CUTTER MENDOZA
ARRIVES IN PORT

1t is impossible to say how Ions
1t will be before the ship returns
here permanently, according tc
1t. Williams, as it depends upon
how long the icebergS are a men,
ace to shipping. The average time
is four months, he said.
The Mendoza measures 255 feet
in length, Is feet longer than the
decommissioned USCG cutter Mo
doc which it replaces. Over half
the 101 men and ten officers which
make up the crew of the Mendoza
were also on the Modoc, and many
of them make their home in the
Port City.
The Coast Guard cutter has been
on weather duty in the Atlantic for
almost a year and the men on the
ship say they expect to see more
excitement during the ice patrol
tour in the North Atlantic.
No distress calls were received
by the MENDOZA on its voyage to
Wilmington from Baltimore, but
Just after leaving Boston for Bal
timcre the cutter spent a day and
a half aiding the Panamaman S. S.
Rotor which had run aground on
Nantucket Island.

Different Views
Inc worst postwar disaster in the
German capital was attributed by
Capt. Frank Walten, British fire
officer for Berlin, to overheated
stoves. Ernest Wahnee, a German
survivor familiar with the build
ing, said a short circuit in the wir-
ing might have been the cause.

no doubt be Communist, others

ed by parties of the Right. But
this diversity will be Infinitely
better than unity, which a be
only at bottom nationalist, leaning
either upon Soviet Russia or upon
Britain and America.
For, by keeping German polltl-
cal authority divided into the com
partments of the separate states,
the Germans can learn slowly and
under manageable conditions to
govern themselves. And the Allies
will not be confronted with the
problem they cannot hope under
present conditions to solve by
agreement: whether all of Ger
many shall be oriented to the East
or whether all of it shall be orr
ented to the West.
To make of Germany a loose
confederation is, therefore, not
only the most likely way to let the
Germans learn self-government.
1t is the only way to compromise
the differences, without sacrificing
any principle, which divides the
Soviet Union and the Western ma
tjOnS.

cent of the total land in Columbus
county is used for agricultural
purposes. The remaining land is in
dense forest and cut over wood
lands.
The agriculture of Columbus af-
fords year round income from its
huge tobacco industries, forests,
livestock, and truck produce, with
the possibilities, according to au.
thorities, of livestock an dtruck
revenue unlimited and scarcely
touched. The oldest truck crop pro-
duced in the county is the straw
berry which began to be cultivated
in 1895 However, the sweet po-
tato now leads in truck crops.
Columbus county markets more
bushels of properly graded and
labeled sweet potatoes than any
shipping port in the world with
the exception of Sunset, Louisiana.

Though turpentine was once the

against Fire Chief Clement Murphy
at a hearing at the Capitol last
