A columnist discusses police voluntary giving to needy individuals, noting officers often dip into their own pockets for charity since no public fund exists. The piece cites Durham City Manager Flack’s proposal to curb solicitations of police and city workers, arguing it would let officers continue personal charity privately.
W A B argues John L. Lewis is a dangerous demagogue who shaped miners’ unions, split AFL and CIO, and may trigger a government controlled coal crisis. He warns of a 400,000 miner walkout if Truman does not curb Lewis, while calls for lasting anti demagogue laws to ensure essential resources.
A state convention of white Baptists and a separate Negro Baptist convention met in Savannah Georgia. The white group proposed a joint session with the Negro body, which the latter accepted, signaling a rare display of cross racial fellowship amid a climate of lynchings hooded orders and political tension in the South. The piece notes the event as a sign of enlightenment gains and contrasts northern rhetoric. It also includes unrelated editorials on price controls and a Harvard professor's remark.
Kilroy leaves signatures in the governor’s office visitors register and a peanut note pleads that the governor feed pigeons. Standard Oil photographers near finish of a North Carolina movietone project with Raleigh premiere planned after the 1947 general assembly. The piece notes constitutional limits on sinking fund use and the 1945 debt retirement act complies with those rules.
Legal debate centers on the sinking fund created with bonds totaling $51 585 079 with money dedicated to debt payments. Officials say the constitution bars diversion of sinking fund for salaries or new programs. Any diversion would require a constitutional amendment not voteable before late 1948 and not usable before 1949.
The piece criticizes Henry Wallace Paul Porter and others for predicting a looming recession to frighten voters. It mocks Porter's background and notes his ties to the New Deal and private firms wary of it while dismissing their scare tactics as misguided. It mentions Arch W. Shaw's pamphlet The Individual and the Postwar Period.
By George Sokolsky, Shaw argues postwar recovery follows a natural organic process driven by millions of individuals acting in their own fields. He critiques OPA style intervention and outlines a pattern from peace shock to rising prosperity and lower prices through efficiencies and demand.
Washington notes praise for Byrnes Van denberg and Bevin as they resist Russian pressure to weaken the UN peace process. The piece cites their stand against Communist influence, parallels with Tito and Yugoslavia, and debates over international trusteeship and U S bases in Asia.
The author argues the Truman trusteeship proposal limits Russian veto power over Pacific governance and suggests Russia aims to sabotage the UN trusteeship system. He compares historical territorial seizures by the US and Britain with potential Soviet interference and frames the issue as a contest over global justice and peace.
A brisk tour through Broadway theater, radio and press clips. Reviews of Park Avenue and Bal Negre mix with notes on The American Repertory Theatre and Ibsen's John Gabriel Borkman. Column highlights include Rex Harrison Lilli Palmer mockups and political jabs amid a busy show week.
