IDLE SCHOOL BUSES
TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
There are several hundred
school buses inactivated in North
Carolina during the hot summer
months and left neglected to bleach
their yellow bodies in the sun.
Their engines r given no atten-
ton and their tires bear a steady
and devastating burden.
In the Ball Park on Thirteenth
any one can see 50 Of these neglect
ed vehicles, costing several thous-
and dollars of the taxpayers hard
earned and reluctant dollars.
If this demonstration of waste "
abuse Of motor cars is needed,
either by youth or old age, we are
unaware Of it.
Very truly,

Rent Control
upon it

In the midst of buyers strikes and
congressional controversy which leads
nowhere the question of rent control,
the most essential need for an Office
of Price Regulation, is not receiving
the official attention it deserves, save
in isolated cases. 1t is in effect in some
form in several states and at least one
city. The city is Los Angeles, not Will
mington, where, however, both realty
agents and owners generally have not
taken advantage of the chance OPA's
death offered to initiate rentals.
New York. New Jersey, the District
of Columbia and Massachusetts have
taken action extending rent control.
Similar action is reported in Iowa and
Alabama.
Control in New York has been taken
over by state officials through pro-
visions of legislation signed by the gov
ernor three months ago. The state en-
actment provided for a s12, 000-a-year
commissioner and appropriated $1,0OO,-
900 for administration. The law ex-
pires June 30, 1947.
In the District of Columbia, residen-
tial rent control has been continued by
act of Congress until the end of 1947.
Washington, D. c., rents are controlled
by a Rent Control Administration in
dependent of the OPA, which had
jurisdiction over rents throughout the
rest of the nation.
New Jersey legislation provides for
rent increases up to Is per cent over
|OPA ceilings. State action is au-
thorized to penalize landlords who ex-
coed the authorized rent boost.
Massachusetts rents have been
frozen at OPA ceilingsb by the gov
ernor who said he acted under his war
powers because IAN emergency exists"
Rent control action by the governors OF
Iowa and Alabama was reported.
Governor Cherry of North Carolina
enjoying equal war powers, has chosen
to adopt a "watchful waiting" policy

Mckinney On
BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

Tournament bridge eliminates
luck in the cards because all pairs
play the same hands. There is
naturally an element of luck in
the way the cards r played, al
though a judge nee ruled that
the element of luck in duplicate
was in the position you sat at the
table; and that the play of the
cards did not involve luck, as that
was either good or bad play.
However, Jay T. Feigus Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, thought that he
was exceptionally lucky on to-
days hand. At most tables South
and West had passed, North bid
n heart, East two diamonds,
and South then bid two spades.
With South the declarer at four
spades, and the five of diamonds
opening, declarer had to lose two
diamonds, two clubs and a heart
down two tricks. A slip in
defense might set the contract
only one.
Feigus said he intended to bid
one heart, but by mistake said a
spade, which the next hand
promptly doubled. When his part
ner bid four spades, Feigus real
lied his mistake but decided
against taking a stab in the dark
with five hearts or four NO trump.
He won the opening lead with
the ace of hearts, took three
rounds of trumps and led the jack
OF hearts, East winning.
East could have cashed the ace
OF clubs at this point, but he
was still trying to defeat the
hand and led the six of diamonds.
Felgus won with the ace and
discarded dummy's losing clubs
and diamonds on the four GOOD
hearts.
If East had opened the Jack OF
diamonds, he could have put
his partner in to lead through the
club. Thus this East-West pair
also would have set the contract
two tricks. Bridge players know
there is no luck in where Won
sit at the table, and there is ample
proof OF the judges point that
the play OF the hand is all skill.

Beach Parking Inadequate

The beauty contest at Wrightsvllle
Beach sponsored by the Junior Chamber
of Commerce, which was such an ex-
t~raordinary success, revealed the dis
tressing fact that Wrightsville, despite
it's undisputed attractions, is sadly lack
ing in parking space. 1t is reported that
patrons not on hand early had to leave
their cars as far away as Station l and
walk to Lumina.
To be sure the attendance was larger
than is usually to be found at special
events there, but Wrightsville is grow
ing and if it's ambitions are fulfilled
the spectators of the beauty contest
will be greatly outnumbered by persons
at other public attractions as time
passes.
The leaders at the resort will fine
their work better rewarded if they start
now on an intensive campaign to oper
adequate parking reserves so that all
patrons of their entertainment features
will not again have to walk the better
part of a mile to Lumina or any other
place designed for large gatherings.
Wrightsville cannot hope to take ad-
vantage of it's opportunities to become
one of the leading South Atlantic re-
sorts unless it provides ample accom-
modations for the auto trade as well
as for vacationists requiring living
quarters.

years and MI. Padgett for four. Each,
therefore, has experience in the duties
now assigned them to perform.
On the score that the person on the
ground, familiar with the job and field
OF service, is preferable to a stranger,
whatever the strangers fitness may be,
the Council has acted wisely, the more
so as both appointees will still have
the advantage of Mr.. Benson's counsel.
Both have the best wishes of the
Star in their new undertakings.

Georgia's Shame

Because Georgia has seen fit to &C.
|lect its governors by a unit system
which closely resembles the Electoral
college, Eugene Talmadge-he of the
red %suspenders, fiery temper and die
t~atorial disposition-is destined to be
that states next chief executive. 1t
will be his fourth term in the State
Capitol.
Because of the states extraordinary
election custom, under which small
rural counties may actually control cleo
tons, it is not the mar who polls the
largest popular vote but the mar who
carries the greatest number of units
who rides into this high position. James
V. Carmichael was leading Talmadge
by many thousands in the popular vote
when this was written, but trailed Tai
madge 1856 to 220 unit votes. With 40
units, Talmadge was already we'll ahead
of the 206 required for election. In
Georgia as in most Southern states,
the November balloting is a mere for
mality. Nomination is tantamount to
election.
So Georgia is destined again to exist
under the domination of the man who
counts himself the supreme power in
the state, who in the past has set aside
the law in favor of his whims, who
has all the evil instincts and selfish
desires of a Huey Long and in his
previous administrations aped the King
fish, particularly in removing duly
elected executives and turning their
Offices over to his favorites with COM
plete disregard of the legal aspects of
his actions. Now that he has a mandate
to govern again, not from a majority
of the people but by virtue of a
strange election rule, he is to be expect
ed to show increased totalitarianism
and Georgia seems destined govern
mentally to become a little Germany
under a little Hitler.
There is but one hope for the state.
1t rests with the legislature. If he has
not acquired control of that body and
exceeds his legal power, as he did so
shamelessly in the past, the legislature
could remove him by impeachment pro-
ceedings, and relieve the state of the
incubus his election will have imposed
upon it.

Leave It To The Jury

To make our position clear at the
start we confess we could not condemn
a fellow mortal to death if it was our
misfortune to be a member of the jury
in a murder case. At the same time
we find it equally difficult to condone
q compromise between the prosecution
and defense by which it is stipulated
that life Imprisonment will be substi-
tuted for the death penalty in exchange
for a written confession of guilt by the
sulprit.
The reference, of course is to the
case of William Heirens, the 17-year-
old boy who has orally confessed in
Chicago to the Staying of two women
and the revolving kidnap-killing of
young Suzanne Degnan and attempt to
extort ransom from the dead child's
father.
This oral confession made in the
presence of witnesses is as convincing
when the witnesses give their evidence
In court as any document the youth
could dictate and sign.
Since this confession has been made
the Heirens youth should be brought
to trial. If the jury sees fit to recon-
mend mercy to the court, a life SEN
tence without privilege of parole after
thirty years could then be imposed. But
the question should be left for the jury
10 decide, as intended by the common
law, and not become a matter of bar
Ter between opposing counsel.
Too many criminals go free becaus'
Of anteroom dickering.

BY JOHN SKIES

1t has been my intention, since
Tuesday night, to call upon Miss
Mary Jarman and pose a few per-
tinent questions whose answers I
might set down on this page.
Miss Jarman, as you young men
must know, particularly those
young men who are members of
the Wilmington Junior Chamber Of
Commerce, is the young lady who
bears on her light-brown locks
l am taking these locks for granted
because it hasn't been my fortune
to meet the lady-the heavy, heavy
hangs over her head crown OF
Miss Wilmington of 1916"
But because, in examining the
pictures Of the II young ladies
from here who competed for the
title, l selected Miss Jarman as the
one most likely to win the judges
accolade even before the judges
got around to viewing her, I have
felt a hesltancy in getting around
to trying for an interview for fear
my motives might be suspect.
Therefore, l shall put oft to a
later date, if ever, my quiz. But
I do want 10 PASS a few remarks,
not only upon Miss Jarman, who
should, if her person does not be-
tray her pictures, 60 far in the
beauty business, but also upon all
young ladies who cherish an ambl-
ton to 60 into NOON pitchers or
the modelling business. q under
stand that Miss Jarman gave as
one of her goals in life training in
the Powers School Cor Models.)

lady win a beauty contest. For

these contributors and their gifts
which a sincere joiner could check
against the common roster of we'll
known communists Of Hollywood
and New York who would be un-
likely to assist any organization
that was not, in their opinion, 60
ing their way.
The A. V. c. frankly announces
that it is trying to raise lone
million dollars to get one million
members" That would be one dol
lar a head and cheap, too. But
there does seem to be a practical
admission here that, given enough
money and efficient propaganda
and organization, a pressure group
can round up the American veteran
and herd him into any political
corral.

tndt mdlter ! We AWAY regretted
to learn that any friend Of mines
daughter, sister, wife, or sweet
heart has made the grade in the
movies.
I do not wish to be misunder-
stood. I hold no grudge against
any beautiful young lady who be-
comes a successful model or &C
tress. I am as pleased as the next
one to behold these lovely girls.
But it is just that once a girl
learns from an acclaiming throng
of admirers and a few discerning
judges that she is beautiful she
almost Immediately divests her
self of any naturalness she may
have had in the first place. She
becomes a showpiece with her
head thrust through the clouds Of
fl~attering vapor she mistakes for
affection. She is kept constantly
on a pedestal much in the manner
of a statuette which may possess
beauty but 70 life.
I do not happen to be one of
those who think any single model
is beautiful. As a class they are
beautiful just as a class any col
lection of lifeless ornaments is
beautiful.
But once a girl has gone into the
beauty business. which has become
quite a large industry in this coun-
try, she seems to lose sight of the
Fact that she once breathed the
same air as those who once we're
her fellows. She becomes a part
Of a tableau that is forever posing.
She cannot walk in the natural
manner she vas brought up to
walk but she must forever gliSe
as if she always walked with
books on her head. She cannot
permit herself even one unmodel-
like shrek of joy, or sorry, be-
cause such might gravel her throat
and this wolld be bad if she got
the call to 60 into those moon
pitchers. (Lauren Bacall simply
proves this rule by having been
the exception who was made to
screech for hours on end because
the movie moguls wanted her to
have a husky voice as a buffeter
for that tcughy, Humphrey b.
gart.)
And she cannot smile naturally,
once she's come to the top OF the
beauty business. She must always
smile the same teeth-f1a shing smile
that is the trademark Of the dental
cream ads.
In short, the gal who gets to
the top in the beauty business
loses all individual personality
with which she was endowed. She
must eat, sleep, talk. walk, and
act just exactly a. the hundreds
and hundreds who have managed
to reach the top in the business.
The beauty business has reached
the assembly line stage Of the
automobile business. And. just as
is the cas- with automobiles, the
beauty assembly lines turn out
maidens who are all precisely
alike.
This, of course, is not directed
at Miss Ja.man in particular. I
hope she goes on to Wilson and
becomes Miss North Carolina and
then to Atlantic City and becomes
Miss America.
I'm just pointing out to her some
Of the pitfalls that lie ahead;
pointing them out fatherly if you
please, but, I think, ~cynically.
It would be a downright shame
If one 50 pretty as Miss Jarman
were to spend the rest Of her life
being nothing more individual than
Miss This or Miss That. And hav-
ing to flash the same smile, day
in and day our with never a varia-
ton.
And who, you have my permits
sion to say, asked me to gather

up my wisdom and hand over to a
gal who might like the tinsel that

or?
Nobody. I'm just weary of see
ing so many naturally pretty girls
going into a beauty factory and
coming back out again as if they
were all pou1e ed from the same
mold as thousands of other Beau
tiful Girls.
