Stomach Was
Like A Gas Factory;
Meals Turned To Gas

One lady said recently that her
stomach used to be like a gas
factory!" That is, when she ate q
meal it seemed to turn right into
gas. She was always bloated, had
awful stomach gas pains, daily
headaches and constant irregular
bowel action. Now, however, this
lady says she is FREE of STOM-
ACH GAS and she says the change
is due to taking INNER AID. Her
meals agree with her. No gas or
bloat after eating. Headaches and
constipation r gone. "oh! What
relief" states this lady. why
don't other gas and constipation
suffers get INNER-AID.
INNER-AID contains u Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable peo-
pie soon feel different all over. So
don't go on suffering! Get INNER
AID. Sold by all drug stores.

SUPERINTENDENT
OFFERS TO QUIT

The word resignation" was
popular again yesterday around
the county courthouse.
This time it had to do with the
county home superintendent. And
the word was flashed when Com
missioner George Trask made it
known that he would have moth
ing more to do with the county
home so long as c. M. Carter was
superintendent.
Carter didn't like Trask's at
titude. He said so. And further
more he told the board that if
they didn't like his services just
"give me 80 days"
Commissioner Harry Gardner
said he thought there ought to be
an Investigation made of condi-
tons at the county home. He even
said that he thought the inmates
of the home ought to be interro-
gated about the present manage
ment.
The problem-if there is a prob
lem-was said to have resulted
from a reprimand of one of the
persons living at the home by
Carter when the inmate used pro-
fame language in the presence OF
a nurse and Mrs. Carter.
Trask said he didn't think there
was much of a human touch of
kindness at the home under Car
ter's management. Carter allowed
that he knew of no wrong act on
his part, and asked if the home
weren't in a better situation now
than it was when he took over.

LOSS OF BILLFOLD
TO POSTPONE VISIT
TO KANNAPOLIS HOME

A young Kannapolis girl--who
has been working in Wilmington
TOR the past year-saw her vaca.
ton dreams vanish yesterday.
For a year Miss Marie Bassinger,
302 S. Second ST., had been saving
a part Of her weekly salary which
she earned working in a local cafe,
to take a vacation at home.
Yesterday she withdrew her
yearly savings, $133, from the bank
and decided to do a bit of shopping
before leaving for home.
During her shopping tour of the
downtown stores she lost the bill
fold-plus a SIG money order.
Today, she had planned to 60
home. But after yesterdays events,
she now must look forward to an
other years work, unless some
kindly soul returns the lost purse.

OF powers capable of modifying
the troops to hold, much less push
back, the masses of the Red
Army on land. The power Of the
United States is on the sea and
in the air: this kind of power can
be exerted to check the Red
Army only if it can be brought
within striking distance Of the
vital centers of the Soviet Union.
The obvious and the unique
strategic approach, as all history
proves and the Russians r most
keen1y aware, is across the Black
Sea is in the eastern Mediterra-
mean through the Aegean Sea and
the Dardanelles, that is to say
between Greece and Turkey.
If and when there is a general
settlement with the Soviet Union,
this strategic gateway should be
neutralized 50 that the Russians
cannot come through it to expand
to the south, Or the Western
powers pass through it to domi-
nate the Black Sea. But until
there is a general settlement, it
is necessary to close the gateway
to the Russians and to keep it
open for ourselves. This strategic
advantage provides the only way
we have of opposing the immense
preponderance Of Russian power
Everywhere else, in Germany, in
eastern Europe, in the Balkans,
toward Iran. Afghanistan, India ,
and on the vast land frontier with
China.
In so far as we r able to ex-
ert American sea and air power
in the Black Sea, We have the
means of checking the advance OF
the Red Army westward into Eu-
rope. We / on its flank and IN
its rear, and we are able to main
tain a balance of power, without
which serious diplomatic negotla-
ton is impossible.
We cannot expect the Kremlin
to like this. But the Kremlin will
understand it. It will say, and it
may believe, that we intend to at
tack he Soviet Union once We are
established within reach of its
most vulnerable region. The an :
swer to that is for the Russians to
engage in serious negotiations for
a Middle Eastern and a European
settlement. The fact that we are
capable of attacking them, as
they are capable of attacking on
the European continent and in
Asia, will make the negotiation a
serious negotiation.
As yet there has been no serious
negotiation. These interminable
wrangles are not a negotiation,
and the reason they r not is
that the Red Army cannot be ar
gued out of the positions it holds,
nor the Soviet pressure every
where else checked by plugging
up all the holes in the line.
A balance of power has to be
reached in which the capacity OF
the Soviet Union to strike is bal
anced by our capacity to strike.

PLANS LAID FOR
SYMPHONY DRIVE
Tickets For April II Con.
cert Here To Go On
Sale Today

The drive to procure member
ship in the North Carolina Sym
phony Society here got underway
last night at a meeting of the
Community center attended by
David Ashburn, business repre-
sentative of the Society and a COM
mittee headed by Mrs. Lester
Preston, chairman of the local
symphony drive.
Last nights session was in pre-
paration for the April II concert
of the North Carolina Symphony
orchestra, which is to be held in
the New Hanover high school audi
torium. A children's concert is
scheduled to be held in the after
noon preceding the night program
-lated to get started at $50.
Under the plans of the society,
Ashburn said last night, SUBJ
scriptions starting at two dollars
and up and including any amount
the person wishes to subscribe will
be accepted for the remainder of
this week. The subscription en-
titles the holder to attend the Will
mington concert and any other
concert presented by the orchestra
anywhere in North Carolina, he
said.
Pri ate tickets will go on sale
at the door the night of the con-
cert, and Ashburn explained that
the price of these tickets will be
more than the two dollars for a
subscription.
Tickets go on sale today at
Yopp's Piano company and the
Jewel Box.
Ashburn, who will be in Will
mington until Friday to handle de-
tails of this weeks campaign,
pointed out that this is the first
state supported orchestra in the
nation, and that the state legisla-
ture has recently increased its
appropriation to the symphony.
Last year the orchestra performed
to over $1,000 school children,
with all children being admitted
free. From all indications of the
present concert tour in North Caro-
lima, he said, last years attend
ance figures will be surpassed.

Held In Death

Charges of murder have been
filed against Louvina Nelson and
George Porter, both Negroes, fol-
lowing the death of six-weeks old
George Nelson in Community hos
pital Sunday from what a physi-
clan termed malnutrition.
Drawn by local police after an
investigation into the infants death,
the warrants charge that Louvina
and Porter deliberately killed the
child by refusing and neglecting to
feed him.
The child was repeatedly taken
to Community hospital Sunday
morning for treatment by a sister
of Louvina, who told police later
that the mother Of the child was
drunk almost all Of the time and
consequently the infant did moi
get fed.
She also reported, police said,
that the two defendants had lived
together as man and wife for over
two years.
Both are in the New Hanover

issues instead Of having to debate
with Molotov about the details.
I am no suggesting that the
Administration should have put
tee matter in these bare terms.
But. diplomatic language can be
quite plain and explicit without
ceasing to be diplomatic. In this
instance it would have meant say
ing plainly that we shall intervene
in Greece OF Turkey by giving
them a special guaranty of their
security until there is a general
settlement. That is what we are
doing. It will not make the Rus
SLAMS any less angry to say so
clearly than it does to put it out
by innuendo and with large vague
generalizations which arouse pas
sion without crystallizing the def
mite issue.
Then, we should not have got
ourselves snarled up with sonsid-
erations that have nothing to do
with the basic decision. We should
not have had to make this look
like a relief operation. Plainly
it is not a relief operation. GER
tainly not in Turkey. We should
mot have had to embarrass our
selves with talk about ''democ-
racy," when obviously the present
Greek government is n of the
poorest exhibits we could have
selected, and Turkey, while it is a
self-respecting state, is certainly
not a democracy. We should not
have had to pretend that this was
not intervention when in fact we
are proposing to conduct the
Greek government.
The reason why the case was
presented in generalities as an
theological crusade, a d then in
detail as an operation Of relief
and rehabilitation is, so far as I
can make out, because the White
House and State Department
thought they could not sell it,
on its merits.
They believed the American
people are not adult enough to
support a strategic action de-
signed to make effective a diplo-
matte policy, and that the right
decision had therefore first to be
spiced up to attract their atten-
ion, and then watered down and
sugared over to meet their
doubts. l think the Administration
was wrong, and that it would be
having less trouble if it had not
thought it had to be smart.
The Administration may, as
Keynes once said of Lloyd George
after the last war, Judge rightly
that this is the best of which a
democracy is capable-to be jock
eyed, humbugged, cajoled along
the right road and that it must
be 'the method of modern states
men to talk as much folly as
they suppose-"the public de :
mand and to practice no more of
it than is compatible with what
they have said" But there are a
good many signs which indicate
that the American people have
learned more out of the exper :
fence of this war than the tacti-
clans in the White House and the
State Department have realized :.

Author FIees Russia,
Hides in u. ). Zone
BY the Associated Press

MUNICH, Oct. 18.-American
agents said today that Theodor
Plivier, German left-wing author
who lived for several years in Russia
where he was decorated for writing
the war book Stalingrad. has taken
refuge in American occupied Bavar-
ia and is hiding in fear of his life.
Germans who know Plivier said
he fled 10 Russia in 1888 when Hitler
came to power and broadcast Soviet
propaganda to Germany for several
years but had wanted to leave Mos
COW since 1886. He was described as
still sympathetic to Communist
theology but opposed to the way it
Was applied in Russia.
German informants said the au-
thor obtained permission to visit the
American zone recently and held
several meetings which apparently
we're intended to convince the Rus
slams he was carrying out a Com
munist propaganda mission. He did
nothing more, however, than read
chapters from his book Stalingrad,
which extolls the Soviet resistance
which turned the tide against the
Germans.
These informants said they be-
licved the author was "stalling"
until his relatives and secretary
were permitted to leave the Russian
zone. He then asked American
authorities to consider him in modi-
fled protective custody, and went
into hiding.
