A Short Short Story

a ShOTt ShO7f Story
I WAS walking down Hollywood Blvd,
Il taking in the sights, when somebody
grabbed my shoulder and said, ''Fatso
Lewis! Just the guy I'm looking for!'
Il amt got dime" said, turning
around. 1t took me a second to recognize
Dan Rico. The last time I'd seen him - six
years ago-he'd been skinny manager
of tenth-rate pugs Now he was fat and
sassy, in sport jacket he must have robbed
from horse, blue sport shirt, screaming
tie, and Mexican sandals.
/ said, Dan. How you been?"
How do look?" he asked, then added
quickly, I'm an agent now. get jobs for

Legion Stadium last night. =. You want to
put him IN the movies?"

gasped. why his puss would scare Boris
Karloff."
Il SEE you're as stupid as ever! Look,
there's fight scene coming up at Superior.
They need pug to step few rounds with
Tyrone Beal the pretty boy. It's soft
touch, and earns hundred bucks day."
For hundred day, we'll fight the
Marines every day and twice on Sunday"
/ said. What's your take?" l added suspi-
ciously.
AS your agent, drag down a mere
twenty-five per cent"
Evening star., 1947-02-23

Ten per cent and you got a DEAL"
said. Il only been here few days, but the
sun hasn't got me crazy yet"
'Okay, chiseler; be at the studio at eight
IN the morning. Make sure One Punch is
sober, too" Rico snapped.
HE next day One Punch and l were at
the studio. He got into trunks and we went
over to the set. They had a ring and all
the trimmings of a regular fight club fixed
up, and about six million guys were running
around, all yelling orders at each other.
Tyrone Beal was sitting in an easy chair,
a flock of good-looking babes around him,
including one blonde who stood out, even
among those gorgeous babes Tyrone was
a pretty boy all right - straight nose,
delicate features. He was wearing boxing
trunks too, and for beautiful boy, he's
got good build
One Punch, who's muscle bound in the
head, strutted around showing off his biceps.
He thought he was the star attraction, and
went slightly nuts at the sight of all the
lovely fiuffs. But alongside of Tyrone, his
battered pan looked even uglier than usual,
and he got no place with the danes.
Up to lunch time we were very busy -
doing nothing. After lunch the director
introduced us to Tyrone. He looked me
over and said, Il remember you from some
place. Where did we meet?"
Must be somebody else,'' said. "You

V~andenberg VS.. Taft

A strange division in the republican
Senate leadership has everybody guess
ing. 1t is noted that Senator Vanden-
berg, the leader in foreign affairs. and
Senator Taft, leader in domestic mat
tiers, are almost invariably on opposite
sides of the fence. AS both cast a
shadow on the presidential screen their
positions are not to be ignored.
Both We're in the isolationist Camp
before the war. But since the war came.
Senator Vandenberg has b~roadened in
viewpoint while Senator Taft clings to
his pre-War narrowness of vision. Ros-
Q Drummond, Washington cores
pondent of the Christian Science Mont
tor, focuses attention on their voting in
crucial periods of recent legislation.
Senator V~andenberg, he says voted
for the Trade Agreements Act re-

Resources Planning Board; he led the
fight for passage of the Breton Woods

Seventh Street Saved

With more than six hundred per-
sons crowding the Council chamber
and halls in the City Hall, armed with
a petition containing 731 names pro-
testing conversion Of Seventh street
into a truck lane, the Council yester-
day rejected the State Highway Com
MISSIONS proposal to divide truck traf-
fic between Third and Seventh streets.
That this action was in conformity
with the wish of a large segment of
Wilmington's population is obvious. It
is also obvious that for the Council to
have adopted the State Highway Com
missions proposal would have placed
it in a situation it could not hope to
explain.
No alternative route was adopted,
which was as commendable as the re-
lection of Seventh street.~By withhold
ing it's decision the Council can now de-
vote time to the serious study of. a
route which will not endanger private
property, either by fire or by damage
to walls and windows from vibration
when oil transports thunder past.
Public sentiment is rapidly crystaliz-
ing for an around-the-city lane, such
as exists in other North Carolina cities.
AS the Council members are stewards
of the public, committed to serve as
the public will, it is it's duty to heed the
demand for a truck lane skirting the
city, or an equally satisfactory plan.

The Right Man

1t is possible to appraise Lewis W.
Douglas as a better democrat because
be could not stomach new deal spend
ing. Although the dyed-in-the-Wool new
dealers - the few who remain - op-
pose his nomination to be United States
Ambassador at London, because of his
break with President Roosevelt over
the administrators extravaganza, it
has been made very clear that Mr..
Douglas enjoys the favor of the con-
sentative democratic bloc in the Senate
and the outspoken support of republican
senators, including Senator Vanden-
berg, chairman of the Foreign Rela-
lions Committee, which will pass on his
eligibility for the vital post to which
President Truman has named him.
Having been in the United States
House Of Representatives and, for a
time, Director of the Budget, Mr..
Douglas comes to the new duties, pro-
posed for him with a background of
public service.
The one aspect Of his selection which
creates some wonder is that until Mr..
Truman sent his name to the Senate
he had not figured in the a~mbassadorial
picture. The White House guarded well
it's secret while all preparations, includ-
ing Mr.. Douglas consent, were under
way.
With the appreciation of such men
as James F. Byrnes, Fred Vinson,
Senator Vandenberg and Sir John Bal
four, charge d'affaires of the British
Embassy, - all men whose judgement
may be relied upon, the people Of the
United States may feel that President
Truman has picked the right mar for
the post Max Gardner was to have TAX
len when death interviewed against him.

"Imperialistic

The Russian press, fully controlled
by the Moscow government, is con-
tinually attacking the United States on
the charge of i%mperialistic armament.
This, despite the cuts already made in
the military establishment and the eff
forts of certain cliques in Congress to
reduce President Truman's budget re-
quest for S11, 200, 900, 900 by some &c..
OOO. 900, 600, with the chance that they
will get at least 1850, 000, 900 strick.
en- from the appropriation when the
budget is finally created.
While the Soviet press is making its
claims the Russian budget, which is
estimated at $40, 900, O0O, 1000 as against
Mr.. Truman's s37, SOC, 00o, 900, calls fol-
s12,6 coo, 900, 900 for the armed forces
The minimum appropriation for the
Russian Air Force is estimated at ST.
500, 900, 900. If Moscow spends this
amount of money for its Air Force 1t
will come up with much greater
strength in the air than the United
States can create on the smaller amount
designated for our Air Force.
Which nation, in light of these fig
ures. is chargeable with imperialistic
armament?
With this showing in mind it is
reasonable to say that, whatever Rus
sia's needs in the wake of the war, no
penny of American money should go
to Russia in the form of a loan, for
which Russia is even now knocking at
our Treasury door. On evidence OF
Russia's predisposition to convert funds
and food contributed by the United
States for rehabilitation of war-swept
countries under Russia's domination,
to her own uses, there is every reason
to think that any money loaned the
Moscow government would go into the
tools of wal which all too easily could
be used against the United States in
event another war should come.
We would be in a similar position
to that existing before Pearl Harbor
when we allowed Japan to buy petroleum
and scrap iron here only to have it used
in the Japanese attack upon US. One
lesson of this sort ought to be enough.

No Bonds For Sanatorium

Because of some misapprehension by
groups in Wilmington it is important
to emphasize that the proposal to con.
struct and operate a county tuberculosis
sanatorium does not involve 3 bond
issue.
On the contrary, the $500, 900 it is
intended to invest in building and equip
ment is already in hand and the Board
OF County Commissioners has com
mltted itself SO to employ it.
The only reason for holding an elec-
ton is to gain public consent to the
levying Of a minor tax, not to exceed
s cents Oh the $500 valuation, with the
revenue therefrom used to maintain
the institution.
Remember-there is to be no bond
issue.
Remember-the money for the plant
IL available.
Remember, too that the tax would
De so minute that nobody's tax bill
would be increased sufficiently to i'm
pose a financial burden.
Remember also that the need for
4 tuberculosis sanatorium is pressino
1t IS only by creating such an institu-
tlon that victims of the great white
plague" whether the disease is ful]v
developed Or still incipient, can have the
only treatment which promises to re.
store them to health and useful, produc-
tive lives.
Remember that only through hav-
ing a sanatorium, with it's special SER
vices, which include Array examina-
tons, can the general public have any
assurance OF avoiding the dread disease,
tuberculosis is exceedingly commu-
nlcable. The isolation of persons upon
Whom the disease has fastened, is the
best safeguard of public health, so far
as this particular curse is concerned.
Wilmington and New Hanover
county voters will have DISCHARGED a
public duty if they support the proposal.
Contrariwise, by voting it down they
will subject themselves and their fam
lies to the possibility of contracting
tuberculosis. There can be no reasonable
excuse for failure to vote for the sana-
torium. .

Today's hand Vas played by
Cecil Head Of New York when he
and his teammates won the North
eastern team-of-four champion
ship.
When South jumped to four
hearts and West went to five clubs,
Head was confronted with quite
a problem. There might be a slam
in the hand, and on the other hand,
the spade suit might be punched
against him.
However, he felt that his part
ner, West, would not have made a
free bid of five clubs if he were
not prepared to have East bid
spades. West correctly passed the
five-spade bid because he had no
quick tricks in anything but clubs.
North won the opening heart
lead with the ace and returned
the three of diamonds, which Head
won with the king. He played a
small club to dummy's king and
returned a small spade, winning
with the queen.
Now a careless player might
have led another club to dummy
and North would have ruffed it,
defeating the contract. But Head
realized that both North and South
were marked with plenty of hearts,
so he simply led the queen of
hearts and trumped with the six
Of spades. The nine of spades was
played back, North went in with
the ace and returned another dia-
mona. Head won this and cashed
his high trump, making the. on
tract of five-odd.
II East had passed five clubs
WIN a spade opening, the oppo-
nents would have taken the first
iour trlcks-the ace of spades. a
spade ruff, the ace of hearts and
another spade ruff.
