GOERING accused AS WARAGITATOR NUERNBERG, Jan. 8.— flJ.R) Keichsmarshal Hermann Goer L was accused before the war "rimes tribunal today of telling his n'h colleagues on May 27, 1936, that thenceforth all German gov ernment measures should be con sidered “with a view of waging war.” Goering was the target of the first blast at the Nazi leaders when the prosecution swung sud denly to a presentation of evidence against individual defendants. Ralph G. Albrecht of the Ameri can prosecution staff told of a meeting of Nazi government offi ce at which Goering announced his intention of putting Germany’s whole economy on a war footing within four years. Albrecht said the warlike state ments Goering made to his asso ciates were documented by memo randa from government ministries in Berlin. At another time, Albrecht said Goering told Hjaimar Schacht, Naz: financial wiza -d and another of the current defendants, that if war came tomorrow money would be useless and he must use sub stitutes. He accused Schacht of trying to hoard foreign exchange. Albrecht said hand-written min utes of a meeting at the German air ministry on Dec. 2, 1936, show ed Goering saying that world re action to the landing of German troops in Spain was most serious, wito Russia seeking war and Bri tam preparing for war ordered Germany put ir InH degree of readines: unfil io^he ^eich needed “peac< rli941*but we cannot tei fnrpha 1 ^e involved be forehaand.

WILMI ONHERO IS R PERATING Recuperating from a severe brain concussion and a leg frac ture which he received in a plane crash in late 1945 in South Carolina Captain Roland M. Wooten, a form er member of the Wilmington En gineers club and employe of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, is now in the Army hospital at Fort Jackson, S. C. Among pilots who fly regularly, broken bones are no novelty, but in 1944, Capt. Wooten: 1 Broke his back when his plane was shot down over Aachen, Ger many. 2—Was tortured by German in telligence officers who tried to force information from him. 3 — Received the Distinguished Flying Cross and the last of 18 clusters to the Air Medal. Ironically enough, the young cap tain’s latest crash occurred while he was on the peaceful mission of aiding in the sale of bonds during the South Carolina Victory loan. The mishap came only a few weeks after he left Bluethenthal field, where he was stationed for several months in 1945. Capt. Wooten received his wings as a fighter pilot in Texas in 1942. He flew British Spitfires for the British from Malta in 1942 and was the first South Carolinian fighter pilot to fly operational mis sions over France. A graduate of The Citadel, Charleston, S. C., Wooten partici pated in a total of 164 combat missions. KILLED BY TRAIN WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 7.— VP)—Stepping out of the path of one railroad train, James Mills, of Ay len, N.

Asst. Sec.-Treas. M. G. JAMES. V-Pres. J. O. CARR. Attj. v ' ~^/ Today and Tomorrow by WALTER LIPPMANN ine White House Department Mr. Truman dwelt on the fac that while in foreign affairs Con gress has been willing to legislate his own proposals for domestic legislation are for the most par stalled in committees of the House of Representatives. Where shall we look for the ex planation? First of all, it seems tt me, in the White House itself. Foi if, as Mr. Truman himself said, “the great mass of our citizens whe have no special interests . . . fine it difficult to make themselves heard,” it must be because the President himself has failed tc make it quite clear to them whal they are to make themselves heard about. They certainly cannot make themselves heard distinctly and strongly and with one voice aboul thirty or forty assorted proposals. * » « The great mass of the citizens cannot support a complicated pro gram consisting of many detailed measures; what they can support is a policy which the program is de signed to put into effect. Thus the people are supporting the policy of international co-operation, and that is the reason why, without their understanding fully the de tailed measures as such, they have been behind intricate proposals like the charter of U. N. O. and Bretton Woods. But Mr. Truman’s recommenda tions are a program of which no one, not he himself, can say what the policy is. In his radio speech Mr. Truman in effect admitted it when, speaking of the dangers oi the reconversion period, he said he was trying “to avert the dangers oi inflation and deflation.” Is it as tonishing that the people do not understand a program which ap pears to be moving in two opposite directions at once? How, without a much fuller and clearer explana tion of what he is trying to do, can Mr. Truman expect great popular support for a program which, on the one hand, would increase pur chasing power and the inflationary demand for goods — and on the other hand, would control prices and the use of raw materials in order to deflate the excessive de mand for goods? * * « Presumably what the President has in mind is that in the present reconversion period there is infla tion in certain sections of our econ omy and deflation in others. He is aware, then, that until civilian production is considerably greater than it is, there will be a predomi nating inflationary pressure on prices which may, if it is not con trolled, be extremely inconvenient and troublesome. Beyond that he realizes that at some time in the future the post-war boom will ex haust itself, that consumption and investment will fall off and be quite insufficient to sustain a high level of employment, and that a dangerous depression is indicated unless measures are prepared well in advance to correct the de ficiencies. This is probably what he Is meaning to say since it is what the ablest economists in the govern ment service are predicting. It is, obviously, a rather complicated prediction, and it cannot easily be made clear and convincing to a large audience. But if that is to be done, the President will have to get his speeches on the subject written by men who really under stand it. ■What he is doing instead is to have men, who do not themselves understand very well what it is all about, explain what little they know in words of one syllable. But a really difficult subject cannot be explained simply except by some one who has mastered it thorough ly. Yet it is very evident that the men who helped him compose this speech, or at least those whom he listened to finally, had only a re cently acquired smattering knowl edge of what they were talking about. * • • Mr. Truman’s troubles can be traced directly to the fact that he is just beginning to learn what the office of the President really is. He certainly did not realize at the be ginning that the White House has now become itself a department of government. The Presidency is not just a man with some secretaries and some clerks. It is the central department of the government where all other departments meet, and have to be guided, corrected, superintended, and made a team. This requires a White House staff of men who are so able and so ver satile that they can settle many issues in the President’s name, can select the issues the President him self must decide, and can prepare the issues so that he can know enough to decide them. Now while Mr. Truman saw the need to reorganize the Cabinet and to use it, he did not see that he needed also to make the White House itself an efficient depart ment. The Truman Cabinet is by any reasonable standard a good Cabinet. In many ways it is a re markably good Cabinet. But the White House is deplorably weak, and since Mr. Truman is a modest and unpretentious man who mvft feel his way without benefit of much inspiration through a maze of problems, he has little hope of being a successful President if his own immediate official family re mains what it now is. The blunt truth is that the men nearest him do not have enough brains, and have practically none of the wis dom which comes from experience and education, to help him to be the President of the United States. * * * The other day the Emperor of Japan told his people to abjure the myths and legends that he is de vine. There is an American myth and legend, which it would be well for us to abjure, that “the plain ; people” who made this country ■ great and kept it free” like me diocre men in their government, and do not respond to excellence and distinction. This is a poli ticians’ fable. For the plain people are in fact not so plain, or, as Franklin P. Adams once put it, the average man is above the average. If the polls are to be trusted at all, they prove that statistically. Furthermore, it is not true that the so-called common people like to have common men to lead them and govern them. They much pre fer men of uncommon ability and character whom they have reason to trust. Any list of American lead ers whom the people have liked is a list of men who, no matter what their background and origin, were distinguished men in any company: Washington, Jefferson, Cleveland, Lincoln, Wilson, the two Roosevelts among the Presidents: men like Root, Hughes, Stimson, A1 Smith, Willkie, who played a great part in American life. The cult of mediocrity, which is a form of inverted snobbery, is not democracy. It is one of the dis eases of democracy. For what de mocracy demands is equal rights for all men because they are men and, at the same time, equal op portunity — so that what is best and exceptional in each man may come forth and flourish. Faith in democracy is justified by this promise that it will release talents and gifts that would be suppressed in a society of caste, and therefore that it brings into the service of the nation and of mankind men who have rich and varied and ex cellent abilities. Copyright, 1946, New York Tri bune Inc. HIERS fOATTEND TRADECONFERENCE J. T.

(International) COL OCHS HERE ONSHORT VISIT Arriving here Monday to spend a few days between tours of duty, Col. William V.

The colonel came to Wilmington nine years ago to establish the ROTC unit at New Hanover High school. He remained until 1941 as director of the unit.

He expects to remain in Wil mington until Friday and declared he hoped to be able to do a bit of hunting and fishing while here. The colonel, who takes over his new command Monday, said he if going to spend a day at For Benning on his way to Birming ham to visit his son, Lt. Williarr V.
