without attempting to stop league, they
shared in his crime.
Solicitor Ernest r. Tyler has but per
formed his duty by swearing out war
rants charging the three with assault
with a deadly weapon.
The trio's immediate resignation
from the highway patrol merely fore
stalled their dismissal. Because OF
their position and violation Of their
trust they should be punished to the
full extent of the law.
North Carolina has had too many
black eyes as a result of the miscar-

Crime Against Humanity

In the final analysis the thrashing
of a recaptured convict by state high
way patrolmen is a crime against hu-
mainly, which played such an important
part in the Nuremberg trials.
The fact that the convict cursed his
captors does not excuse them. They
were peace officers, commissioned to
uphold the law. They had no authority
to administer corporal punishment.
The case is that of Claude Gregory
who escaped from the Halifax county
prison farm. He claims he was hand
cuffed to a tree and beaten with san
lings and a cartridge belt. Three patrol.
men were involved, and although one.

handcuffed and not seriously hurt. But

Leviathan Of The Air

The Curtiss-W Wright Corp. is display
ing a cargo airplane twice the size of
a freight car at Columbus, Ohio.
The claim is made that the plane can
TRANSPORT sixteen tons of freight from
coast to coast at three hundred miles
per hour, an at a cost of four cents
per ton mile. The craft is eighty-nine
feet long, thirty-two feet wide and its
four engines have 8,400 horsepower.
Known as the CW-32, the manufac-
turers declare the plane one of the
first developed from scratch since the
war. Designed to meet both military
and commercial requirements, engineers
say it will carry all but the largest
pieces Of mobile fighting equipment.
Entertaining the hope that the world
will escape another conflict, and that
this, or another similar plane, proves
a~irworthy, why wouldn't it be a good
plan for the County Commission to get
to work with the object of attracting
such a leviathan of the skyways to
Bluethenthal airport on a regular
schedule.
1t may sound like a pipe dream, but
We may be sure that whatever develop
ment air transportation achieves will
be utilized by other cities and there
Is no sound reason why Bluethenthal
should not do so too, if the proper au-
thorities get on the job.

Many Want Bilbo Seat

Aspirants for the Senate seat Sena-
tor Bllbo was elected to occupy but was
denied kept their silence until the Bill
DO o%bsequies were completed, with the
exception of Rep. John E. Rankin. Mr..
Rankin on the day before the funeral
announced that he would be a candi-
date.
That there will be a scramble at next
November's election by many Mississippi
plans is indicated. Some of those who
claim to know forecast the most wide
open and spirited campaign since the
colorful days of J. <. Vardaman-the
gentleman who drove to the hustings
IN an OK cart, arrayed in white raiment.
Governor Fielding Wright is said to
be considering becoming a candidate,
although his four-year term only start
ed last January. The veteran Supreme
Court clerk, MI. Tom @. Ellis, who ran
second to Bilbo in last years primary
run-off, is considered a sure candidate.
Another is Mr.. Forrest Jackson, an at
torney who supported Bilbo during
Senate committee hearings. Still an
other is Mr.. Paul Johnson, son of a
former Mississippi governor, who was
Governor Wright's runnerup in the
last gubernatorial primary election.
Mr.. Walter Sellers, speaker of the
state legislature is a likely candidate,
as are Mr.. Dennis Murphree, former
lieutenant governor: Mr.. Ross Barnett,
a prominent Jackson attorney, and MIR.
j. Oliver Emerich, member of the state
Board of Higher Education.
Inasmuch as Mississippi law pro-
vides that when a senatorial vacancy
happens in the year of a general cleo
ton no special election will be called,
Governor Wright has indicated that the
vacancy will be filled on November 4,
the date Of the next general election,
and that he does not contemplate ap-
pointing any one to the position in the
interim.
Between now and November 4, can-
didates are expected to be busy get

when the Treasury talks began.
But Secretary Snyder, who was on
the whole willing to terminate
convertibility without resort to
freezing, seems to have been
made wiser than the State depart
ment by the sudden shock of Sir
Wilfrid Eady's news.
For a final verdict, il is neces
sary to await the outcome of the
resumed Anglo : American talks.
These will begin again when Sny-
der goes to London next month.
Meanwhile, three crucial facts are
already causing the American
policy-makers to toss and turn in
their troubled bed.
First, something must still be
done about the German problem.
Some months ago, by one of those
empty triumphs of haggling which
delight our negotiators. we got the
British to pay half the dollar bill
for the merged Anglo : American
zones. Il did not matter that the
money was ours, coming f;om our
loan, Or tina: the British plainly
could not afford it. Now thai the
chickens have come home to
roost, however this triumph must
be foregone. Any British Cabinet
in its senses, having to choose be-
tw cen feeding Germans and feed
Jag their own People, will put their
ow1i people first. That is the pres
ent situation. 1t IS still entirely
possible that the Cabinet harried
and rendered %neurctic by their
will suddenly decide to
abandon Germany entirely. But if
We move quickly and generously

induced to continue their occupa-
ton. We will pay the bill in dol

Good Will Tour

How many Wilmingtonians know
what Wilmington industrial plants are
doing? How many Of us know anything
at all about the city's industrial pro-
duction-what the plants are making,
how many workers they employ, how
the workers are engaged, the quality
of their workmanship or plant output?
Mighty few.
The serious part of this is that
whereas we all say Wilmington must
increase it's industrial asset in order
to take its proper place among the
leading southeastern cities we are for
the most part Indifferent to the in
dustries we have. Probably not n in
a thousand of us has ever crossed the
threshold of a single manufacturing
plant in the entire Wilmington area.
How can we do our part in bringing
other plants to the area unless we know
what is being accomplished by the
plants we have?
Mostly the fault is our own. We
lack normal inquisitiveness. But per-
haps part of the blame rests with the
manufacturers themselves. The thought
is that if industrial leaders held open
house now and then and conducted WISH
tors through their plants, explaining
the processes of converting raw ma
terials into finished products and an
swering questions they would not only
serve their own interests but the in
terests of the city as well.
1t used to be customary for business
organizations, whether chambers of
commerce or whatnot, to engage in
good will tours to cities within specific
trading areas. Abandoned during the
war and still not generally revived,
the tours were fruitful. They cemented
business relations between cities to
their mutual advantage. Why would
it not be equally beneficial to conduct
hometown good will tours? Why
wouldn't Wilmington's industrialists
and people gain something worth while
by the intimate contact resulting from
an actual visit?
Here is something the Chamber of
Commerce could we'll sponsor as a pri-
mary project, or, because it is dedicated
to constructive effort on behalf of the
city, the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
