Fiery Last.Ha|f Drive
By St. Johns Beats
Georgetown Prep
Hothowoy's Basket Tells
In 34-32 Opener Of
Catholic League

st. Johns staged a dashing last
half drive yesterday to win the
opening basket ball game of the
Catholic School League over George
town Prep, 1892, at ST. Johns.
Coming from under 22-12 handi-
cap at the half, the Johnnies sank
baskets from all angles to pull close
to Prep during the third period and
continued their drive to victory in
the final eight minutes while per-
mitting the Little Hoyas only one
basket.
Hathaway's Shot Decides.
Ben Decker, Bill Cremen, Bud
Eckrich and Ray Schneider COM
bined in the 22-point scoring spree
conducted by Georgetown Prep in
the first half and at the same time
threw up tight zone defense that
had the Johnnies baffled in the
small st. Johns gym. The eventual
winners Tailed only points in the
first period and did little better with
9 in the second.
Coming back after intermission,
the Johnnies displayed new brand
OF speed shooting that disrupted
the Little Hoya zone defense. Chuck
Dudley and John Cooke began the
rally and Dick Hathaway came on
to take over. When the third period
ended the Prep edge had been cut
to 1925 and after that a goal by
Ben Decker was the only point per-
mitted that team.
Three foul toSses by Healy and
baskets by Dudley and Chisari tied
the count at 32-all.
Then Hathaway, who took indi-
vldual honors with II points,
dropped the winning basket from
near midcourt with a minute and
half to go. A succession of jump
balls and freezings by ST. Johns
consumed the remaining moments.

In the final analysis, it was ac-

FASHION I5 DIZZY
 IN 194o
Paris Finds Itself Just An other City : New York
 Made Biggest Noise
By AMY PORTER AP Fashion Editor

Last year was when even men had to read about fashion.
 Paris fell, and the foundations of the fashion industry quivered. Am erica broke out in rash of Am erican design, refugee dressmakers from Paris and London invaded New York, Hollywood said Now ts your turn" while London, Rio de Janeiro. and Berlin protested they were quite able to think up styles for them selves.
 New York, largest clothing manu- featuring center in the world, made the loudest noise, held the biggest fashion openings, enlisted the aid of Mayor LaGuardia in a campaign to make itself the new world capital of style.
 Meanwhile women's clothes under went gradual changes became straighter, simmer than last year, less exaggerated as to shoulder Furs boomed and the 32-inch coat won the popularity contest along with fur-trimmed hats. Milliners fought the hatless trend with crazy and still more crazy hats. Glass" slip pers appeared, made out of coal and air and scientific skill. Strongest fashion influences were South Am erican and patriotic. The year ended in a holiday whirl of glittering beads, fluttering feathers, fantastic jewels.
 Fashion authorities expected no radical silhouette changes in the early months of 1941, but access sories, already on the dizzy side, appeared slated for still greater daf- illness. What they could do to hats that hadn't already been done mo- body but the milliners knew. They wouldn't tell-not until this month.
 This month new spring hats and dream dresses" will be shown at New York's Fashion Futures, style show of unprecedented bigness. This show is the first move in New York s campaign to consolidate it's fashion gains against the time when Paris may once again bid for world style leadership.

U. S. TRADE BALANCE AT
 GREATpEAk
War Business Boosted For. eign 10 Nineteen
 Year High
By ALEXANDER k. GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - War business boos.ed Uncle Sam's fla vorable foreign trade balance in l940 to the highest peak in 19 years, but commerce experts were dubious as to it's value to this country in the long run.
 Exports for the 12 months end ing September l (the first year of the war) were valued at 016,0O0,- : coo, 37 percent increase over the preceding year. Imports aggregated $2,600000,000, giving the U. s. a trade margin of Sl,4O0, 100000. i Government economists point out that most of this business is ar tificial war trade, our normal mar kets in continental Europe having been eliminated or curtailed
 Britons Buy Our Goods
 Most striking gains of the last year were in the shipments to Brit ish countries and to Latin America In July and August, the United Kingdom alone took more than one third of the total U. s. exports, as compared with one-sixth in the same period of 1899; the United Kingdom and Canada together took more than one-half; British coun- tries, as group, took nearly two- thirds.
 Our exports to all of the 20 Latin American republics increased, the aggregate value of $553, l72,000 for the nine months of the war up to June 1 being 5l percent greater than that of the preceding corres- pending period. At the same time our imports from Latin America amounted to $459, ,837 ,000, an ad- vance of 31 percent.
 Thus the balance of merchandise trade, since 1888 adverse to our southern friends, tended to become more unfavorable to them.
 Trade authorities say it is fast becoming a question not of what we can sell to Latin America but what we can buy from those countries to provide them with dollars to keep purchasing our products.
 Europe normally supplies 50 to 55 percent of the import needs of Latin America. The war forced buyers in that region to turn to the United States.
 Germany Loses Trade
 Greatest increase in our exports to South America were in the commodities which were impor- tant to Germany's export trade before the war. These include coal and transport units to Brazil, steel products to Argentina, chemicals to Chile and paper products to all of Latin America.
 To help maintain these gains, Uncle Sam moved in 194O to ex-

PRICE OF RAW MATERIAL KEPT
 STEADY IN 40
Heavy Demand Was Made for Steel, Copper and
 Other Commodities
By PAUL GESNER

NEW YORK.-Key industrial raw materials coursed through l940 with generally modest price changes despite the heavy demand for steel, copper and other commodities.
 At the close, values were just about where they were year ago.
 The outlook for l941 is puzzling, even to the experts.
 With industrial activity in many lines hiking along at the fastest rate in history, consumption of raw materials is heavy. Some cir cles are warning vicious commo- dity price rise may develop if sup plies get tight.
 On the other hand, Washington is bringing pressure to bear on producers to keep prices in line.
