For A Winter Resort

Now that the City Council has set
up a fund for development of Green
field Park and the dream of an azalea
festival is catching the popular fancy,
it is not amiss to carry the dreaming
into another project that would place
this area on the year-around resort
calendar in a big way.
There is some high land near the
lakefront beyond the city's property
line which is admirably situated for a
tourist hotel. Beyond is fine acreage
for a golf course. Around this is pine
acreage which would be the finest pos
sible route for a bride path. Tennis
courts, of course, could be a part of the
hotel property.
1t would cost scads of money. With
adequate promotion, and the possibility
Of attracting one of the major winter
golf tournaments, it would also pay divi-
dends.
The land is here. The capital is here.
Successful hotel operators are available.
With the three brought together Will
mington could easily vie with Aiken
and other southern winter resorts, and
outstep several because of it's better
winter climate. There would also be the
added advantage of winter deep-sea
fishing.
It may sound like too great a ven
ture. Certainly it is not In the custo-
mary conservative pattern. But it is
worth while to consider that only those
who venture greatly, greatly succeed.

Strong Army Needed

Time was when the United States
found a standing Army of $4,000 men
sufficient for security purposes. Then
the two oceans and Gulf of Mexico,
coupled with the open Canadian frontier,
afforded protection against foreign at
tack. No Navy could approach our
shores and lombard our cities or land
armed forces with any hope of ultimate
success.
But that wa before the airplane had
become a highly developed weapon of
war or buzz bombs had attained their
present efficiency, and particularly be-
fore the atomic bomb era. Such an
army could be wiped out today by a
single atomic attack, if it were foolish
ly assembled at a single point.
The world situation has changed 50
greatly as a result of the advance in
destructiveness developed during World
Wal Ii that this country's safety can
not be assured by a military force, in
all branches, weaker than that of anv
other nation.
General Jacob L. Devers is right
in demanding that the United States
maintain an Army strong enough to
back up our diplomats and carry out
our commitments at home and abroad.
Addressing the Ninth Infantry Division.
which he formerly commanded, at the
closing banquet of the groups two-day
convention in New York, he cited Gen.
eral Elsenhower's figures, 100000, for
an Army and Air Force, and by adding
that the National Guard and Reserve
Corps is being reactivated, left the in
ference that a force of this size would
be, in the Chief of Staff's opinion. suf-
flclent even in these troubled peace
times.
In comparison with the millions of
men Russia is holding under arms, Gen.
eral Eisenhower's estimate seems small
indeed. It can indicate either of two
conditions: that the rumors of another
war are exaggerations, or that, as has
always been the case, the manhood Of
the nation has never failed to flock to
the colors at any threat to the national

BRIDGE

Americas Card Authority

During the war many members
of the American Contract Bridge
League not only helped in the
Leagues war activities but I'M
dertook other responsibilities of
their own. Many of them are con-
tlnuing their work in these en-
beavers. At Memorial Cancer
Center in New York the other day
| found Mrs. S. w. Peck working
in the clinic. Mrs. Peck is a men,
Der of u A.C.B.L. Children's
Fund Committee for the fight
against cancer in children.
She has always been a spirited
bidder and in a recent game at
the Regency Club she found her
self in a six spade contract with
today's hand. If you do not look
at the East and West hands it
seems impossible to make this
contract.
The opening lead was won in
dummy with the ace of hearts
and a small heart ruffed with the
four of spades. A small club was
played to the jack and dummy's
last heart ruffed.
Mrs. Peck then cashed the ace
and king of diamonds and the ace
of clubs. The queen of clubs was
overtaken in dummy with the
king and a small spade was led.
East had to win and had no dia-
mond to return. No matter what
he led, Mrs. Peck would trump
and discard dummy's losing dia-
mond.
While this contract looks like
an almost impossible one to
make, there is no question that
the slam should be bid There are
enough high cards to justify it.
and remember that if you make
every slam you bid, you are not
bidding enough slams.

It seemed to me that I had quit
any claim I might have had on
entomology when I formally re-
signed as Mosquito Editor of The
Star in yesterdays issue. I had
held the title only for a day IN
order to give public u%tterance to
a note that had been mailed me by
a letter-writer who wanted me tn
get around to City Manager Ber-
son and ask him to do something
about the mosquitoes hereabouts.
In the screed I mentioned that
l was miffed because the ALONG
THE CAPE FEAR man was the
Old Money Editor and that his
faithful followers were spraying
him with coin and musty old bills
upon which he could feast his eyes
with great glee even if he could
coax none of it to stick with him.
Yet, 1 was forced, reluctantly I
can assure you, to become the
Mosquito Editor which has no COM
pensations soever as far as l can
see. Certainly there is nothing 60 I'd
about looking at a swarm Of mos
quitoes.
Therefore, my resignation.
But, no. One is not permitted to
resign so easily from such a post.
And I get the following rcte in
here yesterday to prove it IS I'M
possible to quit the job:
"1 have just finished reading
your article on mosquito control,
or, 1 should say, %non-control for
most a%ssuredly they are bad things
to get rid of.

mosquitoes around the place.

Truman VS.. Slaughter

National interest is today focused
on the congressional primary election
in the fifth Missouri district where
Representative Roger Slaughter is a
candidate for denomination.
President Truman, home to vote in
the fourth district, recently voiced
strong opposition to Mr.. Slaughter on
the ground that as a member of the
House Rules Committee he had fought
much legislation desired by the Chief
Executive. Mr.. Truman's man is Enos
Axtell.
Yesterday Mr.. Slaughter said he was
prepared to fight it out, and let the
"chips fall where they will" He declar-
ed he had fought the CLIO Political Ac-
ton Committee in the House, and would
continue to do so, Including the legisla-
ton which it demands"
Naturally, the result of this primary
will be accepted as a political index to
the Presidents strength In his home
state. He took a long chance when he
voiced his opinion of the candidate he
opposes. A defeat in a congressional
ballot could well prove the turning point
against him in the country, and as he
has steadily lost popular support since
the honeymoon" following his move
into the White House ended, give the
opposition an opening wedge in the
presidential election in 1913.
The only obvious conclusion at this
time is that Mr.. Truman considered his

how to control these little crea-
lures. Go home at night, take your
bath, put your night clothes on and
just at sunset-not afterward- 90

spray them good with kerosene
and you may rest peacefully 80.

cerned-no bite tonight"
Harking back to some mention
of anonymous letters herein some
time back, this writer signs his
name "a Reader of The STAR.
But he also gives his correct name.

Religion
DayByDay
THE LOST TEN TRIBES
BY L T. ELLIS

OF late I have run frequently
into the curious religious aberra-
ton called the "Anglo-Israel" idea,
which believes that Anglo-Saxons
are the lost ten tribes which did
not return from the exile but SIM
ply stayed on in Babylonia, and
are there to this day, as l have
seen, and as the Grand Rabbi Of
Bagdad and his council officially
informed me.
It is not the ELost Ten Tribes
that are the point of this medita-
ton, but the vagueness of the
speech and thought of many VINO
are quoting Jesus and the Bible
as their authority for strange
teachings. The condition is a chai-
lenge to know the Bible better.
Our Father, we seek forgiveness
four our neglect of the word of
revelation which Thou hast given
us. May it be the man of our
c%ounsels when teachers of strange
creeds would lead Us astray.
Amen.

is correct in saying that we must have
a sufficient armed force to meet any
emergency.

strictly on it's merits which is all
right with them, I am sure because
they want intelligent and critical
members. Other intelligent and cri-
teal veterans naturally will want
nothing to do with most of their
program.

mental points agreed upon and the
four points which are herewith de-
cided constitute total of IL basic
principles that should form the
framework of the program for inte-
grafton.
There is no desire or intention to
affect adversely the integrity of any
of the services. They should per-
form their separate functions under
the unifying direction, authority
and control of the Secretary of Na-
tlonal Defense. The internal adj
ministration of the three services
should be preserved in order that
the high morale and esprit de corps
of each service can be retained.
1t was gratifying to have both of
you and Gen. Eisenhower and Ad-
miral Nimitz assure me that you
would all give your whole hearted
support to plan of unification no
matter what the decision would be
on those points upon which you did
not fully agree. I know that can
count upon all of you for full as
sistance in obtaining passage in the
Congress of bill containing the II
basic elements set forth above.

for the strategic direction of
the United States military forces.
g. NO SINGLE MILITARY CHIEF
OF STAFF.
In the opinion of the War De-
partment, the military establish
ment should contain I single mill
tary chief of staff, who would serve
as principal military adviser. avail
able to offer advice when differences
of opinion arise among the mill
tary heads of the several services.
The Navy feels that the Joint Chiefs
of Staff should be the highest source
of military advice. The War De-
partment is willing to omit the
feature of a single chief Of staff.
9. CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
AGENCY.
To compile, analyze and evaluate
information gathered by various
Government agencies, including the
military, and to furnish such in
formation to the National Defense
Council and to other Government
agencies entitled thereto 1t should
operate under the council. An Or
ganization along these lines. estab-
lished by executive order, already
exists.
10. PROCUREMENT AND SUPPLY
There should be an agency to pre-
vent wasteful competition in the
field of military supply and pro-
curement through joint planning
and coordination of procurement,
production and distribution.
II. RESEARCH AGENCIES.
There should be an agency to CO.
ordinate the scientific research and
development of the military serv-
ices.
IL. MILITARY EDUCATION AND
TRAINING.
There should be an agency to re-
view periodically the several sys-
TENS of education and training of
personnel of the military services
and to adjust them into an inte-
grated program.
A plan of unifcation containing
these II elements has my unquali-
fed Endorsement. The Secretary of
War, the Secretary of the Navy,
the Chief of Staff of the Army and
the Chief of Naval Operations have
assured me that they will support
such a plan.
It is my hope that the Congress

I would be member of the cabinet.
Each Of the services would be
headed by civilian with the title
OF Secretary" These secretaries
would be charged with the internal
administration within their own
services. They would not be men,
bers of the cabinet. Each service
would retain It's autonomy, subject
OF course to the authority and over
all control by the Secretary of Ma
tlonal Defense. 1t is recognized
that the services have different
functions and different organiza-
lions and for these reasons the in
tegrity OF each service should be
retained. The civilian secretaries
OF the services would be members
OF the Council of Common Defense
and in this capacity they would
have the further opportunity to
represent their respective services
to the fullest extent.
2. THREE CO-ORDINATED
SERVICES.
There should be three coordinate
iservlces-the Army, Navy and Air
Force. The three services should
be on parity and should operate
in common purpose toward over
all efficiency of the national de-
Tense under the control and
supervision Of the Secretary of Ma
tional Defense. The secretaries of
the three services should be known
as Secretary for the Army, Secre-
tary for the Navy, and Secretary for
the Air Force.
3. AVIATION.
The Air Force shall have the re-
sponsibility for the development,
procurement, maintenance and op-
Grafton of the military air resources
of the United States with the fol-
lowing exceptions, in which .respon-
sibility must be vested in the Navy:
Cd Ship, carrier and water-based
aircraft essential to naval opera
tons, and aircraft of the United
States Marine Corps.
90 Land-type aircraft necessary
for essential internal administra-
ton and for air transport over
routes of sole interest to naval
forces and where the requirements
cannot be met by normal air trans
port facilities.
go Land-type aircraft necessary
for the training of personnel for
the aforementioned purposes.
Land-based planes for naval re-
connaissance. antisubmarine war
fare and protection of shipping can
and should be manned by Air Force
personnel, If the three services are
to work as team there must be
close cooperation, with interchange
of personnel and special training
for specific duties.
Within its proper sphere of opera
ton, naval aviation must not be re-
stricted, but must be given every
