Forest Fires
Damage High

WASHINGTON, D. C. - If
the trees destroyed by woods
fires in North Carolina during
the past two years could have
been converted to building ma
terials, they could have replaced
every house in Raleigh. This was
the startling estimate of Chief
Forester Charles A. Gillett, of
the American Products Indus
tries, Inc, as that organization
released it's third annual analy-
sis of forest protection in the
United States.
Based on U. S. Forest Service
figures for the Al timber pro-
ducing states, the survey shows
North Carolina as averaging
5000 forest fires and burning
316 thousand acres annually on
protected lands with additional
losses on areas for which no or
ganized protection has been pro-
vided. The report shows that the
average North Carolina woods
fire burns 100 acres.
Commenting on the report,
Gillett said that, while exact
losses in merchantable timber
are impossible to compute, reas-
enable estimates show that for
a five-year period, North Caro-
lima burned the wood required
to provide homes for a city more
than twice the size of Raleigh.

THAT

Believe it or not, the federal government finished the fiscal year which ended two weeks ago with surplus estimated at three fourths of billion dollars. That was the first time in sevenleei- years that the treasury ended ] year in the black. Considering the fact that federal revenues this last year amounted to the astronoI1:- cal figure of 42 and one-half bil- lion dollars, this three-fourths bill lion-dollar surplus is nothing to bring out. That the federal gov ernment in peacetime should be spending Al and three-fourths bil- lion dollars in twelve-month pe- riod is scandalous. During the most profligate spending of the new deal, federal expenditures did not exceed g billions. There is no

 Russia swallowed Latvia, Es- tonia and Lithuania and destroyed the sovereignty of those states. She imposed her political will upon Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary Austria and Yugoslavia. She went the limit in meddling in their internal affairs. But now Foreign Minister Molotov has turned down the British and French plan for European rehabil- itation on the ground it would "enable foreign powers to impose their will on other states and con- stitute interference with their sov- ereignty."

 tation would constitute interfer-' ence with their sovereignty" is something nobody but the Rus sians can figure out. The bitter fact must be that the Soviet gov ernment does not want any speedy rehabilitation of Europe. While hunger and distress are rampant, the Russians think the chances are better for the spread of Cominun- ism. Most of all, they are against this rehabilitation move because it would be financed largely by the United States and they don't want European peoples to find out how much better American capitalism works than Communist totalitari- anism does.
 Stubbornness on both sides ex- plains the wool bill veto. Propon- ents of the measure insisted upon including a provision which they knew the President would not ac- cept and which was wholly un- necessary. The President made a mountain out of molehill by in- terpreting this part of the bill as "a blow to our leadership in world affairs" and ga first step" on the road to economic isolationism. 1 The controversial provision would have given the President discretionary power to impose inn port fees or quotas on foreign
 wool. It did not require him to take such action. It merely permit ted him to do so. Even proponents
 of the bill did not expect he would
 take such steps. But because he has this power with respect to a
 score or more agricultural prof
 ects, they insisted upon it. All that
 was sought-price support for
 wool and authority for the Com
 modity Credit corporation to dis pose of wool it now holds and will acquire in the future-could have
 been had without the import fee
 and quota provision. Now Con-
 gress is in process of passing the
 bill without the disputed section
 and in a form President Truman
 will accept. It might better have
 done that in the first place. The. A. F. of L. Clothing Work
 CTS union paper, Advance, is pre- pairing to publish, as challenge
 to the constitutionality of the Taft
 Hartley bill, list of Senators "who performed a hatchet job on American workingmen and wo- men" by passing this measure over President Truman's veto. An Associated Press dispatch states that such list "comes under pro-
 visions of the labor bill prohibit ing union political activity and . banning printing of lists of Con-
 gressional voting records in union newspapers The bill doesn't do any such thing.
 The new labor law says "it is : unlawful for any national bank, ], or any corporation organized by

Special Dispoteh to The Star

STATESVILLE, N. c., Feb. 13.-
The climax of the StateSville COM
munity concert season came last
night with the return of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra under
direction of DIR. Hans Kinder. The
orchestra, which first played here
last year, again found an overflow
ing auditorium.
Under the baton of DR. Kinder,
who seems to inspire each player
to complete awareness of the i'm
portance of his instrument in rela-
ton to the entire effort, the orches-
ira gave highly artistic perform
ance, notable for the effect of bal
ance achieved. Cymbals and harp
were especially effective. ..
AS a conductor. DR.. Kinder left
little to be desired. His readings
were mastery and dynamic, though
entirely free of exaggerated man
nerisms.
The concert began with SPAR
king display of Mozart's overture to
"The Marriage of Figaro" The
climax of the program came with an
admirable performance of the
Symphony in D Minor" Follow
ing intermission there were two
etudes of the Russian composer,
Scriabin, arranged for orchestra by
La Sale Spier, and finally Rimsky-
Korsakow's Spanish Caprice" re-
markable for brilliance and color.
The orchestra played yesterday to
an audience of 1,500 school children
in the second students concert in
the local concert associations series.
This concert was sponsored by the
Statesville Kiwanis Club under
leadership of T. r. Redlack. Howard
Mitchell, first 'cellist, directed, open
ing the concert with the overture
from Bizet's Carmen" His ex-
planatory comments and his intro
duction of the various instruments
were interesting and entertaining.
The youthful audience took great
delight in the entire proceedings,
especially the waltz of the Flowers
from Tschaikowsky's "Nutcracker
Suite"
