Not Inevitable

y Chicago scientist. speaking at
Duke University a few evenings ag,.
declared that the next war Is no.
inevitable. IT is impossible. His
theme was Atomic Energy, and nc
jumped from this definite assertion
To another equally as startling. and
seemingly in direct contravcntion II
the former thesis. Said he, this time
we must solve the problem Of war.
fer this is our last chance" and
there will be no need 10 try t.
avoid World War w if World War
III is allowed TO happen"
In the first instance. his intima
ton, we take il, was that the human
lace cannot afford to be fool enough
10 permit another conflict, knowing
full well that il could be the end
In the second. he was seeking APP
parcntly TO get across the idea of the
unacceptable necessity of maintaining
peace.
All the world by now knows OF
The power Of atomic energy and of
its possibility of total destruction.
The only reason any nation con-
tinucS 10 toy with the thought IS
that it would hope in some manner
To get the jump on the enemy. TN
less il did. there would be little hon,
for either side. For the Chicago
scientist. Dr. Weinberg. who collabo-
rated in making the bomb at Oak
Ridge. admitted that there is "n1
conceivable techni al defense
against the bomb. That is why this
is our last chance, and why the next
war is impossible-or, in its truer
meaning, must be made impossible
Nations may be aware of the
menace in the atom. but they arc
in no hurry TO circumvcnt its de-
structive properties. That is the fall
lacy of humanity's postwar prcdica-
ment The great mass Of humanity
is not sympathetic to the course be-
ing pursued by statesmen of some
nations. The common people, which
means most of us. do not want war
They never did. They want peace
1t is their leaders who are rcspon-
siblc for the catastrophcs which en-
gulf us and which through the ages
have bcset peoples and destroyed
many Of them. Left to the over
whelming majority, there would be
no more conflicts of major character,
but enduring pecce instead.

Like Vultures

Romania's demand for rcparationS

allies, Germany and Hungary, is Il
fair example of the low estate To-
which foreign relations and internal

how the peoples of that unhappy
sector of the earth are literally sat-
uratcd with SelfiShneSS and greed.
Romania's attitude is that of the

conditions in Japan, as described by

Vote To Convert Prop

OLD FENCES TO co
Trailer Camp Families Will
Be Required To Move
By October |

A full-scale program for
converting Legion Stadium
into "a piece Of property
of county ownership"
was projected last night by
Commissioner Harry
Gardner, upon whose motion
a unanimous county board
yesterday approved an i'm
program to clean up
the vicinity of the twelve
year old arena.
Gardner expressed hope that q
new board fence could soon be
constructed between the stadium
and Carolina Beach road, that
bitches surrounding the property
be cleaned out hand hat the
whole structure be repainted.
In the meantime, Addison Hew'
lett, chairman of the county board,
announced that the commissioners
will shortly employ a team of la
borers to remove vestiges of the
decaying fence that was the CHIEF
subject of Gardner's critism o.
the stadium's appearance from
the highway yesterday morning.
Families To Move
Three workmen would be requir'
ed to clean u pthe fence rem
anents of buildings between the
stadium on Carolina Beach road,
Hewlett said.
A dozen or so families occupy
ing a temporary trailer camp
near the stadium will be required
to vacate its premises by Octobe,
/, he declared.
The board chairman pointed out
that the county has been engaged
in a general clearance of the stad-
ium property but that its program
had been delayed by the shortage
of convict labor.
The ten prisoners now available
to the county's work force are now
occupied with drainage, he declar-
ed.

NEW TB HOSPITAL
AS WAR MEMORIAL
Addison Hewlett Advo-
Gates Sanitarium To
Honor Dead

Construction Of a new Red Cross
tuberculosis s%anitarium by New
Hanover county as a memorial to
living and dead servicemen of
World War II was advocated here
last night by Addison Hewlett, Sr.,
chairman of the County Board of
Commissioners.
Material shortages would make
indefinite any prediction as to
when the county could begin cree
ton of the hospital, Hewlett de-
clared.
81 believe it is the general
thought, he said. that the county
should undertake its construction.
"The idea of a memorial which
would render a continuing service
to humanity appeals to me more
than any other I could think Of" the
veteran board chairman said.
Honor Plaque
AS envisioned by Hewlett, the
proposed sanitarium would contain
a bronze plaque listing the names
of New Hanoverians who died In
service.
