The other conclusion is that the owners of those auto mobiles must have been careless in some manner which at'fVActed the thief or thieves. Possibly the doors were leSft Jinlocked —a not-too-unlikely prospect, since many of us- seldom bother to lock cars during daylight hours. ♦ Just as likely keys were carelessly left in ignitions. - If thht is the case, then the auto-ltess owners can blame * only themselves for their losses. , Little excuse exists for drivers who leave a car at '.‘‘ the curb with the engine running or the keys in the switch. That is merely an invitation to a thief on the lookout for a Joyride. If you don’t lock your car when you leave it, then please take the keys with you. Why invite trouble?

TAese Days noil! mkoukv ■HHHHHHRRHRH) THE MISSING LINK In all the excitement about Europe, with such voluminous and expert testimony about how many divisions we must send to defend the Rhine and other touristic riv ers, little or nothing is being said about Central or South America. It would seem that this is the missing link in our policy. These two American continents are join ed together in an association of mutual self-interest which makes. for a natural alliance. Besides, we are, with increasing rapidity, recog nizing that with the probable ex ception of diamonds, the American continents can provide all essen tial minerals and metals necessary for our production and defense. In fact, with sensible capital invest ments, the American continents could supply all the raw materials essential to our well-being. Yet, so strong Is the European tradition among us that we plunge into constantly more expensive ad ventures on the continent of Europe j while we ignore altogether the great riches on the American con tinents. - Governor Dewey’s metallurgical knowledge failed him when he test ified before Senator Connally’s committee, for the governor seems to have forgotten the resources and reserves of Brazil and Chile in his excitement over how many divisions General Eisenhower requires, some thing about which General Eisen hower has been discreetly silent. Herbert Hoover, who has always been a mining engineer and a met allurgist, who wrote a classical textbook on the subject and trans lated another from the Latin, con tested Governor Dewey's worries in the following language. “I presume Governor Dewey's statement was made in reply to one of mine, and Governor Dewey limited his statement to contin ental United States. I said that it is possible, by proper economic pol* icy, to develop all the ngefessary and critical raw materials Tn the' western hemisphere, f includ* the’ whole hemisphere, and not the Un ited State alope . . . “Now, supplies of many of these crtical commodities are a ‘matter of price. For instance, if there was a sufficient price, and I do not think that it is a very much larger price, probably five cents a pound In the present buying power of money, this country could produce all of the I zinc and all the lead, and the wes tern hemisphere could produce all of the copper that it would require. As to uranium supplies they would be more costly, if we had to get them out of the western hemis phere. There is also cobalt and chromium and there are aluminum •ores. They are all possible at a sufficient price. So that the argu ment does not run in full. It only runs to the expenditures.” So, I looked up a few facts: Antimony ore is available in Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Honduras, The United States and Mexico. Bauxtite, from which aluminum • is made, is Available in British Guiana, Curacao, Jamaica, Surin am, and the United States. Chrome ore is found in the Un ited States and Canada, the Philip pines and Cuba. Cobalt ore is found in the Un ited States and Canada. Copper is found in Chile, Peru and Ecuador, the United States, 1 Canada and Mexico. Lead ore comes from the United States, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecua dor, Canada, Mexico and Newfound land. < ‘ I;, Manganese is found in the United States and Mexico, but more to Brazil, Chile and Cuba. Petroleum comes from the Un ited States, Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia. Tin ore comes to us in vast quan tities from Bolivia. There is also tin ore In Brazil and Chile. Much is said about the lack of tungsten. Argentina, Brazil, the Un ited States, Canada, Mexico, Bol ivia and Peru supply- tungsten. Vanadium comes from Peril and the United States. Zinc comes, from the Argentine, Bolivia, Peru, the United States, Canada and Mexico. This is neither a complete list ot metals nor a complete list of what Is available on the American continents. It is a sample to cut sharply into the argument that these two great continents, which for centuries have been regarded as nature’s treasure house, haws suddenly old Mother Hub bard's cupboard merely to establish a political argument: Brazil alone. With adequate capital investment on the American continent and THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN. N. C. Mil ■ Sr ED SULLIVAN Behind the Scenes There it was, spelled out in black and white, an attractive resort ad in Golf World, published ■at'Pinehurst, N. C., by ex-golf writer Bob Harlow. It was a singularly attractive layout for the Ormond Beach ‘Golf Club, adjacent to the famous Florida hotel: “Play the seaside links where John D. Rockefeller and Ed Snllivaii I • struggled with par, in .the breezes off thl South Atlantic—one of the finest linkslands In the world.” Next time the bank sends a curt note that the checking account has been overdrawn by $1.75, or, Collector of Internal Revenue Johnson dis patches a fearsome invitation to drop in, they’ll get a photostat of the Ormond Beach G. C. ad which links this columnist with the late colossus of Standard Oil. Both the bank and the Treasury Dep’t must conclude that John D. was a golf partner, and while it would be fatal to tell them the truth, it can be revealed to you in complete confidence. But not a word to bank or revenooers! Technically, the ad is correct: Mr. Rockefeller did struggle daily with par at/ Ormond, which is one of the most attractive ocean courses in the World; it’s also true that simultaneously, your reporter struggled with par at Ormond. However, there were some fundamental differences. Mr. Rockefeller died in May, 1937, and left an estate which'Was estimated at $2,400,000,000, by the AP. Others argued he left only a billion dollars. In any event, give* or take a billion dollars, the old gentleman only struggled with par, while your reporter also struggled with the problem of saviqg „enough out of his weekly Ormond wage to buy his ticket back to NeCvork, at the end of the brief season. Struggle proved unequal, so I borrowed SSO from Tommy Armour. ‘'R A There were some other differences, also fundamental. Fi Mr. Rockefeller did,notJ)lay with the hotel baseball team, fqfflwhich JL caught, and, for yhieft the head porter pitched. The infield wa« made Up of bellhops, afi of them from Boston, Dorchester and Roxbuf^l' The outfield consisted of a room clerk, a night watchmalr and an assistant chef. Our coach was Fred Merkle, who had a truck farm near Daytona, and enough of his big league class rubbed off on us to win the Florida hotel championship. Mr. Rockefeller did not'eat with the help, and thus missed the sec ond helpings which we wangled from the waitresses, all from Boston. At night, Mr. Rockefeller did not fish with us, from the bridge over the Halifax River, a stone’s throw from his horiie. These are the dis advantages that go with a billion dollars or even a teeny-weeny million, but Mr. Rockefeller accepted it, chin up. This was back around 1924, just after Frank Munsey, the coroner of Newspaper Row, had bought and shipwrecked the N. Y. Evening Mail. It always seemed to me he went to a lot of effort to put me out of a job. At any event, your reporter was in Florida when the roof fell in, and Grantland Rice, hearing of the personal tragedy, landed the job at Ormond Beach. „ He wks a headliner, even then: regarded by us younger writers with the same awe that a rookie, might regard Babe Ruth. Part of the deal, I think, was Grant’s promise to come to Ormond and he even did that! In my excitement- at his arrival, while welcoming him, I bit hard on a pivot tooth and it fell out. It was right in front, so it was necessary to whisper introductions through clenched teeth. There have been embarrassing moments, but |hat one always re mains in memory. > In addition to acting as golf secretary, which occasionally consist ed of hiring Walter Hagen, Joe Kirkwood, Glenna Collett and other gfllf stark ior exhibition matches, your reporter also served as Ormond correspondent for the various wire services and dailies. ‘On one occasion, this .proved a golden windfall. Mr. Rockefeller invited banking tycoon Gebrge F. Baker down from Sea Island, Ga., for John D.’s daily eight-hole exercises. As this brought together two of the wealthiest, old gentlemen In the world, at golf, all of the big papers of the counrty wired for cov erage. It’s thfe only Rme I ever had two multimillionaires working for me. On space rates, they enriched this reporter by about $134, and It was mighty decent of them,.Slaving over a hot course. - ' ■■ ■!> v— ; r So the Hotel Ormond resort ad, which genially pictures Mr. Rocke feller and this correspondent gallantly "struggling with par in the breezes off the South AtlanUb,” is not completely accurate. It implies a gay,- blithe camaraderie; jwo hail fellows, well met, in a rendezvous At the first tee; the matching of coins for the honor. For practical purposes of Credit, let this impression persist. ‘ Hukhing up Grantland Rice should not be difficult, Fred Merkle never was a stool pigeon, the Ormond team were.right.guys and Tommy 1 Armour was paid back his SBO, to our mutual surprise.

Asheville 1 Frederick mT ' OTHMAN PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay The International Film Festival was on its next to last cocktail when I hove into this resort for South American millionaires and it seem ed like home In Hollywood. The weird thing was that the movie lovelies traveled' thousands upon, thousands of miles via Pan agra/ airlines, steamship across the River Plate, and streamlined train from Montevideo, only -to find themselves in an exact duplicate of the Bellaire country, club outside Los Angeles. Even the labels on the bottles were the same. Such luminaries as Joan Fon taine, Llsbeth Scott, Evelyn Keyes, June Haver, Patricia Neal, Wen dell Corey and John Derek dis covered that the life of a movie star was the same all over, includ ing Latin bobby soxers with auto graph books. Here under the Hollywood palm trees was the Hollywood swimming pool; nearby were, the searchlights in front of the Uruguayan Gra uman’s Chinese. The movie actors nonetheless thought they were see ing life in foreign lands—and who am I to disillusion them? I talked to some of the ladies and they were enchanted with the scene, which so perfectly duplicated what they had left. I could write out an interview with them, but I doubt if you'd be interested and anyhow I quit being a Hollywood correspondent many years ago. So let’s talk a little about Punta del Este, a peninsula pointing into the Atlantic and studded with some of the most fantastically beautiful mansions these tired old eyes ever saw. The town was jammed with act ors, press agents, and government officials eyeing the pretty-pretties in slacks. So I found a room about 10 miles down the pike at a place called Solana del Mar. Fabulous is ‘the word for it. A syndicate of Argentine million aires built here a hptel super de luxe for 50 guests, under the super vision of the Spanish modern ar chitect, Antonio Bonet. Where a pine forest met the sea Bongt built his long, low hotel of granite, ma hogany, and sheets of plate glass two stories tall. Here trees grew inside windows, here a French chef produced food such as I never tasted even in France, and here I thought for sure I was going bankrupt. , The basic roonf rate posted on the door to my room with the ultra modern furniture and the aJlben marble Cocktail table with Ase wrought-Iron* legs’was $36 per ’lay; Only this turned out to be Druguayan dollars, and you get two of those for one American cart wheel. The rate still was high. Or was until the head waiter asked to see my passport. He wanted to make sure I wasn’t a native, because the government has a special deal for us turistas. We get a 45 percent discount on the cost of food,* drink, and lodging, just because we were good enought to visit this happy land. The tax payers foot that part of the bill. So the total cost of my stay in iperhaps the most luxurious hotel I ever saw* was about $9 per night, food, bed, drinks, and tips included. I spent a good deal of my time lolling on the terrace playing South American millionaire while one nozo in a white coat brought me jrange juice and another stood by ilertly to see if my pillows needed adjusting. The managements had seven servants for every guest, and it struck me that I would be silly to waste too much of my time with the cuties from Hollywood. I muJi report even so that they did make an excellent impression on the Uruguayans; they did not drink too much; they got into no fights ex cept perhaps among themselves and the natives liked their first film festival so much they announc ed it would be an annual affair. The big news of the festival I Cap Square (Continued From Page One) | 4,894 during February of. last year. February travel count on the Blue Ridge Parkway was 42,748 compared with 39,160 fdr the second month in 1950. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park counted 28,591 tra velers this year compared with 24,- 811 in February last year. This de spite the fact that the weather was much colder this year and travel conditions in the mountains not so pleasant. Registrations at Lock hart Gaddy’s wild goose refuge in Anson county totaled 24,000 during January and February, compared with 12,000 all of last year. More than 2,000 persons visited Fort Raleigh on Roanoke Island in February, a 73 per cent iboregse over last year.
