Producers Grow TimOrOus

The big chiefs of moviedom plainly had
the daylights scared out of them by the
House Un-American Activities Committee
hearings on Hollywood communism. So it
is easy to believe the report that, for
some time to come Hollywoods output is
going to be more bland and harmless than
ever.
A tip-off on the big chiefs attitude was
their announcement that the 10 writers and
directors, cited by the House for contempt,
would be discharged or suspended. They
also said that communists would be re-
fused employment henceforth. At the same
time, they declared that the movie indus
try had never made any pictures that were
"subversive or un-American.
But word now comes that the big studios,
besides screening the politics of prospec-
tive employees, are going to dodge any SUBJ
jects that have "social significance" One
Hollywood reporter writes that the decision
has even hit four scripts that had con-
gressmen in the cast of characters. Three,
which treated their congressional charac-
ters critically or lightly, have been
shelved In the fourth the lawmaker was
cndnRGu llltO dill dIllOe1ooeAoA'
Like it or not, that attitude isn't hard
to understand. The movie-makers already
are fenced in by many restrictions-some
of which were badly needed when they
were introduced. These restrictions are I'M
posed by the industry itself and by out
siders. They have to do with language,
dress, situations, and what not. That's
plenty to worry about. Now Hollywood's S
output may also be screened for "subver-
sion" by congressional committee whose
collective views are shall we say, little
right of center.
The movie makers know they have one
sure defense for such threat. They can
stick to boy-gets girl.
That is a pity, for the movies have a
great potential power to help their audi
ences become better citizens of this coun-
try and the world. That power isn't often
used, which makes us believe that a great
er threat to Hollywood than communism
is the negative belief that any picture is
OK as long as it makes money and doesn't
offend anybody.
| Occasionally, some producer departs
from that formula Then we get such films
as Fury "The Grapes of Wrath, y
"Crossfire," 'Gentleman's Agreement"
and some of the pre-war Frank Capra pic
lures. There haven't been many. But there
have been enough to show that real prob
lens of a real society can be entertaining
dramatic material.
Now the chances are slim of anyones
making such films very soon. The threat
of political censorship was worked about
as well as the real thing. Hollywood will
watch its step. It's easy to blame Holly
wood for lack of courage, but when cour-
age threatens livelihood, touch of pru-
dence is pardonable.

Chance For Collaboration

Attorney General Clark's listing of 78 Or
CARNATIONS, ranging from the Ku Klux
Klan on the right to the Communists way
over on the extreme left, as "subversive"
groups has been challenged by Chairman
]. Parnell Thomas, of the House Commit
tee on Un-American activities.

better than this" Rep. Thomas declared,
the committee on Un-American Activities

The widespread in citation to
casual rowdyism, riot and scat
tered bloodshed which has con-
stituted t h e first reply of the
Arab world to the United Ma
tions decision on Palestine is on
the one hand unworthy of COM
munity of responsible states and
on the other hand lamentably
unimpressive as an i n strument
of power policy. Comparatively
small crowds of unruly students
and overheated tow nsmen,
egged on to sporadic arson and
a few murders by the bombastic
utterances of some Arab poten-
tates and politicians will scarce
ly suffice to overturn some thir-
ty years of history and the best
determination o f its tangled IS
sues VIII ch the international
community could achieve.
Admittedly, the Arab world
has reason for resenting de-
cision which is inevitably a blew
to its pride and sense of patriot
ism. But no less admittedly,

British, Americans and others

On The Run

The communists in France who, because
they could not take over the government
in legal manner (by the ballot) tried to
do so via the strike and lost. They are
on the run. Hundreds of the supporters of
government by force have been rounded
up.
Now that they are on the run, let's keep
them that way Let the whole world join
with Premier Schuman and those other
brave and determined free Frenchmen and
run the Reds out and keep them out
Hereafter when a man calls one facist,
we can suspect it's Red that makes the
charge. Anyone who doesn't agree with a
Red is facist anyway so there is no use
in arguing.
The communists are world disrupters
They are bent on total destruction. These
ungodly people should be rum not into the
nearest rat hole. only to come forth with
bigger brood at some future time but
into the ground, once and for all.

The Freedom Train

| Wilmington and New Hanover county
and the many thousands of fine American
men, women and children in southeastern
North Carolina today are afforded equal
opportunity to pay homage to their COM
mon heritage The United States of Amer
ica, and to those great men in our history
who made this heritage possible.
| The opportunity is not afforded by The
Freedom Train itself, but by the priceless
documentary evidence Of our stride from
oppression, through inner strife to full
grown nation to which the world at large
now looks for its very essentials.
Wilmington and those in its surrounding
territory accept this privilege to bow in
solemn recognition, doubly so because,
now, more than in times past, does our
way of life stand out as the only way
through which mankind can hope for the
better things for himself and his children
and their children.
The Christian, no matter to what sect
his faith is pledged; the Jew, the non
believer, as equals have a share in the
heritage handed down to them. Each, in his
own way may live his life and each, only
by Joining with the others, can contribute
to the welfare of all and to the security of
the Individual and his personal rights.
The Freedom Train, and its documents,
therefore, are as an altar Of Democracy,
an altar upon which men and women of
all faiths, creeds, races and position with
a common belief and trust in themselves,
their fellow man and their God, can re-
dedicate themselves anew.
Rededicate themselves to the thought
that our great nation is nation OF, by
and for the people and that it shall forever
stand against those who would destroy it
and in doing so, destroy us.

In Advanced" Stage

Mr.. Mariner S. Eccles, chairman OF the
Federal Reserve Board, has acknowleogea
that initiation has reached an "adVanced
stage in this country.
The announcement can hardly be
classed as starting news. EVeroooy
knows about the tremendous advance IN
prices during recent months. But this is,
we believe, the first specific Official rec
oenition of the sad state of affairs winch
has so greatlyreduced the purchasing power
of the American dollar. President truman
has talked about initiation as something
still to be prevented. Senators and repre-
sentatives discuss it, but chiefly as II 1t
were a bludgeon to apply to the admins
trations back.
Now comes the mighty Federal Reserve
Boards chief with the frank confession
that it is in the advanced stage Whether
this recognition can become the first step
toward cure remains to be seen.
Certainly the remedy does not lie in Rep
resentative Wolcotts recommendation for
voluntary" curbs. Something more dras-
tic is needed, particularly in view of the
purpose of some labor leaders to demand
uary.
What has happened in the price range
is well put by the Wall Street Journal.
Eight hundred dollars will not longer buy
a new car" the Journal points out. "Seven
cents won't buy a loaf of bread and IS
cents won't get even a half dozen eggs.
The $3.50 all-one-price shoes cost $5 and
it takes two bills to get a dollar necktie.
General retail commodity prices follow this
line closely.
One thing is certain. If the purchasing
power of the dollar depreciates
much more, as would happen if wages in
general are raised and worker production
continues to decrease so that supply is
even less able to meet demand, there will
be little hope OF avoiding the financial
crash that Russia is watching for as the
best means of overthrowing United States
influence in world affairs

whenever he proves this or that one is

ROONDOGLGING

The other day while reading
the newspaper reports of a
speech by Mr.. Bullitt l found
myself wondering what Joseph
Stain would make of it. 1t was
from Stalin's point of view a
most extraordinary flattering
picture that Mr.. Bullitt painted.
There is a man, said Mr.. Bullitt,
who will "eventually" mobilize
'all the resources of Europe and
Asia against u.s." He viii cor
ganize" $50 million Chinese. He
will organize $50 million Mos.
lens and Hindus of India. He
will organize all the Arabs. He
will organize all the French,
Italians, Germans, Poles, Scan
danavians. He will organize them
into Overwhelming messes Of
men and machines"
Stain is, in short, at once Cae-
sar, Napoleon, Hitler, Genghis
Khan, the Great Mogul, and the
biggest Manchu of them all. Il
Mr.. Bullitt's estimate Of Stains
ability is even approximately
correct. then we are dealing no

would lack the resources and the
energy to be successful any
where. That is not foreign policy
but diplomatic boondoggling, of
which, considering the results in
Korea and in Greece, we have
had quite enough.
The difference between Mr..
Marshall's foreign policy and
what preceded it is that Mr..
Marshall has been acting on the
strategic principle that nation
must concentrate its effort at
the point where the greatest re-
suits can be obtained. In his
China policy and in his Euro
pean policy MIR. Marshall has
been seeking to correct the er-
ror, which we had fallen into,
of dispensing our effort on Sec
ondary objectives while we neg
lected our primary objectives.
Mr.. Marshall has had,
of course, to carry on as best he
could the commitments which he
inherited. But the policy which,
quite justly, bears his name-the
Marshall plan calls for a con-
centration of American effort at
that point on the face of the
earth where our civilization is
most deeply threatened, and
where on the other hand, there
are the greatest opportunities
for the recovery and the revival
of our civilization. That point IS
not China. 1t is not the Middle
East. It is not the Balkan penin-
sula. 1t is in the British COM
monwealth, in France, in Scan
dinavia, in the Benelu& coun-
tries, and in Italy.
It is there that the struggle
will be won or lost, in the adj
vanced countries not in the back
ward ones. 1t will take our ut
most effort to succeed. But II
we entangle ourselves in many
other places, we shall not have
the resources that are necessary
if we are to succeed. We shall
hav. made the catastrophe mis-
take of trying to do so many
things that we do none of them
successfully.

WASHINGTON - Pre- ident
Truman's 1O-point anti initiation
program is begged down in a
confusion of II different bills,
for which Congress h a S prac-
tically no enthusiasm whatever.
Not even the cabinet officers,
left in charge during the Presi-
dents recent Florida rest, show
much enthusiasm for some parts
of the program. Some of this
lukewarm support may be due
to the reluctance of Democratic
executives to try to tell a Re-
publican dominated Congress
what kind of laws it should
write. But in other particulars,
cabinet officials in the executive
departments give the impression
that the Presidents pro posals
won't all work.
Department of Agriculture Of
ficials say that the rationing OF
meat-number one critical food
item in short supply next year
simply mot be made to
work in the United States in
peacetime.
Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach says it is necessary to
have wage controls if price con-
trolls are to mean anything.
Secretary of Commerce Av-
erell Hartman is supposed to
be in charge of presenting the
Presidents program to Con-
gress. There is supposed to be
the usual clearance by Bureau
of the Budget. But nobody is
really bossing the job.
To keep every department
from stepping on the toes of
every other department that
has a particular interest in par
ticular commodities, the work
of drafting the bills necessary
to show Congress what powers
the President wants to carry out
his anti-inflation program h a S
been split up like this:
The Federal Reserve Board is
drafting two bills - one is to
bring back Regulation w."
which controlled installment
buying in wartime, and the 9TH
er is to limit bank loans.
The Department of Agricul-
ture is drafting four bills-one
is intended to regulate specula-
tive trading on commodity ex-
changes, while a second would
encourage conservation prac-
tices in the United States. A
third would authorize the Com
modify Credit Corporation to
operate in foreign countries, so

The purpose of this kind of hy-
