Consolidation Revived

It is heartening to note the current
AGITATION over consolidation of city and
county government. Perhaps it car be
brought about during the coming legis-
lative session.
If it is, and if it's operation is as sue
cessful as it appears to be in communi-
ties where it has long existed, New Han
over county may reasonably expect to
reap definite benefits. For one thing
it would do away with the burden Will
mington taxpayers now shoulder of pay
ing some 60 per cent of the county
levy in addition to their municipal tax
load.
San Francisco and Baltimore for
many years have functioned on a con-
solidated city and county basis, and
neither gives any evidence Of slipping
backward, with the rural areas parallel
ing municipal advancement. If this
form of government were a failure, we
may be sure San Francisco and Balti-
more would have abandoned it long ago.
If it should prove impossible to get
consolidation legislation approved at
Raleigh, then every effort should be
made to effect the severance of Will
mington city and New Hanover county
governments, with Wilmington relieved
of the county tax incubus, so that it
might apply it's entire revenues to need
ed public improvements.

Explanations, Please

One frequently hears it said that
Everybody has money nowadays" That,
of course, is bunk. A good half of our
population, with less than an average
annual family income of $4,000, is still
finding it hard to make ends meet. And
their tough time is beginning to show
up in reports of lower meat consump-
ton, for example. It isn't that there's
no meat to be had. A lot of the custom
ers just can't pay the prices.
So we think it would be nice to hear
from the livestock men and others who
assured the country that, with unsuc-
cessfull, unobserved and frequently un-
workable controls removed, prices would
quickly find a reasonable level once the
unnatural demand was satisfied.
that's what could and should have
happened. But instead prices of many
items keep going up even when, as in
some higher-priced cuts of meat, sup.
ply exceeds demand. In other items
like soap and shirts and crackers anc
such, the buying public is getting nick.

Davis Rings The Bell

Captain John Davis, retired chief of
Wilmington's traffic squad, discussing
traffic safety before the Kiawanis club,
told of the boast of a motorist that he
had driven a considerable distance into
the city at a death-defying speed. One
of his hearers remarked he would rather
arrive in Wilmington late than 20 to
hell on time.
Perhaps the reply was faceious. Ger
tainly it got a laugh. But this problem
Of speeding on the highways and city
streets is too serious to be made a
laughing matter. Too many graves in
too many cemeteries have been dug for
motorists whose delight was to see how
many miles they could cover in how
few hours or minutes.
It is a strange psychological anomoly
that whereas the instinct for self pre-
~servation, otherwise inherent in mortals,
is thrown to the winds when many
drivers put their foot on the accelera
tor.
Captain Davis made another poin
when he urged his hearers, whethe,
driving or afoot, to observe traffic sig
nails and especially when walking tt
cross streets only at intersections ane
on the green light. This word of eau.
ton is especially timely because of the
increasing downtown traffic, vehiculal
and pedestrian, at this time of yea
when Christmas shopping is at or near
ing the peak.

the Importance of drawing ad-
verse trumps before they a be
used to defeat a contract. 1t is a
good rule and should be followed
unless the declarer has something
more important to do, as he did
on today's hand.
Perhaps South was a little
strong in the bidding, but with his
fine hand he felt that he was JUS
titled in showing his spades after
any response by North. In any
event he decided to make one
more effort to reach a game con-
tract, and when North gave him
the chance, he took it.
The opening lead helped a little,
as it made the diamond king a
sure trick and indicated the posi-
bility of a second trick in the suit
by means of a finesse.
When East played the deuce Of
diamonds on the ace, West shifted
to a club. The ace in dummy won
the trick, then the ace and king
of hearts were won, and the third
round of hearts was ruffed in dunn
my, leaving declarer with the only
remaining hearts.
South had now won four tricks
and needed six more. He led a
diamond from dummy and finessed
the ten. and when it held, he laid
down the king. When this held,
his trick total had risen to six.
all without leading a single trump.
His next play was a heart, and
when in dummy, getting his sew
enth trick. A club return was
ruffed by d%eclarer, and when he
led his last heart, West could win
no more than the queen of trumps.
Thus South actually made II
tricks.
No doubt, had West chosen a
club for an opening lead, the
play Of the hand would have been
more difficult.

"Spoils Of War"

Inc news CHdC 90 VI tLo ANoAAo Ooo'
wartime scientists are now working Tor
our War Department must have struck
many Americans as a rather cold-blood-
ed arrangement. Some of the men who
financed, organized and operated the in
dustry which built the weapons devised
by these scientists have been tried and
sentenced by Allied military courts. But
the inventors themselves are living In
comfort and comparative freedom, n
working for something more than noml-
nal wages.
We have the War Departments as
surance that these men were "exhaus-
lively screened" before being permitted
to come to this country. That state
ment carries the inference that there
is not a Nazi sympathizer among these
8 top-notch researchers of the Nazl
war machine, which is a little hard to
believe. But we might as well face the
realistic fact that there was little to
do with these men except execute them,
jail them, or use them.
They are, in fact, part of the spoils
of war-about the only spoils this gov
eminent has received. AS such they are
extremely valuable, for two reasons.
In the first place, it is highly desir-
able to have them out of Germany. They
might all plead that their attitude was
one of scientific detachment, and that
their efforts to secure a victory for
Nazi fanatisism did not mean that they
too were fanatics. But certainly it
would have been unsafe to leave them
at large in Germany, ever an exhausted,
impoverished Germany, so long as
cells of nazism remain.
Secondly, their presence here is
worth infinitely more than any amount
of money or machines that we might
secure from Germany. The War De-
partment has estimated that their eff
forts will a v this country from two
to 10 years and at least $750,O0O,000
in rocket research alone.
That statement is further, though
not particularly startling, proof of how
far the United States Jagged behind
Germany in the field of military science,
except for the atomic bomb.
At any rate, we have with US today
the men who developed the w rocket
and the ME-163 jet fighter, as well as
specialists in such things as pulse jet
and ram jet engines, radar, and super
sonic aerodynamics. Until the United
Nations develops an acceptable and
workable disarmament program, they
will probably continue developing their
particular %specialties for the Army
which they SO recently opposed.
What will become Of them after dis
armament? Some will go to universe
ties and private industries here, the Wal
Department says. Others may return
to Germany.
But whatever their destination, let
hope that their undeniable gifts will
be used to advance the worlds we'll
being and thus atone partially to the
world for the continued suffering which
the fruits of their ingenuity, employ
e.
ed for devilishly inhuman purposes, have
caused.
