Boy Scouts Roundup

10 enrich their program and make it avail
able to more boys, the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea are to conduct nationwide Scout
Round-Up' this autumn. In elimination of
this roundup, Scouts in the Cape Fear
Council area have announced an encamp-
ment in Wilmington November IA to 16 in
elusive.
The power of organized boyhood to render
really worthwhile service to the community
during wartime and in peace has been prov
en- through the years. Scout training has
enabled boys to render aid in earthquakes,
tornadoes floods and other catastrophes It
has given boys abundant opportunities to dis
play common sense, resourcefulness and lead
ership.
The daily good turn" that each Scout
seeks to render contributes to the poy's
right attitude. Every time a boy is led to
do something for somebody else in the
spirit OF service he becomes by just so much,
capable of doing little bit more He de-
velops an inclination to be thoughtful of 9TH
ers. This is character development and it is
citizenship training of the highest order.
The Scout good turns" are often simple,
helpful things many of them are practically
extra kindnesses and services that boys do
beyond what courtesy and good manners call
for. In countless ways Scouts have done and
are doing their bit to help brighten the
lives of their neighbors
Because Of their training and ability to do
things and follow instructions, Scouts are
used effectively by civic authorities and Red
Cross Officials in times of emergency.
Through their service to others Scouts be-
come better citizens. This training has a
lasting effect upon most Scouts in their
adult lives

Those 20 Questions
BY PETER EDSON

Washington,-Wide differences
in opinion on 20 leading foreign
and domestic issues are shown
in tn e answers to a question
naire sent by this column to its
700 daily newspaper client edi-
tors and 300 members of Con-
gress, top government officials
and Washington representatives
of labor and business groups.
All of these issues will be con-
didered by the coming special
and regular sessions of Con-
gress.
On the basis of 3 40 per cent
return, it is found that there is
general agreement on only two
questions.
1. Only 9 to 13 per cent believe
that the U. S. should stop
further aid to Europe.
2. On the question of Europe's
ability to repay Marshall Plan
advances, only Al to As per cent
believe that outright grants = in
aid should be given, with no re-
payment called for.
On all other questions, the
opinions of the different groups
varied from zero to 100 per cent.
Every one of the government
officials replying thinks rent
controls should be extended be.
yond the present expir alton date
of Feb. 20, 1948. Not one of the
senators replying would admit
opposition to the President s
plan that something be done
about high prices at the coming
special session.
This special session is op.
posed, however, by 60 per cent
| of the senators, congressman
and the Washington representa-
tives of business and labor or
ganizations. It is approved by
IS per cent of the editors ano
government officials.
Not one group showed a ma
| jority in favor of a return tc
price controls. Forty eight per
cent of the government officials
answered that some limited
form of price control would be
necessary to control initiation,
which was the most favorable
showing.
A majority of government of.
ficials think prices can be
brought down without reducing
wages. They voted "a per cent
| in support of this belief. Sixty
per cent of the senators, ap.
par emily hold the same view, but
only 80 per cent of the congress
men.
On the likelihood of a business
recession in 1948, the business
leaders seem more fearful than
any other group, so per cent
answering that they saw danger
ahead. Forty-seven per cent OF
the editors, 48 per cent of the
government officials and so per
cent OF the senator's are similar.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-11-11

Ily concerned, but only "a per
cent of the congressman show
alarm over the possibility of a
depression.
Greatest confidence in volun-
tary rationing is shown by fed
eral government officials, but
only 81 per cent of them think
the program will accomplish the
desired result of helping feed
Europe. Other groups think it
will fail.
Editors lead the parade in
believing the Taft-Hartley bill is
not too tough. They answered S8
per cent this way, as compared
to "a per cent of the congress-
men, 81 per cent of the business
representatives, so per cent of
the senators and - surprisingly
enough-52 per cent of the TOP
officials of the Truman admins
tration.
Editors are likewise the most
enthusiastic over prospects of
tax reduction, 72 per cent say
ing they want it next session.
At the other extreme, only 48
per cent of the government Of
ficials favor it: Congressmen-
who will decide the question
favor reduction.
Sixty-nine per cent of the edi-
tors think that aid to European
countries should be made con-
ditional on their taking steps to
block communism. Congress
sional minds are more CAUTIOUS.
while admitting the desirability
of this step, many wrote in
after their answers, elbow do
you do this?" or 1T can't be
|done."
! Members of Congress and
government officials seem more
Ireluctant to write off the UN
than other groups. Only 10 per
cent of the senators, 26 per cent
of the congressman and 80 per
cent of the government officials
favor trying to set up a new
world organization now. On the
other hand, Al per cent of the
editors and As per cent of the
business leaders approve this
)step.
The Congress is, apparently,
far more opposed to universal
military training than any other
group. Only 80 per cent of the
lawmakers favor UNIT. Govern
ment officials are 70 per cent
flor it, editors 78 per cent and
business groups 81 per cent.
Twenty-eight per cent of the
editors and q per cent? of the
business groups think the world
lis headed for another war. But
only 10 per cent of the govern
ment officials and % per cent
of the congressman share that
view. And not one senator
answered that he thought third
world war was inevitable.

Today And Tomorrow

a ration card. The investigators
made a check to find out how
much of the food which the
British had provided actually
reached the German consumer
through legal channels, that is
to say on their ration cards.
They found that on the aver
age for all twenty towns the
actual ration legally received
was much lower than the Off
cial ration: 1t fell as low as
740 calories and rose as high
as LILO calories.
Thus much of the food, which
the British had imported or had
collected from German farm
ers, disappeared after the Ger
man officials got hold of it and
before it was distributed to the
consumers. It went, of course,
into the black market, which is
the principal market in our two
zones. There the Germans who
had money, or rather ciga-
rettes, liquor and tangible
goods, supplemented their Off
cial rations - nobody has the
least idea by how much-at the
expense of the Germans VINO
were too poor and too helpless
to take care of themselves. We
must remember in this connec-
ton that though the population
of our zones has increased con-
siderably, the new population
consists largely of women, chill
dren and old people. There is
a shortage of men between the
ages of twenty and sixty, and
these men are the ones who
operate and exploit the black
market at the expense of the
weaker members of the Ger.
man community.
There is every reason to think
that this disparity between the
official and the actual state O:
affairs is prevalent throughout
the whole economic, politicaI
and cultural life of Germany to-
day. 1t is certain that in our
zone, for example, the collec.
tion of food from the farms is
at least as unsuccessful as the
official distribution of food in
