incense in the urn, making it most

hung around till the end.
Immediately behind the table was
small platform on which stood
two bamboo framed horses that
were decorated with brightly colored

a miniature Chinese temple on top.
He prayed, chanted and beat upon
a table with a golden sword to the
accompaniment of a three piece
ceremonial band, which consisted of
snare drum, cymbals, and crude
arrangement of chimes. After much
of this, the condolents took part in
the ceremony. After much bowling
by all concerned, it came to it's eli

out into the street. mounted the two

Macarthur And MOuntbatten

Now that Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten,
commander in southeast Asia has returned
to his headquarters after a prolonged con-
ference with General Macarthur, obviously
having to do with prosecution of the war on
Asaiatic mainland, as their commands are con-
tiguous, it is to be supposed that the cam
paign against the Japanese on the continent
has been drafted, and to be hoped that the
same cooperation which has characterized the
overlapping m m a d S among American
forces will be no less amazingly successful
between the two commands
It may be that final decisions will come
from Potsdam. Or it may be left to the COM
manders, who are certainly in the best posi-
ton to judge the needs and develop the strate-
gy for victory. But in either case it is. ap-
parent that the closest liaison between Mac
Arthur and Mountbatten will be necessary.
The Mountbatten visit, therefore, is of great
Importance.

At 1t Again

Having taken time out for long breath
while its planes were refueled and tuned up,
Admiral Halsey's Third Fleet yesterday sent
thousand planes over the largest concen-
tration of Japanese warships discovered in
weeks at the Kure naval base while two thou
sand other planes were pounding Nagoya,
Osaka and five enemy war plants on the
home islands.
The toll of the Kure attack had not been
taken when this was written, but the dis
patch telling Of the raid noted that the naval
concentration was probably the largest part
of Japan's remaining Navy. We may be sure
that the attacking planes left their mark on
all the ships.
What is perhaps the most significant item
in the dispatch is that the japanese air force
which has refused the Third Fleets challenge
throughout it's assault on the home islands
finally sent planes aloft. If they will but do
this as often as Halsey attacks, Japan will
have no air force with which to combat in
vasion, when and if invasion is started.

Editorial Comment
FALSE GODS

A recent and supposedly shocking report
from Washington stating that ten million
healthy young men of our armed forces pos
sess less than a high school education cannot
justly be interpreted as a slur on the exist
ing schools of this country. There are DOUBT
less that number of young men subject 10

report should be interpreted rather as
shocking result of the theory OF edu ca
upon which our public schools are oullt.
1t is an unhappy commentary on our SOU
cational system that, failing in efforts to III
them to a rigid average pattern, the phlloso-
ply of education upon which our schools are
built should lead educators to abandon H.
OO0 900 boys, and fail to train them Tor sue
cessful lives in fields for which they are by
natural ability fitted. 1t is a commentary still
more unhappy that, in attempting to fit the
mentally inferior into universal equality, the
standards at our schools should necessarily
have been lowered, and the superior In intel
lect should have been denied opportunity to
progress at a rate commensurate with their
ability.
If the ideals of this country are to be rea-
lized education in any field of knowledge and
at any level must be made available to any
youth. It does not follow that all youths should
be required to absorb an Identical amount OF
information by a given age, or that educa
tional institutions should follow one formula
To do so, is to defeat the purpose for wnlc ~

Plenty Of Capital

Wilmington cash bank deposits rose to $42,-
633, 900 in the first half of this year, an in
crease of ST, 0O2 600 over the same span in 1914.
Postal savings deposits for the first S x
months of 1945 were S279, 1922, gain of S37. 039
over the same months in 1914
Neither of these totals reflects the money
in War Bonds or savings bank deposits. Lack
ing these figures no estimate of Wilmington S
cash wealth can be made. But the available
figures show Wilmington in favored position
for business expansion in the postwar era.
The money is here for the creation of a
dozen or more industries. There is no need
to 90 beyond the city's normal banking area
for capital. With the Simon industrial report
completed and undergoing local reprocessing
the time is ripe for this capital to be seeking
outlets for the advancement Of the community
and the reasonable profit of local investors as
quickly as its recommendations are available
and restrictions on materials are lifted.
It will be no difficult matter for Wilmington
to pull itself out of any postwar let-down by
it's own bootstraps, The one great need is for
united determination to escape a let-doWn.

Big Three In Recess

With Prime Minister Churchill and British
Foreign Minister Anthony Eden en- route to or
in London, accompanied by Clement R. Att
lee, head of the opposition, the Big Three
conference at Potsdam is in temporary ad-
journment. How the Russian premier, Joseph
Stain and the United States President, Harry
Truman, will spend the time during the recess
is not revealed, but it would be an excellent
time to improve the friendship they are re-
ported to have formed by going fishing.
Churchill and his party have gone home
to receive the election returns. If the Con-
sentative party returns a majority to Com
mons, Churchill will 60 back to Potsdam with
Eden and Attlee VIII stay home. If the Con-
servatives lose out, however, Attlee will re-
turn as Britain's member Of the Big Three,
together with his foreign minister, and Church
i'll and Eden will keep the home fires burn
ing.
1t is a strange situation indeed, tbs posi-
bility that the trio upon which the important
decisions concerning the peace of Europe and
the prosecution of the war in the Pacific may
undergo a personnel change in mid-session.
be victorious, but the actual results of the
election in Britain hinge on the soldier vote,
and it will be remembered that in similar
circumstances Mackenzie King went down to
defeat in Canada. If Churchill enjoyed the
favor of great majority of British men at
arms on foreign service he will continue as
Britain's pr me minister. But if a large ma
jority of the British soldiers didn't like his
administration when they were filling o u
their ballots in the recent election, he'll share
Mackenzie Kings fate and the Big Three con-
ference will conclude it's deliberations with
Attlee at the table.
1t probably will make very little difference
who sits in for Britain at Potsdam, because
Attlee made practically the same promises
regarding the peace and the Pacific war as
Churchill, and besides the strong voices in the
Big Three are those of Stain and Truman.
Russia and the United States will emerge
from this conflict the strongest world powers.
Necessarily, the views of their leaders will
prevail in largest measure.

OPA Loses Suit

It was chicken or two that wiped NRA
off the slate 1t may be woman's dress that
will do the same for OPA How come?
A federal judge in PHILADELPHIA has ruled
that firm of dress manufacturers was en-
titled to figure in wage increases in fixing
the selling prices of its garments.
The OPA had brought suit against the firm
for an Injunction and triple damages in the
amount of $1OO,714 for alleged price ceiling
violation. The Judge dismissed the suit.
OPA argued the firm was not entitled to
include in its labor costs the eight and one-hal1
increase awarded to the industry by an ar
bitrator in 1943. The firms attorney claimed
the OPA would force price cute and oblige
manufacturers to operate at loss. h {

New Bern Air Mail
Stamp Sale Increases

NEW BERN, July 24.-Air mail
increased 33' per cent during the
last fiscal year over the reports
of the previous year, to reach a
total of 1873, 1900 airnail stamps
sold for S136,959, according to
Postmaster R. R. Eagle. Adding
another 20 per cens for the estl-
mated amount of mail sent by air
with regular postage stamps, Mr..
Eagle said the years total would
be brought up to 2.248, $50 stamps
cos ing $164, 5000.
The phenomenal jump in air
mail, he explained, is all the more
remarkable when it is realized that
all air mail at present here has
to be dispatched through Raleigh,
Greensboro Or Richmond. Efforts
are now being made to have New
Bern designated as stop on regu-
lar commercial air routes. Pub
lie council reported at a recent
hearing before the civil aeronau-
tics board that this city is one of
the places in the country in great
est need of air service.
