DUNBAR PICKED FAV0RHE
IN city TRACK MEET


as heavy favorites to take top
honors in the annual city track
meet which starts this afternoon
at the University of Dayton sta
dunn.
The Wolverines have an assort-
ment of fast-stepping thinclads
who should cause plenty of grief
for runners of the other five
schools when the track elimina-
tions get underway at $3.50 p. m.
Six schools are entered in the
meet with each allowed two men
in every event. This probably
means that the Dunbar and Wilbur
Wright powerhouse will be held
down in points.
The other schools competing are
Stivers, FairvieW, Parker Coop
and Roosevelt. Chaminade and
Kiser do not have track teams this
year.
Wilbur Wright has had a good
season on the cinders, losing to
Dunbar in the Greenville relays
last week. But the Pilots main
strength is in the distance events
and the field events.
Bob Hooker, Wright's ace hurd-
Ter, set a new record at Greenville
and should be a tough man to beat.
In addition they have a strong re-
lay squad and should pile up plenty
of points with seconds and thirds
in most events.
Dave Albritton's Wolverines are
all primed to take the city cham
pionship. Dunbar won the Green
vile relays and placed second in
the Knights Of Columbus meet at
Cincinnati over the week end. They
have been beaten only by Spring
field Public.
"I'll be most surprised if we
don't win the meet" Albritton said
today. "'In fact, if we lose I'll cut
my throat and the teams, too"
Albritton has reason for being
confident. Grannisson Davis is the
fastest man in the city in the 100
while Jonathan Bass has been his
consistent shadow. And Bob Mukes
is no slouch in the 220.
Dunbar's main strength is in the
shorter events and they'll have to
place high in them to win the
meet.

ORDERS FOR IMAGINATION
OF 1851 HAVE Been ISSUED

| WASHINGTON, May 3 CAMP
Your Washington correspondent
has learned that orders for the in
activation of the 761st Tank bat
talon have already been issued, as
was announced recently.
Although there has been no Of
ficial confirmation from the war
department here, it can be reliably
reported now that such orders have
already been issued, and that the
men of the battalion will be trans
ferred into other units stationed in
the European Theatre of Opera
tions.
It's already been confirmed that
the battalion's equipment was turn
ed in the first week of last month,
which is the usual first step in the
inactivation of all units.
The tank battalion, which was
cited personally by the late Gen.
George S. Patton, third army COM
mander, for it's gallantry and heroic
actions on Nov. 8, 1914, is headed
by Capt. Ivan H. Harrison of 1899
Scovel place, Detroit, who took COM
mand on November 3.
Succeeding 1t. Col. Paul | Bates,
white, Capt. Harrison was 27 years
Of age on April 10, is married to
the former Miss Juanita Edwards
of Detroit, and is the father of
son, Ivan, Jr., % months old.
On July 80, 1943, he became the
second Negro company commander
when he assumed command of head
quarters company, and held this
position until month before the
end Of hostilities in Europe when he
took command of the Service Com
pany, holding this post until Sep
tember, 1915, when he became
executive officer.
The first fatality in the battalion,
which was the first Negro combat
unit to hit the front lines in France,
was Pvt. Clifford G.. Adams of
Miami, member of the medical
detachment, who died from wounds
received on Nov. 8, D-day for the
battalion.
The 761st was assigned to police
Germany following We day as one
of the few Negro combat units in
occupied territory. A large per-
centage of the men reenlisted for
another three years of army service.
Among the speculations as to the
basic reason for inactivation of the
Negro combat unit are wild reports
of extensive romance between mem
bers Of the 761st and German
women. Many of the men are said
to have married the frauleins.
Others reenlisted because they ad-
nit they had never enjoyed the free
dom at home they have enjoyed in
Germany and other European
countries.

Tanker Bow
 Found CapsiZed

Kodiak, AIaska-Alaska Sea Frontier-During a 50 knot gale and snow storm the bow section of the American tanker Sacketts Harbor was located by the Navy patrol frigate Orlando in a cap- sized condition and down by midships, making salvage impos- sible.

OPACuts Prices Of Coke, Milk, Bread

Milk is being sold in half-pints at 15 cents, Coca-Cola is 10 cents a bottle, and bread is being re- duced to 20 a loaf as the result of new specific prices set on those items by the OPA, and distributed this week by the To- cal OPA office.
 Milk has been selling at 45 cents quart, and on notifca- tion of the new prices E. E. Be 1 quit delivery of milk to stores until he made arrangements a few days later to sell it in hali- pints, which brings the total cost per quart to 50 cents. The new regulation provides that restau- rants should sell half pints at b cents instead of the previous 20 but does not list a half pint re- tail price.
 Bread went 10 25 cents loaf Tn November, 194l, and has sold at that price since. Before that 1t was 20 cents.
 Describing Coca-Cola as a Significant item in the budgets of most families" the OPA re- duced the price from l5 to 10 cents, on the basis of whole sale price of 5 ceDts.
 The action was due, the OPA said, to the fact that inhation- ary prices had already existed in Kodiak during the base period because of the base construction boom.

Fountain Robbed

Someone broke a pane of glass lin the side door of the Island Fountain between closing Thurs day about lI:30 pm and the next morning, thus being able to open the door, and got away with about $50, according to an estimate of James Martz, mana ger. The robbery was discovered when the janitor came in the morning to clean up.
 Money was taken from two cash registers, and $15 was taken from under a box of toothpIcks in drawer of a desk in the back office.

In one of the latter he piled up a box of Christmas tree lights with several cartons of cigarettes on top, and then left them. He also jimmied open Ia portable typewriter that he could not figure out how to open with the latch.
