WASHINGTON, May Is, 1916.
Pointing out that Sen. B. K.
Wheeler has used "his great nat
ural endowments and fighting
spirit at all times as cham
pion of the farmer, wage Garner
and the independent business
and professional man, Sena-
tor Robert M. LaFollette Jr.,
Wisconsin's great progressive,
recently gave Montana's noted
solon one of the strongest en-
dorsements ever received by a
man in public life from a col
league.
After recounting his long as
ISOLATION with Senator Wheeler,
which began when the Wiscon-
sin man was secretary to his
famous father and which has
continued in the senate cham
bers, Senator LaFollette stated:
To-day democracy is under at
tack both at home and abroad.
| know of no man in the senate
who exceeds Senator Wheeler in
his devotion to the democratic
tradition as expressed in the
Constitution, it's Bill of Rights
and the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. His great overriding OBJ
iective during his years of pub
lie service has been to translate
these ideals into reality into the
lives of the people of his state
and nation"
Throughout his long and dis
tinguished career in the senate,
Senator Wheeler has always
been the champion of the farm
er, the wage Garner, and the in
dependent business and profess
sional man and woman" Senator
LaFollette declared. HE has
used his great natural endow-
ments and fighting spirit in their
behalf in every legislative bat
tie in the senate and out of it.
Because of his seniority, he has
been for many years chairman
of the powerful Interstate Com
merce committee OF the senate.
He has a position of prestige,
power and influence in the SEN
ate which only long years of
service and great ability can at
tain for any man in that body"
Senator LaFollette concluded
his remarkable tribute to the
Montana senator nv urging his
reelection. "On the basis of his
splendid record, his great abil-
ity, his fighting courage and his
indomitable spirit, l trust that
the people Of Montana will send
him back to the senate by a
smashing majority" he said.

Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2o.-NEA)-
Here are some questions from vet
Grams regarding the change in Ma
tioaal Service Life Insurance made
recently:
Q-I have not gotten along well
with my brother since we were
children. I am not married. and
aside from my brother my mother
is the emily living relative l have.
My mother is the beneficiary of
my government insurance. If I
should die and my mother got all
my insurance. would my brother
get that money after my mothers
death?
A-Under the present law as al
tered by a recent amendment, you
can name any person you wish as
either primary or contingent bene-
ficiary. If your mother dies, and
then you die, before you get a
chance to change your beneficiary,
the insurance will go into your es-

must be forthcoming if the band is to
make a showing as creditable as that of
other high school bands in the principal
cities of the state.
Without them the band will be only
partially uniformed, and civilian raj
ment, however attractive under other
circumstances, is out of place in a mill
tary band.
Nor is the lack of uniforms for all
players the only pressing need. There
is a thousand-dollar debt outstanding
on uniforms previously purchased. In
planning to secure additional uniforms
the meeting of this obligation must be
taken into consideration.
In the past band members raised
quite a fund by soliciting magazine sub
scriptions. This was supplemented with
some voluntary money gifts. But both
sources failed to meet the entire cost
and so now, with the problem of secur-
ing money for additional uniforms, the
members face a doubly difficult task.
Wilmingtonians have reason to be
proud of their r. o. T. C. band which
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-10-21

responds to every demand for it's serv-
ices, often at considerable sacrifice to
the members.
In the present emergency the best
way the people of this city can show
their appreciation of these willing serv-
ices is to support any effort the band
puts forth both to discharge it's debt and
to pay for the required uniforms.

ion. This drew protests from Nor
way, Australia and Britain. Japa-
nese officials estimated thousands
of tons of edible oil and meat would
thus be added to the national lar
der.
The report noted that coastw.se
shipping increased and that pu--
cha sing missions came from Burma
and Hong Kong to obtain textiles.
Other japanese exports included
timber to China, coal to Hong Kong,
coal, asphalt and iron pyrites to
Korea, and lead, rubber, Tin and
raw silk to the United States.
Besides food, imports included
salt, oil, graphite, cotton and phos-
pilates.

custody nearly $685., 600, 900 worth
of gold, silver and platinum.

Is This The Last?

Just what do the people of the world
think when they read reports to the
effect that some of the principal mili-
tary and political leaders believe that
a third World War is as inevitable as
the rising and setting of the sun?
Here at home, we read that our arm
ed forces are vigorously pushing the
development of new weapons of un-
imaginable destructive force-includino
some that may prove to be more mill
tarily effective than the atomic bomb
This is, of course, the plain duty of orr
military chiefs. They must prepare for
the worst, and as rapidly as thew can.
And in the meantime, some of the ma
tons seem to be doing everything DOS
slble to make certain that those weap-
ons will be used, and soon.
At the end of World War I. there
was much talk of "the lost generation"
The problem at the end of World War
ii seems to be whether or not this shall
be "the last generation" If we once
more permit the world to resort to
force of arms, no nation and no indi-
vidual will escape the awful conse-
quences.

Accidents In Slow Motion

Usually auto-bicycle accidents happen
SO fast it is next to impossible to deter
mine Just what causes them. They are
generally attributed to carelessness-
either the drivers or the riders.
One man in Wilmington has made a
thorough study of them. He is Captain
John Davis, for years head of the police
traffic squad, now in retirement. Dur
ing the novel exhibition scheduled for
November 2 at the Legion Stadium
Captain Davis proposes to demonstrate
the principle causes Of these accidents
in slow motion. He will use an automo-
bile and a bicycle and put them through
the motions that create hazards OF acct
dent and accidents themselves, at a
SnaiPs pace so that every move may be
seen and no lives endangered, at the
same time explaining, as he does so
we'll, what motor vehicle drivers and
bike riders should do to avoid collision.
Through mis- many years of active
service with the Police department,
Captain Davis has had much experience
IN this phase of traffic and has a fine
talent for making his deductions under
~standable for the youngest cyclist as
well as the oldest motorist. Since his
retirement, as we'll as during much of
his police service, he has devoted con-
siderable time to lecturing al the public
schools for the instruction of the pupils.
The demonstrations he plans to give
at Legion Stadium will be capable of
improving the safety situation and
should attract parents of school children
as we'll as pupils.
In assuming the sponsorship of the
event, the Wilmington Kiwanis Club
accepted on opportunity to perform a
valuable public service.

"SHE TALK AWAY"
BIZ T, ELLIS

There is an amusing old story
about the origin of the name Chau-
tauqua. An Indian who lived on
what is now Lake Chautauqua had
an over-talkative wife. So one
Autumn, as he set out on his sea-
sons hunting, he strung her up by
the neck on a tree by the lake.
Months later. he returned, and
there hung the skeleton. And the
wind, soughing and whistling and
murmuring through the bones,
made the old familiar sounds.
Shaking his head despondently. the
Indian turned away, saying, "She
talk away! She talk away!"
If an ungallant comment upon
the Sex as a whole may be per-
mitted it would be that too many
women talk too much about too lit
tie. There are abundant and glor-
:ous exceptions to that g%eneraliza-
ton; and certainly no informed
man would willingly see the silly,
smart and sophisticated" chatter
of cocktail circles substituted for
the homely talk about everyday
folk and things which mark the
conversation Of plain people. But
the temptation to gossip and to re-
tell unimportant trivia is a social
sin Of myrisds.
"Let your speech always be gra-
cious, seasoned with salt" is the
Bibles injunction against insipid
talk. Again the Book says Let

Views On Byrnes Broadcast

Views On Byrnes Broadcast
Secretary of State Byrnes' position,
as revealed in his radio address, has
been discussed in these columns. 1t IS
appropriate that the views of other
persons on Mr.. Byrnes' views be record
ed also. This is the more j%ustlflable
on the ground that no public utterance
by a high United States official has
more clearly or definitely defined this
nations attitude on the distressing
state of world affairs.
Mr.. Byrnes laid down the broad
principles of our foreign policy both as
to our relations with other nations and
our hopes for the establishment OF
peace on earth and good will among men.
He made it very clear that we and all
other peoples have nothing to fear but
fear, as President Roosevelt declared
in the early days of his dynasty.
The chief soul note in the comment
on Mr.. Byrnes' broadcast comes from
Henry Wallace, who said he is more
certain than ever that we must adopt
a real American foreign policy" This
is in keeping with the Wallace idea that
he alone is capable of drafting a "real'
foreign policy for the United States.
On the other hand, Representative
Gordon of Illinois asserted the views
voiced in the broadcast are a definite
step forward for unity of all nations. 1t
is a program that will result in fair
play and justice to all" And Representa-
tive Emily Taft Dougles said she is
Thoroughly in sympathy with such a
constructive appeal" She believes, she
added, that it will "clear present ten
sion"
Even Senator Pepper of Florida, who
usually goes along with Wallace in most
of his radical views, declared:
1.-THE statement of Secretary Byrnes
puts forward the position of our
delegation at Paris and of our official
foreign policy.
II share with Secretary Byrnes the
ernest hope he expresses that we shall
gain better understanding of one an
"The pressing problem facing US all
is how the big nations of the world can
regain and continue the unity and con-
fidence in one another which gave W
the great victory We won in the war"
Senator Lucas believes the speech
will be very displeasing to the isola-
ZIONIST republican leadership" but "the
IS per cent of the American people who
are firmly behind the foreign policy of
Secretary Byrnes will applaud it."
Senator Thomas of Utah believes
Secretary Byrnes' sincerity and desire
to bring about a decent .,eace impresses
everyone"
This, from Senator LaFollette: "The
Secretary of State vigorously espoused
the cause of a Just and democratic peace
for which he and Senators C%onnally and
Vandenberg labored at Paris"
And Representative Sol Bloom says
what was done in Paris will have "full
results for peace and security"
How the Russians will react doubtless
will become known when the foreign
ministers assemble in New York.
