The Tankers' luck didn't hold true
in their game Monday night with
the Station Hospital Team. In a
Superbly played game the 758th lost

We. take our hats off to the Station
Hospital team and hope fondly that
We will be able to meet them again
in the not-too-distant future.
Tankers Defeat Davis Monthan
Team. - In a brilliant showing of
sportsmanship by both teams the
Tankers defeated the Davis Mon
than basketball team 1881 at the
Field House Thursday night. Both
teams were evenly matched and it
was a hard fought battle from the
first basket. The game was played
five minutes overtime because of a
tie at 81 all. The Tankers then
plunged through to win the game
in the final two minutes of play,
1881.
Medics Give Banquet.-The mem
berS of the Medical Detachment

Plans Made for Increase
In Home for AGED Inmates

Welfare and citizen group repre-
sentatives are considering plans ad-
vanced by Rsy L. Huff, District
director Of Public Welfare, to meet
the anticipated postwar increase in
residents at the Home for the Aged
and Infirm at Blue Plains. Among
Immediate needs under considera-
ton IS replacement of the power
and kitchen units at the home.
Mr.. Hun, at a meeting yesterday
at the home, said plans are based
upon the concept of AN adequate
investment to insure an adequate
return" He explained tentative
preparations for q fireproof building
housing bed patients and for units
for ambulatory and mentally i'll res
idents. The new building is to have
20 Inpatient dormitories and 80
single rooms, costs and medical rea-
sons suggesting this arrangement.
Otto j. Cass, superintendent of
the home, said applications for ad-
mittance are expected to increase
after the war. At present, he ex-
planned, the $50 capacity reached in
August, 194l, has fallen to 428 be-
cause many residents were able to
obtain jobs during the war emergen-
cy. The situation Is expected to be
changed when service men and wo-
men return. he said. '.

CHINA APPEALS
FOR QUICK HELP

CHUNGKING, May 10.-P)-An
appeal to the Allies for quick help
to alleviate the suffering of the

July 7 enter the eighth year of
war, was made today by the coun-
sellor of the executive Yuan.

IF the Chinese soldiers haven't

not win battles" he said in a
statement.
In Honan, hetdeclared, the JAP
anese have modified $4,000 to
10000 of their best men and put
into the field 200 tanks, several
hundred armored cars and about
1.50O military trucks to move
troops as needed while the Chinese
have had to fight without enough
heavy arms and most of the time
have had to move afoot.
The Chinese Army and people
have made and are making i'm

TODAY and TOMORROW
BY WALTER LIPPMANN

The point at which official reti-
cense interferes most seriously with
adequate public understanding of
the war is not, I believe, in things
like the Patton incident or a tragic
accident like the shooting down of
the transport planes over Sicily.
It is n not providing the civil
ians with a reasonably clear pic
ture of the general military situa-
tion-of where, in fact, the Japa-
nese and German forces are and
Of how the United Nations forces
are arrayed to deal with them.
Naturally, the high command
can say nothing whatever about
the disposition of our forces. AL
though the enemy may know
good deal about it, he almost GER
tainly does not know all about it.
What is even more important, if
he cannot be entirely sure when
his information is correct and
when it is not he is beset with
doubt about even his correct in
formation. For reasons like this
the censorship is entirely JUST
fled in withholding information
about military movements which,
it would seem, must be known to
practically every one and certain
ly to energetic enemy agents. 1t
is very useful to keep the enemy
command wondring just how far
