The Maryland rooters were en-
couraged by the first-quarter per-
formance Of Vic Turyn's club, which
pushed the Indians all over the field.
The situation was not hopeless at
halftime with the Indians holding a

club was sent in at the start of the
second half and the Indians quickly
ran up $40 advantage.
Mont Bothered by Cast.
Mont was the victim Of an inter-
cepted pass and blocked kick, both
of which led to William and Mary
touchdowns, but Tommy obviously
was bothered by cast on the little
finger of his left hand.

 BY BRIT. DELEGATE

NEW YORK, April 18.-Sir Alex ander Cadogan, British delegate, ex- pressed opposition today to the Polish proposal for a concerted break in diplomatic relations with Franco Spain as the United Ma tions Security Council resumed de- bate On that controversial subject,
 Britain thus lined up beside the Netherlands in opposing Poland's demand. Poland thus far has the support of the Mexican and French delegates on the Council
 T cannot admit that the case so far made against the Spanish gov ernment has established a threat to the peace, breach of the peace, oi act of aggression and do not therefore consider that it is appro- priate to ask now for collective severance of diplomatic relations, Cadogan said.

RIGID FOOD MEASURES
 ARE ASKED
Deadlock Exists Between British, Canadian, Am
 eriCdn Restrictions

WASHINGTON, April IS. A British-C -Canadian-American dead- lock today over ways to ease the world food crisis delayed an order which will put this nation on a diet of less bread and flour.
 Representative of the three countries met yesterday at another of long series of meetings of the combined food board But they fail- ed again to agree on what each should do in the way of contribut- ing wheat and flour to famine stricken aneas.
 Secretary of Agriculture Ander- son has ready an order to cut Am- erican supplies of flour 25 percent, but he is withholding his signature pending further efforts of the three countries to agree on joint relief ef- forts.
 The American government is talk ing the position that the major burden is falling upon this country and that Canada and Great. Bri- tain could contribute more than they have offered.
 It is the official view here that both Britain and Canada could cut deeper into their reserves and re- duce their own consumption fur ther.
 Meanwhile, as the White House announced that President Truman will discuss the food crisis in a ra- dio address at 7:15 pm. tEST) to- morrow night, the Chief Executives Famine Emergency Committee call ed upon the government to adopt still more rigid food conservation measures.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-The House squared off defiantly today to finish it's job on the battered CPA bill after hammering the day. lights out of most of the mea- sure's key provisions.

CHUNGKING, April 13.---'ile fate of an American officer and his pilot was hidden by the smoke of battle in Changchun today as tEe Chinese Communist forces captur- ed the Yamato Hotel, where the two had been staying.

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON diplo- mats literally burnt up the wires between New York, Washingtin and Teheran to prevent Iran from withdrawing it's dispute from the Security Council agenda. But they faced a tough customer and they got nowhere.
 U. s. diplomats were interested in the all-important problem of strengthening the United Nations and building up machinery for world peace. Iran, on the other hand, was interested in escaping with it's hide reasonably intact.
 All last week, U. s. diplomats tried to show Iranian officials that the issue was bigger than just a fracas in dusty desert country.
 First, the U. S. Charge D'Affaires in Teheran called on Premier Ghav- am and urged that Iran keep it's dispute before the United Nations until Russian troops were with drawn May 6.
 Premier Ghavam, however, was quite frank in admitting he was ready to yield to the Russians. He said that if Iran didn't withdraw it's case from the United Nations, all the good work Iran had done to soothe its Russian relations would be undone. He appealed to the United States to understand Trans position in the matter. Af- ter some argument, however, he finally agreed that he would delay giving instructions to Ambassador Ala in New York until he received further word from Secretary of State James Byrnes.
 Simultaneously Ed, Stettinius in New York talked to Ambassador Ala in order to stiffen his back bone. Ala, however, needed no stif- fening. His backbone-at that time
