Forgot to send ns rain Forgot to send the children play, Forgot to often pain. What would happen to this world— If God should forget— Forget for just one day? From Church News. Bus Crowding Wilmington's public transportation service is growing no better fast. There are many con tributory causes, for the most part familiar to everybody. Inadequate rolling stock is one of them. Another is old buses which break down; still another, the inability of the operating company to maintain repair crews at capacity strength. But there is another, also, which is laid at the door of late afternoon shoppers. It is com plained by workers who fishish their day’s ac tivities from four to six o’clock that they sel dom find standing room on buses, because available space, both seats and in the aisles, is occupied for the most part by women who have chosen hours after mid-afternoon for shopping and marketing. The workers feel these women could visit the stores in mid morning or early afternoon and so confer a real beneSit upon them. When the regular work of the day is done they are tired out and standing at a corner while crowded buses passis exhausting, to say nothing of standing in an aisle and being jostled when at last one with a few inches of room to spare finally arrives. We have no means of knowing how many women shoppers deserve the complaint of the workers, or how many who shop late have to do so, but it is certain than any who could arrange their schedules to be downtown and go home when the workers are not seeking bus rides would be helping to solve a diffi cult problem. Same Old- Story In the dead but not dear days thankfully beyond recall, when Leon Henderson was ri ding the OPA whirlwind, it was shown that more cattle were on American ranges than ever before—at a time when' butcher shops were practically without meat. Now Congress is given the same informa tion. An article from the United Press says: “Congress was told the largest cattle popula tion in history is roaming the range,” as the Army food supply becomfs too low for safety and civilians prepare to take still another bitch in their belts. What is the matter with a country which has an actual excess of meat on the hoof but is perpetually undersupplied with meat in the refrigerator? The same United Press article reveals that OPA has arranged to pay slaughterers a sub sidy of 50 cents a hundred pounds in the be lief that more cattle will be sent to stock yards. Maybe this is the needed remedy for the meat shortage. But we prefer to believe that less regulation and more respect for sup ply and demand would bring results. Also a person of long experience, trained in food distribution, at the top (if there must be an OPA at all might improve the deplorable sit uation. _v__ Draft Reduction It is obviously believed by President Roose belt that the conflict in Europe will be con ceded at least by the end of June. In con nection with his request for funds with which to finance the Selective Service set-up for another fiscal year the White House lets it be known that the draft call probably will be reduced 31 per cent in July, the men then summoned to bemused chiefly as replacements. Were the war in Europe still in full swing by mid-summer, or if it were expected tc continue at top speed until then, we probabl) would not hear the White House say a materi al reduction in the total men called up is quite likely to be made. This seems to be th« significant thing in dispatches revealing th« House Military Committee has voted to ex tend Selective Service. We can only hope that the White House ii > too optimistic as regards the draft. A the same time we must not forget that Japan is still to be conquered and that even when Germany is disposed of as an active enemy much time must be devoted to transferring forces from Europe to the Orient. Japan is a long way from Germany. The transfer will involve the longest supply route and the heav iest deliveries ever required in a war emer gency. Of course, the White House may have news concerning Russia’s plans and possible parti cipation in the closing phases of the Pacific war. If Russia intends to settle its long-stand ing and overdue account with the Japanese by joining the United States and Great Brit ian in the battles ahead, the need for heavy recruitment in this country would be reduced. Russia already has a million trained soldiers on the Siberian front and is believed to be preparing great air bases at strategic points. -V Answer This Call Wilmington faces another municipal election. Candidates for the Council have until April 13 to file with the Board of ‘ Elections, with the primary set for April 3 and the final election on May 8. It is important—and this is said with all respect to the incumbent Council—that men of highest standing in the professions and various business and industrial enterprises ought to set aside any personal aversion to political office and “come out’’ for the Council. The Star-News has no candidate. It merely urges that Wilmington elect the best and most representative Council to be obtained, which it can do only if men of the highest standing enter the race. The city government is Wilmington’s great est corporation, its administration a serious responsibility. Its duties involve tedious tasks but in the final analysis there is distinct honor in the service. With a full slate of candidates, made up of strictly representative citizens, the voters may select the group they believe best fitted to be their stewards in matters pertaining to Wil mington’s advancement and development. -V The Subsidy Racket : The nation's railways cannot be expected to grow and flourish in the future under a policy requiring them to pay their own way while competing transportation is heavily subsidized with public funds, Thomas Balmer, Vice-Pres ident, Great Northern Railway, declared in an address before the Northwest Shippers Advis ory Board. He stressed the railways’ function as the backbone of the national transportation system in peace and war, and their history of steadily improving service while at the same time reducing rates. "Certainly,” said Mr. Balmer, an instru ment of such reliability and such utility is en titled to primary consideration in the planning of the nation’s postwar economy. . .In a fair and equal field of free opportunity for all methods of transportation, the nation may continue to rely upon its railroads in time of peace as it now does in time of war.” Mr. Belmer commented on the flood of pro posals in this country to create prosperity for everyone after the war by immense expen ditures of public money.” Many of these, he explained, have "envisioned supersystems of highways, airways and waterways to be built at public expense and maintained wholly or in part at public cost.” These proposals assume, Mr. Balmer con tinued, that “in some vague and indefinite way” these supersystems "will so improve the public welfare and increase the national in come that, somehow, in the end, all of the bills will be paid and nobody will feel the pain.” The only ultimate end of the latter line of thinking, he asserted, can be repudiation of public debt or currency debasement so the debt can be paid off. In either case, the “great majority of the public are exploited and victimized for the benefit of the few.” The Harvest Theoretically, government can control the cost of living by setting prices. By various makeshifts, including subsidies to producers, it can be made to work for a while, but the ultimate result is Inevitable — cost of pro duction, including increased taxes and wages and a reasonable profit, must be recognized, or there will be no production. We are witness ing that today in butter, ham, bacon, beef, etc. The fundamental reason for the butter shor tage is the price farmers are allowed for milk going into butter. Their returns on such milk are so low that they are forced to mar ket the milk in other outlets in order to meet high production costs. So we might as well learn to get along without butter and all oth er products where prices are set which are out of joint with the cost of production. IT Free Markets Although Russia and Germany have entire ly different backgrounds and traditions, it is no accident that over-all economic planning for government control or ownership of all productive activity has bocked the existence of democratic Institutions in both countries. Where a central government assumes re sponsibility for operating the economic system or of assuring employment, the free expres sion of the will of the members of that society is incompatible with the functioning of such a planned economy. Such control of a na tion’s individual freedom which permits man to carry on private enterprise and buy and sell as he sees fit, cannot exist. It is becoming more generally recognized that a peaceful world in the future will de pend largely upon free markets—the inter i change of goods and services between na tions. Therefore, it is logical that the great est possible freedom of opportunity in pro duction and distribution should exist in the United States in order to insure freedom and opportunity at home. But, instead of that, we already find a well-planned program reaching far into the future, after the war has ended, to control production and distribution. Those in charge of so-colled postwar plan ning seem not to understand the driving force of individual incentive which flows from free opportunity to produce and sell, 'the limit of their vision seems to be to ration constantly dwindling supplies, rather than promote con ditions which increase production, with result ing increased sales of food and commodities of all kinds, with countless new jobs resulting therefrom. While our national government talks about free markets abroad, let it not forget that the success of such a policy so far as the United States is concerned, rests first upon a national policy that encourages free mar kets at home where the initiative of the in dividual is not restricted by some government bureau at every turn. _v_ Siege Of New York BY ARTHUR KROCK WASHINGTON. They are saying harsh things today about Mayor LaGuardia, saying them in Washington, where he has long been con sidered the President's roving ally and the New Deal’s general of irregulars. The remarks range frpm suggestions that the Mayor has “taken New York City out of the Union” or “out of the war” to charges that, in adding an hour to the night life of the metropolis, he has threatened a breakdown of that “volun tary” system of wartime compliances in which the President has taken such pride. Most of this, of course, is uttered in private: the issue raised is still too delicate for official blasts that may be forthcoming. Although the stated and implied war pow ers of the Presidency, carried over from the past, have been added to since this war be gan by statute and by court and administra tive interpretation, it has been high policy to get many things done by request.” The cen sorship code of the press and radio, except for direct powers of the military to suppress or proceed against certain publications informa tory of the enemy, is voluntary.” The ban on horse-racing is in the same category. And when Administrator Byrnes of OWMR imposed the midnight curfew he put it in the form of a request. But now Mayor LaGuardia ha* withdrawn his acceptance of that request, and today the Administration pondered for hours what to do about it. The immediate decision was to meet it with psychological warfare. That was the method employed by Mr. Byrnes in his statement today. And it was implicit also in the comment of some Mayors of their large cities whose political alliance with the Admin istration i* close and of long standing. Their comment critical of New York City’s official position was being repeated here today with what suggested pride of authorship. It may be the Administration will find that it must defend voluntary compliance by strong er measures, should noncompliance spread bv example and the European war continue to confound the prophets of an early finish. It may be the Administration will continue pas sively to sit out the situation. For New York’s problem is in a sense unique among all the cities of the United States: it is the largest port of embarkation and debarkation, its work ers are more numerous and more dependent on all-night transport; and the immediate im pression here is that the bulk of its citizenry supports the Mayor. But developments might force on the Admin istration an ultimate choice between two al ternatives. relax the curfew to the same de gree Mr. LaGuardia has relaxed it; or pro ceed variously under the President’s war pow ers to abolish or nullify the relaxation. The decision of the United States District Court in Chicago in the Montgomery Ward case indicates that an attempt to substitute Fed eral for local powers over the curfew would have to be carried to the Supreme Court, through the two inferior tribunals, before the Administration could hope to have sus tained such an exercise of Federal powers. By that time observance of the cur few might have broken down in many cities and a legal victory do more harm than good to the stated objective. Doubtless, however, United States attorneys could quote a lot of law in favor of enforced compliance with the curfew; the President is empowered, for ex ample, to place restrictions on trade and in dustry (which could be the denial of sup plies, heat, light, power and manpower.) But, as Administrator Byrnes conceded to day, these are 'indirect sanctions” which can not be successfully invoked without the full cooperation of local authorities or unless the Government forms its own enforcement divi sion, which, he said, the Government is un willing to do. Therefore, if his statement re mains policy, neither of the alternatives listed above will be chosen. The Administration will rely on the effects of psychological war fare, hoping that—in such instances as that of New York City—local public opinion will force the authorities to re-comply, or the end of the war in Europe will come in time to prevent a protracted period of noncompliance any where. Thisiis probably the wisest course the Pres ident and Mr. Byrnes could take, and certainly it is the most prudent. Also it is typical of the OWMR Administrator’s methods in Govern ment until very recently, when complaints be gan to arise that he is an “autocrat." He has always preferred persuasion to force, con ciliation to attack and example the precept. And he has never believed that the American people can be driven very successfully. The statement Mr. Byrnes issued today, in which the President’s approval was explicitly stated, was reminiscent of others he has made in difficult situations. The statement of policy was prudent for another reason, and this arises from the grow ing disturbance in Congress and' among the public over food shortages and prophecies of worse to come. If responsible opinion were unanimous that these shortages are part of the cost of a war fought under as good domestic as military, management, the threat the Ad ministration fears they may represent to in ternational cooperation would not be troubling it so much. But many informed and respon sible authorities are charging mismanage ment and waste, and Congress is moving to ward a vigorous investigation. With such a prospect, an attempt to force curfew compliance on the largest city in the nation might be harmful far beyond the local ■orbit. — Niw York Times. TIME BOMB! Of \n.ycui?fewI/ Your War-With Ernie Pyle BY ERNIE PYLE IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC— (delayed)—One of the first friends I made aboard our aircraft Car rie was a tall, well-built, must.ach ed sailor named Jerry Ryan. He wears dungarees, smokes a pipe sometimes, and always his sleeves rolled up. He’s from (716 West Locust-st.) Davenport, la., but his wife is living in Indianap olis. He is a Boilermaker First Class. Jerry had served one hitch in the Navy before the war. He knows all the little ins and outs of how to get along. Everybody likes him. He isn’t especially talkative, yet it’s safe to say he knows more people than anybody else on ths ship. Ryan is what is known in the navy as "a good man.” He’s skill ed in his work, he's dependable, and he’s very smart. He’d die be fore he’d curry favor with anybody. He’s the kind an officer can de pend on utterly—if that officer plays square with Ryan. But he gets a pretender so quickly it would make your head swim. Ryan's concept of right and wrong is very sharply drawn and the Irish in him doesn’t hesitate when a crisis comes. The other boys were telling me of an in cident— It was one of the days when Jap bombs hit his ship, off the Philip pines. A great hole was torn in the deck. Several men were killed, and many wounded. Bodies of their comrades were still lying mangled on the deck. A sailor came up to look at the damage, and said almost exulting ly “Oh boy, this is great. Now at last they’ll have to send us back to America for repairs.” Without saying a word , Ryan turned and knocked him down. » ** » Ryan runs what is known as the “oil shack.” From this little do main the condensers are regula ted. He has dials and guages and a phone and a clipboard on which are kept hourly records of oil pres sures and water levels and all that stuff. The “shack” is a little room about the size of an apartment kitchenette, with a metal work bench and drawers full of tools, and one folding canvas stool. Ryan’s oil shack is a social cen ter. There is always somebody hanging around. You can get a cup of coffee there, look at sea shell collections, see card tricks, or find out the latest rumors that started on the bridge five minutes ago. Jerry brews coffee for his guests in a nickel-plated pot over an elec tric grill. The pot has a red hash mark for one hitch of service in the Navy. And soon he is going to award it the Purple Heart. It got dented in the Philippines typhoon. Some nights we pop corn in the “oil shack.” The boys’ folks send them corn in cans, and they beg butter from the galley, and pop’er up in a skillet on the grill. One of Ryan’s friends who comes to eat popcorn is a Negro—a tall, athletic fellow from his home town of Davenport. They were on the ship together for a year before they found out they were from the same place. The colored boy’s name is Wesley Cooper. He is a cook. He was a star athlete back home. He’s the best basketball player in the whole crew. When he gets done with the war he has a scholarship waiting for him at the University of Iowa. Wesley comes down to the shack almost every night after supper. He smokes a curved stem pipe, and holds one hand up to it, and listens and grins and doesn’t say much. We were popping corn one night. One of the boys said “Wes, how about getting us some 'more but ter?” And another one said “Wes, bring some salt, will you?” And a third said "And bring me a sand wich when you come down, will you Wes?” And Wes- grins and his white teeth flash and he said, “I suppose you’d like for me to go up and cook you a whole meal?” And he never made a move. * * • Another of my best friends is Howard Wilson, a bos’ns mate sec ond class. Like Lieut. Jimmy Van Fleet, the fighter pilot we wrote about, he is from Findlay, Ohio. In fact they are good friends. Wilson is a low-spoken, handsome and highly intelligent man of 35. He has a beautiful home and a good business back in Findlay. He is part owner and general manager of three movie theaters. His wife is running them while he is away. In those bygone years back in the old hometown, Jimmy Van Fleet used to go to Howard Wilson and borrow money when he got hard up. Now the younger Jimmy dwells in the comparative luxury of officers’ quarters, and the older Howard lives the lowlier life of a sailor, sleeping on a rack in a crowded compartment, and wear ing dungarees. That’s the way things go in war time. Howard is old and wise enough that it doesn’t bother him in the slightest. He accepts the war and his own lot calmly. The other pilots know of this friendship, and ask Jimmy if he’s keeping on the good side of How' ard to insure he'll have a job when the war is over? He says he is. WASHINGTON CALLING by MARQUIS CHILDS COLOGNE—Germany is finish ed as a modern industrial nation for a least 30 years. I am convin ced of that after seeing the des truction in Aachen,. Duren, Esch weiler and other towns in the Roer and Rhine valleys—and now this once populous city. Furthermore, it seems to me that the argument over a hard or soft peace is irrelevent in the face of the , extent of the destruction throughout Germany. Allied bomb ers have long since settled that argument. According to airmen familiar with the progress of the bombing from the beginning, other cities have received even worse blast ing than Cologne. Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Dresden and industrial centers such as Essen have been reduced in whole or in part to rub ble. The industrial areas of Silesia were destroyed in the battle again st the Russians, and whatever re mains will almost certainly be ap propriated by the Soviets. If Ber lin is defended in a prolonged siege as now seems certain, that will put the final touch on the capital, which was also an important in dustrial area. That was what happened here in Cologne. Bombing had carried the process of destruction very far, and the final attack did the rest. According to the estimate of en gineers on the staff of the Allied Military Government, 90 per cent of Cologne’s industry has been des troyed. That may be a high esti mate, but even if it were 80 per cent or 70 per cent the job of re construction is plainly overwhelm lug. There is, it seems to me, no par allel with the last war and its after math. In November, 1918, Ger many’s industrial plants was in tact. Raw materials had been cut off and the food supply was at a low ebb, but the capacity for re covery was unimpared. German soil had not become a battle ground Consider the difference today. If the war goes on to tjie bitter end, with the Russian and Ameri can-British armies finally coming together, then almost all the chief cities will be in the same state as Cologne. The transportation system is al ready so near destruction that it functions only for urgent mili tary necessity, and sometimes not even then. It took three weeks to move one division from the Ital ian front into Germany, an opera tion which would normally take three days. Look at Germany’s plight from still another angle. The figure of 125,000 civilian casualties in Colo gne is purely arbitrary, but, what ever it was, it certainly was high. Casualties in other big cities must also have ,lpeen high. Before peace/* restored, hun dreds of thousands of fanatical young Nazis will die either in bat tle with tiie Allies or in civil dis orders and the prolonged guerilla warfare which will probably fillow the end of organized resistance. Add this to the heavy losses al ready recorded and you get a pic ture of the dwindling population, with the most vigorous elements eliminated. Even at the height of the propaganda drive for more babies, the Nazis could make only a slight upward dent in the declin ing birth rate. Their present fanatical drive, pointed toward suicide of the nat ion, seems to me to explode the myth of a superbrain directing Germany toward world conquest. If such a superbrain existed, it would have dictated capitulation when the Allied armies advanced to the German border. The damage that had been done to Germany from the air was serious then, but it was not irreparable. More important, the Allies were wholly unprepared then to cope with the problem of occupation. In the time that has intervened, public opinion in both England and America has solidified in fav or of stern treatment of the con quered nation, and we have begun to plan how this shall be meted out. Who will be left to rebuild Ger many, where will the energy come from, where will the capital come from? The Allies are plainly not in the mood of the '20s' when American-British capital went in to “loans” or German reconstruc tion. The estimate of 30 years lor recovery seems to me conserva tive. In fact, the question is wheth er Germany can ever approach her former position. This is not to say that the d> jnamic force of Nazism, with all its inherent evil, has also been elim inated, for it has not. It can qui conceivably take a new form, ral lying embittered Europe against the “Barbarous Americans i°r their work of destruction. That, it seems to me, is not a:n impossibility. A great deal e" pends on the degree of su®£^ with which we manage our auairi -both at home and abroad. __ By KIRKE L.

Big Allied 1 bombers do the strategic bombing 9 to aid the Russians and they are I less weather restricted than Al lied support aviation groupi. German reports and the general tone of field reports from the Al lied front place a scene of great concentration west of the Rhine at the extreme north end ef the line. About all that has been re- i vealed by (he Allies was that heavy trans-Rhine bombardment, under the greatest military smoke screen ever raised, had been in progress for hours virtually from Dusseldorf to the Arnhem corner in Holland, The Germans stid the Ruhr, the vast industrial area on the east bank on which the Nazis relied chiefly for creation of the war equipment that proved insufficient to conquer the world, is the Allied objective. That as true, no doubt, although Rhine crossings to the south also at the same time are to be ex pected. It does not follow that a cross Rhine drive by Marshal Montgomery's American-British Canadian armies in the north nec essarily would be aimed directly at the Ruhr. It would seem more probable that Montgomery would strike north of the Ruhr while the American First Army bridgehead on the east bank, was expanded northeastward to ward Hamm. A pincer play to by pass the Ruhr both north and south and squeeze it off probably would be less costly in casualties than direct attack. A current British war commen tary by “Veritas” makes that point: "A frontal assault against such a densely built-up area (as the Ruhr) would put a premium on de fense,” it said. "To by-pass and envelop this area would seem to be a more reasonable plan, and in that case the springboards for the attack would be roughly be tween Cologne and Dusseldorf on the south side and between Nij megen and Wesel to the north. By German reports at least, that would look to be an accurate fore cast although the real situation cannot be discerned until the Al lied news black-out on the lower Rhine, like the vast smoke screen, lifts to reveal it. --V-— The reptilian heart is a three chambered organ.__ The Literary Guidepost By W. G. ROGERS “The Doctor's Job,” by Carl Binger, M.D. (Norton; $3). This author-doctor has, or so this layman - critic supposer, a wide reptutation in the medical field, but he’s going to be sur prised at how much wider his rep utation will become in the general field when the public starts read ing his witty, learned, dramatic, understanding and human book. Quoting A. E. Housman, Robert Frost, E. B. White, Henrv of Na varre, ranging from the disap pearing family doctor to institu tionalized medicine, matching cases of old-time magic “cures” against modem treatments, he dis cusses the doctor in our society in terms which the man in the street can understand and can't help enjoying. “We can cure some diseases,” re asserts, but adds that on the whole the doctor strives at most to prepare the way for nature. He quote a surgeon: "I dressed him and God healed him.” Among his subjects are psycho analysis, stomach ulcer, allergy, convalescence, fees, socialized medicine. Medicine, he points out, is al ready socialized to a considerate t extent, and he notes the million* spent annually by city, state ana fderal health departments. 1 question, he continues, is whetne socialization shall be extended. The average American income, even the income of doctors, is no large enough for the costs of me ■ ical care He quotes Army figure* on the shocking extent of physics unfitness among draftees. He 1 not appalled by the social imP1'” cations of the Wagner-Murray-Um gell bill providing health insurance, he says, though he doubts whetne the country is sufficientlyexpe** ienced in large-scale medical ad ministration. But we can’t «tai well for nothing he insists; some body must pay the piper. This book won’t cure any ® your aches and pains, but it *| reassure you about them. It give you a confidence in the rr.ea ical profession, and a comprehen sion of it, you may not have had I hope doctors who so ofte stock the tables in their waiting rooms with the world’s least con sequential literature will proviOj this book for their patients. I hope you won’t wait till y°u r sick to read it.
