Man Of Action

Notice has been given in the daily
press of the city's purchase of the
Sunset Park water service from the
Gholston interests. Certain pertinent
facts in connection with the transac-
ton and subsequent operations, how
ever, have been largely ignored.
AS this is among the most impor-
tant deals concluded for n of the
suburban areas annexed by action of
the voters at the polls it is fitting that
certain phases be now revealed and
credit given where it is due.
The sale, for one thing, which had
hung fire altogether too long, was
completed shortly after J. R. Benson
took over as acting city manager in
addition to his duties as city clerk.
Furthermore, when he learned that Mr..
Gholston had some four hundred-odd
new meters already delivered, and pro-
posed to return them to the manufac-
turer, Mr.. Benson Immediately bought
them and, because Mr.. Gholston was
familiar with the connections to be
made, employed him to install them.
AS a result, water connections in
Sunset Park are being made at a more
rapid rate than anyone had thought
possible. The title "acting" city man
ager, which ordinarily implies a tenn
porary arrangement, in this case is
peculiarly appropriate, but for another
reason. Mr.. Benson obviously is a man
of action.

Ought To Uni0nize

Not to be outdone by union labor.
a Joint congressional committee recon-
mends a so per cent increase in salaries
for senators and experimentation
$4,000 to $4,000 a year - at least
one assistant to u around and knock
at doors, three months vacations with
pay and a retirement system under
which feeble old members would be
kicked out at the age of sixty-two.
1t is not noted that the committees
report also proposes to %unionize the
members, but as that is the prevailing
custom and extraordinarily successful
IN getting wage increases it may be
taken for granted that this will be
done. For while Congress is the law
making body of the government, it
doesn't stand very high in labor's
opinion and certainly could not count
on union support in it's w~age-raising
crusade, nor expect a law boosting
members pay to be declared constitu-
tional by the Supreme Court or even
get past the Wal Labor Board.
They could call themselves the
Amalgamated Lawmakers Union, and

doing on all coal mined, and if work

There was, in this edition of the
Star-NeWs, no hint of the present
inflated prices. Over on the CLASH
fled pages I find you could have
purchased a seven-room concrete
bungalow in Audubon for $3.50 and
a six-room place in Sunset Park
for So, 300. The classified section
was filled with Houses for Sale"
ads and they all seemed 3 be
moderately priced.
In this one issue there were g
apartments advertised for rent and
a Wrightsville telephone number
begged you to call it for fruit cakes
and several Eating Places" asked
you to come out and eat "the best

steaks, chicken, and shrimps."
A local real estate firm offered
homesites in the following places
and at the following prices: Olean-
der, $3.50, 90; Pineywoods, $3O6. 90;
Princess Place, $45O.O 90; Audubon,
$4,000; and Wrightsville Beach,
$4,000 Another offered lots in
New Forest Hills for $500. 90.
Furthermore, the Tide Water
Power company asked you, via a
large display advertisement, to
come around and buy a gas cook
stove on easy terms and convenient
monthly payments.
On the sports page you learned
that Duke had defeated State at
football the previous day by a
score of AZ to 6 and that Carolina

BY JOHN SKIES

Somebody left a Star-News of
Sunday, Nov. "a, 1910, on my desk
yesterday. There must have been
some reason for it, but the cuff on
which I keep my notes has been
thoroughly turned in and out and I
can't find anything to point to the
significance of this particular is
sue, going on six years old.
1t could be one of those this-is-
where-I-came-in things. Because
the editorial page cartoon depicts
John L. Lewis in one of his sulky
moods with Uncle Sam, dressed in
overalls, saying "Pulleez" to him.
However, that is such an old story
I'm sure nobody would have
brought me the edition just to re-
mind me that Mr.. Lewis sulkiness
of last week wasn't anything new.
Being ever willing to oblige and
fearful lest something in this parti-
cular issue was of such significance
as to warrant passing along to you,
let pick out a few items from the
headlines and hope that we hit up
on the n the person bringing the
paper wanted us to hit.
The top headline on Page l re-
veals that The Severance, a ship
which has been in the controversial
limelight for the past five or so
years, rammed the Cape Fear
river bridge and sank by the bow.
The secondary play, as we boys in
the newsroom call it, was given
over to the fact that Greeks Split
Retreating Roman Army in Two"
Since this was only nearly six years
ago, the headline writer obviously
was talking about the Italians in
their tussle with the Greeks and
not about anything of Julius
Caesars day.
Skipping around over the head
lines On the same page I find that
the Army base - proposed train
ing center at Holly Ridge - is
not considered dangerous here and
that fishermen should not be
afraid. The Duce - remember

change his attack in Albania. Ad-
miral Leahy was named envoy to

Oswald Jacoby played against his

at Detroit. Jacoby's play made the
contract although, McGhee said,
it could have been defeated.
Jacoby came out of the Navy
recently with the rank of lieu

returned to active participation in
bridge tournaments.
1t was interesting to find him
bidding a spade on a three-card
spade suit. He took the finesse on
the first club trick and South won
with the king, returning a club
which was won in dummy with
the ace.
The jack of diamonds was led,
South put up the queen, Jacoby
played the ace and North trumped
with the eight of spades. A club
was returned, Jacoby ruffed,
cashed the jack of spades, then

Pepper Needs Sailing Down

Senator Pepper of Florida, as a
means of stopping the growing gap
between London and Washington on the
one side and MOSCOW on the other,
now proposes another Big Three ses-
sion, obviously with the idea that such
a gathering could be conducted as a
three-cornered love feast. President
Truman, Premier Attlee of Great Bri-
tain, and Premier Stain of the Soviet
Union, according to Peppers reason
ing, should meet and compose all diff
~ferences, with a statement thereafter
that a united policy for world peace
had been formulated.
The reasoning is in line with the
Senator's mental limitations. It is not
surprising that a group of Floridians
should be considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of bringing impeachment charges
against their voluble and irrepressible
solon.
The fact is, there is ample reason
to doubt that any member of the Big
Three could act for their nations with a
free hand.
Certainly Mr.. Truman could not do
so. The labor unions have him in the
dog house. 1t seemed possible that he
might break his leash in settling the
strike on the railroads but whatever
help his action then might have pro-
duced was suddenly ~dissipated by his
compromise-his virtual surrender
to John L. Lewis.
There is reason enough to assume
that Stain is not the actual ruler of
Russia, despite his title of premier, and
his selection as dictator. Anything he
might attempt to do, if as he says
he is genuinely concerned for the re-
establishment of world peace, obvious
ly would be revised to suit the wishes
of the Russian Army. Also, it has
been made clear that Russia has no
intention of co~nsenting to any peace
proposals which would place a limit
upon her widening sphere of influence,
if not complete domination.
If Premier Attlee is less of a figure
head than the other two, it is.not ap-
parent in his official conduct. Labor
in England is as powerful as in the
United States, with the additional ad-
vantage of having control of the gov
eminent.
What good, then, could another
meeting of the Big Three accomplish?
Senator Pepper is as far out of plumb
in this proposal as is Henry Wallace
in all of his propositions.

There can be no objection to the
use of window stills anywhere for the
display of growing flowers. Rather,
it is to be encouraged. The splash of
color they add to otherwise drab vistas
is a welcome relief. But the police are
justified in requiring everybody to
make sure their displays are secure,
in the interest of the public safety.
