The Enterprise urges legislative authorization and gubernatorial appointment of a commission to study liquor controls across wet and dry North Carolina counties and beyond. The measure would produce a public report with findings and recommendations while not delaying a state wide prohibition referendum. The proposal asks lawmakers to decide on a state wide vote first, then allow the exhaustive study by impartial researchers to guide future policy. The aim is to obtain solid facts on enforcement and outcomes amid competing systems.
Brig. Gen. Billy Mitchell’s 1921 German ships sinking test is recalled as observers from Japan closely monitor the Bikini atoll atomic bomber exercise. Hon. G Katsuda and Hon. G Shibata photograph and time the sinking, with Katsuda later giving an interview and praising the experiment as very great and exciting for Japanese papers.
The article recalls air power lessons from Mitchell and Langley Field, noting how earlier warnings shaped civilian air raid defense and military planning.

By George Sokolsky notes Republicans monitor columnists and New Republic PAC guides to score potential candidates like Bricker and Dewey. He argues New York and Ohio votes will shape 1946 contests, with Congress battles led by CLO-PAC and internal chairmanship tensions as Herber Brownell nears exit.
The piece argues U S foreign policy falters amid debates on how to handle Russia and communism worldwide. It details Byrnes blue book linking Peron to fascism, its timing, and impact on Peron Tamborini prospects, while noting broader democratic failures in self leadership and a Bulgarian press crackdown. It also mentions South and North American cardinals rebuffing a Spanish embassy dinner, signaling diplomatic fragility.
Paul Mallon argues the West must pursue constructive policy in Spain beyond ousting Franco. He contends achieving a democratic Spain requires building local pro democratic support and alliances, not a purely negative stance that cedes influence to communists.
President Truman delivered a firm rebuke to his top economic aides in a cabinet room meeting.
