Two men who on February were
committed on District Jail as ma
terial witnesses after they had been
unable to furnish bond for their ap-
pearance, yesterday sought their
freedom through a habeas corpus

several blocks after the former sailor
had been elected from the mission
and lay IN an alley

and Joseph A. McMenamin. Mr..
McMenamin said both men had been
stopping at the mission.

Wallace, Aide Differ
On High Bracket Taxes
BY .he Associated Press

A Commerce Department official
told neWsmen yesterday that lex
tremely high taxes on executives in
the higher income brackets are de-
stroying incentive" to see that more
goods are produced and more jobs
furnished.
The opinion was voiced by Albert
j. Browning, director of the de-
partment's Office of Domestic Com
merce at a joint news conference
with Secretary Wallace But Mr..
Wallace did not second him, saying
he was "at most open-minded' on
the subject.
Mr.. Wallace said the Commerce
Department is working with the
Treasury in studying the tax effect
on production and that he believes
Mr.. Browning may modify" his
opinion when his studies turn to
effects on distribution as well as
production of goods.
The Secretary further said the
problem was not Immediate right
now, the problem is to prevent in
f1ation"
Mr.. Browning was a mail-order
house executive before he handled
War Department procurement dur
ing the war prior to joining the
Commerce Department recently. He
said earlier in discussing his tax
theory, that "the only way to stop
imitation is to have more produc-
ton"
He said that by higher income
brackets" he meant those ranging
upward from $4,000 in earned in
come. He added he is also studying
the question from the standpoint
of lowerpaid workers. Replying to
a question, he said the study also
extends to corporations.

Symphony Scores Hit
In Charlottesville
Speeiol Dispoteh 10 The Stor

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Mar.
.5.-An audience of more than 900
last night received the National
Symphony Orchestra with great en-
thusiasm at a concert performed
in the Lane High School audi
torium.
DR.. Hans Kinder conducted a
varied program of classical and
modern numbers which stirred the
warmest reception given any of the
four community concerts presented
here this season. 1t was the Capital
orchestra's second appearance in
this university city in two years and
marked the Music Association first
sell-out concert.
The major work on the program
was the Brahms Symphony No. l..
Other numbers included Haydn's
Symphony No. 88: three dances
from the ballet "Gayaneh, by the
young Armenian, Khachaturyan,
and Glazounov's FESTIVAL Over
ture,' The orchestra gave as an
encore an 18th century dance from
Henry Purcells The Persian Prin-
cess"
The power and magnificance of
the Brahms symphony were de-
veloped fully by the orchestra. The
crescendos were achieved MASTER
fully and the strings were particu-
larry effective.
KhachatWyan's ballet music.
which was given its American pre-
miere only last year, stirred such
an ovation that DR.. Kinder re-
peated the bizarre saber dance, the
most extreme in statement of the
three excerpts. The influence of
the great Russian. Rimsky- Korsakov.
was apparent in the vivid colorations
and thread of the folk themes.
Persistent applause after the final
number, the Brahms symphony,
brought curtain talk from DR..
Kinder, in which he said any
encore after the master work could
only be an anticlimax

The atomic bomb created an in

Family Service

In view of the directors chosen and
the organ izations represented, the
Family Service Society which took def
Unite form at a special meeting at
Community Council headquarters on
Thursday gives promise of filling a
long-felt want in Wilmington.
Naturally it will eliminate much
duplication of effort which has char
acterized charitable services in the city,
by concentrating the entire work of re-
lieving want and caring for the needy
in a central unit.
It is considered one of the most con-
structive programs undertaken under
Community Chest sponsorship or sup
ervision since the Chest came into
existence some four years ago.

Continue The Draft.

With world conditions in such an
unstable state, General Eisenhower be-
lieves that discontinuance of the draft
system would be unwise. He has
asked Congress to extend the draft law
and to | i m i t the e rms of inductees
to Gig h cen month By this
means, he says, all fathers in the SER
vice may be discharged by the end of
August or early September. On the
other hand, failure to retain selective
service would probably leave the Army
short 10000 men of the 100000
needed strength by July of next year.
General Eisenhower's opinion is not
to be disregarded or shrugged aside.
No man in the military establishment
knows as we'll as he does the conditions
that require the United States to have
this military strength or the Importance
OF maintaining it by the draft.
1t had been hoped that with VI day
the world would be ready to settle down
to peace and peacetime pursuits. That
hope has not been fulfilled. Instead
there are rumors of war in dozen d.
rections.
Also the task of occupying conquer
ed areas, especially Japan and Germany,
is far from completed. The men who
have carried on since the surrender of
Germany and Japan, after long periods
of combat service, are justly entitled
to come home. Their places can be
taken only by fresh troops. Voluntary
enlistments are falling far short of
the need. Without requirements the
veterans would have to be held at their
foreign posts.
Congress cannot do it's full duty in
these parlous times if it ignores Gen.
eral Eisenhower's recommendations.

blind. Surely, if they use the side
walks occasionally and note the steady
advances in prices of consumer goods
in display windows, they must see what
is happening.
Inflation's best friend, obviously, is
the OPA. BY perpetuating controls,
it is encouraging initiation.
There is growing understanding
among the people and producers that
only by removing controls and giving
industry chance to produce, so that
supply can catch up with demand, will
complete runaway initiation be over
come.
Most everybody else can see this.
Why can't the OPA?

Just After Grasshoppers

We've all had the wrong slant on the
Russo-Iranian difficulty. We've sup
posed Russia was primarily after Iran
ian oil and was keeping her troops in
Iran beyond the time set for their with
drawal on one pretext and another to
be sure she got it.
That's not it at all. The Russian
purpose is to rid Iran of grasshoppers.
Moscow says so, and Moscow is always
right.
Russia's Department of Agriculture,
we are told, has sent an expedition
made up of the nations civilian airfleet
into Iran to wipe out grasshoppers in
a great tract in northern Iran, and
Moscow says the job is undertaken on
request of the Iranian government.
Can it be that we have mistaken
Russia's kindly motives toward her
neighbor? Or could it possibly be that
Moscow remembers Nazi infiltration !?
Remember how Hitler sent hordes
into Rumania armed only with shovels,
just to help the Rumanians along with
their agricultural program? Remem-
Der how German tourists poured into
European countries before the war?
We mustn't forget that this Russian
civilian airfleet is merely hunting
grass hoppers. 1t might be well
not to forget that by this philanthropic
maneuver Russian planes will be on
Iranian soil.
AS the Security Council is sched-
uled to meet on Monday, despite Rus
sia's attempt to have the session post
poned, the grasshopper flight is not
without significance.

lima Legislature was called upon
to stop trawling. One member -
and he was from a coastal coun-
ty, too got up on his two hind
legs and delivered himself Of a
philippe against trawling.
"Why,' he said, "these traw-
lers slip out in the ocean nights
and throw dynamite overheard and
kill all the fish and then dip them
into their boats with dip-nets.' -
He raved along so eloquently that
an eminent newspaper in the state
took up the matter editorially. The
editor went to some pains, and
many words, to castigate the traw-
lers for dynamiting fish.
Now, it so happens that the very
name trawler means dragging the
bottom. A trawl fisherman has the
kind of net, rugged out with wood
en- doors, that he drags along
the bottom of the sea. When a
body of water is dynamited the
fish therein die and float to the
surface. Such a thing would make
it impossible for the trawler to
catch any fish.
Yet, so eloquent was that one
solon's plea in the Legislature that
the body passed restrictive regu-
lations governing trawlers. And,
so far as I know, the regulations
still are in effect.
It's no wonder to me that fish
ing friends OF mine some time

start all over again.
Still, you can find hardly any
body who won't set in and tell
you all about the business.
This was the conversational
strain that went on between Cap'n.
Durwood and me when I saw him.
Cap'n. Durwood is, perhaps, IS.
He's been fishing for a living since
he was about 10.
How come" he asked me, sis
it that everybody can tell you how
to catch fish? Ever now and then
somebody comes along and looks
over my fishing gear and tells
me I should use nets of bigger
or smaller mesh, or I ought to
change the wings of my shrimp
rig. They even tell me where l
ought to 60 to catch fish. And,
funny thing, even if I know they
never have been outside in all
their lives I find myself thinking
about following their instructions. y
That's just about it. Fishing is
such an inexact science that you're
about as well off going about it
by guess as anything else. It's the
biggest gamble of any industry.
More so even than farming.
Sometime, though, there are
some pretty glazing errors made
in the name of fishing. And these
errors get up in pretty high circles.

who's as much at home in the
teeth of a SOU easter as you are
sitting in front of your radio-a
day or two ago, I was reminded
again Of the indisputable fact that

Spies Favored

This country has it's Bureau of In
vestigation and Secret Service, but
spy corps in foreign lands is something
the United States has been too confid
ing and credulous to maintain.
Spying is European practice which
in the past has been carefully and
cheerfully avoided by us. Sure, we
have had military and naval intelligence
stats, and their work has been above
par. But the out-and-out spy is some
thing else again.
This war, the fighting phase of
which closed some six months ago, how
ever, has brought a change in the popu-
lar attitude toward spying. The thought
of having a spy corps is not nearly as
repellant as it used to be.
A Gallup poll, propounding the ques-
ton: "Do you think: Congress should
provide money to maintain a large
force of secret service agents -Qiterally
spies) who would operate throughout
the world to keep us informed of what
other nations are doing?" was answered
in the affirmative by II per cent of the
persons queried. Only II per cent
were against it, with per cent on the
fence.
How much the atomic bomb, and
the possibility of its development in
other lands, had to do with creating
this. vast affirmative majority, is not
clear, but probably its part was great
