PRESIDENT DECLARES AN EMERGENCY

SINCES ATURDAY morning, following President Tru-
mans declaration, the nation has been under a state Of ma
tional emergency. Such a declaration had been expected for
some time, especially since major reverses in Korea, and the
mwillingness Of the Peiping Government to even show any
desire to negotiate. With production moving along at a nor
NAL pace, it was felt by many responsible national leaders
that the time had come to step up this production, and to re-
duce the flow of civilian goods, substituting military goods.
The President said in no uncertain terms that this change
would come about, and within a very short time.
AS A MATTER of fact a national emergency did exist,
in fact it existed before the declaration by the President. The
United States is really in a state of war-a war for survival.
No longer can it be said that diplomats at the United Nations
are working to avert a crisis. That time has long passed. What
has happened is that the nation faces a war of survival. 1t is
now or never, as the grave problem of surrendering absolute
freedom to communism looms large.
THE DECLARED national emergency will hit the Is
lands hard. Because we depend upon imports for most of our
commodities we must now draw in the belt. AS American in
dustry turns from civilian to military production, less and less
of what we need will come. to the Islands. 1t is therefore ne
cessary for us to devise plans to meet this crisis; to hold what
we have, and to gear our local economy to suit the emergency.
One step that can be taken is the production OF food for local
consumption. During the last war it will be recalled that the
arrival of a ship with food was a most welcome sight. This
time, we have a slight jump on the problem, and with this
breather should come careful plans to sustain ourselves for
longer periods. 1t can be done, but we must start now, and
about plans must be made.
THIS NATIONAL emergency is very much ours, be-
cause we are a part of the national scene. We must be ready
to make our contribution by being ready to fight for the free
dom which has always filled the air here. We must be ready
to draw in. the belts, and take the same active part we took
everyone h o p e that it does not, but the best to avoid
in the last war. An actual shooting war has not yet come, and
such a war is to be prepared to the teeth, for it is a proven
fact that dictators understand only the language of equal
force. The presence of a strong military force is the only ef-

fective deterrent to the propo-
nents of totalitarianism. Such
a force, more than anything
else, can prevent a Shooting

Honey WaSnS

Few of us ever think of wasps
other than hot-tempered, single
minded workers in paper or mud.
However, in Brownsville, Texas,
there are large colonies of waSps
which make a delicious honey much
coveted by the Mexicans and others
familiar with the flavor.
These bees came from Mexico
where they are known as Mexican
Bees. The honey bee is not native
American, but from the Old World.
1t was unknown in the Americas
until the European colonists intro
duced it. Through the centuries 1t
was the honey wasp which provided
the pre-Columbian Indians and
Mexicans with the beloved sweet.
Viewed from the outside, the
paper nest of the honey wasps re-
sembleS to a great extent that of
the northern yellow jackets. How
ever, the interior architecture is
radically different. Instead of a
series of horizontal combs that hang
chandelier like, one below the other
with pilar-like supports between,
the home nest of Nectarina consists
of more or less spherical combs that
are attached directly or indirectly
to the envelope"
Nests are built in low trees or
bushes surrounded by branches and
foliage which do not conceal it. A
populated nest is usually draped
with black mantle of wasps.
Though honey wasps are armed

with stilletos they do not attack
When an investigator rocks the
paper palace, an angry hum is set
up but no counter-attack. A per-
son coming in close contact with
the armed one is given rapie1
thrust of the needle. Pain ano
swelling is vivid reminder that
honey wasps do carry filled hypo-
dermic needle. There is no record
that the needle puncher dies after
parting with her weapon as dc
honey bees.
No queen presides over the colony
Most of the females have egg-laying
ability. They are distinguished from
the workers by larger size and a
more telescoped abdomen.
Usually one male is present to Is
females. Males always make their
appearance during the second halt
of the prosperous season.
Unlike the colonies of our yellow
jackets which dissolve with the ap-
proach of cold weather, the colonies
of honey wasps occupy their nests
perennially. BY spring the nest will
have a decided odor of honey cling
ing to it, but not a drop in it.
The name of Nectarina was given
them by the Indians of Brazil. The
name Of the species, lecheguana, is
rarely used.
When an unexpected frost or cold
snap occurs, the females make q
straight flight home where they
secrete themselves head foremost in
the cells leaving their abdomen pro-
jecting to the breeze.

People Are Funny.

Some of our best writers unwit-
tingly create monsters more fantas-
tic than Frankenstein's This is the
result of placing modifiers in the
wrong part of the sentence so that
the reader connects the modif1eI
with the wrong member.
For example, from popular text
book:
Bad: The storm broke just as we
reached the shore with great vio-
lence.
Improved: Just as we reached the
shore, the storm broke with great
violence.
Modifiers that mortify seem to
escape the keen eyes of even the
best proofreaders, for witness the
queer people that are suggested by
the following gleanings from various
reputable publications:
Saturday Evening Post: Together
they barged through the red-striped
ticketseller's BOOTH" OF course, 1t
was the booth, and not the ticket
seller that had red stripes.

From the real-estate page of a

realtor, that will be their future

An AP dispatch from Korea: "He

secret weapons much too far.
A recent story in Golfers presents
one of the oldest shaped and queer

"She was wearing slacks rolled up
halfway to the knee and a dirty
white sweat shirt" Small wonder
that, to the hero, "she seemed to

And I have witness to the fact
that, on a recent broadcast, a COM

about "a sergeant with black circles
under his eyes named Jim Ander-
SON."
He failed to mention the sergeants IS
name, and we've been wondering

Some plays at the card table are

leading a suit Of which declarer and
dummy are both void is strictly
anathema, inasmuch as declarer
may ruff in one hand and discard
a loser in the other. Yet, upon oc-
casion such a defensive play may
be proper If you are sure that only
one discard will do declarer no
good, or, as in today's hand, where
you have special purpose to ac-
complish.
Today's bidding was quite normal.
North had a close bid of two hearts
after Vests overcall of two dia-
mondS, but it was the only course
open to him. He had too much to
pass, and a simple raise of his part
ner'S suit could not be made be-
cause his trump support was not
adequate. After South's jump rebid
the raise to game was routine.
West led the king and queen of
diamonds, and, when East echoed,
he continued with the ace.. East
discarded the two of hearts. It
was up to West to make the lead
that would win or lose the hand.
That no heart trick was available
to the defense became evident from
partners discard of the deuce. That
the ace of clubs was In declarer's
hand there could be no doubt, both
from the jump bid and the fact that
East did not signal wildly for g.
club lead. There appeared, there
fore, only one hope and that was
Tor a trump trick to develop. If
East held the jack of spades, ma
ture would provide the trick. But
there was another way. If East
held the seven of spades, a high
enough trump could be forced from
declarers hand to build up a trick
for West.
So West led the three of dia-
monds, dummy took a discard and
East trumped with the seven of
spades. Declarer naturally over
ruffed and could not prevent the
subsequent loss of trump trick.
This type of defense play in trumps
has come to be known as "the
uppercut."

Columbus NAACP
Seek Local FEPC

COLUMBUS, Ohio The new
NAACP officers installed in office
last week in Columbus have open
ed up a two-fisted drive against
racial discrimination. John A.. Pull
ms, 1850 NAACP president, stated
that one of the "first items on
the local chapters agenda is a
strong local and state Fair En-
ployment Practices law"
Also listed for strong opposition
is the Jim Crow housing and the
lily-white American Bowling Con-
gress tourney. Great emphasis will
be placed on the unemployment
situation among Negroes in Col
umbus.
Statistics show that while Ne
groes comprise only $40 of the
population here, they are 1870
of the unemployed. These statis--
tics, incidentally are comparable
in Dayton.

The letter explains how Senator
Robert A. Taft will ask voters 10
vote for him next November. If
he can win the election he will be
a strong candidate for President
in 1852. $50 he wants very badly
to win. He needs every vote he
can get"
The letter goes on: "Well you
want something badly, too. You
want a strong FEPC bill passed in
the Senate. Senator Taft does not
want a strong FEPC bill passed."
It is pointed out that Senator
Taft wants a bill with no enforce
ment powers. An FEPC commits
sion of Taft's would do nothing
more than tell us what we already
know, that Jim Crow exists.
"Write to Senator Taft and
tell him you want a strong FEPC
bill, not a weak one. Tell him you
want the Senate to pass S.1728,
The McGrath bill. Tell him that
Cleveland tried a weak voluntary
FEPC without teeth and found
that it was no good, so Cleveland
passed a strong ordinance with
enforcement powers"

Drive

The Westside Republicans voted
unanimously in their executive
committee meeting this week to
follow through with plans for a
non-partisan registration drive in
the sixth and seventh wards. The
goal is to register every eligible
voter for the May primary.
The committee pointed out the
fact that registration should take
precedence over all other activities
in the two wards. Political organ
izations, religious and civic organ
izations should join in the united
effort to get a large registration.
In carrying out this drive the
club is joining with the Daily
EXPRESS, ministers, fraternal or

The Republican club calls on

are in a strong position. Use your
strength. If you can get Senator
Taft to withdraw his weak bill
you may have struck the decisive
blow that will spell victory in the
long fight for a real FEPC bill"
Political experts support the
contention of the NAACP that
Ohio people are in a very strategic
position with regards to FEPC.
