British Labor Party
Stresses Economics
In Farley This Week
~ fhs A,,oeiafsd Prsss

LONDON, May A.-Br1tains eco
nomic position will crowd inter-
national problems for the spot
light at the annual Labor Party
conference beginning Monday at
the seaside resort Of Margate.
Resolutions critical Of British
foreign policy and the governments
decision to continue peacetin4e con-
scription are on the agenda for the
five-day meeting, but great deal OF
criticim is influenced by the coun-
try's current position as have-not
nation. Critics within the party are
calling for a foreign policy that
takes into account the limitations
of Britain's industrial and financial
position.
Power Completes Hit.
The New Statesman and Nation,
political weekly, declared today that
"if a relatively small island, which
has dissipated in two wars most Of
it's imperial wealth and has popu-
lation whose average age is increas-
ing, hopes to survive with an un-
impaired standard Of living In a
still competitive world then 1t must
get rid Of the great power COM
plexes which It's manpower is unable
to sustain"
Though not binding. the party
decisions are extremely influential in
determining government policy.
Prime Minister Attlee and almost
the entire cabinet will be on hand
to hear the delegates and get rank
and-file reaction to nearly two years
of Labor Government rule.
How to meet Britain's need for
dollars-whether by further borrow
ing from the United States or by
increasing already severe hardships
by reducing imports from the United
States and other hard currency
areas will be one of the thorniest
problems of the conference.
The February fuel crisis in which
wide sections of industry were closed
down for lack of coal has been the
severest test of the government to
date and has altered much political
thinking.
500 Resolutions Up.
Among the 500 resolutions slated
for disposal is one condenaning
American aid to Greece and Turkey,
and urging United Nations inyesti-
CATION of the American action as a
possible violation of the U. N. char
ter. The resolution may not get
through committees to the confer
ence floor, however.
Foreign Secretary Bevin will an
swer critics of his policy in a speech
ON Thursday on Germany, Pales-
tine and trade agreements with the
Soviet Union. Mr.. Attlee will re-
view his whole regime in a speech
Tuesday. Herbert Morrison, lord
president of the council, and Hugh
Dalton Chancellor of the Exchequer,
will speak Wednesday on economic
planning and production phases.

Storing Apples for Winter Use
BY DEAN HALLIDAY
by Central Press Association

Has your favorite apple
tree produced well this year?
Are you planning to pack and
store late apples, your own har-
vest for your own winter use?
Here then are a few pointers:
Home storage is usually done
in the cellar, and if it is not as
cold as it should be, the apple
should be wrapped in paper, as
illustra ted in the accompany
ing Garden-G Graph.
In general, apples are best
stored in a cool, frost-proof
place where the temperature is
between "a to 40 degrees. There
should be some moisture in the
air so the fruits will not shrivel.
Fruits such as apples and
pears (the latter don't often
store well under home con-
ditions) will last longer in better
condition and absorb less vege-
table odor when individually
wrapped in newspaper, and then
boxed. Boxing helps to keep the
fruits from bruising, but don't
pack them in too tightly.
For large fruits the pieces of

their granddaughter, Miss
Gwendolyn Kennedy, whose
marriage to James BLAME Will
son will take place this after
noon at S O'Clock in St. Andrews
Covenant church.
The rehearsal party, which
followed the wedding rehearsal
at the church took place in the

cut from the Johnston garden
were used in attractive ar
rangements throughout the
house. In the dining room,
where the bridal couple cut a
wedding cake, decorations were
carried out in white. A CENTER
piece of white mixed flowers
thanked by burning candles in
silver candelabra highlighted
the decorations.
Mrs. Joseph Dixon Purvis, a
friend of the bride-elect from
Rocky Mount poured punch, and
Mrs. R. c. Plummer, Jr., aunt
of the bride-elect, served cake
following the first cutting by the
honor guests.

Pin On Your Crowninq G|0ry

It's just about time now for
young ladies who were style
pressured into cutting their
silken locks short to wall the
Observation-Disclosures" says Joseph
Fleischer, designer Of false hair
pieces.
The solution, he says. is to
acquire hair pieces which can
be attached easily in pin-on
fashion. Short hair is pretty
with sports or daytime clothes,
says MI. Fleischer, but when
a girl wants to be romantic she
should have enough hair on her
head, prettily arranged, to look
the part.
Besides the opportunity they
offer to change your personality
and dazzle your public with I'M
expected hair glamor, the pin
on hair pieces are handy time
savers that can be tucked into
a vacation bag for quick-change
hair artistry.
Most hairdressing salons,
says Mr.. Fleischer, have an in
teresting variety Of these hair
pieces which you can try on
for style. You may find that a
chignon will be more practical
than a fluff of curls or a bang
or a braid. Or you may decide
that two or three hair pieces
will be a worthwhile invest
ment. In that case all you will
have to do in the future is wash
your hair at home and send
your hair pieces out to the
beauty parlor to be combed and
set-unless you prefer to do the
couture arrangement yourself.
Be sure if you invest in one
of these hair pieces. advises
Mr.. Fleischer, to get a perfect
match to your own hair. This
can be accomplished by your
hairdresser merely by shipping
off a lock of your hair SO that
the color can be matched ex-
actly. This color blending is an
art that is passed down from
generation to generation. So. be
sure your false hair maker
knows his business.

Are you familiar with the ex-
preston, Gle led from fright?
The bridge player who reaches
in and gets a card because it is
his turn to play will never be a
good player. He should have a
reason for every play he makes,
though of course his reasoning
may not always be correct.
When today's hand was played,
the opening leader, who was a
good sound player, selected a
lead which gave declarer a cor
rect reading on the hand.
When declarer played low

spade lead, East won with the
king and returned a spade.

VS. a nice play. East played
low, declarer played the jack
and Vests queen. Then he led a
small club and West put on the
Now what should declarer
do? If he went up with the ace,
the club suit would not be es-
tablished and East would get in
on the third round.
The question was, who held
the rest of the spades, and the
opening lead told declarer the
story. West had started off with
the jack of spades, and then
played the seven and five. If
West had held four spades orig
inally, he would have had led
the fourth best. Declarer there
fore reasoned that his correct
play was to let the king of clubs
hold the trick. There was now
no play that West could make
that would endanger South's
contract. Some players made
the mistakesof going up with the
ace of clubs and then trying the
diamond finesse for the ninth
trick.
If West had opened the five. of
spades instead of the jack, de-.
clarer would have had a prob
lem. He might well reason that
West held the spade suit, and
that his proper play was to win
the second club trick and take
the diamond finesse.

.e%|f-Rationinq
Doesn't Work
For Americans
BY RUTH MILLETT

Secretary Of Commerce Az
ereu Hartman has asked the
American people to ''reduce vol
unfairly" their consumption of
meat. This, he claims, is the
best possible way of providing
Europe with food.
If there is one thing the war
should have taught our leaders
it is that enough Americans
work on the "me first" basis to
make the success of such a
noble idea problematica1.
What happened during the
war years when the nation was
told of a scarcity, and asked to
60 easy on it? Why, so many
people ran from store to store,
stocking up on the scarce
article, that the majority, who
needed the warning, had to do
without.
Even under rationing, many
housewives bought more food
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-20

than they needed for their
families. ''''
Some women will tell you,
proudly, that they never had
such a stock of toodstuff on
hand as during rationing.
And they eagerly grabbed the
extra ration tickets unmarried
friends offered.
The American people may
weep tears for the starving Of
other lands. But too many won't
have any part of self-rationing
to alleviate the suffering.
There are enough, in this
group, to endanger Harriman's
humanitarian plan. There are
enough to discourage the major
ity, no matter how self-sacrific-
ing most Americans usually are.

the center of the wrapper, as
illustrated, then bring the paper
around it with a twisting motion.
The wrapped apples should then
be placed in a box.
Wrapping prevents willing,
reduces changes of tempera-

the spread of decay and disease,
and helps to prevent bruising.

A SOBERING ESTIMATE

Though the first report of the Council of Economic Advisers sounds abstract, much like saying that le47 will be good year if it isn't bad year there is course more than that the forecast turned over to President Truman
 The three members of the Council are practiced economists but they not soothsayers. They have no power read minds in advance They do recognize in the current combination of economic factors which under ordinary conditions would produce good times But they have the fresh example Of the year and that has elapsed since the shooting was stopped.
 The same combination of economic factors was present during that period yet the Council can say with accuracy that the period was marked by any thing but smooth transition to peaceful and economi- cally efficient conditions of business
 Broad basic conditions suggest to the Council that it would be easy. without extraordinary economic statesmanship the part of anybody, to have sev- eral years of high production and employment. But there is no confidence the part of the Council that there will be this negative sort of encouragement
 Basic conditions are favorable and might become favorable if all our resources of intelligence

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
 HAGGLING

Not much has been said about Democratic wire-pulling in assign ing members to Senale committees but it has been just as hot a sub ject behind closed doors as the as- signment of Republicans.
 By adopting a rule that assign ments go on the basis of seniority in the Senate, rather than length of membership on the committees themselves, the Democrats were able to bar certain liberals of long experience from certain key com mittees.
 Outstanding example was the as- sigrment of Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico to the Foreign Rela- tions Committee, after only one years experience while Senators Claude Pepper of Florida and The cdorc Green of Rhode Island, far moro experienced, have served on the committee for eight years.

are pledged to the maintenance and extension of American Demo- cracy," said Tobey, looking at Van denberg T wonder if the Presi- dent of the Senate would not agree that it is up to us to demonstrate our fundamental belief in that Democracy wherever possible.
 AS. a gesture of Democracy, therefore" continued Tobey, let me propose to the President of the Senate that he practice real Dem ocracy in the use of his limousine. There are 51 Republican Senators, and 52 weeks in the year Would it not De a true Democratic gesture to assign the limousine to each Sen ator for one week of the year, with the President of the Senate him self to have it's use for two weeks?'
 Vandenberg grinned. Somebody came to his rescue by changing the subject.
