MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1944 Our Chief Aim To aid in every way the prosecution of the war to complete Victory. TOP OF THE MORNING Monday always seems to bring Chances that are new and fine: It’s a day on which to cling To high purposes and swing Strong and bravely into line. —E. S. KISER -V One Way To Save Paper Every now and then articles appear in Am erican newspapers to the effect that larger quantities of newsprint may soon be forthcom ing, but publishers must print them with tongue in cheek, for all they get is additional curtailed allotments of paper. Literally there is no assurance of larger newsprint supplies for the duration. mere could be more paper even now, how ever, if the government were not so wasteful. Looking over the daily mail at any office or plant will reveal that the bulk of nonessential mail matter comes from the Washington bur eaus in the form of directives, confusing and contradictory bulletins, or propaganda for this or that pet scheme of the bureaucrats. While reducing newsprint for publishers, the govern ment does little or nothing to stop its own waste, and no protests against the practice has any effect. It might be halted, or at least reduced, if the franking privilege were withdrawn. All this welter of postal matter the government dis tributes is moved without stamps. If the bur eaucrats had to pay postage at regular rates and give an accounting for the money thus used their outgoing mail would represent ounces instead of tons. Postage would take up so much of their appropriations they might everf be hard pressed to find money for their own salaries. Trainloads of paper would be saved. The saving, of course, would not meet the normal demands of newspaper publishers, but would go part of the way. One of the chief faults of the bureaucrats is their fixed habit of telling the American people to be saving, and doing the opposite themselves. -V Camp Well Named Being a Brigade Boys’ Club project, long contemplated and finally nearing completion, it is particularly appropriate that the summer camp ‘‘up on the sound” should bear the club’s name, rather than be named for any individual however closely he may have been identified with Brigade in the past. ‘‘Th Brigade Boys Club Camp” identifies the project unmistakably with the organization of which it is a unit. The decision so to name it was well taken. The camp itself, which will be ready for operation in the coming summer, represents tuc A uiiiiiiii'.ii v ui. a uiuoiu luat uxigavtc icau* ers have long cherished. Outings for Brigade boys are not new. Until the war interrupted the practice, members were given brief va cations at the shore, but always in borrowed or rented quarters in more or less crowded localities. Now the youngsters, who by the way, have had a hand in clearing the land and erecting the buildings, will be domiciled on the Bri gade’s own site, with plenty of room for all manner of sports and recreation, with an un rivaled “swimming hole,” mess hall, sleep ing quarters and everything that boys most covet in the country. Much of the material has been the gift of sympathetic Wilmington ians, the. bulk of the work has been volun tary, the land itself is virtually a gift. Consid erable money for the things that had to be bought has been raised by the boys themselves through waste paper, tin and metal salvage collections. Some cash, too, has been given outright. Whatever hint there is in this for other gifts—for the project is not yet fully financed —is all wool, and a yard wide. -V “Wolf” To anyone who doubts that both the term “wolf” and its connotation have become a part of our national life, we commend a read ing of the New York Law Journal for Jan. 31. This publication is one of the most arid and austere of trade papers. It holds itself alooi from the broils of daily life, except as ttiej might happen to come, by due legal process, within the sphere of the New York bar. Its lead story is likely to be a decision of the Court of Appeals, in all its fascinating invo lutions. Its pages contain column after col i umn of cases pending, being tried, or recent ly decided. In short, the New York Law Journal is the last place in the world in which you might expect the wolf to show his leering counte nance. Yet, on Jan. 31, the Law Journal devot ed two full columns to an editorial titled "Is the Term ‘Wolf’ Libelous?” The editorial writer went about his task with typical legalistic thoroughness. First he asked himself, “What precisely is a wolf?” The 45 volumes of “Words and Phrases Ju dicially Defined” failed to yield up an answer in all their 45,000 pages. , Then he consulted the dictionary, which told him *hat “wolf” could be “any ravenous, cruel or rapacious per»on or thing.” But in the Bible he found Isaiah mentioning some thing about the wolf dwelling in peace with the lamb. Confused by this clash of definitions, the editorial writer consulted his friends. A re cent debutante scoffed at the idea of libel. She told him that the male “wolf” was as necessary to social gaiety as the female “gold digger,” and not half as dangerous. A former Belle of the Nineties, however, defined “wolf” as “a man with unscrupulous designs on un sophisticated girls.” (Fortunately, perhaps, he did not come upon the cynical and uncompromising miss who is on record with the simple statement that “A wolf is a man.”) Still groping, the Law Journal's man turn ed to the pages of English and American legal decisions. And here he found that calling a man a dog is not libel—Socrates having said that the more he saw of some men the more he liked his dog—but that it had been libelous to call a man a skunk, a hog, a frozen snake or an itchy old toad. Taking due account of precedent, the Law Journal accordingly decided that “wolf” is probably not a libelous appellation, unless spoken with malicious intent to injure. To this definitive and comforting opinion, we can only add our guess that, however malicious the intent, the accusation is seldom resented. There may be a pretense of offend ed denials. But show us the gay dog (a non libelous term) who, when someone cries “wolf” at him, will not smirk a bit and, surrepti tiously, straighten his tie and set his hat at a jauntier angle. -v No Anonymous Letters A letter has come to this newspaper which calls the article recently published in its col umn telling of the use by a contingent of our fighting forces of a Confederate flag as its in dividual emblem ‘‘a disgrace to all of us.” It is not explained whether the disgrace lies in use of the flag or our publishing the fact. But let that go. The only part of the letter which Interests us is the postscript which says: "I bet you won’t print this.” This writer is correct. We will not print the letter, but not for the rea son he obviously entertains. It will not be printed because the writer signed it ’'Loyal American,” and withheld his, or her, name. Anonymous letters arc not accepted for pub lication. They are especially objectionably when composed in controversial language. It is our position that anyone who wishes to argue a matte should be willing to do so by name and not hide behind a ficticious signa ture. --V Buy E Bonds It seems quite likely that Wilmington and News Hanover county will reach their goal in 1 the fourth war bond campaign. But it is also clear that the purchase of Series E bonds will fall far below the assigned quota and that the deficiency in this series will have to be made up by the other series offered by the treasury. If this community is to maintain its excep tional record, established in previous bond campaigns, it necessary for persons of moderate means and average salaries to buy Series E bonds in the short time remain ing for the drive. E bonds are the easiest of all to finance. They offer exceptional re turns to the holder. Twenty-five dollar bonds cost only $18.50 and may be had on the in stallment plan by payroll deductions. There is no such bargain to be had in any other field of investment. We are expected to purchase above a million dollars worth more than we have since the campaign started last month. We’ll be miss ing a main chance if we fail to do so. -V Soldier Vote Law Congress can find an excellent example of how not to write a soldier-vote law in a set of instructions issued by the Army this week. The instructions cover the ways and means for qualified service men and women to vote in the April primaries in Pennsylvania, Illin ois and Nebraska, and the April general election in Louisiana. There is nothing really wrong with these ways and means except that they were de signed for peacetime use, and the changes have been few and inadequate. The present ab sentee system will proljably work all right for soldiers in this country. But for those over seas the whole rigmarole will likely prove to be a pain in the neck, and the result may be that many of these very distant absentees just won’t take the trouble. The Army has instructed commanding offi cers to call the attention of soldiers from these four states to the coming primaries and elec tion, and {las provided postage-free applica tion postcards for ballots. All this is to the good. But a lot of the soldier-voters »will find that their troubles have started even before the postcard stage. Many youngsters in uniform will be voting for the first time. Others may be uncertain of their state’s voting regulations. And if they have any doubts, they must write to their secretary of state and find out if they have to register, pay a tax, or fulfill some other requirements. Nebraskans will have an added chore. They must write to their secretary of state or an appropriate local official for a special appli cation form. This is sent to them and must be filled out and returned before the ballot can even start on its way. This procedure must also be followed in Pennsylvania if the hope ful voter prefers a regular absentee ballot to an “official war” form. Of the four states in question, Nebraska, Louisiana and Illinois allow less than 30 days from the time the state mails the absentee ballot until the voter is required to mail it back. In this connection, the Army suggests that “it is not desirable to burden overseas air mail with applications for ballots in cases where the time interval is manifestly too short to accomplish receipt, execution and return of the ballot.” In other words, it is likely that in some in stances there will not be time to vote at all. How to avoid this delay and red tape is Congress’ job. Whether a federal or a “states right” voting system, or a modification of either, is finally decided upon, the lawmakers have an obligation to map out a plan in which the exercise of franchise won’t be such ex hausting exercise that the soldier has no strength left to mark the ballot. Wire Tapping By JACK STINNETT WASHINGTON—There is one factor in war time Washington which is very little touched upon — the suspicion with which every one regards every one else. It's a delicate mat ter but a very real one which has affected our war effort for good and bad. A few months ago, I wrote in this column that there was more wire-tapping in Washing ton today than ever before in spite of the fact that there are laws governing wire-tap ping (which consists both of listening in on telephone conservations and making automa tic recordings of them). There was no denial and well there wasn’t because it came from an agency of our government best in a posi tion to know. r» 1 AT T 1 ... £ 1 l _ i.___1.1. UlUVV lllVilj X HM * V XWU‘^\X MXUk UVWilUgi records of telephone conservations, personal interviews, and even so-called “off-the-rec jrd” conferences are more the rule than the exception. I have even heard of one instance (it may be true or false but it isn’t in the east far-fetched) in which one government sfficral has a secretary accompany him to ill social functions, to note down every howdy io”, how-are-you” and the answers there-to— ust in case some one tries to trip him up )n a slip of the tongue or an unintentional nnuendo. * * * It’s a sad state of affairs—one that on first examination seems to be more naturally a 'ester on the cancer of fascism than on the lealthy growth of a democracy—but on sec 3nd glance I’m not so sure. In the first place, none of this suspicious loublechecking is done with any idea of catch ng spies. For the most part, that is left up ;o the FBI, Secret Service, and a few now minor Congressional committees and govern ment agencies. Why then, you may well ask, is there any iustification for all this suspicion in the na ;ion’s capital? The answer is to keep the un scrupulous, the overly-ambitious, the “lust :or-power-and-money” boys from taking over he war effort. Some of them are a very real hreat and no figment of the fiction-writers’ maginations. If WPB Chief Donald Nelson hadn’t beaten >ff the wolves that tried to get hold of the Var Production Board, our war effort might veil have been another story. If his Deputy Chief Charles E. Wilson could have been run )ut of town by some of the men who wanted ,o take over, there might have been a pro iuction bottleneck at the very peak of the var effort. * ♦ * I uge these names only because I have no dea what methods they used to keep jobs sought by the unscrupulous, but in view of heir records their sincerity can hardly be loubted. If they had stenographic or even iictaphone records of conservations made of nterviews with persons who they had reason ;o believe might misquote them, they were mly employing a method highly approved sy modern crime detection. I don’t think that either Nelson or Wilson lad to use these much criticized systems, rheir fights were too much in the open. But )ther government officials have used them snd the only question is whether they were ustified in fighting fire with fire or were merely trying to hide their own inefficiencies 3y using a very dangerous extinguisher. Still, I think that it’s a pretty sad com mentarv on a democracy that’s going all-out 'or the war effort that there has to be so nuch suspicion around the national capital. -V BARBS It’s too late to learn when you think you know it all! * * * “Radio Song Helps Sick Boy” — headline. We’ve heard some that would get anybody out of bed. * * * Now they’re planning to use pigskin leather in civilian shoes. ’Twill be a novelty to have your dogs squeal instead of bark. * * * If sweet 16 doesn’t become sweet 60 it isn’t the fault of the drug stores and beauty parlors. * * * What difference would it make if oleo were colored?

Peppered by the Allies. The only objection to the advance touch of spring around the country is that it’s a re minder of house cleaning time. * * * Fault is one of the easiest things to find and yet too many people keep on looking for it. a “SECOND FRONT” THE AXIS HOPED TO WIN ON! •k FOR \ FRANCO With Ernie Pyle | By ERNIE PYLE IN ITALY. — (By Wireless) — Here’s that man again, for better or for worse. It’s a good thing the winning of the war doesn’t depend on me. If my business were shooting Ger mans, I’d never get the trigger pulled for sneezing. Each zero hour would have to be postponed until I found my liniment and hot water bottle. I am the chief depository over seas ef the common American cold. One cold at a time is not good enough for me, nor even two. In the past five weeks I’ve piled three colds one on top of the other. The main trouble is that I’m allergic to the remedies that ben efit other people. Things work backwards on me. Any doctor who takes my case is lost before he starts. Codeine and aspirin make me much worse. Sleeping tablets keep me awake. Stimulating doses put me to sleep. It’s been proved that 'I cannot take vitamins. Tonics de stroy my appetitie. Cough syrup throws me into convulsions of whooping. I would suggest that an efficient hanging from the nearest olive tree is my only panacea. Please try to forgive me for this recent absenteeism, and I pray that it doesn’t happen too often. I don’t want you to find out how well the war can get along without me. Late though it is, I can’t pass back to the war without a last word for Ray Clapper, who went to his death in the Pacific. His passing hit us hard over here. He had many friends in the war theater, as he had in the others. He traveled to all the wars be cause he felt it his duty to inform himself, and everywhere he went he was liked for himself and re spected for his fine mind. We had known each other for twenty years. He was always gen erous and thoughtful of me. Time and again he went out of his way to do little things that would help me, and to say nice things about me in his column, and I cannot re member that I ever did one thing for him. Those accusing regrets come when it is too late. War correspondents try not to think of how high their ratio of casualties has been in this war. At least they try not to think of it in terms of themselves, but Ray Clapper’s death sort of set us back on our heels. Somehow it always seemed impossible that anything could ever hap en to him. It made us wonder who is next. When the Stars and Stripes an nounced Ray Clapper’s death, I think the most frequent comment in this area was one that would; have made Ray proud. They said: ‘‘The old story again. It’s always the best ones that get it.” Here is our final report on that bottle of Coca-Cola that was raf fled off last month in a field-artil lery brigade on the Italian front. It all started in November when a former member of this brigade, now back in the States — Pfc. Frederick Williams of Daytona Beach, Fla.—sent two bottles of coke to two of his buddies still over here — Corp. Victor Glover of Daytona Beach and Serg. Woodrow Daniels of Jacksonville, Fla. Nobody in the outfit had seen a Coca-Cola in more than a year, so they drank one and then began having ideas about the other. At last they decided to put it up in a raffle, and use the proceeds to care for children whose fathers had been killed in this brigade. The lottery was announced in the brigade's little mimeographed newspaper, and chances on the coke were put on sale at 25 cents apiece. The money came in quarters, dollars, shilling, pounds, francs and lire. . They had to appoint a committee to administer the af fair. At the end of the third week the fund exceeded $3000. Then Pvt. L^myl Yancey, of Harlan. Ky., got a miniature bottle of Coca-Cola and he put it up as second prize. Just before the grand drawing the fund reached $4000. Then the slips were put in a German shell case, and the brigade command er drew out two nurpbers. The winnah and new champion was Sergt. William de Schneider of Hackensack, N. J. The little bottle went to Sergt. Lawrence Presnell of Fayetteville, N. C. Sergeant de Schneider was ap palled by what had happened to him. That one coke was the equiv alent of 80.000 bottles back home “I don’t think I care to drink a $4000 bottle,” he said. ‘‘I think I’ll send it home and keep it a few years.” The Literary Guidepost O.v oHiLd X “REUNION ON STRAWBERRY HILL,” by Berenice Thorpe (Knopf; §2.50), Berenice Thorpe’s “Reunion on Strawberry Hill” is the product of the second Knopf “fellowship” in fiction. It is Mrs. Thorpe’s first novel, it has been quite a long time in preparation, and the book is worth the effort. It is a really good job in a very difficult field, written with sureness over a skeleton that is articulated somewhat differently from the us ual. Mrs. Thorpe introduces her characters in separate chapters, each with,an incident or a chain of incidents that places them ac curately in the scheme of. things. Then she brings them together deliberately through a perfectly reasonable device, which is the family reunion. She handles, de vices like a good craftsman—for example, in order to prepare her readers for tragedy she lets them know early in the story that this is the Lengaards’ 48th anniver sary, that the proper time would have been two years later, but that Ma Lengaard feared she would not last another two years. Strawberry Hill is in the Pa cific Northwest. Pa and Ma Len gaard, after a lifetime of wander ing from one poorhouse to an other, have found peace and enough, if not an abundance, on the farm. But their children have scattered. The hard and rather dreadful Amylea runs a beauty shop in Omaha; honest, easy-go ing . Jim is trying to support his present wife and pay alimony to her predecessor, all the time with Lou, his foster-sister, hovering about in an agony of yearning. Jim is a pushover. There are others, including Helga, the career girl, “Anna Ma rie, who is married to a well-off chap considerably older than her self, Ingeborg, scared of her sha dow, and Carl from Alaska. Carl is the baby, best-educated of the lot, the wanderer and the no-good. Mrs. Tnorpe somehow keeps all the emotional strands in hand, and it must have been a terrific job, for she has neglected nobody A and taken advantage of no tech nical short-cuts. From the begin ning the reader understands that bringing together all these peo 7®. ?lu?.t have a tragic outcome, which it does. But the book Is neither stark nor strained; it has a folksy feel and there is enough humor to make it all seem real, seems very real, in fact. SMITH IS NAMED IRAQ COMMANDER LONDON, Feb. 13—(If)—Lt. Gen. Sir Arthur F. Smith, who has been commander of the Uondon Military District, has been nam ed commander-ir.-chief of British forces in Persia and Iraq, suc ceeding Lt. Gen.

MUSTANG BASE IN ENGLAND, Feb. 13—W—After 12 missions, Lt. Wau Kau Kong of Honolulu, only Chinese fighter pilot in the European theater, finally bagged an enemy plane with the help of “an old Oriental trick.” Kong, whose P-51 carries two names—“Chinaman’s Chance” on one side and "No Tickee No Washee” on the other—made the kill Friday while escorting bomb ers to Frankfurt. Enroute home he sighted a lone Focke-Wulf 190 at about 27,000 feet. Kong and Lt. Ridley E. Donnell, Murfreesboro, Tenn., peeled off together but Kong executed what he termed “an old Qriental trick” by taking a short cut "so I’d be in position for an overhead shot at the Jerry when he turned into me.” It worked. “I let him have everything I had which was plenty,” Kong said -V Munich Paper Praises U. S. Gen. Eisenhower MADRID, Feb. 13——The Mu nich newspaper Neueste Nachrich ten in an issue received here printed an article about General Dwight D. Eisenhower, praising his personality and ability with out a single disparaging comment. The American general has an athletic appearance, full health and strength, a well-formed head and jaw showing his great will and is a man whom his country men would call a “he man,” the German editor wrote. The article praised Eisenhow er s “great abilities as an organ izer” and said he had “demon strated great good sense,” in lead ership and tactics in Africa -V AWARDED air medal CHARLESTON. S. C.. Feb. 13— C^-Ensign William T. Clifton, USNK, of Louisburg, N C who has been reported missing in ac tion, has been awarded the Air Medal by the President of the United States for “meritorious achievement” while participating in aerial flight as a fighter pilot during attacks against Japanese forces in the Solomon islands area. Intrepreting The War By ELTON C. FAY Associated Press War Analyst The Allies in Italy seem :0 be nvolved, for the moment, in some thing of a vicious circle. A break-through on the main battle line near Cassino which would link by land the supply routes of the Anzio beachhead with Allied-controlled southern I, aly would facilitate expansion of the beachnead. 1 But a break-through in force i. being opposed by the Germans a Cassino who are shuttlirm rein forcements and shipping ‘ “ over the rail and highway ro,]t" from Rome—a procedure v.h, may contknue until the beachhead can be expanded to cut those'.,! ply routes. ' ^ It is quite possible the Allin will find a way to break this happy situation. Indeed there evidence this is under way Js Allied aviation and naval mn are major factors at work f0 sol, this problem. Communique, rfl ing the week-end spoke 0f th!' presence of Allied heavy bomh ers, in addition to other‘avian over the battle zone. tlon’ The Allied airmen are working steadily and sturdily on the ran” roads and highways, blowing holes in them almost as fast a$ the Nazis can patch them up In the area near Terracina both the rail line and the Appian Wav loop westward to touch the coast and come within easy range of Allied naval guns. There is, however, a second lino of communications between Rome and Cassino used by the Nazis and somewhat farther removed from immediate menace by the Allied beachhead. This mute sisting of a railroad and a way, Via Casilina, runs on sn oi eragesof 20 miles east of the more vulnerable Appian Way. That dis tance, however, is not a problem for Allied airmen. To the south, the Fifth Army continues to make slow progress in the bitter fighting around Cas sino. There, as on the Anzio front, the Allied schedule obviously is off timing; the enemy clings te naciously to his mountain posi tions and bars the way to the plains just to the north. The landings in the Anzio-Net tuno area were made three weeks 1 ago and for some time the initia tive remained with the America and British eleme_ts of the Filth Army. They pushed inland toward several objectives. Rome was a distant objective; the immediate targets were the rail and high way lines to the south. The Allies stood almost astride the rail line at Campoieone and within a short distance of cutting both the rail and highway lines at Cisterna when the initiative passed from their hands and they were stopped. German reinforcements, sent from both the north and south over the very routes which the Allies were seeking to cut, met them. Even then, the landing forces might have broken down the resistance and pushed along except for an unfortunate turn in Italian weather which grounded the greatly superior Allied avia tion and interrupted the landing of supplies and reinforcements from the sea. After a week of intense uncer tainty in lay minds over the se curity of the beachhead, assuring words have come from Allied leaders. The sights are still on Rome and the three weeks at An zio may be only a little interim!' in a long war. -V Fuel Oil Figures Shou) About Seventy Per Cent Winter Is Past In N.
