TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY
TRIES HOLDUP WITH
TWO TOY PISTOLS

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-P)-A 10.
year-old boy, small for his age,
was held by police as a juvenile
delinquent today after attempting
to rob a hotel dining room, wild
west style, with two toy pistols.
Blond and dirty-faced, he stalk.
ed into the 16-story hotel with a
toy pistol in either hand. When he
approached the desk of Miss Rem.
ME Diamond, who had been CASH
Ter in the dining room only week,
he slammed one pistol on the desk
and shouted "this is a stickup. :"
The cashier jumped back in
establishment and as she did so the
boy grabbed $22 out Of the cash
drawer and stuck it in his pockets.
Just then waitress, Miss Mona
Smith, came over to the desk, pat
ted the boy on the head and asked
the cashier: 'This your little boy,
ma amp"
"Cut that out!" cried the boy,
turiously. This is stick-up."
He jam1ned a pistol into Miss
Smiths side. She shook him by the
shoulders until both pistols drop
ped to the floor, one breaking into
four pieces.
When police came they recover
ed the $22 and sent the boy to the
city Youth Center as delinquent.

Russian Loan

The Soviet Union still lets it be
known that an American loan of some
six billion dollars would be acceptable.
There has been no formal request for it,
but the word is passed from mouth to
ear here and there in the hope it will
lodge ultimately in the Treasury and
find endorsement at the White House
and in the State Department.
There are two good reasons why a
deaf ear should be turned to the rumor,
if it should eventually emerge as a
definite request. One is that the Soviet
Union is not in the habit of revealing
it's economic status or resources. The
other is that it has not become party
to the Breton Woods agreement, which
is the accepted instrument among most
United Nations for the rehabilitation,
financially and economically, of Ma
lions sorely beset by war losses.
A borrower going to his bank for a
loan must present an accurate account
of his debts and assets and prospects.
Without these before him no bank
executive would be justified in making
a loan involving large amount Of
money. The Soviet Union certainly
could not hope to be treated differently.
The Congress of the United States,
which in this case would be the equiva-
lent of a banks board of directors,
certainly would not approve such loan
unless it had a complete statement of
Russia's situation before it.
On the other hand, the bulk of the
United Nations having set up the Bret
ton Woods agreement for the very pur-
pose Russia would want the aforesaid
loan, it is not probable that it's COVER
nors or administrative board would
make an exception in it's favor as long

Street Names

Ordinarily the remaining of streets
creates confusion and dissatisfaction.
Out in Seattle some of the old resi-.
dents after half century are still quar-
reling over changes no more significant
than the substitution of avenue for
street. And when Front street became
First avenue one would have thought
the city was ruined.
Because this is SO widely the ex-
perience among American cities, it is
noted with trepidation that the City
Council is liable to consider new names
for streets in the eastern and southern
areas recently brought into the city.
If there must be changes, the Coun-
Gil would find it's lot easier, we ween,
if it made them only where duplicates,
if any, exist.
AS tip, the Star has heard lusty
protests to it's recent proposal that a
new name be found for Niger Head
road.

European regional headquarters.

European regional headquarters.
Chief opponent to Geneva was
Russia. One reason was that the
Soviet Union has no relations with
Switzerland. Another was I'm
doubtedly that one of the last acts
Of the league was to condemn
Russia as an aggressor for hel
attack on Finland. Russia was the
only country ever expelled from
the league.
Delegates to the league during
its last days did little but &c
through the motions of condemning
aggression. Economic sanctions
had proved unavoidable against
Italy because even the league mem.
bers did not apply them.
So through the late thirties the
delegates played golf by day and
gossiped by night, leaving their
assistants to attend all but the big
meetings. One afternoon in 1898
I sat in a meeting of the disarma.
ment conference at which little OF
the proceedings could be heard;
the Swiss Army planes on patrol
along the border of belligerent
France made too much noise. Next
day I left for Munich, where Hit
Ter dictated to Chamberlain and
Daladier while Goering, chief OF
the powerful Luftwaffe, laughed
scornfully over his beer.
The Luftwaffe is powerful no
longer and its commander sits
with Nuernberg's war criminals.
They face the justice of the victor
powers who are now striving to
force something better than Gene
va feeble league to cruh ag-
gression before there can be any
war criminals.
The memories of Munich, Gene
va and many another European
international conference, voluntary
Or obligatory, were undoubtedly
on the minds of the delegates to
the preparatory meeting in Lon
don this winter who were to
choose home for the UN.
BY a narrow margin they re-
jected a proposal to establish the
headquarters in Europe, decided
to make the U. S. their home, That
emphasized one great strength of
the new UN over the old league.
Wilson summoned the first
league assembly, to meet in Gene
va. Fortyone states sent dele
gates, but the U. S. did not.
This time the u. S. is not only
in the new organization but plays
a leading part.

Time for Sanatoriu1n

The need for a tuberculosis sana.

forum was closed by the encroachment
of the Army airport, and the presence
of tuberculosis due to unsatisfactory
housing and living accommodations dur.
ING the war cannot fail to be sorrowed
|by what the map shows. The war Sc
recently ended levied heavy toll upon
the county's population. Nor can the
toll be halted until haven is provided
where persons, particularly those in the
early stages Of the disease, can be iso.
lated and given the prolonged rest 50
essential for their relief.
The Association has put forth its
best efforts and used it's strongest in.
fluence to have victims placed in other
sanatoria, but all are so heavily burden.
ed that many have not been able to
get in. The best that can be done in
these circumstances is to provide such
treatment as is possible at home and
to encourage other members Of the
household to keep out of the sick room.
The time is not far distant when
building materials will again be avail
able. With appropriate action by the
County Board of Commissioners, in the
calling of a bond election for it's financ-
ing, sanatorium may be constructed
and every patient cared for in the most
modern and best approved quarters
known to medical. science. When it is
built, New Hanover county will be able
to arrest the disease among many pa
tients and ultimately restore them to
useful and gainful activities.
With the year upon which the world
depends to restore large part of nor
NAL living already here, and the county
administration naturally considering its
policies with the same end in view, it is
only reasonable to hope the Commission
will take the necessary action to create
a tuberculosis sanatorium within its
jurisdiction.

McC arran Charges

Senator McCarran of Nevada charges
shameful abuses of martial law and
demands an investigation by special
congressional committee.
IF half of what l hear is true" he
says, 'some people wearing chevrons
should be wearing stripes" He refuses
to be more specific on the ground that
if he revealed any of his information in
advance ut would be smothered up
and am not going to let anything be
smothered up"
Senator McCarran is chairman of the
judiciary committee. He may use res
olution already presented by Senator
Morse of Oregon as the vehicle for his
inquiry. The resolution calls for probe
of Army and Navy courts martial by a
special committee of three members
from the judiciary, the naval and the
military committees.
When asked if his complaint was
against the methods employed in lock-
ing persons up, he replied that it goes
much deeper than that, particularly
while martial law was in effect in
Hawaii.
While the Senator from Nevada is
too vague in the interview at Washing
ton with United Press Correspondent
James E. Roper, to arouse deep public
interest, the Army and the Navy should
welcome his investigation on behalf of
their own fair name. If officers in eth
er branch exceeded their authority in
Hawaii or elsewhere and can be proved
guilty of Shameful abuses" neither the
War nor the Navy Departments can fail
to aid in an inquiry.
Certainly it Isl not the practice of
either branch of the military establish
ment to condone misconduct by courts
martial or fail to impose proper punish
ment upon offending officers. Secre-
taries Patterson and Forrestal would
be the first to support Senator McCar.
rams inquiry, and produce the records
Of their departments for his help.
