possible Is carried out precisely as II
would be IN war. Then the names OF
Denver. Seattle. and Birmingham would
be changed to names like Seyastopol.
Moscow. Stalingrad.
AS for their "get home" chances in
case Of war with Russia Gen. LeMay
is highly optimistic. He is planning no
suicide attack in which men and ma
chimes are hurled at their target-and
certain death.
The figures are secret, but Gen. Le-
May is sure all but remarkably small
percentage of his bombers would re-
turn from atom bombing attacks His
command figures the defenders haven't
yet narrowed the margin of advantage
held by offensive attackers.
You wouldn't recognize in these SAC
crews the wild -blue-yonder boys of
few years ago Each crew is carefully
handpicked. and works from that time
on as team. The crew that climbs to
the select list has to fight to stay there.
The competition Is terrific-because
reaching the select list means better
pay, privileges and greater prestige.
The average aircraft commander to-
day is mature 32-year-old. He is
married and has at least one child.
He has been member of SAC crew
for 35 months. He has had nine years
Of service in the Air Force. He has an
average of 80 combat missions either in
World War II or Korea. He. is major
and his monthly pay is about $3.50.
Gen. LeMay gives you the impression
that he walks lonely life in which
there are only few people with whom
he can feel completely at ease. Except
for occasional escapes, he is the pris-
oner Of his work.
He likes to hunt and fish and play
poker. Sometimes he gets away for
three or four days Of hunting or fish,
ing. IT like to throw a line in the
water and then just sit and look
stupid" he said. But there is no real
escape. His Office must know every
move he makes and where he is at all
times of the day and night.
Often he leaves his Office at the end
of a day and goes to the hobby shop
on the base where he is building a
sports car. It has Cadillac engine,
an Oldsmobile transmission, and Ford
parts. When finished, it will be a low
slung. powerful job with streamlined
plastic body.
The general puts on coveralls and
crawls around under the car with the
sergeants. Once while wearing an en-
listed mans coveralls, Gen. LeMay was
puttering with his car. A sergeant
watching the work didn't recognize
him. The sergeant finally said: It's
no wonder you never got any farther
In the Air Force than you did-the way
you handle that wrench

Admitting our ineptitude at the game
Of diplomacy, should we not try to be
guided by the most expert nation in
that particular field and emulate it?
England long since has recognized the
new government of China, making it
a de jure government among the family
Of nations incidentally, and wisely is
preparing to resume trade relations to
the mutual benefit of both countries.
To the contrary, we have maintained
an attitude of belligerency toward the
new nation, have violated her terri
torial waters, and continue to support
her deposed leader on remote island
which historically has been considered
a geographical component.

One Of the hottest" clubs in major
league baseball history-the Cleveland In
dianS- -clinched a championship pennant
during the week end. And when they did
it they ended record-making string of
five consecutive American League and World
Series titles for the proud and powerful
New York Yankees. In fact, so accustomed
had the baseball world become to Yankee
supremacy that the prospect of their losing
has drawn more attention at times than
that Of the Indians winning.
It is clear enough in the league stand
ings, however, that more than an ordinarily
competent and confident team of ball
players has proved its "class" in Cleveland
and may yet set a new league record for
winning percentage. The present one, made
by the fearsome Yankees ofy1927, is 110 vic
tories to A defeats for percentage Of TIA.
Today the Indians started at 108 VS.. 40
with six games left to play.
It is worthy Of note, also that these
Indians haven't won their pennant in
year when the Yankees were markedly
below their usual par. For the club directed
by the conversationally colorful Charles
Dillon Stengel will be ending the 1854 season
with a higher percentage than in any Of
The only trouble" with the Yankees this
year has been that the Indians, smarting
under the charge that they always folded
up in the stretch, were just too good.
After giving the two top clubs their due,
however, a look at the rest Of the American
League provides little cause for enthusiasm
by sports fans or for satisfaction by club
owners. The Chicago White Sox made q
respectable bid, as they have for several
years past, but the i've other teams never
really figured. The same division has pre-
vailed too long. BY contrast, although the
National League race finally settled down to
a three-team affair also, there is greater
balance in the circuit and more surprise in
the results The swashbuckling New York
Giants, looking like the winners now, were
given only an outside chance In the pre-
season speculation. And most OF the other
clubs have had streaks Of being hard to
handle, In contrast with the sorry showing
Of some Of the American League tailenders
against the ton LEANS In their circuit. u

Northwest RedeveIopment

Slum clearance and redevelopment Of
q broader nature than ever has been tried
here before will be undertaken in North
west Washingtons counterpart Of the
blighted Southwest section Whereas the
plans tentatively made for major face
lifting operation in the Southwest rely
chiefly on raze- -and-rebuild policy ap-
proved by Congress, the Northwest reha-
bilitation program will include repair,
renovation and other improvements to rum
down buildings-in addition to outright
slum clearance. It will be the first project
under the amplified housing law recently
passed by Congress.
Because of the wider aspect of the new
authorization, the National Capital Plan
ming Commission wisely has decided to
expand greatly the area originally desig-
mated for redevelopment in the crime
ridden second precinct area. The "urban
renewal" survey in the Northwest now will
cover approximately 800 acres in the old
part Of the city lying generally from
Fourteenth street to Union Station and
from U street and Florida avenue to X
street and Massachusetts, avenue. This
section of the city long has been marked
in red on the Districts crime map
Under the new program this urban sore
spot will be attacked along several lines.
The worst houses and. hangouts will be
torn down and replaced with new housing.
Neighborhoods which the survey shows can
be rehabilitated will be excepted from the
demolition plans. In such areas there will
be rigid enforcement of housing and health
regulations, backed by strengthened in
spection- reinforcement law. All agen-
cies of the District Government concerned
with public housing, sanitation and health
will be brought to bear on the problem.
OF course, all Of the changes to be
wrought in the Northwest are for future
execution. The survey itself will take a
good deal of time. There must be con-
sultation and agreement among number
Of authorities, including the Federal Gov
ernment Southwest redevelopment has
been slow-moving, in fact is still in the
planning stage. It has priority. But at
least start has been made toward the ulti-
mate goal of a restored and beautified
Northwest blight area-one of which citi-
zens no longer need be ashamed.

Growing Iceberg Lettuce?

World tension should be eased materi-
ally by one disclosure from Moscow few
days ago. It seems that while American
Arctic explorations are being inspired by
military ends" the opposite activities Of
Russian expeditions in the North Pole area
are being concentrated on the cultivation
of lettuce and radishes. 4 front-page dis
patch in Komsomol Pravda, Communist
Youth League publication, from North Pole
Station Three" makes this fascinating reve-
lation. And since Station Three is on an Ice
noe, the Russians -"agrarian reformers,"
perhaps-took along their own seed boxes
with soil from the Soviet Union.

Dr.. SoIon Buck Retires

DR.. Solon j. Buck really has retired
from his position as. Assistant Librarian at
the Library of Congress. At least, that is
what the telephone operator at Sterling
3-0400 tells people calling him. He really
seems to have gone away-for while. But
mere date on the calendar cannot put
period to such career as he has had. The
fact that he has attained the statutory dis
continuance age Of 70 years does not mean
that he is discontinuing his lifetime voca-
ton Of scholarly research.
His country goes on it's annals go on,
and SO DR.. Buck goes on. There still is work
for him to do. Only Schoolboy of is at
the moment when he made the great deci-
sion which still governs his activities
namely, the choice Of history as his profes-
sion-he achieved all the imperative uuaI-
1cations Of an annalist's place ir1gtthes
American community by 1911, when he was
27. Thereafter he taught at the Universities
of Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota and Pitts
burgh. Coincidentally, he dug for data,
compiled, edited, wrote, aided in the making
of history as we'll as in the recording and
interpreting of it. He was 81 when he came
to Washington to join the staff Of the Ma
tional Archives, 81 when he was appointed
Archivist Of the United States, "a when he
moved to the Library Of Congress.
But here again calendar has no COM
pelling influence upon personality to
whom time has only relative value, depend
ing upon how it is spent. DR.. Buck learned
long ago that minutes and hours, weeks and
months may be managed effectively. His
oficial retirement releases him to be his,
own master to an extent and degree hither-
to infeasible. With the enthusiastic collabo-
ration Of his wife, he will be just assbusy as
ever with the labors that he loves.

Shallofie Red & White Store
To Open Doors F Friday Morning

The first of many Red and
White Super Markets comes to
North Carolina with the opening
of Lewis Red and White Store in
Shallotte Friday morning.
Red and White is the largest
independently operated grocery
chain in the United States and is
currently operating in As States.
However, until the opening of
Lewis on Friday, North Carolina
has not been part of this huge
chains operation.
Several months ago, Red and
White began its operations in
South Carolina and has been
spectacularly successful in the
coastal area. Carolina Wholesale
Company of Conway is the dis
tributor of Red and White products
and the super market chain oper-
ates through them.
In Loris, Myrtle Beach, Crescent
Beach, Johnsonville, and other
places, the grand openings of tn
Red and White super markets
have drawn huge throngs of peo-
pie. Door prizes have been offered
in every community on the OPEN
ing days, as they will be at Lewis
in Shallotte
The grand door prize at Lewis
is a giant 81 inch television sets.
Many baskets of groceries will
also be given to lucky persons at
tending the opening event.
No stones have been left I'M
turned TO make this a really gala
opening affair and Brunswick
citizens are being invited to turn
out in large numbers to see just
what this new grocery chain has
to offer.
Although North Carolina to date
has had no Red and White stores,
such firms are now in the plan
ming stage for several communities
in Columbus and Brunswick coun-
ties.
These stores are independently
operated but have the advantage
of quantity buying.

irrigation Show
Draws Big Crowd

Over one hundred farmers at
tended an irrigation equipment
display at the Dan Crosby farm
near Green Sea Thursday after
noon. This display was sponsored
b ythe Green Sea Agriculture
teachers and the Horny Soil Con-
servation District supervisors. II
followed a series of meetings in
the Green Sea area on irrigation.
Such a display afforded the at
tending farmers an opportunity to
see under actual field operating
conditions the various types of
irrigation equipment.
The following dealers partici-
pated in. this event: Planters, Inc,
Conway; Van Lott, Inc, West Co
lumbia, S. c.; Johnson Cotton
Company, Conway; Mccoy Rose,
Marion, S. c.; Twin States Irriga-
ton Company. Joe Blount, Repre-
sentative, Loris, S. c.
Each dealer was given an allot-
ted time to explain some of the
details of his equipment which he
followed with the actual operation
of systems that he had set up. In
summing up the thinking of the
dealers and the group as a whole,
these important facts should be
emphasized and remembered if
one is interested in irrigation: %
Adequate water supply-a must.
1t takes approximately $4,000 gall
Ions of water to put one inch of
water on one acre. Try to have a
surplus of water. (2) Have your
system properly designed, one to
meet your individual needs, one
that is most economical. (3) In
stall your system before you need
it-don't wait until the crop has
burned up-make preparations
now for irrigating next summer.
(4) Apply the right amount of
water at the proper time. If you
wet the crop, wet it-don't tease
it. Some soil will absorb water
faster than other soils. Know this,
and put down only enough water
as the soil will take up. (5) Ferti-
lie well. (6) Don't neglect other
good cultural and farming prac-
tices-irrigation is no cure-all, it
is just another good farming prac-
tice. CD Adjust your farming
methods for efficient Use of irri-
cation, such as teaming labor, re-
arranging rows, and preparing to
more lateral lines.
The dealers stressed the import
ance of water supply and having
an irrigation system designed to
meet your individual needs. These
two most important things can be
best handled by contracting your
