Command at Wrightsville Sound.
The Army's guns barked a reply
firing eight rounds on direction
furnished by Hanson. The sub,

Hanson said he learned later
atfer he had been enrolled in the

Civilian Defense records here

Humphrey Cunningham
Serving in Germany
Private First Class Humphrey
Cunningham, grandson of Gait her
McClure, of Waynesville, Houte 1,
has arrived at the Kuropean the
ater army air forces reinforcement
depot, and will soon be assigned
to a permanent station somewhere
in Germany, according to informa
tion received by The Mountaineer
from Furstenfeldbruck, Germany.
While he is at this post, situated
near Munich on the picturesque
wooded slope of a German Alpine
range, Pfc. Cunningham will have
an opportunity to enjoy the scenic
beauties of Southern Bavaria which
made the region popular among
pre-war tourists.
Formerly a prominent Luftwaffe
training school, the army air
forces inforcement depot is one
of the most atttraclive fields in
Europe. At the present lime sev
eral thousand soldiers each month
are processed and given orientation
in their occupational duties at this
key station.
Before entering the service in
May, 1945, Pfc. Cunningham was
a student at the Waynesville Town
ship high school and was later
employed at the Lock Cotton Mills,
at Concord.
Nylons Dropped
From Air Causes
lam In Gotham
NEW YORK Nylon stockings
were literally manna from heaven
to people who picked up colored
tissue paper stockings in the Times
Square area yesterday.
About 10:30 a. m., some 5,000
of them came floating down from
a plane droning over the Rialto.
I'at Helming, who is master of
ceremonies at the Paramount the
ater, released the fistfulls of stock
ing replicas. It was all a stunt
to mark his 36th birthday.
To add to the fun, nobody ex
cept Pat knew which one were
good and which weren't and it
all caused a jam at the Paramount
stage door where Pat made the
certificates good. The catch was
that there' were only 100 pairs of
stockings to be given away and
luck was with holders who had
replicas bearing Pal's autograph.
One woman crawled part way
into a sewer to retrieve hers; an
other woman belled a sailor in the
eve when he made a grab for a
floating sleeking. ..nd a man
strolling in Central Park picked up
six of them, considerably out of
their way. Helming said it was
his idea of a swell birthday cele
bration, but New York police are
not so sure.
Captain Frank Itiley and a
squad of of cops in Times Square
questioned spectators to find out
the altitude of the plane from
which Helming dropped the certifi
cates, and they said they were
also investigating an ordnance
about dropping things on (he city.
Helming says he had civilian aero
nautics authority permission for
Hie flight.
How did he get the nylons to
give away? That's easy. He and
his wife, he said, stood in lines for
the last coiqile of months.

BRITONS IN U.S. FOR UNO PARLEY

WITH THE COLUMNISTS
NO LONGER MYSTEKY Dorothy Thompson
In short. Soviet and Conutern policy is revealed to be the reali
zation of Hitler's power aim, and by all of Hitler's methods short of
war; to dominate Ihe Eastern Hemisphere, divide Great Britain, the
United Slates anil France, and undermine (heir societies from
within.
And every Hrilish and American agreement conl i ibuted to its
pcacluT' accomplishment, preeminently the insane "peace'- of
Folsdaiii, the visit to I'anos.sa of Secretary Byrnes after the failure
of London, and Ihe tongue-tied dismay of American journalists
fearful of rocking (he boat.
There is no longer any mystery about Soviet policy. The mystery
is how, slop by step, American and British leadership should have
made decisions or interim concessions, the probable results of
which should hac been obvious to any logical mind.
LET'S (iKOW UP Waller Lippmun
We hac to grow up and become adult enough to realize thai
the world will not lake Us at this valuation of ourselves. We must
not look into our own mirrors and think we are looking out of the
window.
The influence of Ihe United Stales is great. It rests upon the
prestige we acuircd by the valor and skill of our fighting men and
the prodigious achievements of our people al home.
We proved that we can be a great power in a cause which was
the cause of mankind. , lint let us not imagine that this prestige,
which cost so much when il was gained, will remain intact unless
we make the ellorl and pay the price year in. vear out. to preserve
it.
FOREIGN CREDITS Ernest K. Lindlcy
We do not feel that we can spare all the economic strength that
other nations would like In borrow from us. But we can spare a
great deal, without putting any serious strain on ourselves. We
would not worry about the strain, if we were suHicieutly worried
about gelling Ihe kind of peace we want. The use of loans lo
transfuse economic strength into nations which will work with us in
building and maintaining that kind of peace is an effective and in
expensive way of I net hcring our supreme objective.
The maximum of $7.00(1.11(1(1.110(1 in foreign credits, including the
Brtiish loan, proposed in (he Administ rat ion's program is not high,
when you consider Ihe stakes. II may be enough. But it is small
change compared lo what we spent and gave during the war. and
will seem like even smaller change if we lose the peace.
FEED Til EM! Thomas L. Stokes
The voluntary food conservation campaign to help feed l.urnpe,
which President Truman lias enlru led lo the leadership of Herbert
Hoover, can do something tor us anil the rest of the world beyond
its immediate essential aim. if we so will il.
This can be simply staled by saying that sharing with other::
helps lo create sympathy and understanding. And at no lime since
the war ended ha:, there been such a need of this all over the
world.
STORM WARNINGS Joseph and Stewart AIsop
Senator Vandcnherg has spoken. Secretary of State Byrnes has
spoken. Winston Churchill has spoken. One can dispute the wis
dom or unwisdom of what they have said. But one thing cannot
be disputed. Kvery wind in this remarkable succession of speeches
indicates the deepening gravity of Ihe international situation. This
is not mere summer thunder, meaning nothing. II presages an ap
proaching storm. Moreover, il is enliiely possible that the storm
will come at the next meeting of the United Nations Security Coun
cil., which will take place in New York on March 111 or a few days
thereafter.
POINT OF VIEW Ralph W. Page
The American public has become critical of Russian actions and
intentions on three counts. The first is that Moscow reveals a
tendeey to hedge and (iiihble on agreements. II is realized, of
course, that it may reasonably disagree with our interpretation of
terms. But making stub allowances, il seems to our people that
there is a deliberate intent to avoid the spirit, it not the strict
working of commitments.
From our point ol view it also looks as if Ihe Soviets are engaged
in a kind of political and economic aggression all along their
borders. Their gestures against Turkey, against Iran, against the
Chinese in Manchuria. I heir demands for control of Tripolitania and
veto over Ihe policies to be pursued in Japan, all appear to the
American mind as unilateral maneuvers paterned after the con
ventional type of imperialistic politics.
HEALTHFUL ECONOMY Marquis W. Childs
Churchill's speech, it seems to me, overlooks a vital truth. That
is that you cannot fight the "Communist nicancc" by armed alli
ances. So long as our own economy is a healthy, going economy, wc are
in no danger here at home. That is an example to the world. But
also Britain and the U. S. must make it clear to colonial and subject
peoples that they mean to help them toward higher standards of
living and toward the freedoms we talk about so glibly in our
speeches.
If mililons of people come to believe there is no hope under our
system millions in India, in Idonesia, in the Middle Fast they
will turn to something else. And it may be communism. Com
munism can only exploit disaffection and discontent that fester in
old resentments and injustices.
A PEACE TREATYSumncr Welles
The Near East has become the scene of an increasing conflict
of interest between the Soviet Union, bent upon an expansion of
her influence over that area, and the Western powers, which are
determine to keep open to all nations the channels of communica
tion through the eastern Mediterranean, the Suez Canal and the
Red Sea.
A peace treaty which gives the people of Greece a maximum
assurance of security would constitute a bulwark for a free and
stable order in the eastern Mediterranean.
