La Guardia Requests
That UNRRA Windup
Begin About Oct. |
Recommends Thot He Be
Replaced as Director
After Tour of Chino
BY the kssccioted Press

GENEVA, Switzerland. Aug. 7.
F. H. La Guardia recommended
today that UNRRA should start
liquidation about October l and
that he be relieved of its direc-
torship after he tours China.
The former New York mayor made
the recommendations in his quar-
terly report to the fourth plenary
meeting of the United Nations Re-
lief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton, an organization whose billions
have come largely from the United
States Treasury.
He asserted that supply opera
tions would end in Europe by De-
cember 81 and in the Orient by
March 81, 1947, but that deliveries
would continue beyond those dates.
$4,000 Displaced Persons Remain.
Mr. La Guardia said UNRRA re-
sponsibilties for "displaced' persons
would continue for at least so days
into l947, or until some other agency
could take the burden. He said the
international refugee organization
has no funds and that $4,000 dis
placed persons remain in UNRRA
camps discouraged. confused, un-
happy, demoralized and depressed.
He said he was going to China to
make little noise there and see
what I can do there" He said
UNRRA had s55O,000, 900 program
in progress in China, but that ports
had become SO clogged that some
supplies and foods were deteriorat-
ing and that he was compelled to
stop shipments.
There were 30 ships awaiting
berth and so ships on the high seas
destined for China when the order
was issued" he said.
Consulted No One.
The Far Eastern Committee of
UNRRA protested the order and
asked to be consulted on such mat
ters in the future, but Mr.. La
Guardia said That was my respon-
sibility. I consulted no one. Should
a similar situation arise I don't in
tend to consult any one"
He referred to the UNRRA re-
quirement that all home grown food
and supplies of a receiving country
De used in the economy of the
country.

Brecheen went after that.
The last eight Boston batters got
only two balls out of the infield,
and two of them, Leon Culberson
and Johnny Pesky, were success
sive strikeout victims in the eighth.
1t was not certain until shortly
before game time that Slaughter
would be able to play. He had a
badly-bruised right elbow from be-
ing hit by a pitched ball in Boston,
but he insisted on playing, and per-
formed with his usual brilliance.
He ran far to pull down a Justly
clout by Culberson after Hughson
had singled in the fifth.
Manager Joe Cronln decided
overnight to start Harris, rather
than Dave (Boo) Ferriss, the big
highlander who stopped the Cards
with six hits in Boston. The rea-
son was that Ferriss, a left-hand
batter, is an exceptionally good
hitter for a pitcher, and Cronin
wished to save him to hit against a
St. Louis highlander, in Tuesdays
final.
1t was certain that Manager Ed
die Dyer would be forced to use
either Munger or hurry Dickson,
both righties, in the final. He set
tied on Dickson, who was beaten in

Two decisions are questioned by the fans Why
was Billy Mason not credited with a touchdown after
he made that beautiful catch in the final few minutes
dpay before the half ended?. 49,. What happened when
Wilmington blocked that Raleigh punt in the fourth
quarter? The locals blocked the punt and recovered
lit on the Raleigh II yard strips, but, the officials gave
the ball to Raleigh Why? -. and how about the play
in which Plner hit the Raleigh back so hard he fumbled
and Wilmington recovered, but the officials gave the
Cars touchdown? =. All these questions are on the
minds Of the local fans Four men know the answers.
A Wilmington player commenting on the game said
last night that the Cats made several mistakes But
was definately sure that the officials were against us"
.. He said the play that set up the first touchdown
for the Raleigh Caps was a misunderstood signal and
that the ball was snapped on the wrong cue, catching
Sykes off his guard.
On the play the officials allowed Wilmington a safety

Gibson blocked the punt, both of them touching the
pgskin, Piner had the ball in his arms across the goal
line, but the officials ruled that Wilmington had not
touched the ball He said the referee ruled it a touch
down but Hale Lanier, headlinesman said it should be
termed a safety and that was the decision finally made.

Davis rushed to the field to protest the decision, but
they were waved from the field by the officials =.
