UNITY OF EFFORT WINS

The people Of Wilmington yesterday
demonstrated the power that lodges in CO.
operation. Some hundred persons appear
ed before the Board Of County Commis-
sionars TO request a special election tor
a junior college. They represented every
civic club, the senior and junior Chamber
of Commerce, Sorosis, the Community
Council, Senior Fraternity; business firms
including some Of The community
largest tax payers in person. No more
complete cross-section Of the population
could have assembled.
When Dr.. John T.. Hoggard, chairman
of the Board of Education, had presented
the boards resolution requesting an cleo
tion, E. L. White president Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, briefly told Of the prof.
ect, and wa followed by delegates from
the organizations represented, and after
the motion had been put and seconded,
Addison Hewlett, chairman Of the County
Board, explained that when the proposal
was first presented about a year ago he
felt thai public sentiment had not been
aroused for the school and so felt the
time wa not ripe for a public ballot. With
the organizations in The city endorsing the
proposal now, as the group then present
indicated, he had changed his view and
gave the election his hearty support.
The vote was four for the election,
none against, Commissioner Trask de-
claring he could moi vote. Unity of ef-
fort, concerted action, had accomplished
its purpose.
After the required period Of advertising
the people Of New Hanover county are
TO have the privilege Of expressing their
opinion. That a majority Of voters who
participate in the balloiing will give the
college their endorsement is a foregone
conclusion, based on the representation
Of the citizenship at yesterdays Commits
sion session.
That a junior college will bring New
Hanover County and Wilmington 10 a
higher level Of appreciation throughout
the state is moi TO be doubted. It is not
only that area parents, who have sent
their sons and daughters to junior colleges
elsewhere, may give their offspring equal
training al home. 1t is moi only because
large amounts Of money that have been
invested in junior college courses beyond
this region may be kept at home and
will more than offset the slight increase
in taxes-io be moi more than 5 per cent
Or thai training for the trades will share
the curriculum with academic courses.
These are tremendous advantages, TO be
sure, but in addition Wilmington will be
doing something Of great educational
value for all southeastern North Caro-
lima.
Wilmington has invited business patron
age for years from its trading area. Now
ii can offer the trading area something
else-something Of inestimable value
when the junior college is available for
its sons and daughters who have gradual
ed from high school.
SurleY the cooperation mat has been
displayed in the campaign for the college
election points the way for similar unity
in other undertakings Of major importance
to Wilmington, New Hanover County and
all southeastern North Carolina.

Waste Less Befogs

GARNETT, Kans., Oct. 30.-Alf M.
Landon criticized the administra-

issue, declaring last night that put
ting the emphasis on waste less
befogs the public" :"
The pill We must take" the 1886

"Of all our political leaders, Sen

Ohio is the only one that has had
the courage to state the issue plain
ly, when he said the only way we
could do the job confronting us
was to eat less
Senator Taft was suggesting the
way of sacrifcial giving. His critics
actually were telling the American
people that the stuffed belly comes
first. They were telling us that we
could give our cake and eat it too.
THE timid administrations ap-
proach, of course, means the same
thing as Taft's. But putting the

Clio Says US. Ban on Reds
Shifted Meeting 10 Paris
By the Associated Press

American regulations barring the
entry of Communists into this coun-
try were cited by the CIO yesterday
as the cause for shifting an inter-
national labor meeting from New
York to Paris.
The CIO said it's meeting with
representative of the French Gen
eral Confederation of Labor would
be transferred to the French capital
because of restrictions placed on two
French trade unionists.
1t said the decision followed the
State Departments refusal to grant
visas to Pierre Labrun and Henri
Reynaud on the ground that they
are Communists.
Later Attorney General Clark is
sued waiver permitting Mr.. Labrun
and Mr.. Reynaud to enter the coun-
try for the two days of the meeting,
October % and %, with the under
standing that they stay in the New
York City area.
The two refused to accept the
visas on this basis.
The CIO committee members
protest against this infringement
of individual liberty and of trade
union liberty and scheduled the
meeting for Paris Immediately fol-
lowing the session of the executive
bureau of the World Federation Of
Trade Unions at the end of No.

|ClO Union Dismisses
Officer for Not Filing
Non-Red Affidavit
By jones Y. Newton \

The CIO Utility Workers
Union today dismissed an officer
for refusing to sign a non-Conl-
munist affidavit as required by
the Taft-Hartley law.
The action was taken by the un-
ions Executive Board just before
the officers filed registration papers
and affidavits disavowing commun-
ism at the Labor Department and
National Labor Relations Board,
making the union eligible to do
business under the new law.
Union officers announced that
James L. Daugherty, California
regional director, had been removed
as member of the Executive Board
for refusing to file an AFFIDAVIT. If
allowed to stand it would have
barred recourse to the NLRB for the
entire union. The organizations S
constitution classif1es board mem
bers as officers and the rev labor
law requires all union officers to file
the non-C Communist papers.
William j. Pachler, secretary
treasurer of the organization, said
the union also has a provision in
its constitution barring Communists
from membership.
He said that while Mr.. Daugherty
denies that he is a Communist, he
refused to file an affidavit to that
effect. At the unions convention
in Buffalo last week, such refusal by
an officer was declared to be a vio-
lation of the constitution. The
union decided to comply with the
Taft Hartley Act, although it bit
terly criticized provisions of the law.
Joseph, Fischer, president of the
union, said Mr.. Daugherty's status
as regional director for California
will be considered at board meet
ing here next week. The meeting
also may consider filling the vacant
post on the board.
Mr.. Fischer also disclosed that
Allan S. Haywood, director of or
ganization for the C1O, had quit as
adviser to the union because of the
pressure of other duties. He said
Mr.. Haywood's post probably will
not be filled.

u. 5. and Britain Protest
Red Seizure Of Austrian Oil
By the Associated Press

. LONDON, Oct. 3O.-The United
States and Britain have protested
to Russia directly against Soviet
seizure of the rich Lobau oil fields
and installations in Austria.
A British Foreign Office spokes-
man, confirming today reports that
the two countries had sent separate
notes of protest to Moscow, said they
followed two futile oral protests tt
Russian authorities in Vienna.
The oil fields-perhaps the largest
in Austria and jointly owned by
British and American capita.
through Austrian subsidiary COM
panies-were taken over by the
Russians without warning as repara-
tions six weeks ago.
The formal British-American pro.
tests were regarded as designed tt

British Labor Regime
|Averts Defeat Twice
In Commons Voting
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 30.-Britain's
Labor government averted de-
feat by less than 80 votes on two
occasions in the House of Com
mons today-the narrowest mar
gins it has had since the party
came to power in August, 1945.
BY a count of 1874 to 160, the Labor
majority approved hotly argued
motion to end debate on contro-
versial government proposal to abol-
ish the slim basic gasoline ration
now allotted to British motorists.
The Conservative opposition greeted
the vote with shouts of gag" and
resign, resign"
A few moments later the House
defeated, 1877 to 100, an opposition
motion to annul the government
order wiping out the basic gasoline
ration.
The closeness of the votes was due
partly to Labor abstentions and the
lateness of the hour-the ballot
came in the early hours Of the
morning after night sitting-which
reduced the attendance generally
The Labor Party has 1874 seats and
the Conservatives 100.
These votes followed by only a
few hours Winston Churchill S
fourth unsuccessful effort to throw
the Labor Party out of Office by
adverse parliamentary ballot. The
House defeated his attempt last
night, 384 to 2O1. His previous at
tempts failed, 381 to 1877. in 1945;
374 to 1913 last April and 251 to 148
last August.
The debate on the gasoline issue,
on which an adverse vote might
have put the government in a posi-
ton where it would have been
forced to resign, developed few
hours after messengers carried into
the House of Commons petition
bearing more than 100000 sigma
lures protesting against abolition
of the gasoline ration.
Hugh Gaitskell, newly appointed
Minister of Fuel and Power, said
the decision to abolish the basic
ration was taken as IAN essential
step in the balance of payments, to
save foreign currency in general
and dollars in particular" He said
it would mean a saving of f7,500, 1000
(s30,0O0,00O in dollars.
Mr.. Churchill Immediately seized
on the issue and bounced to his
feet with the declaration that:
These are very large questions
=. 1t would be very much better
to allow this discussion to 60 for
ward and allow opinion to develop.
I really cannot feel that the state
ment of Mr.. Gaitskell, however glib
and sweeping and logical it may
appear to be, Is an answer to the
difficulties we have in this practical
question of how to meet the diff
culties of our dollar situation"
Chuter EIDE, deputy leader Of the
House, said he saw no reason why
the debate should be continued and
offered his motion to end it.
Earlier, the House wound up two
days of debate on Mr.. Churchill's
effort to expel the government by
rejecting the opposition leaders res
olution stating that Prime Minister
Attlees cabinet lacked the national
leadership, the administrative COM
petence or the measures necessary
to meet" the nations grinding eco
nomic troubles.
