Loan League Sets
New Record
$95I.4II.ooo Ready
For Home Buyers

The unprecedented sum Of APP
proximately a billion dollars was
available in savings and loan
institutions the first half of this
year for lending to home buyers,
to war housing builders, and to
Uncle Sam through government
security purchases, the U. s.
Savings and Loan League re-
ported Saturday.
Morton Bodfsh. executive vice
president of the league, says that
out of 1851. All 900 which they
had available, $545. GAS, 900 came
from borrowers repayments on
their loans and S406, 1856. 900 rep
resented net increase in funds
from savings and investing mem
bers.
The inflow of funds from bor-
rowers was 294 per cent greater
than in the first six months of
1943, and half again as great as
in the like period of 1912.
These receipts represented a
vastly accelerated rate of repay
ments over and above contraetual
monthly reductions required on
the principal Of each borrowers
loan
The war years have seen the
rather unique situation. Bodfish
pointed out. in which the home
lending institutions have a larger
volume of money TO relend out of
their borrowers repayments than
as a result of new money coming
in from their savings members.

Hitler Might Try 1t

Discussing the robot plane which Germany
has been using against England in recent
weeks, Alexander p de Seversky voices the
opinion that it will supercede the water tor
pedo 'for it performs the same job with
greater efficiency"
He notes particularly that it may be used
on plane carriers. Had we really developed
these robot planes,' he says, 1--WE would have
fourd them tremendously useful on many &C.
casions in the course of this war; And he
adds: "Our aircraft carriers, for instance,
could have been equipped with such flying
bombs and thus would not have been de-
pendent upon the aid of battleships in over
coming Tarawa, Kwajlaein and other strong
holds'
There has been some lay discussion whether
flying bombs could be discharged from car
riers. Mr. De Seversky disposes of that argu-
ment. He would not have cited specific cases
in which use of them could have been made
by carriers we may assume, unless he had
become convinced of the possibility. He is
not IN the ndD1C OF prOHlulSdt1nS QueStlondple
conclusions.
The particular interest in this centers in
the thought that Hitler being desperate, and
having thus far been thwarted in his dream
of attacking the United States, might yet at
tempt to send warship of some description
carrying flying bombs to our coastal waters
and launch them against cities
Hitler and his generals have about all they
can attend to in Europe these days with the
Allies squeezing the vice on three fronts. But
it is not impossible that they will take one
fling at the United States with flying bombs
launched from war craft.
We may be sure this possibility has not
escaped the attention of our military and
naval command and that careful and constant
watch will be maintained to circumvent the
effort, if it is made

Our Chief Aim
Better Neighbor

Any postwar planning program drafted for

eastern North Carolina.
Wilmington cannot hope to prosper in pro-
portion to its opportunity unless it gives full
consideration and equal opportunity to t S
trade area; and that consideration must be
a two-way proposition. 1t must include. the
benefits it can confer 10 less than those it
may receive.
The Port of Wilmington, for example, can
not achieve its highest goal unless it is at
sthe service of all southeastern North Caro-.
lima, no less than of Wilmington and the
states great industrial areas. Terminals
warehouses and other port facilities, to serve
the best purpose, must provide accommoda
items for this areas products, which will in
crease as facilities for their handling. storing

major undertakings of the port builders tt

Wartime Miracle

Chiefly because tax reduction has been
effected George A. Sloan, president of the
Metropolitan Opera Association, believes the
association may come through the next season
Of opera without deficit or if not that at
least a substantial reduction in it. That the
Metropolitan has been able to continue during
this war period and even improve the quality
of its productions is one of the major mira.
cles of these times. A greater miracle is in
store if, as Mr. Sloan predicts there is no
deficit at the conclusion of the coming season.
If this transpires it will be due in no small
measure to the contributions of the American
people at home who never enter the Metro
politan's doors but listen to the Saturday aft
ernoon broadcasts from its stage Many thou
sands of dollars flow into the Metropolitan
treasury from voluntary gifts in response to
weekly appeal during intermissions.
BY means of these broadcasts the perform
ances of this great organization have been
brought into homes that had little musical en-
tertainment before, creating a higher degree
of music appreciation-a public service which
cannot be overestimated or over-evaluated.
And as appreciation has increased the bene-
ficiaries have accepted some financial respon-
sibility for the productions they enjoy so great
ly.
With earnings generally higher it is fair to
think that public response will be greater
when the appeal is renewed with the opening
of the next opera season.

Always Ready

There is no better barometer of the progress

emergency than are its industries This was
dramatically proved in the preparedness oil

plement the war demands Of our government
Even in the extraordinary things American
industry was prepared. For instance, how
many people think of the infallible organiza-
ton required to aid in the vital Red Cross
blood plasma work? Rapid movement of the
precious fluid from the donation centers to the
processing laboratories is as imperative as
securing the blood. This problem was left in
the hands of the express industry, as part OF
the days work for its coordinated system of
collection and delivery facilities in every
corner of the nation. 1t uses specially eouip.

transportation under the temperatures reouir.

Fortunately 2,875,00o pints of blood reached
the laboratories for conversion into dry plasma
within "a hours after donation by the public.
While our country was supposed to be ,1n-
prepared, the dictators overlooked the fact
that its strength was in the alertness and intia-
tive of free enterprise, as compared with the
stunted vision and lack of incentive in govern
ment-oWned activities in foreign lands.
