They also expressed the opinion that these persons would be more than willing to pay their own way to Anchorage if assured of em- ployment at that end of the line.
 Hedges said that the biggest drawback in the RR employment plans is the fact that there is no overnight housing at Anchorage available for newcomers and that the men might have to sleep in the streets.

 NEW POST AT H00NAH

Mrs. George Washington enter tained the American Legion Aux Hilary at their meeting Tuesday night with 8 most interesting talk on life in the Central American country of Colombia, based on her own experiences during the time she was there with the United Fruit Company.
 She told how a strike" of native employees of the company was brought on by agitation against "tkoSe rich North Americans" and how it led to a minor revolution, which finally resulted in the strikers" disappearing back into the jungles, and the entire staff of North Americans" being trans ferred to other company stations This was to prevent tEcir being ambushed later by any of the strikers, who could be expected tc slip back into the neighborhood of the company stations. put would not bother strangers who replaced the men who were transferred.
 Mrs. Washington's biggest prob lem was accumtoming herself tc meeting a-constrictors in uneX- pected places, such as in parlol and around the farms where they were household pets. In addition to being pets they served the useful purpose of ridding the farms oi rats, against which the ordinary cat had no chance at all.
 Following Mrs. Washington's talk Mrs. Ray Peterman read a des- Cription of the Pan-American tuilding in Washington, D. C.. which she visited on recent trip
 The enjoyable evening closed with the serving of delicious refresh ments by Mrs. Peterman, assisted by Mrs. Walter Hellan and Mrs Hugh Antrim.

FREE TRANSPORTATION FOR RR WORKERS HAS
 NOW BEEN CALLED OFF

Plans to provide ire. cranspor- tation for new Alaska Railroad en- ployees from other Alaskan points to Anchorage have been temporar- fly abandoned according to Arthur A. Hedges, Director of the Alaska Territorial Employment Service.
 Tentative plans, said Hedges, had called for the payment of transpor- tation expenses for men willing to sign a six months contract with the Railroad. The schedule would have called originally Tor the pay ment of passage from Alaskan points but would have been ex- tended. at a later date, to include workers from Seattle.
 Hedges said that the plan had been under consideration as part of a labor recruiting plan for the AL aska RR which needs more workers of all kinds from specialists to

The Right Attitude

The attitude of u. S. Senator Ed. John
son, (D-Colo.) toward the special session
of the Congress is one that should, for
the welfare of the country, be adopted
by ever national laWmaker.
In announcing that he would not attend
an international aviation conference in
Geneva but would return to capitol hill
on Nov II, he said:
II regard this special session as the
most Hateful in history and I want to be
on the job"
Whether it will be "the most fateful"
depends entirely on the treatment the Sen
ators and Representatives give the gigan-
tic problems of providing stop-gap relief
for Europe and curling domestic initiation.
II the congressman are realistic in their
dealings with these great tasks and act
accordingly with determined strength,
then the session will certainly be worth
its while. But if they convert it into a pre-
l948 political campaign battlefield, then
Senator johnson may just as well have
taken his Geneva trip and the other law
makers remained out of Washington.

Widens Range of Service

The p~racticability of the Junior college
IN meeting a locality's special training
needs was one of the advantages stressed
by advocates of establishment of one here,
Since the opening of Wilmington college.
this contention has been proved in several
instances.
The latest example is an announcement
from Dean Dale K. Spencer of the begin
ming OF a new course in railroad traffic
administration. 1t will carry an elective
credit of eight semester hours and will
be started Tuesday night.
Because Wilmington is the home of the
general headquarters of one of the ma
tons greatest railroads, it is good to see
that the c~ommunity's new college is &C.
cepting this opportunity to help prepare
young men and women for railroad ca
reers. The course will deal with organiza-
ton freight classification and rate maxi
ing, railroad freight rate structures and
a study of the Interstate Commerce act.
Thus the college will better serve Will
mlngton's greatest business organization.

Welcome ~SmackdOWn

If the Taft-Hartley act never accomplishes
another thing, it can rest on its ~laurels, con-
fident that it has led to the rap heard round
the picket lines, and proud Of its achieve
ment.
John L.. Lewis had been the only one of
10 AFL vice presidents to refuse to sign a
non-Communist affidavit, then required of
all union officials before the union could use
the National Labor Relations board faclli-
ties. So the AFL passed a resolution, over
his loud and typically vituperous protests,
that abolished his title, permitting all AL
groups to participate in NLRB benefits. So
credit the Acknowledged Taft-Hartley law
with an asset on a putout many OF us have
been hoping to see.

Matter Of Fact

if-Congress will grant him the
necessary authority to do it.
In this connection, it is worth
considering the views of two
ghosts from the price-control
past. Mr.. Paul Porter and Mr..
Chester Bowles could now, if
they wished, indulge in the hol-
low pleasures of crying 81 told

these predictions were INSULT
GENTLY dire. At any rate, both
Mr.. Porter and Mr.. Bowles are
convinced that the job of get
ting prices under control again
can be done, and that it must
be done, if catastrophe is to be
avoided. Since both men know
something of the horrible head

Our 1912 Naval Station

Observance of annual Navy day here
has brought forth an interesting but little
known fact showing that W~ilmington's in
terest in the United States Navy goes back
to the youthful days of the republic.
= According to Captain W. c. Manson, this
city was the site of a Naval station in
1872. And his grandfather, Sailing Master
John C Manson, was it's c~ommandant. His
commission, a photostatic copy of which
is one of Captains Manson's priced pos
essions bore the signatures of President
James Madison and Secretary Of Navy
Paul Hamilton. incidentally, the title of
Sailing Master was, we are told, COM
parable to a captains rank in today's
Navy.
Shortly after the station was closed, Sail
ing Master Manson resigned from the serv-
ice to enter the Merchant marine because
the pay was much better.
Just how long the station functioned and
what part it had in the war of 1872 would
be an interesting matter of research for
local historians. There were establish
ments here during the War Between the
States but since then Wilmington and vi
cinity have not been favored with naval
facilities, except minor ones in wartime.
Nevertheless, its interest in the Navy, as
evidenced by the great number of officers
and men it has given in each national
emergency, is perhaps greater than that
IF any other North Carolina city.

Sen. Taft AS Candidate
An Editorial From The New York Herald TRIBUNE

Senator Robert A. Taft, in
formally announcing his candida
cy for the Republican nomina-
ton for President eight months
before the national convention,
lives up to his reputation for
candor and forthrightness in pub
lie affairs. AS was the case when
he took the craftsmanship of the
Senate Labor Committee last
winter, he lays his cards on the
table and does not hesitate to ex-
pose himself to criticism and at
tack, or to trade punches with
his adversaries.
Senator Taft's candidacy, now
removed from the tentative and
coy half world of political specu-
lation, will be received with salts
faction by those who admire his
courage and frankness, who ap-
p%reciate his intelligent, thought
full approach to the country's do
nestle problems, particularly in
the field of public housing. In
this group must be included that
substantial body of Americans
which approved his leadership
