The Wilmington morning star., 1946-07-27
BY JOHN SKIES

Seldom do l get the chance to
mingle at night with the boys.
When I do l have the urge to 60
running to a typewriter and knock
out my impressions of the occa-
sion.
An affair I attended out at the
Trails End inn Thursday night
struck me, though. as being SO
far from the general run of gath
erings that I was doubly struck
with its importance and the many
ramifications attendant there
upon.
The Wilmington Chamber of
Commerce, in the persons Of E.
L. White, John Farrell, and Frank
lin Bell, threw a fish fry for a
bunch of the boys representing the
beaches in this area. These, l want
to emphasize, include Long and
Holden beaches in Brunswick
county as we'll as Fl. Fisher.
Kure's, Wilmington, Carolina and
WIlgntSVllle.
My old friend Bum Frink, the
Southport barrister, very vigor-
ously pointed out that Long and
Holden beaches not only are a part
of the Wilmington beach area, but
that they are a very important
part.
The last time I visited either of
the beaches was in 1941. Even
then I vas quite impressed with
the way they'd built up. But when
I mentioned Thursday night the
long time that has elapsed since
l last visited those two spots, Mr..
Frink looked at me in that tone
of voice like son-you-are-'way-be-
indebtedness.
And he brought up reinforce
ments on me, too. in the person of
Mr.. E. F. Middleton, a Charleston
ian who has just about forsaken
the Battery and all its traditions
for Long Beach and its promise of
great things to come.
"You wouldn't know Long Beach
now" MI. Middleton told me. cts
the fastest growing beach in North
Carolina"
Mr.. Middleton further told me
that if he'd been able to procure
the building materials he already
would have had a modern hotel at

A Peoples Project

From the time the City government
was induced to share the cost of the
new industrial agency there have been
repeated efforts to move it to the City
Hall and brought under the supervision
of the City Council. 1t was a pet plan
of the former city manager, A. c.
Nichols, who abandoned the plan with
great reluctance under the pressure of
opposing public opinion.
The effort is again revived on the
ground that as long as the city is bear
ing much of the expense it should have
control also.
Against this position is the argu-
ment that the project is a peoples I'M
dertaking and that to surrender any
part of the peoples authority to the
city would reduce the agency to a
strictly political agency-a step that
would work to it's decreasing efficiency.
As now set up, the agency is located
at the Chamber of Commerce, with that
organizations executive secretary, John
Farrell, at the head. Because of it's
location Mr.. Farrell has the benefit of
counsel by J. T. Heirs, general execu-
tive agent of the Wilmington Port Com
mission, and H. E. Boyd, traffic man.
ager Of the Wilmington Port Traffic
Association, both of whom have their
offices in the Woodrow Wilson Hut, the
Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
This arrangement has proved mutually
advantageous, particularly as indus
tries interested in locating in the Will
mington area want to know about trans
portation and freight rates as well as
available sites.
To disrupt this combined source of
important information by removing
the industrial agency would place a
severe handicap on the agency and Will
mington's industrial development. It is
to be hoped that the incipient effort to
turn the agency over to the city will
be blocked without further ado.

Worse Than Shooting

AAACSA VA0 A@R ~PPS
terminable and inexcusable delay, the
court at Nuremberg approaches the
time to sentence leading German al
criminals.
Months have been devoted to the
taking of testimony, much of which
has been sheer balderdash. This is not
surprising, since Hitler, their leader,
encouraged lying on the score that if
it is kept up long and insistently
enough the lie will ultimately be &C
copied as truth.
Now the evidence is all in and the
prosecution has completed its case.
Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson
of the United States Supreme Court,
chief prosecutor, has demanded con-
viction for twenty-five ranking nazis
on charges of war guilt and crimes
against humanity. The British prose-
cution, supporting Judge Jackson's able
presentation, claims the defendants are
guilty of committing twelve million
calculated, deliberate MURDERS" in a
cold, calculated attempt to destroy ma
tons and races, "to disintegrate tradi-
tons, institutions and the very existence
of free and ancient states"
There are two phases of the Nuern-
berg trial at the present stage which
invite attention. One is that for the first
time in history leaders in warfare are
charged with crimes against humanity.
1t is something new in Jurisprudence
and sets a new gauge for guarding
against unprovoked war such as the
Germans conducted in Europe and the
Japanese in Asia.
Not even the Congress of Vienna,
after Napoleon's conquests, defeats and
exile on E1ba, thought of placing the
blame for war where it properly be-
longed. Nor did the Allied nations
gathered at Versailles after the First
World War. We have here, then, a prec-
edent which properly carried out would
make a Hitler, a Napoleon, a Genghis
Khan, an Alexander or any other gang
ster of the first magnitude think twice
before launching a war of conquest.
The other phase is that Justice Jack
son made no reference to a death SEN
tence. Justice Jackson was particularly
scathing in his denunciation of the de-
PENDANTS, and it might be, in fact it
is so interpreted, that he expects the
nazis before the court to pay the su-
preme price for their crimes.
The Star has long felt that execu-
ton, in case the defendants are found
guilty as charged, would not be the
supreme price. In the days when it
was thought that Hitler might be
brought in alive, this newspaper pro-
posed that he and his chief aides be
confined on some small island under
adequate guard to drive each other to
madness with eternal wrangling wei
who was to blame for the nazi failure.
Without Hitler, the same punishment
might not be quite as effectual as if
ne were among them, but this punish
'ment, we still believe, would be infinite
