The Wilmington morning star., 1947-03-30

The tourist business is one OF the
oldest and most valuable in South
eastern No1 tn Cardinals economic life.
It rightfully deserves that position.
Favored by miles of some OF the
finest beaches on the Atlantic, utillza-
ton of this geographical gift has grown
through a period of many years. The
result, because it is more accessible
than the greater part of North Caro-
lina's coastline, is that the region has
long been considered the states princi-
pal seaside, summer playground. In
fulfilling that role, millions of dollars
have been brought into it's various COM
munities with Wilmington, the trading
center, eventually reaping the greatest
share of this wealth.
But the material benefits to be re-
allied from this and other fine natural
resources have not been as great as
they should be. Full promotion has sell
dom been effected because efforts were
more often individual than through
unity of the various resorts. Mean
while, many an additional vacation dol
lar has gone elsewhere.
Realizing this, an interested, able
and determined group of businessmen
from the area organized the South
eastern North Carolina Beach associa-
ton last year. The program adopted
is a simple, direct me: The greatest de-
velopment possible for all the beaches
so that the returns in community wealth
will be what they should be. Arrange
ment of special events, such as the
Fishing Rodeo, to interest potential vlsl-
tors, advertising and publicity to make
the resorts better known to more Tar
Heels and other vacationists and crea-
ton of improved year-around facilities
are some of the means this group de-
cided to take in effecting its general
purpose.
The beginning was highly success
full.
Last years Fishing Rodeo surpassed
all expectations in attracting hundreds
of anglers who spent thousands of
dollars. It's warm reception inspired
greater things this year, along with

Good Yardstick
Wilmington's municipal election
AZ days away.

Wilmington's municipal election is
AZ days away.
Interest in potential candidates is
beginning to be more than an infre-
quent topic of conversation.
One incumbent has filed, another
has publicly disclosed his desire for
reelection and a third has said he will
not run. The number of out-in-the-open
candidates was increased to three Fri
day as a young man announced. Sew
eral prominent citizens have been men
toned as being good council material.
You, doubtless, have heard the names
of some of them but We'll not 60 into
that right now.
But the candidate who will deserve
your vote must promise-and be able
to deliver the goods-four highly i'm
portant things. They are:
Mot to increase the tax rate.
2-Not to reduce the salary of any
employe.
3-Not to curtail standard services
but rather improve them and see that
recently annexed areas receive all the
utilities and other benefits promised
when the City limits were extended.
4-Full determination to do his share
in continuing the community progress
of recent years.
Anyone, incumbent or otherwise,
who will make that four-fold pledge
and has the ability and integrity to
carry it through during his term in
office is a good candidate. 1t is a
yardstick by which all must be meas
ured.

Better Think Twice

A measure that would "probaby'
outlaw the Communist party in North
Carolina is now in the legislature.
1t would make it a felony to adj
vocate overthrow of organized govern.
ment by force or violence. 1t woulc
also bar all printed matter advising
ov"erturning the government by unlaw'
full means. Organizing or belonging
to a group with that doctrine would
be a major crime.
Under those terms, it would place
the state in position to touch off
crusade against suhversive elements
At first glance, the bill appears
to be a good safeguard.
But switch from Raleigh to Wash
ington for a moment.
Appearing before a Congressional
committee a few days ago, FBI Direc.

doubts" of the wisdom of outlawing
the Communist party on a nationwide
basis.

a group not deserving the category
of martyrs made martyrs by some law
which might later be declared uncon-
stitutional."
He then expressed a preference for
fighting Communism with Exposure
"The mad march of Red Fascism is
a cause for concern in America" he
said, "but the deceit, the trickery and
the lies of the American communists
are catching up with them They
know that today it is a fight to the
finish and that their backs will soor
be to the wall"
We agree with Mr.. Hoover, who is

country to give advice against this evil

While the poll is a good index
of general feeling about the way
the President is handling his job,
nevertheless it's results should not
be taken to mean that so per cent
of the nations voters w 0 | d
necessarily vote for Mr.. Truman
if an election were held today.
In fact, Republicans have con-
tributed II ore to Truman's come
back as shown in today's poll
than Democrats have. Many Re
publicans al satisfied with him
because of lis handling of Mr..
Lewis, because Of his new tough
er policy toward Russia, and be-
cause they feel that the indecisior
and confusion which many saw
in the Administrator early day:
ar now absent.
But this does not mean tina
these same Republicans woulc
vote TO. MI. Truman, the Demo
crat, at the next election.
A BETTER indication OF the
election strength of the partie.

kept by the Institute. In this, vo.

other undertakings, to build-up the
regions recreational attractions.
But the association, like all worth
while ones, cannot attain it's aims unless
it is properly financed.
Because it is a civic proposition, from
which practically all benefit, it will be-
gin the solicitation Of memberships
from individuals, business firms and
municipalities in the area tomorrow.
It's goal is $4,000, of which $4,000
will go for the Rodeo, to support a
w%ell-rounded annual budget.
The response will determine the
future of the association.
If it is good, then the body will go
forward in becoming the greatest single
force in channeling in more tourist dol
lars, via the beaches, into the three
counties.
If this financial appeal fails, the as
ISOLATION will be unable to function. In
stead of it's valuable, united program,
each beach will be back where it was
before this regional effort came into
being.
To the informed, it is hardly neces-
sary to outline the dollar-in-your-pocket
advantages Of it.
By encouraging thousands to visit
who would not otherwise do So, it is
attracting and releasing money into
the various communities in a manner
comparable to industry and agriculture.
And it does the greater part Of this
at a time when other communities less
favored by location and nature are suf-
fering the traditional summer slump"
This means greater employment and
resultant trade. Its investment in ma
terial development produces greater
taxable valuation in New Hanover and
the other counties. And eventually
it may be a day or months later-fully
80 per cent out of each dollar comes
into Wilmington, because of it's strategic
position as background for the beaches
life.
Because of these and many other
reasons, it is easy to realize that men,
bership in the Southeastern North Caro-
lima Beach association is not a dona-
ton. 1t is a real business investment.

The Gallup Poll
Popularity OF Truman Shows Another
Upswing On New Foreign Policy Turn
Poll Finds so Per Cent Oh
Voters Satisfied With
Presidents Work
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of PuhliC Onininn

oAAS opAAAAOA
PRINCETON, N. j., March
29.-Few persons in politica
life have had such a drama.
tic upswing in popularity as
President Truman.
Today 60 per cent of voters
polled by the Institute, OF
throughout the nation six in
every ten, say they approve
OF the way he is handling his
JOB as president.
That represents a 12point jump
IN populal'' since early February,
and a Phenomenal grin of % per
centage points since last October,
when the presidential popularity
curve reached its low point.
In the five months since Repub-
licans won control of Congress.
Mr.. Truman's popularity with
the people has almost doubled.
Polltlal observers will indulge
in a good deal of speculation as
to possible reasons to account for
the rise. At least two reasons
seem outstanding:
i The Presidents firm ham
ding of John l.. Lewis won him
wide approval. The first big rise
in presidential popularity since
the November election was during
January after it became apparent
that MI. Humans showdown
with Mr.. Lewis would yield re-
suits.
3 The Administrations pro-
posal for a showdown with Rus
STA over the issue of Greece and
Turkey is approved by a 2-to-1
vote of the public at this stage of
developments.
That was indicated in the re-
turns of an Institute survey re-
ported earlier this week.
The latest jump in Mr.. Tru-
mans popularity comedies with
announcement of the new policy
of attempting to contain" Rus
sian expansion.
THE TREND of Mr.. Tru-
mans popularity is measured at
intervals by the Institute on the
following poll question:
DO you approve or disapprove
of the way Mr.. Truman is handling
his job President"
The vote:
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-03-30

March 5, showed 81 per cent say
ing they would vote Democratic,
40 per cent Republican.
That marked a substantial gain
for the Democratic Party since
last November, when a compare
BILE poll showed As per cent Demo-
cratic. IS per cen Republican.
WHEN Mr.. Truman took
office suddenly and unexpectedly
in Al il, 1915, he had the over
whelming sympathy and support
of his fellow countrymen. j S
popularity in the early months of
his term overshadoWed even that
of his predecessor Franklin D.
Roosevelt. In July, 1945 a total of
81 per cent of the nations voters
polled said they approved of the
way the new president was han
ding his job which vas higher
than the highest point in Mr..
Roosetelt's popularity in the
same type of poll.
Then as reconversion problems
multiplied, Mr. Truman's popu-
larity began to coast downward,
at first gently, then rapidly, the
downswing eliminating in an In
stitute poll figure OF 80 per cent
in October, 1916. There was a
meat shortage, the future of
OPA was in confusion, the ad-
ministration's foreign policy was
also subject to confusion owing
to Henry A. Wallace's speech
which seemingly contradicted the
policies of Secretary of State
Byrnes. Republicans we're cam
paigning effectively on the had
