DETROIT MAY ELECT REV.
HILL TO City COUNCIL
BY Robert Crump

DETROIT Oct. 2 (ANP)-T
many political minded people here
the time seems to be now or never
when speaking of the possibilities
of electing the Rev. Charles T. Hill
to the common council at the next
election, come November. While it
has always been difficult task to
elect a Negro to that august body
because councilmen here are elected
at large instead of through the ward
system as is the case in many cities,
it is the concensus of political opin-
ion that Rev. Hill stands an excel
lent chance of being elected
The reasons given by these IN the
know is not alone that Mr.. Hill is
one of the most able men ever to
be nominated for public office here
with almost the entire Negro voting
public behind him, but that he las

Castle For Eisenhower

Word comes by wireless from London to the
New York Times that part Of one Of Scotland s
historic castles is being presented to General
Eisenhower 'as a token of the esteem and
gratitude "of the Scottish people. According to
the Times article, the gift is spacious top
floor in Culzeal castle in Ayrshire near the
Presfwick airport. Although the castle is open
to the public says the Times, las part OF
the National Trust for Scotland, General Eisen-
hower's apartment has private entrance and

Truman Optimistic

President Truman's announcement that he
sees no need for Big Three conference, as
he looks to the United Nations Organization
to solve problems which otherwise would come
up before the trio, indicates either that the
Chief Executive has implicit confidence in the
UNO or is seeking to stimulate public contl-
dence in Russias attitude on issues which
are in conflict with the views generally held
by the Western Allies.
He went so far at his recent press confer
ence to say that he had no fear Russian
policies would lead to war. 1t is only fair to
say that his confidence is not shared by many,
and to hope that he has information generally
unknown upon which to base his optimism.
The fear of war with the Soviet Union is
widely felt, and is reinforced by reports that
General Marshall, who is to leave shortly for
China, is said by General Wedemeyer, com
mander of American forces in that country
will make a survey Of the military situation
there and report directly to the President
General Marshall goes to the Orient as a
special envoy, with the authority but not the
rank of ambassador.
Observers who keep tabs on Russia incline
to the belief that if there is to be show
down between the Soviet Union and the West
err Allies, it will start in China. more spe
officially Manchuria, where the Chinese civil
war is rapidly gaining momentum and from
which the retiring Russian forces who at
tackled the japanese just before the Great
War ended have carried off all removal ma
chinery along their route, leaving factories al
bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

Let Census Be Taken

Ever since the war started Wilmington has
done lot of guessing about population. NO
bodv has known for sure how many persons
dwelt within the old city, how many In the
suburbs how many in New Hanover county.
And Wilmington suffered plenty when it sent
representatives to Washington to present Its
legitimate needs as result
The department or bureau heads referred
IN the population figures in the 1910 Census
and refused to accept any estimate OF ao-
ditions thereto, although it was well known
that the metropolitan area had about trlpleo
it's inhabitants. Allotments of foodstu11s, c1otn-
inc and all other necessities Of life developed
alarming shortages as a consequence, and
nothing could be done about it because no
other census was taken
Now that the immediate suburbs to the east
and south have been brought into the city
by an overwhelming popular vote, it is I'M
portant for the city's future rating that an
enumeration of population be made without
loss of time. The proposal was sent to WASH
ington but when letter from Representative
Clark showing that the cost would be $4'6o
was read before the Council on Friday, tnat
group decided to postpone action, because the
cost is greater than anticipated, and there the
matter rests, to the disappointment OF every
body except the Council.
This matter Of an enumeration OF lnhaol-
tants within the new city limits is as lmpor-
tant as any project for sending Wilmington
forward in the postwar period. 1t does not
properly admit of delay or penurious con-
temptation of cost. 1t is a primary need and
should be met without haggling or delay The
money involved is small enough when COM
pared With the value of the completed task.
The City Council has definite duty 10 order
this census taken. Let it do its duty at once.

Appeal Fored00med

When is an appeal not an appeal? There
may be many answers, but the one the Star
News is interested in is when it has three
strikes against It from the start.
This is the case when appeal is taken from
a decision by the Wilmington Planning Board.
An applicant not satisfied with the boards
ruling, appearing before the Appeals Board
finds three members of it also members Of the
Planning Board. Having had part in the ruling
on the original application they cannot very
well reverse themselves without being incon-
sistent. The appeal therefore, in the normal
process Of mortal action, is foredoomed to
failure.

Southport Shrimpers

The State Port Pilot published at Southport
notes in the current issue that federal aid has
been given shrimpers of Louisiana in financing
surveys to discover where Shrimp is to be
found offshore in waters suitable for trawling.
Without similar federal Of even state help,
the Pilot continues, Southport shrimpers have
gone ahead ION their own" The lack OF aid,
it explains in substance, is the more difficult
to understand because tax of Is cents per
hundred pounds is collected, besides licenses
for boats and nets.
Adds the Pilot:
This wear, with many big boats, the shrimp
ers are doing the exploration work themselves.
They are working further offshore, looking for
and finding new places in the deeper water.
So far, We have not heard of their getting
any thanks for the increased amount they are
paying in taxes.
According to all available information, this
years production of shrimp along the Bruins
wick coast runs to three times the amount
produced last year. This is largely due to the
performance of the big boats and their going
out in distant, unexplored waters. Brunswick
county interests have 10 or IL of the biggest
and best shrimp trawlers operating in Louisi-
ana. They were drawn to that state by the
State and Federal exploratory aid. We look
for them to come back to Brunswick and join
up with the boats here that are doing explora-
tory work themselves"
Surely here is an industry that well deserves

state governments. The Pilot is to be congratu-
lated for bringing the matter to public atten-
ion.
