SECRETARY WALLACE came
~ before the House Small Busi-

T wish it were possible for me to
1 give you so wildly that you
would feel as if you had been there
with me a report of General Eisen-
hoWer's testimony on demobiliza-
tion before the Military Affairs
Committee a few days ago.
To carry out his present re-
sponsibilities there will be required
100000 men. He .old US that the
basic plan for rehabilitation was
'to discharge men as quickly as
possible and to the limit of avail
able shipping with prioriGies on
those with the longest and hardest
SerV;ce'-that is, With the most
points. .s~.
He made it clear that there has
been no change of policy Of the
basic rehabilitation plan. What has
happened is that the point has
been reached when men must be re-
tanned if the job is to ke done.
If everyone could read his testi-
mony, | feel sure there would be
a more realistic attitude towards
the need of having enough trained
men in the various countries where
supervision must pc continued if
we are to build toward peace.
came away from the hearing
rejoicing that so fine an American
is handling his difficult demobili-
Zation problem and feeling that
We as a people must do our part
by recognizing the responsibilities
that are ours in the postwar world.
Especially must we be ready and
willing 10 make whatever sacrifices
are necessary to maintain our
strength and our integrity among
the nations.

the Annual T. s. !. a. Bowling
Tournament and Dance to be
held in Canton on February 9th
and 10th. From the looks OF the
entries received this tournament
promises to- be a really success
ful affair. Bowling seems to | c
the by-word in all OF the citias
at this time, and by the looks Of
things, competition is going to be
very keen.
A schedule has been set up and
will be published so that every
team and individual will know
Just when and where he or she
is to bowl. Each city entered in
the tournament is advised to
bring along a copy OF this
schedule to avoid confusion a;
the bowling alleys. Do not lor.
get that failure to appear on time
means that you will be disquali-
fed and your entry fec forfeited.
The tournament will be bowlcd
at Maloney Bowling Lanes, 60o
18th St., n. f. This is right on
Rt. 62, coming in from the East.

winners of the tournament 50
everyone try to be there. We
will also try to serve meal on

and ali others who wish to eat.
The tournament should be over
by I or I 80 and everyone should
be good and hungry by then.
Those who have enjoyed our
meals here in Canton know what
to expect. Contrary to other c.
ties beliefs of their own. we still
think our mothers arc the best
cooks in the world. SO don't for

World Looks 10 u. 5.
For Lead in Restoring
Trade, Farley Says
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 49,
James A. Farley returned to the
United States yesterday from a
three month, 35,000-mile global trip
convinced, he said, the world looks
to the United States for leadership
in rebuilding international trade and
economic certainty.
AS chairman of the board of the
Coca Cola Co., Mr.. Farley was on
a survey of world business condi-
tions.
He landed from Hawaii on the
Pan American East Indian Clipper
He left New York for London
September 5.
The one-time Democratic Party
chairman said he saw no immediate
prospect for resumption of interna-
tional trade under Americas leader
ship until the era of uncertainty
and political and economic dis
turbances, was ended. This only can
come, he declared, when terms of
the peace are settled.
Everywhere, he added, he found
political unrest, black markets and
inflation-and everywhere strong
desire for peace" Praising the
American occupation policy of Ja-
pan, Mr.. Farley singled out that
country as the nation where 1.-The
situation seems brighter than any
where else" He expressed the opin-
ion that "a real start toward normal
trade was possible within two years"
there.
OF Russia-which he did not visit
--he said:
The sooner Russia joins in CO.
operating with the west of the world
the sooner this worldwide uncer-
tainty now existing will be dispelled.
II cannot understand why Russia
does not have confidence in us. We
certainly displayed ample conf
dence in Russia during the war as
demonstrated by the aid we gave
them.
But the actions of their represent
atives now certainly indicate that
they do not have confidence and are
not cooperating with the other
allied nations"

WEIGHTS
CHARGE SPIKED
State Superintendent Says
New Hanover Devices
Okay

Recent charges made by a local
man to the New Hanover County
Board of Commissioners that many
scales and similar measuring de-
vices in the city are not giving
accurate measure were spiked yes
terday by C. D. Baucom, State
Superintendent of Weights and
Measures, Raleigh.
In a letter to the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce, Baucom
said his inspectors had tested all
the measuring devices in the city
this spring and left them all in
good order.
Baucom admitted, however, that
his crew of seven inspectors is not
sufficient to carry out the work
as satisfactorily as it should be.
"We need at least one inspector
for each congressional district, and
l, personally, have been begging
for this for many years." Beaucom
said.
In conclusion, he urged the
Chamber of Commerce to ask ere
representatives. of New Hanover
county" to increase their appro-
priations for weights and measures
enforcement.
