 New York, Jan. 12-CUP)-A free ride on the sports merry-go-round:
 Now that the United States Golf association has abandoned its 1942 tournament schedule, the next blow to sports will be the cancellation of night baseball games. Most club owners in eastern cities already are resigned to such ruling, which hit the Pacifica Coast league hardest of all. Commander Jo h n Wechel, the new Navy grid boss, once coached a U. s. s. Idaho foot ball team quarterbacked by Ken Averlin. After watching the erst- while middleweight champion in the ring, I, for one, am willing to attest to his skill as a broken field runner.
 The turf grapevine is buzzing with reports that Sun Again, a three year-old Kentucky Derby hopeful, is the best horse in the Calumet Farm barn by three full lengths not excepting Whirlaway. Inci- dentally, the hard boots in Ken lucky are shying off Alsab as a Derby prospect already because of the jinx which always snacks down great juveniles in Col Matt Winns run of the roses. The boots are on the Ed Bradley bandwagon again, this time with Bless Me, a colt who has won four races and finished second in his other two

Return Of Export Cotton
Authorized by President

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt issued a
proclamation today which would
permit American shippers to return
to this country exported cotton
which has been or may be rejected
by buyers in importing countries not
having an American cotton import
quota
Under import quotas in effect
since 1899, cotton would not be re-
turned from countries not having
a quota. Agriculture Department
officials said there has been a num-
ber of instances Of shipments of
cotton to Canada being rejected and
the shippers suffering heavy losses
because they could not bring the
cotton back to this country for sale
elsewhere. Canada does not have
an import cotton quota.
The import quotas were estab-
lished to prevent shipment back to
this country of American cotton
sold abroad under a Government
export subsidy program.

Rebate Seen in Waving
OF Phone Fees 10 Hotels
{ Earlier Story on Page A.

tEariler StOry on rage h-4.i
Waving of charges. in certain in
stances, for telephone services rem
dered by the Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co. through hotel switch
boards might be considered a form
OF rebate. 1t was suggested this aft
ernoon by Gregory Hankin. chair
man of the District Public Utilities
Commission, during the joint in
quiry of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission and the local reg
ulatory body into charges superim-
posed on regular tariffs by hotels
for phone service through switch
boards.
Mr.. Hankin was questioning David
E. Mccoy, general commercial man
ager OF the telephone company. He
asked why the company waived
charges on service through a hotel
to a guest. which were not paid
for by the guest after showing that
the hotel had attempted to collect
the charge Mr. Mccoy said 1t
merely was q matter of cooperation.
But, Mr. Hankin thought it was
giving a rebate
Mr. Hankin asserted that If the
hotels pay the telephone company
at the rate of cents a message and
then charged the guest S cents for
the call, it amounts to a commission
OF 40 per cent.

Axis Paying Heavy Cost
For Sinkinqs, Admiral Says

ELIZABETH CITY. N. c., April l
P1.-Rear Admiral M. H. Simons.
commandant of the 5th Naval Dis
trict, said today that the activity of
Axis submarines on the Atlantic sea-
board was hitting in a very vital
spot" but declared the Axis had
paid terrible price in both sub
marines and men"
Speaking at the commissioning of
the Navy's new lighter -than-air base
from which will operate anti-sub-
marine craft. Admiral Simons as
serted the new base would mean
more in the 5th district than the
average citizen can possibly appreci-
ate"
He described the submarine activ-
ity as "our worst menace" on the
Atlantic seaboard at present and said
it was perfectly simple for critics to
sit in their homes and Offices and
'call our armed forces inefficient be-
cause they permit these submarines
to sink so many tankers."
The same citizens who criticize
our Navy for not sinking more of
these submarines" he remarked,
glory in the fact that our American
submarines, apparently with COM
plete immunity, operate for weeks
at time in japanese waters and
sink dozens of Japanese ships and
then return to their bases unscathed.
These same citizens can, If they
wish, criticize the Japanese ineffi-
cheney In permitting such a thing to
happen"
Admiral Simons said that with
out undue exaggeration or boastful-
ness, that I, personally, know more
about sinking submarines than most
of those who have seen fit to criti-
cize the country's efforts in this line.
With perfect truth and without
violating any of my orders" he con-
tinued. II can tell you honestly that
the Axis has paid terrible price
in both submarines and men to
achieve her record Of sinkings on
the Atlantic seaboard.
Command Wants to Win.
"It is true that we would sink
more submarines had we more de-
troyers and more planes at our dis
position to use against them. But
it might be well to consider that
had we diverted more destroyers
and more planes to submarine sink
ings, we would have achieved much
less elsewhere. -
1T would be well for the average
citizen to remember that those in
nigh command make their choice
of the disposition of their forces
so as to win this war, and to win
it as fast as possible ','z
Admiral Simons predicted that
the dirigible-for the most part the
type of airships which will operate
from the new base-would greatly
lessen the number of sinkings in
our coastal waters, and the lighter
than-air base at Elizabeth City will
help us to destroy the Axis subma-
rines operating in this vicinity be-
fore their toll mounts higher than
1t Is at present"
