vitality Needed Program

The desires of the Postoffice depart
ment to spend approximately $15,00O,-
900 in 1O7 North Carolina towns, in
Guiding more than a dozen in the South
eastern section, should be made into an
essential part of the governments gen.
eral postwar construction plans.
The Sunday Star-News cannot think
of a similar program more vitality
needed.
There has not been any new post
office building in the state since before
the war. Meantime, scores of communi-
ties have grown tremendously with the
result that present facilities, often rent
ed, are quite Inadequate.
AS two nearby examples of this sit
uation, Carolina Beach and Jacksonville
may be cited. The resort town, fast be-
coming a greater %year-around communi-
ty, could we'll use a better and larger
postoffice. The Onslow county seat has,
because of the establishment of Camp
Lejeune, zoomed upward in it's popula-
ton from 873 to 1926, a gain of 1887
per cent, within six years. A community
showing this tremendous amount of
progress is also entitled to a new and
larger office.
In addition to the housing of postal
facilities, many Tar Heel communities
need additional space for numerous fed
eral sub-agencies.
= Both the Federal Works Agency and
Congress must approve the proposed
projects.
While the Postoffice departments
plans may be considered preliminary,
efforts toward their realization offer
an excellent statewide undertaking for
North Cardinals delegation when Con-
gress convenes again. Meanwhile, those
communities favored on the depart
ment's list may we'll be laying the
groundwork for their highly justified
appeals for new federal buildings.

Must Be Second Sight

Says Attorney General Tom Clark:
IT know who the American Commu-
nists are, what they are doing, and
what they plan to do"
If the last part of that statement
means what we think it does. then At
torney General Clark is a remarkably
smart man. For it is readily and re-
peatedly observable that the American
Communists don't know what they plan
to do until their sensitive ears catch
the signal from the Kremlin.
The case of their war attitude be-
fore and after the Nazi invasion of
Russia, and of the varied fortunes of
Earl Browder, and of the quick change
of attitude toward Henry Wallace after
the latter's Madison Square Garden
speech-these and many other exam
pies indicate that the American Reds
haven't the most remote assurance that
what they believe and dc today will be
proper to believe and do tomorrow.
Undoubtedly they'd appreciate a fill
in from Mr.. Clark on the upcoming
agenda.

TOP o. THE

Recently a great man left this country,
Lord Halifax, British Ambassador, who l
suppose will rank with the great ambassa-
doris of his country in all time. One of our
coIumnists, Philip Sims, wrote about him
recently. He said the outstanding charac-
teristic about Lord Halifax was that he
had a profound serenity of spirit. This,
he said, grew out of his simple religious
faith. l have seen him in many a crisis,
but he always impressed me as a little
child, the way he trusted God. One night
we were in a hotel in London during the
V-bomb downpour. All the guests of the
hotel went underground or else slept down
low. Halifax had a room on the top floor
and when they asked him if he was going
down below. He said, "No, I think not, 1
like my room up there. You know God Is
up there"

American Market First

An editorial in the current issue of
Golfers upholds the American automo-
bile industry in exporting about one
sixth of the $4,000 passenger cars and
trucks it managed to produce in the
first half of this year.
This, the piece continues, was not
done malevolently or any desire to keen
the home customers waiting for new
automobiles. These machines, it con-
tlnues, were exported to other countries
because the U. S. motor industry wants
to recover as much of prewar foreign
markets as it can It reports that it is
facing the toughest competition in that
market than it ever had to combat be-
fore the war.
Perhaps there is support for Golfers
stand but we cannot see it.
The American automobile industry
was made what it is today not by foreign
but domestic markets. Therefore. in
these times OF scarce new cars, thew
should come first. We believe that anv
preliminary gains other nations NAV
make in the foreign sales field can he
overcome quickly by this country's pro.
duction methods and better QUALITY
vehicles.
Then, there is the question of the
returning serviceman receiving first
preference. That promise was made If
them and it should be kept. But impor-
tation of new automobiles is delaying its
fulfillment.
Fundamentally, it is a question Of
Americans first. We wish to see M
brake placed on foreign trade but we
are also anxious to see this country
needs served first.

Mr.. Byrnes' Address

Elimination of the tension between
the Western Allies and Russia is nee
essary not only to rid themselves of fear
that war is inevitable but it is also i'm
perative if permanent peace is to be
effected on a basis of real justice.
That was the essence of Secretary of
State Byrnes address Friday night.
His speech was as sound in express
ing true American thinking as it was
timely.
1t was, in effect, an appeal for re-
Cancellation, on the basis of mutually
fair and generous terms, between the
United States and Britain on one hand
and the Soviet Union on the other. But
this cannot be effected by one nation,
unless it stoops to disgraceful compro-
mise, alone. There must be genuine
agreement, inspired by understanding
and confidence and put into an operative
state through cooperation.
1.-TWO states can quickly reach an I'M
d~erstanding if one is willing to yield to
all demands. The United States is un-
willing to do 50. It is equally unwilling
to ask it of another state" Secretary
Byrnes declared.
He went on to explain that all must
act in good faith and in the spirit of
Cancellation. They must not launch false
and misleading propaganda against each
other. They must not arbitrarily exer-
else their power of veto.
They must not fight automatically
We must admit that the shooting
wars, with isolated small exceptions,
are over. But conflict at the peace tables
cannot be ignored.
Therefore, Secretary Byrnes called
for an armistice in the diplomatic
wrangling.
He wants a breathing spell to allow
the United States and Russia to really
work to bring about an understanding.
So far, it must be admitted that the re-
suits of their efforts have not been
marked by success.
We can charge that it is Russia's
fault.
Moscow can charge that we are re-
sponsible for the present aggravating
situation.
The fact is, however, that Secretary
Byrnes has set the proper course for all
to follow. He is quite right in saying
this nation should not adopt a "tough''
or soft" line with anyone, The correct
word to actually define it is firm"
He is espousing the cause of a Just
and democratic peace, to be reached only
through mutual understanding. The diff.
ficulty of attaining that state has beer
we'll illustrated by the Paris conference
It is the hardest task the world faces

Complete Turnabout In
Opinion Within Year
By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute Of
Public Opinion

obAAS OPAAAoA
PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 49,
Although the issue of strike curbs
and labor union regulation is being
soft pedaled by both political par
ties for fear of losing labor votes,
it continues to be n of the major
issues in the minds of the Arneri-
can public.
There has been a complete turn
about in attitude on the question
of which party can best deal with
the problem.
A year ago the general feeling
was that the Democratic Party
could deal with unions better than
the Republican Party. Today it
is just the other way around. For
every voter who still says the
Democrats can deal best with the
matter, two say the Republicans
are the ones who can handle it
best.
The change signifies a growing
loss of faith in the ability of the
Democrats to work with labor un-
ions and prevent strikes which
have delayed the production Of
badly needed goods.
The public's attitude on the mat
ter has been charted during he
past year in surveys by the In
stltute, the latest of which has Just
been completed. Voters in these
surveys have been asked:
"As you feel today which polit-
ical party - the Democratic or
the Republican - can best handle
the problems of reducing strikes
and labor troubles"
The vote today as compared to
eight months ago and one year ago
is given below:
Demo- Repub- No
cratic lican Differ
Party Party ence
Oct, 1945 -41% 800 1880
Feb, 1876 38 So rs
TODAY ---23 As 81
AL occupation groups in the sur
vey show a greater confidence in
the ability of the Republican Party
to deal with this issue than in the
Democratic Party. Professional
and business people show greater
COP. confidence than any other
occupation group, as might be ex-
pected, but even among manual
workers where the Democrats
have the greatest following, the
weight of opinion today favors the
COP. on the strike-control issue.
THE CHANGED attitude is part
and parcel of a broad political
trend in this country away from
the Democratic Party. AS report
ed earlier in the week, surveys
by the Institute show that Demo-
cratic party strength nationally in
early October was at its lowest
point in Is years. Only 43 e
cent of voters questioned in the
poll said they would vote Demo-
cratic if a Congressional election
were being held today, while 81
per cent favored the COP.
Four other indexes of public SEN
tlment reported at the same time
by the Institute also showed de-
Ginning public support of the Dem
%ocratic Party.
Today's poll is further evidence
that there has been a major shift

Prize winner IN
PHILADELPHIA WOMAN
NATIONAL HAT CONTEST

PHILADELPHIA, Apr. 16
(ANP)-Mrs. Minnie Ransom, a
housewife, was announced as Sec.
ond prize winner in the national
contest conducted by Hedda Hop
per and Tom Breneman, radio COM
mentators, to determine whether
professional milliners or ingenious
American housewives produce the
most original hats.
Mrs. Ransom's creation, fashion
ed from burned match sticks and
blue tulle yelling, was chosen Sec
ond winner from approximate
ly $4,000 hats which poured into
Hollywood during the contest The
judges board consisted of John
Fredericks, Mrs. LaFalle Dicken-
son and Lily Dache, three of the
country's outstanding hat design
ers.
The mother of three children,
Mrs. Ransom said she had been
making hats for herself and family
for years. "But | never dared hope
that out of all the many hats in the
contest mine would be chosen"
The hat, which brought its crea-
tor three prizes, a Westinghouse re-
frigerator, 500 war bond, one of
Hedda Hopper's own hats and ma
