"TOwn Hall" At Paris

II, as Secretary of States James F.
Byrnes declared at the Paris conference
yesterday, the Potsdam parley agreed
IN principle to the United States pro-
posal that no Axis satellite nation
should make trade agreements granting
special advantages to any Allied nation,
the whole structure of Russian policy
In eastern Europe is a violation of that
agreement and Nh. Byrnes is eminentlv
right in opposing Russian Foreign Com
mlssar Molotov's forensic blasts. which.
apparently, are but a cloak for Mos
COWS determination to gather unto it.
self all the spoils of Germany's defeat
it can lay hands on.
Ethlcally, Mr.. Byrnes is correct,
whether the American proposal was ap-
proved at Potsdam either in principle
or in fact, but so little is known of
the inside workings at that conference
OF the Big Three or any that preceded
IL that even MI. Byrnes may not know
the full extent of concessions secretly
made to Joseph Stain.
1t was former President Rooseve]t's
custom to offer subrosa bargains to
Moscow, despite his alleged belief in
open covenants openly arrived at. Close
TO him as was Secretary Byrnes it is
possible that he did not have Mr.. Roose-
velts full confidence. Nor, as the case
might be, Mr.. Truman's either.
All that is definitely known is that
President Roosevelt, believing he could
outsmart Stain, went beyond his depth
IN power politics and the nations rep
resentatives in all United Nations
branches are in consequence continual

not properly trained to meet.
Another consequence is that this

Skirt The City

Residents on South Third street well
understand the attitude of residents on
Seventh and Eighth on the proposal to
convert their streets into truck lanes.
As the Afternoon News editorially re-
marked some weeks ago, to do so would
merely shift the nuisance from one
populated street to another, which could
not solve the problem. 1t would mean
merely that other residents would be
substituted as chief sufferers.
The need is for a truck lane skirting
the populous areas of the city. It is not
improbable that this could be done at
no higher cost to the state than would
attach to work on Seventh or Eighth
street, or both. And by so routing truck
traffic all dwellers within the city could
enjoy normal rest at night, whereas if
a city street is used, the nervous and
sick residents living on it would be sub
jected to the same disturbance Third
street dwellers are now compelled to
endure as best they can.
The fact that truck operators would
be put to some inconvenience and their
vehicles have to travel slightly %increas-
ed mileage, if required to travel around
instead Of through the city, cannot off
set the inconvenience of citizens on
Third street, or as proposed, on Seventh
and/or Eighth. furthermore, the
peoples comfort is as great a charge
upon the city government as that of
truck operators. Let the government
see that the people are served first.

Another Dream Project

While we are hot on the trail OF in
dustries for the Wilmington area and
earnestly e%ndeavoring to build a great
city here on the Cape Fear, there IS
an extensive acreage which with the
necessary expenditure of capital could
be developed as unexcelled factory sites
and better-than-average farm land.
The suburban stretch is especially
we'll located for heavy industry, conven-
lent both for rail and water transport.
It lies along Smith Creek north of the
Castle Hayne highway. With adequate
dredging and the silt and sand thrown
up over the lowland, the area would not
only provide the best of locations for
manufactures but, with lateral canals
would redeem much mileage for agri-
culture.
With such a project extended and
drainage bitches emptying into the
creek and the Northeast Cape Fear
river, the swampy district all the way
northward to the backlands of Camp
Davis could be as productive as any
farm section in the state. This is not
mere speculation; it is the studied opin-
ion of a Wilmingtonian who knows the
area about as we'll as he knows his
own back yard.
The undertaking, naturally, would re-
quire a considerable investment of
capital, and local capital too often is
timid. But it is to be said that no major
development in any region has resulted
from an act of nature. Money must be
put out if it is to earn dividends.
In this case money so employed
would have as good a chance of earning
interest for the investors as any pro-
ject in the realm of possibility. And it
would also further the aim of our city
builders, which, primarily, is to advance
Wilmington's economic security.
Capitalists in other communities
have not hesitated to invest in projects
which at the start seemed even more
of a dream than this. Their communities
have prospered and they have reaped
financial harvests as a result of their
vision.
A broader vision of W~i1minoton'
opportunities and courage to put up the
money for their realization are among
our outstanding needs in this postwar
period.

It's a few days late to be bring

Of US have done a lot of forgetting
in the past year.
On Aug. IA, 1945 - that was the
day a lot of us have forgotten when
the Japs were forced to give
themselves up before the irresis-
tible and bloody efforts of a lot
of American boys - l happened
to be in a medium-sized Arkansas
town. The local police chief, sit
ting around his headquarters,
asked me to keep my ear pasted
to the radio and let him know
when the final word came about
the Japs. He wanted to turn on
the town siren. The engineers in
the Missouri-Pacific yards there
wanted to know, too, so they could
tie down their whistle cords. And
most of the folks in town wanted
to know, too, so they could begin
footing their automobile horns.
They made quite a lot of racket
in that little Arkansas town. 1t was
a racket of gladsomeness and also
of thanksgiving. 1t was the
American way, like popping fire
crackers on the Fourth of July
and Christmas, of showing how
happy we all were that the bloody
war was over. Americans, you
know, when they want to show
their thanksgiving always get
pretty exuberant and make a lot
of noise.
Well, here in Wilmington just a
year later, SO help me, l didn't
hear a single whistle blow. Nor
a siren. Nor any unusual footing
of horns. And the best l can gather
from news dispatches I've read,
there was precious little happy

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

At every tournament discussions
cone up regarding the way
certain combinations Of cards
should be played. There is a
trump combination in today's hand
that we are often confronted with.
Should we lead to the ace and
back to the queen-ten?
Most experts agree that the
proper play is to lead the queen
toward the ace, hoping to find the
honors split and thus lose only one
trick However. when West dou-
bled the four heart contract on
today's hand, Milton Vernoff of
Miami Beach Fla, who was the
declarer, decided to play the dou-
bier for all Of the missing trumps.
West was foolish to double lust
because ne held four trumps. and
to make matters worse, his OPEN
irg lead was unfortunate. Vernoff
(South) Wo1 the dimond opening
with the Jack and led the nine of
hearts. When West played the
duce, declarer let it ride. playing
the three from dummy. Then he
cashed the king and ace of spades,
and led the three of spades. West
decided to let 60 a club, so Yer
noff trumred in dummy with the
seven of hearts, returned to his
hand with a dimond and led an
other spade Again West dis
carded a club, declarer trumped
with dumrny S eight of hearts and
came back to his hand with a
dimond. All Vernoff had to con-
cede was two hearts and the ace
of clubs.
SOUND doubles should be backed
by high tricks. Do not depend
on your trump holding to set a
contract. Some good players will
not double a ten trick contract
unless they are pretty sure OF TAX
ing five tricks, one more than
necessary 70 defeat the contract.

a lot of the boys who were there
remember how tough it was.
Well, here's what a couple of the
boys who helped push up the flag
on Suribachi said:
aside from Buffalo I don't
think any other city in this part
of the country remembers VI
Day.
This fellow was Former Marine
Rene A. Gagnon.
He went on to say he felt some
disappointment about not seeing
all those promises that were made
when the war was on.
And I'm not saying it just be-
cause it's just my case" he went
on, 1T isn't . It's the same for the
other fellows, too. But it is one of
those things. l think it was best
summed up by a fellow to whom
I was trying to sell some plaques
depicting the f~ag-raising.
How can I sell tn o S e
things?' he asked me. The wars
over That's the answer: the wars
over.
-Gagnon said he had returned to
his job in a cotton mill in Man
chester. N. H.
Il had no success in my at
tempt to obtain a police or fire
department job in my home town.
l can't find a place to live in my
home town. l have to live with
my wife's relatives in Hooksett,
about eight miles away"
Former Marine Ira A. Hayes
said he lived on the Bapchule
Indian Reservation so miles from
Phoenix, Ariz.
Il want to be on my own"
Hayes said. But out in Arizona
the white race looks down on the
Indian as if he were a little man.
And I don't stand a chance any
where off the reservation unless
I come East"
Most of our buddies are gone"
Hayes observed. Three of the
men who raised the flag are gone.
We hit the beach on Two with $50
men and left with q a month and
a half later. I still think of those
things all the time
Yeah. Hayes and Gagnon. I
suspect it's natural for you to
think of those things all the time.
But, Just as the fellow said, the
wars over and most of US have
pretty short memories. Most of
us, that is, except the 81 of you all
VINO r left out of those $50.
l never was much of a flag
raiser myself. But, still, I'd felt
a lot better about Two lima if I'd
Just heard one little whistle foot
DAY before yesterday and realized
the fellow pulled the cord because
ne remembered Two Jima and
what a tough time even those q
men had getting out of there and
back to see how quickly most of
US forget important things.

So Great And Sc Sudden

Price regulators who tripled the aver
age cost of butter not 80 long ago have
now decided that coffee drinkers may
enjoy their favorite beverage only by
paying from ten to thirteen cents a
pound more for it.
Consumers of both these commodi-
ties, being ordinary folk without the
deep insight of the regulators, cannot
understand why price advances should
be so great and so sudden.
To be sure, butter dropped from the
peak in a few days, but still costs more
than twice the customary, peacetime
cost per pound. If the reduction was
due, as many declare, to the fact that
buyers went without rather than meet
the extortionate price and stocks &C
cummulated far above the demand,
something of the same sort might hap
pen in the case Of coffee.
Even if it involves a sacrifice, coffee
drinkers could go without for a while
and perhaps force a reduction. But
there is a difference between butter
nd coffee. While the former is perish
able, as we learned to our sorrow when
tons upon tons Of it were wasted dur
ing the war, coffee may be stored with
out serious deterioration for long peri.
DDS of time and a surplus would not
parallel the loss long butter storage
causes.
