To Columbus Sheriff
After Shooting Negro
Special To The Star

WHITEvILLE, July 16 - Seth
Cartrette, young white man OF
the Beaver Dam section of Will
limas Township, surrendered to
Sheriff H. D. Stanley on Satur-
day afternoon after shooting
Claudis Coviness, colored man,
following an argument over to-
bacco on Saturday morning be-
tween 10 and II o'clock.
The sheriff stated that Carter
cite had walked into his office On
Saturday and said: II just shot
a negro on my farm and want
to give myself up" The sheriff
accompanied Cartrette back to
the scene Of the shooting while
the white man described the argu-
ment.
Cartrette stated to the sheriff
that he and the Negro had de-
veloped an argument over the
manner in which some tobacco
was being handled. During the
argument, Cartrette said, the
Negro advanced On him and he
shot in self-defense. Coviness is
now in the Columbus County Hos

as fair. According to reports, the

cities have ordinances governing
the operation of tents which also
apply to those used by circuses,
carnivals and for other purposes.
Council members in discussion,
agreed that automobiles parked
on the streets in front OF the tents
while meetings are in progress,
have proved a nuisance and that
amplifiers used by speakers at the
meetings carry loud noises
throughout the neighborhood. They
also said that the canvas and
shaving placed on the ground in
side the tents cause undue fire
'azards.
A report on the matter will be
given the council at its next meet
ing. An ordinance on tht matter
likely will be introduced.

THE CHOICE

AAAAI A1AOAOC
WASHINGTON, July 15-Presi-
dent Harry Truman and Secretary
Of State George c Marshall al
Jew days ago conferred at some
length at the White House on the
difficult and Immensely critical
decision which row faces them.
They must decide whether or not
; special session Of the Congress
is to be called in the autumn. No
final decision was made at the
White House conference, Cor the
choice which c%onfronts Truman
end Marshall is. not an easy one.
They must carefully balance the
growing urgency Of decisive
American action in Europe
against the very serious political
dangers inherent in a special ses-
sion.
If nothing is done about the
Marshall program before the reg
ular session starts on Jan. l, it
will be little short of miraculous,
on the basis Of past performance,
i the Congressional mind is made
up before March or April, 1913
And it is possible that by then it
will merely be a question Of Slam
ming the barn door shut after the
European horse is stolen There
fore the State Department techni-
clans are already engaged on as
careful a preliminary assessment
as is possible so long before the
event, of the risks involved in
such a delay.
! In this assessment, the two key
points are, of course, Italy and
france. L economic chaos forces
either country INTO the arms of
the Communists and the Soviet
Union, the Russians will have
come very close to winning the
whole European contest. OF the
two, the Italian situation is con-
sidered the most Immediately
critical.
Some optimists believe that the
mere hope of eventual support
under the Marshall program may
alone be enough to steady the
Italian economy and halt the
flight from the Ira. But most of
the experts make the informed
guess-it is no c than a guess
that Italy must have some sort
Of help before next Feb. / i a
f~ull-scale economic and political
explosion is to be averted.
These men point to the fact
that there is not much more than
500, 900, 900 left in the Italian dol
lar exchange kitty, while the dol
lsr deficit for this year alone will
probably be three or four times
that amount. They point also to
the fact that Palmiro Togliatti's
Communist party has already de-
clared open psychological war
care against the Italian non-Com-
munist majority. The Italian
Communists recently decided by
a slim majority to eschew tempo
rarily the use of violence to gain
their ends. But Togliatti himself
made it clear that this was q
temporary decision, capable Of
being reversed at any time. The
non -Communist Italian govern
ment thus operates in the shadow
Of the sub-ma chinegun.
The French dollar position is
slightly less pressing than that in
Italy. Moreover, il the recently
announced World Bank bond issue
is successful, France stands to
gain another quarter billion dol
lars of credit in the fall. Thus it
is believed that France could prob
ably squeak by until early spring
without greatly reducing essential
American imports. But here again
any assessment must be made at
least as much in political as In
economic terms.
The Communists who control

Matter OF Fact
By Joseph And Stewart Alsop

ne General Confederation Of La
DOR have threatened the French
vernment with a general strike
the miserahly underpaid
rench civil servants. Such a
trike, if at all prolonged, would
!: course reduce the government
OF France to a shambles. The
price OF %averting it, the Commu-
lists have made clear. is Com
inunist participation in The gov
eminent. 1t is not a price which
he Ramadier government is pre-
pared to pay. Thus a great test
Of strength is probable in the near
future.
One key is the government
workers themselves. The Commu.
Rlst intention is quite clear 1c
make French participation in the
Marshall plan impossible. If the
civil servants, underpaid as they
are. nevertheless shows signs o.
umwillingness thus to play the So.
Wet game, the Communists are
expected to back down, rather
than risk their hold on the Con
federation of Labor. But under
any circumstances, the Commu
nists will certainly continue to ex
ert all the immense political anc
psychological pressure at theil
disposal to wreck the Marsha.
program.
Thus the decision which con.
fronts Truman and Marshall is a
question of the most exquisite
timing. For there is no doubt al
all that the whole idea of a spe.
cial session is profoundly unpopu-
lar IN Capitol Hill. Nor are the
I'LL political implications of the
Marshall program generally I'm.
derstood. It is not just a question
Oh a~llocating the necessary funds.
For the present Congress, hating
executive authority, will necessar.
lily be asked to grant great. au-
thority to an American agency tc
control ALLEGATIONS and export
%priorities on the essential goods.
And it will certainly be asked,
for example, to permit the char
tering to foreign governments Of
Liberty and Victory ships. This
would permit, over a period O.
time, the saving Ct as much as
a billion in dollar exchange In
carrying charges to such govern
ments. But it would also vastly
irritate both the powerful shipping
interests and the maritime un.
ions.
Obviously it will not be easy
under any circumstances to per
slade Congress to dc what must
be done if the Marshall program
IS to work. 1t will be doubly difei-
cult if the Congressman feel tina
they have been badgered and
bludgeoned by an unfeeling Ad-
ministration into leaving their po-
litical fences at home all unmend-
ed.
On Capitol Hill itself, a possible
compromise has been advanced.
It has been suggested that only
the members of the two foreign
affairs committees, and possibly
a couple of other key committees,
return to Washington for hearings
on the Marshall proposal and the
Europeans response to it. This
might save weeks Of precious
time. Perhaps this suggestion Of
fers the best solution of the enor-
rlously difficult choice which con.
fronts President Truman and Sec
rotary Marshall.
