concerning the place the United Ma
tons should have in this proposal Is
interesting reading.
They may be counted on to dis
pei any doubt of the s%oundness OF the
need for this country's aid to both ma
lions in their extremity and overcome
the biased position taken by Andrel
Gromyko in his address at Lake Sue
cess. when he declared Turkey should
be eliminated from American aid and
aid to Greece should be administered
bv a special United Nations commits
sion.
The United States has no selfish aim
but is stirred only by humanitarianism,
whereas Soviet Russia has the ambi-
ton to drag Greece into it's net and
would impose any burden upon Tur-
key that would give the Moscow re-
gime full control of the Dardanelles,
with Russian forts on Turkish soil
to assure a free, possibly oppressive,
route to the Mediterranean. 1t is not
possible to read Mr.. Gromyko's re-
marks without wondering if Russia
would be so positive in it's attitude if
Russia were not chiefly concerned
with empiric expansion.

Second Fishing Rodeo

The Southeastern North Carolina
Beach Association which did more to
harmonic the efforts of our resorts
in it's first year Of operation than his
tory previously records, is making its
bid for larger support with the purpose
of drawing more visitors to the area
during the coming vacation season.
Naturally the immediate demand is
for financial backing. One would sup
pose that as a result of last years
success residents of Wilmington and
the entire area would come forward
with contributions, but it is reported
that the Association is having diff.
Guilty raising the amount of money nee
essary to carry on, on the larger scale
programmed for this year. There is
really no sound excuse for anyone in
business in all Southeastern North
Carolina, and particularly in Whining
ton to draw his purse strings, because
the greater patronage to be foreseen
inevitably will bring larger business
revenues everywhere.
The money sought is not properly
to be considered in the light of dona-
tons. Rather it is an investment, and
a splendid investment at that. The
general public interest in the second
Fishing Rodeo, which is a main feature
of the Associations plans for the sum

And everybody who comes spends

Washington Points the Way

Washington is to hold a Cherry Bios
som Festival next week. 1t is thought
the trees around the Tidal Basin and
along Haynes Point will be in full bloom
by then and that thousands of visitors
will pour into the capital to create
worse traffic disorder than usual but
also to leave some of their money be-
hir !. in restaurants, hotels and stores.
This is the first spring since 1941
that Washington is to capitalize On its
cherry blossoms. When the war came
along and it was pointed out that the
trees were a gift to the United States
from the then Empress Of Japan, the
capital was too busy and the people
generally too mad to continue the
yearly festival. It was not until some
time later that it became known the
trees were not from Japan at all but
Korea, but everybody was still too mad
at Japan to care a hang, and so Wash
ington has waited until this spring to
resume the festival.
There is something IN this event
that should have special meaning to
Wilmingtonians. Cherry blossoms in
Washington are no more to be COM
pared with ~azaleas for sheer beauty
than a %surrealist picture compares with
4 Michaelangelo.
But Washington is attracting public
attention to it's cherry trees through
q festival.
Another year must not pass without
Wilmington doing as much for its
aZaleas.

WHAT is INSIDE THE
BEEN!

Jumping beans come from Mex
leo and Central America. 1t is not
the bean that jumps, but a little
caterpillar inside.
A tree which grows in sWamps
has curious three-cornered fruit
divided into three parts, like little
pods. In two of these pods are
small seeds; the third often con
tains a tiny caterpillar and is
what we call the jumping bean.
Before the tree can have Its
fruit it must, of course, bear flow
ers. A gray moth visits those flow
ers. and in part of each deposits
an egg. The part which contains
the egg grows with the rest OF the
flower but, instead of becoming
a pod for the seed of the tree, it
turns into a home for the larva.

from the egg. Later the flowers

What Keeps a Projectile From
Falling?
Not only does the shell of a gun
not fall to the ground at once
when fired, but it always travels
in a curve of a certain kind. AL
things travel along paths OF this
particular kind. when they are
thrown in a forward direction.
The path taken is the result of
the working together of all the
forces that act on, or in, the shell.
If the shell were simply allowed
to roll from the mouth of the gun,
it would fall at once to the ground
for the only force then acting upon
it to any extent would be the
steady pull of the earth.
But when the shell is fired, it
leaves the gun in a certain direc-
ton and with a certain amount of
force. and though Newton's low of
gravitation says that the earth is
pulling the shell, his first law o.
motion says that every moving
thing tends to move or in the
same straight line at the same
speed forever.
The actual path of the shell is
the result of the acting together
of several forces. Sooner or later
gr%avitation gets the upper hand,
especially as the resistance of the
air helps it. But for every moving
thing-a shell or an atom of gas
in the air, or anything else-there
is a certain speed at which it
would leave the earth altogether.
What Is an Allergy?
Medicine has not yet determin-

there is little doubt that many all

of allergy - hay fever, for in
stance. Some people cannot
breathe the pollen from certain
plants, others cannot be near cats
or horses or dust, without starting
to sneeze.
1t is also true that certain foods
which are wholesome for most
people cause others to faint or to
show other signs of illness. There
are some people who are poisoned
by raw apples, in spite Of the
saying, "An apple a day keeps

from the Wall Street Journal:
"Chancellor of the Exchequer Dal-
ton and food boss Strachey are the only
physically fit cabinet heavyweights.
Foreign Minister Bevin's heart has
been giving him trouble. Herbert Nor
rison, Commons leader, is slowly max
ing a Riviera recovery from an attack
Of thrombosis. Sir Stafford Grips,
Board of Trade president, is bothered
with insomnia. Health Minister Bevin
has Just gotten over a bout with pneu-
monia."
According to the Journal, political
prophets forecast that Mr.. Bevin will
auit the Foreign Office and devote his
time to economic recovery at home.
They believe Mr.. Dalton will succeed
Mr.. Bevin at the Foreign Office, and
that Mr.. Morrison will fall heir to the
Treasury job now held by Mr.. Dalton.
unless it goes to Mr.. Grips.
1t is noted that Mr.. Dalton is an
internationalist and, as the Journal
puts it, though enough to look out for
British interests in the present era

This year the Vanderbilt Cup
Tournament for the national
knockout team-of-four champion
ship broke all records when A
teams turned out for the event.
This tournament has always had
a lot of color and the finest play
ers participate in it.
Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, sec
rotary of the Vanderbilt Guy
Committee, was on hand for the
first time since the war. During
the a Albert H. Morehead act
ed as secretary. With the Gen
erals return, MI. Morehead re
signed, so did the General. ane
Charles Lochridge was elected
secretary.
Lochridge is one of the coun
try's most colorful players. He al
ways can be counted upon for E
spectacular bid or play, and he
did not disappoint the crowd wher
today's hand came up in the Van
derbilt.
How would you like to have
been sitting opposite Lochridgt
when, over a simple bid of one
spade, he bid six? Discussing the
hand afterwards, Lochridge said
my partners bid showed tina
he had five or six spades. There
is no law against his having five
or six to the ace-jack-ten. He mas

if he is void in diamonds, and il
he has any diamonds, one of them
can be the king in which case
there is nothing to it."
Lochridge's explanations make
the game sound pretty simple

dummy went down, there was
nothing to it. The opening hear
lead was won with the ace, g
