NEA Staff Correspondent

LONDON-The gaunt shout
ders of John G.. Winant are car
'rying heavy load these days.
AS U. S. Ambassador, he is the
mouthpiece Of the State De-
partment and the guiding spirit
for scores Of agencies which the
war has brought into being.
He is in his office before the
haze has lifted from London 5
streets. Dark eyes, intent under
bushy broWS, study the papers
on his desk. He dictates letters
while pacing the room, often &C
companying his words with ges-
lures. Visitors are greeted shy
ly. In conversation his voice is
so low and his manner SO qtiet
that he gives the impression of
thinking aloud.
1T is my job" he said, when
| asked him what his duties are,
ito contact the heads of the
British Government on matters
involving the interests of both
countries. The two men l work
most closely with are Mr..
Churchill and Foreign Secretary
Eden, who is also leader of the
House of Commons.
HIS FAMILY SCATTERED
His work is not finished when
at about o'clock he goes TO his
flat above the embassy. There,
unless more pressing business
calls him out he works with
secretaries until late at night.
Despite the many calls upon
his time, his life here is a lonely
one. Mrs. Winant is in the
United States, one son is in the
Marine Corps and the other,
bomber pilot, is prisoner in
Germany. In the Ambassador 5
living room are photographs Of
the President and the Prime
Minister as well as generals and
admirals, but family pictures
hold the places of honor.
Although born in New York
City, he regards himself as
New Englander.--for he lived in
New Hampshire, enlisted from
that state as flyer during the
last war, and served as lis gov
ernor for three terms.
Ambassador Winant often has
been likened to Lincoln, having
much the same ruggcdneSs and
kindliness. But in his eyes
there is a Seer-like look remin-
iscent Of Edgar Allan Poe-and
like Poe, he has an uucanny
prophetic sense. He forcSaW
Germany's attack upon Russia
and TO make certain that he
would be with the Prime Min.

The Democratic strategists
were unable throughout the
night to make good the state
ment yesterday of their chair
man, Byron l.. Ballard. that they
would have two strong candi-
dates for Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor before we leave
here tonight" Their maneuver-
ings apparently struck a snag
after Theodore |. Fry, state Lii
quor Control Commissioner and
former State Treasurer, flatly
refused to be the gubernatorial
candidate Of his party.
Reports circulated that there
was strong movement to in
duce Maurice Epeland. May
vile banker, former State Bank
ing commissioner, TO accept the
candidacy, although he has said
repeatedly he did not want the
nomination.
The same reports linked Dem
ocratic state chairman Earnest
c. Brooks, Of Holland, former
state senator, for the Lieutenant
governorship contest, but the
name of Representative Clark j.
Adams of Pontiac still was be-
ing mentioned.
The strategists left the closed
conference room with glum air
and refused to discuss their
problem. They did not even
whip up an air Of confidence for
the benefit Of neWsmen.

Buy E Bonds Now

With the end OF the Sixth War Bond cam
paign set for tomorrow, New Hanover county
yesterday was within per cent of its quota.
There is no reason to think that the goal will
not be reached by Saturday night.
Would that the same could be forecast for
the sale of E bonds, the special ISSUE pro-
vived for individual buyers. Yesterday sales
of these bonds had reached only IS per cent
of the quota.
The county will 60 over the top, and at the
same time many citizens will have fallen short
of their obligation. To be sure, bonds sold
throughout the remainder Of December will
be credited to the Sixth bond drive and there
Is little reason to doubt that by the first OF
January the deficiency will have been made
up. But that will not be the same as crossing
the goal. line before the dead line.
Only by miracle can the full E bond quota
be reached by Saturday night If the miracle
does not come, the New Hanover county COM
munity, including Wilmington, for the first
time since the war bonds were offered will
have dropped below par.
Today and tomorrow are available for buy.

Night Truck Parking

Night parking of trucks in Wilmington
streets presents a problem that is not easy
to solve.
In the first place there is no law under
which it can be prohibited. But in the second
place trucks thus parked create a grave haz'
ard of accident, particularly If they are near
an intersection.
This applies especially to trucks OF great
height. When they stand close to the inter
section they create a blind crossing. Traffic
approaching on a cross street has no clear
vision of conditions at the intersection, MOI
have cars moving parallel to the trucks.
We are in no position to say whether the
City Council would be within its rights II II
should adopt an ordinance requiring thai
trucks be parked far enough from a crossing
to afford all car drivers an unobscured view
of the intersection, but it would seem that in
the interest of safety such a statue would not
be out of order.
is only reasonable to expect truck operators
10 recognize responsibility for public safety
and voluntarily park their vehicles near the
center of block instead Of near the corner
Also they would confer public favor and
promote safety if they did not park large
trucks opposite other large trucks, practice
now more or less common and which leaves
but narrow lane between, inviting accidents
An appeal to them by the proper authorize:
could do no harm and probably would receive
ready acceptance

each of these, but there it stops.
Then he surveys the territory,
from the deck of a Ship running
down-river from New Orleans. The
deck is high above the banks OF
the river, and these are for the
most part higher than the back
country This is land of soft,
rich soil. It is wet much of the
time, and will grow a crop al
most overnight - three or four a
year are not remarkable. A flower
garden grows into a tangled bow
err while ones back is turned. and
in the same interval a wind-height-
ened tide can wash in and cover
the whole place.
The people are largely French,
with liberal infusions OF Filipino,
Toxic (Dalmatian), Spanish, Ne
gro and Anglo-Saxon. They have
a speech of their own, and they
live with one foot on land and one
in the water. Such heroes as their
two famous priests, and their fav-
orite DR.. Ballowe were living leg
ends, and other I'd d characters
sprout like wild rice and lrow into
rich color. Mr.. Kane serves up
both background and glittering
foreground for all this, and some
how he wraps the panorama in
precisely the proper English. Ev-

Sidewalk Repairs

Wilmingtons sidewalks have long been a
source of annoyance, both by absence where
needed and rough surface in many places.
1t was with general appreciation, therefore,
that the public learned Of the city's program
for repairs 1t was generally assumed that the
work would prove a real asset.
But it was not long after the work started
that complaints began to pour into the Council
and City Engineers office that some OF the
work was unsatisfactory and owners began to
refuse to pay for it, with result that the Council
at its Wednesday session engaged in spirited
discussion to the wisdom on continuing
the project.
all that has been reported by owners
and by City Engineer Loughlin and Council
members is correct, and the adverse test.

other on it's way; the second came
very late. Another day or. so, and
/ should have missed the best, by
far, of the ten volumes so far pub
lished in the American Folkways
series. More zone of the best
books ever written by an Ameri-
can about an American region.
Much of the credit goes to the
lower Mississippi delta itself,
which is a region like no other.
But mostly, the book is good for
three elementary reasons. Mr..
Kane knows the delta, he can
write, and he knows from long
newspaper experience what to
write and what to throw away.
suspect that for this book he dared
throw away very little material,
for the delta country is overlaid
with different people, flora,
fauna and weather.
One of the things Mr.. Kane toss
ed overheard was the customary
long excursion into the geological
and historical background of his
territory. There is enough about
