Fifty-Fifty Break

With the Congress preparing to ad-
journ and little chance of additional
must" legislation being enacted, Presi-
dent Truman seems to have come out
fairly well on Observation-Disclosures
measures.
At least he has had a fifty-fifty
break. Of thirty-four bills sought or
backed by the Chief Executive, seven
teen have been passed in part or in
full. The other seventeen have gone
against the administration.
AS cited by the New York Times,
the Presidents successes have been
the British loan, two of three Govern
ment reorganization plans, amendment
of administration of wal surplus dis
posal, extension of Second War Powers
Act, Veterans Housing Program, ex-
tension of OPA, extension of Selective
Service, establishment of a civilian
atomic control commission, action in
creasing Congressional salaries and
raising pay of Federal employees, further
UNRRA appropriations, airport con-
.struction legislation, bill for sale of sur
plus ships, stockpiling of strategic
materials, maximum "full' employment
bill, and revision of the CT Bill of
Rights.

A Fine Edition

The Whiteville News-Reporter is to

geographically the edition is note
worthy. It's reading matter constitutes
a veritable reference library on Column

The illustrations are clearly printed and
instructive.
While it is dedicated to the princi-
pal crop of the area-tobacco- it is
noted that only a small portion of Co
lumbus county's rich agricultural pos
sibilities have been developed, and thai

A State Project

One feature of the public hearing
before Col. George W. Gillette, Army
district engineer, on a thir~ty-five-foot
channel for the Cape Fear, is the en-
dorsement by industries and commerce
throughout the state. Recon-
mendations were so many and so en-
phatic from production areas at a dis
lance from Wilmington that the pro-
posal can be appraised only as a state
project.
While Wilmington would benefit as
the main port affected, there IS no
part of the state that would not gain
material advantages.
How ~favorably the proposal is viewed
elsewhere is to be seen in the TACT
a dozen or more chambers of commerce
in upstate cities offered favorable evil
dence. Four of the larger North Caro-
lima textile companies are pledged to
direct their shipping through Whining
ton if the deeper channel is realized.
1t is a matter of business, not merely
sentiment, with them. Shipping through
Wilmington would mean a $400,00O
yearly saving on the 1900 tons of
materials they would have to trans
port.
In addition to these industries, Felix
Grissette, director of the North Caro-
lima Planning Board, declared the de-
cision of many heavy industries to es-
tablish plants in North Carolina hinges
upon the deeper channel.
Petroleum companies are particular
ly interested in having deeper water for
their larger tankers, in the use of which
their Wilmington terminals would be
enabled to distribute a heavier volume
of petroleum over a larger territory
than ever before.
With the completion of port facili-
ties contemplated by the State Ports
Authority, w. O. Huske, the Authori-
tvs secretary, testified the deeper chan
mel would bring at least 100000 tons
more freight to Wilmington, which, by
all accounts, is a conservative estimate.
1t is not surprising, then, that the
engineers executive officer, T. ]. Hew-
lit, declared after the hearing that the
project will have top priority, or that
Senators Bailey and Hoey and Repre-
sentative Clark stand firmly behind it,
and will use the full power of the off,
cial influence to get the necessary ap-
preparation for it's completion.

Reynolds Gift Accepted

Thought of moving Wake Forest COL
lege from it's present location probably
is as grievous to some alumni as the
loss of an old and especially dear
friend, but this was certainly not the
view of a great majority of the North
Carolina State Baptist Convention,
meeting in Greensboro to determine
whether to accept the z. Smith Reynolds
Foundation $40, $50, 900 endowment with
it's proviso that the school should be re-
established in Winston-Salem. The vote
of the convention was overwhelmingly
for the change.
The fact is that Wake Forest is al
ready identified with Winston-Salem,
where it's medical school is situated. It
is obvious that the Reynolds gift will
enable the school to expand it's train
ing and activities. But little magma
ton is needed to envision Wake Forest
in time becoming one Of the South's
leading denominational seats of higher
learning.
What to do with the present COL
lege plant is still to be decided, but
it is to be noted that in it's resolution
Of acceptance the Baptist Convention
through it's board of trustees will con-
tinue in control and authority of the
school. Furthermore, and for the solace
vf those who, for sentimental reasons,
regret the removal, it is also specified
that the name-Wake Forests not
to be changed. Thus the tradition which
clings to the name continues, in con.
trast with North Carolina's old and be.

other endowment became Duke univer

TOP o. THE MORNING
Real Hospitality

: It would be hard indeed to give too
much praise to Carolina Beach off,
Gals, business firms and Junior Cham
her of Commerce for their e%xtraordl-
nary hospitality to the twenty-five
Young women winners of beauty con-
tests.
It is not merely a welcoming hand
and a broad smile. The literal freedom
of the resort-hotel accommodations,
meals, soft drinks, beach concessions,
taxi trips, together with an almost
continuous round of special entertain
ment features-is theirs.
The people of Carolina Beach are
paying all bills, which may amount to
two or three thousand dollars.
We have heard of many goodwill
projects, but none that exceeds this in
generosity. And you may be sure that
as widely as the acquaintance of these
young women extends, the praises of
Carolina Beach will be sung for many
a moor to come.
Certainly the resort has made last
ing friends of these special guests and
if we know anything of the missionary
spirit prevailing among the group,
friends of their families and intimates
too.
The gesture on the part of the far
seeing people of Carolina Beach is tops.

Those Anonymous Little Billet Doux
Neper Make Their Way To The Papers

There are those, Of course, who
do not care for whatever publicity
attaches in having their names
appear in the public prints. Be
cause editors understand that they
are perfectly willing to print letters
with initials or even an assumed
name appearing at the bottom
thereof. The only thought, on the
part of the editors, is to under
stand the good faith of the letter
writer's by insisting that they, the
editors, know the actual names OF
the letter writers. And, in case
the writer's wish it SO, the editors
will guard with sacred secrecy
those names.
In the particular note the Boss
turned over to me the anonymous
writer found a great deal of fault
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-08-01
BY JOHN SKIES

The Boss, who's always tossing
me riddles as casually as he sticks
me for the late afternoon cokes,
handed me a letter from what
lsuppose is a customer a day or so
tago and asked that I handle it in
the proper manner. While l smiled
prettily at him and blushed be-
cause of the confidence he thus
placed in me to be able to do
anything in the proper manner,
was not quite certain-I'm still
not quite certain - just how to
handle this particular matter in. the
proper manner.
You see, the letter he handed
me was an anonymous one. The
writer, with a nice touch OF
venom, went on to deplore SUM-
dry articles that have appeared at
various times in the columns OF
The Star.
1t is quite true that I, myself,
have also deplored certain articles.
1t hurts me to see in my favorlte
newspaper a story about somebody
shooting somebody else, for ex-
ample. If it were not for the fact
that such sordid items must be
duly recorded in the daily prints
I'd personally do my best to keep
all such stories out of the paper.
However, this" cannot always be
done.
I have strayed off considerably
from what I'm supposed to handle
in the proper manner and that is
anonymous letters in general. 1t
has been a time-honored custom
since, even before my time in a
news room, for all anonymous
letters to be dumped promptly in
to the w~astebasket. The feeling
has been with editors from way
on back beyond the time of Horace
Greeley, and probably Benjamin
Franklin, that anybody who wish
ed to see his feelings and ideas
spread across the printed page
must also have the responsibility
and courage to divulge the source
of these ideas and feelings by
signing his name to such an epistle.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-08-01

with one Of our correspondents II
Southe astern North Carolina. The
writer stated there are lots anc
lots of items this correspondent
sends in that are utterly untrue,
not to mention personally obnoxious
to him.
This all may be quite tue anc
those of us hereabouts would dc
all in Jul measly power to expose
the items as untruths but we canno'
60 about such an expose on moth,
ing but the strength of an anony-
NOUS letter. 1t would be nice il
all writers of anonymous letters
could learn that they'd just as vel
not even write such letters be-
cause we pay no more attention
to them than if they hadn't beer
written in the first place.
Then, what am 1 doing in thi.
particular screed? l am paying at
tention to anonymous letters. Blu
my excuse in SO doing herewith
is to explain again that we do not
pay attention to anonymous letters.
There is nothing that makes US
happier than to receive legitimate
letters that are courageously sign
ed by the writers. We aren't ever
choosy. 1t makes us almost az
happy to receive letters that blist'
er our hides as to receive those
that pat us on the back.
This may be a trifle hard for
you to believe. But it is true,
nevertheless. Only by weighing
the brickbats alongside the pre-
cious few bouquets that come in
are We able to figure out what the
heck you're all thinking about.
And, not being omniscient, the only
way we can weigh these brickbats
and bouquets is from the letters
you send us.
But if there's anything you want
to get off your chest please by all
means sign your correct name to
your letter. AS I said, if you don't
want your name to appear We'll
give you a nom de plume or else
use your initials.
You naturally wouldn't be the
kind of a person who scribble
little notes on fences like Susie
Loves Johnnie and then leave il
to the world to try to figure out
who was privy to such inside dope.
Then please be kind to US labor
ers in the newspaper vineyards
and sign the letters about anything
you want us to know about.
With Which, I'll proceed to sit
down and read my anonymous
mail.
