Retail MarkdOwns

Albert Coons, vice president of a
large mercantile corporation, speaking
at a Smaller Stores meeting of the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods Association,
declared that merchants must prepare
for a return to old established customs
in which markdowns will be greater
and inventory losses higher than during
the war.
Mr.. Coons did not predict when this
will take place but said a warning flag
or two may be hoisted now, and forth
with listed thirteen tips for retailers.
Among them he included the need to
prepare for inventory losses as a result
of rising prices and deterioration in
quality, and urged store managers to
prepare for a buyers market "by train
ing sales people, improved merchandise
display, and better advertising" This
of course, is good advice. The formula
in full swing before the war and incom-
petent, Indifferent, unreliable help, to
a large extent, had to be employed to
replace regular store staffs absorbed
by the military establishment.
But it is Mr.. Coons' attitude on
markdowns that holds present attention.
He told his audience that they will be
high during the next six to eighteen
months, because competition will require
quick action to keep goods moving.
Competition has always been the GUS
tom of good merchandising and is all
right until it. becomes cut-throat. Then
it is ruinous. Buyers are quick to take
advantage. of markdowns-so quick
that many a merchant in the past has
had to close up because of the losses
extraordinary bargain sales create. De-
spite the fact that prices generally have
skyrocketed no thoughtful buyer would
want to help, however indirectly, to
drive any reputable merchant out of
business by this means.

Come In, Soldier

Available through the week for all
manner of recreational purposes by the
civilian population, the USO center at
Second and Orange is set aside for all
military personnel in southeastern
North Carolina over week-ends. AL
though it has been so used in a limited
way the past two week-ends, it is to
be officially opened today with promise
of large attendance and a practically
continuous entertainment program.
Ralph w. Richards, who was in
charge Of the industrial USO during the
war and has returned to conduct the
programs at Second and Orange, and
Jesse Reynolds, head Of the Wilmington
Recreation department, unite in prais-

this Federal Reserve poll points up the
less encouraging reality, which is this
Prices have run far ahead of income
increases, especially in the poorer-pald
half of our population. Prices will re-
main high, even when and if steady
production and normal competition re-
turn, because production costs will re-
main high. For more than a year con-
trolled prices and uncontrolled pay rises
have been largely concentrated in the
production of items which are in short
est supply and greatest demand.
1t would be dangerous to encourage
families to stop thinking in terms OF
prices compatible with their incomes. 1t
would be even more dangerous to ad-
vocate wage cuts. So what can be done
to hold prices steady and increase pro-
duction?
Frank Ford, editor of the Evansville,
Ind, Press, has proposed a remedy In
a recent article. It includes technology
cal improvements without reduced
wages or increased hours; restoration
of trust and harmony; and an end to
"class strife, make-work, job-stretching
and selfish Misunderstanding"
Until this remedy is used, and until
workers and employers alike devote a
good deal more thinking to their duties
and less to their rights, the worlds

Huge Bombers OF Future May Carry
DUN Fighter Planes For Protection

XB-35 Flying Wing, with a range
of 10, 000 miles.
Even if fighters were developed
to match that range, the strain on
the pilot would be excessive and
maneuverability and armament
would have to be sacrificed for a
huge fuel load.
The Navy already has two JET
fighters with folding wings for use
on aircraft carriers, and others
are being designed and built.
If the carrier were a large plane
instead of a ship, the fighter could
be launched from below the plane
instead from a flight deck, and
could be recovered on a hook in
flight much as a carrier plane is
snagged by an arresting cable or
the deck.
The idea is not new. Expert
ments of that kind were begun as
early as 1908 or 1909 when the
French pioneer. Santos Dumont,
hooked his plane to a balloon to gel
altitude before starting.
By 1924 the Army experimental
with launching planes from bal.
looms and three years later the
Navy was doing it with the diri.
gible Los Angeles.
The Navy later had two squad.
rons attached to the Akron and the
Macon, dirigibles which later were
lost. Each could carry five small
fighters inside its giant bag,
launch them and recover them.
Probably the last air-to-air
landing was made by Rear Ad-
miral H. B. Miller, retired, who
hooked his little F9C-2 Sparrow
hawk onto the Macon the day it
went down off the California coast
in February, 1885.

Waldermar Won Zedtwitz OF
New York has been winning
national championships since the
days of auction, and seldom fails
to win a first or second during
the week of the nationals. This
year he won the national mems
pair title with A. M. Barnes OF
| New York.
An interesting point is brought
out in today's hand. Won Zedtwitz
(South) allowed the first spade
lead to hold. West continued with
the jack, which declarer won with
the king.
Now the "home" bridge player
might have cashed the good heart
tricks, which would give. the op-
ponents an opportunity to indi-
cate what suit to lead.
Won Zedtwitz realized that he
could not make game without es-
tablishing the diamond suit, SC
he led the nine-spot. West went
in with the king and led the third
spade, which declarer won. An
other diamond was played, East
won with the ace and shifted to
a club.
But it tame too late, as Won
Zedtwitz now made two spades,
four hearts, three diamonds and
a club, making four.
Another reason for not CASH
ing the heart suit Immediately
was that the jack of hearts might
be needed as an entry to dummy
for the diamond suit. If the OPP
ponents had shifted to a club
before the diamonds we're estab-
lished, declarer still would have
to play the hand to 60 down the
least number Of tricks

Shipping Survey

The fact that executives OF New
York shipping lines, accompanied by
their engineers, are to make a survey
of the Port of Wilmington to learn the
tonnage capacity, past, present and
potential, is indicative of the spreading
interest in Wilmington in commerce as
we'll as other business groups. :
They cannot fail to be impressed by
the current revival Of shipping through
the port after the long enforced mac
tivity through the war period. Nor can
they fail to be even more deeply i'm
pressed with the preparations for ex-
banding the ports by the
State Ports Authority through the crea-
lion of needed dockage, warehouse facili-
ties and terminals which, despite OBJ
stacles raised in Washington, will be
forthcoming in due time.
The patronage New York shipping
interests can direct to Wilmington is
too great to appraise at this time. But
the inspection they contemplate making,
at the invitation of J. T. HERS, executive
general agent of the Wilmington Port
Commission, cannot be ove~r-evaluated.

Famine Amidst Plenty

The Federal Reserve has succumbed
to the popular practice of poll-taking
and come up with some enlightening re-
suits. Taking the misleading figures
on national and average per capita
wealth, it has added some facts to the
figures by determining where the money
really lies, and what the possessors in
tend doing with it.
The Boards survey of 5000 families
reveals that the average savings in this
group amounts to $3.50. But it also
reveals that the top 10 per cent of these
families has seven-eighths OF all the
savings, while the bottom 40 per cent
has only / per cent. The survey also
shows that while everybody is hungry
for durable goods, the great majority
doesn't want to buy at todays prices.
The Board estimates that a,0OO,O 900
families want new cars, and 1000, 900
want new homes. But it's pol shows that
one-third of these families wants to pay
less than $4,000 for a house, while only
another third is willing to go above &c.
900. And while the average citizen
expects to pay $1100 for a new car, he
seems content to wait around for a while
on the chance of paying less.
Thus we have some statistics that
make sense to go with a situation which,
though not graphed and charted, has
been clear for some time. Our n%ationa,
wealth, though greater, is still about al
badly distributed as ever. And our ma
tional living standard is going down al
our wealth increases.
There has been prevalent an Opt
mistic belief that once strikes ant
shortages were Strengthened out or OPP
ceilings restored and really made tt
work. our troubles would be over. Blu

hangar built into its huge fuselage
and carry folding-wing jet fighters
which could be launched and re.
covered in flight. The necessity
for pressuring the fuselage in high
altitude. however, poses some diff
ficulties. They might be overcome
by building separate compart-
ments.
The idea of a parasite fighter
stems from the difficulties in
matching the flying range Of
single-place escorts with that Of
bombers. At the end of the war,
the United States had fighters able
to fly more than 1000 miles from
their base and return, but the BIS
Superfortress could 60 farther.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 49, up -
Huge bombers of the future may
carry their own fighter planes with
them for their protection if mill
tary plans now in the discussion
stage materialize.
Projects to equip super-long-
