governing pilots are too limited, that
they are not free enough to use their
own judgment in emergencies. Persons
holding this view contend a pilot in the
air should be as independent as the
captain of a ship at sea.
Whether this would help solve the
problem is not for the layman to say,
but it is fair to think that as the re-
sponsibility for the safety of his plane
and his passengers rest solely, upon
him, al with a sea captain, he might
use his own judgement, which is usual
ly fortified with long experience in the
air, when the rule book does not offer
a way out of an emergency.
This is for the authorities to deter
mine, but it is obvious that there is
need for overhauling federal air safety
regulations, for further research to per-
feet all-weather flying, and a more in
tensive study of the causes of all air
crashes.

Air Crash Inquiries

Three major airplane disasters in
fifteen days spur inquiries with the pur-
pose of bettering a tragic condition and
restoring public confidence in air travel
generally.
President Truman has taken a hand
by naming a five-man special board of
inquiry on air safety headed by James
M. Lands, civil aeronautics chief. Sena-
tor Brewster's subcommittee on avia-
ton is devoting its attention to the sit
uation and the C. A. B. is using every
device at it's command "from mudprint
analysis to m%etallurgical baths" to trace
the cause of the two Memorial day
crashes and their sequel in the Blue
Ridge mountains.
Certainly no effort should be spared
in learning what was wrong with the
planes involved in these accidents or
in flying conditions, for only by prop
erly diagnosing the cases can future
similar crashes be avoided,
There is some feeling tsst the rules

Veterans Hospital

Having passed the House, the bill
authorizing the Veterans Administra-
ton to establish a t%housand-bed neuro-
psychiatric hospital in eastern North
Carolina is now before the Senate,
where our senators naturally will use
the full power of their influence to have
it approved.
Wilmingtonians hope the location
finally settled upon will be in New
Hanover county. And there are rea-
sons why this vicinity should be
chosen.
There are many tracts admirably
suited to the purpose, convenient from
the transportation viewpoint yet offer
ing all the advantages of rural quiet,
with ample woodland and level areas for
parking and such athletic activities as
convalescent patients may enjoy
quoits, tennis, softball, baseball.
Neither water supply nor sewage
presents a problem. And within easy
reach is the Atlantic, for swimming and

A Vague Request

When Judge Alexander Holtzoff of
the United States District Court in
Washington ruled that Rollins college,
Florida, should get the $1,000, 900 left
by William Hayes Ackland, the Uni
versity of North Carolina was ruled out
on the ground that Rollins had paid
more attention to art than the univer-
sity at Chapel Hill.
1t appears that Mr.. Ackland wanted
his money to go to a southern school,
which should bury him, his papers and
pictures on it's campus, and that Duke
was his first and only specific choice.
Duke turned the bequest down.
Now North Carolina will carry it's
case to the next higher court in the Dis
trict of Columbia, says DR.. Frank P.
Graham, and there is the possibility
that before the litigation is ended the
school finally successful in it's effort to
get the Ackland money will have had

WASHINGTON, - New York
Republican Congressman Ralph
Waldo Gwinn is now slated to
head a House labor subcommittee
probe of rackets in the Building
industry. If the committee does

this summer. there is no reason
why it shouldn't hit the 'front.'
pages day after day, as long as
it wants to hold hearings. For just
as much as big business monop..
ol1stic practices in restraint u
trade need curling, so the
stranglehold of the building trades
on the construction industry needs
breaking.
The Gwinn subcommittee main
trouble, however, will be IN
getting witnesses to testify on the
fa cts Of life everyone knows.
I The way the national building
labor situation shapes up, most
big industrial and commercial
construction jobs are union shop.
In all but a few of the biggest
metropolitan centers, the h o m e
building industry is open shop.
These open shop C a C r S
usually pay the union scales and,
in general, abide by union hours
and working conditions prevailing
III their area.
To many OF these conditions
that have now become traditional
the employers may strenuously
object-in private. But when it
comes to making a squaWk in
public, the boss contractors have
always been afraid to opne their
mouths. The reason is simple. If
they start crusading against tea

labor practices, the unions crack
down. The contractor is boycotted.
Next time he wants to hire union
labor it won't work for him.
Because of the contractors fear
Of reprisal these ABUSE have been
publicized only in a general way.
There never has been a national
survey of abuses in the building
industry. Not even the National
Association OF Home Builders, the
Producers Council or other trade
associations in the industry have
any documented information on
the extent of these rackets in their
own business. That's where the
GW1nn committee has a chance to
dig in and develop facts.

land did not foresee a court struggle
as a result of vagueness with which he
bestowed his wealth. But it often hap
pens that wills, even when drawn by
nersons of clearer vision, find their way
into the courts and the beneficiarles
have to expend what little hoardlngs
thew posses in obtaining, or complete
ly losing, the inheritance.
On the other hand, money is some
times left in trust for unidentlflable
heirs or institutions and lies in bank
indefinitely, drawing interest but a
aus of trouble for generations. We re-
call reading of a small sur of money so
left by Benjamin Franklin-only a few
dollars-which at last accounts had
mounted to $50, 900. And Franklin was
q sage gentleman who would not be
suspected of leaving a doubt in anyone)s
mind as to the disposition OF his world
ly goods. -,
North Carolina university could
use the Ackland fortune to good adj
vantage, and is not to be censured for
proposing to fight further for it. But
Rollins could use it also, especially in
its music department which, however
small. has made an enviable mark for
itself.

WILD HUNTING DOGS

The dingo, famous wild dog of
Australia, "a once tame. Dingos
We're probably brought to Austrai-
ia a few thousand years ago by
the primitive blacks when they
came from the Pacific islands and
Asia. No doubt a number of the
animals eihter ran away from
their masters or were left to take
care of themselves when a family
or small tribe persisted in some
catastrophe, and so they became
wild. Now Australian natives
sometimes catch dingos and tame
them.
The early dingos spread over all
of Australia, finding the hunting
good. They were able to catch and
kill all except the largest kan
garoos. Hunting in a pack, they
cuold take these too. When Euro
peans began to raise sheep in
Australia, the dingos were very
destructive. But they have now
been pretty we'll killed off in the
more settled areas. =,
Another wild dog is the African
hunting dog, a strengthening
animal. Its ears are large and its
coloration is a patchwork Of
black, yellow and white. It's body
is lean, its legs long and its head
massive. Some people think it
looks like a hyena and call it
''hyena dog" Packs of a dozen OF
less are common, and some packs
contain 60 or more
Throughout most of the bush
country of Africa, those hunters
roam, travelling over great dis
tances. All the game leaves a re-
gion when the hunting dogs come
through. The dogs follow their prey
like well-trained hounds. They
depend chiefly on the smaller and
medium-sized antelopes and run
them down, though the antelopes
are the fleetest of the plant-eat-
ers. The natives fear these large
dogs chey are about the size Of
wolves) but there is no reliable

India, China and the Maley region
is a close relative of the African
dog, but it is smaller, about the
size of a coyote. The dholes are
lear-ess hunters, even arriving
tigers from their kills. They &C.
casionally kill a bear or a leo
pa-d. They do it by surrounding
the victim, those in front holding
its attention while others rush in.
The little bush dog of tropical
America is thought to be another
relative of the hunting dog. 1t is
less dog-like in appearance, with
short legs and tail, and a very
large head. In habits it is shy and
cunning. The Indians of the
forest sometimes take the cubs
from the dens in order to raise
them. Cubs raised in captivity
become quite tame, and can be
used in hunting.
The raccoon dog lives in China
and Japan and looks more like a
raccoon, with it's sharp nose,
black mask and bulky body, than
a dog. 1t is q true dog, however.
Raccoon dogs live near streams
and depend on fish and fruit, be-
sides catching mice and rats. The
fur of these small wild dogs is
valuable.

Rackets In Housing

ported from time to time are
these:
Refusal to allow use of machines
for digging excavations.
Requiring steel workers to lay
mesh in concrete.
Refusal to handle ready = mix
concrete.
Requiring that only journeymen
not helpers or common labor
carry bathtubs or heating
radiators from curb to house.
Limiting bricklayers to a certain
number Of bricks per day.
Limiting fathers to a certain
number OF bundles per day.
Requiring three coats of plaster
or wall when two is enough.
Refusal by carpenters to ha n g
more than a limited number of
doors per day. Refusal to permit
fa ctory-fitted doors to be used.
Limiting the size of paint brush
es, prohibiting spray painting and
requiring more coats of paint than
are necessary.
Refusal to handle window franz
es in. which glass is fitted.
And so on. All these practices
run up the cost Of house construc-
ton and are a direct factor in to-
days national housing shortage.
Many of these conditions will not
be found written in union agree
ments. They are simply imposed
conditions which, if not lived up
to, mean that union agents pull
men off the job.
From the unions standpoint, the
claim is made that work in the
home building industry is SO ir-
regular and exploitation is so
easy. Limitations OF this kind are
necessary to give workmen a min
imum wage and protect their jobs.
Guaranteed work weeks or
guaranteed annual wage plans
may have to be- devised to solve
these obvious weaknesses.
But what both sides of this
picture show is that labor condi,
lions in the building industry need
a complete overhauling If the cost
OF housing is to be brought down
within range of the family OF
average means. The Gwinn com,
mite has the chance to find the
answer to that one, if it will.
Everyone who has tried to break
up the building rackets in the past
has stubbed his toe. This includes
even the Department of Justice.
How much effect the new Taft,
Hartley labor bill will have On
these cases, if it becomes law, win
be worth watching.

Worst Totalitarianism

When Adolf Hitler was increasing IN
power and the German people in con-
sequence were losing more and more
privileges, we in this country emphaslz-
ed the difference between totalitarlan-
ism and independence.
Today we have even more reason to
point out this difference and labor the
harder to promote something at least
resembling our independence among the
weaker nations which were reduced to
abject poverty and Importance by the
worlds worst war and are threatened
with compulsory subjugation to a worse
t~otalitarianism than even Hitler enforc-
ed in Germany at the height Of his
power.
It is not an exaggeration to say that
the United States is the last powerful
Estate which holds that the right Of the
individual to live his life as he chooses
is the most basic and precious OF all
rights. This, especially, is the principle
which makes all our institutions-free
enterprise, representative government,
freedom of speech and press and reli-
gion- possible, History has proven a
thousand times that the destruction OF
this right is followed by the destruction
of all other rights. The totalitarian
state - whether it calls itself socialist,
fascist, communist, or anything else
Invariably ends in oppression. The
kind of government which controls the
economic life of a country, sooner or
later must control all other phases of
life. If it tells a man what he must
do, where he must work and who he
must support, it will also tell him
what he must say and think.
This is precisely what is happen
ing in Europe where the Russians have
taken command. Illustrations of what
