Recreation For Youths To
Be Discussed AT Meet
ing On Thursday

The Wilmington Lions club, at
its meeting Thursday, will en-
deavor to formulate a program to
create diversion or entertainment
that may halt the vandalism
youths r repeatedly perpetrating
On Market street, between Seven
teenth street and Burnt Mill
creek.
A spokesman for the club said
yesterday it does not "have the
slightest idea of engaging il police
or detective work." but rather 1t
planned to arrange a program
that would prevent the youths
from perpetrating any further
pranks, or at least cut down on
the vandalism.
Officials Of the Lions pointed out
that visitors to the city depend on
signs for guiding them to places
of interest. They said that the
metal signs placed at Burnt Mill
creek and Market street, announc-
ing the time and place for the
regular meetings of the club, have
been torn down on several oc-
casions.
The club was instrumental in
having a shelter installed at Sew
enteenth a d Market streets, to
accommodate soldiers and Ma
rines while they waited for rides
to Camps Davis and Lejeune.
This shelter, it was pointed out.
was turned over so often by
pranksters and finally damaged so
badly that it had to be removed.
The sign directing motorists at
Seventeenth and Market to Blue
thenthal airport has also been torn
down and thrown away by some
body.
Other instances involving van
dalism have been reported from
time to time, one complainant re-
porting that somebody slashed the
front seat cover of his automobile
while it was parked in the Big
Star parking lot on North Third
street.
Authorities also pointed out that.
ia addition to the wave of vandal-
ism. there is also considerable
petty crime. Tee Police depart
ment gave W2rning yesterday to
shoppers to be on the alert for
purse and grocery snatchers.
Two shoppers in a Third street
Super market yesterday reported
that they had been robbed of their
Purchases. Mrs. L. j. Mills, 1O4
North Monroe street, Sunset Park,
reported that she had purchased
SIS worth of foodstuffs, stolen from
her before she left the store. B.
C. Wilkins, 624 Dock street, re-
ported a similar experience IN
vc!ving S. worth of groceries.
Fifty dollars in money were
stolen when the billfold of M. M.
Moore, 202 Nun street, was taken
while he was endorsing a check
at a bank yesterday. He reported
that he had placed his billfold on
the desk for a moment. that a
woman came up to the desk and
in the next moment she and the
billfold had vanished.
E. L. Daugherty. 405 Castle

two tires were stolen from his
motor truck while it was parked
at the Greenfield filling station

There are those who predict he will so

dent that Mr.. Bricker cannot have the
support of the Ohio delegation This
same group would in all probability
prefer Messrs. Warren or Vandenberg
to either Dewey or Stassen
Messrs. StasSen and Dewey have the
spark of leadership which is lacking in
their more conservative opponents for
the presidential nomination. Both are
young and virile; both have proved
themselves past masters at the political
game. Without it neither would have
become chief executive of his state
Both had good records as executives
Gov. Dewey has shown himself during
the war and since the close of hostilities
able to grasp and deal with important
issues in forward looking manner.
His foresight in getting through the
State Legislature rent-control law and
an FEPC law is already bringing him
high praise-since the Federal laws
have gone. at least temporarily. into the
discard. Gov Dewey still must win re-
election--but his chances appear TO be
bettering every day.
The danger to both MeSSrs. Stassen
and Dewey is that the conservative ele-
ment in the party, welded to the idea
that this country can return to the DAYS
of Harding and Coolidge, may be able
to swing too many delegates in the
l948 Republican National Convention
Much will depend, however, on the way
the congressional elections go in No

publican make in the event they con-
troll the next Congress

Molotov on Germany

The hope of Big Four" under
standing. encouraged by the recent
agreement on the holding of peace
conference, has been promptly
chilled by the pronouncement of
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov on
Germany and the sharp reply of
Secretary of State ByrneS, these ex-
changes indicating the wide gulf
which exists between Moscow and
Washington on the handling of
Europe'S top problem-the treatment
of the shattered Third Reich"
There can be no question that Mr..
Molotov was speaking 'by the book"
for it is the general impression that
he was merely vocalizing state
ment drafted in the Kremlin and
sent to him for delivery verbatim.
This statement is primarily a
trenchant criticism of Mr.. Byrnes'
proposal for four-power, twenty
flve-year treaty to keep Germany
disarmed. which had encountered a
cool reaction from Molotov when it
was proposed at the session of the
conference held earlier in the spring.
But Molotov's criticism went far be-
yond that specific matter, broaden
ing into general caStigation of
American. British and even French
actions and attitudes in their re-
spective zones of occupation, to-
gether with their proposals for fu-
ture handling of Germany. And all
this was coupled with a categorical
demand for war reparations from
Germany amounting to $10000,000,-
900.
Secretary Byrnes' reply was gen.
eral rebuttal of Mr.. Molotov's argu-
ment, answering point by point.
Pointing out that the Soviet SpokeS-
man was confusing various issues
and even going back on agreements
previously entered into by Russia
and the western powers, the Secre-
tary reiterated the American posi-
ton and showed the incompatibility
of Molotov's demands. For instance,
he showed that the reparations flg-
ure cited by Molotov as must" had
been discussed as far back as the
Yalta Conference. and that at the
Potsdam Conference, held more
than year ago, all had agreed, in
n, II -
an impossible figure for Germany
to pay
Mr.. Molotov's new intransigeance
Is all the more diSquieting when
viewed against the background of
Soviet actions in the Russian zone
of occupation, and of the fierce
campaign of criticism and denunci-
alton against American and British
policy toward Germany which is si-
multaneously being carried on in
the officially inspired Moscow press.
1t should be remembered that
Germany is the meat of the Euro
pean problem. The settlements of
the Axis satellite states, which have
been so furiously debated at the
conference of Foreign Ministers, are.
in themselves. little more than diplo-
matte horS d'oeuvres to the main
course. In the long run, disposition
Of minor matters will be merely pal
liatives if an understanding regard
ing Germany is not attained.

Checking on Investigators

One lesson to be learned from dis
closures thus far in the sensational
Carson empire" war contracts case
is that congressional committees
should investigate their investigators
before hiring them. That this has
not been done in at least some in
stances in the past is evident from
testimony before the Senate War
Investigating Committee concerning
the background of the Carson
brothers, Murray and Henry. This
pair, it was revealed, conducted spe-
cial Investigations in 1884 and 1885
for the Select House Committee to
Investigate Real Estate Bond Hold
ings and Reorganizations.
Had the Select Committee taken
the trouble to check on the records
of these men before appointing them
it would have found that Murray
was well known to police and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation by
reason of five arrests and that
Henry had been dismissed from the
Bureau of Internal Revenue after
being confronted with a charge of
Irregularities At the time of his
appointment by the committee
Murray's record at the F'BI showed
that under the alias" of Wolf"
Carson he had been bailed on a
robbery charge in 1907, that he had
been given a suspended sentence
for diSorderly conduct in 1915, that
he had been arrested and released
as a material witness in a murder
case in 1918, that he had been dis
charged from custody after being
held on grand larceny charge in
1923 and that he had been accused
of violating corporation ordinances"
in 1926.
Yet these brothers were assigned
the responsibility of conducting con-
fldential Investigations for COM
mittee of Congress engaged in
checking on alleged bond manipula-
tions by certain individuals and
groups. Representative SABBATH of
Illinois, who, as chairman of the
Select Committee, made the ap-
pointments, says he acted on the
recommendation of others and that
he did not check police records,

This Changing World
BY Constantine Bro,on

Whether by accident or design, the de-
cision of UNRRAs Chairman Fiorello
La Guardia to suspend all help to
China and the appointment of Dr. J.
Leighton Stuart instead OF Gen. Albert
Wedemeyer as Ambassador to China ap-
pear to be tied together. They are inter-
preted in some official quarters as an
endeavor on the part of the administra-
ton to demonstrate that in spite of the
previous utterances from it's highest
representatives the American Govern
ment does not necessarily lean" toward
the national government of Generals
slmo Chang Kai-Shek
1t was known in Washington since last
April that Gen. Wedemeyer, the Ameri-
can theater commander in China, had
been designated at the recommendation
of Gen. George C. Marshall as Ameri-
cas- ambassador to China to replace
Gen. Patrick Hurley. Before assuming
his new duties Gen. Wedemeyer was re-
called to the United States for rest and
consultation. President Truman and
Secretary Byrnes were pleased with
Gen. Marshalls recommendation not
only because Wedemeyer has had for
two years unique practical experience
with the problems which are now Great
ing chaotic situation in China but also
because of his straightforward and
realistic approach to all these matters.
Furthermore, since Wedemeyer also had
been Chiang's chief of staff, he enjoyed
the full confidence of the generalissimo,
who accepted his councils more readily
than those of any other Chinese man or
WeSterner. The name of Gen. Wede-
meyer was not sent to the Senate be-
cause 1t had been agreed that it should
be withheld until Gen. Marshall had
completed his arrangements to bring
about cessation of hostilities between
the Marking and Yenan governments
On Monday. however. Acting Secretary
of State Dean Acheson informed him
that his appointment would not be sent
up to the Senate because the President
decided to send somebody else AS Am
basSador to China. 1t was explained to
Wedemeyer that in the light of the
latest developments in China, his re-
turn to that country as America s full
1edged Ambassador might be misunder-
stood by the Communists and might
jeopardize the chances of the agreement
Marshall is striving to bring about be-
Evening star., 1946-07-11

tween the Yenan faction and the CEN
trail government.
The appointment of the 7O-year-old
DR.. Stuart to one of the most ticklish
diplomatic jobs is regarded by the
State Department as a happy choice.
The able professor is what is known
as an "old China hand" and never has
been engaged in any kind of politics.
He Is expected to have a complete
'sloof" approach on all the present
problems which have given Washing
ton and Gen. Marshall such severe
headaches ever since VI day.
Our policy IN China was defined in
1945 by President Roosevelt in his in
structlons TO his top-ranking military
and diplomatic representatives at
Chungking. 1t was then summed up as
follows: The short-range policy of the
United States is to assist by every
means at its disposal the central gov
ernment of Chang Kai-shek. The long
range policy must depend on world
wide developments and the American
military and diplomatic officers must
bear in mind that at a given moment
shift In some other direction may be
necessary.
This policy is now apparently being
adopted. The great care exercised by
the administration in making an 11th-
hour selection of an Ambassador who
may be even more welcome by the
Yenan group than by Chang is being
linked with La Guardia S decision to
halt any further food shipments to
emma. Among the reasons for this
suspension is the charge of UNRRA
employees in China that food was de-
terlorating and being pilfered while
Chinese i'll anti-government sections
were left to die. Less than per cent
of UNRRA supplies reached Communist
controlled areas On the surface this
is powerful argument for the punish
ment of the Chinese. But those con-
Versant with the situation in China say
that the remote Communist-co
areas comprising over 50,000000 souls
lack adequate means Of communica-
ton The few available facilities are
difficult To use because of the fighting
which has been going on between Mao
Use Tung and the national governments
forces. Under these conditions it is
more difficult TO get relief TO the needy
than it is in any other part of the world.

Ambassador to Chino

President Truman'S nomination of
John Leighton Stuart to be Ambas-
sador to China comes as something
of surprise after the rather wide
spread expectation that the post
which has been vacant ever since
General Hurley's resignation some
months ago-Was to have been taken
over by General Wedemeyer. The
appointment suggests presidential
change of mind for reasons linked
with General Marshalls long and
patient mission, as special envoy, to
bring about a genuine peace be-
tween Generalissimo Chiang'S Ma
-2nal government and the Chinese
Communists. Mr.. Stuart is reported
to be looked upon favorably by both
sides. but General Wedemeyer, as
commander of American forces in
China, necessarily has had close and
friendly relations with the general
issimo, and the Communists might
have seized upon that as an excuse
for displeaSure had he been named
Ambassador.
Mr. Stuart's appointment thus
may be regarded as a move to avoid
causing any real or fancied griev-
ance on either side as General Mar
shall laborS to join the Chang gov
ernment and the Communists in
binding agreement to end factional
strife and achieve national unity.
Mr.. Stuart is not military man.
China born, Presbyterian mission
ary, a distinguished educator who
has spent the greater part of his
life among the Chinese, he is ex-
ceptionally well qualified to carry
out the task the President has
turned over to him. Besides aSsum-
ing regular ambassadorial duties, he
will work closely with General Mar
shall, and since the Communists
cannot object to him, as they might
have to General Wedemeyer, he may
be able to contribute Importantly to
the effort to establish real internal
peace in China.

as Vice President. Mr.. Hillman was
able to defeat the aspirations of
James F. Byrnes. His skill as an
organizer, in the use of propaganda
to influence the mass mind" and
in inducing workers in CIO districts
to register and vote was hardly open
to question. In the 1914 campaign
Mr.. Hillman's PAC was a potent
factor. But there is considerable
evidence, that it has been losing
ground, that, temporarily at least,
hostile reaction has set in. And so,
while Mr.. Hillman was an effective
ground breaker in the field of labor
politics, it may well be that his
individual effectiveness was dimin-
ishing at the time of his death.
Whether those who will succeed him
in the ranks of political labor can
carry on successfully remains to be
seen

No man who remembers as a bov his

Francis Drake can fail to thrill at the
prospect OF a. cargo of pieces of eight

very thought of it takes the kinks out

The Santa Rosa is said to have gone
down 400 years ago during a voyage
in which she was carrying from Mexico
to Spain an estimated $4,000 900 looted
from the treasure halls of Montezuma
by the conQuiStador, Herman Cortes.
Now Mexico is reported readying a
claim to the gold on behalf of the
descendants of Cortes. Wouldn't it be
more logical to claim it for the heirs
of the Aztecs from whom it was ex-
torted by treachery and torture?
