home for Elmer, a genteel skunk
with polished claws and a sWeetly
perfumed coat.
Mrs. Josephine Rutson, the leagues

have experience in caring for a
skunk.
Sergt. Earl Cumnins left Elmer at

More Ships

The role formerly assigned to the
North Carolina Shipbuilding Company
of operating as a repair and recondi-
tioning plant for Maritime Commission
ships and servicing vessels making this
port. is materially increased by the
proposal to maintain the yard not only
for these uses but also for continued
construction.
The Maritime Commission is under
stood to contemplate building "at least
twenty" more ships. AS this will be the
only war-built yard on the Atlantic
coast to be retained, along with two
on the Pacific coast, it is obvious that
Wilmington will get It's share OF what
ever number of new craft the Commits
sion finally determines to build.
!. Clearly it is up to the people of the
city and vicinity to turn their minds
away from thoughts of the yards su-
spension and concentrate upon means
they may employ to keep it here as a
leading industry far into the future.

anxious that you who listen to him
realize the tremendous importance
Of the news he's telling you about.
His shoulders pump up and down,
he gesticulates, he raises and low
ers his voice like a guy giving
you the real low down. He does,
in fact, pull out all the stops on
his vocal organs. His tremendous
intensity impressed the students,
made them realize just how many
things go into making up a radio
broadcast.
And then when Jack Baldwin
took over for his half-minute say
all the students seemed to pull for
Jack not to flub a line. AS a mat
ter of fact, considering that he
hadn't had any previous training,
Jack did an excellent, almost pro-
fessional job, of his little talk.
The microphone scares most
broadcasters, even the old timers,
pretty much. But Jack picked UP
and carried on like a veteran.
The picture-taking of Mr.. Hope,
Star-News editor-in-chief, and Bar
bara Sternberger, Wildcat editor
in-chief for the first semester, and
Jack Baldwin interested me, too.
I wondered if, during the brief
moment Pete Knight was flashing
the trio, the Boss didn't let his
mind 60 racing back over the
years when he was first plotting
his career as a newspaper man.
And if Mr.. Baldwin and Miss Stern
berger mightn't be in the same
position some years hence when
they would lend a helping hand
to some youngsters who wanted to
potter in printers ink.
And you can't ever tell what'u
happen to those % students. Some
day, if I live long enough, one of
them might be my boss. I've sim
ply got to remember to be nice

Love Feast

What promised to become an inter-
national quarrel turned into love feast
when Russia withdrew its complaint
against British troops in Greece. The
United Nations Security Council, which
had been boiling for some days, SIM
mered down forthwith and dubbed
over with fellowship. The compromise
drafted by Edward Stettinus was ap-
proved and the British Foreign Minis
ter Ernest Bevin and the Russian dele
gate, Vice Commissar Andrei Vishinsky,
shook hands before the camera. APP
parently it was a splendid exhibition
of diplomatic expediency.
But it would be catastrophe to let
the matter end there. Britain's inter-
ference in Greece is still questionable
in the opinion of many persons in high
position in both countries. The whole
situation merits review, not in the heck
ing form flrst used by the Russians,
but in sober effort to learn what will
be best for the Greek people and gov
eminent
Also, the presence of Russian troops
in north Iran ought to have similar
treatment. Neither of these situations
can be satisfactorily settled for the
future by having delegates smile sweet
ly for the photographers.
Russia is to be commended for yield
ing gracefully on the Greek issue. Rus.
STA may be prepared to yield as grace.
fully on the Iranian issue. The Council
however, will not have completed its
first major task successfully until com
plete understanding among the mem
bership has been achieved.

Americas Gard Authority

In Memphis, Tenn, recently,
John D. Bibb, of Admission, Ala,
gave me couple of pretty squeeze
hands that came up during the
New Orleans tournament. In to-
days hand Bibb was using the
Blackwood four-five no trump con-
Ventlon, and when he located the
ace and king of clubs in his part
ner's hand, he knew he ought to
nave a good play for seven no
trump. However. it took a double
squeeze to make the contract.
Blbb won the opening lead with
the diamond king and ran the five
heart tricks, discarding two dia.
monds from his own hand He
then cashed the king and queen OF
spades and ace of diamonds
When he played the ace of spades.
East had to hol dthe jack of dia-
monds and therefore had to let 90
a club. West could not protect the
spade suit and the clubs. Now
the location Of the queen of clubs
did not matter. All Bibb had to
do was to cash out the clubs for
the balance Of the tricks.

Food For The Starving

President Truman's proposal for
"informal rationing" of food in order
that the crops of the United States may
be more literally distributed abroad,
where famine is an actual menace to the
survival of peoples whose work and
fitness are essential to world security
is something that should have been in
stituted some years ago In this coun-
try, instead of the OPA.
1t might not have prevented black
markets but certainly would have pre-
vented outright prosecutions practic-
ed by that bureau and Individually
would have avoided the tremendous
wastage Of foods that was one Of the
outstanding characteristics of that Or
ganization's misrule.
Instead of the shortages Intentional
ly created on the theory that if the
people couldn't eat as usual they would
become more war-minded, the law of
supply and demand, with merchants
doing out their stocks in trade on an
equitable basis, would have prevailed
with every family having well-provid-
ed table. The people Of the United
States were the victims, not so much
of inadequate food production as of
OPA dictation.
Now that there is need to share with
the starving peoples Of the world the
food, especially the grain products, that
will save perhaps millions from starva-
ton, it is gratifying to find the Presi-
dent using a term which is the direct
opposite of OPA directives rules, domi-
nation and punishment. Informal ra-
tioning certainly ought to be enough
to insure the shipment abroad of a
fair share of this nations grain supply

Town-Reporter broadcast. First
off, Jack Baldwin, editor-in-chiet
Of the Wildcat this semester, was
asked to say 4 few words on the
program.
Now, as you probably know,
radio broadcasts are not spon-
taneous affairs. Mr.. Mcdonald
tells me that the normal hour
broadcast requires about 60 pre-
vious hours of preparation. So,
prior to yesterdays broadcast, he
took Jack aside and briefed him
in the ways Of the microphone.
The incest little touch about the
whole thing, l thought, was the
fact that somebody in the group,
when they heard that Jack was
going to say a few words, thought
about calling Jacks mother to tell
her about it so she could listen in.
When the group gathered in the
room from which Mr.. Mcdonald
broadcasts you really could have
heard a pin drop. I thought then
that maybe Mrs. Symmes would
like to teach her class in a broad
cast room. The attention was per-
feet.
But when Mr.. Mcdonald went on
the air that was when the students
became really interested. Mr..

A Knotty Problem

"A
That maligned member of organized
society, the common man, realizes that
the manufacture and use of atomic
bombs in the closing stage of the Pacific
war created threat to mortal life in
general. He also knows that the energy
which was used in those bombs might
also be used for the purposes of peace,
and as the one has revolutionized war
fare so the other is capable of revolu-
tionizing industrial production, especi-
ally the means of communication.
He hears or reads what the scien-
lists say about applying atomic power
for the benefit of mankind. But what
puzzles him is how it will be possible
successfully to outlaw the atomic bomb
and restrict the use Of atomic power
to non-warlike purposes.
He learns that most of the scientists
and all the optimists favor peaceful
employment Of atomic energy, but he
would like also to know how it's uni
versal use, no less than universal knowl-
edge of the means of developing it, can
possibly prevent its secret manufacture
into bombs particularly by some later
Hitler who sets out to conquer the
world.
He is familiar, through his news
papers and magazines, for the common
man is quite a reader, with the belief
that this country has the edge on other
nations in possessing the know-how of
atomic bomb making and expects to
hold that edge for at least five years
and perhaps a decade. But he wonders
what can be done to prevent other ma
tons which learn the secret from accu-
mulating a supply Of bombs equal to

the purpose of drafting a program for

world from another war. Their aim
is to put teeth into the peace, teeth that

common man is following the commit
tees proceedings to learn just how it
proposes to prevent use of atomic
bombs anywhere in the world for the
destruction of life in war and at the
same time permit the bombs energy
to be used for the purpose of peace.

THE DAYS REAL BATTLE
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Two big ideas are locked in
battle all over today's world.
have seen them in action in four
national revolutions.
The first is, in varying forms,
'the dictatorship of the prole.
tariat," as the Russian phrase has
it. More or less under this banner,
is the universal labor unrest, and,
in many places, the real revolt OF
the masses. He is an undiscerning
man who underestimate the
gravity and portentousness Of the
activity of the days wage earners.
Second is the capitalist concep-
ton Of economy. Because of it's
wealth and brains and executive
ability, it has led in the achieve
ment of the wonders of the indus
trial age. 1t claims a monopoly
upon leadership - and rewards. At
its worst it is oppression; at it's
best, it foresees a deep social con-
seriousness and patriotic re-
sponsibility.
But the two forces are in con-
flict. They constitute our genera
TONS real war. How may they be
reconciled? What substitute can be
found for their class conscious
ness?
Religion has the answer. When
both groups subordinate their pres
ent descriptive allegianc to
Christ's leadership, in a life of
common brotherhood, then caste
loyalty will be supplanted by zeal
for the Kingdom of Heaven on
earth. With one Master Loyalty
served, the two groups will dis
cover themselves as brothers, with
common interest.
Father of us all, forgive our sin
OF selfishness, and lead us into a
life of loyalty to Jesus Christ that
will transcend all of DIR lesser
loyalties. Amen.
