Senator Taft has made this theory into official Republican party dogma by saying in his speech of Sept. 11 to the Ohio State Convention that— President Roosevelt and Presi dent Truman at Tehran, at Yalta, at Potsdam, and at Moscow pur sued a policy of appeasing Rus sia which has sacrificed through out eastern Europe and Asia ihe freedom of many nations and of millions of people. Now President Roosevelt is dead and Mr. Harry Hopkins is dead, and so they cannot give their own account of what they did and why they did it. But there were others at the conferences when the agree ments with Russia were made, not ably Mr. Churchill and the British chiefs of staff, Admiral Leahy, General Marshall and Admiral King, as well as Mr. Charles E. Bohlen, who is Mr. Byrnes’s prin cipal adviser on Russia. None of them has as yet suggested that the agreements with Stalin were dictated by Mr. Roosevelt person ally, or that against their judg ment and advice he appeased Rus sia.

We wrote several stories about it wfcek before last. Then, the minute we wrote the last story, the mailman started bringing us pictures of the monster of la mer. The pictures were all so good that We had a tough time select ing the best one. Then, after we had winnowed out the one we thought tops, we got tangled up in the tale of Wilmington’s living Christmas tree. In short, we had neither the time nor the opportunity to print the picture last week that you’ll find on Page Three today. * * • WHO IS WHO? — We hope you’ll agree, though, that the picture was well worth waiting for It was loaned to us by Mr. Louis Shrier, to whom we now offer our thanks. Mr. Shrier neglected to tell us three important things, however: (11 Who is the photographer? (2) Who are the four brave bare footed men? (3) Who is the sissy with shoes on? We’re also wondering what the whale felt like to the bottoms of those eight bare feet, but we don’t expect Mr. Shrier to come up with the answer on that one. He was just a child when the whale washed ashore, and we doubt that his mother allowed him to use the dead cetacean as a playground. * » • TOO BAD — If his mother had allowed him that pleasure it would See CAPE FEAR on Page Two Thoroughbred Workhorse Shown above is the sleek sea-going tug Albemarle, the thorough bred water-riding workhorse recently assigned to permanent duty with the Wilmington district U.
