Being Negotiated by U. S.

! States. State Department Off
Gals declared today that no such
privileges are being asked or grant
ed.
Pan American Always already
enjoys landing rights in Lisbon,
under an exclusive contract with
the government of Portugal. This
position is threatened by the new
agreement with Spain, which would
permit other United States air
lines to hop over Portugal for land
ings in Madrid.
Spain, it was pointed out, will
enjoy advantages from the new
agreement in the form OF improved
contact and communication with
the western hemisphere AS a
point on a transatlantic opera
ton, Spain would receive an un-
precedented trade stimulus.
Following an agreement lin prin-
ciple' on the diplomatic level. the
details OF the landing sites in the
various cities are being worked
out by an American commission
now in Madrid, headed by Charles

ministrator.

Army Plans
Tool Salvage

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-UP- The
ST. Louis Ordnance Depot has been
made the national center for tool
reclamation under a new plan like
ly to save the taxpayers from 30 to
so million dollars a year, the Ord
nance Department announced re-
Gently through Maj. A. H. Gardner,
Jr, commanding officer OF the
Lake City Ordnance Plant near
here.
Troop units about to be sent
abroad surrender the tools they
have used In training and are is.
sued factory-new equipment upon
arrival overseas. Under the previ-
Gus set-up tools left behind were
scattered among various ordnance
depots for reclamation. Centraliza-
ton OF reclamation in st. Louis not
only will effect large monetary saw
ings, Maj. Gardner pointed out, but
will forestall consumption OF criti-
cal man hours and materials in the
manufacture OF new tools.
The new plan provides that all
tools left behind in Army camps
by troops sent overseas shall be
gathered up and rushed to the st.
Louis Ordnance Depot to be re-
cleaned, repaired, reconditioned and
made virtually as good as new. The
reclaimed tools are then classified,
packed, and stored for subsequent
redistribution to ground and air
forces still in training or to be ac-
tivated. Tools that are damaged
beyond repair are promptly conver.-
ed into salvage.
The reclamation program In
cludes wrenches, hammers, files,
shoyels. axes, picks, screwdrivers,
grease cups, drills, air compressors,
blow torches, chains, oil cans,
brushes, rubber hose and even rope.
Used tools are pouring into St.
Louis at the rate OF 10 to II car
loads in a day, Maj GardneS said,
with the daily volume expected
soon TO increase to so or 40 car
loads.
The value OF tools already re-
claimed by ordnance in the first
three weeks under the st. Louis
plan exceeded one million dollars.
The st. Louis Ordnance Depot has
been the tools and equipment sup
ply center for the Army since it's
establishment nearly two years ago,
Maj. Gardner said. Capitalization Of
tool reclamation at this depot was
a natural and logical development,
according to the officer.

Crops Top Quality
Despite Rust, Wilt

Lansing. July 22-AP-Although
dry weather and wilt and rust have
injured some Michigan truck crops,
the general outlook Is favorable,
the Federal-State Crop Reporting
Service said Friday.
The report said the cantaloupe
crop IS making good progress ex-
cept for some rust and wilt. and a
light movement from early fields
will start next week. The early car
rot crop looks good, but most OF
the acreage has poor stands be-
cause Of hot, dry weather. Some
fields were a total loss. the service
reported.
The celery supply has reached
its peak, and the crop is in good
condition. the service said. All ear
ly sections are in production. Har-
vest of early tomatoes started last
week and is expected to be in good
volume by the last of the month.
The service said the onion crop
Is progressing well, although the
Ionia County crop was somewhat
damaged by wind and thrips.

miles, more or less. Senate Bill
No, 5l9, as passed by the House

Conclusion
Democracy will survive the pres
ent threat and reach out to embrace
larger number of people. The func-
ton of the college in the postwar
world will depend, in large mea-
sure, upon the nature Of that world.
No one would presume to say now
what it will be like, but there IS
one thing of which we can be GER
tain, there will be greater need
than now for trained men and wo-
men. Mississippi is one of the few
remaining Southern states which
does not give its Negro youth the
opportunity for training in a first
class, A grade college, and it is
their greatest hope that you will
remove this handicap.

In making up our budget, esti-

Income from student fees is anti
cipated to be less for the ensuing
biennium than for the present BIZ
ennium by at least $24O15.25. Since
there are certain elements of cost
in an institution which are con-
slant without regard to the num-
Der enrolled, surely we are hopeful
that this amount will be replaced
through increase in our appropria-
ton.
The Future
The college is faced with a three
fold problem: Cd how can the
largest contribution be made to
winning the war; (2) how can it
preserve the fundamentals of its
varied educational program while
making this contribution; CD how
can it do both of these and at the
same time get itself ready to take
advantage of the opportunities for
service to soldiers and citizens
which the return of peace will
bring.
The fact that the college was Of
fered to the War Department for
one of the many military training
programs as a further contribution
to the war effort, but was not ac-
cepted because of inadequate facil-
tiles, is highly suggestive as to
needs. The future will require.
first of all, that the college be made
more accessible to the people whom
it serves, and others who find it
necessary to maintain contact with
it. The only effective way this can
