So full are the newspapers of

thought it noteworthy to report the

United States.

Knight Rings The Bell

A legitimate complaint against
standardizing pay for all employees in
the same class is that whereas one
worker is efficient and deserves what
ever wages he draws another idles on
the job or is incapable of making the
average grade but must be paid as much,
John S. Knight spoke to the point in an
address to Sigma Delta CHS at their
twenty-seventh convention in CHICAGO
last week.
Mr. Knight is publisher of the Chi
cago News, the Miami Herald and other
newspapers. Naturally he turned to his
own profession for an example. "The
growing Standardization of work com

development Of future newspaper ex.

Azaleas In Every Yard

Most people wait until spring, when
azaleas are in bloom, to set the plants
out. They keep potted azaleas indoors
until the blossoms die and then put
them in the ground, thinking that they
will flourish through summer and win
ter and bloom more luxuriantly next
spring. They are mistaken. The time
to plant aZaleas is now.
The information is passed on in the
belief that Wilmingtonians, knowing
that the azalea is one of the best draw
ing cards for visitors the city has, will
want to cultivate one or more plants.
An azalea in every garden could well
be a city-wide objective. Then when the
time comes for an azalea festival and
thousands of visitors come to see them
as they go to Mobile and other cities
where the azalea has been widely cult
waited, they will find not only Greenfield
Park and Orion and Airlie and a few
home gardens ablaze with blossoms, but
find them in whatever direction they
turn their eyes.

Beginning To Feel Real
Mhationary Pinch As Prices Soar

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 25-WR-
The people of this land Of plenty,
who had all they needed to wear
or eat during the war, are now
feeling inflationary shortages that
government counter measures
have not countered.
Three months after the close of
President Juan D. Peron's battle
of sixty days" to reduce the cost
of living, prices are continuing
to mount steadily and are now
hitting the Argentines in two very
sensitive spots-food and clothing.
Rent is held down by government
control, but housewives daily find
it tougher going to make their
budget cover food and clothing
needs.
Part of the difficulties are due
to the recent two-month strike
in meat packing plants and short
ages of vegetable production
owing to an October freeze and
the locust plague. But mainly they
are due to the inflationary tend
ency the government is now COM
batting.
Typical price increases since
August are: boiled ham, from
$50 pesos a kilo to 6 pesos a kilo
drom 81 to SO cents a pound;
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-11-26

cured ham was $50 pesos a kilo
and is now Z pesos; bacon is not
available; dressed young chicken
in August cost LIS pesos a kilo,
is now $50 and hens have doubled;
bread has doubled; choice beef
is up from 100 to ESQ pesos a kilo
(about % cents a pound.
Coffee, milk and spaghetti like
wise have risen. Few potatoes are
available and while the official
price is 20 centavos a kilo, they
are $50 pesos (29 cents) a kilo
in the black market.
Cost of clothing has doubled and
in many instances tripled since
1910 and is still rising steadily.
A cheap mans suit which in 1910
costs 80 pesos $50 is now 100

Aptitude Training

Educators attending a conference at
Teachers College, Columbis University,

committee headed by Stephen M. Corey,
professor of educational psychology at
Chicago University, which recommends
the United States system of high school
and higher education be revamped To
bring out the best of a students quail
ties or a~ptitudes.
The report notes this country has paid
most attention to the exploitation of
material resources, for the most part at
the expense of human The
committees idea is that teachers should
devote more time and effort in develop-
Ing the individual capabilities of pupils.
20 hal young men and women gradu-
ates will be better fitted to take their
proper place in the adult world than if
they had merely acquired the required
amount of book learning without speci-
fic training. 1t is proposed that a COM
mission be set up to get such a pro-
gram into operation.
The report deals with a problem that
needs solution on a national basis. Local

A few years ago tournament
bridge vas considered a game for
experts only, but I predicted that
within five years every city in the
country will be conducting annual
bridge tournaments. It is the one
pastime in which both the old and
the young can compete.
Canada also has become tourna-
ment minded. Edwin H. Billiard
Of Drummondville, Quebec, started
the Drummondville Duplicate
Bridge Club four wears ago, and
now players from five different
Canadian towns participate in his
regular game.
He and Mrs. Billiard made five
diamonds doubled On today's hand.
There we're ten tables in the game,
and four of them played the hand
at four spades doubled, only n
of them making it.
At two tables it was played at
four hearts doubled, and went
down, while at the other four ta-
bles the contract was five dia-
monds doubled with three of them
down one.
If the opening neart lead is won
in dummy with the ace and a
spade led to declarer's ace, the
two losing spades can be ruffed.
Declarer loses only a diamond
and a club.
The swings on hands of this
type come in for a great deal of
discussion and help to make tour
nament bridge the interesting
game that it is.

as soldiers knew it. Sweepers in
factories got $50 a week and buns
of both sexes loafed, shot craps
and snoozed in quiet corners of
ships abuilding in the yards on both
seacoasts at fantastic wages. More
over, Eisenhour could have stabbed
a finger at Walter Reuther. of the
United Auto Workers, and said,
there is the boss Of a union
which s%abotaged national defense
at Allis-Chalmers and North Amer
lean Aviation in a pro-Hitler con-
spiracy with Stain and the Ameri-
can communists right down to
Pearl Harbor."
An undignified performance any
way you take it and I hope a mere
misadventure and not a true indi-
cation of the character of General
Eisenhour. But if it is, this is a
good time to get a line on him.

This statement will stand scru-

Byrd On Labor Situation

Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia
is not only an outspoken citizen. His
thinking is singularly straight. What
he has to say about the labor situation,
with particular reference to the coal
strike John L. Lewis ordered as the ma
ton faces what promises to be a severe
winter is we'll worth bordering.
Mr.. Byrd issued a statement to the
nations press last week. AS it did not
reach this office until yesterday, when
Lewis was in court to answer a contempt
citation the Star here quotes several
pertinent paragraphs.
Says Mr.. BYRD:
"At the beginning, MI. Lewis struck
every two years, then every year, and
now he is striking twice in one year.
The situation is intolerable and men
aces the very stability and foundation
of our institutions. Can one mar con-
tinue to coerce and intimidate the gov
eminent of the United States? Another
surrender to Lewis merely postpones
the day of reckoning, as each victory
encourages him to make new and
greater demands in his Unsuitable grasp
for power. To yield to Lewis now means
another epidemic Of national strikes.
We must come to grips with these ruth
less and powerful labor leaders sooner
or later, and further appeasement mere
ly adds to the distress of the inevitable
showdown.
"The coal miners are entitled to fair
compensation and just treatment but
the American people cannot permit
themselves to be held up at the point
of a gun every few months.
"The President and the Congress
have talked too much about the rights
of labor and too little about the re-
sponsibilities of labor. This nation can
not permit a strike against the Govern
ment which threatens the very exist
ence of 142 million people.
Never has a clearer case of a direct
strike against the Government been
presented. For six months the Federal
has been operating all the
coal mines. It has assumed
the authority and taken the place of the
owners. Already it has granted increases
IN operating costs which the mine own
claim prevents the profitable 3D.
of the mines. Additional cost
mean that the owners will re-
fuse to take back their properties. re-
sultlng in the naturalization of the
coal mines. This inevitably would be
followed by Matchmaking the railroads
and other public utilities. Thus Ameri-
will have taken a vital step toward
State Socialism and a reputation of
democratic institutions upon which
our country was founded. It is not un-
likely that this is what Lewis wants.
AS a Democrat I want to say frank
~ that, in my judgment, the greatest
single factor in the recent overwhelm-
Ing defeat of my party was the belief
the part of millions of Americans
u government had yielded so
much power to great labor leaders as to
oulld up a labor dictatorship which
seriously menaces our future. The re-
suit of the election was a mandate from
the American people to deal firmly and
boldly with these influences that threat
our American way of life"
