This was the third interim re-
port by the board. 1t was concern
ed largely with the type of &C
cident involving collision with land,
usually at night or under conditions
of low visibility.
Lands said the recommendation
for doubling the altitude require.
ment during the hours of darkness
should be gradually superseded
by specific minimum attitudes for
specific routes.
This procedure, he said, would
obviate the hardships Of a general
regulation.
The board conceded that the
cause of some crashes could not be
wholly eliminated. But Lands told
the President that, under the
boards two recommendations, the
chances of crashes would be re-
duced materially.

The real estate combine" as j
was termed yesterday, propose!
to dredge material tor the purpose
Of making a fill in an area Of ap
proximately % acres lying west
ward of the causeway leading t.
the disposal plant.
The proposed area to be dredg'
ed varies in width from 200 Il
400 feet and lies adjacent to the
area proposed 20 BE- filled. Wher
completed, the plan now is to di
vide the area into lots fo- sale
The applicants contend that ths
dredging will clean and deeper
the northern part of Banks chan
mel and thereby increase the low
Of water.
The plan calls for the work te
be done Under contract and foi
the dredge to cut its passage
through Bowden's cut and that,
too, they claim, will increase the
flow of water.
They also contend that when the
project is completed, the shoaling
will cease and navigability in the
area will be improved.
Application Modified
The original application was
modified yesterday afternoon tc
omit the small portion in the
northwest area so that mo par
OF the area to be dredged or filled
will in any way encroach upon
Harbor Island or Shore Acres"
The amendment was read by Alan
Marshall, attorney for the realty
applicants.
The principal protests againt
the work was based on the belief
that making the fill would ad-
.versely affect the flow of water
in Banks channel, cause increas-
ed shoaling, and stop pleasure

Walter Cartier, Harbor Island
resident, contended that the PRO
ject r~einforces an i'll which the
causeway started" He and other
objectors, including AZ residents of
W'rightsville and Harbor Island
who signed a written objection,
contend that the flow Of water in
the channel was stopped when the
causeway was constructed in 1914.
The causeway was constructed by
the town of Wrightsville Beach
without the permission Of the engi-
neers.
Col. B. c. Snow, Wilmington
District Engineer, said that in his
opinion there were ''quite a few
structures" which aid in "decreas-
ing the navigabiiity of Banks
channel' and asked Cartier if he
thought that "oae more obstruc-
ton would adversely affect navi-
CATION when there is no flow there
now" Cartier replied in the mega
tive.
Lawrence Lee and R. M. Ker-
mon, both residents OF Harbor Is
land, in strongly expressing their
objections, said Nlat the project
would lessen the chances Of get
ting the causeway removed or
modified to allow the water to
flow freely. Kermon said that he
understood that faction is COM
templated being brought against
the town Of Wrightsville to force
them to open the causeway".
Snow told the 50-odd persons pre-
sent that the engineers are now
making a survey to determine if
the causeWay is obstructing tn e
flow Of water. The engineers
made no objection when the
causeway a being constructed
as they saw no harm to naviga-

More Time Asked
Owen H. keenan,, property own
e., submitted a written statement
Directing to the project and also
asked for a few more days time
in order to present further ma
terial pertinent to the case. Snow
granted the time, and said that
the report of the local engineers
will be sent to the Division head
quarters sometime next week.
Other DIRECTORS included John
Baer Of Charlotte T. D. Skies, and
W. w. Storm, all Of whom own
property near the area.
M. H. Lander, civil engineer,
stated that he mad made frequent
surveys of the area and that the
project twill not further affect
navigation in Banks" or other
nearby channels.
He commended that the proposed
project would imprcbve the general
area, and that the proposed
dredging would increase The wat
erflow.
Two petitions, one bearing 10
names and the other bearing Is
names Of boat owners, residents,
or property owners at Wrightsville
and Harbor Island stated that
these persons did not believe the
project would harm navigation or
cause shoaling.
R. L. Benson, Wr~ightsville town
clerk, expressed the opinion that
the causeway does not cbstruct
navigation capacity of Banks
channel as the only time the flow
of water is stopped by the cause
way is during the extremely high
tides which come with the full
moon. He said that he did not be-
lieve the project would have
much affect" on the aow Of wat
er.
B. H. Bridgers who has resided
at Wrightsville Reach since 1895,
spoke lengthily on the develop
ments Of the waterways, channels,
and inlets Of the area since that
time. The major part OF the fill
ing in is caused by the winds
blowing sand from the beaches,
he said. He said that the channel
had continuously been filling up
and would continue to do so, and
added that nothing would prevent
the shoaling and filling and the
only way the depth could be main
tain is by dredging, just as the
engineers maintain the depth o.
the Cape Fear by dredging.

A Puppt Speaks
(Cincinnsti Enquirer

Premier Shigeru Yoshids of Japan has declared m the plainest terms his belle. tat American military forces should remain in JapS,1 Mde1lnltely, loHg after any treaty of peace is signer He wants Aer- can supervision, not LIN supervision And he does not hide his fear that Japan would have uoab Wltn the Soviet Unon once the American occupatiC~ v'9F terminated.
 All this may, or may not, be true. But in any event we need to recognize that this advice comes from puppet Premier It natural for us in America to think of Yoshida as minded democratically inclined individual chosen freely by the Japanese people through their Legislature But for most of the world Yoshida is simply tool of General Macarthur and of the United States. His position is that of a Quisling and is comparable to that of the puppet rulers who presided over Manchura the Philippines and North China under Japanese occupation.
 Undoubtedly, tie Japanese agree with Yoshida, today in preferrng American supervision to that e the LIN They have only to look at Germany to see the tragic results of divided authori LIN supervision over Japan would entail debates deadocks before each directive was issued to the Tokyo Government.
 Yet the fact remains that military occupation has served it's purpose in Japan The surveillance required from onward is precisely the sort of responsibility the LIN is fitted carry The longer we remain in exclusive control of Japan, the more we feed the suspicious of the world that an American imperialism is in the making.
 Whatever we do in respect to Japan, we cannot attach every much weight to the plea of our own puppet for continued American occupation And once we recognize that the United States has it's puppets abroad just as Germany and Japan have had, we can more quickly sense the dangers of a prolonged occupation of Japan exclusively American in character

Enlightened Labor Policy
(New York Times

Labor unions have come in for so much criticism in recent months that it is genuine source of pleasure when the opportunity arises to say something o1 a commendatory nature.
 Such an opportunity is presented in the case of the Minnesota Federation of Labor (AFL). During the first ten months of 1946 year that produced record crop of labor disputes the l25,000 members ot tnS group lost only about one-fourth Of per cent or working time result of strikes. Moreover tile record was accident It an accurate re1lectoh of the enlightened point of view of this organzatoh'
 Members of the Minnesota Federation of Laoor have the good sense to realize that policy of unlon responsibility is asset and that It pays oVloehus by attracting good firms to the state. Thus, while many other unions raising funds to carry OH campaigns for wages in excess Of the Government ceilings then prevailing, the Minnesota Feoefatloh of Labor was soliciting nickels and dimes from US members so that it could raise enough money to acquant business men all over the country wlth JUS successful record in the matter of industry disputes Manufacturers invited to write the Federatioh and to seek it's help in finding desirable location in the state and in establishing mutually profitable labor relations.
 If the unions of the nation as whole lh recent veaf bed based their policies the philosophy of the Minnesues Federation of Labor, remedial lapor leg islation would not today be the Number one Item on the Congresxionp' p-ogram It might not even be on that program
