I realize that this asse,-io,

the question of why defeat NJ d.
Communists should be nl,..;
ahead of, say, further reform /,
the national government.
We discussed a partial ar,r,.
to this briefly in a recent co,,r,1
1t is that there is no possibI4 c,,,
promise between communism ,.,
any other political belief On s "a.
face of the earth. No country co~5
be part Communist and part so~s-
thing else. It's that cardinal FAM
which rapidly is dividing the ohm,
into two camps which aye
swords point politically. ecoromr
ally and relig1ously.
However. hat isn't the vsar,
story by a long shot. There's an.
other highly important angle IA
which Catholic Archbishop Ps1
Yu-Pin drew attention yesterday

for America aid. He declared ina
China's civil wal actually j,
foreign war" He added that IN.
less the United States gave assy.
ance, ''she herself may be ,s
next VICTIM" and China may BE-.
come the birthplace of World Var
III.
The significance of the archos..
ops remark about a foreign
war" is of course that it echoss
Chinese nationalist goveranem
charges that Russia is aiding the
Chinese Communists in tha,r 4.
fort to overthrow the Marking GOV.
ernme1lt and establish communism
in China. AS a matter Of fac, this
charge isn't new, but has been
maintained by Chiang's govern
ment for a long time. The Russians
are accused not only Of Furnishing
the Chinese rebels with wal SUP
plies, but with having turned jn'
portant military positions owe. 10
them when the Soviet forces were
Withdrawing from Manchuria.
Anyway. the vital point is t8t
if the Chinese Communists should
be successful in their re5e-11,
Moscow ultimately would add
China with its five hundred nil
lions to the Soviet sphere Of u
fluence. That would make Rus
STA the dominant power in the OH
EFT. Small wonder then that Ar:a'
bishop Paul Yu-Pin should think
of China as the possible birthplace
of 2 third world war.
So China would seem to be con
fronted with a very terrible para
dox: That she must forge peace j
the flames of war.

WASHINGTON, June 28.- W.P -
My chore today is to prove that
the gentlemen e not, either,
ghouls.
Two years ago, you a re-
member, President Truman rec
commended a law to take care of
our Observation-Disclosures. If the
President died, the President said,
let the job go to the Speaker of
the House.
After the Republicans got in
control of congress and elected
one of their men a. speaker this
year, they decided it was a good
idea. Their Sen. Kenneth Wherry
of Neb. wrote such a bill and
brought it up for a vote. The
Democrats didn't like anything
about it. And their Sen. Alben W.
Barley Of KY, tried to veto it.
Now go on with the dialogue:
Suppose on Jan. 20, inaugu-
F%ration day." cried Sen. B., 'the
President-elect is i'll. He is in a
hospital. He is unconscious. He
cannot take the oath of office. So
the speaker has to resign from
congress in order to take the oath
as President. And then the Presi-
dent RECEIVERS. He goes back to
work. And what have you got?"
You have an ex-speaker out of
a job, that's what, Numbered the
gentleman from Kentucky.
"The Speaker is not going to re-
sign for a temporary difficulty OF
a week." shouted Sen. Wherry.
He'd have to-" insisted Sen.
Barley.
mo, he wouldn't" snapped the
gentleman from Nebraska.
Sen. Eark1ey tried the retort
ironic. He said he supposed actu-
ally the Speaker wouldn't have to
accept the presidency of the
United States.
"That's absolutely correct"
chortled Sen. Wherry. "He
wouldn't resign to become Presi-
dent for just one week"
There's no way to force a mai
to become President" Sen. Bark
ley agreed, "but nc matter how
briefly he acted as President, he'd
have to resign from congress-"
So there was some more pa
laver. Numerous democrats of.
fered amendments to thwart Pres
ident Truman's ideas. And here

tribute one cent to the operation of
~Bluethenthal field; the county is cur
rently providing a budget of $31, 900,
with a good part of it being maintain
ed in revenue from the airport.
Apparently not satisfied by interven-
ing in this quarrel between two air
lines, the city went and picked one with
Charlotte.
It asked CAB to refuse Delta a%irlines
the right to operate into the Queen City
with routes west to Cincinnati and
Chicago. Delta, we are informed, was
denied that in an earlier petition. The
reason was that CAB saw the disad-
vantages of having a part of the Delta
line parallel that awarded Piedmont and
which State is trying to get. This di-
version Of traffic would have been un-
healthy for all. But council, if it's eff
forts to reopen the State-Piedmont
case are successful, would at the anne
time provide a r%e-hearing of Delta's
petition.
Thus, by siding with State, the oun
cil's action may contribute to a re-hear-
ing for Delta on the very thing the
city is opposing-diversion of traffic
west of Charlotte.
During Fridays special session,
Harry Gardner, chairman of the county
commissioners Airport committee, was
called in and asked to support the city's
petition to CAB. He refused. He
pointed out that CAB has done every
thing Wilmington has asked in oral
arguments. 1t has given us, he con-
tinued, quick accessibility to fast serv-
ice. When Mr.. Boyd went to Washing
ton to argue the case, Mr.. Gardner
reminded council, he asked for service
and said Wilmington did not care which
line gave it. 1t is quite obvious that
the city's new petition c%ontradicts that
earlier stand.
If anyone wants to charge that
council has muddled the situation,
through it's determination to take sides
in an argument between airlines, he
certainly has the right to do so. It is
to be hoped that the city's attitude
will not delay Improvement of air serv-
ice here. Piedmont, so it's officials say.
is pushing preparations to begin the
service 50 badly needed. It's policy ap-
pears to be one of deeds rather than
words.
We don't believe it's president will be
too offended by Wilmington's apparent
lack of official hospitality. He prob
ably realizes that the councilmen have
taken upon themselves functions of the
CAB as they recommend which airline
should serve Wilmington. Why they
thought they had to do this isn't
clear, unless, of course, it was the
promise Of States intentions to estab-
lish headquarters here. So, when Pied
mont's head arrives with it's first
regularly scheduled plane at Bluethen-
thai, we think he will be quite cordial
with the welcoming delegation. In fact,
he may offer some Of the dignitaries
a free ride.
It is to be hoped that at least one
member of the council will be present
and will, with good humor, arise to the
occasion and reply: aNo thanks, we've
been taken for a ride"

The Gallup Poll
Owning A Business, With
All Its Risks, Appeals
To Most People
By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of Public OpiniOn

PRINCETON, N. j., June
28-The American ideal that
every worker can one day
own his own business still
has powerful appeal through
out the country.
In spite of the popular
drive of the last decade for
security, two out of every
three people polled by the
Institute say that they Cor
the menfolk in their family
would prefer to own their
own business and assume all
the risks, rather than work
for someone else and let that
person take the risks.
The extent to which the idea
of going into business for oneself
appeals to the American popula-
ton is seen in the following sur
vey conducted from coast to coast
by the Institute:
eff you could have your choice,
would you prefer to own your own
business Cor have your husband
own hiss and assume all the risks
or would you prefer to work for
someone else and let that person
assume all the risks?"
The vote:
Own business OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 63T
Work for someone else --..-- "a
No opinion 3
The concept of "everyman his
own boss'' has particular appeal
to the veterans of World War II.
Today's survey finds that eight
veterans uot of every 10, Or a
much higher proportion than for
the rest of the country, would
prefer running their own business
to working for someone else.
Manual workers as a group
show less interest than others in
branching out on their own. The
differences by occupation groups
follow.

ambiguous position of, while asserting
If wants the best air service available
for Wilmington, formally going on
record as opposing the airline awarded
the franchise and now preparing to give
the community that service.
That is the logical Interpretation OF
the action taken by the board in special
session Friday. s
Here is what it did:
Asked the Civil A%eronautics board
to reopen the case in which it granted
Piedmont Aviation, Inc, east-west
routes from Wilmington to Cincinnati.
It then called on CAB to reverse
Itself and award the routes to State
Airlines. an unsuccessful applicant.
In other words, council is trying to

ice into Wilmington late this summer

the bush. 1t was admittedly influence
ed by a promise by State that, if CAB
re%considered the case and if it were
awarded the routes, it intends to set
up headquarters here and employ ap-
proximately $50 persons. H. b. Boyd
ST.. industrial traffic manager of the
citv and county, informed council at
its latest session that CAB would give
little if any attention to that. Mr.
Bovd Is right. The federal agency is
interested in seeing that the best air
service available is furnished this and
other communities; not in what some
line may promise a city or town out
side this category.
So. council placed itself in the midst
of a controversy in which n Of its
members, Mayor E. L. White, COM
mented during the lengthy discussion
last Wednesday that Il don't believe
anything this board does is going
to have any effect on CAB" Yet, Fri
day, Councilmen R. L. Burnett and Ed
Yopp contended there was no middle
ground. The latter said: "We must sup
port one line or the other" We would
like to know why.
DR.. James M. Hall, county commits
'sioner, slashed through the tiresome
maze of arguments and %purported facts
at the original meeting on the matter
by the city and county last Wednesday
when he said:
"Let them piedmont and State air
lines) fight their own battles. The
CAB knows more about this than we
do and the case should stand on it's
merits" His words constituted a mo-
ton to place the boards on record as
maintaining a neutral attitude and not
intervening in the case. This was
seconded by Commissioner George
Trask and was approved by a 5 to 8
vote. The commissioners, apparently
believing the matter had been settled,
departed. The councilmen, still de-
termined to get into a controversy in
which n had admitted that their par
ticipation would not be influential, then
decided to have City Attorney William
B. Campbell redraft the faulty petition
State was begging all to sign and re-
consider the matter Friday. It might be
