The patrol cites 64 killed 414 injured and 4488 arrested in a single month on North Carolina highways, noting many more incidents likely uncounted. The record highlights 431 drunken drivers and overall property and personal damages running into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The essay argues that the OPA aimed to direct production and use, controlling prices and output to ration wartime supplies. It notes such a system requires total subservience, which is incompatible with American political liberty and free enterprise. It warns public opinion and elections undermine centralized directives.
The article argues that public sanction and voluntary compliance shape the success of price controls and blue laws. It criticizes OPA bureaucrats for misplacing experts, notes the need for popular moral support, and questions President Truman's defense of the agency as politics-driven and fading.
A satirical feature mocks Hitler, Mussolini, Rommel, Himmler, Goebbels and other Nazis. It parodies Allied and political figures, laments appeasement, and imagines Hell as a stage for political banter and caricature with references to atomic age fears and contemporary diplomats.
A column discusses thieves who target jewelry, noting a woman who buys diamonds as an investment and musing on thieves valuing riches. It speculates on the Duke and Duchess of Windsor jewelry loss, suggesting figures around 75 to 100 thousand dollars and whether insurance affects the outcome.
The Greensboro News quotes Carl Snavely claiming he never had a back like Charlie Justice, a remark that could reflect praise from Duke’s Wallace Wade or Tennessee’s Robert Neyland, though it seems a case of mistaken identity.

Fourteen Republicans held seats in the state house with representation from Alexander to Wilkes counties. Only three from west of Asheville, five east of the Charlotte corridor, and six from northern mountain counties. The ninth district has re elected Democrat Bob Doughton since 1910, reflecting district patterns.
Washington observers argue President Truman failed to champion CIO priorities, losing support on unemployment insurance and spending bills while backing limited measures. The piece claims CIO leaders pushed pro spending, anti price controls, and appeasement of Russia, feeding a broader critique of his administration.
The author argues that post Roosevelt and Truman era politics push CIO and AFL toward unity on profits, prices, and wages while opposing inflation. He predicts CIO must seize the electoral trend to avoid reinforcing presidential pressure and hopes for a steadier U.S. economy through productive policy and stable prices.
