U. 5. Opposes Raising

Stop The OPA Wrangling

The congressional wrangle over OPA,
which has created conditions closely
resembling war filters, is not bettered
by President Truman's broad hint that
he will veto the bill now before the
Senate, if it is presented to him for
signature in it's present form.
Mr.. Truman is a firm believer in
price ceilings, despite the fact that
prices had been going up long before
OPA died on June 80, and proposes to
fight for their continuation if it takes
all summer. He may be right, on the
score that nobody can say with as
surance what levels prices generally
would have reached without the OPA,
On the other hand, he may be wrong.
At least, with some exceptions, manu-
%facturers and merchants have not Jump
ed prices since July 1 to black market
levels.
What is needed most in present
circumstances is peace between the
Capitol and the White House and agree
ment on what shall be done about the
cost to consumers of all commodities
IN general demand. AS it is, too much
time has been lost by this self-per-
petuating quarrel with ACCOMPANYING
disturbance of business and interrupt
ton of reconversion.
For the good Of the nation it is i'm
perative that Congress and President
Truman decide once and for all whether
the OPA is to be revived with a pro-
gram of effective price controls or
allowed to remain in it's grave. This
Intellectual squabbling is unsettling and
destructive of domestic economic Sc
curity.

with their Asiatic minds and bolshevik
ideology, have proved in every gather
ing of Allied ENJOYS, whatever their
standing or authority, that a common
ground for agreement is not existent.
Western and Eastern civilization can
no more e eye to eye today than
when Genghis Khan rode to battle or
Marco Polo went to China.
The only peace prospect today would
stem from such a treaty as Russia
would dictate. Without being the
seventh son of a prophet we can fore
see that this would be no peace at all,
but instead an incentive for more fight
ing. In the circumstances it is to be
questioned if separate treaties hold a
worse threat Of future war than the
present inability to bring East and West
together in a single treaty.

Disposal Of Shipyard

The properties Of the North Caro-
lima S%hipbuilding Company are not so
much a problem child, now that the war
is over, as the Maritime Commission
seems inclined to consider it. If turned
over to the North Carolina Ports Au-
thority it's usefulness will be perpetual
ed, and it will play an important part in
development of the Port of Wilmington.
On the other hand, if it is placed on a
standby footing, or turned over to the
War Assets administration for sale as
surplus property, it is questionable If
it can be disposed Of to the advantage OF
the port or the government in the re-
viving commerce of the nation.
1t violates no confidence to announce
that five industries, anxious to settle
here, are withholding their decision
until final disposal of the shipyard is
made. They want to establish plants in
that immediate vicinity. It is doubtful
if they would be satisfied with any other
sites in this region. Surely the new
business they would bring to the port
is a strong argument for Ports Au-
thority's claim. Nor is this the only
reason for awarding the yard to the Au-
thority. Once in possession, the Au-
thority plans to establish necessary
terminals and warehouses upon the
site, to maintain drydock service for all
ships making the port, and to service
the ships to be laid up in the Brunswick
river.
If the Maritime Commission should
undertake to perform this latter SER
vice, which would be an innovation in
its customary operation, a large appro-
priation would have to be made by Con-
gress. With the Ports Authority in
charge, this service alone would provide
employment for a large force of work
ers.
Considering the large investment the
government has made in the shipyard,
it is reasonable to expect it to make
such disposal of the property as offers
the greatest benefit to the future de-
velopment Of the community in which
it is located and the greatest commerce
1T can help to attract-which is the
North Carolina Ports Authority.

Waste Nicotine

Drs. A. L. Alexander and R. w.
Bost, in their book, "Studies in Sci
ence," recently published by the Uni
versity Press, Chapel Hill. announce
the possibility of utilizing nicotine
wasted in the manufacture of tobacco
products and left in the plant stalks.
If the quantity thus obtainable is large
it will be a real boon, especially to
horticulturalists. While nicotine is still
used to a limited extent in medicine its
chief utility is as an insecticide.
The announcement is reminiscent of
the experience of manufacturing chem
lists who extracted caffeine from coffee
for the drug trade and threw the de-
caffeinated coffee away until some en-
terprising member of their profession
discovered it was an acceptable bever-
age, losing none of coffee's qualities
but the "kick," and found a market
for it among people with quivery
hearts or subject to sleepless nights.
AS the proposal is to use only waste
nicotine, it is not to be expected that
smokers will have to forego the GUS
tomary "kick" in their tobacco.

A Gloomy Outlook

1t is said so often that it clogs, that
the surest way to lay the foundation
OF another war would be to sign
separate peace treaties with our former
enemies. Those clinging to this view
contend that only by working out a
formula which all the leading powers
can agree to may the world hope again
to live in security. It is a beautiful
theory, desirable above all other human
achievements. But there is no assurance
that it can be done.
The farther W Day recedes into
the past the possibility of writing a
peace mutually agreeable to the major
allies in the late war seems to grow

The British Loan

It is being said of the British loan,
finally approved by Congress and &C.
cepted without enthusiasm across the
Atlantic, that it will be as helpful for
the United States as for the British
Empire. The assertion is the express
sion of a theory which may or may
not turn out to be true. At this stage
Of the transaction no one can forecast
with any degree of accuracy what eff
feet it will have on our trade. If the
British employ their customary shrewd-
ness in commerce, if the war has not
deprived them of their sharpness in
business, it could we'll prove that the
United States will come out at the little
end of the horn while the Empire
absorbs the greater portion of the
profit. That is a risk the United States
has to take.
We have to take the risk because
the British held the line against Hit
Ter, at tremendous sacrifice, while we
were preparing to enter the war with
our tremendous industrial output and
manpower that the Western civilization
might escape being eradicated.
It is the English speaking world
upon which the ultimate hope of peace
and security depends. And when one
nation in that particular world is so
impoverished that it cannot carry on
alone, it is the duty of another nation
in the group, with greater resources,
in this cast the United States, to come
to it's assistance. All in all we have
done our duty toward Britain, if not
in the full amount the British asked.
At the same time, it behooves our
government and particularly our indus
trial and business leaders to see to it
that we are not outsmarted in world
trade, which ultimately is bound to re-
tuxn to normally. 4

It's been acknowledgements
aging for the future of Wilmington
to learn of the cooperation be-
tween the four main beaches here
abouts, Wrightsville, Carolina,
Wilmington, and Kure.
You've probably read elsewhere
that these beaches, along with the
Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce, are cooperating to stay
open for at least September and
| October.
This move, really started by
John Farrell, is one of a series
whereby Mr.. Farrell hopes to deve-
lop a broad program of coopera-
ton between the beaches.
Aside from the concerted effort
Of the beaches to stay open two
additional months, the next in this
series of welders will be a rather
large fish-fry with the Wilmington
Chamber playing host to represen-
tatives from Carolina, Wrights-
vile, Wilmington and Kure beach
es.
TT is our aim to try to foster
a cooperative spirit between our
beaches" Mr.. Farrell said. "And
we're having this fish-fry for the
purpose of bringing leaders from
each of the beaches. Well have
something to eat and then give
everybody present the chance to
have his say about the best meth
DDS of the continued development
of the beaches"
This all seems to me a step in
the right direction, to coin a phrase,
Certainly all beaches stand a bet
ter chance for continued improve
ment by using a spirit of coopera-
ton.
AS I understand the proposition
at the present time, leaders at all
the beaches have decided upon an
advertising program in one of the
New York newspapers. This pro-
gram will call attention to the
fact that Wilmington and its beach,
es have sunshine in a plenty right
on up to November l, and even aft
err. But certainly the beaches can
be readily used all through the
month of September.
In discussing the program, Mr..
Farrell said that the Wilmington
Chamber, in taking the lead. would

Americas Card Authority

Today's hand, from Dick Kap-
Ian of Asheville, N. c., involves
another trump coup but a varia.
ton from the one given yesterday.
Vests strong bidding led Kaplan
EasD to believe that the contract
would be safer at four spades than
at three no trump.
After winning the first trick
South continued with the ten OF
clubs. Kaplan had nothing to lose
by playing dummy's jack, and
when it held, he discarded a small
heart. A spade was led, Kaplan
won with the ace and returned a
low spade which South won with
the queen.
Now South might still hold the
king of spades, in which case
North would have only the ten,
but Kaplan decided to provide
against a bad trump break.
South led back the Jack of
hearts, dummy won with the ace
and Immediately cashed the kin
OF hearts. A small club was
ruffed and a low diamond played
to dummy's king so that the good
KING Of clubs could be ruffed.
This reduced Kaplan's trumps to
the number held by North.
The diamond queen WAS csshed
and a diamond was led 10 the
ace. North had to trump the next
trick, which allowed Kaplan to
make his jack of spades.
The purpose in this hand was
to avoid losing three trump
tricks. The nice play was in cash
ing the second heart before ruff
ing clubs, as otherwise North would
have discarded a heart.

I dropped in to talk with Lester

ago and Lester was enthusiastic.

said, rs that the first year even

1t is the hope of those behind
the stay-open-later movement to
attract people from the metropoli-

tan area to Wrightsville, Carolina,
Wilmington, and Kure beaches.
The situation as it now stacks
UP is about like this: The New
Workers, it seems, have about run
out of places to 60 for summer va
cations. According to information
that has drifted down here, most of
the beach resorts around the metro
politan area are booked solidly for
the remainder of this season.. And
those resorts close up September l.
Thus the plan to get the beach
hotels and cottages around here
to remain open for a couple OF
extra months.
Indirectly I learn from Bill
Sharpe, who heads the State News
Bureau, that general plans are be-
ing made to get North Carolina
well known through the entire
United States as a year-round re-
sort country. You've doubtless
seer in many of the national mag
azines advertisements telling of
the bountiful nature of North Caro-
lima as a place to play and work.
So far as 1 know, though, the
present concerted effort among
our beach people is the first move
to help our beaches blossom out as
partially, at least, y%ear-round re-
sorts.

That stormy petrol of revival

Such an ordeal tests character.
Lying on the cold, damp stones,

When he sent an embassy of in

Opening lead. jack of hearts.
1t is elementary in bridge logic as
elsewhere, that little equipment in
the right places is more effective
than superior forces less fortunate
ly located. So that making a final
decision in a bidding sequence fire.
quently requires asking ones self
not merely, How much have ~"
but How good is my stuff"
If quantity were the only consid-
Grafton South in today's hand would
most certainly stop short of game,
but when quality is considered he
is justified in what may super
ficially appear to be drastic over
bid. Let us review the bidding. The
first round calls for no special COM
ment, though some players may
question the propriety of South's
call OF two diamonds.
Even though he holds but one
plus honor trick he is justified in
increasing the contract because of
the length and texture of his suit.
North has choice of rebids. He
could raise his partners suit or
show his own second suit. Raising
a minor suit is much less important
as rule than showing another
major. Had the hearts and dia-
monds been reversed we would rec
ommend the other procedure.
South is now faced with a prob
lem. He is under no compulsion to
bid, even though partner named a
new suit, because that obligation
rests only on the opening bidder.
However, he disliked to leave his
partner in hearts with only two
trumps, when that call might be
based on a four card suit. He,
therefore, decided to chance a
three diamond bid which partner
could not treat as too encouraging
IN this sequence. North raised to
four diamonds and the casual play
er would say to himself, Il have
already bid more than my hand
calls for and cannot safely take any
further action. After all, have
only one plus honor trick"
However, if South will pause to
visualize partners probable holding.
he will realize that the chances of
making game in the minor suit are
not at all remote. Since North has
bid spades and hearts and support
ed diamonds, it is a moral certainty
that he has singleton club. There
is no fear of trump loser and the
queen of hearts now becomes a very
vital card, because it should GER
tainly solidify that suit.
1t is difficult to see how more than
one trick would be lost in the major
suits since partner for his strong
bidding should certainly have about
four honor tricks. South therefore
contracted for game.
The contract could be defeated if
the ace and queen of spades were
held by East, provided spade were
opened, since with any other lead
spade can be discarded on the
third heart before other operations
are started. On the combined hold
ing the play for game is excellent
