Out In Front

So far as returns from Sundays election in
France indicated at noon yesterday, General
de Gaulle, though not candidate for any
office, won a moral victory.
Two issues apparently were settled. They
are:
O-A Constituent Assembly will draft a
new constitution rather than attempt to re-
build the government on the 1885 document
which was the foundation of the third repub-
lie.
(2)-The executive power will be vested in
provisional government during the seven
months the Assembly sits rather than in the
Assembly itself.
While the campaign was in progress, de
Gaulle had strongly advocated approval Of a
Constituent Assembly and urged, II this was
successful taat sovereign power be left in
the hands of his government until the new
constitution becomes effective.
With the support his proposition received al
the polls it would be reasonable to assume

Co-Equal Air Force

The effort to combine the Army and the
Navy into a single national defense force,
which is favored by the former and opposed
by the latter, has brought the Army Air Force
chief to the fore with the contention that air
power should have co-equal strength and in
fluence with the Army and the Navy. In his
testimony before the Senate Military Commit
tee General H. H. Arnold commanding Off
Ger of the Army Air Force, said:
ut is apparent from any school room globe
that war can come through the air to the
very heart of this country. 1t can come with
weapons of types now in our own possession,
and without any land or naval action.
"Suca developments as the atomic bomb,
the w and the whole range of radio-directed
and honning missiles accentuate the security
problems of the air. Responsibility for rapid
and powerful offensive against the source will
rest on the air force"
It was only through the pressure brought to
bear by Secretary of War Stimson and Chief
of Staff Marshall that the Air Force attained
co-equal status during the conflict, General
Arnold testified, and if the war were formally
declared over today the d1rectlVeS under
which this was accomplished would end and
the Army Air Force would revert to the 1888
status as subordinate Army branch like the
cavalry and engineers And Gin all earnest
ness,'' he added: 'the security Of this coun'
try and the maintenance of world peace de-
mand that our military establishment include
a co-equal component devoted exclusively to
the problems of the air.
It is his belief, he declared, that the reor-
ganization should give the Air Force enough
recognition and ability to obtain COMPRESSION
al appropriations to keep in adquate condi-
ton to meet any national emergency.
Whether the proposal for single national
defense force is carried out or fails, there is
little reason to oppose General Arnold's ap-
peal for a powerful air force inasmuca as
any future war will be fought from the air.
Otherwise, and if the other major powers
concentrate upon air power, as they most GER
tainly would, we would be at even a greater
disadvantage than we were when World War
II started.

Sounds Swell

We have become so accustomed to ship
ments from this country to foreign ports of
about everything anyone's heart, or stomach
could desire, that word of imports of copper
to help meet our own deficiencies in this es-
sential metal is as welcome as baby's smile
Think of it! Actually the United States is to
be on the receiving end at last A Wall Street
column says:
"It is predicted that the Metals Reserve
Company will allocate up to $4,000 tons of
foreign copper for delivery to domestic man
ufacturers next months, or the largest since
Germany's surrender, because domestic con-
sumption already is running well ahead of the
ability of undermined domestic mines to pro-
duce copper in the quantity needed. Last
month primary copper production in this
country was ga 1863 tons, the lowest since 1889,
and refined production slunped to 45,145 tons,
the smallest since August, 1888. While a. large
part of the foreign copper expected to be re-
leased next month will be from United States
purchases of October refined output, the re-
mainder will come out of the stock piles. The
United States buying program abroad ends
with October refining. however, indicating that
the stock piles will henceforth be the source OF
the metal needed to complement what is pro-
duced at home.''

Jap War Crime Trials

At last it appears probable that Japanese
guilty of war crimes will face retribution in
special courts. General MacArthur's legal ad-
wiser, Colonel Alva C. Carpenter has said in
Tokyo that international tribunals may be set
up for their trials and that Emperor Hirohito
is not exempt.
AS the law is famous for its delays it prob
ably will be some time before the first case
is called, but it is something to know that the
men who engineered the war in the Pacific
and that single Japanese, whether in official
position or mere soldiers who practiced bar
ltary service or mere civilians. eventually
will have to answer before the bar of justice
tor their crimes.
Some two thousand Japanese are said to
be on the lists for trial. This is but few OF
the total who violated the laws of war and
humanity during the conflict. More than two
thousand slew or beat and tortured Ameri-
cans in the Philippines alone. Naturally it will
be the Allies object to find evidence upon
which they can convict the other thousands
equally guilty in the southwest Pacific. Nc
effort ought to be spared to bring in every
barbarian wherever he was in action during
the war and make him pay the price of his
crimes.
AS Hirohito has admitted that he signed the
document that launched the sneak attack or
Pearl Harbor, he should be head the list O.
defendants when his usefulness has ended.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. % - up
- The big family monopolies in
Japan, the Zaibatsu, are said to
claim that they were forced by the
military to cooperate in Japan's
war effort.
Their cooperation was insignifi-
cant, it is further CLAIMED.
In July, 1914, the United States
Foreign Economic Administration
issued complete list of the major
pre-war japanese industrial firms
presumed to be behind Japan's war
effort. It listed several hundred
names.
Here are the firms in Japan
proper which the FEA listed as
bearing the names of the two best
known of the Zaibatsu trusts (there
are about ten altoghether:

ACCIDENTS MAR
QUIET WEEKEND

Eleven more automobile acct
dents, none of a serious nature,
were reported by city, county and
state police in the New Hanover
section over the weekend.
Although no fatalities were re-
ported, the traffic mishaps added
to the STRENGTHENING toll of ac-
cidents which have occurred in
this area since July 1. For the
period covering July through mid
October, alone, five highway
deaths were reported, bringing to
eight the total thus far in 1915.
Chief of Police c. H. Casteen,
Patrol Sgt. J. R. Smith and Judge
H. Winfield Smith have repeated
ly warned traffic law violators that
they are "clamping down." in an
effort to curb the ever-rising num-
Der OF accidents. Yet, city police
yesterday reported an even higher
than usual number of traffic mis-
haps over the weekend.
OIe OF the more serious Saturday
night occurrences was heard in
Recorders court yesterday by
Judge Smith. Arson Grady, Jr., 23-
year-old white mechanic was order
ed to make restitution totaling over
$500 for property damage he al
legedly caused when he struck a
pickup truck operated by Charlie
Waters on the Market street road.
Grady, who resides at Middle
Sound, was found guilty of de-
molishing Waters truck and COM
pletely running a stove and some
groceries being hauled in it.
Waters suffered injuries to his face
and other bruises.
Also reported by state patrolmen
was an accident on U. S. 421, at
the intersection of the Airport road
at 9 o'clock Sunday night.

James Street is known as a
writer who knows about boys and
dogs and Southern history. On the
basis of ''The Gauntlet" he also
knows about religion-at least as
the Baptists see it.
Street goes far OFT of his pre-
vious path here, in the story OF
London Wingo and his trials as a
small town, small church, pastor.
Yet he writes with a sound, sure
hand of theology and creed, of
practice and preaching. Maybe the
answer is that Street himself once
was a Baptist preacher, and left
the seminary just as London
Wingo did and for the same rea-
son: 81 was broke and we were
expecting our first BABY
Naturally that raises the
question: How much of 'The
Gauntlets," is photographed?
Street says he never knew a
preacher like Wingo. I made him
up out OF several preachers" But
I'll bet one of the several was

bers Hartzen Spence's account OF

Streets story lacks the free, def

Perhaps that is because, by the
authors admission, London Winge

the author is leading him unduly
by the hand, especially in those
paragraphs which obviously are
Streets own observations on
what his characters should or
should not do. The result is a loss
to objectivity.
But ct h e Gauntlet" November
