Expert Advice Needed

The decision to call in a consulting
ngineer especially skilled in drainage
) a step in the right direction. Even
the excessive rainfall of last week
hould not be repeated in the lear fut-
re, it has been apparent for a long time
hat Wilmington's drainage is made
uate. An hours downpour Invariably
reates lakes in low sections and, what
) particularly regrettable and expen-
i've for home owners in the affected
rees, flood cellars, in many cases faster
har pumps can carry off the seepage.
1t is reported that when Burnt Mill
reek was at its worst its overflow
cared Borden venue. Now, with no
eavy downpour for several days, pumps
re still in use in numerous cellars.
The situation at Winter Park is de-
lorable. The damage at Carolina Beach
rom last weeks flood is conservatively
stimated at $4,000. It may mount
bove that when repairs are started.
While the proposal to seek expert
ounsel eminates from the City Coun-
il, through City Manager Benson, it
lust be obvious that the drainage prob
m is countrywide and for that reason
he search for a solution should be a
pint undertaking of the city and county
overnments.

Asiatic problems receive SO little
attention in the Ilo."
He suggested two remedies: Cd
That Asiatics be included in the
higher direction OF hte lilo, and
(2)That the LILO arrange regional
conferences, including one for the
Asiatic countries.
The government of India already
has invited the LILO to hold an
Asiatic conference in India.
Birla said that although India
has a permanent seat among the
government delegates on the gov
erning body of ILC and employers
had agreed to two delegates from
Asiatic countries, Indian labor,
the best organized labor group out
side Europe Or North America,
failed to get it's representative
elected to the governing body, while
a country like Mexico, which we
understand was in with
her contributions, managed to
secure seats"
Asia, with more than half the
worlds population, has only five
seats on the governing body Of

has y seats, the Americas II,
Africa two and Australia two.

Attitude
BY T.. ELLIS

Many a busy mother, whose
dearest desire is for rest, will read
these lines. Her every hour is
filled with tasks and cares. Feet
and back and mind and heart
grow weary of endless work. How
these tired mothers envy the wom-
an with nothing to do.
They would not if they really
knew the loneliness and bitterness
and emptiness of the lives Of Wom-
en- who have nobody depending
upon them for service. There are
myriads of women whose chief
task is to kill time" No children
run to them with their troubles;
no husbands look to them for COM
fort; no households need their
ministry.
All, mothers! Thank God for
loves tasks; which all too soon
will be life's dearest memories.
We pray for the mothers of men
everywhere, many of them sorely
over-bourne with labor. May they
know the comfort of the Son of
Mary. Amen.

Hartman Succeeds Wallace

President TrUman's selection OF a
successor to Henry Wallace for Secre-
tary of Commerce appears a happy one
on at least four counts.
Mr.. Hartman has been successful
in business, which indicates that he
possesses executive and administrative
talent. both of which are essential to
the proper conduct Of the Commerce
Department.
In the second place he has had a
closeup view of conditions in Russia
and affairs in Moscow, as United States
Ambassador to the Soviet Union. His
remarks on the Russian situation are
h~eartening. In a statement prior to his
selection for the Cabinet post vacated
by Mr.. Wallace on request of MIR. Tru-
man, he wisely declared that we agree
Russia is entitled to security, "But -.
l still hope Russia will accept as we
have, that the chief hope of the world
is in collective security through the
United Nations organization"
Thirdly, as present Ambassador to
the Court of St. James, Mr.. Hartman
is we'll versed in Britain's position and
the close affiliation of London and
Washington. While there are many
matters on which the two capitals can
not get together, fundamentally the
English speaking peoples constitute a
unit in world affairs, and not separate
Identities. This has nothing to do with
spheres of influence but the collective
security" Mr.. Hartman emphasized in
the statement quoted above.
In the fourth place, we should say
his experience as Lend-Lease admins
traitor for two years in London and
his presence at notable conferences be-
tween President Roosevelt and the then
British Prime Minister, Winston
Churchill, will be invaluable not only
in his departmental activities but in
Cabinet conferences.
AS the Senate unanimously confirm
ed his nomination for the post of Am
bassador to Great Britain, it is to be
expected that upon reassembling in
January that august group will take the
same action on his nomination for the
new post to which the President has
called him by interim appointment.

Pressing Need For Cars

The magnificent job done by the ma
ions railroads during the war played
n important, literally a vital, part in
he final victory. They so far surpassed
heir normal transportation capacity
hat their achievement will be recognize
d as a potent factor in the defeat of
9th the European and the Oriental
nemles when the complete history of
he conflict is finally written. When
yer they were told they must perform
n impossible task they found ways to
0 it.
But the cost was terrific. Rolling
took wore out. Repairs were all but
impossible. Still they kept on, carrying
Military personnel and the tools of war
4 unprecedented volume. By hook and
y crook they kept their trains moving.
Now they face an even greater task
replacing the rolling stock that is I'M
sable and without which they cannot
ope to meet normal demands upon
heir service. The Wall Street Journal
uts their plight this way: Freight
rains are dying. Old age and war
atigue is killing them. And the box
ar birth rate is a pitiful fraction of
replacement needs"
The immediate need, says the Jour
al, is for 10000 new freight cars.
hus far in 1916, production has reach
d only $4,000. AS a result, October

The bidding that Samuel Katz
of Millburn, N. j., employed on
today's hand helped him win the
masters mixed team : of = four
championship with Mr.. and Mrs.
Bertram Lebhar, j., Of New
Rochelle, N. Y, and Mrs. Ralph
Kempner of Chicago.
The first round of bidding was
normal, but when North bid three
spades on the second round, Katz
knew he was not going to have
a chance to take a good spade
sacrifice against a game contract.
The opponents were going to get
into a slam, and he wanted to
defeat it.
He was safe enough in bidding
four diamonds; if it were doubled,
he could 60 to four spades. He
was not worried when West
passed the four diamond bid, be-
cause he knew that his vulnerable
opponents could not afford to let
him play the hand at diamonds
and 60 down so points per trick.
North probably should have been
satisfied with a bid of five clubs,
but he was afraid he vas being
talked out of something and
plunged to six clubs.
West made the correct opening
lead. which Katz trumped, and his
ace of trumps was the setting
trick.
Contract is really two games,
a bidding game and a playing
game. Bidding strategy can be
lust as interesting as the play of
the most intricate hand.

and what is needed to right the wrong
might be possible.
AS the situation now stands, no &C
curate diagnosis can be given, and no
remedy applied.
By all means let the truth, the full
truth, be made known. Otherwise
northern China is all too liable to strike
the spark that will set off another war.

Rail Strike Tie-Up Paralyzes Nation

WASHINGTON, May 24, -(P)- With the country tied up by a natiOn-W wide Walk-out in all rail way industries, President Truman called a meeting for three pm. in the Whitehouse with top Cab inet Labor advisers to canvass "the whole strike situation"
 Presidentian Secretary Ross, who made the announcement, des- cribed the meetings purpose, when asked whether it concerned the coal or rail strike.
 The Presidential m d a tors worked feverishly to bring the carriers and striking workers in to agreement ending the paralyz- ing rail strike. There is a growing urgency fed by the accumulation of reports of impending food shortages and vast unemployment reflected in WhitehOuse circles.
 Postmaster General Hannegan told reporters after a ninety-min- ute Cabinet meeting We discuss ed strikes and nothing but strikes and did so emphatically, and in tensely that Presidential labor ad- wiser, John Steelman, talked to leaders of the striking trainmen and engineers, and then met rep resentatives of the carriers as neg citations were formally resumed in the Statler Hotel after a fruit less session in the Whitehouse yesterday, while the Senate de- dates labor disputes legislation, the House Labor Committee ord cred investigation of the indust- rial unrest.

O.P.A. Executive Testifies I'm Rate
 Maritime Hearing

WASHINGTON, May 24,-(P)- An increase of one hundred per cent in the rates of the Alaska steamship lines would add ten million dollars to the annual freight cost to Alaska businesses and consumers would have to pay, Donald O'Connor, OPA official, 'told in the Maritime Commission hearing in Washington.
 O'Connor is the Price Executive fof the Territories and Possess ions and gave his estimate dur ing questioning by Attorney Gen eral Ralph Rivers.
 The Alaska Steamship Company originally asked for one hundred percent increase to meet condit- ions when the fleets are now oper- ated by the War Shipping Admin iyration, and were returned to them.
 O'COnnor was one of the chief witnesses at the hearing on VISA application for increased rates to Alaska.
 Ira EWers, counsel for the Al Aaska Steamship Company, and Albert Stephan, counsel for the Alaska Transportation Company, croSs-examined O'Connor on his testimony that the book value of their ships had depreciated to two million one hundred forty thousand Stephan contended the company didn't include any ghost ships in it's compilation of data to justify the requested increases as O'Connor claimed.
