Hurja, Crystal Gazer

There has been no end of forecasts
that the republicans will capture the
House of Representatives majority next
month but for the most part the pro-
phesies have been mere generalities.
Now comes Emil Hurja. political crvs-
tai gazer of the first two Roosevelt
administrations, with a list of probable
republican gains by states.
broadly he predicts the G. o. P.
ma. win from t~hirty-five to f~orty-six
house seats. Specifically he says that
II the republicans protect their present
seats they may gain the twenty-six
they will need for a majority in the fol-
lowing states:
Connecticut, 4; Delaware, 1; Illinois,
4; Minnesota, 2; Ohio, 8; Michigan. /:
pennsylvania, 2; California, 1; New
York, 3; Washington, 2, and Missouri,
3.
Twisting his crystal ball for a new
slant on the outlook he further listed
as Equally likely to fall into the republi-
can column:
Indiana, 1; Wisconsin, 1; West Viz
GINA, 2; Maryland, 1. and Kentucky, 1,
plus an additional two in California.
The significance Of these predictions
in that when James A. Farley was
managing President Roosevelt's cam
paigns, with Mr.. Hurja at his elbow, the
~latter's forecasts were uncannily close
to the mark.

Register Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the last day on which
residents of Wilmington and New Han
over county will have an opportunity to
register for the November election.
1t may be contended that as noml-
nation is usually equivalent to election
there is no real either to register or
vote. No greater political fallacy could
be uttered.
1t is only by voting that citizens OF
a democracy can carry out a cardinal
principle of their form Of government
Persons otherwise eligible to cast a
ballot in the forthcoming election but
who have failed to register are urged
to visit their polling places and have
their names entered on the poll books.
Otherwise they will be disqualified.
A proper appreciation of the privi-
leges enjoyed in a democracy should
end hardness among eligibles tomorrow.

Rail Rates

In the words of Julius H. Parmelee,
Director of the Bureau of Railway
Economics of the Association of Ameri-
can Railroads, "The major obligation
of the railroads to the public is to render
adequate and efficient transportation
services at reasonable rates."
That obligation has made mandatory
the application of the railroads for high
er rates which is now before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. A "rea-
sonable rate" for any commodity or
service is obviously one which will pay
expenses, permit needed Improvements,
and return a fair profit to the owners.
During the war, the abnormal in
crease in traffic enabled the railroads
to absorb higher operating expenses.
With the termination of the war, traffic
trends turned downward, but wage and
material costs continued to rise. AS a
result, under present rate structures,
the railroads will fall short of earning
the minimum net operating income
needed by about $500, 900, 900 in 1916
alone.
To quote DR.. Parmelee again, ITO

Should Know Each Other

In his address before the Kiwanis
club on Wednesday, Neil Bolton, agricul-
tural director of the Tide Water Power
Company, emphasized the need for
closer relations between farmers and
city jewellers.
One of the graver errors of our So
ciety at large has been the cleavage be-
tween these two groups of citizens.
The city man knows little or nothing
about the farmer, his problems and
needs, and by the same token the farm
er has as little knowledge of the urba-
mite.
By bridging the gap there would be
mutual advantage, not only in a bust
ness way but, what is equally important,
in fellowship.
Mr.. Bottoms position is not new It
has been recognized, particularly by
economists, for generations. But like
the weather, as Mark Twain sagely said,
nobody does anything about it, and
more's the pity as so much could be
done with little effort.
Discussing Mr.. Bottoms address We'd
nesday night, the Kiwanis board of d.
rectors offered almost as many ways
of doing something about it as there
were members present. One proposal
invites attention. 1t was to have the
chairman of the clubs agricultural com
mittee, County Agent R. W. Galphin,
invite a farmer to be his guest at each
weekly club meeting and introduce him
to members individually. Reasonably
the accompanying hand shake would
go far toward laying the foundation of
a friendship that could be valuable to
all concerned.
Definite action was not taken by the
board, but it we'll deserves to be, not
by the Kiwanians alone but all of the
city's civic clubs.

Aaly:s Homeless Millions, Bitter
At Housing Delays By Government

/ New construction began dropping
sharply in 1885, when II Duce start
ed re-shaping the country's econo-
my to his imperialistic purposes,
and ended entirely in 1941, when
he took Italy into the fighting. New
buildings in the decade provided
less than half the rooms needed
for the rapidly axpaning Italian
population = from Al, eco, 900 in
in 1881 to an estimate As, 300, 600
now.
Whatever the reasons, UNRRA's
survey indicates that $40, 900 mil
lion for repair of war-damaged
structures and $40, 900 million for
new houses.
1t cites estimates prepared at
the University of Milan which snow
that A. 900, 900 tons of lime and
cement, 1890 million bricks and
tiles, 1000, 900 cubic meters of
lumber, LOO, 900 tons of iron and
proportionate quantities of other
materials, as we'll as 1897 million
man-hours of labor, will be requir-
ed.
Big though the job is, a start
has been made.
A new organization called Casas
t"Centro Autonomo Soccorsi Al
Senzatetto,' or Autonomous Center
For Aid To the Homeless), on
which interested government agen-
cies and UNRRA are represented,
was set up last spring under Prot.
Gustavo Colonnetti, president OF
the National Council for Research
and reconstruction.
With part of 1000 million lire ap-
propriated from funds derived
from sale of UNRRA imports,
Casas reported Oct, l having re-
paired 32,843 rooms in distressed
areas, thus re-housing 81, 742 Ger.
sons.
Its program called for repair OF
400 rooms monthly for the rest
OF 1916, as well as new construc-
ton to provide 700 apartments.

providing housing for them, are
easily stirred to violence, and
violence, especially violence which
provides an acrid commentary up
on basic social and economic dis
locations, makes news.
Bloody rioting in Rome Oct. g.,
in the course of which a tide of
destruction : bent demonstrators
washed to the very door of pre-
mier Alcide de Gasperi's office,
began, said Investigators for labor
and the government alike, after a
band of "Senzatetto from a camp
in Rome's surburbs joined demons
trating public works employees.
All accounts agreed that the
homeless formed the hard cust''
of the attack on the Viminale
palace, seat of the government.
All over Italy these last few
months the like has been rare. The
day is rare which does not bring
news of an outbreak somewhere in
the country.
Now many Italians are shelter
less is anyone's guess.
The public works ministry esti-
mate that $3.50, 900 persons lost
their homes in the war which, it
says, destroyed LAS, 900 rooms,
heavily damaged 645, 400 and light
ly damaged 1925, $50.
OF the homeless, the official re-
port says, 845, 900 are ~"distressed'
sleeping outdoors, or living Il,
conditions Of severe hardship IN
camps, billets, semi : destroyed
houses or caves.
Some allied sources say they
think the governments figures are
under estimates.
But the war is not alone to
blame.
A recent UNRRA report makes
it clear that the present acute sit
uatlon is due about as much to
dead Benito Mussolini's prepare

tilities.

Plan For Festival Now

Without an angel to sponsor an
azalea festival next spring there is no
hope of holding it before 1913. The
Junior Chamber of Commerce has re-
fused to undertake the job because of
it's many commitments. H. A. Marks,
chairman of the Rotary Clubs Green
field Park Committee, has declared that
in his opinion the full beauty of the
new development along the southern
shore of the lake will not ONE before
1913 and that his group will not partic-
ipate in a festival effort before spring
of that year. Beyond making an ap-
preparation for the further beautifica-
ton of the park, now under way, the
City Council has taken no action.
There are many persons in the city,
with Doctor, W. Houston Moore, whose
work in behalf of the park and advocacy
of a 1947 festival are too we'll known
to require explanation, but only COM
mendation, who regret the postpone
ment. They believe that despite the fact
that the entire lakefront cannot be de-
veloped this year, Greenfield Park has
sufficient beauty as it is to attract
throngs of visitors during the next
azalea blooming period and with an am
phitheater for their accommodation a
water carnival would prove an additional
drawing card.
With the agencies that could put a
festival across next spring unwilling
to act, it remains only to start work
on the project for 1913. Certainly the
intervening time is sufficient for draft
ing a great program, with civic organ
cations and the city administration COM
bining in its preparation.
Doctor Moore's plan is SO attractive
and promises such fine results it would
be we'll to adopt it now and shape all
plans toward it's accomplishment. He
suggests that at an appropriate bend in
the lake front neal the Carolina Beach
highway entrance a new island be Gre
ated, by dredging the shallow water
near the shore, on which a stage should
be built and topped with an orchestra
shell. With additional dredging he
would raise the bank and surmount this
with an amphitheater.
With such a plant many types of
entertainment, in addition to a carnival
on the lake would have the best en-
vlronment possible. What a setting it
would provide for the annual harvest
festival, for example. 1t would be ideal,
too, for High School band and for
symphony orchestra concerts.
The possible rewards are so great
1t seems that Wilmington would iump
at the chance to carry out Doctor
Moore's proposal.

ings which experience has shown are
essential to maintain the strong and
efficient transportation arteries .
would require an increase in the level of
freight rates of Approximately 10 per
cent above the rates prevailing when the
war began and also at the close of the
war" By contrast, since 1889 material
costs and wages have each increased
about so per cent.

against all cancer, in adults as

Mrs. Wagar is a Life Master

most brilliant of all our players.
Her free and easy style often prov
es deceptive to her opponents. In
a recent rubber bridge game she
opened with a game bid in hearts

nothing that the opponents could
do about it.
She trumped the opening spade
lead and then led a trump, hoping
10 drop the singleton jack. When
it did not fall, she led another
trump.
Then, in that free and easy fash

clubs. Now be quite honest-would
you go in with the queen if YOU
were West? I doubt it. and West
did not; so Mrs. Wagar won with
the jack in dummy, then PLAYED
a small diamond. She finesscd the
jack, East won, and all Mrs. Waga~
had to lose on the hand was an.
other diamond.
Mrs. Wagar said she had thought
mat there was very little likelihood
OF dropping the queen BY plaving
the ace and king OF clubs. She is,
ured that if West held the queer.
In all probability he would not 90

MILADY A GAMES
