HOPE TO SETTLE
POLISH DISPUTE

WASHINGTON, July 90 R -
American officials expressed them.
selves as moderately hopeful today
that an agreement might be work
ed out between the Polish govern
ment in London and the Soviet
backed Polish committee Of liberia
ton which would end the worst row
within Allied ranks.
If the dispute cannot be settled
this way some authorities here are
apprehensive not only for the future
of an internally peaceful Poland,
but also for the good will Of the
worlds small nations and for full
harmony among Britain, the United
States and Russia on the even Of
their initial joint peace-organizing
effort.
Britain and this country recog-
nize the Polish government at Lon
don, but Russia does not.
The future course Of the Polish
London government is likely to be
settled in the next week or ten
days through the conversations IN
Moscow of Stanislaw Mikolajczyk,
its premier.
The hope in diplomatic quarters
here is that Mikolajczky will be
cordially received and at least a
friendly atmosphere may result
from his visit, leading to more
concrete accomplishments later on.
The problem to be solved is re-
garded as almost exclusively poll
teal rather than territorial. Essen
TALLY, it arises from the fact that
Russia wants what she considers
friendly or sympathetic govern
ments on her European frontier,
and has denounced the Polish gov
eminent at London as containing
several members who are distinct
ly unfriendly.

He credited Waves in 500 shore

enough men from non combatant
duty to man all the landing craft
in the Normandy and Saipan in
~asions, and added:
The Women's reserve will con-
TRUE to speed TIE victory day by
efficient performance of vital dut-
les ashore. Speaking on behalf of

remaining years of war, the pride
and trust of nation is with you"
Adm. Ernest ]. King, Navy COM

Waves as "a vital part of the
Navy, and said that male personnel

tory is won.'
Navy Secretary Forrestal added

express appreciation for outstand-
ing accomplishment. Every man Of

ledge that your willing efforts will
support him in the battles ahead"
The Navy reported that in the
last two years Waves have filled
10 per cent of the jobs in shore
establishments II the United States,
releasing more than $4,000 for du-
ty at sea or overseas.
Recruiting is continuing at a pace
which indicates, the Navy added,
that the goal of nearly 100000 wom-

NURSERY SCHOOLS
WELL ESTABLISHED

Eight nursery schools in Will
mington under the agement of
the New Hanover board of edu-
cation have become a well estab-
lished part of the county school
system, according to Mrs. Ida B.
Kellum, supervisor.
1.-The Lanham Act funds that
provide for the care of children
of working parents has helped to
make this possible" she said.
Many habits that control chill
drens' ability to become desirable
citizens are formed before they
enter the first grade of public
schools and one of the primary
aims of the nursery schools is
to foster these attitudes, habits
and skills."
The health program for pre-
school children is good at the nur-
sery schools, she said. Children
are inspected each morning be-
fore they play with others. Rest
and sleep at regular periods are
required. Well-balanced lunches
are provided, with an additional
mid-morning glass of juice and
mid afternoon glass of milk with
crackers. The child's intellectual
development is also given atten-
ton, with creative work a part OF
the daily program.
For pre-school white children
nurseries are located in the Vance
building at Maffitt Village, Ra-
leigh building at Maffitt Village.
New Hanover High school, Nesbitt
Courts, and Lake Forest school.
Nurseries for Negro children are
at the Hillcrest Community build
ing, Taylor Homes Community
building, and Queen and Twelfth
streets.

Time Was When

How vast has become the dependence
of great many residents of the city on
public officials to rescue them from the
problems of the winter season was well
exemplified during the past ten days. The
first real Snow-Storm of the winter Is still
with us. This can be traced to two facts.
The weather has remained cold; there has
been little thawing, nor have we had any
rain to wash away the snow. The other
fact Is that the municipal government
has been unable to cope with this storm
as it has with similar ones in past years.
A few years back storm of the size of
this recent one would have been mere
trifle. It would have been possible to
plough out all streets and get Snow-pileS
along the roadside carted away within a
few days. But that was few years ago.
Today the municipal government cannot
find the man power for trucks and
ploughS nor to tackle the more laboriouS
tasks of Shoveling. The city is no differ
ent in this respect than any other en-
ployer. The market in the same is ex-
tremely tight in this acute labor area.
Once upon time people didn't expect
the city fathers to do so much for them
in wintertime. That of course, was the
age before the automobile came into style
OF DecduS yedI-IOuAAu P1edSuAe. OuU
even with the advent of winter driving
there were those who took care of their
sidewalks, their drivewayS, etc. They
might even dig out section along the
curb so that they could park their car in
front of their own property. But times
have changed and we have become mighty
dependent, so much so that sidewalks are
left unshoveled and unsanded, contrary
to the law. A little more neighborly CO.
operation all around might help out in a
situation like the recent snowstorm Gre

Let's Get Up to Billions

1t is difficult for most of us to think
in terms of millions and billions. It is
equally difficult for us to realize the
enormous, yet tangible, cost of war. Yet
we must try to realize these things. We
of Waterbury are being asked to pur-
chase some $14 million worth of war
bonds and stamps as our share of the
nations need for $14 billion to defray
the cost of war. They are astronomical
figures for most of us and we cannot
visualize them.
They are big sums, no doubt and most
of us can't rightfully be expected to CON-
prehend them as tangibles. Yet they are
tangibleS - as tangible as the loneliness
of war, the pain and misery of war, the
fears of war.
We can understand loneliness and pain
and misery and fears - they are all
tangibles in their touch upon us. There
fore, let us remember these latter things
as we form ranks for the Fourth War
Loan Drive, beginning today. Let us think
OF our contributions in the purchase of
bonds as reaSSuring voice in the midst
OF wars loneliness, as opiateS and COM
forts to alleviate the pain and misery of
war and as calm hand to cool the fears.
To the soldier, facing the enemy, comes
many doubts, many intangibleS within
the stark tangibleS of war In the fren-
zied bedlam of battle or during the omin-
GUS lull preceding, his own gum all his
weapons, his companion beside him may
suddenly become intangibles-to him
who used to sit next to you in a Water
bury movie or bus or passed you morn
ings as you went to work. Yet his whole
training demands that he forget these
doubts, these wonders, and think only of
the tangibility of ultimate victory
We must forget our doubts, the
wonders, of millions and billions, of war
costing daily planetary sums, of our buy
ing bonds that list us as the nominal
owners of planes, tanks, ships.
1t requires faith to shake off such
doubts and wonders. That is the soldiers
creed. 1t must now be ours as equally as
much as theirs. The faith that our pur-
chaSeS of war bonds are tangibles - as
tangible as future homes, future genera
tons, future comforts and freedom from
fear. AS tangible as the safe return of
each son who walks in the front door
when peace has come. Or as tangible as
the ultimate, everlasting, rock-bound as
Surance that no mockery will appear at
the door in place of the son who never
will return.
Let us replace the bewildering enormity
of millions and billions, with this kind of
iaith within us. Let each contribution,
each purchase of a war bond represent
humanity, the most tangible of all things
On this earth.

Orchids to California

The California State Board of Agricul-
ture has resolved formally that whenever
the Army will permit Japanese-Americans
to return to their homes in that state,
the board will use its influence to assure
that race prejudice shall not jeopardize
the lawful participation of this Or any
other group in the agricultural life and
industry of the state"
1t ought not to be necessary to praise
any public agency for promising to work
for democracy, but in view of the atti-
tude of many Californians we believe the
Board of Agriculture is entitled to three
big cheers-with a Tigerrrrr at the end,
if that will help.

Views Of The Press

fined to American politicians. II
was an international affair, and
still IS. The British have been in
the habit Of regarding q billion as
million million while Americans
were content with a billion which
contained only a thousand million
This difference would seem to be
wider even than that which divided
the American Parties. It made some
people wonder how you could ever
have a peaceful world, with cooper
alton and good will and all that
sort of thing, when peoples 50
similar as the British and the
Americans couldn't get together
over the question Of few ciphers
more or less in a mathematical ex-
preston.
1t Is with a smile Of satisfaction
therefore, and a grimace toward
Hitler and his ilk, that we note
that the London Economist, a pill
lar of the British way Of life, has
now adopted the American way Of
figuring. For some time 1t had
used "billion" to represent q thou
sand million in all articles on
American affairs. But now 1t has
extended this use to all It's COL
umns. When history. from the per-
spective of few hundred years,
analyses the effect Of the Econo-
mist's departure, the moving finger
may write that 1t was from that
time onward that Americans and
Britons began to understand one
another better than Republicans
and Democrats ever intended to.

So they decided to make this
delivery personal and direct.
An OCD official took private
car, drove across the bridge, and
drew up before the South Load
ing" entrance Of the giant build
ing. A crew of workmen were
laitering inside the entrance, but
they offered no assistance in TAX
ing the carful of packages into
Pentagon. And when asked, they
refsued to hpel.
It turned out that the men
were "loaders," not 'unlOaderS,"
and their union rules forbade
them to lift packages into the
building; they could only lift them
out.
CHINESE LADY LEADER
The residence of the Chinese
ambassador to Washington, DR..
Wei Tao-ming, and Madame Wei.
is known as Twin Oaks. The
name Is symbolic. This couple
are almost as strong in the coun-
ellis of the Chinese National Peo-
pies Party as the GeneraliSsimo
and Madame Chang.
Madame Wei Is no willow tree.
She stands like an oak beside her
husband. Few people are aware
of the part she has played in
reshaping the Government OF
China.
When only Is, she became a
leader In the revolution against
the emperor. She went to Japan
Joined the Chinese revolutionary
party and was sent back to Pc
king as q listening post. Her
fathers home became q recOlu-
tiOnary headquarters.
She even volunteered to carry
bombs from Tentsin to Picking.
Back and forth she went, bring
ing enough bombs to the capt.
tai to start the revolution.
After the crisis was over, the
party sent her to France as re-
ward. There, in a Paris law
school, she met Wei Tao-ming
They returned to Shanghai to-
gether to practice law, and there
they were married.
In 1922, when DR.. Sun Yat-sen
organized the revolt against the
Peking government, they both
threw themselves into the cause.
And when the new National Gov
eminent was established in Nam
king in 1925, Madame Wei was Of
fered the post Of Minister Of JUS
tice. But she demurred, and
urged that her husband be ap-
pointed instead.
This was 10 be the first Of
three occasions when the ORR
entail lady stepped aside in favor
