An eyewitness account Of the

countries across the Atlantic, will

She will speak at meeting at 8

DR.. Phillips has just returned
from a f1ve-month tour Of Europe,
where she assisted In rebuilding
national federations of B. and P.
women which were suppressed dur
ing the war.
The international president has
written Miss Marguerite Rawalt,
president of the Washington club,
of some of her observations abroad.
In the British Isles, France, Bel
gium, Italy and Germany, where she
was guest of the United States
Army for a brief period.
In London, DR.. Phillips reports
she found the British Federation
and National Federation of B. and
P. Women's Clubs of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland active in re-
construction and campaigning for
increased participation of women in
public affairs. Many clubs have
already nominated and supported
ther own members for municipal
and national offices, she adds.
A small but active nucleus of the
French Federation survived the war,
DR.. Phillips writes, and is now in
the process of reorganizing, while
in Italy a new federation of young
business and professional women
has been organized and is already
playing prominent role in italian
affairs.
DR.. Phillips was unable to contact
former federation members in Berlin
which she describes as nothing less
than nightmare. She was deeply
moved, she declares, by the appalling
condition Of the people; the obvious
lack of heat, of clothing and of
the Necessities of life.
Such stories as that of the school
teacher in Poland unable to go to
school because she had no clothing
and of the delegate to the United
Nations Scientific and Cultural Or
ganization Conference who attended
in a coat whose sleeves reached
only to the elbows are among the
human interest tales the Interna-
tional Federation has brought back

Thanksgiving

With this country in the midst Of a
Gripping mine strike and world peace
still in the dream stage, we night as
sumo that there is little to be thankful
for on this Thanksgiving Day. But if
we consider the tribulations of the
colonists when the first holiday design
ed for giving thanks was decreed we
can find reasons enough to be CRATE
full.
Those stalwarts who were carving a
nation out of the wilderness had en-
dured %privations the like of which we
know nothing; had had their crops de-
stroyed year after year by hostile
Indians and equally hostile weather;
had had their primitive homes burned,
their families tortured and slain, their
women violated and driven off into
slavery.
Finally, ever when they had a good
crop and a day was set aside for
Thanksgiving, they did not knowif they
would be attacked, so that when they
congregated the men were armed with
whatever defensive weapons they pos
sessed.
Despite the uncertainties of today,
we are secure in our homes, in our right
to worship without let Or hindrance in
our right to assemble in peace without
fear OF any mans arresting hand upon
our shoulder. Our children are receiving
education in the professions and trades.
Our elections are free with the ballot
box open to all men and women within
the laws liberal provisions.
Little to be thankful for today? On
the contrary, we have too many rea-
son for thanksgiving to be named.

Cold, Hungry Nennese Count Small
BLESSINGS" On u. S. Thanksgiving

VIENNA, Nov. 27-R-To the
Viennese, Nov. % is just another
date on the calender. Another cold
day, when there won't be enough
fuel. Another hungry day, when
there won't be enough food. An
other hopeless day, when it is i'm
possible to even dream of a hap
pier future.
But some Viennese find things
for which to be thankful, and only
by listening to them can an Ameri-
can in Europe truly understand
the meaning Of Thanksgiving day.
Manage to buy that big turkey
again this year? Herr Krebler, who
is an accountant and therefore a
normal consumer" is thankful
his daily calory ration has been
raised from 1920 to 1850. OF
course, he hasn't read that in the
United States even 1,760 Galleries
is considered a semi-starvation
diet.
Housing situation still rough in
America? Frau Brietschweig, war
widow, is thankful that the govern.
ment has opened several large
rooms in the city where she can

hours a day. The basement room

sons is damp with bone-penetrating

More And More AZaleas

With the proposal for an azalea
festival in 1913 taking definite shape,
the recent suggestion in these columns
that housholders begin planting aza.
leas in their home gardens has an ad.
dltional reason for general acceptance
The growth is slow but if plants are sci
out O they will be a blaze of beauty
by the time the 1948 blooming period
comes. It is amazing how beautiful
small azaleas are if given the proper
care from the start.
There is no good reason why Will
mington should not become the azalea
city of the entire South provided only
the people enter into the spirit of the
project.
With the city scheduled to plant the
eastern shores of Greenfield, the park
is destined to become our main show
place. There are enough plants in hano
to complete that job and go far toward
lining the plazas on Third, Fifth and
Market streets besides.
The Park Department would do a
fine thing, in line with the homeplant-
Ing movement, if it started this azalea
|rail as quickly as the park planting is
completed.

republican camp as has been generally
believed. But it would be wrong to as
sumo out of hand that Mr.. Vandenberg's
leadership in the field Of foreign rela-
tons is under attack. Rather, it would
be wise to await his own declarations on
the subject before forming any opinion.
One thing seems probable: the BIZ
partisan foreign policy obviously is due
to be REDEEMED. But there is no -rea-
son to think that it will be abrogated
as 3 result of anything the Michigan
Senator has to say about it.

Religion

BY WILLIAM r. ELLIS

Years ago, when travelling in
old Turkey, it became MY privi-
lege to escort a missionary lady
from the railroad on to her station
in the interior. We Travelled in two
arabas! and I had chosen, with
the skill Of experience, / thought,
a driver who seemed intelligent
and trustworthy. / was greatly
concerned that the missionary's
driver looked like a brisand.
Before the first day ended, my
good Turk rebelled against es-
corting a woman, and diverging
from our own route. There fol-
lowed 4 sreal~row, which ended by
my turning our caravan back to
Eregli, where I had the offending
driver put in jail.
In the meantime. the mission
ary's expected escort arrived, and
/ took over her 'brigand" driver,
who drove me to Tarsus with
cheerfulness and skill and cou-
rageous resourcefulness in emer-
gencies.
Ever since then I have been
slow to judge by outward appear
anceS.
Save US from the superficial, o
LORD. In cur day by day living
may we not Judge easy judg-
ments, or be controlled by out
ward appearances. Make NJ eager
for truth In the inward parts.

Foreign Policy

Reports that Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg will shortly issue a state
ment or make a speech on bipartisan
foreign policy naturally arouses keen
public interest. Senator v~andenberg
has worked in harmony with Secretary
of State James F. Byrnes and is ex-
rected to lead the republican majority
in Congress on all matters pertaining
to the nations relations with other gov
ernmerss. His services have been i'll
valuable, both to Mr.. Byrnes and the
Truman administration.
It is. not to much to believe that he
is largely if not chiefly responsible for
the bipartisanship that has prevailed.
Ii is understood that leading repub-
]icans who believe in and support the bi-
partisan foreign policy are Of the opin-
ion tina. while they have had a full
part in the negotiations looking toward
peace in Europe they have not had equal
share in the administrations policies
affecting other parts Of the world. II
is Eel. the State Department has moi
given sufficient attention to thei1
views OF given them adequate consid
Grafton in the formulation Of policie.
for these other areas, but have required
that all matters presented by them b.
cleared through Mr.. V~andenberg.
This could be interpreted as an indi
cation that all is not as serene in tn

Need A Million

In the unlikely event that the trus-
tees of a wealthy foundation or en-
dowment fund should ask our advice on
what to do with a million dollars, we
should earnestly recommend that they
present it to the worthy and deserving
group which calls itself the Emergency
Committee of Atomic Scientists.
There are nine distinguished scien-
lists in the group, headed by DR.. Albert
Elnstein, and they are looking for just
that sum. With it they hope to do a
necessary selling job. Their commodity
is a set of six statements, six Hateful
facts of life which have somehow failed
so far to goad the human family into
concerted, emergency action. The facts
are these:
l. Atomic bombs can now be made
cheaply and in large numbers and they
will become more destructive.
z. There is no military defense
against atomic bombs and none is to
be expected.
3. Other nations can rediscover our
secret processes by themselves.
q. Preparedness against atomic war.
fare is futile, and if attempted it will
ruin the structure of our social order.
b. If war breaks out, atomic bombs
will be used, and they will surely de-
stroy our civilization.
6. There IS no solution to this prob
lem except international control of
atomic energy and, ultimately, the eli
mination Of war.
That is all. But those statements
sum up the problem and measurable
solution better than all the millions of
technical, emotional, controversial, be-
lifting words that have been written on
this subject of almost incomprehensible
Importance.
These nine men know what they are
talking about. They are wise, serious,
and fastidiously devoted to the separa-
ton of fact and supposition. There is
no supposition Or half-truth in what
they are saying now. With the scien.
lists righteous scorn of rhetoric, they
have set down their convictions. The,
have determined upon a vigorous cam
paign to disseminate those conyictions
as DIR. Einstein has explained, through
a feeling Of the heavy responsible.

be liable to annexation or occupa-
ton.
Been able to buy that new cleo
trio icebox yet? Fraulein Wiglitsky,
who works from 7 A. M. to 6 P, M
and then attends classes at the
University of Vienna until 9 P. M.
is thankful that the power shortage
was only temporary, and she again
can have the single lamp in her
barren room by which to study
at night.
Husband still in the army, and
are letters from him sometimes
slow in arriving? DR.. Lenore Ko2-
nauth, who supports herself, her
child and her mother by giving
lessons in English, French and
Latin, is thankful her husband
finally learned, two months ago,
of the birth of their first baby. He
is in a prisoner of war camp. The
baby is Is months old.
Been able to have that new cac
delivered yet? The Viennese are
thankful that at least half of their
rickety street cars are running
again.
Having trouble deciding what to
give Aunt Nellie for Christmas:
The Viennese are thankful that they
have been promised a small portion
CT fresh meat for the end-of-the-
year holidays.
Having trouble getting tina,
tailor-made suit and those white
shirts you ordered? The Viennese
are thankful that UNRRA is re-
leasing 100, 900 used and new gar.
ments. Most OF them are discarded
military items, but they may be
warm.
Thanksgiving day is a time to
count your blessings. ~"Blessinss,''
it seems, is a comparative term.

Earl Alderman of San Francisco.

Mrs. Alderman. This tournament
will be held at the Hollywood Beach
Hotel, Hollywood, Fla, Dec. 8 to Is.
During the summer session of
the Nationals l played a few hands
with Mrs. Alderman and found
her to be a very fine defensive
player. Even in stiff tournament
competition most defenders played

but not Mrs. Alderman.
She wore the opening heart lead
with the king, but decided not to
return a heart because she knew
that declarer must have at least
three hearts to the queen in order
to bid two on trump. She also
knew that her partner had only
four hearts. Her only chance to
defeat the CONTRACT was to find
her partner with some kind of an
entry card. So she returned the
three of spades, right into dunn
my's king-jack.
Declarer had a spade trick, two
heart tricks, three diamonds and
the ace-king Of clubs, and of
course he should have cashed those
eight tricks. But he made the
mistake. after winning the spade
lead with dummy's jack, of lead
ing the ten of clubs and taking
the finesse. West won with the
queen. swung back a spade, and
Mrs. Alderman cashed four spade
tricks. Thus East and West took
Asix tricks in all.
Declarer should have won the
spade lead with the ten, cashed
the king of clubs, led a heart to
dummy's ace, and then led a club.
East would have shown out. and
knowing that the finesse was hope
less declarer would have cashed
his eight top tricks.

The tragedy is that these scientists

all this before. They, of all people, know
the process and the possibilities of their
own creation. But the public has chosen
