Future Use OF Camps

The hope that continued use Of Camp Davis
and Fort Fisher military properties rests up
on the decision Of the Veterans Administra-
ton following an inspection tour by John J..
Gallagher, member Of the Administration 5
construction service, last week.
Mr.. Gallagher is expected to submit re.
port on his survey shortly. Meanwhile Camp
Davis will be utilized by the Army through
December 81.

tration take over after that date has the active
SUI tort of Sen. R. R. Reynolds and other
HIGH federal officials, as well Of interested
cit in New Hanover, Fender and Ons-
low counties, who have been at work on the
project without ceasing for some time.
The question, therefore, hinges upon the rec
concentrations to be contained in Mr.. Gala
gher's report.
The fact that the Camp Davis health rec
ord has been excellent and the cost of op-
Grafton low, may be expected to have fav-
orable influence upon the report. Even dis
counting the proved economy in operation,
the fact that disease has been at minimum
while upwards of thirty thousand troops were
in training there is a strong argument for the

An Object Lesson

Ii the people Of the United States need an
example to show how their private industries
have outstripped the AFOREMENTIONED or gov
nment-dominated industries of Europe and
other parts of the world all they have to look
at is the oil industry as one example. Over
night, American oil producers were called on,
not only ito supply unheard Of quantities of fuel
oils, gasoline, and lubricating oils for our own
mammoth war plans but they were required
to supply the bulk Of the oil and fuels for our
Allies.
They met all war requirements. On top Of
this, the industry had to take the lead in pro.
ducing the basic materials for synthetic rub.
Der and in producing quantities Of high test
gasoline actually surprising imagination.
While private enterprise was 'oiling' the
war machine of the United Nations, some Of
our finest government-owned oil reserves were
prevented from producing, while politicians
wrangled over how the job should be done.
In the face Of unheard of demand, the price
Of gasoline is far below that of World War 1
while taxes on the product are at all-tims
highs If our oil industry had ever faltered,
the United Nations air fleets, navies and ar.
mored forces could not be doing the jobs they
are today. Yes, indeed, the oil industry is an
object lesson as to why government should
leave development of productive enterprise ia
the unrestrained initiative of its citizens.

The as yet unrevealed story Of

Hour Before Dawn Is Tedious

The Hour Before the Dawn" was
"a pot-boiler which Somerset Maui
CHAM dashed off in the early DAYS
of the war 1t was one of the most
minor of his works, a tale of
pacifist son, pretty German spy
and an atmosphere of smugness and
appeaSement in one of the stately
homes of England which the author
knows so well, Just how minor it
was became painfully apparent at
Loew's Capitol yesterday where,
under the original title, it turned up
as vehicle for Franchot Tone and
Veronica Lake. If it is not the most
pretentlouS and tedious piece of the
season 1t is not the fault of Para
mount or its stars, who make the
hour one of the dullest that ever
preceded any dawn.
The worst thing about the Capt.
tolls screen drama, to get it out of
the way first, is Miss Lake. A girl
who always gave some observers
feeling that she was overrated, she
proves it beyond a doubt on this
occasion. Her poSturing as the
pretty spy and d1ction that SOUNDS
like Mae West speaking with an
Austrian accent amount easily to
the years most exasperating per-
formance. Tone, as the consci-
entious objector son of the Hether-
ton family, is not much better. but
he is allowed the redeeming func-
ton of killing off Miss West before
the picture peaches an end.
Paramount, acting as if it thought
1t had another of Human Bond
age" in this piece of Second-rate
Vaughan, retrieved something of
merit from the Indifferent plot by
casting some of the subordinate
parts rather better than they de-
served. AS the fighting father of
the Hethertons, Henry Stephenson
achieves something better than a
stock portrait, and so do John
Sutton and Binnie Barnes as the
other son and daughter -in-law. The
salvage is not a great deal, but it
does indicate Maugham's unques-
tionable skill in creating character
when he has the assistance of COM
petent actors.
