Keeping Up With British

borough and in the laboratories OF private
manufacturers.
Special attention is to be paid to the newer
problems of aerodynanics, such as the be-
havlor OF aircraft at speeds above that OF
sound, problems which the advent of jet-pro.
PEELED planes have already posed.
Our military authorities have been conduct
ing, as part of the war effort, similar research
in cooperation with the National Advisory
Council for Aeronautics The work, and Of
course, the findings and conclusions are ~wa1
secrets at present. One interesting discovery
can be disclosed, however. And that is that
when plane speed nears that OF sound, all prev
iously proven rules and laws Of aerodynamics
mean nothing.
For the sake Of our future defense and oul
future in commercial aviation, continued CO
operative research by government and private
industry is essential.

becomes even more so. Thus we can't be sure
what was going through the mind Of the Ger
man soldier we read about who gave himself
up to the Americans with these words:
Surrender - New York-Detroit-John l..
Lewis - Surrender
We can scarcely hope that Nazi education
taught and identified those names in a very
hattering light. But still there's an outside
chance that what he was really trying to say
was this:
Il surrender to the people who piled on a
narrow island the worlds most imposing mass
of masonry to house great. rich city which
stands today, unbombed and unharmed
II surrender to the people of another great
city, one of many arsenals, whose planes and
bombs and guns have blasted our own great
arsenal of the Ruhr to rubble, and all but
leveled our once proud capital Of Berlin.
II surrender to a country where a strong
man can defy the orders and wishes Of the
government, wrongly and in time of war, and
still live

For Federal Bench

With the endorsement Of Senators Bailey
and Hoey Solicitor Donnell Gillian Of Tarboro
will, in accordance with long existing pre-
cedent, receive President Truman's nomina-
ton for federal judge in the eastern district
over which Judge Isaac M Meekins Of Eliza
beth City presided so long and so well.
That President Truman will send in his
nomination is indicated by the fact that Sena-
tors Bailey and Hoey let their recommended
ton of him be known only after they had
conferred with the President.
Mr.. Gillian has been in public service many
years. For more than twenty years he has
been solicitor in the Second Judicial district
and for twenty-nine years chairman of the
Edgecombe County Democratic Committee. He
is widely and favorably known in the Old
North State.
In their letter to President Truman, written
after the White House conference, in which
they urged his nomination, Senators Bailey
and Hoey declare he will maintain the great
tradition of our federal bench" In adding,
''his appointment will be accepted with glad.
ness by the people whom he will serve as
judge" they have struck popular note.

Unreasonably Regional

This country is 50 full of regional pride and
nreiudice that inevitably a lot OF political
journalists fastened to explain the first Presi-
dent from Missouri with Missourlan symbols
There was marked tendency, especially
among the Washington and New York WRITER'S
to appraise Mr.. Truman's qualities and predlct
his course of action in terms OF the healthy
.kepticism and mulish resolution with which
tradition has endowed the natives OF his state
Less specific writer's sought to interpret the
new President against the more general back
ground of his Midwestern origin. But quick
look around might convince the most casual
seeker after typical Midwestern political
chara cteristics that there amt no such ami
mails.
It might be noted first that ALI M. Landon
comes from Kansas, and Henry A. Wallace
from Iowa. Senator c. Wayland Brooks is from
Illinois. So is the poet and Assistant Secretary
of State, Archibald MacLeish Wendell Wnlkie
was a native Hoosier, as is Senator Ray Willis
Senator Joe Ball halls from Minnesota, and
former Senator Gerald Nye from North Dakota
Now scramble them all together and try
to find common political denoninatcr. You
find instead that the theory Of typical Mid
western political temperament has been nip
ped right in its grass roots.
The same divergence can be found among
prominent politicians from any other section
of the country No further examples are neces-
sary to prove that you can no more explain
Harry S. Truman politically in terms Of prairie
farmland than you can explain Franklin D.
Roosevelt in terms Of Groton and Harvard.
Probably our regional thinking is a hold
over from century ago when the CULTS be-
tween industrial New England, the agricul-
tural South and the frontier West were very
real and very wide. Some of the basic econo-
mic differences remain today and probably
always will But the expansion and develop
ment OF our country, and particularly the abun-
dance and speed Of transportation, make bar
rers Of thought inexcusable today.
And yet regionalism still exists as result
Of habit, thoughtlessness and, to some extent,
political expediency that fosters it. It is a
mild form of bigotry and not too serious, per-
haps. But it is not good, either.
Today especially we need to be Americans
first OF all in our political thinking. President
Truman has appealed to every American, re-
CARELESS Of party, race, color or creed,'' for
support in the effort to gain lasting world
peace. He will need that support in all his
new and difficult duties.
That does rot mean we must be uncritical,
unthinking robots. Unity, not uniformity, is
what we need. And it will be easier Of attain
ment if we can get over the habit Of viewing
our fellow citizens in other sections OF the
country with contempt suspicion or condes-
cension, and crediting them with mass think
ing based on some cock-eyed geographical
concept.
