of the cops whom Valentine hao
promised 10 uphold always IN the
right, was that Valentine, like a
good general, just decided it was
mis- duty to carry On and make
the best of conditions. He could
have quit and caused an overnight
scandal but that would have done
the public no good. He was sitting
on a situation that might call for
the execution of his disaster pro-
gram. We might nave ali raids or
the enemy, or the communists
might foment race riots.
After it was over and he hoped
to rest, he accepted a call from
General Macarthur to reorganize
the Japanese police system. He
was desperately tired but ne went
and put in three months at small
pay. He was never well again.
A few weeks ago, on a Sunday
night, just before his broadcast OF
the gang-buste-s" we had supper
in a corner of a modest restaurant
near Broadway. This seedy man,
who might be a grocer, knew more
about gambling and knavery in
professional sport than other pa
irons of the place could have
imagined.
II am making more money today
than I ever thought there was in
the world" he said. "But how
can a fellow be happy? Mrs. Valen-
tine got a pork loin roast and it
cost 81. God Almighty, 81 for a
piece of meat! 1 am not squawk-
ing. I am rolling in money. But
II know a couple of young kids
and the husband is getting $45 a
week. What are they going to eat
on $45 a week with pork at 81 a

Well, God reward him, because

More Sugar, Please


Residents are urged to contact the
North Carolina congressional delegation
in Congress with appeals that they de-
|mand restoration of normal sugar allot-
ment. John H. Farrell, the city indus
trial agent, has announced that whereas
the average individual consumption is
100 pounds a year Wilmingtonians got
only seventy-three pounds last year.
It is to get a better deal in 1947 that
he would spur all local households to
ask the aid of our senators and rep
resentative in convincing the Secretary
of Agriculture that the deficiency in
last years Individual ration be made
up.
Mr.. Farrell points. out that Cuba,
Hawaii and Puerto Rico will have larger
than usual crops of cane sugar and that
the American family should have it's full
share, even if it is necessary to reduce
shipments to war-impoverished lands.
It is certainly true that Whining
tonians, and in fact residents of all
United States communities, have been
cut short that other peoples might have
more. Without undue selfishness it is
fair to think that the home folks have
sacrificed enough, and are entitled to
more consideration than they have en-
joyed in the past.
This is said without rancor, or failure
to recognize that the war created an
obligation upon this country to do it's
part in feeding and otherwise caring
for the needy in impoverished coun-
tries. But in all fairness it would seem
that having done so much, both for our
war allies and Hitler's victims, the
time is ripe to provide for our own needs
as well as theirs.
We cannot dissuade ourselves that
even with other sugar-producing coun-
tries anticipating larger yields from
their next planting, we are guilty of
overlooking our opportunity to produce
more sugar at home. The beet sugar
industry of the West has been allowed
to slump, largely we learn because much
OF the normal quota of workers were
needed for military service.
Well, the War is over, at least in the
lighting stage, and many thousands of
men, largely veterans, are out of work
and seeking jobs. With adequate search
and planning the Agricultural Depart
ment doubtless could bring this indus
try back to normal and with a little
more effort to a greater volume of pro-
duction than in the past.
There are millions of acres from
California to Utah and Colorado capable
OF producing large beet sugar CROPS.
ana a large percentage of these acres
are now idle. The Agricultural DEPART
ment has an unexcelled opportunity to
encourage sugar beet planting, and 50
relieve the American people of their
dependence upon imports.
Let's 90 a little more for ourselves
IN SO doing, we'll find that we can do
more for our neighbors.

Written for NEA Service

During my recent air trip
around the country l had a meeting
with the officers of the Cincinnati
Bridge League, then went to the
home Of Charlton Wallace, Cinci-
matt bridge writer. We we're dis
cussing today's hand and Wallace
said that a surprising number Of
players went down on it because
they elected to play one Of two
illnesses right. In other words, they
took the spade finesse, and when
it failed they took the diamond
finessee, hoping to discard the
losing spade on the c Of dia-
monds.
AS Wallace pointed out, declarer
could have made the contract cas-
lily with the following line of play.
Win the first trick with the ace of
hearts, cash the king of hearts and
ruff a small heart with dummy's
ten of clubs. Return to the North
hand with a club, ruff another
heart, then pick up the outstanding
trumps. Lead a small spade, and
if East does not put up the ten
finesse dummy's nine-Spot. When
West wins, he must lead back ito
the spade or diamond tenace.
With tenace positions such as
the South hand holds, it is foolish
for declarer to trust to a straight
finesse. Certainly in more than
half of such cases. you can get
an end-play and avoid one or the
other finesse.

THE ROAD TO PEACE

Our everyWhere-sought road to

Bethlehem and Calvary and Cali

heights of Sinai.
Christmas is Christmas, with all
OF its widely-diffused good will,

the love that He in%carnated is able
to bring about the peace on earth
for which all mankind hungers. In
sublimest reality, He is ''the Way
Let us away with all shallow
thinking, and legalistic half way

the truth that the new Spirit which
Jesus imparts to human hearts is
the only Power equal to mankind's
present desperate need. AS a re-

lar passage from Zechariah, it is

SITkA FACILITIES
 OF ARMY, NAVY
 BE GIVEN TO ANS

Final Congressional approval Of Alaska Native Service plans to take over the Navy facilities on Japonsk Island, adja1ent to Sitka, and nearby Army installations appeared bright as the Senate last week ap- proved those sections of the Inter- for Department appropriations bill having to do with these projects.
 The bill authorized transfer of the facilities to the Alaska Native Ser vice without transfer of funds. Fur ther. it carried an appropriation of s1 1,2C6. .4O0 for converting buildings for special use and for additional construction. This is in connection with 200-bed tuberculosis sanator- ium which the federal government intends to establish at Sitka. In ad- dition. a 6O0-pupil boarding school the largest in Alaska, will be To- cated there.
 The bill also carries an appro- priation of s345,0OO for operation of the sanatorium and school during the next fiscal year The provis- ion having to do with both these projects was inserted after it had passed the House, so approval of the House conferees must be ob- tained. Since they have been very sympathetic to the idea of a more real approach to the tuberculosis problem, there may be no sub stantial objection in conference. Some of the House members have told Delegate Bartlett they are very much in favor of the approprla- tion.

Army Families in ET0
Get 5096 Canned Meat

The meat shortage has hit the
dependents of military personnel in
the European theater, requiring
them to take half of their normal
supply in canned meats, the War
Department told The Star today.
In some instances, K rations have
been issued to personnel on troop
trains, the department said.
The Star asked authorities at the
Pentagon Building about the cur
rent meat situation among soldiers
and their dependents in Europe.
The War Department cabled and
received this reply:
Dependents purchase meat and
food from Regular Army commits
saries in this theater. = K ra-
tions have not been used to mess
military personnel in established
messes.
Dependents are permitted to
purchase meao on percentage Of
40 per cent roasting and frying beef;
80 per cent boiling and stewing
beef, and 80 per cent ground beef.
This is the same ratio of meat
as issued to military personnel. Also,
the amount they are allowed to
purchase is dependent entirely upon
the supply of meat available; for
example, recently, because OF the
shortage of fresh meat, dependents
have been forced to buy so per cent
of their requirements in canned
meats"
