him like he was dog with stick.
He has no one to say a kind word

he will be treated with more re-

Reds Say U. s. Gusts Britain

MOSCOW, (P)-The trade union organ Trud asserted today that the new course of Americas for eign policy has alarmed the pro Sressive public of the Near East, who see in it a design of the United States to seize an economic, stra- tegic position in the Near East and Mediterranean basin
 Trud said the Americans were pushing out the weaker British.
 "The policy declared by Presi- dent Truman reflects the plans of aggressive American circles direc- ted towards establishing a world hegemony of the U. $. A. It is known and has been confirmed more than once by history that such plans inevitably suffer fail ure."

"Halt Prices Or Raise Wages

WASHINGTON, R)-President Truman said today that unless prices come down wage increases will be justified.
 The President told a news con- ference the justice department is studying the question of whether manufacturing concerns can com bi0e to lower prices without run aiug afOul of the antitrust laws.
 Under one supreme court deci- sion, MT. Truman said, it would be unlawful to combine to cut prices just as it would be to group to- gether to raies them.
 The President said this survey is being conducted as one means of getting prices down since the governments power over prices ended last year and it would be impractical to reinstate price con- trolS.
 MT. Truman added that he does not believe the people want such controls.

Walcott May Challenge Louis

PHILADELPHIA, (P)-A move to match Joe Louis with an aging father of six who goes by the name of Jersey Joe Walcott was gaining momentum today after the nation al boxing association rated Wal colt the number one challenger for the heavyweight title.
 Leon Rains, chairman of the Pennsylvania commission, in pro- posing the bout asserted that "I be- lieve Walcott is the best opposi- ton around for Louis"
 Though I would not say he would beat Louis," Rains added quickly.
 "Walcott is old of course" said Rains, but Joe's getting old too.
 I feel that Louis Walcott match would be very good any where this summer. I should like to see it staged in Philadelphia.
 Speculation has it that Louis probably will defend his title against the winner of the Bruce Woodcock-Joe Baksi fight to be held in London next Tuesday. Woodcock is British champion and Baksi halls from Kulpmont, Pa.

Barges Meet Tragedy In Storm

SANTA ROSA, Calf. (P)-An expedition to Alaska to open a barge freight line with surplus military landing crafts ended in tragedy for a Detroit couple off the northern California coast.
 Francis Capshaw, 46, former De- troit chiropractor and auto sales man, and a woman identified 25 his wife, were drowned yesterday when two barges sank during a narrowing night of fighting pvund- ing seas. Martin Ernestus of D,.- lingham, Alaska, partner of the CapShaWS in the venture to es.ab- fish a barge freight service ol the Newshagan River, was rescued by the Coast Guard.
 One of the party's bargeS was beached.
 CapshaW, who put his life's sav- ingS into the plan, had been living at San Pablo for the last month while gathering equipment for the expedition and loading the three barges purchased from the govern ment.
 The barges, heavily loaded with lumber. fuel, lighting plants and other equipment for setting up business in Alaska, were linked by tOWlineS when they left the San Francisco Bay at dawn WedneS- day, hoping to reach Fort Bragg on the Mendocino county coast by nightfall.
 ErnestuS told coroner Vernon Silvershield that the toWline from the larger barge to the two small le craft had snapped just before darkness Wednesday night and that they were unable to pick ii up. All three were weary and sea sick, he said, but he managed to jump from the larger barge into one of the smaller ones. He started up the motor to head for shore, thinking CapshaW was following.

in depreciation of her poor &C

John reached out and patted
her shoulder, wincing with pain
as he did so. He had lain too long
in the sand and his flesh was be-
ginning to ache from sunburn.
Secretly he had to admit that he
had been even dumber than Su-
san.

IT occurred to him that Steve
Cells might be staying on to
ward off possible repercussions in
the form of damage suits. Or it
could be that Steve was staying
in order to prevent possible van
dalism. Mrs. Elton, the house
keeper, had said she would not
be responsible for things lost or
stolen.
"But if he thinks he's hanging
around just to play fast and loose
with Susie. he's nuts. I'll have a
talk with that young lady my
self"
Having settled the problems of
Steve Cells and Susan Brown.
Johns thoughts returned to the
subject that was still uppermost
in his mind-his failure, so far,
to get acceptable pictures.
Except for the Peyton couple,
who had wandered off somewhere
soon after their arrival, the guests
were eager enough to be photo
graphed. But each had a definite
idea about posing and refused to
be swayed an inch.
For instance, the understood
Frank Gaines had been bent upon
posing astride horse, whereas
his wife, Bella, was equally adam
ant about posing on the tennis
courts. 1t was clear from the start
that no compromise was possible.
1t was finally decided, upon
Steve's suggestion, that Frank
should sit on the horse, with Bella
standing nearby, a tennis racquet
in her hand.
It was definitely not a suitable
pose to illustrate story on chow
to be happy though married."
which was what America LoueS
really wanted, but John Bates
had held onto his temper and
made the best of it. He well knew
the picture would not be the por-
trait of couple happily married.
That CLINT in Frank Gaines eyes
as he looked down at his wife
was not love-light. 1t was anger
and resentment, pure and simple.
And so it went.
Later John had encountered
Susan in the hallway and they
had gone down to the beach for
a swim. He had taken his beloved
camera along and wasted at least
a thousand feet of film making
pictures of Susan just because

Compared to its great-great-great
grandfather, the modern alligator
is sissy. According to William
Bartam, the famous naturalist of
the eighteenth century whose
Travels has recently been repub-
lished by Dover Publications ($3.75),
the alligator of early Florida was
not only more aggressive, but &C
tually spouted water and smoke at
its enemies.
"As passed by Battle Lagoon"
Bartram reported in his book, II
began to trcmble and keep good
lookout; when suddenly a huge al
ligator rushed out of the reeds, and
with tremendous roar came up,
and darted swift as an arrow under
my boat, emerging upright on my
lee quarter, with open jaws, and
belchlng water and smoke that fell
upon me like rain in a hurricane"
Bartram spent many months
studying Florida, Georgia and the
Carolinas in 1870, when most of
the territory was inhabited only by
wild animals and Indians. In his
1taveis he recorded his encounters
with Seminole chicftains, Creek
murderers and Muscogulge bride
grooms.
Weddings took place among some
OF the tribes with a good deal less
fuss and bother than they do today:
when a young man has fixed his
attentions" Bartram wrote, land is
determined to marry, he takes
cane or reed and repairs to the
habitation of his beloved. In the
presence of his wedding guests, he
sticks the reed down upright in the
ground. Soon after his sweetheart
comes forth with another reed
which she sticks down by the side
of his, when they are married. Then
they exchange reeds, which are laid
aside as evidences or certificates of
the marriage"

Is filled with frst-hand observa-
tons of the early Southland II the

tortoises, water-hens. wolves, cranes
and great hawks. Barbour and 9TH
er modern raturalists, historians
and general readers interested in
the South have long found the
Travels to be a thoroughly accu-
rate and fascinating account of that
period.
