the announce ment OF the shit to
San Francisco said that one rea-
son for delay was to permit Molo-
TOW to consult his government.
The Polish impasse was specific
ally mentioned in that connection.
The move to San Francisco was
announced from the White House
just after a second meeting be-
tween Molotov and President Tru-
man. i
The timing of the announcement,
and the mention Of consultation
with Moscow was taken as an in
dication that negotiations had
reached the State, where approval
was needed at the chief of state
level. <.
Molotov called ut the White
House at 5:33 pm. and stayed %
minutes. He had nothing to say
afterward. Neither had Secretary
Stettinius, who accompanied him as
he left.
It was Stettinius' third visit of
the day to the executive offices, n
circumstance which lent addition
al credence to speculation that inn
portant decisions might be in the
making.
Molotov was accompanied by
Andrea Gromyko, the Russian am
bassador, and V. N. Pavlov, his
assistant and interpreter.

ferring with Stettinius and Eden

The New Hanover Boal OF
County Commissioners yesterday
passed a motion denying the re-
quest of the Board of Education
that the Junior College bill be
put to an election.
General reasons for the Board S
denial of the request seemed to
be the way in which it was sub
mitted, as no member of the Board
of Education appeared to support
it.
Commissioner C. w. Trask said
that he felt the bill, which calls
for the levying of a tax not to ex-
coed five cents per 500 for OPP
Grafton of the school, would, if
it were passed, tax everyone for
the benefit of few. He added that
such a bill is usually passed by
the minority.

Junior College Vote

Proposal. for the establishment

by Claude T. Gore, Of AS South
Fifth street, who suggested that
the school and war housing proper
ty at Lake Forest be converted
after the war into such school.
Reasons contained in the bill for
blishment of the school are:
Whereas, the exigency of war
has cut short the education of
many youths in North Carolina;
and,
Whereas, it is impra ctical for
many persons to attend college or
other schools of higher learning
that are now established; and .si

MORE THAN JOBS NEEDED

From Idaho comes one of the best
plans yet for creating jobs. Gordon Squires,
publisher of the Cascade News, says: 1T is
easy to make 60 million jobs, or 70 or 80 or
100 million. Simply forbid the use of iron,
then everyone would have to grub from
dawn to dark just to keep alive Or for
bid the use of the whichever wooden
wheels Then we would drag everything
along over the surface of the earth =.
There would be plenty of jobs from
the womb to the tomb if we forbid the use
of sewing or washing machines; or moving
machine, going back to the scythe or loco
motives, going back to the OK cart; or light
bulbs, going back to the tallow dip; or
power looms, going back to the spinning
wheel"
Editor Squires points out that the pre-
sent plans to create jobs contemplate more
debt, more taxes, more printed money, and
a super-duper WPA.
He recommends that the way to reach
the desired goal is by increasing the out
put per hour and hence the earnings of
everyone who wants to work in a free
country where he can choose his job -
which he can't do in Russia, and soon will
not be able to do in America" if the spend
yourself-into-p philosophy is con-
tinued He asks: "Is it jobs we really want?
.. All this talk about 60,000,000 jobs COM
pletely distorts the picture. Who wants full
employment for every man. and woman
anyway? There ARD 35,oea,OO9 families in
America. Wouldn't we feel that our system
had done grand job if 35,0000 600 heads of
families-with only 35,000,000 jobs-could
provide happy living for all these famil-
les?
"The way forward is the same way
we have come. It's general direction was
right. 1t is not to make giant taskmaster
of the state, it is to increase the earnings
of the worker with better tools, new in
ventions, encouragement to savings and in
vestment, lower COSTS lower prices, lower
taxes, freedom from monopoly and privil-
eye and drudgery-freedom itself. More
freedom, not less

clothing or suggestive jokes, in Key West,
so that residents will not have reason for
any further complaint about the type of en-
tertainment given here.
key West has been buffeted by our
own people and visitors for allowing enter
tainments here that went beyond the pale
of decency. Those people were right and
just in complaining, but assure them they

an important role in our lives, but hereafter
it must be clean in Key West. Those who
have complained will, trust, bear in mind
that have been mayor only a few days,
and that have had TO adjust myself to the
requirements of the office. One of the re-
quirements am determined to put into eff
feet is tomake Key West place in which
