AS. you note, although military
training (in the modern sense which
is more than ever training in many
valuable civilian skills) is the basis
of the national security corps, it
is devoid Of many factors which
have made universal service in the
past traditionally Objectionable to
the American people.
In these days, any military train

Meanwhile. President Truman
had some thoughts on how inter-
American defense could be ad-

Of actuality. He proposed to con-

from the Memorial of the North
Carolina Improvement Convention
of December 1888:
"We are informed on high au-
thority that the coasting trade OF
Wilmington employs a greater ton

this be true, and we believe it to
be so, not only on the high author

because we know the maritime
trade of North Carolina is princi-
pally a coasting trade, it would
follow that the tonnage employed
in the trade of the port of Whining

great ports of Virginia, Norfolk,

OUTLOOK BRIGHT - The fact
that the Port City faces a bright
future as far as the Cape Fear
river is concerned is nothing new
to residents of Wilmington.
More than fifty years ago scribes
found the ports outlook a major
topic for conjecture as seen by the
following account:
Wilmington early took rank as
a leading South Atlantic port. Thus
we find that, fifty years ago, be-
fore the establishment of u rail-
day systems and the construction
of the Albermarle and Chesapeake
Canal, systems designed to drain
the State of her commerce, all
rendering to the ports Of other
states, to the prejudice and disad-
vantage Of u own, Wilmington
outranked Norfolk, Petersburg and
Richmond.
According to the report of Sec
rotary of the Treasurer Levi Wood

October 1887, the tonnage enter

trade at the port of Wilmington ex-
ceeded that of Norfolk 1884 tons;

CONSOLIDATION
Committee Appointed To
Report On Combining 4
City Agencies

The fate of a proposal made at
a meeting of Wilmington business
men yesterday that the Whining
ton Port-Traffic Association, the
Chamber of Commerce, the office
of the City Industrial Agent and
the Wilmington Port Commission
be consolidated under one head
rested today in the hands of a

at large.
The committee, composed of two
Representatives of each organiza-
ton, one each from the city and
county and three from the com

make an investigation into the pro-
posal and submit a report by Jan.

Sentiment favoring the consoli-

throughout the session, but was not
unanimous. Fred Willetts, a men,
Der of the port commission, came
out against the proposal, suggest

dollar bond issue to be used for
promotion of industry in the city.
Newman spoke in favor OF a
single board of trade for Whining

operate with separate secretaries

Other French troops fighting to

The parachute drops on Sunday

the French said, and the para

opening a path for water-borne
troops which captured a cotton
mill where the European civilian
population had been fighting off
Viet-Namese attacks since Dec. 19.
The troops then battled on into

In Hanoi, itself, artillery duels

The decision not to request the

ship operations was voted at a
meeting of the South Atlantic and
Southern Ports conference held in
Jacksonville, Fla, Monday, &C
cording to j. T. HERS, executive

from the meeting.
HERS, who is chairman Of the

He said that delegates to the
conference decided that rather
than ask the Interstate Commerce
Commission for greater govern
ment service in the operation OF
the steamship lines, an effort will
be made to induce expansion
through the initiative OF private
operation to ports not now provid-
