Nomad Arab Children

ALGIERS (By MaiD 1.-The nomad
Arab children of the Sahara oases,
many of whom now are in a des-
perate state of malnutrition be-
cause of the shutting of of the
supplies they used to get from the
fertile farm lands north of the
Atlas Mountains, soon will be get
ting daily ration Of American
dried milk.
The civilian relief section OF the
American Red Cross here has Just
completed a survey OF the needs
Of these little ones in a desolate,
roadless land to which the only
practical entrance is by plane. The
distribution will be in addition to
100000 rations of milk daily now
distributed to French and Arab
children throughout the more acces-
sible parts of Algeria. This will soon
be extended to Tunisia.
A prominent part in this civilian
relief work is being taken by Miss
Aline Lamielle, 5000 block of @
street, last year secretary to Gen.
Auguste Bonavita, then Military At
tache to the French Embassy in
Washington. Previously Miss La
mielle, an American by birth, had
worked for five years in the intelli-
eence service of the French Air Min
istry, first in Paris and later in
Vichy.

she escaped into Unoccupied France,
but later, with permission, returned
to Paris to recover her belongings
left there. She was characterized as
a suspicious person by the German
customs authorities at the border
of Occupied France, who threatened
to take her American passport away.
She came directly to Washington
from Paris. arriving with 81 in her
purse. She came to North Africa
as a Red Cross worker last January.
Intense Poverty.
Working among the native popu-
lation, she says, she has been a wit
ness of many heartrending scenes.
The work has consisted chiefly in
delivering milk rations and layettes
made by American Red Cross chap
tiers for newborn children. The
most intense poverty has been en-
countered among the Arabs. but on
the whole. she says, she has had very
good cooperation.
Up to now more than 600 distribu-
ton centers have been set up
throughout Algeria and there is
hardly village which is not within
easy reach of Red Gross station.
Undernourishment among the chill
dren has practically disappeared and
, statistics show an average gain OF
| 2'x pounds since January for all
the children served All milk is
consumed at the stations to pre-
vent its being sold by unprincipled
parents on the black market.
Desert Situation Surveyed.
The survey of the nutrition situa-
tion in the desert, just completed by
Miss Gertrude Clark Of Okmulgee
Okla, shows that the situation can
be met adequately by shipments
totaling about rs tons of dried milk
from the United States. Condensed
milk will be of little value because
of the climate.
The Red Cross is putting forth its
best civilian relief efforts among the
desperately poor of Algeria not only
because of the great immediate need,
but because of the experience gained
which is expected to be Of immense
value when American forces move

Army Relief Drive

Among the most cherished traditions Of the
Army is that it cares for its own Through
the Army Emergency Relief for years SOL
diers needing aid, or families of soldiers in
want, have been cared for, not as subjects
Of charity but as victims OF circumstances
beyond their control.
Now the time is near for a crusade in
which the public will be offered a chance to
share in the splendid project of helping the
Army care for its own.
Certainly the public of Wilmington, which
has always enjoyed the cooperation of Off
GERS and men at Camp Davis in all charita BILE
enterprises, will not be niggardly when the
time to contribute arrives.
In these times of global war our soldiers
are called on not only to fight our battles
They also must fight often under domestic
difficulties we who continue our serene and
placid existence in comfort at home cannot
appraise.
The least we can do is to relieve them
of part of their worries while they are
bearing the full weight of battle.

Pipe Down on Pipeline

The case for and against a pipeline from
Texas having been fully stated in the col
unns of the Star and the News, is now before
the jury of public opinion. In weighing ad-
vantages claimed for it and its obvious dis
advantages, there is no sound reason for Will
mington to render a verdict for it.
We cannot see any possibility of lasting
good to be derived from the project On the
other hand, there is good reason to foresee
actual damage to the Port of Wilmington
To begin with the outlay of government
capital, which must be provided by the tax
payers, is prohibitive. Eighty millions Of dol
lars is still big money, even in this era of
astronomical federal spending. Secondly, the
pipeline could not be completed before the
third place, the use of critical materials in
its construction, when they are more needed
for war weapons, is unjustified.
This war probably will be over before we
are told to expect its end, When hostilities
have ceased, when regular commerce routes
are safe, and particularly when the tanker
fleet is released from war service and its
ships restored to their customary use, what
are they to do for cargoes if oil is coming
in by pipeline and, conversely, what possible
value could a pipeline have if oil transport
is restored to the tankers?
Wilmington has been principal oil transfer
center in the past There is no reason to
deny it the same rating after the war. Fur
thermore, oil can be moved more cheaply by
ship and highway than by pipeline, and re-
wolves no such capital outlay as would be
required to build the proposed pipeline.
The petroleum problem has been bungled
from start to finish. Let's not encourage
worse laundering by encouraging or support
ing such a costly and temporary expedient
as this pipeline from Texas.
1t would strike a terrible blow to Whining
ton s port commerce in the postwar era and
give competing ports an added advantage
Norfolk to the north and Charleston to the
south have not participated largely in gaso-
line movement by water. They have nothing
to lose through substitution of pipeline for
tankers, whereas Wilmington would be robbed
not only of actual port revenues but the bust
ness accruing from motor fleets delivering
gasoline to other cities throughout southeast
ern North Carolina. Every dollar of business
taken away from this port would give both
Charleston and Norfolk that much greater
lead over Wilmington.
Think carefully, Wilmingtonians, before Civ
ing encouragement to this pipeline project.

to keep in mind during these hectic times:
l. The Germans are making frantic at

that Hitler built. Part of their effort rep
resents real and grim fight with arms

also to save the Balkans. Part Of it is
propaganda and false reports which are

points of Europe in an effort to bewilder
the Italians and other Axis peoples as

the Italian position, although we must be
prepared for bitter fighting, as well as
some heavy complications such as grow
Out OF the presence of German troops in
Rome and their announced assumption of
''protection'' of the Vatican.
It is Mr.. MacKenzie's opinion that General
Eisenhower foresaw the complications t h
have come to pass, especially the fighting
that has sprung up between Italian and Ger
man troops, and notes that an important point
is how far the Italians will make good Ba-
doglio's order to resist attack by the Ger
mans. Perhaps as order emerges from the
chaos now prevailing in Italy, the people
will respond to the appeal by President Roose-
welt and Premier Churchill to strike hard

Sound as these views are, it is distressing
to consider that the fighting in Italy is really
only starting and can end only after heavy
losses and widespread destruction of Italys
resources, cities and her invaluable historic
monuments With German forces in Rome
1t is not improbable that the Eternal City
itself may become a battle-ground.
