Veteran, Express Yourself

Veteran, Express Yourself
Facts. not arguments, are the best
foundation in preparing a brief in be-
half of any undertaking.
Sometime ago., it was decided that
Wilmington's war veterans should be
given the opportunity to express them
selves on the Civilian Production ad-
ministration's regulations on new con-
struction. Because the CPA rules were
effected in their interest more than any
other group in the country, it was quite
proper that their opinion should receive
considerable attention.
This city's position is somewhat diff
ferent from others in that the employ
ment situation is reported more acute
than the housing one. Therefore, it was
decided to let the veterans decide
whether they prefer jobs to building
their own homes at this time. If they
choose the former, then the CPA would
be called upon to relax restrictions on
industrial construction so that new
manufacturing concerns desiring to
come here could erect their plants to
furnish employment.
With this end in mind, the Veterans
Housing Advisory committee made
available approximately 5000 question
naires for mailing to ex-servicemen.
Because of address difficulties many
have not reached the men but, to date,
the response has been light. We were
informed recently that only about 100
have been returned. According to the
secretary of the committee, a majority
of the replies indicate most veterans
do not intend to build homes at the
present time.
But the point we wish to stress is
that every former soldier, sailor or ma
rine now residing in New Hanover
should express himself on the question.
If the general indication is one of an
anticipated delay in home building, then
the community is entitled to more con
sideration from the CPA in its plea for
i n d ustrial construction permits,
especially those for plants that will pro-
vide employment for male labor. This
fact, based on the veterans %concensus,
will carry considerable weight with the
government officials.
The present CPA regulations are
blocking the entrance of new industry
into Wilmington. The proposed plants
mean more jobs, not only in their con-
struction but in the future when they
go into production. Your postcard reply
may seem a small matter but when you
multiply it by hundreds it becomes an
important one in preparing the pro-
posed plea to the CPA.
The missionaries were mailed to
those who entered the service from
New Hanover county. Their names
formed the only list available. There
are hundreds of others who have moved
here from elsewhere to make their
home. So, if you have been overlooked,
contact the Chamber of Commerce and
it will see that your opinion on the i'm
portant question will be placed before
the Veterans Housing Advisory COM
mittee as soon as possible.
The committee needs this informa-
ton and you are the only one who can
furnish it. Therefore. if you are a
serviceman and have not answered this
brief QUESTIONABLE, please do so i'm
mediately.

The Gallup Poll
Byrnes Policy 7oward
Russia FAVORED 5-7o-1
Over Wallace Position
By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., October II.
Voters who say they have follow
ed the arguments over the Byrnes
versus Wallace ideas for dealing
with Russia, vote 5-to-l in favor
of sticking to the Byrnes policy.
Interviewers for the Institute
questioned a cross-section of the
population from coast to coast to
determine how many people have
been following the arguments in
the Wallace affair, what they an
derstand Mr.. Byrnes' ideas and
to be, and which side they favor.
Fewer than half the nations
voters, the poll indicates, have
been paying attention to the dis
cussion over the two mems ideas.
That is shown in replies to the FOL
lowing:
Have you followed the argu-
ments about ByrneS' Ideas and
Wallace's ideas for dealing with
Russian"
Yes
No
The general question of which
policy is more suitable or more
workable is one which experts on
foreign affairs will argue for some
time to come. So far as the gen.
eral public is concerned. the ten
dency among whose who have a
definite opinion on the subject is
to side more with Mr.. Byrnes than
with Mr.. Wallace on the basis Of
what they think the two mems
ideas r
Whose policy do you think we
should follow - Byrnes' or Wal
lace's?"
The vote of all who have follow
ed the discussion and had definite
conceptions of the ideas Of both
men:
Byrnes' ---------..-- 1870
wallace -------..--..l
No opinion ....---.. 6
Republicans side with Byrnes by
a larger majority than Democrats
do. Among Republicans who nave
been following the discussions and
have a picture of the differences
between the viewpoints of the two
men, nine out of every 10 (91 per
cent? express a preference for the
Byrnes ideas, while among Demo-
Gratis the vote is seven in every 10
$50 per cent?.
BOTH Mr.. Wallace and Mr..
Byrnes will be interested to OBJ
serve what the voters in the poll
think the two mems ideas are for
dealing with Russia, and how ac-
curately or inaccurately - the
public has interpreted what they
have said.
This is shown in the following
two questions, asked of those who
say they have followed the discus

The Cargoettes, as they are
known, are accustomed to being in
the win column. During the past
three years, they have amassed an
impressive total of Sc victories
against only nine defeats. Last sea-
son they ranged up and down the
East Coast, taking on all corners in
the industrial "powderpuff' circuit
and wound up their 1915 schedule
by reaching the finals of the South
Atlantic AAU Tourney in Baltimore.
Before starting their current 26-
game winning streak, which includes
the final six games of last season,
the Fairchild sextet dropped close

of Camden, N. J. That defeat rank
led in their memories and when the
two teams met again this year, the
Cargoettes gained their revenge. The
final score was 1929.
Throughout this season, the high
flying Cargoettes have annexed
game after game with monotonous
regularity. Some of the scores were
close enough to cause discomfort
among the teams supporters, but on
one occasion the girls made strong
bid for Believe 1t Or Not" honors
when they bowled over the hapless
opposition by a football score of 40

a 207 victory while forcing the
other team to collect all it's points

In the 10 games played since the
beginning of the 1945-46 season, this
"stinginess" on the part of the Fair

wards to 243 points while their own

maker for the Cargoettes is Peggy

Steve Sefick, the Owls first string
catcher last year, has been sold by
Oren Sterling to Welsh, w. Va, a
member of the Mountain State
League, as manager of the Welsh
team.
Another announcement of interest
to Owls fans is the signing by MIR.
Sterling of Pat Riley, the Owls left
handed hitting, right fielder in 1943,
who played with the Baltimore
Orioles in 1914 and part of 1916.
Pat was signed after he had re-
ceived his unconditional release
from the Orioles and is expected to
report to manager Griffith for
spring training on April 7. A hard
hitting outfelder, he can do the
Owls lot of good, providing he
keeps himself in condition.

Gus Ludwig has lined up another
topnotch card for tommorw night,
headed by Johnny Ditto and George
Williams in the main bout and sup

other bit of good news is the an
