 Playing picked up bit in the second quarter, with Forrest con- meeting three times. Dapcevich sank another and Tyvoll got foul shot. For the ACS, Buoy and Tucker sank one each and Uher made point on free throw. That left the ACS in the dust of IS to 8 halftime score.
 In the third period, the Vets heightened their lead to what looked like safe margin with an- other six points, while Uher of the ACS made field goal and free throw. Dapcevich, Forrest and Lowell shared the Vet points.
 Despite a 10-point lead for their opponents, the ACS boys went to work in the fourth period to give the Vets a bad time. They came close to tying the game up before the final horn blew, and only a basket sunk by Tyvoll of the Vets took their chance away.
 Powell came back into the game of the ACS after a third quarter rest, and sank one. Hard play ing Uher sank three. They might have been able to run the game into an overtime period, for they were but two points behind when Tyvoll put in his shot. That just about ended things, and the final score stood at 23 for the Vets to 19 for ACS.
 High point man for the game was Uher of the ACS, with 12, followed by Forrest of the Vets, with TO- With nine free throws for eight ACS fouls, the Vets made only one point. The ACS, with five chances on four Vet fouls, sank three.

the impending departure of Rabbi
Joseph Gumbiner, according to
the Congregation president, Will
liam Davidson. A notice of the

so that the new Rabbi will be
able to assume his new duties for
the High Holy Days.
Rabbi Joseph H. Gumbiner re-
ouested to be relieved of his con-

CHAPLAIN
REPRIMANDED

BERLIN (JPS) - 1t. Mayer
Abramowitz, Palestine-born US.
Army Chaplain who refused
Chaplain's sanction for Jewish
GIs who wanted to marry Ger
man girls, received, in effect, a
reprimand from his commanding
officer, Colonel Brian L.. Milburn,
us. Commander in Berlin. The
Colonel said chaplain Abramo-
WITT is entitled to his opinion, but
l believe that refusing to permit
the marriage of an American
Jewish soldier to German Gen
tile would be as incorrect as for
bidding the marriage of a Catho-
lie to a Protestant" He added
that if marriage applicants meet
all other requirements none will
be disapproved on racial or religi-
Gus grounds.
Chaplain Abramow1tz had said
at a press conference that he had
refused IA Jewish GIs his sanction
to marry frauleins because in his
opinion the girls only reason for
getting married was the prospect
of a ticket to America. He ex-
pressed doubt whether marriage
between Jewish GIs and German
girls, still mouthing the Nazi line,
could be successful.

CZECH WORKERS OBJECT
RETURNING FACTORY

PRAGUE (WNS) - A labor
strike in the Warnsdorf district OF
Bohemia has forced the govern
ment to retake possession of fac
tory which had previously been
restored to Emil Bear, a Jewish
industrialist whose property had
been confscated during the Nazl
occupation.
The strikers protested that Bear
had been engaged in Germanizlng
Czech industry before the war
and that he had lived in London
during the war. They demanded
that Bear be deported and that
the Judge who decreed the re-
storation of Bears property be
removed from office.
After an attack on the indus
trialist by the mob, Bear was TAX
en- into protective custody and, it
has been reported, after having
been summoned to the local gov
ernment office, was given 10 min
utes to sell his property to the
government.
Bear, who is over 70 years old,
registered as a Jewish national IN
the census of 1880. The record
shows that, although he lived in a
district predominantly German,
he supported Czech schools. His
son served in the Czech forces
with the British Army.

threat of a Jail sentence, if necessary,
to pay for any damage resulting from
his carelessness. The point is that he
should be held responsible for not only
for his disregard for others property
but the lives of innocent people.
Perhaps some Fire Chiefs follow
this suggested procedure now. But we
believe legislation to tighten up any
existing loop-holes should be incorpor-
ated in any new fire-prevention meas
ures contemplated in North Carolina
and elsewhere as a result of the wave
Of hotel blazes.
To think that it would stop this
frequent cause of fire is hoping for
too much. But it would tend, we are
sure, to reduce the number. Wellpub-
licized, justified fines or other punish
ment would make many a careless per-
son think twice before running the
risk of being responsible for a major
disaster.

Too Contradictory

The future of the federal govern
ment's proposed program to provide
Jobs, in case of a recession, through
various types of public projects ap-
pears uncertain under the Truman .ad-
ministration.
Right now, the nations Chief Ex-
ecutiye seems to be quite undecided
about the pump-priming merits of pub
lie works.
In his annual budget message, he
told Congress that public works "con-
tribute to the productive capacity and
taxpaying ability of the nation" and
hat "their expansion in hard times
will make their contributions greater"
Only two days before, he had said
in his Economic report that public
works are of little help in stabilizing
the nations economy. He gave two
reasons. First, in cast Of severe en-
ployment they cannot be undertaken
in sufficient volume and avoid other
supplemental programs and, second,
they cannot be undertaken fast enough
in periods of mild recession to be eff
fective.
This contradictory stand need not
be taken as cause for great alarm.
But it does indicate a policy weakness
which, if the nation is to have such
a program, should be corrected and
strengthened before it may become
too late to do so. =.

national w. C. Fields college for

In view of his pretended hatred for
youngsters, this may be considered his
last gag. But chances Of it taking its
place among his other stunts are slim.

More Prosecution Needed

The current issue of Life magazine
carries an excellent article on what
experts are doing to prevent a repeti-
ton of hotel conflagations of last year,
the worst in recent U. S. history.
Well illustrated, it explains how
open shafts send flames, sweeping
through buildings. 1t places consider
able emphasis on correction of this
architectural weakness. But the COM
ment ends in a note of defeatism with
the last sentence reading, "But no laws
or structural barriers can curb the care
less smoker or the drunken match
dropper who started hundreds of the
thousands of minor hotel fires in 1896"
We agree. But at the same time
we contend something can be done to
punish those dangerous persons.
Since the Atlanta hotel disaster we,
like many others, have become more
fire conscious. In that frame of mind,
we've noticed several news stories,
including one in Raleigh, of fires be-
ing eXtinguished in hotel rooms. All
were caused by careless or drunken
guests. Yet, not one line in any of
these reports has said anything about
the guilty person being prosecuted.
AS a comparison, take the reckless
or intoxicated automobile operator. If
he causes an accident, he is usually
arrested, hailed into court and punish
ed for his misconduct. That is quite
proper. In fact, the more Of this type
arrest made, the safer our highways
will become.
Why isn't the same principle ap-
plicable to the irresponsible hotel
guest?
If he is intoxicated when the fire
men arrive, they should order his ar
rest. He should also be forced, through

March OF Dimes

Preparations for Wilmington's parti-
!cipation in the annual March of Dimes
have been completed.
The campaign appears assured of
good leadership and the committees
plans for everyone to have an oppor-
tunity to contribute are thorough. AS
far as the efforts of these good, citizens
contributing their time and effort to the
financial appeal are concerned, the drive
should be a success.
But whether it is doesn't depend on
this group as much as it does you.
The cause-to finance the reverend
ing war against infantile paralysis - is
so we'll known that there is no need to
go into detail explaining the fine work
of the National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis.
But a brief review of the tremendous
size of this health problem during the
past year is in order.
A total of 25,204 cases of polio oc-
Cured in the United States during
1916 as the worst epidemic since 1916
swept through % states. Three of
these-Minnesota, Illinois and Cali
fornia-each had more than 1000
children stricken.
1t was only a few years ago that
North Carolina was high on the list
of states swept by the dreaded dis
ease. And many a Tar Heel remem-
bers the wonderful work done for the
stricken children. The Foundation
poured thousands and thousands of
dollars into the state, did everything
it could, with the cooperation of
health authorities and others, to check
the disease and to save as many vic
Tins as possible.
In view of the 1916 epidemic, the
Foundations need for financial assis-
lance is greater than ever before. On
March Is, it will launch it's national
campaign with aims to raise at least
-s24, 900, 900.
Wilmington's assignment of a goal
of $4,000 is not a large one, is fully
in keeping with its population and
its ability to give. In fact, Chairman
W. K. Rhodes has expressed the be-
lief that the citizenry, realizing the
desperate need for money to ~replenish
the fund reduced during the immedi-
ately past epidemic, will subscribe gen.
erously and surpass the quota.
But this much is certain. If the
drive is to be successful it will de-
pend on no M but you. No matter
how hard the leaders try and how
well they make their plans, your con-
tribution, large or small, will deter
mine whether the goal is attained and
over subscribed. So, make your plans
now to give to your limit to this won
derful cause.
