Sponges Reach Immense
Size Gathering Difficult

In their natural state some
sponges grow to gigantic sizes.
One recently fished from a great
sponge bed off the Bahamas
measured ten feet in girth and
weighed 100 pounds when dried.
Capturing such a monster is hard
work. The fisherman has to de-
tach its root with his harpoon, a
hooked bamboo rod from 20 to
80 feet long, and then calls in
numerous helpers to assist in the
catch. When the gelatinous mass
reaches the surface, a diver strips
1t Of its trimmings.

Hopeful Tinge

That is the reason that almost
overnight, the atmosphere surround
ing Sino-America contacts in Wash
ington has taken on a more hopeful
tinge. And the optimism Of the
Chinese has been greatly helped by
the success of the Chinese troops
fighting under General Stilwel and
the Chinese offensive moving out of
China toward a contact with Still
wells army.
This military operation too, will
be more than a mere military vic
tory, If it is successful. Again, the
psychological element is important.
Success in Burma means the juno
ture of the Ledo and Burma roads.
There are many miles Of road con-
struction to be completed before the
two highways are actually carrying
heavy traffic over them but, never
theless, when they are joined,
severed artery will be mended,
wound will be healed. The moment
the first allied work trucks begin to
thread their way along this highway
over an unobstructed route from and
to. the outside world, it will be as
If fresh air were once more reach
ing lungs strangling for breath.
When the two highways are
actually joined, they will soon be in
operation, for much American tech
meal engineering skill has been
spent on the Burma road within
China and its carrying capacity
will be greatly increased.
The arrival of the first truck-borne
piece of freight and the handclasp
of the Generalissimo and Vice Presi-
dent Wallace will be more than
political gesture, it will be renewal
Of the friendship which has meant
so much to China for more than a
century and half.

There has been considerable rival

circulating stories no matter how
true they might be.
Finally, however, the truth came
to be more and more widely dis
seminated, and the papers and
magazines were filled with stories
from writer's returning to America
and freed from the bond Of censor
ship. To some degree, the Chinese
now realize that too much censor.
ship has hurt them.
Threatened With Collapse
Personally I think this publicity
has served to help rather than hurt.
In any case, the time came when
something had to be done. China
was threatened with collapse right
at the moment when bases within
her territory were becoming vital in
the final assault on Japan.
A courtesy visit from high Off
cial became not only wise move
but necessity, and there are
reasons, not Immediately evident on
the surface, why Vice President
Wallace's trip may do much to ale
viate China's difficulties.
In the first place, whatever you
may think of the views expressed
by Vice President Wallace or how
well you think you understand them,
the Chinese believe first, that he
symbolizes the traditional friendship
of America for China; and second,
that he understands their problems.
Then there is another vital factor,
important from the standpoint OF the
morale of the Chinese people and
their support of the present govern
ment, Mr.. Wallace is the second
highest officer Of our government.
Face counts high in the Far East.
This official visit will give face to
the Chungking government.
It is clear that these factors are
psychological and the intelligent
Chinese, who are exceedingly wise
in such matters, realize that fact,
and count upon it highly.
They feel, too, (from a more
practical standpoint) that the Wal
lace visit will tend to increase
American public interest in China
and her troubles and will facilitate
the efforts on the part of their diplo-
mats to receive the goods they
want.

Snead, Favorite, Ties

In Richmond Golf
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Calf, Dec. l6.--
Tournament co-favorite Sam Snead
and Darkhorse Jimmy Walkup, jr.,
tied at 139, fronted the field today
as firing started on the third round
OF the 72-hole Richmond Open golf
tournament.
Snead's place at the head of the
links parade was not unexpected.
Walkup was the surprise of the
tourney.
Unknown to the general golfing
public, the 32-year- entry from
San Antonio, Tex, paced the field
in the first round with a par-shat-
tering 68 and assured a deadlock at
the halfway point when he knocked
in par II for the Richmond Coun-
try Club course.
Snead, in the throes of come
back after 26 months Navy service
that saw him win the recent Port
land Open in his first outing, moved
into 36-hole tie with Walkup on
the final hole yesterday. He
Clipped In from 20 feet for an eagle
3 to post a second round SO. From
here on, the Hot Springs, Va, par
cracker will be the man to beat.
The course, hilly land overlook
ing the bay, is one of those to
Snead's liking. Long hitters like
him aren't penaliZed drastically be-
cause Of heavy wooded rough.
KY Laffoon, Chicago veteran, and
Amateur Ernie Pieper, jr., of San
Jose, Calf, trailed the co-leaders
by two strokes.
A shot behind them, in the 142

Coach Paul Baldridge, captain of
last years Gallaudet basket ball
team who returned to the school

whipped the quint into shape after
an early defeat by Baltimore Loyola.
Gallaudet notched a second straight
win last night with a 38-to-37 de-

ington College five on the Roosevelt
High court.
Gallaudet had a 2l-to-16 lead at
the half, and a 28-to-24 advantage
at the end OF the third quarter
but things started popping in the
final quarter when Washington s
star center, Frank Rook, led an
attack that almost won the game.
A Gallaudet drive in the last five
minutes, however, with Tom Cusca-
den tossing in four points and
Eddie Witczak scoring six, got the
margin of victory.

Barto|o, Drawn Thin
Making Weight, Beats
Roache in Title Tiff
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press,
BOSTON, Dec. 16.-A very peaked
looking Sal Bortolo, his National
Boxing Association featherweight
title intact after its second defense,
today hoped that nature would not
beat him out of it before he gets at
least one big-money bout.
Bartolo, hollow checked and dull
eyed, appeared to confirm reports
that he had to reduce himself from
a full-f1edged lightweight to make
the l26-pound limit for Whistlin'
Willie Roache, rugged Wilmington
Del, Negro, last night at the Boston
Garden.
But despite his wan appearance,
Bartolo managed to retain enough
of his speed. stamina and boxing
skill to win 13 of the Is rounds while
gaining unanimous decision over
Roache, 1t seemed as If Bartolo,
who defeated Roache twice before
winning his NBA crown from Phil
Terranova here last March, antici-
pated every move the Negro made
and had the proper stopper for it.
During the late stages, Roache,
who weighed 125 pounds, appeared
wilted and arm-weary. Several
times he permitted Bartolo to pop
him a dozen or so times in the face
with left before he could muster
enough energy to retaliate.
Since this title defense drew a
crowd of only 1894 and gross gate
receipts of $18,986, Bartolo's share
was far from being an exorbitant
one, just about what he got for the
return bout with Terranova last
May.
Boston Sal. therefore. is hoping
that he will be rendered a suitable
financial inducement to meet Willie
Pep. recognized in New York as the
featherweight champ. before he out
grows that division entirely.
