than 100000 worth of warlike

Situation Is Confused.
Thus far the many millions have
poured in so quickly and so unex-
pectedly, that the situation in the
South as whole Is confused.
There is not a single Southern
State, however, whose economic
position has not been improved in
some way by the defense effort, a
survey by the Associated Press
shows.
Many small communities, for gen.
erations attuned to the leisurely
tempo of agricultural activities, sud-
denly have found themselves the
center of tremendous industrial ac-
tivity, with an influx of thousands
of skilled workers changing their
entire outlook.

Commissioner Bryant also said q

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Sept.
6.-The 14th annual revival of the
pre- Revolutionary Dog Mart will be
held here September 26, Edwin H.
Gibson, general chairman, an
nounced today.
Chief feature of this years revival
will be the Pamunkey Indians who
will come from their small reserva-

about 100 Indians remain there to-
day. Chief Walter S. Brady said
many had been drawn away by we'll

According to tradition, the Dog
Mart was started by the Colonists
prior to the Revolutionary War as
a means of obtaining skins, beads
and various ornaments from the
Indians. Dogs brought over from
England by the white men were
highly priced by the Indians and
once each year a truce was called
while the groups gathered to barter.

Chairman Mansfield of the House
Rivers and Harbors Committee, yes
terday proposed that gasoline be
carried through intracoastal water
ways from the Texas oil fields to
the East Coast on shallow draft
barges and towboats.
Last week Chairman Land of the
Maritime Commission suggested to
Congress that 100 oil barges be con-
structed and later called for bids
on the project.
Mr.. Mansfield sent letter to
Chairman Land proposing use of the
intracoastal waterway. According to
his plan there would be available
from Corpus Christi, Eek, to Ap-
palachicola, Fla, and from Jack
sonville, Fla, to Trenton, N. j.,

Backs Lands Proposal.
The Texans letter in effect backs
Admiral Lands request for con-
struction of the inland water iees.
It suggest that you consider build
ing barges and towboats for our
inland waterways" the letter stated.
''In many respects inland waterway
TRANSFORMATION for defense purposes
and an almost unlimited number OF
depots could be located along our
inland waterways" Representative
Mansfield declared. ,
The Texas Representative pointed
out that gasoline could be carried
In canal barges from Texas ana
Baton Rouge, La. to the eastern
approaches to the intracoastal canal.
From this point, he added, the fuel
could be transferred to a pipeline
or to railroad tank cars for trans
uortation to Jacksonville and then
for delivery by barges along the
Eastern seaboard.
Mr.. Mansfield also pointed out
In his letter to Admiral Land that
barge shipments easily could be
made to the Midwes by way OF the
Mississippi River. The Representa-
tive also pointed out the facility
with which gasoline could be trans
ported by barge to rail heads for
delivery at inland points.
Advantages Cited.
"A considerable quantity OF gaSo-
line is now carried North from
Baton Rouge by barges on the Mis-
sissippi River, but great deal more
could be carried on this river, on
its tributaries, and on the intra-
coastal waterways mentioned. I sug-
pest that YOU consider building
barges and towboats for our inland
waterways. In many respects, ne
wrote, inland waterway transporta-
ton has advantages over sea- going
TRANSFORMATION for defense purposes
and an almost unlimited number

While Chairman Mansfield was
seeking to find means for increased
deliveries of oil products to the
Eastern Seaboard, the American
Automobile Association announced
there was a widespread disregard
by gasoline retailers in this area
for the fair price schedule estab-
iished by Leon Henderson, price ad-
ministrator, recently.

White wound up the season last
Sunday with an average of 1873

returns.
Goldberg has one more game to
play, against the Chicago Bears Sun

II kickoff returns. However. his
average of 24.1 yards try is almost

who did his college tossing for Tulsa
and began his pro career with the

Because standing of passers is
computed by adding their position,
based on number of compilations, to

inversely, Isbell is ranked No. l,

According to the total yardage
gained by Baugh and Thompson,
there's only half yards difference
in the average length of their
passes, Baugh gaining an average
of 116 yards per heave and Thomp-
son 112. Each has thrown seven
