ministration's statement that 1t

Light Supt. Verne Kent went
direct TO the Bonneville admins
tration offices Thursday TO confer
with Administrator Paul J. Raver
and members of his technical staff.
No Public Comment
So far the Bonneville admins
trstion has offered no comment
publicly on the Tacoma expansion
plans. o'Neil has been hopeful
Bonneville would approve publicly
before final vote on the Tacoma
ordinance Ia taken by the council.
The present calendar calls for q
vote April 16-next Wednesday.
However. press association wires
carried out of Portland Thurs
day morning a statement released
by DIR. Raver saying the Bonnie

In Gov. stevens party there
were less than so. A con-
spiracy TO massacre all the
whites was being Matched by
the Yakima and Cayuse tribes,
when the powerful Nez Perce
tribe and allies moved In to
protect Gov. Stevens.
kam-i-ah-ksn, chief of the Yak
imas, had been given bad deal
by some of the whites and didn't
trust any Of them. When Gov.
Stevens attempted to tell him what
would happen If he did not sign the
treaty. ne is said to have replied.
substantially:
'If you talk hard. 1 talk hard,
too"
Throughout the neg tiations
Gov. Stevens worked virtually
with a gun at his head, but, by
conceding some minor points, he
finally induced Kam-i-ah-kan TO
sign. One of the provisions was
exemption from being required to
fight other tribes. That provision
also was included in other treaties
because the Indians feared the gov
eminent might compel the friendly
Indians to fight those who would
not conform TO the treaty regu'
lstions.
The Yakima Indians never
did like the treaty. They
thought they were "gypped."
and they probably were. Their
experience with white traders
had made them suspicious Of
all the settlers. Several timce

enforcement Of old treaty pro-
visions. but this IL said to he

Hoarding of Aluminium
Laid to Some Makers

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga meet
ing OF members of the aluminium
industry under auspices of the Ma.
tional Defense Advisory Commits
sion disclosed recently that some
manufacturers were withholding
large stocks of the metal in expec-
tation Of future shortages.
The lack Of surplus aluminium
stocks brought last week from E.
r. Settinius, Jr., priorities division
director of the Office of Production
Management, an order giving pri-
critics in the use Of the metal to
defense manufacturers and par
ticularly plane builders.
c. A. Bishop, member of the
commissions price stabilization di-
vision, presided at the meeting,
which was attended by more than
sixty members of the industry.
"The consensus was that q good
many fabricators of aluminium
products are building up scrap in
ventories which have the effect of
unbalancing the market" Mr..
Bishop said.
He said that the meeting was
told that rnanufa cturer of alum
mum products had obtained enough
metal to cover his requirements to
June, 1912. There was some evil
dence that small manufacturers
were withholding scrap, he said.

WRICHTSVlLLE HAS
PROGRAM
Great Expansion Is Antici-
.: pated In l941 AS New
" Development Grows

Wrightsville Beach, anticipating
great expansion during 1941 bota
because of natural growth and
growth expected to be engendered
by the erection of Camp Davis
and of shipyards in Wilmington,
is looking forward to one of the
best years in its history.
Perhaps the greatest expansion
is seen for the new development on
the Northern Extension, known as
North Shores. Here a syndicate
composed of Hugh MacRae and
company, Moore-Fonvielle, Fred
erick Willetts and C.. B. Parmele
during 1910 dredged out approxi-
mately 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial, created an attractive lagoon
on the edge of Wrightsville Sound,
and built and set off 40 lots.
The lots are larger than the
average lot on Wrightsville Beach,
and 30 of them face on the at
tractive lagoon which was created
by the dredging operations.
Streets Built
Here streets have been built,
water lines have been extended
and everything has been made
ready for the building program il
is felt is sure to come.
Surfacing of the streets is ex
pected to be complete by Spring
and with two houses cornpletce
and eight or 10 contemplated fo1
immediate construction, indicat tions
are North Shores will begin to b.
thickly populated during 1941.
Plans are now being made TO,
the erection of two eight apartment
houses there.
Already since the close of tn,
1910 season there has been an ex
tensive building program in effec
at the popular sea sland resort
Since the close of last seasol

in 1941, but with the addition of
the National Defense project now
in effect and anticipated within
the trade area of Wilmington, the
trend of business should be al
most perpendicularly upward.
In addition to the construction
cost of the $40, 900 Marine base,
the $10,OO0,00O Camp Davis, and
the $5,0Oo,000 shipyard, it seems
reasonable to anticipate that Will
mington can expect large part
of the $150,0o0 monthly payroll
of Camp Davis to roll into Will
mington trade channels. Approx
mately three-fourths of the work
in the completed shipyard will be
done by skilled workers living in
Wilmington and buying in its mar
ket. The completed Marine base
likewise will have an enormous
payroll, much of which may be
expected to flow in Wilmington.

THEN WERE fINKS
AND FASCISTS

Editor, The PoSt-PreSS:
No one but a fink, a fascist at heart,
one who detestS and sets himself above
labor could have written the editorial
appearing on the front page of Wednes-
days papers. The author of that poison
pen epistle asks us to trust gang of
politicians who are bleeding the whole
of us to death through Unjust taxation
and who now propose to bleed millions
of we young men to death in actualty
in a SenseleSs war to perpetuate their
uSurped power. In keeping with the
ideas manifested therein he did not give
his age or sign the work, still he keeps
hammering about him giving his life for
a worthy cause.
Your flop in policy from the anti
administration side to pro-administra-
tion is typical of many flops we have
seen in the past few years. And in not
one case of these flip-flops has an ex-
PLANTATION been given that will stand on
its own legs. / can remember when, even
less than year ago, you accused Roose-
welt of being a dictator. Did he cease
to be a dictator when about 250o of the
eligible voters of the nation voted to
retain him in November of 1910?
| am not going to waste my time an
swering poison-pen letters against labor
because you and your kind are not in
terested in the truth. You attempt to
set yourself above labor and sometime
labor shall awaken and set you away from
those who do productive work This
editorial writer attacks people who pro-
duce goods and upholds people who pro-
duce nothing, who are nothing but para
Sitic-consumers. In bee colony they
would be divided into worker and drone
groups; the drones would be given an
opportunity to start producing and if
they refused as at least twenty millions
here have done, they would be shown the
door.
The great Lincoln once said that the
man who claims to love labor but who
does not trust labor is a fool. Once. too,
