in the environs Of Hanoi alone.
At least seven provinces of Ton
kin China, northernmost region OF
Indochina, are under water. Dykes
which protected the countryside
from the Red river are broken in
many places and mile after mile
of rich rice land is inundated.
The French say the leaders of the
unrecognized republic, to whom
the Chinese have turned over ad-
ministration, are utterly unable to
meet the situation, but that they
refuse to let the French repair the
dykes. In reply President Ho Chi
Mimi of the Wet Nam republic
blamed the French for not having
taught the people during the 80
years to care for the dykes them
selves.
The situation is complicated by
the necessity for feeding Chinese
occupation armies and surrendered
Japanese in the famine area. The
French planned to bring in 5000
tons Of rice monthly for the Chinese
troops and small rations for An
Mantle coal miners, but charged
that the Annanites refused to let
them bring in rice for the popu.
lation. Ho Chi Mini replied that
the Annamites believe distribu-
ton of the rice should be handled
by the United States or some
neutral.
On the political scene in the
capital the French charge that IS
Frenchmen were slain in Hanoi
since last August. A French spokes-
man claimed the French could
restore order in Indochina in a
short time if they were permitted
to bring in troops, particularly il
the Chinese agree to joint occupa-
ton for few weeks before their
withdrawal of occupation troops.
The chief French fear is that
the Chinese will withdraw before
French troops arrive, resulting in
danger for the unarmed French
from the violently anti-French An
Mantle revolutionaries.
The Chinese have not indicated
when they will withdraw. At pres
ent the Wet Nam government,
which ousted the Japanese puppet
regime last August, operates the
civil administration of the region.
The government frowns on assaults
on individual Frenchmen, but the
French claim little has been done
about it.

BYRNES CALLS FOR
ATOMIC COMMISSION
ASPEACE SAFEGUARD
Continued from Page One)

general debate said that two i'm
mediate tasks faced the Assembly
-arning the Security Council
with necessary power and estab-
fishing the atomic commission. He
put the council matter first, say;
ing:
1--WE have first to provide the
Security Council with the force it
needs to maintain peace. This
must be done by special arrange
ments which remain to be worked
out between the Security Council
and member states. We should
begin on this task immediately"
Byrnes, wearing double-breast-
ed blue suit and steel-rimmed
spectacles, was interrupted five
times by applause.
He put special emphasis in his
speech on the idea that the United
Nations do not threaten anybody,
that the big powers must serve,
not dominate the world, that in an
atomic age the United Nations
must survive and that fear alone
can defeat the aims of the UNO.
He warned also that nations must
not shove too many problems on
the UNO at the start, but give it
time and he appealed to members
to work together in the realization
that no charter could be perfect.
Byrnes paid tribute at the start
to the late Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Winston Churchill and Marshal
Josef Stain, who determined to
bind together in peace the free
nations of the world so that never
again would they find themselves
isolated in the face of tyranny and
aggression" He spoke Of the pre-
paratory work and said:
II believe the United Nations
will live it must live be-
cause in this atomic age common
interests which should unite free
nations in maintaining friendly,
peaceful world far outweigh any
possible conflict in interest which
might divide them"
He quoted President Roosevelt S
1--WE have nothing to fear but fear
ITSELF in saying that the UNO
could overcome all obstacles.

(signed) W. RONALD LANE,
Mayor of the City of Wilmington"
The annual collection for funds
to be used in treatment of polio
myelitis victims is conducted ma
tionally with county chapters of
the foundation being responsible
fer the local activities. Whining
ton Headquarters are in % Odd
fellows Building, at Third and
Princess streets.
The money collected is divided
equally between the local and ma
tional organizations and is allo-
Gated to the continuance of the
fight against the dreaded polio"
Past records show that New
Hanover county, and the state of
North Carolina in general, have
been among the low counties in
the number of cases reported each
year. The largest number of cases
here was in 1943 when nine cases
were treated by the local chapter.
William K. Rhodes, Jr., county
chairman, in his appeal yesterday
for full cooperation in the drive,
pointed out the extreme necessity
for the collection. 1t takes, said
Rhodes $4,000 for the treatment of
each patient for one year.
At the present time, five per-
sons are being cared for by the
local chapter, H. E. Rodgers,
chairman of the local chapter,
said yesterday. This entails, he
said, an expenditure of SIS each
week for each case.
Although the local chapter is en-
joying a "sizable balance" at the
present time, R. C. Tapp, treasur-
err, said yesterday morning, this
balance must be maintained for
the disease strikes without warn
ing and the danger of an epidemic
is always present.
The county and national chap
tiers draw no lines where race,
creed or color is concerned, Of
ficials have pointed out. 1.-THE
fund and our services must always
be ready" they have declared.
"as men, women and children who
fall victim to the disease are not
able to combat it's terrible on
slaughts without proper care and
resources.
The average family, J. B. Nc
Quere, secretary of the county
chapter, said is not able to fl
nance the proper care of a member
of their family who is sufferer of
polio" For that reason we ask
that all citizens of the county take
an active part in the drive" he
stressed.
The total quota for the state is
1854, $50 with quotas for surround
ing counties being Columbus,
$3.50; Duplin, $2,14O; Onslow,
Salts; Fender, $3.50; and Samp-
son, $3.50.

He further stated that retention
of the field by the Army had been
the primary aim of the county
since withdrawal of Army person
mel from the airport first appeared
imminent.
Hewlett said the county board
welcomed any suggestions from the
realtors as to possible steps the
county might take to bring the
Army back.
Declared Surplus
Bluethenthal has been declared
surplus by the War department
and, according to telegram re-
ceived by the commissioners last
week, the county has been granted
immediate right Of entry into the
field, subject to the receipt of a
permanent license.
Hewlett said it was his opinion
that, in the license, the government
would require that the airport be
operated for public use and that the
War department would reserve the
right to use the field at any time.
It was suggested by members of
the realtors delegation that in re-
doubling its efforts to return the
Army here, J. M. Broughton, form
err governor, who repeatedly was
employed by private citizens to
exert his influence to have Blue

LADY'S STOMACH WAS
LIKE A GAS FACTORY:
MEALS TURNED TO GAS

One lady said recently that her
stomach used to be like a "gas
factory!'' That is, when she ate a
meal it seemed to turn right into
gas. She was always bloated, had
awful stomach gas pains, daily
headaches and constant irregular
bowel action. Now, however, this
lady says she is FREE of STOM-
ACH GAS and she says the change
is due to taking INNER-AID. Her
meals agree with her. No gas or
bloat after eating. Headaches and
constipation are gone" Oh! what
relief" states this lady. why
don't other gas and constipation
sufferers get INNER-AID.
