IN RESPONSE to those who are
asking about the selection of an all
sectional team, we come forth with
this one. The officials in charge of
these tournaments have dropped the
practice of naming tournament
teams, SO all that can be drawn up
are strictly UNOFFICIAL. The fol-
lowing selections were picked on a
point basis from composite teams
chosen bv three separate judges and
are as follows:
FIRST TEAM -
Clyde Drake, f -------- Waterford
Merle Berry, f ------- Woodsfield
Bill Dunn, - MatamoraS
Nelson Stephens, 6 ------ Beverly
James McFerren. q ~ Waterford
SECOND TEAM
Lewis Riley, f -------- Woodsfield

THE NOBLE COUNTY LEAGUE
completed its first year of operation
in satisfactory manner headed by
County Superintendent H. c. Sc
crest. A few minor suggestions are
only comment needed on this SUBJ
ject. Cd Coaches might be a little
more prompt in getting results in
to the paper. Some had to be called
and others where there were no
telephones, had to be obtained in
other ways. (2) 1t should be agreed
to seed the two top teams for the
county tournament, despite the way
the tourney went this year. Too
much pressure in the upper bracket
spelled defeat for a couple of fine
teams. (3) 1t might be arranged to
hold the tournament drawing a
week earlier in order to permit more
widespread publicity and advertis-
ing of the event. This practice is fol-
lowed in several other nearby coun-
ties and need not be put off until
regular season play ends.
These suggestions naturally, are
up to the coaches, since it is THEIR
league. They, and they alone, can
improve it and create more specta-
tor interest.

FINAL STANDINGS, which were
crowded out at the close of the sea-
son by tournament play were as

Guide Dog Is Cleared
In Accident CAUSING
Injuries 10 lis Owner

. Akila, seeing-eye dog which was
leading Mrs. Esther Williams across
Constitution avenue at Twentieth
street NV, when she was struck
and seriously injured by an auto
mobile Monday night. today had
been cleared Of responsibility for
the accident by DR.. Seymour Wolf,
Arlington veterinarian.
The dog, female German Shep-
herd. has been the guide of Mrs.
Williams, Is, Of 1875 Franklin walk,
Falls Church, for eight years.
DR.. Wolf, a Coast Guard lieu
tenant IN charge of dog training
centers during the war, examined
Akila yesterday and stated he def
nitely did not find any physical
impairment which would make the
dog responsible for the accident. !"
: Treated Two Months Ago.
The examination revealed bro
ken tooth, q few cuts and possible
shock, he added.
DR.. VOLTS records disclosed he
had treated the dog for nervous
skin disorder two months ago. List
ing the dog as 9 years old, he said II
is very obedient and knows all the
commands.
Seeing-eye dogs normally serve for
10 years, he continued, until sight
and hearing impairment usually
cause them to lose their usefulness
= Akila, he concluded, is showing
her age, but has no organic diseases
Victim Slightly Improved.
Mrs. Williams, meanwhile, was re-
ported slightly improved at Emer-
gency Hospital, where she under
went an amputation of the right leg
following the accident. She was still
on the critical list today.
About a month ago her right
ankle was fractured when an auto
mobile struck her and Akila in Falls
Church while they waited for a bus.

Little America Tent Town
Calls for Men and Bread

LITTLE AMERICA, Jan. 20 (De-
layeO (P.-The cargo ship Yancey
will be sent back into the Bay Of
Whales tonight in response to a call
from Little Americas tent town for
more men and bread.
The supply ships Yancey and Mer-
rick and the Mount Olympus were
forced to leave the camp anchorage
and seek open water when north
wind began blowing huge iceberg
and chunks of ice into the bay.
Snow flurries swept the camp and
the three ships throughout the day
but the wind swung around to the
east late today.
Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen,
noting the favorable turn Of the
wind, said: "We hope to have better
weather here "a hours from now If
the wind shifts to the southeast"
It was be clear here by tomorrow
evening. There also is a chance the
weather will clear in the area Of the
carrier Philippine Sea, outside the
ice pack, a few hours earlier.
This means there is a possibility
that the transport plane with Rear
Admiral Richard E. Byrd, expedition
leader, may take off from the carrier
for Little America.
Admiral Cruzen said, however, ii
was probable the flight would be de-
layed until Thursday or Thursday
night.

Truman Studying Curb
|()n Removal Of Papers
BY Retiring Officials

President Truman Is giving
some thought to seeking re-
strictions on the withdrawal OF
public papers by cabinet officers
and other Government officials
for private use when they leave
Federal service, Press Secretary
Charles q. Ross said today.
Mr.. Ross made this known to re-
porters In the wake Of an official
request that Henry Morgenthau,
jr. return q major part" OF a
voluminous diary he took with him
when he left rs Secretary Of the
Treasury In July, 1945.
Former Secretary OF Interior
Harold i. Ickes also has gotten his
dander up over q report that he
had taken so fling cases Of Govern
ment papers with him when he
retired from the cabinet.
Mr.. Ross said 1t Is Mr.. Truman's
opinion that "ofiiciai papers" should
be left with the Government. He
added that the matter has not
been thought through" but has been
considered.
Ickes Calls Affair Personal.
The attempt to regain the Nor
genthau files, Mr.. Ross said, Is In
the hands Of Treasury Secretary
Snyder.
Irked by the report involving him,
Mr.. Ickes declared:
IT do not intend to permit any
one to insinuate his proboscis into
affairs that are strictly personal and
private"
The report was passed along to
newspapermen by an Interior De-
partment official who demanded
anonymity.
Formal statement Made.
Mr.. Ickes noted in a formal state
ment yesterday that his case thus
differs from that of Mr.. Morgen-
thau. ...
"At least Secretary Snyder. of
whom I have spoken disparagingly
on more than one occasion, has had
the manliness to do his own dirty
work." the Ickes statement said.
IF Mr.. Krug (Secretary of In
terior) has any observations to
make or any questions to ask,
they will be received courteous
ly and frankly" AS for the
unidentified source" Mr.. Ickes in
vited him to say who he is IF he
has the necessary CUTS to do so"
Undersecretary Comments.
No rush developed to take Mr..
Ickes up.
Oscar L. Chapman, who was Un-
dersecretary to Mr.. IckeS and holds
the same job under Secretary Krug,
commented:
'"To our knowledge he took only
his personal papers"
One of Mr.. Krugs right-hand men
said the Secretary has not been in
formed of any controversy involving
the files.
Mr.. Morgenthau has agreed that
if he has something Mr.. Snyder
wants ana needs among the 900
volumes OF his diary, he will give 1t
to the Treasury. s....

earnestly hoped for action soon. A
stadium long had been the subject
OF study by the commission, he said
and preliminary sketches had been
developed for q structure on Gov
ernment-owned land at the foot o1
East Capitol street.
Had Chosen Site.
The Planning Commission still
hopes its original plans will be con-
sidered when the new stadium com.
mission begins its work.
A site was selected by the planning
body on the north side of East
Capitol street. opposite the District.
National Guard Armory. There, ar
open air stadium was projected tc
seat from $4,000 to 10000 people, hi
said. BY placing 1t there, the large
parade ground and recreational field
to the east could be reserved fol
future great assemblages, such as
the Olympic games.
1t an enormous, covered stadium
of the size under consideration last
year were erected. he warned, IL
would have to be put on the parade
ground, where the circus usually
plays. This would eliminate the
possibility Of holding the Olympic
games here, he said, because OF
lack OF adequate space.
Reilly Urges Care.
The Bilbo plan called for an all
weather, aluminium top, marble
faced stadium Of grand proportions
with a huge array of exhibition
space which. he proposed, be used
for permanent exhibitions along
world fair lines.
Mr.. Reilly said a memorial sta
dunn was needed in the National
Capital.
"The project ought to be worked
out, however" he added, with
great care. We should explore ali
the possibilities. These would in
clude financing, location and many
other factors. The proposal is de-
serving of every consideration we
can give it."

His $4,000 900 valuation Of this

present values. with no exact cost

instances the property was acquired
by gift. For example the Emperor
of Ethiopia presented to the United

ture. not isolating the amount paid
in real estate taxes.
England's Rate Complicated.
England is the principal country
in which this Government has to
pay assessments on real estate, Mr.
Larkin said. He added he never has
been able to gain thorough under
standing Of the complicated English
system Of rates" varying in the
different local jurisdictions, which
are assessed on an occupancy basis
against tenants instead Of Landlords
If the property is rented. This coun.
try rents all the property 1t uses In
the British Isles now except for q
London Ambassadors residence.
Instead Of the .lump-sum real
estate tax familiar to Americans, the
English rates" are said to be levied
for specific purposes, such as gar
Ibage disposals, street lighting, fire
protection, public schools and Ii.
braries.
Mr.. Larkin and other ofiicials said
they Observation-Disclosures none
could be found who could provide
definite figures-that the United
States has to pay these rates" or
buildings 1t rents as well as owns
in England for purposes considered
Of specific benefit, like garbage dis
posal, but not for general purposes
like school maintenanceS.
Reports for the 1945 fiscal year
showed a total of $15,693 was al
lotted to the London Embassy fol-
taxes Of all kinds, but there was nc
breakdown on the amount actually
spent for the real estate rates.
New Proposal Being Negotiated.
i Preliminary negotiations for a
new consular convention with Brit
ain are in progress now. This Gov
eminent has suggested a provision
In the treaty for mutual tax ex-
emption which would eliminate
payment of the rates" on property
used for its consulates in the United
Kingdom. 1t still is uncertain
i whether the British will accept this
proposal.
4 officials pointed out that. while
Britain is not directly assessed real
estate taxes on property it rents
for its consulates in this country
the amounts paid for rent naturally
cover the taxes paid by the Ameri-
can property owners.
2! In many other countries wher,

governments now have applications
pending for tax exemption on prop
critics recently purchased. The total
assessed valuation of the properties
involved Is $795,934. When they are
taken OF the tax rolls, the aggregate
valuation of such tax exempt prop
srty will mount to $11,729,4l7, and
the loss in tax revenue to $205, ,264.
So far, however, the amount OF
foreign government-owned tax ex-
smpt property in the District is rela-
lively insignificant in comparison to
the total amount of properties OF
the tax rolls for other reasons. II
was proposed in the last Congress
that some. limit be placed on the
amount of land that might be
acquired by foreign governments
but nothing came Of 1t.
There are 30,999 acres Of land in
the District, excluding streets and
alleys. Foreign embassies and lega-
tions own $3.50 acres-less than /
per cent. In all, 81 per cent is
tax exempt.
Under the law. District ofncials
have no choice but to exempt from
taxation real estate owned by
foreign government when it is shown
the property actually is used for
official purposes by that government
Property owned by foreign govern
ment but rented to other users would
not qualify for exemption.
Few Own Other Property.
Few of the 81 foreign countries
which maintain embassies or lega-
tions here, most of them on theil
own property, own any real estate
in other parts of the United States
In most cases, they would not gel
exemption from taxes anyway.
The United States has treatie!

from real estate taxes that woulc
apply now to property owned b!
