Sinbad, Coast Guard Mascot,
Loses Foreign Port Liberty

AN EAST COAST PORT De-
layed)-P)- Sinbad's eyes were
misty and his tail was tucked be-
tween his legs as the captain an
nounced that never again would he
be allowed to make liberty in
a foreign port.
He stood at rigid attention, how
ever, as BELTS dog whose tour
of duty as mascot of the coast
guard combat cutter Campbell has
become legendary.
Sinbad went lover the hill'' in
Sicily after a good conduct re-
cord that stretched along 100000
miles of sea lanes.
Notice of Sinbad's absence was
left with the shore patrol in the
Mediterranean area, and the SIPS
picked him up about a week after
his ship sailed.
A destroyer brought him back to
an east coast port and as it slip
ped into a berth Sinbad began bark
| ing furiously-across the slip lay
the Campbell.
An executive officer of the Camp
bell called for him and boat
swain 'piped' Sinbad aboard his
ship.

A. c. L. Willing To
Accept New Florida
East Coast Proposal
Continued from Page One)


Florida East Coast, the Coast Line
has worked in very close utilization
with that railroad, and Coast Line S
transportation service from and to
the east coast of Florida has been
rendered exclusively by it's opera
ton as direct connection of the
Florida East Coast. Years ago the
two companies established at Jack
sonville joint freight terminals for
interchange OF northbound and
southbound traffic. The two rail-
roads have jointly extended their
through route to Havana, Cuba, by
the medium of common ownership
and operation, temporarily suspend
ed during the war emergency, of
Peninsular - Occidental Steamship
Company" Mr.. Davis said.
''In addition to it's traffic inter-
change with the Florida East Coast
railway, the Coast Line has, during
same period, been handling from
and to central and south Florida
substantially the same type of
freight traffic, also passenger trav-
Ell, as is being handled by the Flori-
da East Coast. All through passen-
ger service of the Florida East
Coast from and to eastern cities is
and for Years has been in connec-
ton with the Coast Line. The same
is true as to through passenger
trains between Chicago, st. Louis
and other Western cities and the
east coast of Florida. Freight trains
Of the Coast Line in operation
north of Jacksonville handle not
only freight traffic from and to
central and south Florida but also
in same trains freight traffic from
and to the east coast of Florida in
connection with the Florida East
Coast. The geographical location of
the Florida East Coast Railway in
respect to that of the Coast Line is
such that the Florida East Coast
is in a sense practical extension
of the rails of the Coast Line from
and to the east coast of Florida,
which territory the Atlantic Coast
Line does not serve except in con-
nection with the Florida East Coast.
Certain holders of First and Re
funding mortgage bonds of Flori-
da East Coast railway have been in
with the management
of the Coast, Line, requesting the
latter to permit a revised plan of
organization to be submitted to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, the purpose of which would
be to enable operation of the Florl-
da East Coast property as part OF
the Atlantic Coast Line system
and these negotiations have neen
consummated by the filing by those
bondholders, understood to be NIL
nority groups, of petition to the
commission on Thursday, Novem-
Der 9th, requesting the commission

Continuation OF Crop
ALLEGATIONS Agreed On
By Burley Tobacco Men

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-CP)-
Continuance of crop ALLEGATIONS
was agreed upon by hurley tobacco
men at meeting today with the
industry advisory committee of
the War Food Administration.
AS result, officials said private
", VIA probably will issue short
ly. an orde- making specific alloca-
tions on the 1944-45 crop among
growers, warehousemen, manufac-
turers and dealers.
ALLEGATIONS have been in effect
during the last two years but some
tobacco interests wanted to con-
slider whether a big new crop
obviated any necessity for continu-
ance of the plan. They decided at
the meeting that ALLEGATIONS for at
least another crop year is desir-
able.

TOBACCO PRICES,
QUALITY IMPROVE
Bv The Associated Press

Continued improvement IN
nrices and quality and consider
able lighter sales volume high
lignted the five-day sales week
resumed last week on North Caro-
lima and Virginia flue-cured tobac-
co markets, the War Food Ad-
n,inistration and the North Caro-
lima and Virginia Departments
of Agriculture said.
Most grade prices were STEADY
but Strengthening was noticed
in common leaf and nondescrlpt
on all markets, the VIA said.
Eastern belt market, with
lighter sales expected for the re-
mainder of the season, reported
fairly heavy volume for the week
as a whole and season high
weekly average of $45.26, 81
cents above last weeks average.
Total weekly sales, 26,9O4, 022
pounds, brought the gross sales for
the season to 1913, 1905 pounds at
an average of $42.72. Greatest in
creasees occurred in nondescript,
up from ST to S., and some grades
of green leaf advance 81 to 81.
Demand continued strong for all
qualities On middle belt markets
and sales averaged $45.54, the
highest weekly figure for the sea-
son and go cents above the pre-
vious week. Nondescript showed
the largest gains with increases
ranging from 81 to So. Low and
common leaf grades advanced
from ST to 81, while most other
qualities were steady to 81 high
er. Sales for the week amounted
to 1882, 618 pounds, bringing the
season gross sales to 110,609, 681,
at an average of $42.78 per nun
dred pounds.

ceive such plan. Afterwards, if the
plan receives approval of the COM
mission as filed or as the COM
mission may amend it, it would be
submitted to the Federal court for
consideration. The Atlantic Coast
Line has signified its willingness to
accept the plan if approved and
thereafter operate the property as
part of the Atlantic Coast Line
system.
Operation of the Florida East
Coast property will remain in the
hands of the trustees, reporting to
the court, rather than in control of
any of its security holders, present
or future, until some plan for flu
ture operation has the sanction of
the commission and the court.
TT is believed that at any hear
ings the Commission may hold a
predominant public interest can be
shown which would justify the oper-
alton Of the Florida East Coast
property as part of the Atlantic
Coast Line. In addition to being
predominantly in the public inter-
est, the plan now proposed, in my
opinion, is from a financial stand
point more favorable to the present
creditors than any plan heretofore
considered.
TT is recognized, of course, that
the financial responsibility which
under the proposed plan the Allan
tic Coast Line would assume must
also be considered by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission whose
would be necessary before
the Coast Line can assume the adj
financial responsibility in
Mr.. Davis stated.
Also in the public interest, Mr..
Davis said that the existing joint
through routes tic and from Florida
East Coast Railway territory in
connection with Southern Railway
System and with Seaboard Rail-
way would not be closed; thus ship
pers and receivers of freight IN
Florida East Coast territory would
continue to have the benefit OF all
joint through routes now existing.
Should the ICC and Federal court
approve the plan proposed or sub
stantially that plan, the Coast Line
will retain the officers and all other
employed by the trustees; thus
none OF the officers or employees of
the trustees would personally be
adversely affected by operation of
the property by the Coast Line, he
added.

other disabilities makes it possible
to detect cases which might other
wise be missed until too late.
3. Pension anG other systems of
VA make it possible to keep close
contact with cancer victims who
have been discharged from hos
pitfalls thus allowing broader pic
ture of the outcome of cases than
lis usually possible among persons
discharged from private hospitals.
From July l, 1912, through June
80, 1914, there were 954 veterans
of the present war admitted to
veterans hospitals suffering from
malignancies. OF there, 276 died,
SGT have been discharged as i'm
proved or because their families
wanted them at home, and III
still remain in hospitals.
Va has not yet prepared an esti-
mate of future cases among vet
Grams of the present war, but some
idea may be obtained from these
estimates and conceptions:
Back in 1880 Va drew up an
estimate of cancer expectancy
among veterans of the first world
war, the Spanish-American war
and the Civil war up to 1851.
1t was estimated that in 1880
there were 9,05o veterans Of the
three wars then affected with can
Ger and that in 1851 approximate
ly 1880 veterans will be suffer-
ing from malgnancies.
Remember, these estimates do
not include veterans of the present
war.

Associated Press Science Writer

L
WASHINGTON, Nov. II. - The
Veterans Administration is faced
with an ever mounting problem
of cancer.
To meet it, VA says it has a
program designed not only to cope
with actual cases but to throw new
light on the nations No. 2 killer.
H1eart disease is No. y
There is no evidence at present
to indicate that military service
contributes to the incidence of can
Ger.
But VA doctors point out that
discharged veterans at the end Of
any war make up the largest single
group in the general population.
Probability of cancer development
increases from year to year be-
yond the age Of Is.
Since government disqualification
is open to all veterans of all U.
S. wars, the doctors say, it is rea-
sonable to state that medical men
of VA now see and will continue
to see more cases of cancer than
any single hospital unit of t h e
medical profession.
VA already has six special "tu-
NOR clinics and plans are now
being completed for another.
These seven institutions will have
total bed space of 2.100 beds.
Since the average stay of cancer
patient in a hospital is about go
days, that would mean that about
10000 patients year could be
treated if necessary.
VAS facilities for treating cam
Ger do not differ from those Of
ether cancer hospitals - surgery,
radium and deep X-ray treatment
but VA doctors say they have
these advantages over civilian doc
tors:
l. The organization of veterans
groups makes it relatively easy
for VA to spread information to
bring about early reporting of
cases.

POSTWAR CREDITS
WILL BE TALKED
BY BUSINESSMEN
By THOMAS HAGEN :h, Ga;+or


Associated Press Financial 1"i'o'
RYE. N. Y, Nov. 1l...lR'--he
question of postwar credits is the
principal topic of discussion at the
International business conference
Eric A Johnston, president of the
Tinted States Chamber of Com
merce, said today.
every nation represented here
has postwar plans, but they al
need money" Johnston said at
press conference. They've come
here to find out how to get it. -
Johnston, who opened the con-
ference yesterday on key
note of the good neighbor policy
among lal nations, said ne thought
the United States could we'll sup
DIV the capital for postwar expan-
sion abroad, but added that it
should be in the form of partner
ship capital"
"The only way we can be sure
of our money abroad is to invest
It in specific projects such as tex
tile -. mills, chemical plants and
things like that" he said. I'm
not in favor Of supplying capital
through bonds. don't want to see
our money go into swimming pools
or parks or into the hands OF poll
ticians abroad"
The Chamber of Commerce head
gave his views as the more than
BOO conference delegates and their
advisers began their group discus
sions on the eight subjects which
make up the conference ageEda:
cartels, currency, transport alton,
commercial policy of nations, i'll
vestments, raw materials and FOOD
stuffs, private enterprise and IN
disqualification in new areas.
These latter two subjects were
stressed as being of vital impor-
lance to Latin American countries
by leopold H. Palazuelos, Mex
co City banker who heads the Mex
lean delegation and who is chair
man of the conference group on
private enterprise.
Speaking Of Mexico's postwar
plans, he said that his country had
accumulated, through watime e3-
ports, a credit balance of more
than 5000, 100000, the greater part
of which he said Mexico hoped to
spend in this country for indus
trial machinery. He expressed the
hope that free enterprise would be
allowed to flourish after the war
and thai Mexico would be per-
mitted to obtain the goods it want
ed through normal channels Of
trade.
But as long as export controls
were maintained, he continued,
it was the hope of businessmen
in Mexico that the United States
would allocate to his country the |
machinery necessary for industrial
expansion and not too much of
W h a t he called "superfluous
goods. These he identified as ra-
dos, ice boxes and similar items.
Calling his nation typical of all
Latin American countries, he said
Mexico had plans for the expan.
sion of such industries as cotton
textiles, steel and oil.

Veterans Administration Makes Plans
To Take Care OfBig Cancer Problem

Is men per year out Of every 1O0,-
COG in the service. In the Army of
100000 this would mean 1925
cases a year. Twenty per cent of
the cases admitted to hospitals
have died.
Now, listen to First Lieut.. Will
liam G. Cahan of the army medi-
cal corps, who discusses cancer
in the armed forces'' in the Mill
tary Surgeon, official publication
of the association of military sur
geons of the United States.
Stating that cancer causes more
than 100000 deaths a year in the
nations general population, Cahan
says:
"It stands to reason that cancer
has appeared and can be expected
to appear among the millions of
citizens that comprise our present
army. 1t is estimated statistically
that $50 to 1000 new cases per one
million individuals in the armed
forces will occur each year.
I'm the 30-39 year-old group sc
per cent of all the deaths in pre-
war life were from cancer. at 40
to 40 it has increased to 118 per
cent, and at so to SO years of age,
it has jumped to 14.75 per cent!
"More dramatically, perhaps, it
can be predicted statistically that
colonies, majors and other army
officers will have cancer this
year"
Cahan offers the further state
ment that the admission Of women
to the armed forces poses another
problem because "there will nee
essarily be tumors peculiar to their
