considerable opposition exists and if

It may be that the measure to ap-

Overlooking An Opportunity

With an eye focused on development
of the natural resources OF southeastern
North Carolina, the Star again reverts
to a subject it has often dwelt upon
in the hope that some person or group
would take it up in a big way, with
Whatever initial investment is neces-
sary to assure success.
The reference is to shell fish, with
the emphasis on shrimp and crabs. The
waters around this area abound in both.
With many inlets and sounds, condi-
lions are favorable for prolific breed
ing. Yet the shell fish industry has
engaged only a small portion of the
areas financial interest and has never
been cultivated on a large scale.
The Mississippi and Alabama gulf
waters maintain large shrimping fleets
and if the shrimpers are not living in
%opulence at least they are comfortably
we'll off, with canning factories ready
and waiting for their catch. Shrimp
ing has been cultivated there as care
fully and scientifically as citrus grow
ers in Florida and California watch
over their groves. They are now at. a
high stage of production, but at the
start they were no better situated than
we in this area. We could do as well
if we went into the shrimping business
along the lines they have been employ
ing for years.
AS for crabs, the need seems to be
for feeding grounds. Not long ago the
suggestion was offered to gather waste
from butcher shops and dump it at
specified locations in any one or more
of the sounds. The belief was that ma
tive crabs would fatten and grow and
be more marketable with such a dainty
dish before them. The belief was reason
able, but has not been tried out, and
SO crabs are as you find them off the
little boat landings around the sounds
and a big business is overlooked.
Wilmington needs heavy industries,
certainly. But it could do no harm to
develop others that do not have to be
brought in but exist by the gift of God.

Against Funny Money"

A group of economists who are
members of the Economists National
Committee on Monetary Policy has is
sued a statement opposing legislation
which would extend the authority of
the Federal Reserve Banks to purchase
government obligations directly from
the Treasury up to SIS billion.
The statement says-and this ews
paper agrees - that the requirement
that the Government, in times of
peace, go to the people in the open
money markets for it's borrowings is
sound for the reason that the people
thus are provided means for exercising
direct control over the public purse.
The direct borrowing legislation was
approved in principle by the Banking
and Currency Committee of the House
That decision wal taken after = pres

Income Taxes

Just what the new tax bill will dc
about the income levy is still clouded,
but it seems probable that some relief

ing apportioned to the small income
group.
The Republican leadership in the
House of Representatives, for example
favors a 80 per cent cut in the income
taxes of the lower income group and a
70 per cent reduction for virtually all
other income taxpayers. This is a mark.
ed change from the Knutson bill which
would make a 20 per cent reduction
across the board, and would give the
small income group an additional 1885,
900, 900 saving.
Any part Of this, even a few dollars
OF folding money, saved the people who
have had to reduce their n of
living throughout the years of high in
come taxes, would be a grateful relief.
1t is not at all clear that a 20 per
cent reduction on other incomes would
be a safe thing to do, unless the Con-
gress, which has not been able to find
It's way in the tax labyrinth, discovers
new means of federal economies. But
1t is becoming apparent that the in
come tax rates may be cut to some
extent on all salaries without ieopar-
dlzlng the national revenue Or bringing
the country nearc bankruptcy.
1t would seem that the business
level may come nearer to normal with
the passage of the new tax bill, pro-
vlded it leaves a few pennies more for
both the firms and the earners of the
land to take home than has been the
custom in recent years.
Part Of the uncertainties that harass
business and put the brakes on domes-
tic trade stem from income taxes. If
the Congress adopts legislation which
both reduces these taxes and at the
same time safeguards the Treasury
the American people will have the con.
1ldence needed to go ahead in this

THINGS TO MAKE AND DO
HOW TO WRITE A RADIO PLAY

O) Plot, Characters and Dialogue
One of the newest professions is
that of writing plays COR the radio
Hundreds of these plays are pro
duced each week: original dramas
and adaptations Of stage plays.
short stories and novels. Woulc
you like to know how to write one
and present it tor your family ane
friends?
You may purchase a little mi
crophone that can easily be at
tached to your home radio. Di'
rections for connecting it + in
| Guided in the box in which it is
packed. 1t would be best, how
ever, to have a grown-up .helr
you.
When the m%lcrophone is set up,
take it into the next room and
close the door. Though you and
your fellow-actors will be invisible
to the audience gathered before
your radio your voices will come
over the loudspeaker as if they
we're being sent out from a broad
casting station.
But before you can perform,
you must write your play. The
first rule is: make your plot
simple. 1t is much more difficult
for a radio audience to follow the
action of a play than COR a stage
audience. which can use both
sight and hearing: the radio audi
ence has to rely on hearing alone.

No Cure For Police Ills

The measure presented at Raleigh
for revision of the present Civil Ser
vice Commission in New Hanover
County is impracticable.
1t provides that a fire or police de-
partment chief may be employed from
outside the department, but can serve
no longer than a year and one-half. How
will it be possible to secure an expert
enced chief on such a temporary basis ?
What man has command of an eff
ficient police department, for example.
and is secure in his job, would quit to
come to Wilmington, %reorganize the
police department, get it to functioning
and fit it for efficient service, only to
pass out of the picture as soon as the
hard work is done, and hunt employ
ment elsewhere?
The provision that a prospective po-
lice chief must have the edorsement
of J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, is not in.
s~urmountable, but would seem to have
been inserted chiefly further to com
plicate the unsatisfactory police situa-
ton. There are good men, capable in
police work and department admins
t%ration, who have had no experience
in the FBI. AS the Measure now stands
it is to be inferred that a Wilmington
chief must be now or formerly an FBl
agent. At least Mr.. Hoover would be
more familiar with the capability of
men on his own force.
1t is obvious that New Hanover
County's legislative members have Of
fered no long-range cure for Whining
toms police ills.

The personal traits Of your
characters must be brought out as
early as possible. This will help
to keep each character distinct in
the minds of the audience. If your
audience does not know within a
minute or two whether your char
acter is supposed to be young or
) old. slow or quick, calm or
fidgety. your play is not very eff
fectively written.
Dialogue must be unusually
clear and precise. On the stage,
gestures and facial expressions
can often take the place of words.
In radio. words and sound do all
the work.
The dialogue should be natural.
Read each sentence aloud after
you have written it. Ask yourself
whether the character who is
speaking would talk like that in
real life. Don't have your children
talk like adults or your policemen
like school teachers.
Watch your 50 sounds very
closely. because they have a tend
ency to become a hiss on tn air.
Do not let too many So sounds
come together. When a sentence
like She simply sat on Susie's
sofa comes out of the loudspeak-
err. the effect is that of an angry
snake kissing.
In a later article. we shall tell
you more about writing and pre-
senting a radio play.

It is best not to have too many
characters. If you do. the audi.

Very effective radio skits have
been built up around only two
characters; it is seldom advisable
to have more than five.

There are various ways of

most important is to stress the diff

trast sharply, they will all sound
alike. Make one voice drawing,
another %rapid-fire; one harsh. an

The different characters may be

The Greek Crisis

The crisis in Greece has not come
into existence over night. Instead it has
been coming a long time 1t is merely
its arrival in full force that is astonish-
ing-astonishing because it could have
been foreseen for months.
The fact is that Greece is broke. It
cannot maintain it's armed forces with
out paying them and has no none
to pay with. Greece has looked to Brit
ain for succor, and Britain has been
doing well by her too, but cannot give
more because the British are up against
it too.
Britain's effort to keep Greece 90
ing as a free state on the border of
Soviet dominated countries has cost a
pretty penny. We find her expendi-
lures for Greece include S12O, OOO. OOO
Tor the maintenance of the Greek Army
In addition Britain has spent S192, 00O,-
600 for the maintenance of British
troops in Greece. A British mission to
Greece cost the Treasury another 49,
100000. Also Britain waived Greece
1940-41 debt of 1884, 900, 600. All told
Britain has put about half a billion
dollars into the cause of freedom TO,
Greece-the land that gave birth tc
democracy.
Now Britain is scraping the bottom
Of the barrel. There is no more none,
available to give the Athens govern.
ment. The only hope Of saving Greece
as a free country lodges in the United
States. If we fail, the Soviet Union will
add another star to the Moscow crown
and another area in Europe will fal
under the communist spell.
Henry Wallace says we should d.
nothing to help Greece. Probably othe
fellow travellers hold the same view
But if Russia is not to control Europ
1t is evident to all other American
that United States aid to Greece is es

Opening-v

Written for NEA Service
For many years the average
player has felt that when he holds
two tive-card suits, he should bid
the higher ranking suit first. The
expert makes one exception 10
this rule. That is, when holding
five spades and five clubs. it is
preferable to open the auction
with a club and eventually bid the
spades.
BY opening with one club rather
than one spade it is more con
venient to handle partners re.
spouse without crowding the bid
ding.
On today's hand, which was
played at the Winter Carnival
Tournament in St. Paul, Mimi,
North and South very nicely got
to six clubs via an opening n
club bid. When South bid his
spades on the second round, North
knew that South held at least five
clubs POSSIBLY sikh. When South
show ed a heart preference on the
next round, North felt justified in
bidding six clubs, which was
+ easily made.
Although it may appear that the
SIX club contract can be reached
if the opening bid is one space in.
stead of one club. it actually IS
rot easy. II South opens with a
spade, North will bid two Ola
monds, after which South will bid
three clubs. A valuable round cf
bidding has been lost, and it is
very probable that the final con-
tract II a slam is reached, will be
