The speaker laments U S government power to halt freight, ration coal, draft sons, or shut factories, yet claims it cannot stop a single man leading four hundred thousand, whose actions disrupt the economy and injure 140 million people. The critique labels this paradox ridiculous and disgusting.
The piece argues War Department leaks show not all top secrets are safe. It calls for an investigation into Congressman Durham and criticizes officials for leaking a purported telegram from General MacArthur. It warns against elevating petty information into top secrets and urges restraint by leadership.
The piece argues that one third of the average income goes to taxes via federal, state, local governments and that politics shapes government. It urges business leaders to engage in politics to avoid rising taxes, warning that apathy could push the nation toward totalitarian control run by those who participate.
Governors push for state level rent control, arguing local supervision better fits conditions and avoids wartime disparities. Critics note unfairness under nationwide rules, citing High Point landlords who raised rents before the freeze and face discrimination afterward. Local administrators seek jurisdiction by state bodies or courts to correct inequities.
Republican senate investigating committee members released secret testimony alleging immorality and lax enforcement by U S forces in Germany. Democrats call politics, while critics ask why the testimony was sealed and who benefits from keeping Americans in the dark.
Representatives from about a dozen chambers of commerce urged better air service at a Raleigh hearing before the state aeronautics commission. The attendees split on how to approach the CAB, with some backing a hard ask and others favoring data driven pressure. The session led to a new statewide aviation group and a push for legislation granting the commission more authority over airport based airline service.
Lynn Nisbet reports the new session will begin with a revised Jenkins bill offering state aid to community hospitals as part of a broader medical care program. It also includes health centers, a four year Chapel Hill medical college with teaching hospital, and indigent-patient aid. The plan faces debate over rural hospital needs versus the medical college focus. Dr. Clarence Poe backs the program, arguing eastern needs and opposing a rich man lobby.
The column critiques press cheer about Molotovs approval on Trieste Danube and disarmament noting Russia gained little and cites past failures like the 1933 treaty. It argues the real issue is intra department struggle and Latin America policy reflected by Braden.
The writer notes mixed views on Braden policies in Latin America, with ambassadors and Sumner Welles urging conciliation against fascism and communism. He cites De Gaulle’s rise, British Labour tensions, Peron in Argentina, and Chiang Kai-shek’s stance as evidence that democracies struggle with communism. The piece argues many favor a new political movement as Molotov adapts.
A wild New York gossip column notes a supreme court judge creating a spectacle in an all night Fifth Avenue venue. Eye witnesses describe psychopathic stunts as spectators ogle.
