NONSTOP ONIONBALL - A
SNOWFALL rolls downaiu by the force
of gravity. The Cape Fear onion
ball is propelled by combination
of forces-Carl Render, the schools
teachers apd principals, the prizes,
and, most of all, by the age-old love
Of children to put things into the
soil and watch them grow.
Mr.. Render says ne has never
seen so much garden-enthusiasm-
and SO many onions - in his life.
But the really wonderfully part
about the whole affair is that the
children are branching out in their
gardening. Onions are fine, sure,
but why stop there?
The onionball hasn't stopped
there. We know it hasn't because

have musty scripts of ancient
military and labor censuses.
Fill Acres
And the Romans, who invented
the word, took enough censuses to
I'LL acres of archives.
To get closer to home, we see
that the first United States census
was started in 1890.
And now, right here in Whining
ton, the very latest and the most
modern census of all time is about
to start enumerating itself.
Complete Picture
This census will not only tabu-
late every living soul, from Grand
pa Ito Junior, in Wilmington but
also paint complete and conpre-
hensive picture of housing facili-
ties, labor skills and the general
economic mechanism of the city
Thus, when finished, the census
will give a panorama of the entire
city OF Wilmington without a sin
gle detail missing.
With such detailed canvas to
study, it will be possible to fore
cast just what will happen in Will
mlngton's effort to become a mod
ern industrial city. If the results
OF the census show what civic
leaders expect them to show, Will
mlngton's future as a modern in
dustrial city is virtually assured.
Hustling City
Because the census is expected
TO reveal Wilmington as progress
slve, expanding city with better
than-average housing and, best OF
all, tremendous amount of skill
ed labor.
I Civic leaders predict that when
large industries see the results Of
the census they will realize what
an ideal industrial community
Wilmington is.
And what will happen from then
on is self-evident.
Building Staff
Meanwhile. William B. Pour
nellie, director Of the census, is
rapidly building up his staff in
the Woodrow Wilson hut. He ex-
poets to have all 125 of his helpers
ready to 60 into action about April
II. -.
So, come April /, the old story
OF the census. will be unfolded
again and a new chapter added.
And the new chapter promises
to be the best one in the book.

The hearing adjourned abruptly

The members of the powerful

mittee. They quickly voted to rec
ommend that the assembly placed
the items affecting the veto on the

Nevertheless the debate already
was on in the general discussions
on the floor in which any nation
can talk about any subject, regard
less of agenda.
Jose Arce, Argentine delegate,
starting the second day of general
debate, told the delegates that the
voting system given the five great

Further, he said it is an absurd

empire, can be uninhibited about
general principles.
Almost certainly the deepest OBJ
lection to the veto arises from the
belief that the Charter, as now
written, permits a great power to
wage aggressive war. That ap-
~parently is what Mr.. Baruch has
in mind. But l believe that this is
not the true situation. For n
thing, the judgment of Nuremberg
~transcends the veto, in SO far as
any great power might invoke it
in order to wage aggressive war.
Such a wal is a crime, veto Or no
veto, for which the government
and it rulers are accountable.
For another, it is not, I believe,
true that the veto deprives the
United Nations of the right to re-
sist collectively a great power.
Those who think that have, 1 sub
NIT, overlooked Article 81 Of the
Charter, which says that
Nothing in the present
Charter shall impair the in
herent right of individual or col
lective self-defense, if an armed
attack occurs against a men,
Der of the United Nations, I'M
til the Security Council has
taken the measures necessary
to maintain international peace
and security"
If this means anything, and
surely it means a lot, the United
Nations retain the right of "col-
lective self-defense" if n Of them
is attacked, and this right con-
tinues until" the Security Council
acts. If the Security Council does
not act because OF the veto, the
collective action may, neverthe-
less, continue. For the Charter
itself says that the right Of col
lective self-defense is inherent"
No veto a abrogate an inherent
right expressly confirmed in the
Charter itself.
The conclusion, it seems to me,
is that on this point the Charter
does not need to be amended. 1t
will be sufficient to %construe it.
