Victims Of Discrimination

The Bureau of Labor Statistics last
week reported 40, 147,000 persons m
ployed on non-agricultural jobs. If the
bureaus tabulations are correct, and
there is no reason to think them padded,
employment conditions in many sections
must be vastly different from those in
southeastern North Carolina and partic-
ularly in Wilmington.
This is a reasonable assumption when
it is noted that veteran organizations
are circulating petitions to have CPA
restrictions on construction eased in
order to provide jobs for ex-~servicemen
who want to work but can find nothing
to do.
These petitions say that veterans
hereabouts need jobs more than they do
housing, and that only new industries
can solve the city's present employment
problem. This is Of vital interest both
to unemployed veterans and the com
munity at large, as industries to a con-
siderable number are waiting for the
green light from the CPA to start con-
struction on manufacturing plants
which would absorb all idle labor gain
fully for the worker.
Other sections of the country are
engaged on great construction projects,
providing employment for workers in
the building trades and later on for
many thousands in plants being erected.
Why this discrimination against
Wilmington?

Army-Navy Merger

Great Britain having consolidated It's
land, sea and air arms under a single
minister of Cabinet rank, the United
States is the only great power main
tanning separate establishments. 1t is
not clear that the United States should
follow the practice of Great Britain
or any other major power, but there is
a school of thought in Washington
which accepts the British consolidation
as a potent reason for this government
to do the same thing.
Persons of high rank in the Washing
ton government who favor consolidation
see in the present trend new hope of
success for their pet scheme, even go
ing so far as to forecast that President
Truman will eliminate Secretary of the
Navy Forrestal, who has steadily op-
posed the plan, by appointing him am
bassador to the Court of St. James.
However this may be. Senator Albert
Thomas OF Utah is preparing to bring up
the administration consolidation bill
again when Congress reassembles, and
is counting on the present wave of
economy to win support for the measure.
The merger would save money. Z
What would appear to give the re-
vived Measure it's greatest chance of
adoption is the fact that it is non-
partisan and that both republican and
democratic members of Senator Thomas
Senate Military Affairs Committee have
jointly worked to perfect a workable
In these circumstances it is not
likely to be weighed on party scales
when it ONE up for debate on the floor.

with Mr.. LaGuardia, that all is lost.
There will be high meat prices until
empty coolers are filled and %unprece-
denied demand is past it's peak. But 1t
seems as sensible to suppose that COM
petitive marketing will bring prices
down when a bountifui supply is flow
ing normally as it does to announce
that the profiteers have inherited the
country and intend to bleed it white.
The control of business is simply
being returned to business. To see IN
this the shadow of doom indicates a total
and fearful absence of faith in the
American economic system and in the
general integrity of the millions who
participate in its operation.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-10-22
False Hints

Following President Truman's decon-
troll Of meat prices and the immediate
mark-up in several large cities, sales fail
ed to meet the expected volume with re-
suit that butchers quickly reduced
prices. This action has given rise to
hints in Washington that initiation n
orally may have been checked and that
the American people reasonably NAV
count on a descending scale of commodi-
ty costs. 1t is pointed out that the
sudden drop in cotton, $40 a bale in two
days, is a definite sign of a downward
trend.
There is this to be said, however:
until such time as production catches
up with demand no substantial cut in
the cost OF living can be expected, and
even then commodity prices will not
decline to prewar levels because of wage
increases granted labor.
There is this also to be said: if dras-
tic steps are not taken to overcome
initiation, and there is nothing in the
mark-down on meats in butcher shops
to indicate that a serious effort is
under way to conquer initiation, another
deflationary period is ahead of us, and
when it comes the 1929 collapse will look
like child's play.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-P)-
Jonathan Daniels, who used to be
one himself, says a few bureau
Gratis nearly wrecked the develop
ment OF the atomic bomb.
Daniels is a former presidential
aid and secretary now back in
the newspaper field.
In a new book, out Tuesday, he
puts responsibility for the atomic
bomb incident on unnamed bust
nessmen who had not become
adept" bureaucrats.
1t happened in 1912. The business
men-bureaucrats were guarding
%scarcities and unaware of atomic
plans" Without clearing them
with other key bureaucrats, Daniels
says, they issued orders in the
War Production board against
building new power plants in
Tennessee.
The plants were needed to gene
rate electricity for the physicists
to smash atoms.
That is one of the few "noW-it-
can-be-told" segments of the book.
Daniels obviously did not intend
his Frontier On The Potomac to
be a belated disclosure of things
he saw going on in secret. Rather,
from vantage points both within
and outside the government. he has
painted a many paneled word
mural of Washington and govern
ment-"a Washington in which

known clowns of the capital, but
no fool"
Harold L. Ickes-"The embodi-
ment of contention"
Fred M. Vinson-'He had come
up through a series of bigger and
bigger jobs without losing touch
with the people and the hills or
faith in them either
Daniels writes as one who saw
Washington as a boy, the son of
Josephus Daniels, Woodrow Viii
sons secretary of the Navy. He
writes as one who was a Washing
ton reporter, later an admins
tration trouble shooter and Presi-
dental press secretary, and still
later a reporter and private citizen.
He sets out on no specific
crusade. He is neither pro-new
deal nor anti-new deal
He finds things that are bad
about the government. 1t seems
almost designed, he says, TO be
come a sort of Indian reservation
for the dull and insecure" He
sees danger in mass medicority
on the public payroll because
able men have turned to better,
private jobs. sa#
He observes "undercover war
fare at or close to the cabinet
level" "creaking inefficiency" in
the State department, quarrel
ing and disintegration in the Army
and Navy and so that their glory
begins "to look a little furnished
in the world"
He sees lobbyists as perhaps less
wicked and successful than many
people think. He suspects their
"%clients are cheated more often
than the republic is"
Sometimes, he says, the lobby
lists and the official can turn out
to be the same man:
There vas big swarthy George
Allen telling a joke, and you
could not be sure at the distance
whether he was telling it as chief
Washington lobbyists for the fire
insurance companies or as as
sistart to President Truman and
director of the RFC."
Daniels sympathizes with Presi-

cabinet officers are not less human
than taxi drivers"
Within those panels are the White
House and President, the cabinet,
supreme court, congress, Hobbies,
press, the military, civil service,
diplomats. Central figures appear

length portrait.

LaGuardia's Beef

riorello LaGuardia, erstwhile mayo
of New York and member of Congress,
to which latter office he was elected
as a republican first and then as a
socialist, and an ardent new dealer
throughout the Roosevelt dynasty, re-
Gently declared the lifting of price con-
trolls on meat twill lead to the complete
breakdown Of democratic government
and a throwback of all social processes
of the last quarter of a century,"
Changable as an April zypher, Mr..
LaGuardia obviously was not in a Tru-
man mood, although it was Mr.. Tru-
mans influence that lifted him to the
top place in UNRRA and gave him a
world junket in the course of which he
made p%otentates and people mad where
ever he journeyed and accomplished
nothing in speeding food to starving
millions.
"The President" he said in the afore-
mentioned speech regarding meat prices,
is dangerous" and explained the dire
prediction quoted above by adding: eve
now have free enterprise at its worst .
From now on any group bent on
getting all it's demands will stop pro-
ducing and stop working. Business can
do this easier than agriculture, and labor
can do it easier than either"
We fail to share Mr.. LaGuardia's
feeling that the decontrol of meat was
the crisis that plunged the country to-
ward catastrophe. 1t certainly didn't in
troduce the use of a no-work or no.
production weapon to enforce demands.
That weapon has been employed by
management and labor on many occas-
slons. And more often than not in the
past year it has been employed in pro-
test against price or wage ceilings.
The result is a familiar story. First
the wage line" bulged, then was broken
IN dozens of places. Government con-
tentlons that wages could be raised
freely while prices stayed fixed had to
be revised in the face of reality. The
end OF price control over meat was
simply more of the same.
Put the blame where you wilton
a group of willful congressman, on
protlt-hungry packers and stock r~aisers,
or the difficulty of effective price con-
troll without rationing and wage con-
troll, or whatever-OPA meat ceilings
were, IN practice, a fiction. Yet Mr.. La
Guardla would have had Mr.. Truman
~perpetuate the fiction in the face of
all its attendant dangers and inconveni-
ences.
What has happened now in the meat
industry is a return to competitive
capitalism instead of what amounted
to monopoly capitalism, with a reluctant
industry Joined in a government-spon-
sored cartel. 1t is this competitive CAPT
talism that Mr.. LaGuardia calls free
enterprise at it's worst"
Remembering that such an arrange
ment has provided ample supplies at
reasonable prices before, we cannot feel

The first Southern Appalachian
Tournament held since the begin
ming of the war got off to a good
start at Asheville, N. c., this year.
There were over 125 out-of-toWn
and out-of-state players, with Is
or 20 states represented in the
group.
The mems pair championship, a
new event on the program, was
won by two of the South's most
popular players, Benjamin Jonn-
son, of sSpartanburg, S. c., and
hurry Gross, of Asheville.
Gross is known as a psychic bid
der, and although ne appears to be
Glowing at times, he can be de-
pended upon to have his feet on
the ground when it comes to an
important decision. He showed
great restraint in not doubling six
hearts on today's hand. He did
not double on the first round Of
bidding for fear that the two-heart
bid might be left in. He wanted
his partner to bid, so he chose the
cue-bid Of three hearts.
Much to his surprise. South
leaped to six hearts, and that bid
kept eros from doubling. Nortn's
response of two hearts over u
showed a truly weak hand. With
East showing a powerful and
North showing weakness, if South
could jump to six hearts, Gross
was not going to let him make it
doubled against him. So he passed,
and the pass gave him a top score.
The only trick the declarer lost
was the opening spade lead. South
trumped the second spade, took
two rounds of trumps and estab-
lished his club suit by ruffing a
small club.
At first glance it appears that
East certainly should double six
hearts; but if the six bidder is
a good sound player, a study of the
bidding Indicates that a double
would T.. Of doubtful value.
