Only 3 Per Cent Are Worried.
(St. Louis Star-TimeS)

If further proof is needed for the theory that homo sapiens has dangerous flair for self deception and is inclined to try to danger by ignoring it, the evidence to hand in connection with the publics attitude toward the atomic bomb.
 Asked in American Institute of Public Opinion poll what is the most important problem facing the United States in the coming year, 46 per cent said 1t is the control of nfation 20 per picked food and other shortages; 10 per cent put the finger on maintenance of peace and conduct of foreign affairs; per cent have us worrying most about labor troubles per cent believe the chief trouble will be housing; per cent said jobs will the grief; per cent reconverSion, and another per cent-and only per cent-were of the opinion that the atomic bomb will constitute the most serious threat in the year ahead.
 None of the worries in the list is groundless but what will the dissipation of the mean if there is not freedom from the fear of the bomb? Or since the worrying span was limited to l2 months by the quesonnare, is it possible that the American people feel that they can wait longer than that before be- coming really concerned about the civilization destroy ing potentialities of the weapon?

CARROLL REECE's FOOT

COP boss Carroll Reece put his fcot in it while speaking for Re- publican Congressional candidates at Boise, Idaho. Reece claimed George Donner, Democratic candid ate for the Senate, was following a Communicated line in sup porting the Columbia Valley Auth ority What Reece forgot was that he had himself voted for the Ten nessee Valley Authority more than a dozen years ago, and IVA is the father of CVA.
 Reece was defeated for re-elec- tion in 1880 because of his opposi- tion to IVA, so reversed himself in 1882. He decided that whereas IVA might be communistic elsewhere, it was sound policy in his own district.

Meat Worry
At least one man isn't worrying
too much about the meat shortage.
He's the Missourian whose false
teeth have just been stolen.-MO'

The Wilmington morning star., 1946-10-09

It has taken thousands of years for
humanity to admit and act upon the
insistent truth that the man who plans
and orders the death of innocent and
~unoffending thousands is as guilty as
the man who kills his innocent and IN
offending neighbor. The precedent is
now established.
The element of vengeance in the YER
dict is secondary; the principle of JUS
tice is all-important. From this day
forth the perpetrator of unprovoked,
aggressive war is individually and per-
sonally guilty of a crime against hui
mainly.
If there should be a future war, its
instigators will know that international
law and world opinion are immutable
upon that point. And since an instructive
love of life must reside in even the
cruelest and most fanatic minds, the
decision of the Nuremberg court may b e
one more deterrent of continuing war,
and one further hope for lasting peace.

Inter Planetary Travel

The %astronauts, that happy breed of
Twentieth Century pioneers who are
looking forward to rocket trips to the
moon, should get much encouragement
from the recent announcement by DR..
Fred l.. Whipple of Harvard University.
One of the major hazards facing the
would-be planet-bound voyager is the
constant shower of meteorites entering
the earth's atmosphere every day. AL
though the steady bombardment con-
sists of meteorites no larger than a
grain of sand, ONE are of greater
size.
For example the ones we see bv
night are about the size of a pea or a
pebble. It is friction with the air dur
ing their flight which generates heat.
hence the glowing meteorites we see
flashing across the skies.
Science tells us that then glowing
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-10-09

meteorites melt long before they reach
the surface of u globe.
But what about the Buck Rogerish
space ships of tomorrow when they col
Tide with one Of these earth-bound
shooting stars!
The learned gentleman at Harvard
addressed himself with this very prob
lem. His conclusions, hearty traveller OF
the future, lends much encouragement.
He finds that if the hull of a spheri-
cab space ship twelve feet in diameter
is one quarter of an inch thick it would
be penetrated by an average-slzed
meteorite, he means one that weights
only a milligram, a mere speck.
If the hull of the space ship is thin
ner than one-quarter of an inch, the
chance of penetration is much higher.
So designers of the forthcoming models
to be used in transporting passengers
to the moon, Mars, Venus, or Jupiter
must take this into consideration and
provide at least one-quarter of an inch
of protection in the form Of steel.
But DR.. Whipple being a true SCENT
list does not spare US the less pleasant
side of the picture. He cautions that
when a space ship encounters a traffic
accident involving a meteor a. large as
a boulder, the effects would be as dis
astrous as that produced by a sixteen
inch naval shell on a tramp steamer.
The ship would be. destroyed and every
mar aboard would have his life snutted
out.
Even a much smaller meteorite, no
larger than q walnut for example, II
penetrating a space ship would prove
fatal. The heat generated by such a pro-
iectile combined with the destruction
of the oxygen-producing machinery IN
the vessel would doom all aboard.
But least the stout-hearted traveller
of tomorrow lose interest in inter-plane-
tary travel, DR.. Whipple gives this as
surance. Meteors as big as a walnut or
bigger are few and far between. Just
as trips to the moon will be in our life
time, no doubt.

Your Chest Campaign

Americans, particularly those with
memories long enough to recall when
thrift was once considered a shining VIZ
ture, should take delight in the forth
coming Community Chest campaign
which opens here on the fifteenth OF
this month.
Seldom will you find a movement
that can contribute so much to the
betterment of a community at so little
expense than the numerous agencies
grouped together under the Red Feather
plan.
Your donation to the drive will be
administered capably and economically,
thus the greatest benefit will be deriv-
ed from every dollar received.
Many of Wilmington's leading pro-
fessional and business men are giving
lavishly of their time and efforts to
make the forthcoming drive a success.
Their services to the drive if measured
by their normal earning capacity would
total thousands of dollars.
Hence their generosity in lending
their capabilities to making the drive
a successful one constitutes a great
saving to actual expense associated
with numerous solicitations TO rcharity.
No high pressure tactics will be en-
ployed in giving every Wilmingtonian
and resident of New Hanover county the
opportunity Of doing his share towards
aiding those who are less fortunate. All
those actively connected with the 1916
Community Chest campaign are to be
congratulated for their willingness to
serve in so worthy a cause.
However, much Of their efforts will
go naught if the public does not respond
to their obligation by giving literally to
this
Wilmington, long famed as a city
that fails to do it's duty in any
worthy cause, will respond and respond
generously during the Community Chest
campaign.
And when the campaign closes with
its quota met, all of us can take salts
faction in a job well done. he public
recognizes the need for the Red Feather
agencies and nothing will stand in its
way of seeing that funds are made avail
able to carry on their work for another

Landmark of Justice

In the days when German military
power was at it's height, the enemies
of fascism used to dream what seemed
a hopeless dream. 1t was of a day when
the defeated Nazi leaders would be
brought to the bar of justice for trial
by an international tribunal represent
ing outraged humanity.
That, it seemed, would be the great
moment of vindication in world history.
Actually, the Nuremberg war crimes
trial was somewhat less impressive. The
arch criminal Hitler was not there. And
what promised to be the most spectacu-
lar courtroom drama" of all time as
sumed a ponderous pace as the court
ground and sifted a great grist of evil
dence for more than 10 months.
There were flashes Of drama, to be
sure. But gradually the trial slipped
back in the paper from Page One, and
many of its reporters slipped away to
fresher assignments. Even the thous-
ands of crimes of Nazidom, when cata-
logged and recounted in the Palace of
Justice, benumbed the mind by their
sheer massive weight.
Perhaps, too, we thought of the de-
PENDANTS too much as the rag-tag mob
that they were as they sat in the dock.
The contrast between this pallid, hag-
gard rabble and their former strutting,
overdressed arrogance could not be owe
looked or discounted. Yet there was the
temptation, as we read of the sniveling
and buck-passing in which those 81
men INDUCED, to allow past crimes to
shrink to the present stature of the
criminals.
But the high drama and immense
significance returned to the trial at its
close. That is fortunate, for it may HELP
the worlds millions who suffered from
nazlsm and fought it and hated it to
realize the full truth-that the trial
OF the Nazi criminals was indeed a land
mark in the history of law and justice
The physical existence of a criminal
even of such criminals as these, is OF
little ultimate Importance. Benito Mus
sollnl and Adolf Hitler died violently in
the midst of such violence that their
passing was of only momentary concern
The passing of the Nuremberg criminals
will be of similarly small Importance
1t cannot expiate a thousandth of their
crimes. The slaughtered Nazi victims
will be just as dead. The devastation OF
the Nazi war will be just as ruinous.
Yet because these men shall die, the
world is a different and better place

REAL N-EIGHBORLINESS

expression of Heighborliness. The
whole community was to be can

a young man vas appointed col

herself as chauffer. 1t was a task
to her taste, for she loves folks.
She came home from the expe.

failed to subscribe. All were full

was Edison T. Wood, member OF

The average player would have
opened the club queen, the top OF
his solid sequence, and declarer
would have no trouble at all to
make four spades. But Cain rea-
soned that with South bidding
diamonds and North supporting
him, West could not have more
than one diamond. Therefore he
led the diamond four. Declarer
won in dummy with the king and
led a low spade.
Wood, knowing that his partner
had some reason for not opening
a heart, won with the ace of
spades and returned the queen of
hearts, which Cain ruffed. A dia-
mond was returned, Wood ruffed,
