Life itself is a risk, walter--and you measure a man by the way he takes it The bitter irony of 1t is the greatest risks are taken by people who think they are avoid- ing taking any risk at all ., About the most dangerous thing man can do. as any soldier knows is to seek safety. Life Is the game where you can't duck the odds by not taking a chance. But most peo- pie turn tail and then holler life has cheated them, just because 1t kicks them in contempt.
 You can't shut the. world out of your life by trying to shut your door on the world It's true that to every man, woman and child, It's a different world. But the key to good writing, and other things. is that just where every body thinks he's most different is where he's most alike Take guys and dolls. When they're in love each thinks the one was born for the other. But the. fact is any guy who wants to devote the time to 1t can usually capture a dolls heart--and vice versa. But the test of thor oughbred is not how heart is tak- en or even how it is used. It's how it's given back.
 My world has been with People and Words. Words are the tools of our trade and words are funny things.

DECLARED CRITICAL
Goldsboro Man, Passenger
In Overt Oil
Tanker, May Survive

Elnor Combs, coldsboro, injured
critically in the same accident
which claimed the life of his riding
companion, last night was in SER
ious condition in James Walker
Memorial hospital.
Hospital attendants said Combs,
suffering from a combination of
bone fractures and other injuries,
had an even chance of survival,
however.
Killed in the same accident was
Luther A. Gurley, Mount Olive,
driver of a heavily-laden oil tank
er that jack-knifed on U. S. High
way II near the Prince George
creek bridge south of Castle Hayne
late Friday afternoon.
The tankertruck, carrying 1000
gallons of gasoline, overturned and
crashed in to a roadside ditch. The
inflammable fuel created a traffic
hazard until it was drained off the
highway.
Acting Coroner E. L. Strickland
said last night had been unable
to locate any witnesses to the acct
dent and that decision determin-
ing an inquest would be withheld
temporarily.

AS TORRID issue

WASHINGTON, April g. P) -
For the first time since it's original
enactment in 1910, the draft law
is likely to become red-hot politi-
cal issue in this years COMPRESSION
al elections.
That became apparent today as
the House Military committee in
dictated a determination to throw
into the lap of the new congress
the entire matter of peacetime ex-
tension of the selective service act
The act expires on May Is of this
year.
Should congress 60 along with
the committee, many members be-
lieve, the proposition of whether to
keep the law on the books through
1947 will be one of the first demand
ing decision from the 80th con-
gress when it convenes in Jan
uary.
And because Of intense public in
terest, they believe, the voters will
demand that candidates for cleo
ton to the 80th congress take a
stand in their campaign.

J FOR ARMY SERVICE
Two Generals Laud Work
Performed By Colonel
Now In Customs Office

Col. John Bright Hill, U. S. Col
lector of Customs still on terminal
leave from the Army, has recently
received two Communications Tor
work accomplished in the Judge
Advocate generals department.
The first commentator, from
Brig. Gen. A. W. Vanaman. was
received by Col Hill for his work
as Judge Advocate of the San An
tonic Air Service command in Tex
as. II came from the first general
officer in the American Army who
was captured by the Nazis in Ger
many.
In 1914, Gen. Vanaman was cap
tured after he parachuted from a
plane over Nazi controlled Ger
many. Captured, he was placed in
the position of liason officer be-
tween the American Red Cross and
the Germans and also was the
spokesman for American prisoners
of the Germans. Just before he
went overseas, Gen. Vanaman
wrote Col. Hill:
GAS Judge Advocate of the San
Antonio Air Service command, and
a member of my staff, you have
consistently evidenced an exem-
plary devotion to duty, unselfish
loyalty and commendable efflclen-
cy in fulfilling your responsible
ties"
The second commentator came
from Maj. Gen. F. L. Anderson,
assistant chief of the Air Staff,
Headquarters Army Air Forces in
Washington, D. C. Stationed in the
office of the Air Judge Advocate,
Col. Hill was chief of the Legisla-
tive Research and Drafting sec
ton. Gen. Anderson wrote:
"You have displayed exceptional
organizational ability in establish
ing the legislative research and
drafting section of the Air Judge
Advocates office. You were chosen
for these tasks because of your I'M
usual abilities in the legislative
field. The work of this section is
of extreme national Importance, re-
quiring sound judgement and de-
tailed legislative research event
ually forming the groundwork OF
congressional legislation. Y u |
prior education, legal training and
cooperative spirit was prime fac
tor toward insuring the success OF
the work of the section.

No Price Boost And No Meat For States

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. (P)- Postmaster General Robert E. liar negan tossed orders from Demo cratic big wigs in the waste bas- ket today and decided instead to go along with resident Truman in the meat controversy.
 The executive committee of the Democratic national committee, which Hannegan heads, had di- rected him to discuss the meat shortage with the price decontro' board.
 MT. Truman, risking party dis cord with Congressional elections near, took the stand that there should be no price boosts.
 Following a cabinet meeting to- day at which the meat situation was topic, Hannegan told re- porters that after reading the Presidents statement of yesterday he had decided against discussing the scarcity with the decontrol board and other government agencies.
 "As far as I am concerned, it's all over," Hannegan said
 He added that he had discussed the matter with the President and that he stands by the chief execu- tive'S statement HOO percent"
 Hannegan said he had discussed the matter with some members of the party executive committee and that they were in agreement with him that the matter should be dropped.
 Secretary of war Patterson told newsmen after the White House cabinet session that the subject of meat had come up "in a general way" He did not elaborate
