CITIZENS URGE
MORE POLICE PAY

Speaking on behalf of members
of the Police Department, who
are seeking a more substantial pay
increase than the S. blanket raise
tentatively agreed on by City Of
ficials, several prominent Will
mingtonians joined special COM
mittee of policemen yesterday in
an appeal before the City Coun-
Gil.
J. G.. Thornton, president of a
Wilmington bank, termed the po-
lice officers the public relations
officers of the City," saying that
he was entirely in sympathy with
them. He said he did not desire
any action which would increase
the proposed budget of $1,600, 900,
but contended that City officials
should be able to "sift through
thing as large as the budget in
an effort to find the needed S9,-
600.
Others appearing in behalf of the
Police Department were Alton
Lennon, attorney; George H. HUI
taft and Harry Thurman, Whining
ton businessmen.
Members OF. the special commit
tee were Sgt. L. B. Rourk and OF
ficers Earl Sanders and G. R. H.
Peterson.
1t was explained that the officers
were seeking $22 so monthly in.

ton of one years service.
Mr.. Hutaff called attention to
the problem presented by emo.
tionally and mentally unstable
veterans. He stressed the fact that
these men deserved understanding
treatment. eve owe these men a
debt, ne declared. eve owe them
all we've got.''
The Wilmington police force, he
continued, is as clean as that Of
any city.
We who have our capital and
businesses depend on these men.
No man could hire Mr.. Thornton
or myself to come up here and
speak for him. We came because
we We got a business, we've got
something at stake" he asserted.

The high cost of keeping a neal

Through At P0tsdam

The Big Three conference at Potsdam is
ended the members en- route home. President
Truman flew to England to shake hands and
chat with King George, the first American
Chief Executive to put foot on the tight little
isle since Woodrow Wilson. Prime Minister
Clement Attlee boarded plane for London or
Whereabouts and probably is now enjoying a

his Colonel House, Harold Laski. Premier
Stain of Russia-Well, we know so little of
what goes on within Russia it would be foolish
to hazard guess on his whereabouts or i'm
mediate companions But because of the Rus
sian Army's ascendency it may be that he is
giving the Red Military leaders an account
OF the Potsdam transactions and his impress
sions of his consultants there.
The significant thing about the Potsdam
parley seems to be that it closed in harmony
and that its final sessions were peaceful. This
is the more likely to have been the situation
because those sessions were not influenced by
the inevitable showmanship of former similar
conferences when former President Roosevelt
and the former British Prime Minister, Win
The world at large is deeply interested in
what transpired, but the world is not likely to
learn much, at this time President Truman
will make his report to the American people
upon his return. But because the closing cam
paigns of the Japanese war are at hand and
thereafter peace conference is to be held,
what he says now will necessarily be more
sketchy than informative lest by speaking
plainly he give the Japanese too clear a pic
ture of what is in store for them and so let
them make extraordinary defense preparations
and at the same time stir up unnecessary diff
fculties for the delegates at the peace table.
There can be little doubt that the Big Three
gave the japanese war their major attention
with Russia's entry the chief subject Of dis
cCssion. But we may be sure no advance
notice will be given anywhere if Stain did in
deed commit the Soviet Union to participation
therein.
Many observers hold that you couldn't keep
Russia out OF the Pacific conflict. Their view
is based on the fact that Russia has much to
gain and little to lose by throwing in with the
United States and Great Britain at this stage
of the war. There is not only the outcome of
the Russo-Japanese war to avenge. Russia has
great interests in Asia and would like to in
crease them. But the issue undoubtedly is in
the hands of the Army If the generals decide
they want to fight a little longer, Russia will
line up with the Western Allies. II they think
Russia has had enough OF war Russia will
remain neutral, outwardly at least. Following
their success in Europe, the generals, more
than Stain, apparently are the real rulers of
the Soviets.

A man who travels around as

their subject.
The story about submarines was

timid than Navy sub crews, de-

SENATE SUBCR0UP
0KEHS owl FUNDS
BY Mauldin

WASHINGTON, June 49, @ -
Most OF the money which the
House cut from the Office of War
Information's appropriations was
restored today by a Senate SUBJ
committee.
The appropriations subcommit.
at a closed session, approved $780,.
750,000 for the agency for the year
beginning July l. A $4,000, 900
Budget Bureau recommendation
had been scaled down to $35, 000,-
600 by the House Appropriations
Committee, and the House slashed
it further to $4,000, 900.
Gen. George c. Marshall, Army
chief of staff, had in effect asked
reconsideration of the House cuts
which eliminated all funds for
Owl operations in Europe. Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower had written
that other provisions would have to
be made to carry on work OWL
is doing in Europe.
In another action on 5000, 000,-
600 supply bill for nearly two dozen
war agencies, the Senate subcom-
mittee voted by a narrow margin
to accede to House refusal to give
any funds to the fair employment
practices committee.
