Atomic Control Progresses

Considering the time that has elaps-
ed since atomic power was used de-
structively, little enough has been ac-
complished in bringing the world into
agreement on its control. But at least
some progress in the right direction is
reported in what is claimed to have been
a dramatic closed meeting of the Scien-
tific and Technical Committee of the
United Nations Atomic Energy Com
mission, with the drama provided by
Russia. The Russian delegate, who had
held up approval of the committee for
some three weeks, finally agreed to the
proposed procedure, of which more anon,
as Pepys used to say.
The committee had submitted a re-
port dealing with the scientific and
technical aspects of atomic control.
When DR.. S. P. Alexandrov, the r russian
member, swung into line with his fel-
10" members, the report received unani-
nous approval. American delegates con-
slider it the first Substantial coopera-
ton" yet attained on nuclear power.
Obviously the others in the group held
the same view, although the Russian
injected a reservation" as the red
haolt IS on most United Nations de-
clslons, on the ground that the report
offers limited and incomplete informa-
tion," with the result that most of the
conclusions are Hypothetical and con-
ditionaL."
Dispatches dealing with the docu-
ment DO not contain it's text, so that
no public decision on it's conclusions
can be accurately formed, but Bernard
M. Baruch, head of the American dele
cation on the Atomic Commission, de-
clares It's acceptance a forward motion
IN our deliberations"
NOW the report must'go to the PoIiti-
cal Committee of the commission. which
IS expected to assemble for it's consid-
Grafton by the middle of next week. If
this group also approves, it may be
expected to become the basis of actual

Around-Town Truck Lane

Citv Manager Benson's declaration
before the Planning Board that he op-
poses the use of Third street as a
truck lane and that an a%round-town
route would be advantageous to oil ter
minals below the shipyard carries not
only the weight of his official standing
but also represents the best thinking OF
Wilmington's forward-looking citizen
ship.
AS Mr.. Benson said, and anyone can
verify by checking cars for a short time,
Third streets traffic load is excessive
without counting oil tankers or any
of the heavy trucks now traversing
it's length. With every truck off the
street, Third street would still be bur-
dened to it's full capacity.
By transferring the truck load to
a route via Winter Park and Bluethen-
thai airport, not only Third, but Fifth
and Market also would be relieved, to
the great comfort and convenience of
the residents on both, and the avoidance
of falling plaster and cracking window
panes now caused by the vibrations ac-
c%ompanying their passage.
MI. Benson's tacit recommendations
ought to stimulate public protest to such
a pitch that the State Highway Com
mission will find it expedient to adopt
the route he suggests.
When DR.. w. Houston Moore urged
the citizens attending the Planning
Board meeting to keep up their good
fight for a route circling the city, in
stead of passing through it, he sounded
a keynote that all Wilmingtonians
should adopt.

IT IS NOT NEW
BY u T. ELLIS

I have heard tourists in Pales-
tine exclaim over the good new
British roads not knowing that
they are the same roads that were
good when Roman chariots rolled
over them, and when Egyptian and
Assyrian armies used them as
highways. Today has merely built
upon yesterday, as always and in
all things.
Each OF us views his own ex-
periences as something new and
individual; never was sorrow like
unto my SORROW" cries the troubl-
ed soul, forgetting that this very
phrase is thousands of years old.
There is nothing that can happen
to a life that does not find fitting
expression in the Psalms. So there
is comfort in the thought that our

To Russia's Profit

Testimony has been offered at the
Pacific war crimes trial that Hitler de-
cided to invade Russia after efforts
by Won Ribbentrop had failed to bring
Russia into the war on the side Of the
neutrality-suspicious. alliance. The
United Press, in a Tokyo dispatch says:
"On March %, 1871, Nazi Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop told
the late Japanese Foreign Minister
Yosuke Matsuoka at a conference in
Berlin that negotiations with Russia
had broken down. Won Ribbentrop
added that Hitler, highly annoyed by
the Russian failure to sign, had threat
ened to 'shatter Russia if Stain did
anything further to displease him.
The dispatch adds that German
armies invaded Russia less than three
months later.
The records of Won Ribbentrop's
mission to Moscow have not been pub
licized, but it is understood that the
negotiations broke down because Stains
price in territory was greater than Hit
Ter would agree to, and that as a result
of Hitler's invasion and Russia's con-
sequent war partnership with the Wes-
tern Allies, the Soviet Union is now far
better off territorially than it would
have been by signing on with Hitler,
Mussolini and Hirohito.
This Russo-German episode is destin-
ed to make an interesting chapter in
the history of World War II when a
Bancroft or Gibbon or Hume gets
around to writing it.

WASHINGTON, Sept. q. -R-
The United States struck out Fri
day at Yugoslavia's action in bar
ring distribution of American in
formation there, charging that it
constituted a denial of the basic
freedoms for which the American
people waged val against Fascism.
In the first clearcut, postwar test
of the principle of free flow of in
formation between nations, Under
secretary of State Will Clayton de-
clared that lack of understanding
would jeopardize the chance OF
maintaining world peace.
Yugoslavia's order closing the
State departments information ser
vice in Belgrade stemmed from an
article critical of Marshal Tito's
government which the American
embassy said was reproduced on
an information service mimeograph
machine without authorization. by
an unidentified American govern
ment employe, since discharged.
Clayton, lending emphasis to his
remarks by permitting direct quot
alton, told his news conference that
the action involved 1.-The fundament-
al issue of whether the people OF
one country are to be denied &C
cess to the opinions of and infor-
nation about other people"
He formally acknowledged the
right of the Yugoslav government,
in the exercise of its sovereignty,
to close down the American In
formation service. But he added:
Nevertheless. We find it very
difficult to believe that it really
means to deny to its people the
basic freedoms for which the
American people, with their allies,
undertook the war against Fas-
cism.''
In solemn tones, he said that was
the real issue involved''- that
it was not the harrow issue of a
reading room in Belgrade which
has drawn Yugoslav criticism be-
cause it was open to the general
public.
1T is" he said, 1.-The fundamental
issue of whether the people of one
country are to be denied access to
the opinions of and information
about other people.

WASHINGTON, - A recent law
changes some of the rules govern
in g%veterans' on-the-job training
programs. The Veterans Admins
tration has ordered its offices
throughout the country to start put
ting the new law into effect as soon
as possible, so that by Jan. /, 1947,
no veteran will be receiving SUBJ
sistence allowances for a course
which does not meet the new re-
quirements.
All veterans now in on the
program will have their courses
surveyed, to determine whether
they belong in the apprentice
training program or the on-the-job
training program. If his course
qualities as one or the other, the
veteran may continue in it with
out further immediate investiga-
ton.
Veterans enrolled in on-the job
courses will not be taken out of
training while courses are being
studied. If the training establish

new law vas signed, Aug. 8, the
veteran ill be allowed to con-
tinue in it until the state reaftirms
or withdraWs its approval or until
the VA regional office officially
determines that the course does
not meet the c~riteria set by Con-
gress.

training establishments which al

directly with state approving

Queries should be sent to the state,

The VA definition of apprentice

the courses supervised by federal
and state apprentice agencies, but
also courses leading to an occupa-
ton that requires the use of skills
learned through training on the job

Maybe Dog Meat Next

Nobody, least of all President Tru-
man knows for sure what's the matter
with the meat situation. But II some
body doesn't do something about it
soon We'll be killing dogs and feastlng
on their spare ribs, in the good old
Indian manner when wild game was
scarce.
When the President says there Will
be "greater quantity and better quality
of meat in the near FUTURE" he may
have secret information to justify the
forecast, but so far as can be seen oy
the common man, poor sucker, the
quality is steadily deterioratlng, as
heavy sales of horse meat are made
in New York and others Of the larger
cities.
The Chief Executives prophesy also
appears to contradict a statement IN an
Agriculture Department report to the
effect that hog marketlngs are the
lowest in modern times and although
marketings of cattle rose IS per cent
last week most of the cattle were unfit
for slaughter and were resold to feed
lots to be attended for next year. Next
year may be "in the near future" in
some important matters-the restora-
ton of peace, for example,-but it is
certainly a long way off so far as meat
is concerned.
There is a great variety Of opinions
in official circles concerning the situa-
ton. Perhaps Mrs. Lennard Thomas,
Democratic National-C Committee woman
from Alabama, comes as near the real
explanation as anyone. She says, The
whole thing is POLITICAL"
Senator Green of Rhode Island
thinks the scarcity stems from a meat
producers strike. Senator Mead, who
looks covetously toward the Governors
Mansion in Albany, believes that if
there is a conspiracy among the Dig
packers they should be exposed, and
adds that government agencies should
"take immediate action" Paul Porter,
price administrator, declares suspension
of controls would only make matters
worse. On the other hand Representa-
tive SABBATH claims the packers are
creating an artificial shortage to build
up sentiment for removing controls.
There seems to be some predisposi-
ton in Washington to put the blame on
the packers and whitewash the admins
~tration. Retail butchers and house
wives would sing the praises, with
good reason, of anybody who can &C
curately diagnose the trouble and ap-
ply the remedy.

BILE. She plays and wins against
the best. l recall that she wrecked
her opponents on the rocks of dis
tribution when they doubled her
at four spades on today's hand.
East refused to go up with the
ace of diamonds on the opening
lead, and Vera Won with the king.
West having doubled four hearts,
she led a small heart and finessed
dummy's queen. East had doubled
four spades-so Vera led a small
spade. East went up with the C
and laid down the ace of diamonds
too late. Vera trumped with the
four of spades, dropping the queen
and jack together.
A small heart to tn eace picked
up all of the adverse hearts, so
the four of hearts back to her hand
allowed her to discard dummy's
two clubs. so that her losing club
could be trumped in dummy. Thus
the only trick she lost was the
ace of trumps.

had made a bad double. as they
should have known that South

certainly knew 1t when the play
