Pawtucket, D. l., October l2, - Tho racing strip at NarranganSett Park S being completely resurfaced at 2 cost Of s0o,000, The figure will probably surprise many racing men as well as John e. Fan, who has little idea Of the magnitude of such on undertaking, The work was abe solutely essential, but how to get lt done taxed the ingenuity of the management. The difficulties were overcome, however, by utilizing the privatelysowned snow equipment specially designed and built for tho City Of Boston, with Qansetts per- mament staff supplying the bulk of the nianpower.
 First came the task Of locating the proper type of topsoli, spFingy resilient sandy ioam that would pass . searching test by the Department Of Agriculture experts. Thls was hunted for oil through spring and summer and finally discovered upon An abandoned farm ct Seekonk, Mas. The work of digging and screening the loain began back in July.

Boston, oct. = Dartmouth was . bit dubious about conducting 0 full athletic program this year, but Athletic Director Bill McCarter booked Notre Dame, and that took care of everything. The Green will have 0 lucrative season, aB c mat. ter of fact, B0,000 having seen sur- prising Pennsylvania overpower the lads from the Hanover hills ct Franklin Field.
 Even though several of Dart mouths green Green were not out or handicapped by injuries, Earl Browns boys would give Notre Dame little trouble in the latter'S first appearance In Boston and in the east this fall next Saturday, but the 10000 seats of Fenway Park have been sold since Aug, l.

that unprecedented responsibility.

that unprecedented responsibility.
All Of these questions OF foreign
policy which, as I said earlier, is
the matter Of focusing and express
ing your will in the world outside our
borders, are difficult and often in
volve matters of controversy. Under
our constitutional system the will of
the American people in this field Is
not effective unless it is united will.
II we are divided, we are ineffective.
We are in year Of a national
election in which it is easy to arouse
controversy on almost any subject,
whether or not the subject is an
issue in the campaign.
You. therefore, as we'll as we who
are in public office. bear a great
responsibility. 1t is the responsible
ity of avoiding needless controversy
in the formulation of your judg-
ments. It Is the responsibility for
sober and considered thought and
expression. It Is the responsibility
for patience both with our allies
and with those who must speak for
you with them. Once before in our
lifetime we fell into disunity and
became ineffective in world affairs
by reason of it. Should this happen
again, it will be a tragedy to you
and to your children and to the
world for generations.

Allied Ship Losses
Reported Slightly
Hiqher in March

Losses of Allied merchant vessels
went up slightly last month over
the February figure, it was reported
jointly last night by President Roose-
welt and Prime Minister Churchill.
At the same time, the rate of
sinkings of enemy U-boats was
fully maintained according to the
statement issued here through the
Office of War Information.
The German submarines concen-
trated in vain against northern
supply line to Russia, the American
and British leaders said, but activ-
tiles spread from the Barents Sea,
on the approach to Murmansk, to
the Indian Ocean on the south.
The text of the statement:
March was an active month in
the war against the U-boats which
operated in widely dispersed areas
from the Barents Sea to the In
dian Ocean. ....-..-.
THE enemy has persevered vainly
in strenuous endeavors to disrupt
our flow of supplies to Russia by
the northern route.
Our merchant shipping losses
were mainly incurred in far distant
seas. Though a little higher than
IN February, they were still low
and the rate of sinking U-boats was
fully maintained. .'*
The Allied merchant fleet con-
tinues to improve both in quantity
and quality, but the strength of the
U-boat force remains considerable
and calls for powerful efforts by
surface and air forces"
