Bad Reporting

1t seems a pity that some of our
newspaper columnists who have sprung
up of late have never had the advantage
of any newspaper training. We are
thinking particularly of UNRRA d.
rector Fiorello La Guardia, former
mayor of New York, who finds time
in his busy life to do a column which
is run as a paid ad by a New York
furniture company.
The other day, from Warsaw, Mr..
La Guardia had this to say: I'm every
capital that l have visited, men in high
office as we'll as heads of government
have pulled out clippings of American
newspapers and have asked me why
the errors, why the misrepresentation,
why the false information. If they
were editorials the answer was easy.
When they were news items, %purporting
to represent the facts, there was no
answer"
Now, any good city editor would
jump down a reporters throat for such
writing. Who made the complaints !?
What were the papers in question, and
what did the stories deal with? Are
you sure that these officials were UNI
biased and had all the facts? Did you
investigate all the complaints and prove
to your w satisfaction that they con-
tanned Misrepresentation and false in
formation?
But Mr.. La Guardia has an out. "I
am not going to mention any particular
newspaper today" he writes further on,
lest this article be rejected"
That is as if a newspaper wrote:
There are corrupt, grating politicians
in this city, but we are not going to
name them for fear they will sue for
libel"
If you are going to be a journalist
MIR. La Guardia, get some facts to back
up your accusations, and name names
Even the papers which were the object
OF your most abusive attacks during
your years as mayor do that much.

Atomic Energy Has Pleasant Side
As Well As Weapon OF Destruction

ical society Thursday by DR.. Mil
ton Burton of Notre Dame.
Cold light, that comes from fire.
flies, also is produced from a
large family of chemicals known
as prosphors. Some are in use to
give materials a glow that can just
be seen in the dark.
But light as bright as that from
electric bulbs is also emitted from
some prosphors, when they are
under bombardment of radioactive
rays, or ultraviolet rays. Radio
active rays have been too expen-
sive for this kind of light. DR.. Bur-
ton, however, said that atomic
ovens may remove this barrier by
producing large quantities OF
radioactive substances.
The same radiation can be used
to purify a city's water supply,
and at the same time to sterilize
dangerous sewage. These radla-
tions would be produced automatl-
cally BY an atomic energy plant
making electric power, steam and
heat.
The cost of such an atomic plant,
as reported by DR.. Charles A.
Thomas, of Monsanto Chemical
company, is at present only two
and a half times greater than
building a coal power station.
furthermore the atomic power is
only slightly more costly than coal
power,
DR.. Burton predicted many in
dustrial uses of the radioactive
materials. Petroleum, he said,
may be cracked at low tempera-
lures with the aid of radioactive
materials.
Metals may be hardened better
Or more easily. The powerful
atomic rays alter the fundamental
properties of materials exposed
to them. This, he explained, makes
it likely that raw materials like
coal, clays and natural gas, can
be caused to combine in new ways
to form chemical compounds.
1t should be possible to produce
vaccines for virus diseases by use
OF the rays, as we'll as new drugs
OF many kinds. DR.. Burton said
that the atomic by products offer
a new field Of research known as
radiation chemistry,

Traffic Safety

Governor Cherry is justly concerned
over the tremendous loss in life and
injury resulting from traffic accidents,
and solicits support of the state press
for the five-year program undertaken
by the State Committee for Traffic
Safety which has as it's objective the
reduction by so per cent of traffic &C
cidents and fatalities.
If this program is successful, as it
must be, Mr.. Cherry says in a letter
to the Star, the result would be the
saving of 1925 human lives, 1880
personal injuries, and S140,625,000 to
the people and business interests of
North Carolina. (These figures are bas-
ed on the experience of the first quarter
of 1946.)
He need have no fear that North
Carolina newspapers will fail to support
the campaign. They are 100 per cent
for traffic safety, as perusal of them
will prove.
What is needed is equal public sup
port. This is the work the Traffic
Safety Committee will seek to do. It
can be done through educating the driv-
ing public to the Importance of constant
alertness to danger, perpetual careful
ness and the common courtesy people
extend to others in all situations ex-
cept in many cases when behind the
steering wheel Of a motor vehicle.
MIR. Cherry may be sure that in this
educational campaign the press Of the
state will cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent. The Star pledges to do it's part.

Americas Card Authority

The world masters pair cham
pionship thi year went to
Charles j. Solomon and Sidney
Silodor of Philadelphia, two OF
the country's 81 Life Masters.
Solomon has long been an active
member Of the executive commit
tee of the American Contract
Bridge League and probably at
tends more tournaments than any
other player in the country. He
has won most of the important
championships.
He and Sidney Silodor got to
seven-odd on today's hand, West
doubled and Solomon North re-
doubled. Solomon won the open
ing heart lead, cashed the king
of spades, led a low spade to dunn
my ruffed a heart, went back to
dummy with another trump and
ruffed another heart, hoping OF
course that the queen might be-
come established.
Then he started to run the spade
suit. He was careful to retain all
of dummy's clubs, but he did bare
down to a singleton diamond.
When it came to the last five
tricks, Solomon held three dia-
monds to the ace and the queen
and n club. West held the blank
king OF diamonds and four clubs.
Solomon cashed his queen of
clubs, led the club to dummy, dis
carded his losing diamond on the
high club and played the diamond
queen. Vests king covered and
the ace and ten of diamonds won
the last two tricks.
The redouble of course gave
Solomon a top. That is why
most experts say that it does not
pay to dobule a seven contract.
You will usually get a fine score
II you defeat it, but if it is re-
doubled, there is no chance for
any points,

Straw In The Wind


New York state politics have taken
a turn which may be s%ymptomatic of
what can be expected in 1948.
The communists have decided to
throw in with the democrats, not be-
cause they love Mead more but Dewey
less. Their objective is to defeat Gov
ernor Dewey and the only way they can
hope to achieve their purpose is to vote
the democratic ticket.
Neither Mead nor the New York
democrats want them. In fact the demo-
cratic convention went on record as op-
posing communism and fascism lock,
stock and barrel. But there is nothing
they can do to turn back the communist
tide, now that it has set in their d.
rection. According to the American way,
a voter may vote as he sees fit.
It is such straws as this that indi-
cate how the wind blows. The same
thing might happen in 1913 in the ma
tional presidential campaign. And if the
communists and other fellow-travelers
decide then to go democratic no protest
or unwelcome sign could stop them.
Mr.. Truman, if he is the democratic
candidate, would be under heavy obi
CATION to the forces avowedly determln-
ed to end the American way OF life, and
we may be sure he would be compelled
to meet the obligation in full.
There is a way in New York now
and in the nation two years hence to
circumvent the communists. 1t would
not be orthodox, to be sure, but In such
emergencies unorthodox measures would
be justified. 1t consists of democrats
sacrificing their cherished traditions
for the time and voting republican. By
this method the communists could be
overwhelmed.
1t is not that Mr.. Dewey is a states
man of the first rank. He is a good
steady-going, occasionally politically in
discreet politician with his eye on the
White House at some future time. But
in the circumstances. and without dis
to the Democratic party's STAN
dards, it must be conceded that his re-
election as New York governor would
be more desirable than the election of
Senator Mead if Mead's election was
made possible only with the support of
the communists.
In broad terms, the situation would
be the same in the next national cleo
ton.

"Pay Your Own Bills"

Out of the wilderness Of cross pur-
poses in which the major powers of the
world seem to be lost, one clear path
energies. When the State Department
representative, Willard Thorp, announc-
ed in Paris that the United States has
no intention of seeking r%eparations from
Italy, despite the billions spent to free
that benighted land from German thral-
dom, he put this nation on record as
having but one purpose for making war
on the Axis: the liberation of enslaved
peoples and the security of it's own
borders.
There is nothing new in this, of
course. It has been the idealistic posi-
ton Of the American government time
out of mind.
But that is not all. Mr.. Thorp also
told the italian Economic Commission
that we do not intend to continue to
pour out aid to Italy only to have it
used to meet claims of other nations.
This is sound sense and even sounder
business.
Why should it not be the principle
upon which we extend aid to any foreign
nation? A case in point is the help we
gave and are still giving Yugoslavia
which there is reason to believe has
gone chiefly to the Russians and not
the Yugoslavs.

LETTER BOX
NOT ~YUGOSLAYIA

To the Editor:
1t Is not my desire to take is
sue in this controversy OF the
Winter Park drainage situation,
but after reading Mr.. Clayton's
letter in today's Star I feel free 10
asserting that I do not see that
any group of citizens OF any com
munity who have the welfare and
health of that community at heart
are to be constructed as contrary.
1 have been a resident of the
Audubon section about four years
and it SO happens that this partlc-
ular section in which l reside is
self-drained, but as an interested
citizen l attended the open meet
ing which was held at the Winter
Park school building on Tuesday
night, this being the first meeting
l have had the opportunity to at
tend. l was drafted into chairman
ship of that meeting and I failed
to note any personal attacks or
MIR. Hewlett or the county commits
sioners personally, but rather the
lethergy Of whoever is responsible
for the elevation of existing con-
ditions. 1t is an established fact
that the greater part of Winter
Park has been in an inundated con-
dition, which can be verified by
the residents, and also by photo
graphs which Mr.. Hinson display
ed at the Tuesday night meeting.
In closing let me say that we
are not a contrary or antagonistic
group. We are proudly a part of
New Hanover. county, a commu-
nifty which has and is contributing
to religious, educational, medical,
professional and civic activities.
This is not Y%ugoslavia. Tito
doesn't live here. We do not shoot
down planes as they fly over Con
inspection or whatever mission.
We realize that is the only way to
get over at times.) We are resi-
dents OF a part of New Hanover
county and only seeking relief
from flooded and contaminated
conditions which might jeopardize
health and life.

A LAKESIDE PICTURE

My dearest friend, the late
Louis A. H o m a n, Of Boston,
taught me to see living pictures.
An artist himself, he was always
quick to perceive an artistic COM
bination in nature. The originals
Of a picture are more beautiful
than anything that brush can
transfer to canvas.
Last evening at dusk, memories
of Louis crowded my mind as |
beheld a perfect picture connpo'
sition. In the near foreground was
the little island upon which we
once lived. At its western POM:
stood a fisherman, catching sn1all
fish. Back of him lay the qule'
lake, bronzed with a heavenly
glow. Beyond the trees and hills
of the farther shore the sun was
setting in indescribable glory BE-
tween, rested other Islands con-
tanning the homes Of friends Ine
looms sounded their weird walls
and wild ducks streamed between
us and the sunset.
1t was a perfect picture, sucn
as no artist could capture. over
it all seemed to brood the very
peace of God.
How beautifully Thou givest Us
of beauty, O Gou. A surge o.
gratitude a n d appreciation fnl'
