HISTORY

7 take you by the hand,
yo leave the house and so
Across the %grecning land;
And how should history know,
Being blind with crucial deed,
The absent, casual air
With which you pluckcd a weed
And lost ii from your hair?
Or make another book
To tell of the slow way
We paused and turned to look
At-What? SO we passed a day
Whose history in this place
Was simple human grace.

About Over
pose

The United Press has bulletin quoting ru-
mors originating in Stockholm and Zurich to
the effect that the German High Command has
told Adolf Hitler that the war is lost and Stock
holm adds that the Army has offered to ne
gotiate peace eff the Nazis would S t e p
aside.
Some support for the rumors lodges in the
fact that the Army is the only organization In
Germany with which the Allies could deal.
Reference to ''negotiation'' is merely soft
ened way of saying surrender. The High Com
mand knows full well that the United Nations
credo contains provision for unconditional sur
render only, and nothing less.
If it is true that the Army is ready to take
this step, it may be possible to celebrate We
day yet Otherwise not, for the war in that
case would continue until the last German
military unit and commander had quit and
it would be hard even for General Eisenhower.
to know when that had taken place.
Further support for the rumors is offered
by ,ae United Press bulletin which adds that
as the Third American Army advances civilians
along the route are rounding up soldiers and
surrendering them" With the civilian popula-
ton taking over, if it is, the Army cannot long
continue the fight despite orders allegedly
eminating from the top, for all soldiers or Of
ficers to shoot without question any other Of
ficer of soldier discussing surrender.
With the Army disintegrating AMI the Ger
man people at last rousing to the knowledge
that the Army is through, it would seem the
show is about over. Not even Hitler in his
balmiest days could lead both the Army and
the people against their will.

Midblock Pedestrianways

Prohibition demonstrated that law cannot
be effective without public support 1t is long
stride from prohibition to jay-Walklng, out the
+vo are strikingly alike in the lack of public
support
Wilmington has a statute defining lay-Walk-
ing and setting the punishment Tor convicted
offenders, but jay-walking continues and inc
no1ice department is so Undermined that en-
forcement, save in rare cases, is 'mposslole'
The public by and large doesn't give hang
for the law And this is too bad because II a
pedestrian is run down by a motor vehicle ano
injured. he, or she as the case may be, mas
no standing in court and cannot hope to recov'
err damages, but must pay doctors ana nos
pital bills out of his or her own resources.
The situation might be improved If the pohce
adopted the principle used by Mohammed when
the mountain wouldn't come to him. he went
to it. If the public will not obey the jay-Walk-
ing ordinance, the police could establish mid
block pedestrianways and so reduce the hazard
of accident materially.
Without attempting to enunerate all places
where this would help we name Front street,
between Market and Princess and Princess
and Chestnut, and Third street between Prln'
cess and Chestnut and Chestnut and Grace.
Shoppers and business people have frequent
occasion to get to the other side OF the street
at these places and simply will not walk to
the corner and cross on green light. Instead
they bolt into the street fortunately when
traffic is slack, and get over with the con-
nivance of friendly providence or watchful-
ness of approaching motorists.
The fact that there is momentary lul1 In
traffic midway between these intersections pro-
vides the reason for pedestrianways there.
They are used in number of cities with
similar conditions, and serve splendid pur-
pose.

Tax Action Delayed

Word that revision of the capital gains tax
is not liable to be effected in Congress for
some time is good news to large segment
of the population. The Wall Street reporter of
the New York Times has condensed the situa-
ton in his regular column in the financial Sec
ton of that newspaper, thus:
Revision of the capital gains tax law, talk
of which has given the stock market many a
nervous moment in the last few weeks, ap-
pears to be showed into siding by more
pressing affairs in Washington. Chairman
Doughton of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee has indicated that his group will be
unable to tackle the subject until midsummer
at the earliest Legislators have adopted an
Indifferent attitude toward the proposal of Fed
eral Reserve Board Chairman Mariner S.
Eccles for a 80 per cent tax on profits from
sales of capital assets. Some Administration
officials believe the initiation problem they see
in rising real estate and securities prices could
be met by extending the holding period in
the present capital gains law.

Can't Be Done

The old saw that birds of feather flock
together appears to apply to current rumors
that when the German military finally col
lapses the leaders thereof, together with such
troops as are still uncaptured and equipment
that can be salvaged will unite with the
Japanese to drag out the war in the Pacific.
Only in this case rats should be substituted
for birds.
This may indeed be the scheme and even
the hope of Nazi and Prussian Army chiefs
But it is to be doubted that it can be brought
about. To get to Japan some sort of German
armada would have a long, long sea journey
to make, and such a voyage would be a
perilous adventure with the odds heavily
against successful termination.
And even before this they would have to get
to port of embarkation. While it is possible
that few might succeed there certainly is
no probability that any sizeable force or large
quantity of material could be secretly SNUG.
gled aboard ship.
We find it difficult to believe that however
greatly some of the German malefactors may
wish to join their fellow rats in the Orient
tney could dodge capture and annihilation.
1t is more reasonable to believe, as the
State Department points out, that Nazi chiefs

BEGINNING BIG JOB

Another North Carolnian, Comptroller Gen
eral Lindsay Warren, appointed to that office
while representing the First North Carolina
Congressional district, is beginning the biggest
job of his life-an audit of the government S
gigantic lending agency, the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. Congress orderedt he au-
dit when it discovered during the Jesse Jones'
enry Wallace battle that the RIGS books
never had been checked Assets of the RFC
and its allied financial agencies come to more
than $4,000 100000. And that figure includes
nearly everything from a set of chairs in a
St. Louis barber shop to the new street cars
that glide around Washington.
AS if that isn't enough, Warrens depart
ment-the General Accountinf Office-has to
make an audit and property check of the Com
modify Credit Corporation, another colossus
The CCC has pyramids of assorted properties
stored in 1900 warehouses all over the coun-
try and Warren, who has manpower troubles
like everyone else figures it will take l 500 peo-
pie to do the job.
Washington summers are always hot, but for
Lindsay Warren this one promises to be the
worst ever.

WASINGTON March 31.-North Cardinals
Jonathan Daniels has won the friendship and
full approval of reporters covering the White
House since he succeeded Stephen T. Early as
press secretary two months ago. and presuma-
bly for that reason he will keep the job from
now
Daniels the son OF Josephus Daniels, Presi-
dent Wilson'S Navy Secretary, and promi-
nent newspaper editor and novelist in his own
right, has proved himself thoroughly able to
cope with the questions fired at him at each
mornings White House press conference. In
contrast with Early, who occasionally a S

humor, always answers question II ne can
and frankly says so If he can't.
Generally, his announcements deal VIII
news of a secondary nature, such as t n e
Presidents appointments to government posi-
tons, executive proclamations, and such. Ma
ior announcements and discussions of impor-
tant national and international issues are left
to Mr. Roosevelt at his own conferences on
Tuesdays and Fridays.
Earlier this week however. Daniels found
out-if he didn't know before-that the office

HOUSING PROGRAM
PLANNED IN STATE

GREENSBORO, March 31.-R-
Earl S. Draper, Washington, depu-
ty commissioner of the Federal
Housing Administration, visiting
in Greensboro today, described
as a housing program designed
to relieve congestion and to help
meeting community needs" the
H-2 program of the FILA proposed
for Greensboro and other North
Carolina towns and now pending
approval of the State War Urgen-
cy committee.
at is in no sense program
specifically designed to accom-
codate immigrant war Warkers, -
Draper declared. The programs
have been proposed, with num-
Der already under construction,
in every state of the union except
California where war housing pro
gram is still paramount because
of the continued stream of immi-
grant war workers.
These programs, he continued,
have been approved, or have been
proposed with approval expected
within reasonable short time,
by production urgency commit
tees without the conditioning or
predicating approval dependent
upon war worker occupancy re-
strictions.
National Housing administration
has programmed approximately
LOO housing units for North
Carolina after consultation with
the FILA, Draper stated, and the
program is now before the state
war urgency committee which
must give approval before the
program can be put into effect.
In Greensboro today for con-
ferences with Jack H. Brown,
Head of the state office of FILA,
and his staff, in regard to Federal
housing programs, Deputy Com
missioner Draper reported that
two big H-2 programs, one for
5000 housing units in Detroit,
Mich, and one for 1880 units in
District of Columbia, have been
allocated recently.
