We would be the last to minimize
the threat to our national security Of
fered by communism or other foreign
theology. The social revolution rampant
in other lands has definitely spread to
our shores and unless brought under
control will continue to menace our way
of life. The question is: how to stop it.
One way, which we believe would be
most effective, is to combat it by chang
ing over from our pessimistic view and
take instead a more optimistic attitude
toward our future, without shutting our
eyes to what is going on in this sinister

WASHINGTON. r e p ublican
Party leaders are puzzled by the
bad publicity they have received
from their efforts to cut govern
ment spending by the "meat-axe"
method. They thought the country
wanted economy. Yet when Mas
ter Meatcutter John W. Taber and
his bully butcher boy chairmen of
the House appropriations subcczn-
rlittees started trimming off the
millions of fat, everybody began
to yell they couldn't do that.
Say what you like about this
meat-axe technique of economic
ing, there is sound sense in doing
business that way. Every depart
ment of the federal government
ought to be made to prove the
need for every cent of its appro-
priations. Best way to establish
this necessity is to cut appropri-
atoms numerically or kill them
altogether. Then see how the coun-
try gets along on a reduced econo-
my. If trouble develops, it isn't
too hard to restore a cut appro-
priation to what it was before.
This makes for a lot of toll and
strife, and it is probably the hard
way to get results. 1t causes all
kinds Of screaming and confusion
in the agencies. It causes many
employees to be laid off-which is
not nice-and some projects to be
closed down - which is downright
dis%couraging to the morale of ad-
m.inistrators who work hard on
them. But in this process it forces
the heads of all government de-
partments to prove how essential
they may be. That's what counts.
Part of the wrath which the Re-
publicans have pulled down
around their own ears in this ousi.
ness comes from the indiscrimi'
nate way in which the cuts were
made. The rest Of the grief comes
from the fact that the agencies
which got cut had the best press
agents, who were experienced ir
dressing up the injuries to make
them look serious. Then too, the
Republicans Dragged too much
and too early about how much
the. were going to save.
It is now doubtful if the House
will make good On its goal of cut.

Castle Hayne Needs Buses

Castle Hayne is to be considered a
part of Wilmington's metropolitan area.
It's people trade in Wilmington for
commodities not available in it's own
stores, bank in Wilmington, attend
shows in Wilmington, many worship
In Wilmington churches, some are en-
ployed in Wilmington, and the older
children attend high school here.
Furthermore the increasing popula-
tion along the highway between the city
and this thriving community makes
Castle Hayne 2 suburb of Wilmington.
This being true, the Star believes
the community entitled to local bus SER
vice at. shorter intervals than is now
provided by Greyhound.
We have buses to and from Wrights-
vile Beach and Carolina Beach, We
also should have them to and from
Castle Hayne.
The Greyhound company is efficient
ly operated and serves local passengers
as we'll as it's rolling stock can accom-
modate them, but it often happens that
it's Wilmington-bound buses are 80
crowded when they reach Castle Hayne
there is not even standing room for
persons seeking admittance, and so thew
must either abandon their trim or wait
until another bus, which may be "a
crowded as the one before it, arrives.
During the hearing on the applica-
ton of Fred W. Spencer for q franchise
to operate buses over this route. E. G.,
Baldwin, merchant of the community
testified that he has frequently seen
many persons left behind because there
wa no room for them, and that the
earliest bus arrives at 8 o'clock. which
is too late for those who work in vii,
mington.
Clearly the need is for local service
The public convenience can be met bes,
