Brought It On Themselves

The carnival isn't faring so well with
North Carolina authorities these days.
EARLY this week, the New Hanover county
commissioners banned them from Legion
field. Reason given by the board is that the
stadium was built for accommodation of ath-
letic contests. But the gambling element
which usually accompanies the shows and
rides was also a large factor in bringing
the commissioners to a quick and definite
mo"
Now, Mecklenburg has warned that it
will not tolerate lewd shows and gambling
concessions on the midway of it's Southern
States fair. They have also banned the sale
of beer and authorities have worked out
plans for policing the entire area.
The carnivals brought this chilly well
come on themselves.
BY presenting numerous means of gam
ing, few of which give the player much of
a chance, and offering lewd shows, they
have usually formented more trouble than
their host communities care to have. We
wouldn't be surprised to see more coun-
ties join New Hanover in keeping them off
publicly owned property. And the attitude
of law enforcement authorities will continue
to be unfavorable until the carnivals mend
their ways and morals to confirm with those
of the towns and cities whose patronage
they seek.

Victim Of Discrimination?

s Wilmington going to be the victim OF
h-handed discrimination by National Air
-es through continued Temporary suspen-
.ion'' of two of it's four daily flights through
Bluethenthal field?
Apparently the County commissioners
think so and they are attempting to do
something about it.
Friday, the board wrote the Civil Aero
nautics board about the treatment the com
munity is receiving. 1t told the Federal
agency tina the flights, Nos. so and 81, were
discontinued Aug. l and it understands
"that these two flights will again be inaugu-
rated at an early date but will not stop at
Wilmington, flying direct from Jacksonville,
Fla, to Newark, N. J, thus by-passing Will
mington."
The commissioners repeated request for
information concerning re-establishment OF
the flights nave not been answered by Ma
tional.
In fact, when the airline effected the
suspension, repeatedly because of fire dam
age to one of its planes at Miami, it did
not formally notify the County COM
miss n, operator of ~Bluethenthal, or the
manager of the airport. There is no escaping
the fact that the halving of the flight is
depreciating Wilmington's only regular air
service. AS an example of it's effect on air
mail, it has been necessary to transfer
hundreds of pounds to trains here since
Sept. l.
It is no wonder that the county has called
on CAB ito make a full investigation of
this matter and have National resume the
two flights on the former basis.
The commissioners are well within their
rights. Under CABS rules and regulations,
whenever an airline is forced to effect a
temporary suspension of flights, it notifies
the agency. In turn, CAB recognizes the
emergency of the situation and usually
grants permission for the temporary cancel
lation of a lines regular services. But if
representatives of the affected public come
forward and demand restoration of the
services, CAB must entertain the complaints
and act toward ordering removal of their
cause as early as possible.
Tomorrow will be the Goth consecutive
dav that the city has received but half Of
the service National is obligated to give 1t.
The airline has certainly had ample time to
relieve this Temporary condition. But ap-
p~arently it doesn't feel inclined to do so.
Therefore the lead set by the County COM
missioners in demanding CAB investigation
and action should be followed by all others
interested in adequate air service here.
There is no excuse for Wilmington to be
the victim of this kind of discrimination.
It's patronage of National has been as good
as that any other city its size.
And don't believe it will continue to
suffer 1t takes its appeal to CAB with as
much determination as the County has

who admire him, and whose ad-
miration is reflected in today's
poll, would undoubtedly part
company with him. In short, the
Generals non-partisan popularity
might not translate itself into
winning votes on election day aft
er a partisan campaign fought
along Republican and Democrat
ic lines. The current poll shows
that 81 per cent of Democratic
voters favor Gen. Eisenhower at
present. But no one can tell now
how many of those Democrats
would, on election day, actually
cross party lines to vote for him
if he ran as a Republican.
The non-partisan character of
Gen. Eisenhower's following is
evidenced by the fact, as reported
Aug. q by the Institute, that So
per cent Of American voters don't
know whether he is a Republican
or a Democrat, while % per cent
think him a Republican and 20
per cent believe him to be a Dem
ocrat.
A recent trial heat pitting
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-28

MIR. Truman against a man whose
party connections everyone in
the country knows, Governor
Thomas E. Dewey of New York,
showed a much closer race.
The results, reported in July,
were 46 per cent for Mr.. Truman,
A per cent for Gov. Dewey
and 10 per cent without opinions.
Excluding the no opinion the
vote was 81 per cent for Mr..
Truman, to 40 per cent for Gov.
or,in other words, ABOUT
an even race.
Trial heats do not in them
selves, however, present a con-
elusive picture of political senti-
ment today. Any general ap-
praisal of the situation must take
into account not only how voters
react to specific candidate posi-
bilities, but also the basic
strength of the Democratic and
Republican parties.
This latter is a key factor. The

Stronger Relief Policy Needed

We simply launched an international
|WPA.
Now it has been found that it cannot be
maintained without a depreciation Of the
American standard Of living, effected
through initiation.
Therefore, the time has arrived for the
program to be revived just as drastically
as foreign political policies have been
strengthened in recent months.
There are several means of doing this.
First, some assurance that Europe will
help itself. That means no more strikes like
those in English coal mines and on Italian
farms. When those we're trying to help
refuse to work because of domestic internal
politics, then reduce relief to them.
Second, greater joint international efforts
to assure that those countries which have
food to spare share it with shortage areas.
World relief is really a hemisphere. propo-
sition with the Western feeding the Eastern
one. Yet, South America, as fearful as we
are of the sprtad of Communism among
starving peoples, has not met its response
Utilities. The trading of surplus United States
arms to some of its countries for food to be
shipped to Europe would be a tremendous
help.
Third, a closer watch IN the food distribu-
ted overseas. Since it is being used as a pollti-
cal weapon, not one pound should fall into
Communist hands, especially in Italy, where
a Red-inspired outbreak appears imminent.
Fourth, and this point is adopted from the
recommendations of he Cabinet Food COM
mittee, frightened efforts by needy countries
by getting better collection and distribution
of the food they have produced themselves.
Like many others, we are convinced the
Allies fail to place enough emphasis on re-
sumption of production in both victor and
.vanquished states Immediately after the
close of the war.
The Marshall program should give some
hope of an eventual end to the support of
the greater part of war-torn Europe. But
until it is effected, a more concerted effort
should be made to reduce the great drain on
the United States food resources, which,
despite the counter belief of many Euro
pean leaders, do nave a limit to their en-
durance.

Cancer Clinic Approved

New Hanover's citizens are the most
generous of all North Carolinians in financ-
ing the war against cancer.
This was disclosed a few days ago when
Mrs. George E. Marshall, commander of the
State division of the American Cancer So
ciety, reported on the 1947 campaigns re-
suits. Collections for North Carolina were
$176,7 TT with $7,139, largest total for any
county on a population basis, being raised
here. Local contributions averaged Is cents
per capita.
North Carolina Sorosis, sponsor of the
financial appeal, and all who gave are to
be congratulated on carrying the community
ito statewide leadership. It was the third
year the drive has been conducted under
the auspices of the organization. Among
those making the 1947 effort so successful
were Mrs. N. L. Foy, unit commander; Mrs.
Ramsey Weathersbee, co-chairman, and
Mrs. John Knox Ward, publicity chairman.
While making the excellent showing,
Sorosis laid the foundation for a highly
worthwhile project, a cancer information
cllHIc. Approval Oh pldHS ana arrangements
for it were received yesterday from national
headquarters of the society,". When it is
placed into operation, so per cent of the
funds collected locally will remain to main
tain it. During the past, the division of
campaign revenue has been so per cent to
the North Carolina division and the re-
mainder to the American society. All the
money is used to promote education, re-
search, clinics and other means of fighting
the disease.
Thus, while New Hanover has been as
sisting on the national and state lines, it
will soon be concentrating on the home
front. All who nave worked and contributed
in the past should find considerable pride
in the fact that their interest and money
are making the clinic possible. And Sorosis
should be just as successful in its manage
ment as it has been in leading New Hanover
to the top Of North Cardinals list in the
continuous battle against a disease which
claimed 1881 lives in the state last year.

To thu Editor:

To the Editor:
1t was a fine thing that the
City council did in making an
appropriation for the purchas-
ing of a large portrait Of Whist
ler's mother to be hung in a
suitable place in City hall. 1t
was something out of the ordi-
nary realm of public business,
but it has a great value, never
theless. People will be eager to
see the portrait, which will be
a worthy copy of the famous
picture housed in Lowell, Mass,
where many of the Whistler mo-
mentoes have been gathered.
Mrs. Whistler, who was Anna
Matilda McNeill, was born in
Wilmington and spent her first
early years here. Her name is
therefore closely associated
with its history more than a
century ago. Her father, was a
well-known physician of the
town.
I am glad to state that the
idea of bringing the subject of
the portrait to the fore in Will
mington is due to the efforts
of Mr.. Louis T. Moore, who
followed the matter up for a
long time. He presented many

The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-28

The United States three greatest problems
-exorbitant prices, foreign relief and Rus
sia's Observation-Disclosures so closely related
that alienation of one will have a direct
favorable effect on the others.
Right now, emphasis is on the domestic
price situation.
Several days ago it was on our dealings
with Soviet Russia.
But the country's United Nations delega-
ton, led by Secretary of State Marshall,
finally called Russia's diplomatic and polltl-
cal bluffs. The screaming and name-calllng
by Andrei Vishinsky and associates is still
ringing in many an ear but n thing ap-
pears quite certain: Russia is now IN the
pains of making up her mind whether she
will follow the majority or live alone. The
belief that she will back down before
the majority of UN front appears to be gain
ing some strength.
It is to be expected that the current policy
of new and greater firmness will be con-
they achieve their immediate aim-abolition
of the veto among the United Nations ma
jor powers.
With the international political situation
easing, it was only natural that domestic
prices should take over the headlines during
the latter part of the week.
And President Truman contributed little
toward relief in his call to waste less" food
and thereby help meet "the extremely grave
food situation abroad" The nations house
wives have been more economical during
the past six months than at anytime in their
lives. Few ounces of food are finding their
way into the garbage pail. The homemakers
have turned to substitute after substitute
with the result that the increased demand
has shot their prices skyWard.
A good part of the solution OF the price
problem is in a firmer, more efficient handl-
ing of European relief.
In the beginning, we assumed the task
with an ,1nfavorable psychological attitude.
The United States made the old mistake
of asking the continent what can we do for
you?" 1t was not until Secretary Marshall
brought out his program that we changed
the query to "what can you do for yourself?"
