I~rreconcilable Impasse

Without full knowledge of condi-
lions that have made the New Han
over County Home an object of crit
icism for years, it is still possible to be-
lieve that the Board of County Com
missioners yesterday created an irrec-
oncilable impasse when it refused to
accept the resignation of Commission
or Trask as chairman of the boards
home committee and retained C. M.
Carter as the homes superintendent
This becomes apparent when it is
noted that Commissioner Trask re.
Gently is said to have declared he
would have nothing more to do with
the home while "the Carters' have
anything to do with it. (Mrs. Garter
10 matron at the home.)
In these circumstances, and with.
sxt a complete reversal of position by
both Mr.. Trask and MI. Garter, it il
impossible to believe that any materia

Unfulfilled Pledge

The most striking aspect Of the
spreading strike among telephone
workers is that had the republican ma
jority in the present Congress made
good it's pledge to revise existing OR in
itiate new labor control legislation the
strike could have been avoided:
1t will be remembered that during
the campaign last autumn and immedi-
ately following the election, when the
republicans swept the country, word
was spread that once Congress was
called into session the lop-sided Wagner
Act would be revamped to give all ele-
ments of the business world a square
deal, or entirely new laws would be
enacted to bring labor's leadership I'M
der control.
Yet Congress has yet to take Its
first step in this direction. There have
been hearings galore, and a plethora
of announcements, discussions, and
what have you. But the country still
awaits the initial move to break the
monopoly of labor and to remove the
ever-present threat of strikes.
The delay can be charged to politics
alone. Next year is a presidential
election year. The republicans want to
regain mastery of the national politi-
cal situation. As a consequence the
Republicans in Congress are afraid to
do anything that might jeopardize their
hopes of victory. So we have a tele-
phone strike, and in effect a coal strike,
and heaven only knows how many more
NAV follow, all because a group of politi-
clans lack the courage to make good
their campaign promises.

The Book OF

The old name of talking ma
chine is still in use today. Other
names for the instrument are
photograph, gramophone and
graphophone.
In schools, music for instruction
can be played again and again.
In many factories and offices re-
corded music provides relaxation
and relieves fatigue. This music
comes through plant broadcasting
systems developed on electronic
principles.
The debating machine used in
offices is a form of the talking
machine. A wax cylinder is put
on and the machine is started.
The man who is debating a letter
talks into a tube. Everything he
says is cut in a tiny line On the
wax surface Of the cylinder.
When the typist is ready to
write the letters, she may use the
same machine. She pushes a little
lever, puts Two tiny tubes in her
ears, and the machine gives back
to her what has been said. She
can make the machine 60 as fast
or as slowly as she wishes, and
can make it repeat any part as
often as necessary. In large
offices, different machines are
used for dictation and for repro
ducing.
A recent and growing use of the
talking machine is the recording
of books and plays for the blind.
Frequently a new book is record
ed by its own author, so that the
blind may hear the voice of the
man to whose story or ideas they
r listening.
So many devices have been in
vented to improve the p%erfor-
nance of the talking machine that
you might think very little re-
mains to be done. However, in
ventors promise wonderful i'm
provements in the future.

Where Responsibility Rests

DR.. Evelyn Mills Duvall, executive
secretary of the National Council on
Family Relations, has published a
pamphlet with the title keeping Up
With Teen-Agers." From the name
one might almost expect a pursuit
story. Rather it is an explanation of
the relations the author believes should
exist between parents and offspring,
particularly while the latter r pass
ing through the difficult bobby-sox
and sweat-shirt period.
It is not a one-sided problem, says
Doctor Duvall. Parents must be will
ing to see their children as individuals
in their own right" she says, and
adds: Young people must be able to
view their parents as real persons as
well as parents. Mutual respect and
genuine affection are needed for un-
~derstanding each other"
In it's discussion of such everyday
problems as "getting in at all hours"
spending too much money" and mo-
taking care of things" the author
concludes that youth will take as
much responsibility as is really theirs
.. now as always"
Parents can speed up the process OF
bridging the gap between the genera
tons by studying teen-age develop
ment and adjustment through books
classes, and discussion groups, DIR. Du.
vail recommends. Keeping their owr
Interests alive and being active in the
community will help diminish the tend
ency of parents to cling possessively tt
their children, she adds.
While the pamphlet, in an effort te
be fair from all angles, puts consid
cradle responsibility or the teen-agers
lit has always seemed to us that ii
homes where parents keep in intimate
touch with their children, participate
in their fun, guide them with circum
spection and reasonable consideration
for their age and mental processes-ir
short, are their true pals - teen-age
problems are minor affairs. The CHIEF
responsibility rests %squarely upon thu
shoulders of parents for the conduct
of their offspring.

FAMILIAR THINGS
THE TALKING MACHINE
HAS MANY USES


Since the invention of the talk
ing machine, it has been grad
ually developed and greatly i'm
proved, as described in an earlier
article. Today it has many uses.
1t is used to record music, poet
ry, stories, and also important
speeches and happenings. In the
vaults of the Paris Grand Opera
House. and elsewhere, have been
placed collections of records made
by great musicians. They a be
taken out so Or 100 years from
now, and listeners will be able to
hear music of the past. Dlstln-
guished men and women of var
ious countries have spoken for
the talking machine, and their
voices have been preserved for
future generations. The voices of
birds and animals have been re-
corded. So have the sounds of
battle.
Large sums Of money have been
paid to artists for their record :
Iings. Enrico Caruso's royalties
were the first to reach very large
sums. Nowadays it is not at all
uncommon for a successful artist
to receive as much as 500, 900 a
year in earnings from records.
Making a record is both inter
esting and difficult. Suppose it is
to be a song with orchestral &C
compartment. In the recording
auditorium, the singer first re-
hearses with the orchestra, per
haps several times. Perhaps some
of the instruments in the orchestra
need to be placed nearer the mi
crophone or farther away to OBJ
tain the proper balance. Then a
section of the song, with orches-

Gulf Ports Moving IN

New Orleans is shaking off the
lethargy that followed the Huey Long
dictatorship in Louisiana. In a very
big way, the city is coming back
And one of the principal methods its
leadership is employing is the building
up of new and greater trade relations
with Latin America. The value of COM
merce is fully appreciated in the city.
Among plans for development is a
program to persuade the federal gov
eminent to create a direct tide water
channel from it's docks to the Gulf of
Mexico and so shorten and straighten
the hundred and ten mile channel ship
ping now has to wind through.
New Orleans is to be commended not
alone for this project but for the new
spirit it is demonstrating with the OBJ
ject of taking advantage of postwar
opportunities. While the city is entitled
to high praise for it's progressiveness,
it is to be noted that one more Gulf
port is getting into position to compete
for ocean commerce at the loss of South
Atlantic ports. Houston, Gulfport, Mo-
bile are rapidly getting back into their
prewar stride. Now New Orleans,
which has been dropping back for a
couple of decades, is determined to
forge ahead. This cannot fail to have
its influence upon the direction of Latin
American trade, and it is from the other
Americas that Southern ports may
reasonably expect their heaviest volume
of trade for some years to come.
If Atlantic ports do not place them
selves in a position to compete with
Gulf ports they will be out of the
reckoning, just as New Orleans has
been, for a long time to come.
If Wilmington ever needed support
for its port development program, now
is the time. The legislature went a
little way toward giving North Caro-
lima ports a shove ahead. But much
more is needed. The principal port,
Wilmington, cannot get into competition
with other Southern ports, whether
the Atlantic or the Gulf, until termi-
nails inseparable from successful port
operations are provided.
Wilmington must look to Washing
ton for them. The forces now working
50 ably for federal support in the Ma
tional Capital richly deserve the back
ing of the city, to the last resident, in
their effort to complete pending negotia-
tons for these facilities.

Americas Card Authority

Written for NEA Service
Today's hand will 80 down as
one of the most famous in bridge
tournament history. 1t is the hand
that brought the Vanderbilt Cup,
which is emblematic of the ma :
tional knockout team-of-four title,
to the team of Harry j. Fishbein,
Joseph E. Low and Larry Hirsch
of New York, Harry Feinberg of
Cleveland and David Clarren OF
Minneapolis.
For three : quarters Of the final
match the team Of Bertram
Lebhar Jr., Lee Hazen, Peter
Leventritt and Samuel Katz had
maintained the lead-then along
came this hand. There was a
swing Of 2510 points on the board.
At one table, Lebhar sat West
and Leventritt East. The first two
rounds of bidding went the same
at both tables, but at table No. l,
when Leventritt (East) bid five
clubs, South bid five spades ard
Lebhar t(West) doubled. He got
off to a heart opening and South
(Clarren) made five spades dou-
bled for a plus score Of $50 points.
The bidding shown in the box
is the way it went at table No. 2.
Feinberg Cast went to six
hearts. If a heart had been open
ed, won with the ace and a heart
continued, Feinberg might have
lost the contract because he might
have taken the club finesse. With
a diamond opening he had an in
teresting play to make. He ruffeo
the diamond and cashed the ace
and king Of clubs. South's queen
dropped, establishing the whole
club suit.
If Feinberg had made the mis-.
take OF leading a trump, let US
say a small heart to dunmy's
king, North would have won, re-
turned his third club, and South
could have overtrumped dummy
with the ten-spot,' defeating the
contract.
But Feinberg did not make that
mistake. After cashing his two
high clubs, he led the ten of clubs,
and no matter what South die
then, the hand was safe. If South
trumped with the four Of hearts,
dummy could overtrump with the
eight. If South discarded, dummy
would discard.
Now the trump lead was made
without danger As North had nc
club to return,

We hold no brief for MI. Trask, nor
one for Mr.. Carter. But it is indisput-
able that as long as they maintain their
present attitude toward each other the
home must suffer and the inmates re-
main the innocent victims of their dis
agreement.
