ADDING TO THE POPULATION

Pictures of 1948s population growth are becoming available With near record of births and the lowest death rate in history plus considerable mmlgratlon the increase the nations population was close to 25O0000. Births totaled more than 3oooooo secoho only to the record year of l947 The excess or pths over deaths was approximately 2,2oo0oo
 Other vital statistics compiled by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company show that accidental deaths declined slightly in 1948 There was a sharp drop in deaths n catastrophes. Home and motor vehicle accidents showed little improvement, if any. But in the case of the latter there was ray of hope-in relation to mileage the motor vehicle mortality prob- ably was the lowest ever experienced

Close the Gap
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The most imperative heed of humanity today is the speeding up of the research and diffusion of knowledge among the fields of mental hygiene and the sciences that deal with the relations of man in society So said Dr. Charles Emory Winslow, pro- lessor of public health at Yale University in an ad- dress at the Cooper Union Forum in New York City
 No one wants to check the growth of the physical sciences but the future of mankind will depend on the success he achieves in catching with the de- velopment in the physical, chemical and conventional medical sciences, in the psychological and social sciences
 Dr. Winslow urges that efforts be made to close the gap the progress of these other sciences before it is too late For if the atomic bomb were to be released as method of ndiscrimnate warfare, there could be no public health or private health Such ndiscriminate of the destructive power of the atomic bomb in warfare would tend to destroy modern civilization and send back to the caves
 But if atomic energy is properly controlled and public and national conscences are built up to a proper level to cope with such problems, atomic power could become a boon of first importance to civilization.

AMAZING STORY

Part of this amazing story be- gan to see the light of day when a suit was filed by William Phil lips. brother of Mayor Earl Phil lips of High Point, N. o., to col lect ss36, ,880.30 from the Strickland Furniture Company as commls- sicn on a Sl,500,o0o army contract by which the Strickland company made bureaus for the Army.
 Strickland, who admits owing the commission, states that actually 1t is owed not to Bill Phillips but to his brother Earl. the mayor of Hieh Point, and to ex-Congress- man Frank Hancock who helped get the Army contract.
 Congressman Hancock, whe1 uueried by telephone, admitted that he had called on Secretary of the Army Royall in Washington to discuss the furniture contract awarded the Strickland Furniture Company. It developed that he had left Strickland sitting in Roy all's outer office and gone in to talk to the Secretary of the Army alone.
 Later Hancock wrote the draft of a proposed letter which was to be sent to Secretary for Air Stuart Symington in order to get other Army business. The first paragraph of-the letter read:
 Agreeable with the suggestion made to me and MT. Frank Han cock, cur attorney, during cur brief conference in your office as a re- suit of appointment made by Gen Royal, we are writing, etc, etc.
 Later, however, Strickland, the furniture manufacturer, broke with Hancock the ex-Congressman frcm North Carolina. And after that he got no more Army business He was low bidded on an order for Army foot lockers just recently But the Army rejected his bid and asked for new bids-after publiciz- inc to other bidders what Strick- lands low bid was.

EISENHOWER CALLED BACK
 TO SERVICE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-lR- The United States called Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower back into service today to help answer some rave questions of future military 1olicy.
 The Wartime Supreme Allied Commander was named by the White House Friday to serve as hartman of the Joint Chiefs of 5taff-a group which includes the op military men of the Army, Navy and Air Force, as well as he chief of staff to the President.
 Eisenhower is on leave from his cb as president of Columbia Uni ersity. In his new post, officials aid, he undoubtedly will be called n to act as peacemaker between he Air Force and Navy, which ave frequently clashed over the ole each would play in aerial warfare.
 Meanwhile, as principal military dvisor of President Truman and secretary of Defense Forrestal, he ill have an important part in de- iding such vital defense questions $ there:
 1. Should the United States oncentrate it's defense planning n the Atlantic European area, .eaving Pacific defence in a sec mary spot?
 2. How much of it's arms can his country spare to bulwark its lilies in Western Europe and else where.

played favorites and were much too lenient with political cronies. Also it is evident that they were lax in permitting unnecessary lobbying fees to be paid out in connectior Tith government contracts.
 For it YVES officially registered with the REC, and matter of eublic record, that both Hancock and William Phillips had stand by agreement whereby the REC recc2 2nized these two debts.
 That brings up another impor- tant and unsavory chaper in the stcry-the story of the run-around given small Business when it seeks government help with no political friends or lobbyists at court.
 Kenneth Strickland was building a streamlined new furniture plant at High Point, N. Gone of the most modern in the state. And in l946 he tried repeatedly to obtain an REC loan. His lean was recom- mended for approval by the district REC representative, John Camp bell, at Charlotte.
 Furthermore, Strickland had al- ways repaid previous REC loans ahead of schedule, as admitted by REC director Harvey Gunderson to this column.
 Despite this, however, Washing ten turned him down.
 Finally, Strickland was told that he should see eX-Congressman Frank Hancock of Oxford, N. O., member of the subcommittee which wrote the REC Act and whose brcther-i n-law, Ernest How ard, also from Oxford, N. C., was the key man inside the REC re- garding the approval of loans. Strickland did so.
 In a sworn affidavit, Strickland state On approximately Jan. 5, l947, with check No. 3817 in the amount of $1,C00, we met MT Han cock at his office. Upon receiving the check, MT. Hancock informed us there was another S1,ooO due immediately and we offered to send it within the next two days, which we did as evidenced by check Nc. 3286 for another Sl,OO0.
 Hancock indicated he had pre- i viously checked on our case and found that his brother Jaw, | Ernest Howard, was not sold on our situation, but that MT Howard was in town at the moment and 1 he would try to get him over im- lnediately for a conference. A few minutes later this was accomplish ed, and thirty minutes later we were on our way back to High Point"
 ! Hanccck's word was magic and three weeks later, Strickland's loan for S325,000 came through. 1 Hancock collected an additional fee of s4,00o after the loan was granted, making a total of S6,000 Following this, according to Strick- land, he kept demanding additional fees, until total of Sl2,086 04 was paid.
 1 It was after Strickland discon- tinued fees to Hancock that hs failed to get his second contract from the Army-even though ht was low bidder.
