only. They won't be back until
April /, and between times they will
take any trip, whether on foot or
burro, that strikes their collective
fancy.
Anne is the widow Of Horace
White, who lost his life while on a
special mission for the State De-
partment. Herbert Feiss latest
book, "Seen From E. A." is dedicated
to him. Mr.. Feiss, of course, is the
former chief of the Division Of Eco
nomic Affairs, and that's what the
E. A. stands for.
One couldn't help noticing the be-
f1avior of a great man the other
evening at the White House. After
the Army and Navy reception had
begun, the Red Room, where the
cabinet and biggest wigs are always
to be found, was suddenly roped cfi
-unbeknownst, of course, to either
the President or Mrs. Truman. This
meant that the general run of guests
generals and admirals, colonels and
captains for whom the party had
been given-were forbidden entrance
into this favored spot.
j, Gen. Marshall, however, must see
everything that goes on. Not two
minutes had elapsed before he was
out in the midst of the crowd in the
state dining room. It wasn't long
either before Gen. Ike and the popu-
lar Mrs. E. were in the dining room,
too, as well as cabinet members and
their wives. In fact, the Red Room
began to look a little deserted. One
wonders why the ropes were kept up.

husband Cecil and 17-month son,
Sandy, arrive in town from Beverly

they may decide to stay there. =.
Also today Frances Rosso boards the
train for the sunkissed regions. At
least all the advertisements say
Florida is sunkissed. According to

CHICAGO, March behind the
headlines of record crop forecasts
for l947 stand the hybrids, lining
up for their biggest year in history
in the Nations fields and gardens.
From popcorn to petunias and
from maize to marigolds reports are
much the same: Seed companies are
offering new high-yielding, disease
resistant hybrids and new treatment
-of older hybrids for larger and bet
ter crops.
The most important hybrid of all
field corn or maize, has something
new added this year, called film
coating" process. Its discoverers
claim SO per cent termination in
cold spring weather tests, compared
with "a per cent for seed treated by
conventional dusting methods, and
6 per cent for untreated seed.
Among the new flower types there
are two all-double petunias. The
Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower, a mid
salmon in color, took the 1947 ALI
America Silver Medal, and the
Rosemarie took the Bronze Medal
with it's rose pink flowers.

Coolidge won the Metro tourney

it's rocky road ahead for the

has come up with one of its best
teams in recent years, and there's
a chance the Johnnies can repeat

in the IA years of star tournament
history show that anything can
happen and one of the unseeded
teams may come out on top.
Teams will be rewarded at the
end by presentation of many tro-

vision, and for winning coaches and
for the outstanding girl and boy
player. Also gold basket balls for
players on the winning teams and
