Larger tobacco Crop Urged
In Prince Georges County

DR.. T. B. Symons, director of the
University of Maryland extension
service, urged last night that serious
consideration be given to doubling
the tobacco acreage in Prince

and lack of tobacco barns are the
chief obstacles to large tobacco pro-
duction in the area, he said, point
ing out, however, that these can
be overcome when we have nerve.

BIAK ISLAND, Dutch New
Guinea, June 26-(DelayedD -
CP)-Yank soldiers invading re-
mote Biak Island have for the
first time encountered natives
whom they aptly can describe
as "savages.
Unlike the coastal villagers of
mainland New Guinea, the lit
tie black men and women of
Biak bear no evidence of mis-
sionary influence or any school
ing. Fierce, unkept, virtually
unclothed, they came out Of the
hills ten days after the Ameri-
cans first landed.
They came not in friendship.
They came in fear, seeking
sanctuary from hell of explo-
sives. They carried their infants,
their crude fishnets, their jave-
Unlike spears, needle-pointed.
Sgt. William Moddemeyer of
Dayton, Ore, who helped ques-
ton the patriarch of one family
of 10, said the natives had con-
trasted the unopposed occupa-
ton of Biak by the japanese
with the blood and thunder ar
rival of the Americans and had
drawn their own conclusions.
