Welcome To Airmen

Between World Wal [ and II, the air
plane became a major factor in the ma
tons transportation system.
During the recent conflict, 1t reach
ed unprotected heights as a Weapon.
Now, not only has it returned to it's
pre-war transportation role but it is
coming into it's own as an instrument
of recreation. 1t is not necessary to look
far for examples of it's utilization in
the comparatively new field. Bluethen-
thai airport serves as the locale today
as more than two score planes of the
North Carolina Wing of the Civil Air
Patrol settle down for their pilots and
passengers to rush to Wrightsville
Beach for a swim, shore dinner and
boat ride. The craft will start return
ing to the air at about 8 o'clock to
wing their way ~homeward. .
1t is the largest arcade ever to call
here with many of it's members coming
from North Carolina points as far
distant as Asheville.
On the basis of arrangements made
by the Wrightsville Beach and Whining
ton Chambers of Commerce and the
Pennington Flying service, working in
cooperation with Col. Frank Dawson,
commander of the Wing, the outing
should be a highly successful one. Our
best wishes go toward that end because
it can be developed into a most advan-
tageous way for the up-stater to enjoy
the recreational benefits of Whining
toms beaches to the fullest extent. It
goes without saying that it is fine ad-
vertising for the city and it's resorts.
Each of the Wingmen, if the arcade
comes up to expectations, will become
a strong advocate of future flights here.
In extending a welcome to them to-
day, we wish to add that it is a con-
tinuous n and hope that this will be
the first of many such flights by the
Wing in future months and years.

Double Use

There goes the government, vast
ing more money" was the comment of
many who viewed the Gypsum board
houses erected In a part of Maffitt
Village to accommodate hundreds of
vitality needed shipbuilders during the
war.
Admittedly not the best Of housing,
it served it's purpose we'll, however.
Furnished, it permitted many to come
here and work without disturbing their
homes upstate.
That phase of it's usefulness has been
over for months.
Now, the task of taking them down
and shipping them to critical housing
areas is moving toward completion.
They will again be used, this time to
shelter former servicemen and their
families at numerous educational insti-
tutions.
That the housing in the Hewes and
Worth sections of the Village was not
permanent was accepted by all from
the beginning of it's construction. It
was not even classed as demountable.
It was as %expendable on the home front
as a glider in actual combat. But it is
good to see that the government is
getting fuller use of it. In doing so, it
is increasing the return of the money
spent on it.
In removing the units, it is also
graduating the potential danger of the
area becoming a slum n that would
eventually mar the residential value Of
the remainder of the Village.

LETTER BOX
Transportation Proposal

AoPoSW4
To The Editor:
I desire to make a suggestion
that I feel would be a progressive
move on the part of Wilmington
and Carolina, Wilmington and Kure
beaches. The fact that the Will
mington Star = News has always
been keenly interested and backd
anything that would benefit the
people of Wilmington ana adjoin.
ing communities, is the reason ]
have submitted same for your
views.
What I have in mind is that we
try to establish an Electric trans
portation line to operate from Will
minston to Carolina, Wilmington
and Kure beaches, modern in eve
ry detail, with up-to-date equip
ment. If all uotside corporation
could be interested in a proposition
of this kind, it could build an Elec-
trio transportation system similar
to the line that now operates from
Washington to Baltimore, via An
napolis. Md, and I feel sure it
would pay.
Carolina beach, as we all know,
has grown into an all-the year
around town and with great posi-
bilities of becoming a city in the
future, if properly developed. A
modern electric line with an under
ground trolley would furnish ade-
quate transportation to the public
at all times. There would be suffi-
cient business Cor the buses. How
ever, an electric line could also
handle freight as we'll as passenger
business from Wilmington to the
beaches and would be the means
of helping t. build up the property
between Wilmington and Carolina
Beach.
1 realize this is a big and impor-
tant proposition and could not be
built and operated right away, but
l think it is well worth working for
in the future when conditions be-
come more normal and the ex-
penditure will not be too great.

Another Fight Ahead

President Truman apparently bar
gained for more than he expected i in
that congressional race in Missouri.
Last week, his supporters hailed the
defeat of Rep. Roger C. Slaughter for
denomination in Tuesdays primary as
q sign of endorsement of administration
policies. It was the latest attempt of
a President to purge a congressman.
Rep. Slaughter had drawn the ire of
the nations Chief Executive because
of his votes against administration
measures in the House Rules committee.
According to an Associated Press
report from Washington yesterday, Re-
publicans have begun building up
steam for a determined effort to set
back the President by beating Enos
A. Axtell, his winner.
MIR. Truman told his news conference
Friday that he was making a categorical
statement when he said that Axtell
would be elected. Republicans generally
are not conceding any such result and
the party's Congressional Campaign
committee long has marked the Fifth
Missouri district as a marginal area
where a COP nominee will have a fair
chance of winning. Slaughter had de.
feated the COP candidate there by only
1880 votes in 1912, in an off-year cleo.

Big Business Dislikes Graft
Fuss; Others Want Him
AS Governor
BY FRANK VAN DER LINDEN

BY FRANK VAN DER LINDEN
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10-Comp.
troller General Lindsay Warren.
the Tar Heel Tartar" has stirred
up such a successful fuss about
waste, extravaganza and graft il
wartime government contracts
that two entirely opposite groups
of people would be extremely
pleased to see him step out of his
job.
On one hand, a big business firm
recently United the former NORTH
Carolina Congressman to accept {
position tina! would have made him
financially Independent for the
rest OF his life. but he turned il
down, feeling that it would be ''in.
compatible with his public serv
ice to accept.
On the other hand, many admir-
ers in the capital and in his home
state are urging Warren to rur
for governor in the Democratic
primary two years hence-a sug-
gestion which appeals to him
strongly although he remains dis,
creetly mum on that subject.
Warren admits he is most anx-
ious to get out of the government
service" He declined an appoint
men. as federal judge of the East
ern District of North Carolina last
year only because the war was
still on and matters of the high
est importance" were pending in
his office. He has cleared away
many of these matters" in the
past few months with accompany
ing reverberations that have caus-
ed more tnan one war contractor
and freespending government Of
fetal to quake in his boots. War
ren's testimony before the Mead
committee Investigating the Cars
son paper empire of munitions
plants was only the beginning OF
the chain OF explosions which are
making the Fentagon shake.
Throughout the war, the Comp
troller General warned army Off
GERS agains' expensive cost plus
fixed fee contracts, warning them
that a day Of reckoning would
come. He protested, also, against
too-hasty contract examinations.
Now the Chickens have come
home to roost-on shoulders sport
ing eagles and sometimes stars.
Gets Criticism
When Warren told Congress the
books of the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation were in such a
mess that 4 proper audi. under
the law could not be made. the
agency and It's former chief, Jes-
Sc Jones, rained condemnation
down upon his head. But a con-
gressional committee, after a thor
ough hearing. filed a report sus-
tanning him in every charge and
commencing him for his work.
Another House committee upheld
his report on Irregularities In the
Colonial Navigation Co. and urged
the Justice Department to act. Still
another is looking into his reports
that the records of the Maritime
Commission and the War Shipping
Administration are in a 'aeplor-
able condition.
Promotes Economy
Besides reporting more than
three hundred incidents Of I'm
provident expenditures" the
Comptroller General has testified
In favor nj several measures tn

in the government. One of these.
the Byrd : Butler Wilmington bill.

Reconsideration

Sensibly, if belatedly, President Tru-
man has ordered back from London
the special ambassador and two assis-
tants who signed the Anglo-American
report on Palestine which recommend
ed partition and made the admission of
100000 Jewish refugees from Europe
contingent upon it's acceptance. So it
is not surprising that Britain is re-
ported abandoning the plan and is pre-
pairing to drop the Palestine hot potato
in the lap of UN.
The President repeatedly did not
favor this ultimatum. It is also unlikely
that he appreciates the somewhat un-
gracious effort of B%ritain's Acting
Prime Minister Herbert Morrison to put
the entire responsibility for the plans
acceptance OF rejection on this coun-
try's doorstep.
Fortunately, it was not too late to
reconsider a proposed solution to Pale
shines troubles which appears to be
both unfair and unavoidable.

Warren appears to be a glutton

building which the Senate voted,
though. The bill received a ma
Jorit.y vote twice in the House but
lacked the % margin required un-
der suspension of the rules. The
objection concerned other provi-
sions in the bill - not the GAO

Warren's staff is housed in two
architectural relics of the Victor
ian era - the former Pensions
Building, a barn : like, red = brick
structure decorated with a frieze
of Union soldiers and rowboats:
and the gray stone Gothic tower
OF the old Postoffice Building.
Reduces Personnel
While Congress is constantly pill
ing more work on the GAO, War
rem has decreed that both its an
nual appropriation and personnel
be reduced. He hopes to trim 2,7o0
employees from the present total
of l4,700, within the next few
months in contrast to its appro-
priation Of $38. 600, 000 the GAO
paid into the treasury during the
past fiscal year more than $780,
600. C00 it had collected in back
payments Illegally made by de-
partments and agencies.
Warren did not share in the con-
gressional pay boost, and the re-
tirement act may provide OF doubt
full benefit TO him because he'd
have to pay in about a full years
salary to bring it up to date. APP

Lower CaIoric Intake
May Curb Cancers,
Physician Reports
BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Many can
GERS can be prevented by avoiding
oyereating and overweight past
middle age, or at least their appear
ance can be postponed, nutritionists
were told today.
| This report was made to the Con-
ference ON Nutrition in Relation to
Cancer by DR.. Albert Tannenbaum
of the department of cancer re-
search, Michael Reese Hospital,
Chicago.
| The prospect of reducing cancer
by diet was based, he said, on a
| review of six available insurance
statistics studies indicating that in
ldividuals who were overweight when
past middle age were more likely to
die of cancer than were persons OF
average weight.
IT. also is based, he added, on
studies of the effects of limiting the
intake of calories on cancer in mice.
This caloric restriction has been
shown to decrease the incidence Of
every type of cancer studied so far.
There are six of these cancers. The
caloric restriction also reduced the
number of cases of leukemia- blood
cancer-in mice.
DR.. Tannenbaum said not only
was there a decreased evidence Of
cancer in the restricted mice, but
the cancers that did appear, arose
at a later time in the mouses life.
The more the caloric restriction, the
greater is the cancer reduction.
The effect on the mice is to make
them smaller. But they are more
active and they live just as long-in
fact some studies indicate that they
may live a little longer than the
fulfilled mice. The average caloric
restriction to protect against cancer
is about one-third. There are, how
ever, no human studies to show what
would happen to men and women
who cut their caloric intake by one
third. 1t would take 20 to 80 years
| to make on man the studies that
can be completed on mice in two or
three years.
