BEOGRAD, 4. maja-Izgleda,
da je glavna pozornost v pellet
mem nacrtu Jugoslavije posvece-
ma tezki industriji, katere osno-
va je zelezo. Leta 1889 je bilo
Jugoslaviji izkopanih 613,OOO
ton zeleza-vecinoma "a izvoz.
Vlada racuna, da bo produkci-
je zeleza zvisala "a petkrat. To
je ena cd najtezjih nalog pet

Ostali projekti Sc nanasajo ma
ne-zelezne rude. Baker, swine,
cink in aluminij so potrebni "a
elektrifikacijo. Pred vojno so Sc
'prakticno vsi rudniki nahajali v
tujih rokah. Produkcija svinca
in cinka je znasala cd 700 do 800
tisoG ton letno.

le poljedelske Sole namenom,
da Sc pri poljedelstvu uporabijo

torjev, kooperativna kmetijstva

Financiranje petletnega nacr-
lta je glavni problem. Nekaj bo

cording to the John y. Sweets captain,

for alarm.

Stop Crime Wave

When Judge George L. Peschau de-
clared in Recorders Court that the
crime wave has become SO bad "that
it is unsafe for citizens to be on the
streets after dark" he issued a chal-
lenge to the Police Department that
cannot go UNDECIDED.
In binding a Negro over to Superior
Court on a charge of highway robbery,
the Judge prefaced his challenge with
the remark that "this crime wave must
be stopped" That he had ample rea-
son for his remarks is proved by the
many hold-ups and break-ins of recent
weeks. No day passes that the news
papers fail to contain articles reveal
ing more and holder crimes.
The Police Department has been
through a trying period Of late that
shook it's morale. Public security and
individual safety have suffered.
But that period is past. The con-
census is that the Department has a
capable executive in the person Of
Hubert Hayes, elevated u the chief
taincy from the detective squad.
The Wilmington public. BY md large,
has confidence in hia ability 70 direct

The bill is not in the form that Pres
ident Truman wished. Whether he
will veto it, if the Senate approves it
substantially as passed by the House,
is a moot question. AS he is known
to desire suspension of wartime bu-
reau controls as rapidly as may be safe
ly done, it is possible he may decide
to sign on the dotted line even if the
bill does not have his personal approval.

Editorial Comment
SMALL BUT VITAL

The United States has a responsibility to
resident enemy Aliens who made valuable
contributions to the American war effort and
SO proved their loyalty to a universal demo
cratic ideal transcending ties Of blood. I'm
der existing immigration laws, many of these
are now deportable to their native Germany
or Japan, where narrow nationalism would
write them Town as TRAITORS"
A bill before Congress (R. H. 245) proposes
to allow such persons to remain in the United
States. Though they are few in numbers, their
case is deserving of greatest sympathy and
tests the sincerity of democratic professions,
1t is not in the American tradition to use al
Individual for what he is worth, then toss him
tor. ~

WASHINGTON, - 1t all depends
on who says what-When and
where and how. For instance:
The other day a fella who used
to be considered pretty important
got up and said, High prices of
today are more dangerous to free
enterprise than the Communist
Party of the U. S. has ever been"
1t wasn't Henry Wallace who
said this from a soap box in Eu-
rope. But suppose it had been.
The cries of anguish that would
have i s e from Republican
leaders, the NAM, and other SIM
liar minded parties would have
been enough to drown the neigh
bors' radio. 1t would have been
denounced as New Dealism or
pro-labor, left wing propaganda
intended to destroy the free en-
terprise system.
1t may come as a shock, there
fore, to know that the quote above
came from good old conservative
ALT Landon, addressing the Re.
publican National Committee al
Kansas City.
It was Governor Landon, O.
course. who led the Republican
Party in the worst licking it evel
got. Therefore, he speaks as al
authority on what it takes to bea.

meeting Of the party bosses hi
showed no restraint in giving
them several pieces of his mind

Congressional authority over
tariff rates and excess profits
which it should not hesitate to use
by drastically lowering the first
and taxing the second. if neces-
sary-is a powerful weapon to en-
courage industrial and labor lead
ers alike to work together towards
a sensible price structure
Note again that this is not Hen

don advocating those good Dem,
ocratic doctrines of soak the

cures for Communism.
What the governor had to say
to the party bosses, however, ap'
parently went right over theil
heads. They missed the signif
icance just as Republican major
tiles in Congress seem to be miss
ing it.

Rent Control Bill

The Associated Press dispatch deal
ing with the rent control bill passed
by the House says that landlords are
authorized to raise rents Is per cent
in return for a two-year lease if the
tenant agrees. 1t does not explain
what happens if the tenant does not
agree.
Is the landlord expected to leave
the tenant in possession Of the dwell
ing at the old rentals if the tenant does
not agree, or may the landlord throw
him out on his ear? This is a question
that should be cleared up. The Senate
will have an opportunity to do so when
the bill reaches the upper branch of
Congress.
The bill continues control until the
first of next year, but gives the Pres.
ident authority to extend the time I'm.
til March 81 if he sees fit. At the
same time, the measure bars the fed
eral government from exercising con.
trolls in any town, city or county where
the local government declares they are
not necessary. This is to say fedora
control of rents can be stopped where
) the Jurisdiction of a local government
begins. Furthermore, the bill doe.

THE SLING AND THE ARROW,
by Stuart Engstrand Creative
Ace. c2l

Herbert Dawes, a successful,
mlddle-aged dress designer. mar
ried to beautiful Lonna. lives in
an expensive home fronting on d
west-coast beach.
Lonna loves him and he, in his
way, loves her. But it is a pc
culiar way, marked by very spe-
clal eXactlons a n d requirements.
Primarily he labors to protect her
from e worries. work and
troubles which usually fall to a
Woman's lot. He himself makes
her dresses, flat and snug at hips
and chest so that they conceal her
femininity, and he insists that her
hair be combed tight to her head;
he s%upervises the maid in the
kitchen, does much of the cook
ing, arranges the flowers and sill
yer on the table; and he does not
allow her to have children.
AS the novel opens, she has for
a change disregarded his prefer
ences and appears to greet him,
when he returns from the office,
wearing a fluffy dress and with
her hair brushed out loosely. His
deep annoyance is increased when
she again brings up the subject
of children and suggests, even
warns, that if his opposition con
tinues, she'll have a child with
someone else"
He is upset still further when
she tells him that the Burnsides
have come back to the house next
door: he detests the Burnside
youngsters and he once had a fist
fight with the father though
it a less a fight than a beat
ing, for Herbert, cringing in fear,
let himself be battered without a
blow in self-detense.
When Herbert and Lonna go for
a swim, he makes a dramatic, al
most a melodramatic, effort to
protect her again for he tries 10
kill a shark he imagines he sees.
When he comes out of the water,
he discovers that he has tried, i'll
stead, to kill his wife.
Fortunately, most men escape
the dilemma which bedevils Her
bert and which, existing within
his own beWildered personality.
provides the conflict in the novel.
It's a tragedy and is SO treated,
earnestly and frankly. The incl.
dents often seem to enter the field

"Fame's Elusive Light"

1t was John Trowbridge, ar incon-
s%picuous writer of verse who survives
chiefly in anthologies, who wrote about
flames Elusive Light"
eff you will observe. it doesn't take
A man of giant mould to make
A giant shadow on the wall
Radio fans just had opportunity to
learn how truly ~Trowbridge summed
up the illusiveness of fame. A pro-
gram was on the air in which was told
the story of Rudolph Valentines career
and the all but universal mourning fol-
lowing his death in 1926.
Valentino was a film actor in the
silent era. He possessed some talent,
especially where the "graces" were in
volved, but his chief appeal, if he were
a"ting now instead of nearly a gener-
alton ago, would be to b~obby-soxers.
When he died many afternoon news
papers put out extra editions with
streamers in box car type. One we
know of used inverted rules as in the
case of a Presidents passing.
These same papers carried a brief
notice of the death of Charles William
Eliot, seldom more than a paragraph,
which happened about the same time.
Remember Doctor Eliot? It was
he who compiled the Five Foot Shelf
of Books" The set may be in your
library now, but how often do you dip
into their treasure? And how much
do you know about this mans contri-
button to Americas educational and
cultural advancement?
DR.. Eliot was president of Harvard
University for forty years. He wrote
extensively. He required higher-than-
ordinary entrance qualifications and
raised the level of graduate standards.
He worked with nine others to improve
the situation Of secondary schools. He
