Italy In A Fix

As the British sweep onward coward Ben
gasi and the Greeks repel desperate Italian
counter-attacks en- the Albanian front it be-
comes increasingly evident that whatever aid
Hitler has sent to Mussolini has been insult
ficient to restore the 'fbalance'' in the Medi-
terranean.
German dive bombers have attacked Brit
ish naval units with some success, but these
assaults nave not been continued. Whether the
reason is that the losses suffered were too
heavy or that the British are staying out OF
reach it is obvious that these tactics have
not affected the situation on either main front.
Since that is the case, it is a self-evident
before it is too late he will have to move
much more rapidly and effectively than he
has so far. A few airplane squadrons, even
1000 technicians in Libya and some regiments
of soldiers in Albania, will not do the job.
It is interesting, in these circumstances. to
read the dispatches from Berne to the effect
that Germany is fast losing patience with
Italian weakness and is now insisting that her
wishes be followed. In particular, the Ger
mans want Marshal Badoglio reinstated and
they are preempting for themselves Italian
claims on France, including Bizerte.
These dispatches may explain the ineffec-
tiveness Of German help so far. If 50, the
possibility of a break between the partners
in the Axis is greater than either would like
to admit. There is at least a chance that, in
this dilemma, Italy would prefer peace to Ger
man domination.

Control Of Plants

President Roosevelt's press conference COM
ment that the government has power to take
over any plant in the interests of national de-
tense, and his observation that patents are as
important to the defense program as produc-
ton facilities, are a sign of which Way the
wind is blowing. Increasing federal control
over the nations industrial system in on the
way.
That is to say, it is coming unless the need
can be met without it. American industry must
prove its loyalty by taking extreme care in
using the strike weapon, or the government
will step in to clear the path. Much as we
dislike it, we must face the plain facts.
However, the administration has shown con-
siderable reluctance to clamp down" on
either industry or labor, and this means that
it realizes that the support of public opinion
is necessary before it can 60 farther. There
are, then, certain limits to it's powers.
The situation which brought out the Presi.
dents remarks is a good example of how et-
fective these limits are. What Mr.. Roosevelt
said was in answer to a question concerning
the right of the government to take over the
Ford plant in the interest of national defense.
His reply was that any plant can be taken
over in such circumstances.
It is to be noted that the Ford plant has
not been taken over. Instead, the contract it
refused, because it contained a labor clause,
has been awarded elsewhere. This is wise,
because the public would not back up the
administration if it were to take drastic action
on such grounds. The belief that the defense
program should not be used arbitrarily is too
strong to be denied.

Parking And Business

Pittsburgh finds that, despite its populauon
increase during the last decade, fewer per
sons enter the downtown business district now
than ten years ago, and attributes the decrease
to inadequate parking facilities.
There is some consolation for Wilmington IN
the knowledge that as big a city as Pitts
burgh has not found the solution Of its park
ing problem, but we may ali be forgiven II,
when we are driving hither and yon hunting
for a place at the curb for our cars, we find
small solace in that fact.
But Pittsburgh's downtown merchants are
deeply troubled because their trade has not
increased in proportion to the population
growth and look upon the arrival of %neighbor-
hood shopping districts as a definite menace
to their business.
Here is something Wilmington's merchants
could wrestle with to advantage now, while
the city is still comparatively small. Obvious
ly, if the city grows as rapidly as present
conditions indicate that it will, they will find
themselves in the situation OF Pittsburgh's
merchants and nave to meet the competition
of expanding neighborhood trade areas. Park
ing in Wilmington is already a serious prob
lem. A solution for it discovered now will
have inestimable value later or.
Parking lots maintained by groups OF mer-
chants, with the parking fee refunded upon
presentation of purchase slips, might be the
best way out. It is being tried on South Front
street and probably would be more successful
with greater exploitation. There are available
spaces-not as many as could be desired, but
a few-at the rear Of stores, accessible by
alleys, use of which might be obtained for the
parking of customers autos. This would not
meet the full need but at least would relieve
parking congestion somewhat. More use Of the
open spaces at the river end Of east-west
streets which have been opened by the city
administration for public use, also would help.
But il is obvious that the merchants them
selves will have to take the initiative, if they
are to avoid the distress experienced by Pitts
burgh's harried business men.

And I know his Kleinchen, which

Well, as I say, these notes were
about another party given by
mighty siegfried for his exguards-

a beauty. After it got going good
Melchior brought out one of his
rifles. They thought they would
have a little fun shooting a few
targets. They stationed a guard"
at the elevator with a white flag
to warn the guests. BANG! An
other target bit the dust. BANG!
BANG! 1t was like Billy the Kid.
Next day, according to hotel
gossip, Mrs. Melchior took cake
and other refreshments around to
the guests in the hotel. Yes, she
said, Lauritz and some of his
friends had made a little noise
the night before. She hoped they
hadn't been too much of a bother.
And she smiled. Mrs. Lauritz is
an accomplished actress. And she
is the wife of the worlds greatest
Siegfried. OF course it was all
right. The guests said it was all
right even before she promised
that it would not happen again.

AS To Aluminium

Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming complains
that aluminium is unavailable in sufficient
quantities to keep the defense program NOV
ing, that manufacturers of airplanes cannot
get enough of the metal to keep their output
up to par, because aluminium interests are
purposely keeping the supply down.
Taking up the challenge on behalf of the
Aluminium Company Of America, the maya
zine american Metal Market" denies that
there is irregularity in the supply, that the
controlling company is giving priority to gov
eminent contracts and that shortages a
chiefly in deliveries to manufacturers engaged
on private, or civilian, orders.
Whatever deficiencies have been noted in
deliveries to plane factories filling government
orders, the magazine explains. have been due
to a multiplicity of orders for special parts
which require time for completion. IF h

torial in the magazine under date of January

there fatty are not enough to go around ~
The case is similar to what would happen il
all the people in New York should try to ride
the subway at the same time-'they cannot
tal) get on"
The answer we are told, to all charges as
to a deficiency Of aluminium products for any
war purpose is that '@there is no shortage,
properly speaking, and none is impending"
The magazines viewpoint obviously is that
Senator O'Mahoney and his associates have
not taken the trouble to acquaint themselves
with the whole situation, but have raised a
cry merely because they have heard that
some manufacturers have been slowed down
as a result of the unprecedented demand
created by the defense program. This view
can apply with equal purpose to much of the
criticism melted out to many groups engaged
in the nations great rearmament effort.
Less criticism and more understanding
would halt much of the wild talk of bottle

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-R-Th e
worlds number one Wagnerian
tenor is Lauritz Melchior. He has
sung Siegfried more than 100
times, Tannhauser more than a
hundred and five, Lohengrin near
ly seventy.
He is a great huge bulk of a
man, massive in body, ponderous
in stride. Before the wal he lived
(perhaps still does, officially on
a hunting preserve in Germany.
His home is a castle occupied
formerly by robber barons, and
next to singing Wagner, hunting
big game is his greatest pleasure.
But Melchior is a Dane, and once
he was a member Of the Danish
royal guards. Every year, in ap-
propriate season, those ex-Danish
guardsmen who are in this country
flock to his apartments in tn e
Ansonia hotel for a celebration.
Recently there appeared in the
Manhattan newspapers many pho
tographs of the Melchiors at home,
entertaining some 20 former mem
bers of Denmark's royal guard.
One Of these was Jean Hersholt,
the famed movie actor. The pho
tographer had caught them in
many intriguingly informal poses,
such as slicing hams and making
war on various targets throughout
the apartment with an "air" rifle.
Please note that I have put
quotes around the word air"
Maybe it was an air rifle. But the
muzzle looked large enough to
drop a pencil through it.
When I saw these pictures I was
on my way to Madison Square
Garden, but somehow I remem-
bered an old story in my files, an
earlier Melchior story, one that I
had intended using but had filed
away and promptly forgotten.
So I gave up the idea of the
Garden and began ransacking my
files. After an hour or so I found
