 James Aldridge's "The Sea Ea- gle" is a first-rate successor to his extraordinarily fine first nov el, which was Signed With Their Honor" The new book hangs on the desire of one Angus Burke to escape from Crete when the Nazis took over, and its point is the growth of Angus when he gradually takes to fighting for the ideal of freedom instead of personal survival.

Hold The Home Line

Long time residents of Wilmington and many
who have made the city their home for short
er periods but love it no less for that reason
have noted with distress the predisposition OF
business to encroach upon established resi-
dence areas during these hurried topsy-turvy
war years.
Surely Wilmington has available property for
all business without this sacrifice sections long
dedicated to residences, which offer no par
ticular advantage to business but suffer dis
tinct loss, both in actual and sentimental value,
when business thrusts is way into them.
The need for considerable zoning has been
apparent for considerable time. But even with
the recognized. business has continued to creep
into zones geographically and by long prece-
dent adapted to dwellings.
We take this occasion to put in a word
for tie home sectors which possess an at
tractiveness that deserves to be safeguarded
against disfiguring and unsettling business in:
tr,lsion. This does not imply opposition to prog
ress or BUSINESS expansion, but it does OPP
pose the tendency to turn quiet, home neigh
borhoods into hybrid business districts.

One is the crochety editing for

the most important is the astute

that biographical shorts have

One Of the best of the New York

Good Management

The most amazingly successful management

time to do specific job. In the humdrum
existence of peacetime. this organizing genius
traditional to the United States, never seemed

beaches of Normandy, everyone prayed that
nothing had been overlooked. They prayed that
management in industry. in government and
in the army had done good job. Countless
lives depended on good management.

Senatorial Warnings

Two Republican senators, Ball OF Minnesota
and Burton OF Ohio, have given some timely
advice on the subject of Americas participa-
ton in world security organization. The for
ner has called for defeat at the polls OF
eleven senators he designates without NAM
ing) as 'isolatonists." Mr.. Burton mas warned
that these eleven senators and others are al
ready preparing to block our membership in
any international peace group.
These warnings, coming from within the Sen
ate cannot be safely dismissed as idle words.
Nor can they be called political, for both
senator's have identified eight of their eleven
allegedly isolationist colleagues as Repub-
licans.
Mr. Burton. unlike Mr.. Ball, does not ask
for direct action by the voters next month.
Instead he presses for a majority vote Of
House and Senate to ratify treaties. instead
of the two-thirds Senate vote now required
And he urges speedy formation OF world
security organization with the warning that
its opponents in the Senate would tear apart
any elaborate plan.
Perhaps Mr.. Burton is asking more speed
~
tional amendment and world ratification thar
they are capable of. But at least his and Mr.
Balls statements recall and emphasize the
paramount par: which the Senate will play
under present constitutional provisions in ou'
joining any world peace movement.
Whether or not we join such movement
depends much more on the Senate's member
ship than it does on the occupant OF the
White House. This was proved. Of course, BY
the "willful men, of 1920 But today, wher
the presidential campaign looms so large II
the public mind. it is worth thinking about
again.
The two senator's obvious concern is signi

Elected in the House Fulbright resolution and
the platforms of both major parties.
While this sentiment is at its height, Mr..
Burton calls for prompt action on both his
suggestions.
However prompt or slow this action may
be. the two senators have at leas. given voters
implicit notice to examine senatorial candi-
dates records scrlpulously in the light of their
own desires for world security.
And they have provided them with another
reminder that. whatever the country's senti-
ment, one-third plus one OF Senate quorum
could block American participation in an in
ternational security organization, and perhaps
ieopardize the peace Of the world

That task has become known as the biggest

Perhaps the Pickford piece. for
which the material is oddly unin-

the authors skill. It's real skill,
