TEEN-ACERS
 SCORE OVER
 MOOSE 10.3

Juneau's Teen Age Club fielded their ball team for the first time last evening, and took a seven run victory away from the tottering Moosemen in a non-league game.
 Pitcher Dud Smithberg of the Teen.Agers was ace in the hole for his team as he famed 13 Moose batters in seven innings of play. Trailing him were Moose pitchers Vaccura and Metcalf, with five and four strikeouts respectively.
 On hits, the Teen-Agers got H. and the Moose 10; but the big diff ference was that the Teen-Agers got their hits with men on base, while the Moose didn't. Also, six Teen-Agers were walked by Moose pitchers, while Smithberg walked only three Moose.
 Scoring Two Innings
 All the scoring was done in the second and third innings. Vaccura

 Rice followed, and went out on strikes. DeLand bunted safe to first, and brought Vaccura in to score. Miller knocked one to Schmitz at second and was thrown out at first. Hollander followed with a single to right field, then went to second on tumble by Adams in the field Dean struck out to retire the side with two men on.
 The Teen-Age hoys came to bat with Smithberg leading off. He hit to center field for a single, was followed by O'Connor who got a base out of an infield hit. Schmit2 came up, and Smithberg stole third Bill hit into a fielder's choice which was played late to second base and the runners were safe all around with Smithberg crossing the plate for a score.
 Adams came up, and Metcalt walked him to load the bases once more. Logan went out on strikes then Krause knocked an infield single and O'Connor scored. Me Clellan sent one to the pitcher, and was thrown out at first; but Schmitz came in on the play to score.
 Walks HCme
 Mercado went to first on balls, and Adams casually started home from third, was almost there before any of the Moose thought to throw to the catcher Adams was safe however for another run.
 Magorty sent grounder to cen- ter field, and Krause scored Smith berg came up for his second turn of the inning, hit single to right field. DeLand tossed wild pitch

Basement Homes Solve Crisis

to build the rest of the house within
three years, if possible.
One of the first G.I.s to move into
a basement. home was Cliff Gan
field. Cliff was 20 months in the
infantry in the South Pacific, made
two landings on Luzon and went in
to Japan with MacArthur's troops.
When he first got job in st. Cloud
with department store, his wife,
Sarah, and daughter, Karen lived
with her folks in a town in the
northern part of the state.
Others in the community followed
the lead of Mayor Murphy. Among
them were young Don Strack, who
returned from the army late in 1945.
Before the war, Don had worked
with his father, who is contractor.
Don wanted to build houses for his
pals. back from the army, and so
he started constructing easements.
He says that construction time is
about three to four weeks, not
counting delays for materials. Strack
has completed IL basement houses
and has several under construction
now.
Other people in the community
have built basement houses for sale
or rent to veterans. Among them is
Ralph Borrowman, city engineer.
And some vets have started to build
their own homes. George Schuler,
former sergeant, who spent %
months in the European theater, is
one who is building his own base
ment home.
A local church also is being built
like basement homes. Redeemer
Lutheran church has built a base
ment. which has two white crosses
rising above the hatchways now
used for entrances.

Children in Orphanage Because
of Housing Shortage" that was the
headline on story in the St. Cloud,
Mimi, Times-a story that went on
to say. Three applications were
made this week by parents seeking
admission for their children in the
ST. Cloud Orphans home. The par
ents were unable to rent or buy
living quarters. Rev. Jerome Biele-
jeski, in charge of the home, said:
This institution is no place for a
child with a mother and father who
can provide a home for him. Our
principal objective is to care for de-
pendent and neglected children and
orphans. These children have not
been neglected - except by soci-
ETY."
That was two years ago. It stirred
the people of st. Cloud They set up
an emergency housing committee
whose first action was to print a
!. blank form to be filed out by people
who needed homes. Within a few
days, 200 families had registered
nearly 1000 people with no place to
live.
To take care of the most urgent
cases, the town population 28.O00)
obtained 100 trailers and set up two
camps. Then it turned to the houses
which were being built-very slowly
because Of the lack of material. par
ticularly lumber. Also these houses

NEWS REVIEW
MOSCOW:
No agreement

The conference between U. S.
Secretary of State Marshall and
Premier Stain has achieved little
or nothing, in the opinion of Ameri-
can diplomats in Moscow The dead
lock between Russian and United
States delegations in the Council OF
Foreign Ministers seems no nearer
to solution. Basic disagreements
on the German peace treaty are toe
great, it is thought, for any easy or
rapid agreement.
This pessimistic view does not ex-
clude the possibility that some
minor concessions may be made by
the Russians for propaganda pur-
poses. It is not believed likely, how
ever, that anything important will
be achieved at this session. Hope
that the Austrian treaty would be
completed has pretty well faded.
Main stumbling block in all the
treaty negotiations is the Russian
demand for huge reparations. If the
Russians would retreat somewhat
from their position, some arrange
ment might be worked out. it is
admitted.
While there is considerable justi-
fcation for calling this conference

out that certain fundamental issues
have been aired, and that Secretary
Marshall has had an opportunity to

Record Wheat Crop Forecast

WASHINGTON - Although wheat
stocks in this country have been
drained to extremely low levels by
record-breaking movement Of grain
and -four to war-riddled European
countries, prospects are that the 1947
production will be sufficient for all

is revealed in department Of agri-
culture report.
The winter wheat crop is expected
to hit record Of 973, ,047 900 bushels
while the spring wheat crop is indi-
Gated at 265, 900. 900 bushels in pres
ent crop prospects. This output. the

over Of only 100000, 900 bushels on
farms as Of April /.
Although exports Of -four and raw
grain were the primary factor in
creating the low old crop stocks, high
prices served as another factor in
inducing farmers to sell their grain.
Feed grain officials also were un-
perturbed over reduced farm stocks
Of oats and barley, primarily be-
cause of a substantial increase in
corn stocks, compared with a year
ago, and the fact that the corn is Of
much better quality than in 1916.
Winter wheat was seeded under
favorable conditions and ample sup
plies Of soil moisture In the fall Of

1946 resulted in generally satisfac-
tory termination and excellent fall
growth. Cold winter weather has
prevented excessive early plant de-
velopment, thus improving yield
prospects.
Rye was reported planted under
generally favorable conditions in the
fall Of 1916. Growth and develop
ment Of the crop was said to be
satisfactory in the fall and early
winter because Of good moisture
conditions. but cold weather after
mid December retarded plant
growth. However, the crop has
progressed satisfactorily and no un.

TEXAS CITY BLAST:
Chaos Prevails

The explosion of the French
freighter Grandcamp in slip in
Galveston bay, Texas City, Tex,
was followed in rather fast order by
explosion of the freighter High
Flyer, as well as other explosions.
Both ships were laden with tons OF
ammonium nitrate.
It may be weeks before any reli-
able facts can be secured-even as
to the origin of the first blast. Hun
dreds lost their lives, the injured
may reach thousands and property
damage of millions is certain. The
loss to the Monsanto Chemical
plant, in immediate vicinity of the
initial explosion of the French YES
sci, will reach 20 million dollars.
Prompt assistance by state Off
cials, federal authorities and Red
Cross units as well as Houston, Gal
weston and other Texas firefghters
and police, the cooperation of air
lines, railroads and doctors, nurses
and ambulance workers, prevented
the loss in life from reaching sew
eral hundred more.
A few hours after the first blast
Texas City was the scene of chaos.
Ten fires sprang up within a few
hours. The concussion wrecked
buildings in the center of town, and
fires completed the destruction Of
many sections Of the industrial city.
The residential section was about
the only. section not leveled. Homes
and buildings in Houston. Galveston
and other cities were thrown open
to the evacueeS, who wandered
around in a daze. The shock was
felt 10 miles away and. the fires
could be seen for 100 miles. Even
airplanes exploded in the air.
