Another vacation column.
The time to sell or trade what
you have is when somebody else
wants it. The lawyers have an ex-
preston that the time to get the
fee is when the tears are hot. This
column still contends that the time
to make arrangements about what
we are to get in return for lend
lease; about the island bases; about
airports built in foreign countries
at the cost of millions of dollars,
and numerous items of this kind,
was as each necessity arose. 1t
was the feeling of the then chief
executive of the United States,
and so expressed by him, that We
should not make any deals with
our friends while the war was go
ing on. One of the results of this
policy, which certainly is not a
characteristic American policy, is
shown in the fact that the U. S.
has built $40 air fields all over the
world. I do not know the total
cost, but l do know that three
dozen of these fields costs over
$400,OOO,OOO That still leaves 334
to be accounted for The U. S. re-
tains no rights for the use of these
fields after the war and the QueS-
ton now under discussion is who
owns the fields and who may use
them.
IN THE PACIFIC
The same argument is growing
o nthe retention of various islands
bases, particularly in the Pacific,
just as there is. and will continue
to be, an argument over reim-
bursement for lend-leaSe and other

Leovenworth, Seymour Today

Leavenworth Highs Tech Tigers of the baseball diamond and the Seymour High lads were scheduled to cross bats today at the muni- cipal stadium, 3 p. m.
 Ansonia High won an 8-2 game from Wilby yesterday, and though the local lads came up with hits off Tom Casagrande, four of them by Quattro and Datelle, the Copper City southpaw struck out IS Wilby batters to win going away.
 Watertown came through with a ninth inning to 6 win over Cros- by, due to a three-base knock by O'Neil and a wild pitch by Crosby's Pete Kuzmenko. The teams got two runs each in the first inning and one apiece in the third; Crosby leading 4-3 in the sixth but runs in the seventh gave Bob Cooke $ lads GA edge which was wiped out by Crosby in the ninth; only to have the winning run for Watertown score in the ninth. Wilcock was the bat king of the game, the Indian third-sacker getting A for 5", o. Mel hitting two more of the Wa tertown hits off Duphiney and Kuz- menko.

COLLEGES AGREE TO TRAVEL. LESS
 AS WAR AID

Washington, May 16-(UP)-The National Collegiate Athletic associ- ation has adopted a voluntary pro- gram to curtail college and high school athletic transportation, the Office of Defense Transportation announced today.
 Noting that collegiate athletic travel already had been 'curtailed, ODT Director J. Monroe Johnson said the additional transportation saving "is extremely gratifying in view of War Department estimates of large increase in military trans portation requirements during the next 12 months"
 The new program was agreed upon at recent meeting of NCAA officials and Col. Johnson. It will:
 1. Localize and simplify schedules of athletic contests.
 2. Exclude contests involving an absence from the campus or school of more than 48 hours.
 3. Eliminate all unreasonably long trips.
 4. Schedule contests only for the home grounds of one or the other of the competing teams or for ur- ban playing fields located between the respective home grounds of the competing teams. 5. Limit ticket sales for all events to the immediate vicinities in which they are taking place.
 6. Schedule contests at places where spectators are already located rather than at places to which they would have to travel. '. Discourage attendance at away-from-hom contests by under graduates, alumni and other sports followers not resident in the imme- diate vicinity of the contest.
 8. Route team trips away from congested transportation centers and from main arteries of travel.
 Small Squads
 g. Reduce to an absolute mini- mum the number of athletes making trips for contests away from home.
 10. Limit the number of coaches, cheerleaders and managers, and completely exclude bands and other travelling parties not essential to the trip.
 II. Eliminate transportation of equipment through use by both competitors of the home teams equipment.
 12. Replace home me-and-home conn., petition by two or more contests at a single location.
 13. Eliminate from schedules all events not essential to an athletic program.
 IA. Eliminate high school tourna- ments that involve use of transpor- tation facilities beyond suburban area.
 15. Eliminate participation in post-season events.
 Johnson said that If the present transportation conditions continue until the football season, games scheduled to be played at other than home fields will have to be eliminated.

New York-Practically every golfer in America pro, amateur or Sunday dub-has taken sides in the forthcoming battle between Byron Nelson and Samuel Jackson Sneads
 And this nationwide surge of enthusiasm convinces the golfing fathers that at last they have struck upon splendid idea.
 They vision tremendous things for the future-a classic to com- pare with the World Series of baseball or a heavyweight cham pionship prize fight. Already Fred Corcoran, tournament di- rector of the Professional Golf ers' association, dreams of an an- nual meeting between the Ma tional Open and PGA titlists with the winner meeting Great Britain's | foremost shotmaker.
 The unique 72-hole contest be- tween Nelson and Snead is an ex- cellent opening wedge. The mas ters will play two 18-hole rounds of medal play at Fresh Meadow. L. l.. May 26, and 36 holes of match play the following day at West Oranges Essex Country club.
 Nelson won eight of r winter tournaments, captured $18,00O in War Bonds. Snead is his logical challenger with six victories in 15 tournaments good for $14,000 in bonds.
 Lord Byron and Slammin' Sammy are natural rivals, al- though they try painfully to con- ceal any grudge that may exist and are quick to express admira- tion for each others talents. It was Snead who ignited the spark which famed into the match.
 Discharged by the Navy be- cause of back injury following 26 months of service, the Vir- ginia hill billy found Nelson at his loftiest peak, which is pre- cisely where he had left him.
 Nelson closed the winter swing ball of fire, again acclaimed the | golfer or the year.
 T suppose he deserves it," re- marked Snead, but could stand little more convincing. Do you suppose he'd take me on in a two-man ield?"
 Lord Byron would, and gladly.
 Corcoran arranged 1t as a bene- fit with all proceeds going to the PGA's fund for the rehabilita- tion of wounded soldiers. Every thing was to be done in big league style, Snead spending a week in training at Mamaroneck, N. Y, under Craig Wood, while Nelson worked in Atlantic City, Big Ed Dudley in his corner.
 If they split in the two styles of play, Corcoran admits nothing will be proved except that both -Snead with his walloping drives and Nelson with his sound all-over game-have merit.
 Sam and Byron have been in each others hair for eight years, their rivalry reaching its crest when they tangled in the PGA match-play final of 194O at Her shey. Nelson was 10 under par for the 72-hole climax, yet was taken to the final hole before he prevailed.
 Twice on the tour of last win ter they collided in play-offs, Snead beating Nelson at Gulf port and lowing to the Toledo umbrella man at Charlotte.
 From there Byron Nelson went on to run wild winning four consecutive tournaments, which, in the eyes of a majority of the addicts, makes him the favorite in the forthcoming match.
 But Slammin' Sammy Snead could stand little more con- vir1cing.

 WAY THURSDAY

The IRA. Girls Industrial Soft ball league prys the lid of on its sixth season with the opening games scheduled for tomorrow night at Fulton and Waterville Parks. Seven teams will vie for championship honors this year in two rounds of play. The winner of the first round will play the winner of the second round in best two out of three series for the crown.
 Waterbury Manufacturing com- pany, defending champions, will be back again this year with practically the same team in the field as last year. The Mfg. Co. laSsies are coached by Roger Connors, old Texas leaguer and explained by Tes- sic Jacobs, veteran of five previous campaigns.
 Scovill's Oakville Go, runners-up last year, will not be represented in the league again as several stars on last years team have left the employment of the company. Wa terbury Tool, also, will not have an entry for the same reason.
 The lone new entry into league competition will be the Scovill Wa terville Employees Recreation asso- ciation, coached by Francis Leves- que. The Waterville ten are confi- dent they will give the other teams plenty of stiff opposition.
 Keen Contenders
 Expected to provide Waterbury Mfg. with strongest competition for the crown are Joe Brennan's U. s. Time Bombardeers and Ray Ouimet's Scovill E. R. A. aggrega- . tion. The U. s. Rubber Kedettes are the lark horse entry in the race as they are of unknown strength at this writing.
