Deserves Early Decision

The past two days in Washington nave
been important ones for the future of Will
mington's air service.
During the brief period, the Civil Aero
nautics board has been hearing re-argu-
ments in the controversy between Pied
mont Aviation, of Winston-Salem, and
State Airlines, of Charlotte, as to which
will eventually get the feeder" routes
connecting Wilmington with Louisville and
Cincinnati.
AS said quite often in the past, the Star
is not primarily interested in which COM
pany gets the franchise but is anxious that
Wilmington receive the best service avail.
able. That it has been denied this is a most
~aggravating fact.
Wilmington's air connections to the in
terror were suspended last May when
South East Airlines, an unsuccessful peti-
toner of the routes sought by the other
two companies, ceased operations. Pied
mont was originally granted the routes
but protests from State resulted in A
issuing a supplementary decision and re.

Averaging Losses


The Treasury has recon-
mended a revision in the Reve-
nue. Code to permit business to
carry forward its losses for five
years, offsetting them against
taxable profits in that period. 1t
is a step in the direction of
scunder and more equitable
taxation, this newspaper be-
lieves.
Under present law business
does have a five year period
for averaging. 1t can carry
back a loss for any year and
offset it against profits of the
two previous years, adjusting
its tax for those years accord
ingly. And, if there is an un-
used balance of loss this bal
ance can be offset against the
profits of the two ensuing years.
The Treasury proposal, how
ever would eliminate the car
ryback privilege and compen-
safe for it by increasing the
carry-forward period. This idea
seems to be approved by most
business men and accountants.

opening the hearing. At the time this rul-
ing was given, Piedmont was reported
ready to put it's planes into the air.
Thus, on two occasions CAB decisions
nave withheld westward air service from
this community.
Therefore, to relieve the predicament in
which it has placed and keeps Whining
ton. it is its responsibility to render a de-
cision in the Piedmont-State case as soon
as possible. Advices from Washington are
to the effect that such nay be expected

amount of background, obtained in tn e
Southeastern States case, and the new re-
argument, WI see no reason why the fed
eral agency's final ruling shouldn't be Civ

The discrimination Wilmington has suf.
fered should certainly be an incentive for
CAB to apply the most expeditions treat
ment possible in this case.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. On
the first of next month we shall
have another installment of in
flation. 'Installment" is the ap-
propriate word, for the step next
month consists of taking off con-
trolls of installment selling. At
present, a regulation of the Fed
eral Reserve Board puts a limit
on the terms of installment sell
ing; on automobiles it is one
third down and fifteen months
to pay. After Nov. l sellers of
any goods can make the terms
what they please, the lid will
be off. The new terms, if they
are like those practiced before
the war, are likely to be much
more liberal than at present.
Liberal" means the purchas-
er paying a smaller amount as
the down payment and having
a longer time to pay the install
ments. A humorous exaggera-
ton of what went on before the
war was current in many colo
quialisms. One, "A dollar down
and a dollar a month till the
cows come home" Other satiri-
cal exaggerations were "till

you die" or forever"
These humorous exaggerations
imputed folly to persons who
make purchases on the Install
ment plan, and it was
this phase of the installment
practice upon which most of the
criticism of it dwells. But apart
from the individual buyer and
individual seller, and apart from
their respective wisdom or lack
of it, the enlargement of install
ment selling that is certain to
follow removal of government
regulation of it next month goes
to the heart of our national we'll
being at this time.
More credit is, in effect, more
money. 1t means more purchas-
ing power. Increase of purchas-
ing power is looked upon as a
virtue, and under normal condi-
tons commonly is. But present
conditions are utterly abnormal,
dangerously so. Increase of
purchasing power is wholesome
only when it is accompanied by
abundance of goods. At present,
when goods are scarce, increase
of purchasing power means

They Don't Want Him

In a letter published on this page yes
terday from R. O.. Lewis and M. b. Chin
mis- the two Brunswick county commits
sioners who appointed Walter M. Stana-
land sheriff, the impression was left that
the fact their appointee is a loyal Demo
craft" may have been an influence on their
action.
They dwelt at some length as to his &C
tivities in behalf of the party in past years.
Included in their defense of Mr.. Stana-
land was this statement:
SIT seems that regardless Of the good
he has been to the Democratic party and
the county as a whole, there are still a
few that want to condemn and sentence
him again for something that is 20 years
in the past"
How does Brunswick's Democratic par
ty feel toward the appointment Of MI.
Standard, who has resigned twice as
conduct while in office?
The answer came yesterday from the
Executive committee.
It wrote a letter Of protest to the two
commissioners on the selection of Mr..
Standard.
The committee deplored the action as
something which we do not feel our peo-
pie should be subjected to-; an act which,
if not rescinded by you viii disgrace the
county of Brunswick and the state of North
Carolina; and will cast a shadow under
which our coming generation will have to
live for many years"
So, if Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Chinnis are
attaching so much weight to Mr.. Stana-
lands party affiliation and activity. they
might do well to consider this plea from
the highest official spokesman of Bruins
wick's Democrats. In clear, simple words
they have said that they do not want him
as sheriff and their suggestion that his
appointment be %rescinded is one worth
great consideration by the two commits
sioners.
Otherwise, their act may do the Demo
cratic party more damage than anything
that has happened in Brunswick in recent
wears.

End OF Installment Selling Curbs
On Nov. / Called Aid To Initiation

automatically and infallibly
higher prices of goods. The ef-
feet of the removal of govern
ment restrictions or installment
buying next month will be a
definite step in initiation.
It follows closely upon anoth-
err. Some weeks ago veterans
were paid some billions of dol
lars through their cashing Of
terminal leave" bonds, origin
ally issued to be paid off some
years hence. The cash paid to
the veterans was in effect an
immense increase in the quaint
ty of money in the country. 1t
was an increase Of purchasing
power, not accompanied by any
increase in quantity of goods,
and was therefore an automatic
cause of rising prices.
All this goes to the very heart
of initiation. While there is much
argument about the exact defini-
ton of initiation, there is general
agreement upon the basic cause
of it, increase in quantity of
money out of proportion to guam
tity of goods.
Apart from this basic defini-
ton of initiation, there is the
mechanism through which infla-
ton operates. The mechanism
consists of increase in wage
rates (Which is increase of pur-
chasing power), followed by in
crease in cost of producing
goods, which means increase in
prices of goods, increase in cost
of living. This is followed in turn
by still further increases in wage
rates. That upward spiral has
gone on since the end of the
war.
At present, increases in wage
rates are not taking place to a
material degree though OF
course the existing rates are
high, as the sum of increases
that have taken place since the
end of the war. In the other
phase of the initiation spiral
prices of goods are very high
and in process of going higher.
If increase in price of goods,
cost of living, is continued, we
are likely to see in the coming
months a new wave of demands
by labor for higher wage rates.
In short, the initiation mechan-
ism is at this moment going
strong.
The prospect of initiation is a
national emergency. To check it
is an imperative obligation on
the Administrat ion at Washing
ton. The Administration itself is
responsible for much of it.
Among other inflationary actions
the Administrati alton, following the
end of the war, adopted a policy

Battle Of The FBIB
BY T EPSON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 80, Dis
closure that IL employees have
been dropped from the govern
ment's Federal Broadcast Intel
ligence Bureau, "for security
reasons" brings into the open a
battle that has been going on for
months. The inside story is i'm
portant, because it reveals what
is happening in practically every
branch of government today, in
connection with the loyalty
probe of federal employees.
FBIS was created during the
war as Federal Broadcast Intel
ligence Service, a branch of the
Federal Communication Com
mission. It had no connection
with j. Edgar Hoover's FBI. Its
job was to monitor Axis radio
broadcasts to see what line enc
my propaganda was taking.
It's head was DR.. Robert D.
Leigh, former president of Ben
nington College, VT, and more
recently one of the principal au-
thors Of the University of Chica-
60 report on Freedom Of the
Press. He resigned from FB1S
a month before VI Day and
his principal assistant, Russell
Shepherd, was named director.
Shepherd was a young govern
ment career man who, after
graduation from Swarthmore,
had gone to work as an office
boy and worked his way up in
the U. S. Civil Service.
AS soon as the war was over,
Congress wanted to abolish
FBIS to save money.
An agreement was made to
transfer the outfit to Army In
telligence, and it was renamed
FBIB. When the organization
came before Congress for it's ap-
preparation, all it had to do was
cite some SO pieces Of intelli-
gence it had picked out of the
air, of value to the country.
When the new Central Intelli-
gence Group was created, FBIB
was transferred to that hush
hush organization.
Young Shepherd was ambi-
tious and naturally out to make
a good record as an admins
TRAITOR. One of his acts was to
denote four of his principal as
sistants and put them under
men they had formerly super
vised. The down : graded men
naturally didn't like that and
protested. Shepherd then moved
to fire them. That was
last April.
The four wrote a letter of pro-
test to- Lieut.. Gen. Hoyt S. Van
denberg, who was then head of
lC1G.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-31

General Vandenberg ordered
an investigation by his execu-
tive officer, Brig.-Gen. E. l. Sci
bert. Shepherd was given a
clean bill of health. The four
complainants were then called
in and allowed to resign.
The four men who had been
let out took their case to Rep.
Fred E. Busbey, Chicago Re
publican. He is a member OF
Rep. Clare Hoffman's Commit
tee on Expenditures in the Exc
cutive Department. In the last
session he was active in making
charges against State and other
government department en-
gloves who, he said, were Com
munists. =,
Busbey called in Rear Admiral
Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, who
had succeeded Vandenberg as
head of GIG. The Admiral was
told he would have to clean
house and get the Reds out OF
FBIB. or GIG would be doomed.
Among the charges made
against FBIB, two were serious.
First, that FBIB translators
were taking their translatlons OF
foreign broadcasts. If Russia
broadcast something nasty about
the U. S., it was said the trans
lators would either tone it down,
or write in "unclear," indicating
a bad reception they couldn't
understand.
The second charge was that
the translators would hold up
transcripts of damaging broad
casts during important dlplo-
matte negotiations. If Radio
Moscow or one of its satellites
were handing out a line which
might stiffen the American at
titude, the translation would be
delayed a few days until the IS
sue was decided.
Navy Captain Walter Ford,
now executive officer of GIG and
the only authorized spokesman
for FBIB, admits none OF these
charges and even denies that
there has been trouble in FBlB.
But it is known that Shepherd
has been allowed to resign, with
a clean record, but for the good
of the service and to keep peace
with Congress. AS long as any
member of Congress has any
thing against a government ad-
ministrator, the future of his
agency is in danger. The
IL other employees have been
dropped Gas bad security risks"
as a further peace offering to
Congress. There are no specific
charges against them. That's
what working for the govern
ment is like today.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-31

of bringing about increases in
wage rates.
Congress shares with the Ad-
ministration some Of the respon-
sibility for initiation. A cause and
effect of initiation, currently
glazing, is high prices of farm
products, food. On this point the
government practices a policy
called "price support" This
policy is based upon statutes
passed by Congress, some dur
ing the 1930s, when prices Of
farm products were relatively
low, some passed during
the war to stimulate production
of food.
In the emergency today check.
ing initiation is an obligation OF
both the Administration and
Congress. Much of the recent
talk about President Truman
calling a special session
of Congress says the need for it
is the crisis in Europe. The
domestic crisis of initiation calls
equally for action; indeed, IN
flation is a cause of both the
foreign crisis and the domestic
one.
Congress and the President 70.
gether could check initiation VI
many steps possible, one would
be modification of the govern
ment policy and practlcs
of price support for farm prod
ucts, food. Another would be exc
tension of the government cons
troll over installment selling, due
to expire Nov. l.
