George H. Stod dard Commissioner of Education of New York, are together responsible for the choice of this woman widow teacher and author of childrens books. The request for such teacher stemmed directly from the Emperor though it meant the breaking of tradition of than thousand years that all instruction ot an heir to the throne shall be given by men.
 What has Mrs. Vning to say? First of all, she was astonished at her selection. Secondly, there are no strings attached to the appointment She goes forth-as she stated in Associated Press interview teach the stories every American school child knows stories of Longfellow and of Washington and of Am ercan thoughts and ideals" The emphasis she added will be a world without war and nations working together for peace" She is brave woman She must have lived these ideals to be able to teach them All Japan, and much of the world will watch this experiment, and from it much good may be expected to come, not only from Akhito but for his country as well

GRANDSTANDING ARMY
 OFFICER

A lot of little things went on at Liehfield which never came out at the court martial. Officers stopping at Lichfield tell how Colonel Kilian passed the hat to collect $4,400 for a plate glass window for the Staff fordshire Regimental Headquarters at Lichfield. Known as the Col onel'S pet project, it was implied that everyone had to contribute.
 At Lichfield every officer was supposed to be permitted two bot ties of whiskey per month. How ever, they didn't get them Instead the whiskey was sold over the of ficers' club bar at 40 cents a drink.
 One visitor tells how he was awakened at o'clock one morning during the war to look down at the spectacle of Colonel Kilian stand ing in his car making the round Of his troops on review. He was receiving their salute at am. be- fore going to London to receive a decoration
 Note-Back in 1884 when the Re- gular Army wanted to oust Kilian under Class B regulations, Presi- dent Roosevelt reinstated him Someone had done some wire-pull- ing.

LICHFIELD BRUTALITY

It didn't make headlines, but con- scientious Secretary of War Patter- son and Undersecretary Kenneth Royal have stepped into the Lich- field brutality trials in order to give a fair break to two GI's.
 They have suspended the six month Jail sentence given Sgt. James M Jones and have reduced the three-year term given Sgt. Jud- son H. Smith to nine months-the time he had already served.
 The War Department also states that with the rectification of these two harsh sentences, the punish ment given to GIs stacks up about even with that given to officers.
 Here is the Army score-card;

 A cigar-smoking. easy-going Tex an, Young immediately summoned Texas neWspapermen for an exclu siye, highly nationalistic Texas press conference He wanted advice from Texans, he said, on how to run the Department of Commerce.
 Do you think l should call a trump cabinet meeting?" he asked with large wink.
 It was suggested that Young also resign, thus becoming the second Cabinet member to resign in one day. But Young replied that he was much more concerned about trying to pass a law which would make him Secretary of Commerce manently, without the consent of either the President or the Con- gress.
 I'm just an entrenched bureau crat at heart opined the acting Secretary of Commerce.
 When one Texan proposed that Young have a picture taken while a member of the Cabinet, he re- piled.

 To the casual onooker. it might strange develop year after the end of the war not at the peak of wartime activity But that is the fact.
 Today the railroads of the United States are handling freight than at any time during the war And tkey are doing with less adequate facilities for freight cars out with just any other conveyance does Replacement has not been main- tanied at sufficient rate owing to strikes and to the extreme demand for materials.
 While on, nonessentia freight movements were restricted, and the vast movement of essential freight was handled successfully Today there no comparable priorities, and carloadings have scared above wartime levels and promise to go higherIf the cars can be found
 Furthermore, it was possible in wartime to assign high priorities to construction of rolling stock Tn peacetime manufacturers of rolling stock have to compete for steel with manufacturers of passenger automobiles refrigerators and thousands of other peacetime commodities They also must contend with strikes largely avoided in wartime. In consequence freight cars are not being built at much than half the rate of 1944.
 This situation will be worse before it is better, in of the normal increase of freight in the autumn and the inability of railroads government to put one oi the difficulties of the transition from trolled economy to relatively free economy. rail transport system that adequate for the colossal burden of wartime with strict priores in operation is not adequate for the colossal movement of goods in a postwar period of imitation and high industrial output.

Maryland, Rained 0uI
OF Army Tilt, Plays
Navy Tomorrow

Harry Hughes. a big right-hander
who has come along at a fast clip
after slow beginning, will get the
starting mound assignment for
Maryland against Navy tomorrow at
Annapolis, Coach Burt Shipley said
today. The game is scheduled for
4 pm.
Maryland, rained out at West
Point yesterday, has only the Navy
game and another Friday with Vir-
ginia Tech at College Park to wind
up a successful season. The Terps
have won IL and lost four.
Shipley. juggling his lineup in
quest of more batting power against
the Tars, has moved Danny Boothe
from center field to shortstop. A
big Lacquer from a defensive view
point, Boothe's long legs and ac-
curate throwing whip will give his
mates plenty of help in the infield
and will give Shipley hard-hitting
outfield trio in Andrus, Cropster and
Ceski.
Andrus, who will be in center,
poled three homers in the Kings
Point double header last Saturday,
two in the first game. The big boy
has been whacking the ball hard all
season but had the advantage Of a
right-fleld fence to pump his shots
over at Kings Point.
AL Tuminsh will move to third in
another move to bolster the defense.
Navy, lis winner over Army last
Saturday, probably is the Terps'
most formidable opponent of this
year. Max Bishops crew has dropped
only one game. Bob Hill, Washing
ton boy, is the Middies' regular first
baseman.

The Apollo Club is not member
of the AAU and its representatives
entered competition with an unat-

latter was awarded the Southwest

Vernon Still Top A. |.
Hitter, but kurowski
Takes MI. Helm
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, May 28.-Mickey
Vernon Of Washington continued to
top American League hitters with
the majors only 400 batting average
on figures including Sundays games,
but Sthe National had a new leader
in st. Louis Whitley Kurowski.
Vernon's average slipped six
points to .405 as he collected eight
hits in II trips to the plate in the
past week. Meantime, Kurowski
rocketed into the senior circuit lead
by pounding out IL hits in 23 at-bats
for 1888 season level. The Cards
third-sacker added IS points in the
week.
While second place in the Amer
ican League actually was held by
Dario Lodigiani Of the White Sox
at 1886, he had played in only a few
games and was sidelined with an
injury. So the real runnerup be-
came Ted Williams Of the Boston
Red Sox at .351 despite a 22-point
decline.
