibians.
If this assumption IS correct, this
leaves Southport farbor as not only
available for use; it is two-thirds
nearer the center Of North Carolina
population and industry than any
other harbor which troop transports
or warships could enter on the North
Carolina coast.
The Brunswick county Chamber
of Commerce is asking the War de.
partment to consider the Southport
harbor in the new order of things
and e If it Is not adapted to per-
manent use in the scheme of nation.
al defense. At least as a training
ground for planes.
We would appreciate it if the Will
mington Civic organizations would
join with us in trying to interest
Washington. The matter is of about
as much Importance to Wilmington
as it is to Southport. We will ap-
preciate any copies Of any comniu-
nications that are directed to Wash
ington in this matter.

Right or Wrong
About People
BY DONALD A. LAIRD,
Ph.D., Sci.D.

Now here is a question which
requires all the honesty we can
muster to discuss. We should
expect men to say that men are
more honest, and women to say
that the fairer sex is the more
honest sex. Strangely, how
ever, that is not what we find.
Last evening, for instance, I
asked this same question OF
woman librarian who has work.
ed in libraries both in mems
and in women's colleges. She
said with considerable feeling
that more books turned up miss
ing in the women's colleges.
That in the same places more
pages were surreptitiously torn
out of the books, more fines for
overdue books avoided by in
genious excuses.
This rather shocked me, so I
consulted DR.. J. Larson, author
of Lying and Its Detection"
to find what this expert had to
report.
DR.. Larson cited a great deal
of material which can be all
summed up by saying that it
is difficult to say which sex
does the most lying because they
do an entirely different kind of
lying.
Men come right out directly
with bald-faced lie.
Women, in contrast, seldom
lie directly but make evasive
answers, misleading gestures,
and in general send others off
on a false trail without COM
ing out in the open with a tam
gible lie.
Mems lies are easier to detect
since they are crude, while
women's lies are made with
such finesse and mostly by i'm
plication so it is difficult to trip
them up. The ultimate result,
of course, is that it is more diff
ficult for the actual truth to be
extracted from a woman.
Women's may not be bigger
liars, but apparently they are
better ones.
These modern lie detector in
struments are their nemeis, for
the sensitive record tape trips
up the oblique lie Of a woman
just as readily as the direct lie
of the man. Hardened liar and
nervous amateur both meet
their match in these machines,
just as the man liar meets
more than his equal when he
tries to out-mislead his better
half.
