Smokers Beware

Judging by the destruction resulting from
careless smoking habits, one questions VINE
ther the public is interested in the safety OF
life and property.
Smoking, in those who have the habit, is
process somewhat akin to breathing. Many
smokers will strike match in powder mag
azine or an oil refinery. 1t is an unthlnking
act. and discarding the match, the dottle, or
the cigarette butt is often done without men,

part. The "Enterprise'' did tn G
work of six carriers, at the end
and its job is one that Mr.. Burns
believes unequalled by any ship Of
any navy.
I think the story, as told with
dignity and sincerity by its author
is one of the very best out of this
war. Enterprise" was lucky, oil
course, but with the kind of luck
that is mostly skill. At Midway Air
Group Commander McClusky made
a right decision and turned the
tide; at Guadalcanal Commander
Turner Caldwell was caught out by
darkness, and decided to land his
II planes at Henderson Field. Thus
enabling our Marines to hold their
position.
But for all the brilliant incident,
fully reported, there is steady
accompaniment of sturdy, strong
work-in the Gilbert-Marshal raid,
at Wake, at Marcus Island, at Mid
way Islands, the Santa Cruz Is
lands, the Solomons. These are the
beads Of the Big Els rosary. The
Presidential unit citation is t h e
highest honor any ship can be
awarded, and the Big E. got it
first. For ''Bull'' Halsey as for the
SWede who rescued seven frying
men deep in the carrier, it was
deserved. Mr.. Burns, who first re-
ported all this for The Associated
Press, deserves 4 share too.

Bad News From Home

Writing Of MacArthur's recent successes in
New Guinea and of the jungle fighting that
lies ahead before the island can be completely
freed Of the Japanese forces still unliquidated.
Hanson w. Baldwin, war analyst Of the New
York Times. quotes letter from a soldier
in that theater Of war which reveals not only
tho conditions under which our forces are
fighting but the effect news from home is
having upon them. The letter, Mr.. Hanson
are fighting terrain, climate and disease as
much as japanese And he quotes this dis
tressingly pictorial paragraph:
Hot humid heat insects and ants Of
thousand kinds and descriptions, mosquitoes of
the dengue and malaria type no warm baths
or good fresh food :. tropical sores, itches
and rashes that are hard as hell to heal.
I have a rash that has been with me several
months. :"
Then he adds the following comment from
the soldier on the American scene as gathered
from radio broadcasts. news dispatches and
magazines:
'Too many petty things are being wrangled
over, III anu out OIL congress, ny e0ltOIS SuO
news broadcasters i. too much politics is
being injected into the war effort at home

styled experts and planners Of the future. Why
in hell don't they shut up and concentrate on
winning the war and the peace for all Amer

This letter was written long before the
Montgomery Ward episode What we wonder,
will be his reaction to news that some Of his
buddies at home had been sent into private
business office bodily to remove the head Of
the firm in violation Of every rule Of decency
and Of all the rights Of citizenship?

'Then There Was One" by Eu,
gene Burns (Harcourt, Brace;
$3.50.
When Eugene Burns began writ
ing "Then There Was One'' he
must have made a decision. He
could follow the pattern of the slick
magazines, which is to be "ter-
rifle" to slap everybody verbally
on the back, from dictators to dia-
per babies, to dive-bomb his read
er, as, it were. Or he could report
what he saw in choice English, and
let the unvarnished truth do the
work.
He decided to report, and it was
the right decision. He begins with
the carrier Enterprise sailing
from Pearl Harbor to Wake under
prophetic orders, to deliver a load
of planes. Before she got back to
her base, it h d been attacked.
With IN e exception, the Enter

Lull In Air Blitz

After eighteen days Of continuous bombing,
Germany and German-occupied countries en-
loved day of comparative rest yesterday.
American and British Air Forces took time
out for long breath and plane overhauls, al
though Italylbas bombers rained destruction
again upon Genoa and other harbor cities.
During the eighteen days of the Allied blitz
total of $4,000 tons of bombs were dropped
on Hitler's industries, defenses and communl.
cations The record is this: Eighth U. s. Air
Force, $4,000 tons Ninth U. S. Air Force $500
tons; Royal Air Force, $1,000 tons. These
forces operated from bases in Britain. The
Mediterranean u S. Twelfth and Fifteenth Air
Forces and Raj units dropped $4,000 tons. The
total Of bombs used by the Russian Air Forces
which bombed Polish and Rumanian detectives
have not been announced.
The damage done cannot be accurately ap-
praised but it is certain that Hitlers pro-
duction, particularly Of aircraft his railways
and highways and the coastal defenses he
has been at such expense to build have suffer-
ed heavily. But it would be the height Of folly
to assume that the blitz has left him defense.
less. The Germans are adept at repairing
bomb damage That is why it has been neces-
sary to bomb targets again and again. It is
said that airplane plants. for example, all but
destroyed by Allied bombers in a single raid
have been back in production in 4 matter OF
days. The Germans have placed underground
an apparently exhaustless supply Of replace
ments out OF the reach Of Allied fire and no
sooner has plant been knocked out than
labor crews were installing new machinery
and parts.
The air assault has been enlinently success
full, but it has not been capable Of forcing the
Germans out Of the war. It's accomplishments
mean that Hitler cannot send the Luftwaffe
aloft in sufficient numbers to match the Allies
when the invasion starts Nor can he employ
Europe's railways to the full for the trans
portation Of men, equipment, munitions and
supplies How severely his coastal defenses
have been damaged is problematical, and
probably is much less, proportionately, than
the damage to his industries and transporta-
ton.
But while the air blitz has not brought Hitler
to his knees, the Allied Air Forces will be
far superior to his when our expeditionary
forces set out for Continental Europe. The
Allies have superiority in the air in all Europ-
can theaters of war, and probably have air
supremacy It is reported that when General
Eisenhower sets forth he will be able to raise
an air umbrella variously reported At from
twenty to fifty thousand planes. The protection
they will afford invading forces will be ire

Use Love, Not Hairbrush

correspondent of the New York Times
writes the editor to congratulate him for pub.
fishing Sensible letters on discipline, and
adds "Misled by false conceptions Of Kind
ness I had discontinued spanking my children
a couple Of years ago.
We did not see the ''sensible letters" on dis
cipline referred to by this correspondent, but
assume that they encouraged use Of the hair
brush in the orthodox place as a means of
suppressing recalcitrance in children.
If this in indeed the drift and purport of
the sensible letters, we take issue with
them. It may be true that some children are
born with such contrary minds and spirits
that they may be controlled only by corporal
punishment but they are exceedingly few and
far between. 1t must be rotten youngster
indeed who cannot be persuaded by love.
Children, even in rompers, are intelligent crea-
lures, more easily led than misled, amenable
to reason, completely captivated by affection
and kindness, and yielding readily to persua.
sion.
On the other hand, normal children have
average resentfulness, and if punished are
prone to REBEL with result that they renew
the oHense for which they have been spanked
at every opportunity. Spanking therefore, de-
feats its own purpose by encouraging repeti-
ton of disobedience.
Furthermore, the act of Furnishing children
is too often a means of expressing parental
anger. In this case the parents offense is in

Long in Louisiana. The standard

most Of the normal restraints and
even in the Montgomery Ward
case, an important issue in the
presidential election if Mr.. Roose-

Whoever handles the democratic

self unable to pitch the key. The
political literature of the extreme

A Seaside Highway

While planning for a greater community
when the war is won and peace secure, Will
nington will have overlooked major oppor-
tunity for profit and service if it neglects to
bring the development of its beach resorts to
a high level of perfection. -
It is impossible accurately to estimate the
number of vacationists and permanent resi-
dents that might be attracted if the coastal
region were improved and widely advertised,
but because of its natural advantages it is
safe to say that no beach area on the Atlantic
seabord could Guido it in patronage-not even
Atlantic City, Asbury Park and the other re-
sorts that have the great population OF New
York to draw upon.
One reason is that southeastern North Caro-
lima beaches are better than those farther
north. Another is that this region is not as
subject to severe summer storms as they. Still
another is that the shore waters are warmer
for longer period. But none of these can be
utilized to the full until man-rnade advantages
are added.
Among these advantages, none Is more I'M
portant than highway linking separate dis
tricts; not merely paved road behind sand
dunes, but great traffic way at level high
enough to afford g clear view Of the ocean
throughout its entire length, and not merely
from Wrightsville Beach to Carolina Beach
but from Sears Landing to Bald Head Island.
Since the Army has converted Sears Land
ing into firing point there have been made
many Improvements which could be enlarged
and utilized when the Army moves out. Bald
Head Island, as everybody knows, is ideally
situated for development. A great esplanade
connecting these points would pay big divi-
dends, whatever the cost of construction in
GLIDING breakwaters and bridges.
No lively imagination is needed to envision
continuous resort from one end to the other
within a decade from its opening. The plan
ners and city builders will do well to consider
the project, place it among their major I'M
dertakings and begin now to consider its Il
nancing.

PYLE TO ENGLAND

In the last of his dispatches
from Naples, from where he
has just flown to England.
Pyle says goodby to the men
of our Army in Italy.
''There is some exhilaration
here and some fun" he writes,
"along with the misery and the
sadness, but on the whole it
has been bitter. Few at US can
ever conjure up any truly fond
memories OF the Italisn cam
paign.
THE enemy has been hard,
and so have the elements. Men
have to stay too long in the
lines. A few men have borne
a burden they felt should have
been shared by many more. :"
