It Says Here
. By BOB HOPE

This is the time of year that everyone fancies himself as hav- ing supernatural powers to fore see the events of the next twelve months. Being slightly less super natural than most of my col leagues, I waited a week after New Years before sticking my clairvoyant chin out. I'm too tired to be original, but here's how 1946 looks from my teacup:
 I predict that because of food shortage Nelson Eddy will run out of shortnin' bread. That President Truman, finally realizing Jack Benny's great Missouri following will appoint him to a high office. You know, they love him in St. Joe" That the trend in psycho- logical pictures will reach an all- time high when a quickie com pany makes a picture about a psychoneurotic dog called Bone bound" or "Lassie Came Home A Manic-Depressive. That Frank Sinatra will be on top the Hit Parade (note-this isn't very sur prising, though-he doesn't weigh enough to go to the bottom). That Ray Midland will get the Academy award for Lost Weekend" This is no wild guess. happen to know the foundry is working right now on bloodshot Oscar. And I pre- dict that Hedy Lamar will finally realize her lifelong dream and be assigned a part opposite the most dashing and handsome actor Hollywood has to offer-that is, if I can talk my studio into it.

Larry O'Deo Dies; Was CoIorfuI
Police Figure for ~ Years
Retired Detective Had
Killed Escaped Lion,
Fought Armed Bondits

Lawrence A. Larry O'dea, IS
former District detective who in his
long career handled everything
from escaped circus lions to armed
bandits, died yesterday at his home
in Waldorf, Md, where he had lived
since his retirement in 1910.
AS hobby, Mr.. O'Dea collected
photographs depicting the history
OF the District police. The collec-
ton, now in room at police head
quarters, covers events from l842 to
ls40 and also gives highlights of Mr..
O'Deas own career.
One picture shows group OF
Chicago mobsters in a local police
lineup, with one man wearing sew
eral bandages on his face.
II beat him up" Mr.. oDea said
in an interview before his retire
ment.
Mr.. O'Dea was once the leader o1
a raiding group known as "the four
horsemen." The newspapers gave
the title to him-and the three men
working with him, Howard E. Ogle
Oscar w. Mansfield, and Arthur
Fihelly-because of the number OF
raids they made on gambling places
and speakeasies during the prohi-
bition era.
OF these raids he said:
When we go through, those places
looked as If the fire department
had hit them"
The lion episode occurred in 1896
when Mr.. O'Dea and another police
man encountered a lion chewing
off the leg of circus worker at the
old circus grounds, First and L
streets NE. Mr.. ODea shot the
lion with his service revolver but
he recalled later that the circus Of
flcials were more disturbed over los

Senate Learns Alaskan Aerial Test
Was Cut Back After Okey Giuen Canol

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80 -(P}-
Senators learned Monday that the
top American military men who in
sisted in 1943 that the Canol oil
project must be completed had
decided a month earlier to cut back
the Alaskan aerial offensive it was
designed to support.
This vas disclosed by a memo
randum secured from Navy depart
ment files as the Senate War In
vestigating committee wound up an
inquiry into the Canol project, a
multi-million dollar wartime effort
to develop an oil field in Northern
Canada.
Admiral Ernest j. King, wartime
chief of naval operations, was the
only witness at the session which
dealt chiefly with Kings objec.
tons to a committee report earl
Ter this month on Canol. King, con-
tending the report unjustly critiz-
ed him personally, demanded a re-
traction.
In the curse of nearly three
hours of heated give-and-take, it
was developed that:
/. The chiefs of staff decided in
September 1943, to Withdraw all
possible forces from Alaska and
create them elsewhere" Previous
ly there had been intensive efforts
to develop bases in the Aleutians
off Alaska from which B-29s could
bomb Japan.

chiefs of staff recommended con-
necessity. 1t had cost $500, 900, 900 at

Now the Philadelphia Record, having

supply, is using wrapping paper, com

secured a limited amount and at a much

Appeal To CPA

: This city was all ready to forge
ahead industrially, and had already
made notable progress, when the Civil
liam Production Administration issued
it's general stop order on new construc-
ton because of the scarcity of building
materials. The step was taken, Or ex-
planned, as necessary that homes for
veterans might be built in great num-
!: bers. Needless to say that something
happened to this commendable bonus
program and veterans by the thousand
are still unhoused.
Because of Wilmington's imperative
need for industries a movement is I'm
der way to carry it's case directly to the
CPA and if necessary as far beyond it's
jurisdiction as possible in an effort to
have the stop order lifted. A meeting
: has been arranged for leaders in VFW
and the American Legion on the one
hand, and Industrial Properties and the
City Industrial Agent on the other, all

A Cultural Center

The Simons proposal for a cultural
, center, as briefly outlined in
Yesterdays Star is ambitious, but Will
mington cannot attain a commanding
position among Southern cities without
an ambition for development. Mr.. So
mons wisely explains that his plan is a
long-range one, to be undertaken one
step at a time. With the many propos-
ed ram~ifications, this community could
not undertake it or appropriate the
necessary funds for it's completion as a
single project, especially as it would
require condemnation proceedings on a
large scale.
In the main, Mr.. Simon proposes that
the cultural center, with the High school
as hub, would stretch from Seventh to
Fifteenth street and in addition to the
school and the three churches already
existing would contain the proposed city
auditorium and the city library, with
a major playground near the James
Walker Memorial hospital, which would
flank the center on the north, and an
other near the Williston High school,
which would form it's southern flank.
They are not mentioned, but such a
project as Mr.. Simon proposes would
be incomplete without an art center and
a music center. Marine hospital prop
erty would be a recreation center, pre-
sumably with the Robert Strange play
ground as integral part thereof.
There is some reason to question
whether the City Council would go
along with a change in the accepted
auditorium site-the Marine hospital
property-as the administration pur-
chased this land from the federal gov
eminent with intention to locate the
auditorium there.
Whether Mr. Sirnon's plan is accepted
In full, or rejected because the size and
the cost of the project is too large to
envision now, it certainly sets a new
development goal and gives progressive
Wilmingtonians something solid to think
about.

city started, not only because their op-
GRAFTON is needed to help overcome
scarcities in civilian goods but also to
provide employment for ex-servicemen.
The USES cities CPA restrictions as a
principal cause of veteran unemploy-
ment here.
With this particular group behind
the movement there is good reason to
believe that a lessening of the restric-
lions will follow and both production and
employment be made available.

print were distributed to it's readers as
usual.
The news section has the appearance
of great age. Were'i it not for the date
line and that the articles are Of current
interest, one might easily mistake it for
a souvenir of a long past generation.
It reminds one of the newspapers print
ed on wall paper about the time OF the
War Between the States.
1t also shows the spirit of American
newspaper publishers in general, who
can endure many things but not to skip
an edition of their papers.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-10-01

Today's hand brings out an un-
usual line of defense. 1t was
played in one of the weekly dupli-
Gates at the Mayfair Bridge Club
in New York, and Alfred o. Eng
lander sat West. He was playing
against a very strong pair and the
bidding indicated to him that there
was little or no chance to defeat
the contract.
Feeling that any natural open
ing would only make the hand
easy for the declarer, he decided
upon a surprise attack and opened
the six of clubs.
Declarer overlook dummy's nine
OF clubs with the queen. If he had
taken three rounds of trumps, he
would have had no problem, but
ne was afraid that the trump suit
might not break three-two, and
he could not realize that there
was any danger of a club ruff.
Hoping to find the ace of hearts
right, he led the heart, went up
with the dummy's king, and East
won. East returned his lowest club
and Vests ace Won.
The lead of the lowest club was
a suit director, and Highlander
therefore led a diamond. East
won and came back with a club
which Highlander ruffed, defeating
a perfectly safe contract.
The su~it-directing play is a great
asset if it is not abused. The
lead Of the lowest of a suit in
dicates that the leaders prob
able entry is in the lower of the
other non-trump suits. while a
high return indicates a probable
entry in the higher of the non
trump suits

that time and it was estimated
that $35, 000. 900 would be needed to
complete it.
3. An intelligence report was re-
ceived by the Navy from it's at
tache at Ottawa in February, 1913,
which said responsible Canadian
oil men believed the Canol project
was due to fail" The attache
quoted an official of Imperial Oil
company as calling it a wild cat
proposition" Imperial held "a
lease on the Canol field prior to
the war.
The nearest thing to a conclu-
sion reached on Kings complaint
was a comment by Chairman Kill
gore D-WVa.) that he was will
ing to spread the blame to the
whole bunch" meaning the joint
chiefs of staff.
King had protested that the COM
