Indifferent to Obligation
Once more, as so often in recent
years, Wilmingtonians by and large
were indifferent to their obligation to
vote on Monday. The poll books show
7,793 persons registered for the pri
mary election. Only 2,864 cast ballots.
Only thirty-six and three-fourths per
cent of the eligible. voters took the
trouble to visit the polls.
Again Wilmington is to have a Coun
cil chosen by a minority. How can we
claim to be truly democratic when we
fail to exercise the franchise? When
will we awaken to our responsibility
as citizens of a democracy in which
majority rule is a cardinal principle?
As it turns out and as well as can
be foreseen in advance, the next Coun
cil is well qualified for its duties. Wil
mington should have a sound business
administration. But it cannot be de
nied that no member may properly
claim to represent a majority of the
electorate.
! The fact that less than half of the
city’s registered voters failed to vote
‘means that should any administrative
blunder be made, which God forbid, the
non-voters would have no right to raise
their voice in compliant.
The only way in which this fault
can be overcome is for all citizens to
support the Council in every worth
while undertaking and the delinquents
at the polls hold their peace when a
Council act is contrary to their views.
Cheap At Any Price
The underlying purpose of the pro
posed loan to Greece and Turkey is to
halt, if possible, the further spread of
■communistic control and influence in
Europe. Neither nation is capable of
withstanding Russian pressure without
aid.
It would be poor policy indeed to
stand by and do nothing to halt Rus
sia’s expansionist campaign, especially
as the United States apparently is list
.ed at Moscow for ultimate control as,
in fact, are all nations and continents.
Thus, when Senator McKellar, dur
ing the debate on the measure to pro
vide $400,000,000 to help keep Russia
out of Turkey and Greece and send mili
tary missions into both countries, says
that it is likely to cost more than the
United States can afford, it is pertinent
to ask if fulfillment of Russia’s aims
here would not also cost infinitely more
■ than the United States can afford.
It is not the immediate drain upon
the Treasury alone that needs con
sideration but the inevitable conse
quences of failure to come to these
countries’ aid in their emergency.
It is with considerable satisfaction
that the American people, who gen
erally shudder at the spread of com
munism, welcome passage of the loan
bill by the Senate with a comfortable
margin. They also are hopeful that the
House, in which the Foreign Relations
Committee has approved a similar
measure, will concur without too long
delay.
Could Be Golf Center
The possibility of Wilmington’s be
coming a national gold center, ^hich
was the key thought presented by
Louis 0rrell, chairman, of the Star
News Golf tournament, at the banquet
given by the papers for the tournay
ment committee. It is such a reason
able viewpoint, and Wilmington hav
ing demonstrated upon several oc
casions recently that its people are
capable of accomplishing great things
through unified effort, the time for
turning another possibility into achieve
ment has arrived.
Because this vicinity offers golfers
year-round play and tournaments may
be held in mid-winter as well as mid
summer, the chief need is for concen
trated endeavor to put Wilmington on
the golf map of the nation. It can be
done and can do as much for the city
and southeastern North Carolina as
the tournaments at Asheville, Aiken
or any of the other established golf
centers in the South.
For the most part tne local links
have been used by Wilmingtonians with
the principal play on Saturday after
noons and Sundays. The Cape Fear
Country Club and the Municipal cour
ses are so heavily patronized at these
times that late arrivals have difficulty
teeing off. The two are inadequate to
the demand on these two days every
week. This is as true in winter as in
the other seasons.
An additional course Is needed. If
created at either of the two chief beach
resorts it would not only relieve the
crowding at the other links but attract
many players during vacation time,
which is no longer a strictly summer
affair but is staggered throughout the
year.
A group having as its chief objec
tive a tournament with large enough
prizes to draw the nation’s top-flight
players could do wrhat Mr. Orrell pro
poses. Why should not the current
Star-News tournament be the right
starting point for the undertaking?
As To Buying Power
President Truman made an eloquent 1
but, sad to say, not wholly consistent ,
appeal for the general price reduction
which has for some time been the ob- ]
jective of the administration as well :
as a majority of the people.
Addressing the annual luncheon of 1
the Associated Press, the Chief Execu- '
five pointed out the increases in the
cost of living as affected by price levels, ,
particularly since federal controls were ;
removed, but at the same time conced- '
ed that some pay advances had been ]
given with a strong probability that
others would follow.
Now, the need is to sustain the buy
ing power of the people as a prime
means of preventing wild-fire inflation
with an inevitable depression to follow.
The President was correct in urging
price reductions as a means of main
taining buying power. But he weaken
ed his appeal by tacitly favoring wage
increases.
There are two ways to hold buying
power at a high level. One is to cut
prices. The other is to raise wages.
By no stretch of the imagination can
the battle against inflation be won by
a combination of both. For as long as
there is .plenty of moijey in hand buy
ers will make large and in many cases
unnecessary purchases at exhorbitant
prices, and so the cost of living will
continue to rise and encourage inflation.
On the other hand, when pay is at
the normal level, when the markets are
sluggish and goods must be disposed
of, prices are sure to fall and inflation,
as a consequence, receives the one jolt
it cannot stand.
Noting that the preponderance of
opinion favors price reductions, one
Washington correspondent comments:
“To increase wages will simply jack
the whole price structure higher in that
inflation spiral that never stops until
it crashes. . .”
The pay' advance granted workers
in United States Steel plants is not
well calculated to help combat infla
tion. The wage increase sought by tele
phone workers, if granted, will be an
other step toward the disaster of in
flation.
It is vitally necessary, after the ex
jcessive wages paid during the war, that
■this country get back to economic
normalcy as speedily as it can be done,
jit is time for union labor leaders, in
dustrialists, the administration itself,
to realize that this goal can not be
reached by periodically boosting wages,
a process which is a vicious circle with
higher wages creating higher prices,
and higher prices requiring higher
wages.
Could It Be?
As yet no explanation has been of
fered of the disappearance of treaties
from the State Department. Maybe
the Cat Man got them.

Trotsky we are wondering what would

Russia And Peace
By ANNE O’HARE McCORMICK
Does the Soviet Government want peace?
The completely negative attitude of Mr. Molo
tov on the Austrian treaty will do more than
anything that has happened in Moscow to con
vince the American delegation that the answer
is no. Secretary Marshall went to Russia with
the idea that nothing more than the spade
work on the German settlement could be done
at this conference. But he carried in his mind
two touchstones of the Russians’ desire for
a European peace. One was their attitude
toward the American proposal of a four-power
pact to keep Germany disarmed. The other
was their willingness to negotiate an Austrian
settlement, critical because it entails the
evacuation of occupation forces from every
country in Europe except Germany.
The offer of a treaty has been rejected as
far as this meeting is concerned. The pro
posal, designed to remove fear and suspicion
from the discussion of the German treaty,
was first broached by Secretary Byrnes when
he went to Moscow in December, 1945. At that
time Stalin expressed himself in favor of it,
and it is fair to assume that Secretary Mar
shal] brought up the project again when he
talked to the Generalissimo last week. Ap
parently nothing came of it, although the
American Government is ready to make the
guarantee for forty or fifty years, or as long
as Russia desires.
Nor was there any response to Marshall’s
compromise plan to meet the Soviet definition
of what constitutes German assets in Austria.
When the Secretary left Washington he said
he was prepared to stand firm on principles
and give on points, and the fixed and movable
positions have been pretty clearly revealed
in the course of the conference. Wilh certain
conditions as to timing and amounts, he
agreed that Russia can receive some repar
ations from German current production. On
Austria he suggested a moratorium on nation
alization by the Austrian Government of any
enterprises the Russians claim as German as
sets, and arbitration on disputed claims. Mr.
Molotov refused to consider any compromise
whatever.
Thus the reaction to both the Marshall tests
was negative. Unless there is a last-minute
miracle, the net result of the whole confer
ence is negative. This is bound to set people
everywhere wondering whether the Soviet
leaders want peace. And if not, what do they
want?
One thing brought out in the arguments in
Moscow is that the aifferences between Rus
sia and the Western powers are not very
ideological. The sticking point in both Austri
an and German settlements is on the question
of reparations. In both cases the controversy
centers on how much Russia is going to get
out of th§ defeated countries.
The record would suggest that Russia’s
aims are strictly materialistic. She has ac
quired large accessions of territory in Europe
and Asia. She has made satellites of her
neighbors and thereby broadened her trading
zone. Requisitions from the vanquished,
though unaccounted for, are substantial—not
enough to enrich or rehabilitate the Soviet
Union but sufficient to ruin the economy of
the small occupied states. Substantial also is
the contribution to reconstruction of prisoner
of-war labor, not to mention the technical
and scientific service rendered by German
deportees. These assets are quite apart from
the incalculable improvement in her power
position resulting from the war.
This does not imply that Russia nas. been
or can be compensated for her staggering
war losses. But she has collected more on
account than any other belligerent. Now she
demands damages out of German current pro
duction for many years to come, and is will
ing tr boost the level of German industry
as high as necessary to guarantee that pay
ment. She insists on title to the Austrian
plant- and property seized bv the Nazis when
thev annexed Austria. She wants, in a word,
the spoils of victory.
There's nothing new in this attitude. In
deed, the most striking feature of Soviet be
havior, whether as negotiator, as great power,
as member of the United Nations, is that it
follows so faithfully the pattern of the old
time bargainer. Its policy is not that of a
revolutionary government seeking to make a
new kind °f peace for a new world. It has
set the pace as well as the date for the
peacemakers, and the pace is a snail's pace
and the date is the day before yesterday. If
the victors are making an outdated peace, a
peace startlingly and dangerously irrelevant
to modern conditions, the fault is largely Rus
sia's.
It is bard to believe that Moscow is putting
one obstacle after another in the way of any
settlement because it hopes to wear down its
war allies, wear down Europe, and thus in
creas its own gains and its own relative
power It is hard to believe that the Soviet
leaders desire to impoverish and reduce to
the subsistence level the peoples on their
border This is what their stalling and their
actions imply, but an indefinite postponement
of peace, a progressive deterioration in the
European standard of living such as is now
taking place at an alarming rate, is fatal for
Russia as well as for the rest of us.
Russia needs peace and reconstruction more
than any other war-torn country. The Rus
sians desire peace and security as desperate
ly as any other people. Even from the point
of view ot Soviet interests, or the spread of
the Communist system, the present tactics
don t seem to make sense. In the world at
large they produce perilous reactions. For if
Russia desires to live in a world without
peace n must mean that she chooses war._

MOUNTAIN RANGES
AND THE EARTH’S CORE
Earlier articles described the
various layers into which the
earth is divided. It is believed
that the hot inner shell of the
lithosphere (rock sphere) is still
pressing closer toward the center
and, therefore, continually shrink
ing. Some places on the earth’s
crust (the outer part of the litho
sphere) are stronger than others
and hold firmly as the inner shell
shrinks. Other places, being
weaker, wTinkle downward or up
ward like the skin on a wither
ing apple.
This warping and buckling
brings about great changes on our
earth. Sometimes a region is
steadily buckled and down-warped
over a period of many years, and
layer after layer of ground-up
rock is deposited in the wrinkles.
Eventually, the crust may break
in places, or the pressure may re
lax in one region and become
stronger in another. So a new
section begins to buckle, and an
area of light-weight rock. iormer
ly sunken, may start to rise slow
ly far above the average land
level. Thus many of our mcun -
tain ranges were formed from
what was once a sea bed.
Not all mountains are so form
ed however. Some are built up
on top of the old crustal rocks
and this type may grow much
more rapidly. These are volcanic
ranges and single peaks built up
by volcanic action. We shall ex
plain about vol'canoes later. Here

The Eastern States amateur
pair event was won this year by
William Fox of Hollis, L. I., and
Walter Ollinger of Glendale, L. I.
This event is termed the amateur
pairs because players with 30 or
more Master Points are not el
igible to compete in it, but some
very fine players will be found
in this contest.
Some pairs went down on to
day’s hand. The opening lead was
won in dummy with the ten of
clubs and the queen of hearts
was led. South won, cashed the
ace of clubs and led another club.
Now declarer had only eight
tricks — two spades four hearts
and two club tricks.
When Fox and Ollinger. played
tne hand, East jyon the first trick
with the queen of clubs, and cor
rectly reasoned that South must
nave the ace of diamonds to justi
-y his vulnerable opening bid.
East returned the seven of dia
monds and South played low, but
declarer confidently -went up with
dummy’s diamond king. When it
held, he led the queen of hearts
and took the finesse.
The king of diamonds was the
[much needed ninth trick. If South
h^d won the trick with the ace
and then established his club suit,
declarer would have taken the
diamond finesse.
Even though North won the
trick with the queen of diamonds,
he would have nothing to re urn
that would do any damage. De
clarer could make tour diamonds,
two clubs, two ipadei and the ace
of heart*. .

we wish only to speak oi the prin

Beneath the layers of lighter
rock is heavy rock, and we be
lieve that beneath the heavy rock
there is rock containing metal as
you go toward the center. Iron
and nickel are probably the chief
metals.
We have means' of knowing
something about the earth’s in
terior. One way is by observing
the effect of the earth’s gravity
upon the other planets, and then
calculating what it must- weigh.
When that is done, we find that
the earth is far heavier than the
surface rock would indicate.
Therefore the earth must have a
very heavy central core.
This iron - nickel core is called
the centrosphere. It is thought to
be about 4400 miles in diameter.
We assume iron and nickel to
be the principal matter of the in
terior because many of the me
teorites which fall upon the earth
are made chiefly of iron and
nickel: and we believe that me
teorites are stray fragments of
planet material. We believe that
all planets contain the same ma
terials in about the same propor
tions. Since our lithosphere docs
not contain the high proportion of
iron and nickel it-hich meteorites
have, we assume that these ma
terials must be packed closely in
the earth’s inner core.
Lastly, we know that the earth
must have a dense, heavy centro
sphere because of the manner in
which earthquake waves pass
through it. Earthquakes are caus

IN THE CATACOMBS
Most ol the “sights” that travel
ers see quickly fade into dim
memories, but I think a visit to
the catacombs of Rome must re
main vivid for every Christian. In
these caves and corridors he is
brought into real association with
his fellow disciples of the first and
second centuries.
Doubtless some of the saints
who painted Christian symbols on
these walls had seen Jesus in the
flesh, as well as Peter and Paul.
Wonderful is the living faith
which imperial Rome’s might, and
all the insidious forces of pagan
ism, and the arrogant philosophies
of the worldly wise, could not
extirpate. It was a Roman Catho
lic convert who wrote the hymn
that all Protestants sing:
“Faith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire and
sword.”
Out of the catacombs I carried
a kindled consciousness of the
everiiving vitality of our Gospel—
a religion worth suffering and dy
ing for.
For the countless company of
Thy saints who throughout the
’.ges have witnessed a good con
fession, we thank Thee today, our
.Father, and we pray that we may
|follow in their train. Amen.
ed by sudden sharp breaks and
movements in the crust; and vi
brations (called waves) from the
place of the break radiate in all
directions through the earth. A
quake on the opposite side of the
world will send out waves which
reach us after passing through
the center; and we can learn
much about the layers through
which it passes by studying the
type of wave that reaches us and
the rate at which it travels. All
forms of evidence lead to the
same conclusion, that the center
of the earth is occupied by a
heavy metal core.
A quick summary shows us,
then, that the earth is composed
of layers of progressively heavier
material: (1) the atmosphere or
air sphere; (2) the hydrosphere or
water sphere: (3) the lithosphere,
or rock sphere; and (4) a heavy
metal core, the centrosphere.
