STATE OF THE NATION

Anyone who conducts a business successfully in the face
of the growing mountain of government controls, must have
a corps of lawyers at his elbow. An individual with a good idea
and the willingness to risk his savings to back his idea, is not
enough. He cannot go ahead except by the grace of countless
bureaus and agencies stated with hopelessly confused little
bureaucrats. Every move he makes must be paved with prior
tiles, ALLEGATIONS, certificates, and directives. If he does manage
to run the gauntlet and come out with an article the public
needs and wants, he cannot sell it unless the price is approved
by a government agent acting under the authority of an unin-
teigible formula. In the meantime, the government continues
TO print tons of hopeful advice to aspiring small business.
Such is the state of the nation. Paradoxicany, larger in
dustries able to hire lawyers, and survive the present system
are the most vociferous in their condemnation of the situation.
They realize that they were once small and they want to pre-
serve the kind of a country which keeps alive the hope of the
beginner. They realize too that if a crop of healthy small bust
ness is not developing continually, big business and big govern
the individual.

Cadets to Swap Places,
Dates With Midshipmen

ANNAPOLIS.-There can be no
doubts about army-navy co-opera-
ton any longer-the West Point ca
diets and the midshipmen are going
to exchange their books, bread,
hunks and, most startling of all,
maybe even their dates.
The superintendent of the two
academies announced a plan where
by almost 1000 cadets and middies
would change places for three-day
periods.
The exchange will be made in
four weekend groups, starting
April 10.
Rear Adm. S. H. I%ngersoll, An
napolis commandment, said the plan
was aimed at encouraging "endur-
ing friendships between the future
army and navy officers"

OrphdnsA Are
Big Problem
Horrors Still Are Fresh in
Their Minds; Agencies
Tackle Hard Job.

NEW YORK. - Five minutes be.
fore, the comfortable dining hall hac
been a peaceful, quiet, orderly
room. Then pandemonium broke
loose.
With less warning than a rocket
bomb, 20 small children, all of them
orphans from areas shattered by
war, began screaming and sobbing
Historically. Tables and chairs
overturned. Dishes crashed to the
floor, reports NEA.
The scene was Little Bardfeld
hall, near Braintree, Essex, in Eng
land, where the uncomfortable out
burst had happened before, and will
happen again.
The children are not incorrigi-
bles or delinquents, they were born
and reared in the terrible thunder
and scream of war, and sometimes
the impact of the new quiet that has
come with peace is more than they
can bear.
Impossible? Not at all. Psycholo-
gists find strange things have hap
pened to the minds of these chill
dren.
Such hysteria is only one of the
problems the child psychologists
and social workers face in the deli
cate task of rebuilding the lives of
thousands of these battered little
remnants of war-torn families.
Agencies are Helping.
Many agencies, American and
European, are contributing to their
relief. But a sympathetic, person
allied approach to the problem has
been the goal of the American fos-
ter parent plan for war children in
its work to rebuild Europe's home
less children - waits taken from
concentration camps, found wander
ing along roads, or sitting bewil-
dered in a ruined city.
Started 10 years ago during the
Spanish Civil war, the foster par
ent plan has sheltered more than
100000 children since then.
1t is financed by voluntary con-
tributions and maintains Sc "colo-
nies"-usually large old homes or
chateaux-in England, France, Bel
GUM, Holland, Malta and Italy.
Homeless and hungry children,
shaken by the war, need more than
food and clothing" reasons Mrs.
Edna Blue, executive chairman.
"They must be taught to be chill
dren again. They must be given
back the sense of security that
comes with normal home life"
Plan Explained.
Here's how the plan works: The
''foster parent" (who may be an in
dividual, a school group or a club)
agrees to contribute money, per-
sonal interest and long distance af-
lection for at least a year to help
his ward" There are no legal con-
tracts and children cannot come to
America to live with foster fam
1t costs SIS a month to "adopt"
a child. This feeds, clothes, houses
and educates HIN. Renewing the
sense of security in the world
when he is told in detail
about his American friend who has
chosen him to help. The "foster par
receives the child's picture and
history.
Letters must be exchanged at least
once a month through the executive
offices in New York; birthday cards
and occasional small gifts increase
The bond between them.
In nearly every case a marked
Improvement in the child's progress

ng and he feels his ~"foster par
ent" really does care.
The children's letters, usually &C

liant testimony of their eagerness

CHESTERTOWN. Nd, May IA
After a half dozen consecutive set
backs Catholic Universitys baseball
team finally had a IL victory over
Washington College on the ledger
today, and there is moral behind
the story. It's the old adage of try
ing again and again and again if
at first you don't succeed.
Yesterday there was some talk
around the Cardinal campus about
giving up the game for the season,
The situation seemed as hopeless as
a canary in a cat show. The squads
only recent showing had been
4-3 setback by Georgetown, but
other opponents won by box-score
figures. 1t was reported school Of
ficials wouldn't press the matter
if the boys wanted to call it a sea-
son, but they had other ideas.
They were determined to finish it
if they lost all the rest.
That spirit paid dividends. Frank
Dement, held the Shoremen to four
hits while his mates were pounding
out IL. Three runs in the second
and four in the ninth clinched the
verdict.

DETROIT, May 14.-The Mats,
after foundering at the seasons
start, now are one of the American
Leagues power teams. They won't
belt for distance with the Red Sox
or Yankees, but the Mats don't suffer
by comparison with the remainder
of the clubs in the circuit.
Detroit, for instance, hasn't a 300
hitter in its lineup. The Tigers are
in third place by courtesy of their
pitchers and the Mats envision
themselves tenanting third place if
their own pitching steadies. They
are demonstrating they have the
hitting to make them dangerous.
In % games this season, the Mats
have Dashed II home runs, IA triples
and A doubles. At that pace, Wash
ington would collect II home runs,
or so more than last year.
Mickey Vernon, who has appeared
in only 16 games and in two of those
on part time duty, leads the Mats in
runs batted in with Is. His 1897
batting average comes as a surprise
to Washington fans, who saw him
swat no more than .299 in his best
previous year.
Vernon Deemed Smart Hitter.
"He's smart hitter" says Coach
Joe Judge, because he's hitting what
they throw up there; not guessing
they'll pitch curve and swinging
accordingly. He isn't trying to pull
hits against fast left-handers. but
he's giving us many a double down
that left-field line.
Sometimes a little thing can
make fine hitter out of a medi-
ocre batter continued Judge.

of me by soaring me to death right

here in this town. There was a
pitcher named Love, a southpaW
working for Detroit and he had
been making me look foolish. All he
had to do was start his windup and
I'd start falling away toward first
base Well, we came in here for a
series and Griff said by sin, you
stand up at that plate today, or
you go home on the first train out
tonight
My job was at stake, so 7 stood
up against Love that day, and dog
goned if I didn't get four for four
Griff kept me in the majors with
that threat"
Tigers to Pitch Lefties.
Sherry Robertson oddly enough is
leading the Mats in home runs with
three, despite his .222 batting aver
age. Seven of his 18 hits this sea
son have been for extra bases, but
to make Sherry a more consistent
hitter Judge has recommended the
same remedy Griffith forced him
to adopt.
Robertson has thumped across II
runs for the Mats and Washington
bosses have been unable to make UP
their minds concerning him. Just
about the time they're ready to
toss in the towel, Sherry pops one
over the fence.
Roger Wolff was to pursue his
third straight victory against the
Tigers, winners of eight straight
games, here today with the left
handed Stubby Overmire slated to
pitch for Detroit. Dutch Leonard
will be pitted against a first-time
starter tomorrow when the Tigers
gamble with Ted Gray, another
lefty and former local high school
boy who compiled an enviable rec
ord in the Navy after winning 13
and losing IA with winston Salem.
