U.S.O. Reports
Lower Costs

The U.S.O. advisory committee at
its regular meeting at the Amer
lean Legion Home Monday evening
heard the usual financial reports,
which showed that the U.S.O. had
had smaller expenditures during
the preceding month because of less
attendance at the club. II is I'M
determinable whether this is due
TO fewer men stationed at the Base
or that the men have felt less
need of the club during the last
month said James Maloney. U.S.O
representative OF this area.
Due TO the small attendance at
the meeting Mr., Maloney said that
discussion OF future plans was
postponed.

Editorial Comment
FIFTY STATES IN SIGHT

It is gratifying that Secretary 1ckes recon-
mends that two new States be added to the
American union-Hswaii and Alaska. This will
make an even so and round out half hum
dred commonwealth. The genius of our re-
public is self-government. The time to-, end
rule Of these two territories from Washington
has come. We obtained Alaska by purchase
from Russia in the late COS in payment Of the
cost of sending the Russian fleet to American
waters as show of friendship. and we grab.
bed Hawaii in way that smacked Of imperial
ism after Americans had taken over the rich
sugar lands from the natives.
In the air world of today Alaska and Hawaii
have become of the highest importance and
they ought to be incorporated as States with
out delay.-Raleigh News and Observer.

CT Schools

Veterans who have gone back to
school have found themselves in an un-
familiar environment. As result they
are i'll at ease and only by the greatest
effort able to take up the routine Of
classroom work.
After their experiences in the armed
services, the life in camp and foxhole
and the daily contact with death in its
most narrowing aspects, they are not
at home in the quiet of schools among
civilian pupils to whom the war is most
~ a recollection of salvage drives and
war bond campaigns.
The truth is, they need reconversion
as much as industry, and however great
the effort put forth by faculties and
pupils to restore them to the peace-tlme
attitude toward life, little if any pro-
gress is being made in this essential un-
dertaking.
1t is questionable, therefore, if the
privilege under the CT Bill of Rights OF
continuing their education in existing
schools, colleges and universities is as.
bencficient as it sounds theoretically.
Would it not be better, more practi-
cal, and produce more satisfactory re-
suits, if special schools were created ex
clusively for veterans, along the lines OF
the university set up in England for
them and the teaching staffs drawn
from the military establishment? At
least the veterans taking courses in
them would be among buddies who talk
their language, and the teachers, &C
customed to enforcing discipline unfa-
miliar in civilian life, would receive the
obedience the veterans have given their
officers during their war service as
matter of course and be grateful to do
50.
A year in such a school probably
would reorient the veteran to civilian
life as no other educational facility
could do, and with the alertness >culti-
waited in the armed ranks to high de-
gree inevitably would enable former
servicemen to do two university years
work in a single term.
The veteran who entered the serv-
ice after high school graduation prob
ably would complete the full university
four.yea courses in two.
If a grateful nation wants to do a
constructive thing for it's veterans it
will establish special CT schools.

Presidential Succession

Washington is hearing fresh argu-
ments for revision of the presidential
and vice presidential succession. They
have become stronger since President
Truman started a plane trip on Christ
mas to his Missouri home in heavy fog.
Since his Missouri take off for
Washington, also in foggy weather,
there has not been time for much in
crease in the discussion, but it will
come, and shortly. A President with so
little regard for his personal safety
Mr.. Truman is an inveterate airman-
becomes national source of grave
anxiety.
In the present case the anxiety is
doubled by the many absences of Sec
rotary Of State Byrnes from the coun-
try in attending many internation-
al conferences and whose succession to
the presidency is consequently in Pc
riod;cal jeopardy.
Mr. Truman proposed revision in the
succession law, it will be remembered,
shortly after entering the White House,
and the House of Representatives went
along with him to the extent of provid-
ing the Speaker of the House and the
President Pro Tempore of the Senate
should move up, but the Senate has tax
en- no action on the proposal.
President Truman is understood to
want Congress to take diNnite action,
whether on his previous proposal or
some new plan is not revealed, as one
of the first measures after Congress re-
ASSEMBLIES.
Certainly action is indicated. The sit
uation is untenable. Let Congress give
whatever time is required for this legis-
lation.

THE NEW CARDINALS

Announcement by the Vatican of the selec-
ton of 80 men to be created cardinals of the
Roman Catholic church is a matter of pro-
found interest because from it one may infer
belief Of the Vatican that world affairs
have entered new era and that new direc-
ton may be expected to continue for years to
come. Prudent leaders do not make profound
changes in time when no direction is in
Dictated
number Of interesting md important de-
tails are carried in the announcement. APP
pointments will fill the College of Cardinals to
it's maximum number of 70 members. A major
ty will be non-Italian. The United States for the
first time will have as many as five members
Of the Sacred College. A Chinese will become
a member as will a spiritual leader of the
non-Latin Armenian Ca t h Ollie, rite En-
glish-speaking Canada as well as French-speak-
ing Canada will have a representative in the
person of the archbishop of Toronto Two of
the most uncompromising opponents of Hit
lerism in Germany, the bishops of Muenster
and Berlin, will receive the red hat.
In the day-to-day attempts to reach bet
ter world order, mans progress may seem to
be an sinless cropping. But over long term
of years certain consistency of direction can
be seen. The earnest effort to create United
Nations organization for peace gives promise
that coming years will bring more progress.
The Vatican appointments indicate that the
church believes an era Of relative stability is
about to open.-The Fayetteville Observer.

GIN Within Its Rights

The Star-News has not conceded the
right of striking workers to know the
profits made by their employers nor
permit them to be the basis for wage
negotiations. It therefore believes Gen.
eral Motors is we'll within it's rights in
refusing to bare it's ledgers at the Fact
Finding hearings or consent to have
the figures therein used as lever for
raising the wage scale of the strikers
at it's plants. Its withdrawal from the
hearings, therefore, appears fully justi-
fled.
At the same time the company's an
nouncement that it is willing to continue
direct negotiations with the striking
workers, obviously indicates it's posi-
ton. General Motors can be just as
lardboiled as the G.. 1. O. and does not
propose to have any group step into
the controversy, particularly, as it con-
tends, profits as we'll as prices Involve
forecasts and assumptions" in which,
we may wen suppose, one mans guess
is as good as another.
General Motors IS to be commended
for holding it's ground so staunchly.

Theodore Dresser

Theodore Dresser, who seemed al
ways on the point of producing a great
book, but always fell short because he
lacked the essential quality of great
novelist of submerging himself wholly
IN his characters, but who nevertheless
had large following and attained a
large measure of popular success, died
following a heart attack in Hollywood
on Friday night, at IA.
Not so strange as it might seem ex-
sept for similar experiences by other
writer's, Mr.. Dresser gained his popular
Ny, not through the high quality of his
stories but by adverse criticism. His
"Sister Carrie furnishes an example.
The book was suppressed by the pub
hshers when the critics derided it, yet
became one of his most widely read
novels when reissued later.
Best known Of all the products of his
prolific pen, Gan American Tragedy
