DETROIT, June 4.-Bad weather
marred memorial program for the
late President Roosevelt in suburban
Hamtramck yesterday and forced
Gov. Maurice Tobin of Massachu-
sets to sacrifice a 16-page address
for the occasion.
Despite rain and cold, however,
the industrial city hard by Detroit
went ahead with a parade watched
by hundreds of citizens and an as
sembly in Keyworth Stadium.
When it came time for Gov. Tobin
to speak, cold drizzle had forced
most of the crowd from the stadium.
The Governor discarded his manu-
script and spoke extemporaneously
for seven minutes. He said Presi-
dent Roosevelt, like Washington and
Lincoln, has the "affectionate re-
membrance of grateful people"
Gov. Tobin described President
Truman as another leader with

Isl Army First Again
As Complete Unit
Leads Return 10 u. ).
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June 4.-The 1st
Army, famed for the "flrsts" it re-
corded in its dash from the Nor
mandy beaches into Germany, today
had another first" to its credit-the
first fighting group to send home
complete unit for redeployment to
the Pacific.
Cramming the deck of the troop
ship Monticello, a former luxury
liner, 1,453 officers and men of the
Army that was the first to invade
continental Europe, the first to span
the Rhine and the first to clasp
hands with the Russians at the Elbe
River, debarked yesterday at New
York harbor pier to the sound of
whistles, sirens and jive-music.
The men were among 10000 vet
Grams of the European struggle who
arrived here aboard three troop
ships and four Liberty ships which
nudged their way into the harbor
through mist that almost shrouded
the Statue Of Liberty.
Ship Bore lists Insignia.
The Monticello, which bore huge
"a" the 1st Army's insignia, fash
ioned from Army tents at Weimar,
Germany, also carried 1889 liberated
prisoners who were taken to Camp
Kilner, N. j., and 400 wounded SOL
diers and sailors who were sent to
Halloran General Hospital, Staten
Island.
The other troopships were the
LIE Jeune, which carried 2,424 liber-
ated Americans, BIT rotational troops
and 7o1 wounded, and the Santa
Margarita, with 119 liberated pris-
oners.
The John B. Hood, one of the Lib
erty ships, which brought home $50
American soldiers, displayed a gap
ing 10-foot hole in its bow, the re-
suit of a collision involving IA ships
off Grand Banks, Newfoundland,
last Sunday when two vessels struck
icebergs.
Joseph Sutton, the Hoods chief
officer, said the ship was one Of So
vessels, travelling $50 feet apart,
WHICH were helpless loT ALMOST d
week from dense fog.
Several Delayed by Damage.
Several of the vessels were so
badly damaged in the collision that
they we're forced to put in at Hal
flax, Nova Scotia, Mr.. Sutton said.
The Hood, he added, had to dispose
of the ships ballast so the damaged
portion would be above waterline.
AS a result of the incident the
vessels involved arrived at their re-
spective American ports at least
day and half overdue.
"We were proceeding most cau-
tiously last Sunday afternoon when
two Of the vessels struck icebergs."
Mr.. Sutton said. This caused IA
others to collide and almost pile up
on each other.
1.-THE soldiers on the Hood-some
released from German prison camps
and naturally nervous-began
shouting, not knowing what had
occurred. Our captain quieted them
by informing them over the ships
public address system that there
was no danger"

approximately 100000 pleasure cars
thronged English highways yester-
day-the first Sunday since restora-

But the motorists, indulging in
their first pleasure driving since it

Wuiting After Boxing
Many a cook who is careful about
the cooking and serving of green
vegetables is casual about the baking
of potatoes. Potatoes generally as a
comfortable vegetable which can 60
in and come out of the oven at the
cooks convenience.
Careful timing of the baking fol-
lowed by prompt serving is import
ant for saving one of the valuable
offerings of this vegetable-Vitamin
c. Tests show that overbaking results
in considerable loss of the vitamin.
Potatoes that stood in the kitchen
for half an hour after baking lost 33
percent of their vitamin c. Those
that stood an hour lost so percent,
and those that stood hours lost 100
percent-or all of the vitamin.
Squeeze For Sweater
A gentle squeeze is better than
the usual twist of the wrist for re-
moving water from a sweater or
other knitted garment after washing.
The twisting and stretching Of wiring
ing may pull the wet wool SO far out
of shape that the sweater may never
regain its original size. The special
lists advise gathering the sweater in
ball between the two hands and
gently squeezing or pressing the
water from it. Then, if the color is
fast, it may be rolled up in bath
towel for an hour or two. The towel
will absorb moisture. Finally, lay
the sweater flat and shaped to its
correct size to dry.

S. Seed may be distributed with
any equipment that will give an
even distribution. The cyclone seed
er is inexpensive and has been used
in Holmes County by most farmers
putting out pasture seed
6. Pasture management was dis
cussed by Mr.. Thompson. Control
grazing was named as the most i'm
portant phase of pasture manage
ment He went on to say that many
pastures in this area never did reach
a very high percent of efficiency
simply because too many cattle per
acre are permitted to Craze them. He
stressed secondly, the Importance OF
using the moving machine. A pas
ture needs to be clipped two or three
times per season in order to give the
best results and thirdly, he stressed
the Importance of placing minerals
in the soils where pastures are to
be built. These minerals must be
disked or plowed into the soil so the
plants can get them even in dry
weather, if you want to build good
pasture. Soils on which minerals are
placed and not plowed in, may give
fair results during a wet season, or
on sandy soil, but as rule, it is
more profitable to plow these min
erals into the, soil SO that plant roots
can reach them, even in dry wealth
er.
Those attending the demonstration
expressed themselves as being high
ly pleased with the plan used by Mr..
Thompson in giving this demonstra-
ton.
The equipment was furnished by
Mr.. R. M. Branch, Mr.. w. ]. Waits
and Mr.. T. o. Buford.

The agricultural workers and
leading livestock men from Madison
Yazoo, Attala, Leflore and Holmes
Counties attended pasture demon
stration on Mr.. R. M. Branch's farm
in the Richland community of Hol-
mes county on Wednesday afternoon,
October "a, conducted by Mr.. w. R.
Thompson, Pasture Specialist, Mis-
sissippi State College.
Mr.. Thompson made the following
recommendation to be followed
when building pasture:
/. Take soil sample using the
technique recommended by the
soils laboratory which is to take
sample within the top six inches of
soil. About one pound of soil is a
sufficient amount to be mailed to
the laboratory for analysis.
Q. The Interpretation of the an
alysis report sent out by the soils
laboratory was discussed by Mr..
AnOAllkJSOll. AAC StoSCu tllot tAAC ACS-
concentrations should be adhered
to by the farmer. He went on to say
that if in the same field the hill por-
ton showed need for two tons Of
lime per acre and bottom land in
the same field showed a need for
one ton, there would be no objection
to putting two tons over the entire
acreage; that on most farms it would
not be practical to try to vary the
amounts for the same field.
8. The method of distributing
minerals was demonstrated. Any
equipment that will give an even
distribution over the soil is salts
factory.
4. It was recommended that the
soil be plowed to depth of to 6
inches and thoroughly disked. A
cultapacker should be run over this
seed bed, or, if cultapacker is not
available, the farmer should wait
for a rain to firm his soil before seed
are planted.

for youngsters than just cutting them
down to child-size.
Fabrics adults wear, they say, may
be so heavy they will burden a
small child. If the material is not
light enough in weight to be COM
Portable, use it for some other pur-
pose Avoid stripes, plaids, and
prints that are too big for the child.
Grown-ups sometimes wear drab
colors, but children like gaiety. AL
so, there's a safety factor to consid-
era child's bright colthes may give
the first slow signal to a motorist,
or, in rural sections, to hunter. So,
when the main part of an outfit
must be of dull, uninteresting
fabric, try adding bright trim or ac-
cessories. Dress up little girls
black or gray coat with red collar
or a plaid ascot tie. Or complete the
picture with red cap or mittens. Add
festive embroidery or pretty buttons
to dark dress.
Dye woolens or rayons that are
too pale to be practical for child.
Be sure to follow directions printed
on dye boxes exactly, so as not to
shrink the material.
When planning a make-over, con-
suit the youngster who is going to
wear it-and make sure it hits the
spot. Think Of the grown-ups who
have none too fond memories of the
make-overs they had to wear. Most
times, too, tis just the little things
that make clothes acceptable to
children.

Half of Vets Looms
Poid AT DefuuIt

The top half" or guaranteed part
OF loan to a veteran under the G.
L. Bill is paid to the lender at the
time of default, according to infor-
nation received by the State Depart
ment of The American Legion from
an Officer of U. S. V. A. Loan Sec
ton, August q, 1945.
This point is important in that
upon a fair valuation there can be
no loss by the lender and the veter-
an, therefore, should have no diff
Guilty borrowing, provided lending
agencies are willing to invest funds
at 4eo interest.
A part of the letter is quoted as
follows: 1T should be emphasized
that the guaranty by the Admins
traitor of Veterans Affairs for the
government) has the same effect as
down payment" on the property
being purchased by the veteran. The
guaranty obligates the government
of the United States to pay to the
lender all losses caused by default
of mortgage up to the amount qua
ranteed.
For example: A veteran makes a
loan in the amount of 100000. The
guaranty certificate is issued in the
amount of 100000. Veteran defaults
on his mortgage. At this point the
lender files claim with the govern
ment Of the United States for pay
ment Of the 100000 guaranteed,
and informs the government that
they plan to call the loan. The ST.
10000 is paid under the guaranty to
the lender, and if the property is
then foreclosed and the amount
realized from the sale is, $2,500.00,
the lender would have collected
from the foreclosure sale and pay
men. of the government under the
guaranty a total of $4,500.00. The
lender would then reimburse the
government in the amount of $780,
90, which is the amount received
above the total indebtedness at the
time of foreclosure.
It is believed that many lenders
misinterpret the guaranty in that
they do not realize that the claim
should be filed with the government
for payment under the guaranty be-
fore foreclosure is made rather thar
after foreclosure"
