THE CHG q" rs SAVED

10 OhVGD
Navy orders which sent her to Guam with
load of planes saved the Enterprise from
the fate of the hudd1ed men-of-war in Pearl
Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Something saved her,
too, from being sunk by seven separate major
hits by the enemy, including bombladen
Kamikaze plane off Okinawa last May. And
so, full of honors, adored by the men who
have fought her and by the gallant airmen
who have taken off from her deck, the big
E'' is to take her place with the Constitution
and the other heroic ships as "a visible
symbol of American valor."
Secretary Forrestars proposal, approved by
the President is fitting. The carrier may be
said to symbolic World War Two, which was
so largely a war of air power, and in the
Pacific naval air power. It is type Of fight
ing craft never seen in action under Ameri-
can colors before Admiral Halsey's raids on
the Marshalls, Wake, and other islands early
in 1892 The Enterprise took part in these
forays and was in there fighting until the last
planes were launched against the Japanese
main islands It is appropriate that she be
preserved to remind the Nation of the cause
for which SO many in blue or green or khaki
gave "the last full measure of devotion. -

A Wise Proposal

With conditions in the Far East becoming
more tense daily and in the face of Chinese
communist charges of American intervention
in the undeclared civil war, General MacAr-
thurs proposal that the professional heads of
the armed services be permitted to sit in at
all Cabinet meetings. is advisable, the more
so because proverbially the Secretaries of War
point Of the officers.
The Generals proposal has just been pub
icized by the Senate Military Committee al.
though it was part of transcript taken by
the Joint Chiefs of Staff special committee
at Leyte last December. General Macarthur
then said:
Il believe that the professional heads OF
the services should be exofficio members Of
the cabinet. They should be present at all
cabinet meetings without power of voting, but
permitted to express their opinion and above
all else, to hear the cabinet as thew discuss
not only external affairs of the United States
but internal problems"
There is complaint that the plan might
change the old order which was to have ci
william control of the military establishment
We fail to see anything in the Generals pro
posal which would alter this The only change
would be to give not only the heads Of tn.
military departments but the rest of the Cabi
net, as well as the President, the benefit O
the experience and knowledge of the com
manding officers.

New Census Needed

What is Wilmington's population? The
question is strictly academic. Nobody knows.
With the annexation of the suburbs achieved
on Tuesday at the polls there has been
substantial gain appropriated at eleven
thousand. The greater city is said to have
some fifty thousand persons within its ex.
banded borders.
The truth probably is that the total exceeds
this figure. But still we are dependent upon
approxima tions.
The only way to determine the exact num-
Der is have a special census TAKEN And the
way to get this is to address a petition to
the federal Census Bureau. And the way to
obtain favorable action there is to enlist the
active cooperation Of Representative Bayard
Clark and Senators Bailey and Hoey.
A mid-decade Census, in present circunn-
Stances is so important that civic and other
organizations ought to unite in the effort to
have it taken.
Wilmington suffered sorely during the war
because federal bureaus and departments as
well as private distributors made their al1o.
cations on the population figures shown in the
1910 Census No argument, no evidence, was
convincing enough to gain official recognition
of the large influx of new population although
the metropolitan area probably contained
triple the number of residents shown by that
Census.
While the fighting is over, we are still in
a state of war and most materials needed
domestically and in business and construction
are still subject to restrictions, based on Of
fetal population records. # We are to over
come the handicap we endured on this score
for the four years Of combat, we must obtain
new count Of noses by the Census Bureau.
No time should be lost in instituting effort
to have this count made.

East-West Relations

Addresses in the House Of Commons by
former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, con-
sentative leader of Britain, and Foreign Sec
rotary Ernest Bevin of the current Labor Min
istry, were well calculated to cement relations
between the United States and the British En-
pire and equally capable Of increasing Rus
sian suspicious.
Mr.. Bevin was particularly outspoken. Con-
corning Russia's proposal for Mediterranean
base he said ''You can't help being little
suspicious if a great power wants to go right
across the throat of the British Commonwealth,
which has done no harm to anybody but fight
this war;
Mr.. Churchill, with much of his old time
suavity, devoted his address to the atomic
bomb and its possession by this country, praise
for the twelve-point foreign policy laid down
by President Truman in his Navy Day speech
and Russia's present attitude. He demanded
that Britain aid the United States in keeping
the secret of the bomb and urged the govern
ment to get supply of these bombs for
storage in case of an emergency.
But it was Mr.. Bevin who put his finger
on the sorest spot of all in Eastern and West:
ern relations when he declared, as everybody
knows, that the United States and Britain have
accepted almost every territorial demand of
the Russians, and, we add on our own behalf,
are no more satisfied with what they have
received than if they had been granted moth
ing.
It has been said in these columns that Mos
cow appears to have forgotten that the Russian
success in the war with the Germans was
due to the help extended chiefly by the United
States, but it loses no significance by repeti-
ton. But for this help and additional aid from
the British, Russia inevitably would have gone
down in defeat. Bravely as her armies fought
they could not have won out alone because
they lacked all manner of equipment in COM
parison with the Germans.
With every desire to enjoy Russia's friend
ship and cooperation in the years ahead, it is
only fair to the Western Allies to note that
Russia has taken very ungracious attitude
The United States, as President Truman has
been at much pains to explain, holds the secret
of the atomic bomb as trust It has no
other purpose in refusing to give it to other
nations, for the present at least, while so much
OF the world is still in quarrelsome mood
Russia has no reason to start an armament
program or talk Of spheres of influence, or
launch an atomic bomb competition.
If Russia were threatened from without. and
an emergency affecting its security should
arise. there is no reason to doubt that atomic
bombs would be placed at her disposal and
the same sort of material aid she received
during the recent war would again be made
available for the overthrow of her enemy.
In view of the whole situation, Mr. Molotov,
Russia's foreign commissar and chief trouble
maker, ought to be silenced, unless, in truth,
ne speaks on the authority of Premier Stain,
which seems improbable

The explorer who once dug up
dinosaur eggs in tie Cobb desert
here resurrects the boxes of our
low-browed forbears and puts as
much flesh and blood on them as
his scientific conscience will allow.
While prehistoric men are more
interesting essentially than pre-his-
toric eggs, the account lacks some
of the fresh enthusiasm of An
drews' firsthand popular reports on
the expeditions that made him IA
NOUS.
Even so it makes fascinating
reading. And it clears the atmos-
phere considerably for one who has
been puzzled by the various claims
for and respective merits of such
apparitions as the Southern Ape,
Rhodesian man, Heidelberg man,
Solo man and all the rest.
They are fitted into a rough fam
ily tree which is worked out in a
diagrammatic drawing in the end
papers of the book. The Southern
Ape at least can be counted as a
missing link, but then the tree is
full Of gaps where links are still
missing. In call to adventure,
Andrews tells youthful scientists to
track down these elusive links in
Asia and in Africa and help solve
the many remaining riddles Of
mankind's origins.
As for incidental information, did
you know that Neanderthal man
lived in Europe for half a million
years, which is ten to twenty times
as long as modern man is likely
to do at the present rate; that we
probably have more than trace
Of Neanderthal blood in our veins;
that these ancient men normally
were cannibals;; and that the Java
giant may well have been stronger
than a modern gorilla? That's how
one improves his mind in reading
a book like Andrews.

COLLEGE GIRL SMOKERS
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Several months ago I wrote a
little article about meb-scene l
had witnessed of college girls in a
rush for cigarettes. Letters from
readers are more condemnatory OF
smoking girls than I feel able to
be. My thought is well stated by
a representative of Blue Mountain
College, Mississippi, who, when
asked if he thought smoking by
women is immoral, replied: "Not
immoral, but an error in judgment,
especially among growing girls.
He made the query a peg on
which to hang boost for his fine,
old-fashioned college, by pointing
out that they have more applicants
than they can enroll. He quoted an
academic survey upon college wom-
ems marriage and divorce, which
finds that 81 per cent of the coed
graduates get married, and 55.4 per
cent of those trained in women S
colleges. OF Blue Mountain gradu-
ates, 70 per cent have married. AS
to divorce, the rate in the United
States is quoted at 16 per cent,
whereas among Blue Mountain gra-
yates it is less than 2 per cent.
OF course, abstention from Gig
arettes is not the cause of this
notable record. It is only a symbol
OF the colleges way Of. life.
It is mistake to make any
extra-Scriptural practice a test Of
religion. But it is the evidence OF
history that living faith in God
gives man or woman a high
standard of unselfish, disciplined
character.
