New Sanatorium

Wilmington and New Hanover
county are still feeling the benefits of
the Red Cross sanatorium, which had
to be discontinued when the Army,
after taking over Bluethenthal airfield,
extended the reservation almost to the
sanatoriunn's back door, This is shown
by the comparatively low incidence OF
tuberculosis.
The information comes from DR.. T.
David Smith, Duke University medical
school and president of the state Tuber-
culosis Association, in an address be-
fore the New Hanover Health and
tuberculosis Association, when he urg
ed that the Red Cross retreat be super
seded by another that the gains from
its operation may not be lost and spread
Of the disease, which is no respecter of
persons, be prevented. 1.-THE county
organization" he added, 'is we'll set up
for case finding and now is the oppor-
tune time for a sanatorium."
Because building materials are still
scarce an immediate start might not
be made But there is no reason why
all preliminary arrangements should
not be completed, so that when the
time comes for construction there would
be no excuse for delay.
The county government has a great
responsibility for this undertaking, in
the cause of humanity.

Authority In Question

Because there is no reason to hope
for any change in the decision of the
North Carolina High School Athletic AS
soclatlon's eligibility committee against
the New Hanover High school lin the
McKoy case, the local school has drop
ped its protest, with result that no Of
flclal recognition will be forthcoming of
the basketball teams outstanding rec
ORD, despite the undisputed fact that c..
+. Mcintosh, secretary of the associa-
ton, gave permission to Coach Brog-
den to play McKoy in the Durham
game, which precipitated the complaint.
1t is not inappropriate to ask, if
the association secretary has authority
to rule on the eligibility of a pupil to
play, and has given consent after neces-
sary questions have been satisfactorily
answered by the particular school in
this instance, New Hanover County
High school-why does the eligibility
committee reverse his ruling? The in
ference that he either lacks authority
or the eligibility committee has no con-
tldence in his decisions is measurable
Equally inescapable is the fact that
southeastern North Carolina has m
representative on the eligibility COM
mlttee, and that six members of this
committee are also members of the exc
cution committee, the only group tc
which the New Hanover High schoo,
athletic authorities could have appeal.

Notwithstanding the eligibility com
mittee's failure to support the associa

High Schools basketball team has wo1

may not be in the associations records
but the victories themselves are abov

The strike situation has come to
pretty pass. Industry which
makes the things you eat and wear
and use and read appears not to
be the only thing touched by strife.
Here is a story from St. Louis,
sent over the wires of the United
Press, which seems to me to be
the height of the sitdoWn hiatus.
Suppose you just read the United
Press story and make up your
mind about the whole business:
''With hallelujahs and hosannas
ringing, the prayerful sit-down
strike of 30 members of the Negro
House of Prayer church went
through it's fifth day Wednesday.
'The strikers have been in the
church for four days and nights,
praying all the time. They staged
the sitdown to prevent the church
owner, Prophet Harvey Ambro
Green, from locking them out.
Green said they could stay as
long as they prayed. They prayed
and stayed.
"Prophet Green was ousted as
minister of the church at a pro-
test meeting held by 85 OF the
congregations 500 members on
Feb. 4. He apparently accepted
the decision and went to California
where he is pastor of the Metro
politan Church of Prayer at Los
Angeles. :,
"The congregation then elected
the Rev. Arthur Alphonse Smith,
also of Los Angeles, as pastor. On
Feb. 9, the Pensioners petitioned
the circuit court to transfer own
ership of the church from Green
to the congregation.
when Prophet Green heard
about that he wired one of his
faithful flock to slap a paddock on

No discussion of freak hands
would be complete without the
mississippi Heart Hand" This
hand has never been authenticat-
ed and was probably made up by
some practical jokester, or pos
sibly by some dishonest gambler.
The record of it goes back to the
old Mississippi River steamboat
days and. according to the story,
it was supposed originally to have
been dealt at whist.
If it were realt today at con-
tract, suppose that South would
simply open the bidding with
seven hearts, which West would
be inclined to double. 1t looks as
though South should take every
trick, but actually he can take
only six tricks, his six high trumps.
When the king of diamonds is
opened, it has to be trumped by
South, with the nine of hearts,
Neither the ace-king-queen of
spades, nor the ace-king-queen-
JACK OF clubs will take any tricks,
as West ruffs both suits.

Russia InvOkes Veto

It was Russia that forced the veto
provisions adoption at the San Fran
cisco Security Conference. 1t is Russia
that first invokes it.
The United States delegation at the
London session of the Security Council
had proposed that negotiation, which
we may assume in this case means
meditation, be undertaken in the Leba-
non and Syria case, where British and
French troops remain over Russia's
protest.
It would seem impossible for the
Moscow government to make it's point
stick as at least three of the five powers
with veto rights-the United States,
France and Britain-will stand against
it and seven members of the Security
Council voted for the United States
proposal before Russia invoked the veto.
There can be no dispute that the
Russians are well within their rights.
but to have used the veto with the
cards obviously stacked against them
was ill advised. They have acted like a
boy with new kite who insists on try
ing it out on stormy day, without
considering that the wind will tear it
to pieces.

restlessness and questing is one of
the signs of Our time.
Heart hunger is real hunger. It
expresses itself in dissatisfaction
with the prevailing mood for ma
terial things. Homes are being
disrupted at a fearful rate. Lives
are wasting time and substance
and fineness of spirit, in night
clubs. in low-grade movies and in
sensuality.soaked literature. None
of these bring real satisfaction.
What millions of us are con-
sciously seeking is clearer knowl-
edge of God and of His will, and
the possession of spiritual peace.

Investigation

WASHINGTON lamp A

review Of lynchings, is under
consideration by President Tru-
man, it was announced in au-
thoratative sources here last
week. The idea Of the proposed
commission grew out of a re-
cent conference between the
President, Walter White, execu-
tive secretary OF NAACP and
James B. Carey Of the CLIO.
The two men reminded the
president several atrocitie S
against Negroes have occurred
recently, one of which conferred
around Isaac Woodland, EXCL
who lost his eyes as a result Of
police brutality in South Caro-
lima last February.
II am familiar with some Of
these cases. Mr. Truman said,

tally was so widespread / am
shocked and Mortified by your
report"
Tho reason behind the federal
governments inability TO deal
adequately with the lynch prob
lem is because II is hampered
by state legal barriers, he said.
The President proposed the
idea Of the presidential "emer-
! gency" commission himself
somewhat along the lines OF the

Should II come into being, the
I commission would have authori-
