1--WE went into Dusseldorf ahead
of the tactical troops" Lieutenant
Schneider tells you. 'There we
found a city of 500, 900 completely
without utilities. 1t was our job
to bring lights, water, and sewer
service back to the city. We went
in with only 10 officers"

Dusseldorf, Lieutenant Schneider

put the book in his foot locker.
The foot locker came here to
Wilmington a few days ago.
Now, the lieutenant has a book
of pictures that, if Harz' fright

be priceless.
Lieutenant Schneider is inves-

death would probably be mercl'

Good News

on Page 1 as in it's yesterdays issue.
There is the prospect that the Navy

been an unwanted step-child of the gov

craft training period ended.
Bluethenthal airfield is in for pros
porous continuance.
The telephone strike is called off.
President Truman is expected to
prevent the railroad strike.

Manchurian Loot

A Chinese Foreign Office spokesman
denies his country's connivance with or
consent to Russia's spoiliation of Jap
anese factories in Manchuria. He adds
that Chinese plenipotentiaries during
wartime negotiations with Russia made
no commitments whereby the Soviet
Union would have the right to take
over or remove Japanese industrial
properties" in the aforesaid land of
trouble.
His testimony adds strength to the
increasing belief, whether right or
wrong, that Russia entered the Pacific
war in it's final stage for the loot it
might secure.
The present discussion of this loot
ing which has been occupying more and
more space in the news daily of late
is chiefly interesting because it is so
belated. The fact that Russian forces.
retreating slowly toward Siberia were
carting off all machinery and all other
property they could move was announc-
ed months ago.
Why so little was said about it then,
and so much now, is not easily deter
mined, unless it be that at the first the
other Allies, particularly the United
States, were inclined to appease Russia
and only now see their folly.

much in the manner Aunt Susie

Hitler, in the old age he didn't

When, after many months OF
traipsing around after Hitler from
the Reichschancellory in Berlin to

JUST FOR PREACHERS
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Apparently, the general public is
ahead of the preachers in the I'm.
derstanding of the present crisis.
Plain thinking people seem to have
come generally to the conclusion
that the settlement of the atomic
bomb issue, and all that it implies
is really spiritual problem, with
its roots in the heart-purposes of
people generally. An amazing mum.
Der of laymen - scientists, bust
ness men, professors and editors
are pointing this out. and calling
for spiritual awakening.
But the preachers, as a whole
whose voice should be first and
clearest, are strangely silent, Thew
are still preaching on side-issues
Where is the pulpit voice that in
clarion tones is challenging the
people to face the present crisis
from the standpoint of Gods clear
will?
How is the public to be made to
realize that there is a greater
Power than the atomic bomb pres
ent in the universe today? To know
the will of the Almighty, and to
do it, is the worlds greatest need
today. And we must look to the
pulpit for the enforcement in real
life Of the Power that is above all
powers.
Give vision and utterance, o
Lord, to Thy servants to whom the
world turns for instruction and
guidance. May they assure the
leadership In a great awakening
and a great realization Of Thee
Amen.

Many players are using the weak
two-bid, an original bid Of two clubs
which is forcing. AS a result some
unusual situations occur, such as
the one Lee Hazen, Of New York,
ran into with today's hand.
I doubt if many players would
have passed North's bid of six
clubs; but Hazen realized that his
partner probably had the same
kind of a club suit as he had in
diamonds.
If he bid higher in diamonds, he
might find that he could never get
into his partners hand to get rid
OF his losing hearts and spade,
while the ace of spades and ace
OF hearts would be valuable entry
cards to cash the diamonds. There
fore, when North bid six clubs,
Hazen passed. and played and
made six clubs without club in
his hand.

Airport Program


Wilmington's opportunity to become
a vital and exceptionally important cen
ter of the aviation industry, a terminal
for major airlines and destination for
filters operating their own planes took
Ia long step forward on Wednesday
when the Board of County Commission
ers and the Aviation Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce created an Air
port Authority, named the members
thereof and Immediately set about find
ing a manager of wide experience to
administer the business of the Sill
100000 Bluethenthal airfield.
The five members of the Authority
Albert Perry, Hamilton Hicks, County
Commissioner Harry Gardner, Hargrove
Bellamy and Lenox Cooper Mr..
Perry as chairman, are well fitted for
the duties they will assume through
their business connections or previous
experience in aviation.
And as the prospect is good for ap-
plications from airlines in addition to
National, which is already landing it's
planes here daily, there is no reason to
fear that business for the airport will
be lacking. John H. Farrell, executive
secretary and industrial agent of the
Chamber Of Commerce, has announced
that Pennsylvania Central and Eastern
Airlines are looking to the Civil Aero
nautics Board for routes via Whining
ton. In addition, an aggressive manager
with farflung contacts will not be long
in getting many private planes routed
this way.
Certainly the people of Wilmington,
who have feared the great plant the
Army expended so much money upon
in the emergency Of war would become
the equivalent of a deserted village,
have reason to be grateful that the
postwar opportunity at the field is to
be taken advantage of promptly and
efficiently. It is not amiss, however,
to note that to large extent plans thus
far developed are chiefly concerned
with coastal and eastern transporta-
ton. It would be grave oversight to
neglect the possibility of having Will
mington become the eastern terminus
of transcontinental line.
Geographically Wilmington is ad
mirably situated for this purpose. With
la slight dip southwark at this end
transport planes could travel to and
from San Diego or Los Angeles ap-
proximately on the route of the Old
Spanish Trail, which skirts the south
ern border, passes through no high
mountain ranges, is far from the ice
belt and may be used, save for OCCASION
al climatic disturbances, twelve months
of the year. With changes here to
northbound planes, passengers could
reach Washington, New York, Boston
in short order.
What a chance this offers the
Transcontinental Western Airlines, for
example, for year-round travel, with
the dangers of storm and fog-ridden
mountain peaks minimized.
Furthermore, pilots are of one mind
that the Wilmington airport stands
OUT literally, for the general absence
OF ground fog, which so often jeop-
ardlzes landings at many fields.
