great part in holding valuable soil
in place. Many trees furnishing
valuable timber are unable to ac-
complish such a feat.
Although some of the trees reach
height of from so to IS feet. and a
trunk diameter Of feet, they are
generally shrubby. 1t is their long
branching roots, which grow in and
out of the water, that do the con-
servation work. These roots grow
in an arched and entangled fashion
which catches and holds the rich
silt swept into the rivers and the
flotsam of the sea. The soil be-
comes fixed and the shore line ex-
tended. The trees prevent erosion,
and as they slowly advance in the
shallow water, the deposit about
their roots Is excellent as growing
places for other plants.
Thus, miles of shore line are built
up or held in check, the pioneer
land builders enlarging their own
borders until they become so nu-
merous they have to be thinned out.

green. The leaves are opposite and
simple, their texture leathery. The
flowers have fringed petals and are
borne in clusters. The fruit is one
seeded.
The aerial roots thrown out from
limb and trunk. and the habit of
terminating seeds before they fall
enable the mangroves to grow on all
sides Of its range. The secondary
roots cling fast to the soil; the
young maNeroves, as they fall
strike root at varying distances from
the parent tree. At high tide only
the soft green Of the leaves may be
seen. At low tide the architecture
of the root system is a wonderous
mass to study.

tributed.

For CoIIaborationists

BY the Associated Press.
An appeal to the Filipino people
to avoid violence in handling al.
legged collaborationists with the Jap.
anese and to allow the law to take
its regular course was delivered yes
terday by Sergio Osmena, President
of the Philippine Commonwealth.
Osmena's broadcast, via the Voice
of Freedom" on Leyte Island, was
recorded by the Federal Communi-
cations Commission.
The Commonwealth Chief Execu-
tive divided suspected collabora-
tionists into three groups:
l. Those who enthusiastically
joined the Japanese and who de-
served full punishment as provided
by law:
2. Those who continued in public
office to protect the Filipino people
against the invaders;
3. Those who were moved by fear
of the Japanese.
Osmena said "the initial misfor-
tunes Of the American and Filipino
armies left the majority of 1s,000,-
600 Filipinos no other recourse but
to submit to despotic rule If they
were to survive"
The Filipino President highly
praised the guerrillas who despite
great hardships gave battle to the
enemy from every nook and corner
Of the land"

Two Agencies Differ
On Date Children S
Clothes Will Arrive
Winter Gurment
Shortage to Continue
Until Jonuory, WPB Says

The Once Of Price Administration
and War Production Board differed
today over whether recent actions
Of the two agencies in making more
clothing available for infants and
children would come in time to re-
Ieve a shortage in winter clothing.
The OPA said details of the pro-
gram for dollar-and-cents ceilings
for low-cost children's clothing
would be announced in a few days
but 1t cautioned that it might be
four or five months before these
garments appear in retail stores.
Probably February.
A WPB spokesman said its recent
ALLEGATION of 10000 900 yards of cloth
for infants and children's garments
would not make more clothing avail
able much before January or Feb
ruary.
If the OPA prediction proves the
better estimate of the two, then
harassed mothers will have to get
by until spring, when it will be
too late to relieve the shortage OF
winter wear.
No. l shortage in the District
leaving out small size shoes-is
sleeping garments for infants and
small children, leading stores ad-
mitted. Knit underwear comes next
on the shortage list.
One large department store re-
ported it had sold cut its 1914 quota
of sleepers in midsummer and had
no prospect of new supplies until
February. This store was limited
to go per cent of it's 1943 quota o1
qnit-type sleepers and IS per cent
Of its 1943 quota of f1annelette
sleepers.
Sell Out Rapidly.
Another store said its monthly
quota of sleeping garments is
regularly sold out within three days
Apparently no advance advertising
Is necessary, for through some
means mothers manage to hear OF
shipments and stores are flooded
with calls.
Making sleeping garments at home
presents a problem, too. Yard goods
such as fiannelette, are about as
difficult to find as the readymade
garments. Some mothers are MAX
ing over fathers pajamas for junior,
while others are passing on to
friends garments their children have
outgrown.

up the situation by saying: More

wire from the West, asking that &C.

Senate he would oppose confirmation

When the question of confirmation
came up late yesterday, Senator
White arose to ask that 1t go over

had received from another Senator
this being Senator Bushfield, who
was a member Of the Gallinger In
vestigating Subcommittee.
Later, however, Senator White told
reporters: Il don't want any one to
