Postwar Delinquency

Juvenile delinquency, according to a report
presented to the International Association OF
Chiefs of Police, will increase in the postwar
era.
This is not forecast but fact. More than
half of the nations communities of $4,000 or
more population surveyed indicated they are
looking for an upward trend in youth problems
and crime.
To those cognizant to the magnitude and
seriousness of inroads made by Junior crime
during the war; this is serious warning. It
demands Strengthening of our antidelinquency
machinery on all fronts. 1t means tagable
steps for greater community wide effort must
be made It calls for programs receiving
the worthwhile cooperation of parents, social
workers. educators, clergymen, law enforce
rnent officers, industrialists labor leaders,
businessmen and civic workers.
Wilmingtons advances toward sound pro-
gram have been greater within the past year
than any similar period we can recall. But
there must be no resting on the oars and any
plans made now must not be looked upon as
emergency ones but parts Of long range
continued assault upon the problem.

New Line Of Thought

A British general was speaking to an audi
ence of boys: I'VE nearly lost this war. {.
We shall not be so lucky next time unless we
take steps to be ready. There may be a
hiatus, but there is bound to be another war;
Professional soldiers have always talked that
way, They have always been right-there has
always been another war. With or without
popular consent they have tried to be ready
for it.
But it is time that they started taking an
other line of thought than that there is bound
to be another war; Undoubtedly there will be
threats of war. Against those threats there
must be the counter threat of swift, powerful
concerted, frightening force that will not let
then develop.
Professional soldiers must still take steps to
be ready. But they must be ready only to en-
force, drastically if necessary, the will for
peace among humane, civilized governments
and peoples which cannot be doubted now and
must not be denied in the future.

Equality of opportunity in the United States
in large part has been founded upon the propo-
sition that each child and youth shall have
access to educational facilities which would
permit him to develop such talents as he
possessed. We have failed miserably in full
filling this proposition. - Prof. John K Nor

You can tell the folks in my home town of
Paris, Tenn, that personally am willing to
bet we'll be in Paris, France, in the next 10

Case Closed

The case of It. Gen. George S. Patton is
closed
Sufficiently disciplined for the soldier slap
ping incident in Sicily the fiery leader who
drove the rampant Third army across Brittany
is back in the good graces of not only his
supreme commander General Eisenhower but
the representatives of the people at home.
Tuesday, the Senate confirmed his promotion
to the permanent rank of major general, which
had been withheld by the Military Affairs COM
mittee since the assault incident last October.
The whole business shows General Eisen-
but a most judcous man. Shortly after the
incident was revealed, he reprmanded "old
blood and CUNTS and ordered public apology
This helped mend any damage inflicted on
the morale of American troops serving over
seas. Next, he saw that Patton stayed under
a cloud for several months, thus placating the
home front Then, when opportunity called for
the use of a tactical genius, Patton was the
man selected to mould and snap the southern
Jaw of the trap on Germanys Seventh army.
The controversial Patton has been leading ar
army literally born in battle' since August
l. It has been on the offensive since the day
it was created and never has let up minute,
the result on doubt of his great driving power.
While Patton slapped one mothers son in a
fit of rage, he's probably saved the lives of
many others through his clever military lead
ership. He's tough, blunt, gravel-voiced indi-
vidual and his consideration of the feelings OF
others may not always be high, but he wins
battles. And after all, that's what generals
are for.
The whole case substantiates one important
fact-General Eisenhower knows how to handle
men, whether they have three stars their
shoulder or one chevron on their sleeve.

Machine Age

About 20 years ago man named Kare]
Capek wrote a play called 'R. U. r. 1t was
fantasy, somewhat disquietng but highly
improbable about horde of robot workers
that swarmed over the earth and destroyed the
human race which had created them.
''R. U. R." never rivaled "Abies Irish Rose
or Tobacco Road in popularity. But the
tireless, soulless, non-human workers, has
stuck in our vocabulary. And now, alas, it
begins to appear that Capeks fantasy might
not have been so fantastic at that.
For instance, in New York City the other
day a docile old local subway train suddenly
felt the STRINGS of revolt and took matters
into it's own hands 1t whisked a load of be-
Wildered humans back and forth from
Brooklyn to Manhattan whipsawing from one
route to another, pausing only to decide where
let its passengers escape. Shortly afterward
in the same cit va driverless milk truck vault

Then Bayonne, N. j., teacher claimed to
will enable anybody to compose music. And
now Harvard University has been presented
with an amazing electrical device which, so
far as the limited mind can discover, will do
any mathematical problem under the sun-or
beyond the sum- for that matter
The machine age has become no joke 1t was
all right when man began devising more and
more machines to relieve him of manual
chores. 1t was even all right when man started
building machines to do his simple arithmetic
for him-since man knew that he could still
do it himself
But this algebraic electric brain at Harvard
is something else. The Navy commander who
invented it and the International Business Ma
chimes Corp. people who built it aren't sure
what 1T can do. They say it might 60 beyond
the mathematical horizons that the cumulative
glimpse.
If men keep on building machines of this
scope, it's only question of time until they
come up with one which will discover, among
other secrets of the universe, that the human
race is irresponsible, inefficient and thorough
ly expendable Then the machine age will
really be here. Mankind will eventually disap-
pear, unnoticed and unsung. Machines will
turn out more machines, solve more problems

ticking along from force Of habit, much in the
manner of man who preceded them

lying in the midst of the scattered
debris OF what had been kitchen
floor.
The German didn't seem to be
badly wounded, but he was sure
full Of misery. He looked middle
aged, and he was pale, partly bald,
had big nose and his face was
yellow. He kept moaning and twist
ing The doctor said he thought
morphine was making him sick.
The doctor took his scissors and
began cutting his clothes open to
see if he was wounded anywhere
except in the arm. He wasn't. But
he had been sick at his stomach
and then rolled over. He was sure
superman sad sack.
Pretty soon the litter bearers
came back. They had two wounded
Germans and one American on
their litters. Also they had two
walking cases-one hearty fellow
with a slight leg wound, and one
youngster whose hands were
trembling from nervous tension.
The doctor asked him what
was the matter and he said nothing
was, except that he couldn't stop
shaking. He said he felt that his
nerves were all right, but he just
couldn't keep his hands from
trembling.
Just shade of disappointment
passed over the boys face, but he
was game.
That's what l told the lieuteu-
ant" he said. Il think I'm all
right to go back"
I could tell the doctor liked his
attitude. There was nothing yellow
about the kid.
The doctor said:
"1'll tell you. You get on this
jeep and go back to the aid station.
We will give you some sleeping
stuff and you can just lie around
there on the ground for a day or
two and you'll be all right
And with that compromise the
kid-relieved at even two-day re-
spite-got into the jeep with the
wounded men and went back down
the road.

EXPRESS APPRECIATION

To The Editor:
We have recently had an out
standing demonstration of what
can be accomplished in a COM
munity like ours in the time OF
disaster; when those who are
charged with special responsibility
move promptly and efficiently to
perform their duties; and when
citizen and neighbor, conscious Of
social obligations, lend a helping
hand to fellows in need.
The members of this club would
like to take this means of ex.
pressing their keen appreciation,
and also their gratitude, to every
one who at that time took part in
the relief of distress, in the re-
storation of public and private faci-
lities, and to those whose acts of
generosity and hospitality to the
unfortunate helped to complete the
job. Many of them worked night
and day without rest, to bring order
out of chaos and to restore our
living conditions to normal. To
every one of them, men, women,
and young folk, whoever they may
be, we are grateful and we want
them to know it.

Another Try At Hitler?

Will new Allied landings in Southern France
inspire fresh attempt by German military
leaders to overthrow Hitler with the hope of
negotiating peace before we smash into Ger
many and destroy their old war machine?
Well-informed travellers from France believe
the answer to that is an affirmative one.
According to one informant, well versed in
conditions within Germany and who has long
enjoyed German confidence, the military
clique is determined to upset the Nazi regime
at any cost and preserve for future genera
tons the fiction that the German army had
not been defeated in battle but had lost this
war-like the First World war-through an
internal collapse.

army's only hope for holding the future con-

glorious tradition of the German army must
remain unbroken so the German people will
retain their military virtues.
1--WE must preserve the army's honor-if not
by force of arms then by overthrowing the
civilian regime and so bringing defeat by what
Hitler called treason rather than betray the
German peoples faith in the army
The traveller said he believed that at least
80 per cent of the professional German army
officers now believed the war is lost
