HERE'S PROPER BRAND
OF REAL PATRIOTISM

Patriotic Americans by the hundreds
of thousands read about the start of the
invasion of Europe, visioned the sweep
ing battlefields that will lie between the
channel and Berlin, cast about for some
new way to aid and then rushed to the
many, many Red Cross blood banks.
Where it was impossible to care for the
countless numbers who made their offer,
thousands insisted upon making appoint
ments ahead. For instance, in Washing
ton City alone the volunteer donors in
creased by 300 per cent within few
hours. The blood bank stations hurried
ly increased their forces to receive and
make record of telephone calls and their
medical staffs to accommodate the con-
tributors. AS a result the plasma banks
are overflowing, insuring plenty for the
many fighters. There was no halting to
wait this directive or that; there was no
fee collector at the door and the only
card of admission was a blaze of pa
triotic fervor and the zeal to aid the
cause of victory.

DID TOO MANY KNOW
INVASION DATE?

General Eisenhower has reprimanded
and reduced in rank a major general for
an "indiscraet" remark at London cock
tail party as to the date of the invasion.
The talkative general who held a high
command position in the air forces in
Britain has been sent home and now is
reported in hospital. Fortunately the
generals indiscretion got no further than
the party and to Eisenhower. 1t develops
now that not few people in this country
either had the invasion information, or
claim they had been on the inside
and some Of these are civilians. Among
these is Mrs Roosevelt who has inform
ed the country that she knew the date
1t speaks well for officers and others
who had to know, that the information
did not leak out. But it seems some
chances were taken, at that

ERIC JOHNSTON GETS
RUSS EAR ON POSTWAR

We don't know now much, If any, Rus
sian language Eric A. Johnston, president
of the United States Chamber of Com
merce knows, but we do know that he
talked language so straight from the
shoulder in his first public appearance
in Moscow that the Muscovite trade eX-
perts got it. And they liked it. 1t was
rough. The American business leader
didn't spread and "taffy'', but went di-
rectly to the heart of the subject.
Johnston is in Russia for a 30-day stay
to make his own survey Of postwar condl-
tions, study Russian approaches to the
readjustment and rebuilding stage. In
cidentally he is getting over to the Rus
slams something some OF the pussy-foot-
ers, and this includes Vice President Wal
lace who stopped off in Russia on his
way to China, fail to do. Johnston didn't
simper around about this ideal or that
On the other hand he bluntly told the
Russians that America doesn't give a
tinker's dam about fascism, nazism, COM
munism or any other ism, never had any
use for them and never will; that Amer
lea is going ahead on its postwar plans
and assured the Moscow audience that
Russia can practice any kind Of ideology
she pleases along with her reconStruc-
ton plans and it will be jake with this
country. He got over the fact that the
main thing is to get going and stay going,
and let isms scratch their own backs"
AS it began to dawn upon the Russ
trade experts that this country has no
intention of reforming or "realigning"
the beliefs of any other nation before
cooperating in rebuilding the world, the
Moscow boys rose up and applauded.
Maybe Johnston used sign language.
ANYHOW he got over the first good, hard
common sense message the Russians have
had from this side the waters in long
time

A PERMANENT
DIES COMMITTEE?

Jacksonville Register-Pa jaronian)
Rep. J. Parnell Thomas of New Jersey
thinks that the Dies committee-official-
ly the special committee to investigate
Un-American activitieS-ShOuld be made
permanent when its present tenure ends
next January. AS the committees rank
ing minority member, Mr. Thomas Is IN
line for the Craftsmanship if he should be
reelected and the republicans should
gain control of the house in the next con-
gress. This may lend urgency to his sug-
gestion, which will probably find con-
siderable support in and out OF congress.
ANY decision on the suggestion Is COM
plicated by the question of what the COM
mittee will be like without Martin Dies,
who is bowling out in politics. The his
tory of his committee has been marked
by violent opposition and enthusiasm,
but it is hard to tell whether it was the
committees work or Mr.. Dies, person
ally, that aroused these feelings. Per-
haps with a different chairman and
changed personnel the whole atmosphere
might be different.
But that doesn't alter the fact that
the committees past activities have been
a mixture of revealing Investigations and
silly witch hunts. And it doesn't settle
best center for this type of operation.
Nh Thomas is right when he says
that we must not let our guard down
against n-Americanism But whether
the present weapon of exposure . .
must be maintained through congress
sional committee is another question.
1t is always possible that such a weapon
will shoot wide Of the mark and hit some
political or personal targets. Or it may
prove amusingly ineffective, as happen
ed in the federal theater project inves-
tigation when one Dies committeeman
accused the dramatist Christopher Mar
lowe (l564-1593) of being communist.
1t seems to US that the logical place
for investigating un-Americanism is the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. It's
record Of efficiency in this field is cer-
tainly as good as the Dies committees.
And its staff, enlarged if necessary,
could surely turn up as much valuable
evidence as Mr.. Dies claims his group
turned over to the FBI.
Might not the FBI be put to political
and personal uses, too? Yes, but con-
gress would very likely be on the alert
for such symptoms. These same symp-
toms might go unnoticed in a colleague,
for the lawmakers usually present a
united, loyal defense against outside at
tack on one of their members, however
much they may fight in their own cham
bers or sound off at election time. But
with the present congressional allergy
to all things bureaucratic, an FBl "Dies
committee couldn't get far out Of line.

OIL DRIVE HEAD

w. G. Fountain, OF the Fountain

the public the facts about the blacl
market and how it is hurting the

yesterday by j. Laurens Wright
state chairman Of the industry
committe on rationing, which is
heading up the drive.
The county chairmen and the
various local distributors will serve
SIS local spearheads for the inten'
siye campaign being carried on by
the industry to halt the black mar
ket operations which are stealing
more than 100000 gallons of gaso-
Gne daily.
IN making the announcement Of
Fountains appointment and that OF
other members. Wright said: I'm
vasion of Fortress Europe, which
came shortly after this campaign
was begun, has intensified the need
for vigorous effort against the
black markets. When our boys are
storming the beaches, there is no
time for any good American to
start cheating on the rect of us
who are backing the attack"
Fountain in accepting the ap-
peintment said: I'VE are proud to
have ben selected by fellow mem
bers of our industry to head up
locally this vital job of education
about the gasoline black market.
Gasoline is one of the principle ef-
forts of our war. A recent authorl-
tative statement revealed that to
carry the 10000 tons of bombs
dropped the 1st day to smash the
coastal batteries in Normandy
took more than 100000 gallons
of gasoline. Every gallon of high
octane gasoline consumed by our
air men in covering landing and
fighting operations in France takes
twice as much crude stock as does
a single gallon of automobile gaeo-
lire. There is no mysterious source
of gasoline open to black market
perators. They are stealing from
the rest of us. Gasoline is power
ing the attack. We can't waste a
drop

tisn is being planned by the local
committee simultaneously with

RALEIGH, July 6 Willard
Calling, chief agent of the State
Bureau of Investigation, advocated
today a police academy for all
North Carolina law enforcement of.
ficers from constable on up.
Calling, Duke University Law
school graduate who has figured
in the solving of many major
crimes and law violations since he
became attached to the depart
ment several years ago said there
was little brief to be held for the
present system of swearing in a
former shoemaker, giving him a
gun and badge. and wishing him
luck"
Such a procedure, he said, does
not insure justice for anybody.
More too, he added, an incompe-
tent unframed foficer could through
an unwarranted act cause a NUM-
cipality or county to be liable for
damages.
Just how such a school with pro-
visions for retaining officers
should be set up, Calling said ne
did not know but added it appar.
emily could be done through legis-
lative act.
He suggested it be located in
tile central part of the state and
financed by pro rata assessments
against the municipalities and
counties, depending on the num-
her of men each sent to the school.
Attendance must be compulsory,
he said, if the school is to succeed.
fYou wouldn't call in layman
if your child were ill.," he said,
you'd call in a doctor. If your
house were broken into while you
were asleep or someone committed

WEED GROWERS
MAKE DEMANDS

LUMBERTON, July 6-R-More
than 300 Robson county tobacco
growers adopted resolutions at a
mass meeting today demanding
full and regular daily sales time
on the tobacco markets OF the
Border belt.
The Tobacco Association of the
United States CTATUS) in its SEES
sion at Raleigh last week declined
to revise it's marketing rules so as
to permit markets of the Border
belt to have the same number OF
sets of buyers and the same major
part of their crops.
The resolution adopted today re
ouested Governor Broughton to in
vestigate the feasibility of asking
TATUS to make room in its or
ganization for tobacco growers.
The membership embraces most
lv those involved in the market,n2
of the crop.
President David H. Fuller,
president of the North Carolina
Border Belt Tobacco Farmers as
sociation, was instructed to hear
delegation to deliver the reso-
lutions to Gov. Broughton.
The resolution set forth the be-
lief that the marketing time
set by TATUS would be damaging
to farmers because of a shortage
Of pack houses and the obsence OF
ordering pits on farms in this
area.
Rep. ]. Bayard Clark D-NC)
spoke in favor of some system
that would enable farmers of the
border belt to market their crop
in orderly, profitable manner.
Ashton H. Williams of the South

ton, and former State Senator
James A. Clark of -Bladen county
spoke briefly in advocacy of efforts
