Tho a1l-star game of the Tobacco State League gets I'M
derway tonight in the park of the Clinton Blues :; A large
crowd of fans are expected to overflow the small Clinton
mark to see the best players in the circuit, as selected by the
managers, perform.
What is wrong with Wilmington's Pirates? -.
This question has been asked us several times recently.
We cannot answer The Pirates seem to be a well
balanced club on paper, but, still lose games by small
MARGINS -. Often the BUGS Outhit the opposing club,
but still wind up the game on the small end OF the score
:. The fielding seems to be good, in the outfie!d
especially, with lanky Bob Skinner, young Paul Smith,
Hargrove Davis and Larry DiOrio nabbing spectacular
catches in every game.
Could it be the UNtimely hitting of the Pirates? -.
The box scores show men left on bases, eight, nine and ten
every game stranded on the paths Maybe the clutch
hitters have failed to come through in the pinches -. We
don't know what the trouble is But, all Wilmington
wants to know why the largest city in the league, with the
largest attendance, has to always see their club 60 down
in defeat, to occupy the cellar since the league started . :.
Yet, the locals have had some very bad breaks 1t just
don't add up -. Maybe you fans have some ideas what IS
wrong with the baseball club =. "Whats Cook-in" would
like to have your comments drop us a card Maybe
your ideas will help give Wilmington a better ball club.
A couple of local Pirate fans were wondering why
the fans enjoy "razzing" the local players on the Pirate
team They claim they have not missed a single
game this season and at each game the fans are loud in
their heckleing of Brittian, Lamb and Davis one
suggests, "Why not lay-off riding the players and
cheer them on"
A visiting sports writer, at the games with Clinton last
week, said, There are only two cities in the nation that
support a losing baseball team like -his-Columbus, Ohio
and Wilmington" 1t is not any fault of the fans the
Pirates are in the cellar They are given wonderful sup
port :. What is wrong? We welcome your answers to
this question We want a cross section of opinions and
will print them in this column ....

10 Hear Hawaiians on
statehood Appeal
By tn. Associated Press.

HONOLULU, Jan. IA congress
sional subcommittee called today for
the views of all Hawaiians on wheth-
er the territory should become the
49th State of the Union-and one
woman resigned as Democratic ma
tional committeewoman In order to
present more freely her emphatic
mol"
The woman, Mrs. Alice Kamokila
Campbell, said she objected to
statehood at this time because
Hawaii,s Oriental population, If 1t
voted as q bloc. could hold political
control. (More than 81 per cent of
Hawaii's 1910 population was of
japanese ancestry She said she
resigned because her party had gone
on record as favoring statehood
"and I don't want to be disloyal and
don't want to be gagged"
Proponents of statehood argue
that there never has been bloc
voting in Hawaii.
Chairman Larcade, of the House
Territorial Affairs subcommittee,
said every citizen will be given an
opportunity to be heard" at hear
ings opening today in the throne
room Of the old Iolani Palace.
Hawaiis labor, industrial and po-
litical leaders were waiting to place
the territory's bid for statehood for
mally before the committeeman.
Arriving by air with Mr.. Larcade
for the hearings were Representa-
tives Miller, Democrat, of Call
fornia; Delaney, Democrat, of New
York; Taylor, Republican, of New
York, Angel, Republican, of Oregon,
and Territorial Delegate Joseph
harrington, Republican, of Territory
of Hawaii.
Mr.. Taylor asserted in an inter-
view that Americas industrial and
commercial destiny lies in the Paci-
flc," but Statehood isn't something
that can come in a month, or six
months-because that isn't how
Congress works"

|Three-Poinf PROGRAM
For Strong Air Force
Offered by Arnold
By the Associated Press.

Saying that air power may be
the only weapon used should there
be another war;" Gen. Fl. H. Arnold
yesterday offered three-point pro-
gram for maintenance of United
States air strength.
In radio address, the chief of
Army Air Forces said that over
whelming air power, at the disposal
Of an international security coun-
Gil, is the present way to peace
and that the United States should
have top quality aviation at all
times.
1.-THE fantastic possibilities of
weapons not yet proved. not yet
fully developed" said Gen. Arnold,
may some day change the situ-
alton. But until and unless they
do, we must achieve our first
quality air power by continuing to
improve the art of war in the air.
He defined the three phases OF
his program:
Air Observation-Disclosures
OF a striking air force that the
aggressor knows can take of against
him on the notice Of minutes and
hours instead of months and years
when called upon to defend the
peace. This force is our proposed
70-group Air Force of $500 operat-
ing planes and approximately 40O,-
600 men," (Gen. Arnold's reference
was to the number of combat planes
on the flight line, in addition to
reserves and non-combat aircraft.)
Foundation of air power-The
constant and driving research that
must never flag" and an aviation in
dustry capable of rapid expansion tc
meet any demand.
Support of air power-The al,
forces need IAN minded public
to support it, to guide it and tc
people it with its sons seeking ar
honorable career in the service OF
their country"
