Today And Tomorrow
By WALTER LIPPMANN
While there is wide and inc. eas
ing recognition that large esonomic
measures wili have to De taken to
avert a collapse in Europe, it
cannot be said too often or too
insistently that it is not possible
to plan them, or put them into ef
fect, from Washing.on alone.
For the que.tion is by no means
only whether Congress and the
people will be willing to appro
priate large sums. It is also
whether the leading countries of
Europe, beginning with Britain
and France, can and will make
Europe capable of receiving and
using large rums effectively.
* * *
There is, it seems to me, a dis
position .in Europe '.o assume that
all depends on whether Congress
will provide the money. But the
liact is that Congres is likely to
provide the money only if, when,
and because the European coun
tries have themselves come to
gether to take convincing meas
ures to help themselves. Then our
aeople will feel that they are in
vesting in the future, and not
merely handing out doles, that
they are providing working capital
for a reorganized European econ
omy and not merely paying the
bills of bankrupt governments.
There is also a disturbing tend
ency' here to assume that a Euro
pean plan of recovery can be made
in America. Mr. Starsen's otherr
wise excellent speech seemed to me
to reflect much too strongly the
_a: _ A1-A ...UV, 1 T-v, on Co
to dispense, we would be paying
the piper and could on the whole
caal the tune. We shall do far bet
ter to tell our European friends
and allies at the outset that we
wish to help them if they will
agree on a common plan of recov
ery; that we can help them sub
stantially only if they do agree;
that the fact they they agree to
collaborate will be infinitely mo:e
important than that their agree
ment meet exactly specifications
which we might wish them to
meet; in short, that a plan which
unites the leading countries of
Europe will find sympathy and
practical support here.
The planning in the State De
partment cannot be carried to its
conclusion until Europe, with
Britain and France taking the in
itiative and the leadership, begins
to plan and to negotiate for its
own recovery. Such a European
plan will show a dollar deficit over
a period of years. Our people can
be persuaded to meet that dollar
deficit if the European plan shows
how and .w-hen the need for Amer
ican grants-in-aid will no longer
exist.
We can, in other words, make
plans here to underwrite a Euro
pean plan that most of the coun
tries of the Continent have agreed
to and are bound by. But we can
not make plans here for European
recovery and then offer to buy Eu
ropean acceptance of an American

plan. Unless the plan is in truth
European, it will not work. An
American plan for Europe could
r.ot work. Any suggestion that we
were imposing our plan would
cause mote trouble than money
could ever cure. So we must wait
until London and Paris begin to
move, and get ready to meet us
half way: They with plans and
agreements for the recovery of
Europe so that it ceases to be so
abnormally dependent on North
America; we with the working
[capital out of American public
funds for the first phase of the
plan until norma! foreign invest
ment becomes feasible.
* * *
In the first phase, the operation
on our side would have many re
semblances to lend-lease. That is
to say, we would be exporting
goods, not against dollars, but
against contributions to the se
curity of this country and its vital
interest in peace.
Under war-time lend-lease we
got in return for our materia] con
tribution the victorious resistance
of our allies. Though we gave a
lot, they gave all they had. Lend
lease was successful not only be
cause of what we gave but because
of what they did.
The same principle will hold if
lend-lease in a new form is to be
established now.

is considered South • Carolina
.teach ave., and south of that is
known as Carolina Beach rd.
All this confusion on one straight
road and yet for months *he city
has had markers planted at in
tersections with South Front st.
printed on them. There is also a
Carolina ave., and a North Caro
lina ave., in Sunset Park to com
pete with a Carolina ave. in Caro
lina Heights and no move has been
made to correct this.
Just one more thing. A check
with residents of Carolina Beach
rd. inside the city limits will re
veal this road is nothing short of
a speedway and especially at night
from say 9 p. m. on into the early
morning hours. This is probably
brougnt on due to visitors riding
back and forth to Carolina Beach
and since there are no curbs and
this stretch resembles an open
highway they lust hit the accelera
tor and let it go.
I realize there are a consider
able number of speeders arrested
or this stretch, but there are still
entirely too many unpunished of
f end?rs.
I think we people of this area
deserve better than this, and it
is up to the city government to en
lighten us as to whether they have
any intention of giving us what
was promised when we were taken
in.

Magician Blackstone Says
Magic Could Prevent War
BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, May 29 — (U.R1—Black
stone, The Great, said tonight that
a little magic sprinkled over the
troubled world could prevent
World W'ar III.
The fluffy - haired, 62-year-old
man of magic wasn’t talking
about pulling rabbits out of hats
or sawing pretty women in half.
He’s ben playing tricks for 49
year: and doing a lot of heavy
tninking, too. He thinks it would
be a good trick to prevent a spell
ot atomic thunder “which would
wreck the world.” Besides it
would solve the big problem which
is in the hair of the leaders of
the United Nations.
“Magic,” he said, “overcomes
frustration. It doesn't have to be
sleight - of - hand. It's nothing but
pure psychology -- applied it' the
right place. If the leaders of the
world would turn their talents to
a little more magic—or psycholo
gy — there wouldn’t be so much
hurt and misery.”
The big shots won’t like it, but
Blackstone said that “politicians
ere nothing more than magicians,
anyhow.”
“They put people under a

Community Hospital
Blood Bank Is Empty
The Community hospital has not
a “single drop of blood” or plasma
for transfusions. Margaret Grem,
superintendent, said yesterday.
Katherin Bennette. county wel
fare worker said,, “If I had a
Negro patient come in urgently in
need of transfusion, he or she
would be out of luck.”
The hospital issued a plea for
blood donors two weeks ago and
the superintendent said that no do
nations have been received.
She said the hospital cannot pay
for blood because of the large
number of charity patients ad
mitted and therefore must rely on
persons willing to give their blood.

CEILING CRASHES,
AAA WORK HALTED
Clinton Workers Escape
Injury As Plaster Hurls
To Floor
Special to The Star
CLINTON, May 29 — The old
saying about roofs falling in on
people very nearly happened here
this afternoon, with the single
exception of what fell was not the
roof but the ceiling.
The AAA office, located on the
third floor of the courthouse here,
was the scene of peaceful work
—————
today. Peaceful, that is, until about
1:15 this afternoon.
Six or seven ladies were work
ing in the office and vfrere going
about their tasks when one heard
a soft, moaning noise overhead.
She looked up just in time to see
the ceiling at the other end of the
large office begin to sag.
She let out a shriek, which was
heard throughout the courthouse
and everyone in the agriculture
office gazed ceilingward with start
led glances. Without hesitation
everyone fled.
They managed to get out of the
room just in the nick of time, but
only by dodging failing plaster and
crackling electric wires.
Something had given w*ay in the
ceiling and the entire material
covering a space of about 15 feet
by 50 feet crashed to the floor. All
working in the office at the time
COUPLE PERMITTED
TO MOVE RESIDENCE
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Yott, 912
South Fifth street, are going to
move out of the neighborhood and
will do so within a week. So Judge
Winfield Smith yesterday in Re
corder’s court found them not
guilty and continued the case.
L. B. Rourk was the complaining
witness. He testified that while in
bed in his house next door to the
Yott’s, May 17, he heard the
couple cursing him.
It all started over his dog, said
escaped without harm but the
cloud of dust which resulted
blanketed the entire courthouse
for several minutes.
All business in the AAA office
was adjourned for the day._
Rourk, tearing up the garden of
the Yott’s and the location of a
fence that was built between the
two properties. Rourk charged the
Yotts with disorderly conduct.
L. T. Stephens brought into court
on a charge of non-support lodgeo
by his wife, pleaded guilty. The
husband, who said he only this
week had obtained employment,
agreed to pay his wife $10 weekly.
The court continued the case until
Saturday to see that the promise
is carried out.
Eream Bellamy, Negress, drew a
60-day suspended sentence on a
charge of possession of non-tax
paid liquor. ABC officers testified
that they raided her nome May 17
and as they came up to the house,
she ran from the front porch into
the kitchen, grabbed a jar contain
ing liquor, dumped it into a slop
