ter-club meeting of Whitevil,e
Rotarians and Civita will
chrlsten the new community club
room in the west wing of the arm

Climaxing several months of
work in turning the wing into a
community club room, the meet

ing point in civic club work in
Whiteville.
Neither club mas hitherto had a
permanent meeting place and dur
ing the summer months especial
ly, it has been difficult to find a
satisfactory place. During the
school session the Rotary club has
been meeting in the high school
cafeteria.
The new club room comprises
a kitchen, large banquet hall and
lounge room. It has been COM
pleteIy furnished and decorated
to make an attractive meeting
place. Both clubs have indicated
that it will be for the use of all
civic groups for either business or
social purposes.
Mrs. O. L. Owens has been Sc
cured to prepare meals for the
Rotary and Civitan clubs.

Cincinnati Enquirer
 In popular belief American, British and Russian military scientists have long been outdistanced the Germans and our technical equipment far surpasses that of the enemy This is belief not altogether untrue but at the same time not altogether true.
 German mechanical ingenuity still is functioning at an unmpared pace and in some weapons the German soldier is better equipped than ours. The German 88-mm. gun the outstanding weapon in the Battle of Africa until the British Eighth Army broke the back of the Africa Korps with greater concentration of artillery and planes.
 On the Italian front now, the front where the Germans have traded miles for time so advantageous ly the Nazis using several superior weapons With devastating effect. One is arm our troops call 'burp gun" and which the Germans refer to as a machine pistol It is a submachne gun about as big as the familiar tommy gun and shoots slug somewhat smaller than tommy gun but shoots twice as fast The fire is continuous that the noise it makes is virtually "burp" hence our slang name for it. The "burp gun is deadly at close range, be- cause of its ability to fire like water from hose and to cover an area with heavy rain of lead. The Germans equip three men out of each squad of eight with these 'burp guns" and it can readily be ap- precated how effective they on defense. Anyone hit by burp gun" is likely to be struck with several dozen sugs because of its rate of fire at 20 slugs second.
 Then there is a six -barreled mortar which the Germans have been using effectively And since they have been forced on the defensive the Nazis have made land mines hideousy effective They use them as unnamed artillery, to contest the Allied advance at almost every in the road Then there are the robot bombs which German scientists developed too late to be of decisive effect in the war, but which have been terrible scourge to Southeastern England
 The Allied of atrition against the Reich, par tcularly from the air has cramped the abilities of German military scientists That is factor very much in our favor, because have the industrial facilities to turn out in quantity any new weapon that emerges from our ordnance laboratories
 But we still can't afford to go to sleep (and there is no indication that we are). One of the decisive facts of history was the technical superiority of the British Spitfire the much more abundant types of German planes in l940 But for that most likely the Axis would be ruling the world today.

 It was Littell who fought the title companies in order to get the titles to Government purchased land cleared more quickly, thus speed up payments to thousands of farmers forced to give up their land to Army camps.
 Littell was in the thick of almost every Justice Department fight in- volving liberal causes, and each fight got him more in the Attor- ney Generals thinning hair. What especially nettled Riddle was the way in which some Senators and Congressmen got hold of. Littells interdepartmental reports, used them to fire back at Riddle. This week Littell's Senatorial friends plan to light more bonfires under Riddle regarding the resignation of his tempestuous, hard-hitting lib- e1al assistant.

Benefic aspects rule today which should be most fortunate. It is a date which should be marked by cheering news regarding war prog ress toward final victory
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration the heart may rule the head Nasty marriages again may cause concern in many Ameri- can families but parental aecept- ance should be cordial and philo- sophical Many foreign wives will complicate domestic relations but their adjustments to strange cus- toms should be aided by under standing and sympathy.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Competi- tion of airplane companies for post war Government contracts may be keen with definite advantages for leaders in the great industry The stock market will reflect optimism as the year draws to close.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Erasure of old prejudices in the south will be of paramount concern Because standpat Congressmen reflect them, realization of true democracy will be. retarded and wrong impressions of the national point of view will be widespread
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
 Victorious return of the United States armed forces to the Philip pines will mark the beginning of tremendous development of the people who have demonstrated their patriotism. A prosperous future for a successful Independent nation is prognosticated,
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of suc- cess and happiness. Courtship and marriage are indicated for many of these subjects of the Archer.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be intelligent, intuitive and idealistic. Business acumen will assure brilliant careers.

AIR-PARLEY INCIDENT

On the day the international air conference opened in Chicagos Stevens Hotel, the room clerk found himself confronted by two Rus sians who wanted rooms for the duration of the conference.
 Your reservations have been cancelled" replied the clerk.
 Who cancelled them?" asked one Russian
 The State Department"
 That's outrageous responded the Russian. They can't do this to us. We'll protest to our Govern ment"
 "Okay-protest," replied the clerk. We have our orders
 The Russians then called their consul in Chicago, learned for the first time what had been headline news--that the Soviet Union had pulled out of the air conference

a complete stop to it. When the amendment came to vote, only three Senators opposed: Bilbo of Mississippi, where cheap IVA power has been boon to the state; Pepper of Florida, a strong advocate of public power; and one Republican, Robertson of Wyoming
 Voting for the amendment and the private power industry were three Republicans and longer list of Democrats-Burton of Ohio, Wiley of Wisconsin, Brewster of Maine, all Republicans; and Ben nett Clark of Missouri, Bailey of North Carolina, Radcliffe of Mary land (who usually supports FDRl /, Mrs. Caraway of Arkansas (also usually behind the President Arthur Walsh of New Jersey, Ma loney of Connecticut, all Demo- cratS.
 Three of them, Caraway, Clark and Walsh, are lame ducks who will leave Congress in few weeks. But they were careful to be on deck for this vote. Meanwhile, White House advisers have indi- cated that the President will veto the entire flood-control bill if 1t passes with the Bailey amentment.
 NOTE = During the. campaign, Gov. Dewey went considerably fur ther toward Government distribu- tion of power than the Bailey amendment. Although originally favoring sale of power at dam without building transmission lines, Dewey partially reversed himself in his Seattle speech, said he fa- vored sale through either channel

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26
 Mingled good and evil planetary influences are active today. The configuration is promising to the nation which must accept with fortitude the high cost of victory.
 HEART AND HOME: Women of all ages may be anxious and rest less under this planetary sway which accents the sensitiveness that causes forebodings. It is a day favorable to church attendance and to religious observances.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This may be a week of stimulation for free enterprise and encouragement for small investors in new projects. Inventors, chemists and electricians should profit especially in novel undertakings which are the out growth of wartime exigencies.
 NATIONAL SUES: Motion DlCJuIt Oii biiS PNNtfN mind will be widely recognized in education circles in the coming winter when the historicals value of war films will be demonstrated by remarkable photographs of last ing value.
 INTERNATIONAL A F F A l R s; Gen. Charles de Gaulle, who was born when many celestial bodies were in positive signs, will be firm in his remand for the restoration of France to it's full status of a world power. Certain aspects of Jupiter promise much for the in trepid French leader.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ad- vancement. Business changes should be profitable.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be highly intelligent and able to make the most of life's opportunities.

cut, the Senate has been meeting haphazardly Many seats have been vacant, many Senators have been resting from the recent campaign.
 But when the Senate Commerce Committee met this week, an un- usually large number of Senators showed up. Those on the inside knew the reason. Those not on the inside soon discovered the reason.
 North Carolina's ponderous Sem ator Josiah Bailey began talking. Long supported by the Duke power and tobacco interests, Bailey with no apologies brazenly plunged into eulogy of the Duke Power Com pany and talked of the danger of power competition from the Gov ernment
 Then he introduced an amend ment to the flood-control bill, up for final approval by his commit tee-an amendment which would prevent the Government from building transmission power lines and distributing electric power from the big flood-control projects authorized in the bill
 This is the big b a tile long fought in the west, where the Government has built Grand Coulee Dam, Bonneville Dam, plus other power projects; sometimes has also built transmission lines and dis tributed the power in competition with private companies, as does the Tennessee Valley Authority.
