American Legion g Defeated By
Cambridge 1912. New Concord AZ

The Legion baseball team dropped
two games last week, bowling to
Cambridge 1912 in ten innings, and
losing out to New Concord last Sat-
urday.
Thursdays game with Cambridge
was a typical slugfest, Caldwell
banging out Is hits to the winners
IL. Baker with for and Hanes
with for were the big guns,
while Bill Murrey collected three
hits in six times at bat.
Ten Caldwell errors spelled de-
feat, as Cambridge pushed over five
runs in the first two innings on
one hit. The locals tied up the game
in the seventh when they pushed
across five runs, and even took a
momentary lead but the visitors
tailed one in the eighth to send the
game into extra innings. A four run
splurge in the top half of the tenth
clinched the game.
Saturdays game at New Concord
was a closely fought pitchers battle,
each side collecting seven hits, but
Caldwell ended on the short end OF
a Az score. Ferguson banged out
three hits in four trips to take bat
ting honorS for the day.

Taft Predicts Aid Boost For Vets

At a press conference IN his suite
at the Deshler-WalIick hotel, Sen
ator Robert A. Taft said that Con-
gress will again take up the question
Of increased educational benefits to
veterans at its next session.
Taft remarked that the proposed
subsistence boost, although passed
by the Senate, had been deferred by
the House because of the release of
terminal leave bonds for immediate
cashing. He added that Congress has
authorized an increase in veterans
disability payments and in farm and
on-the-job training benefits. Taft
said he was greatly interested in on
the-job training. which should be
closely watched" to prevent misuse.
Senator Taft was in Columbus to
meet with the Republican State
Central and Executive Committee
which has endorsed him as Ohio's
favorite presidential candidate for
l948.
The proposed boost in educational
benefits for veterans means much
to many vets from Noble county
now attending school at Ohio state
and various other universities and
colleges.

Caldwell Merchants Top Cambridge
Ill For Third Win OF Week

The fast-stepping Caldwell Mer-
chants went on rampage at Cam
bridge last Sunday to swamp the
highly-touted Red Sox Ill for their
third win of the week. ByeSville was
defeated 81 on Thursday, and Belle
Valley showed under Ito on Friday.
All Caldwell players hit safely ex-
cept Oliver as the victors belted out
IL hits, while Frank Boyd was linn
iting Cambridge to four. Lobby
Mazgay led the attack with three
hits, followed by Dick Davis and Ed
Mazgay with two each.
The winners played errorless ball,
while the Sox committed three
miScues.
Cambridge scoring chances were
snuffed out by three double plays
as Caldwell racked UP win number
10 in IL starts. A return game with
Pleasant City All Stars will enable
them to even the score on Sunday,
August IL, at the Caldwell fair
grounds.
The Byesville game last Thursday
was a seven inning affair with the
visitors scoring two runs on two hits
in the first inning off pitcher Buzz
Clark. The Merchants came back to
tally three in the second and two in
the third for a So lead.
Clark was pulled out in the third
after being struck on the pitching
arm by one of Tulips deliveries. He
was replaced by Dave Stellfox, ST.,
who pitched shut-out ball for the
final four innings, allowing only one
hit and tanning eight.
"Bud" Tilton limited Belle Valley
to three hits on Friday night to
register a ITO shut-out. Steve NAL
enda, went all the way for Belle
Valley and was touched for IL hits
including a homer by Grant Davis
and triule by Oliver.

APPRECIATES A BAND
Teters Studio

Two out-of-toWn people, attend

ming, were overheard to make this
remark:
Surely that band must be from
another larger town, considering the

it must be from Caldwell as the

there is very little if any scattered
applause"

W-ONE FUNNY RULE that can

up recently was called by veteran
umpire Cal Hubbard, who waited
IL years for the play to occur. The
rule states-"If the fielder stop or
catch batted ball or thrown ball
with his hat, cap, glove, or" any part
of his uniform, while detached from
its proper place on his person, the
runner or runners shall be entitled
to two bases if thrown ball or
three bases if a batted ball"
The rule doesn't specify if the
batted ball is fair or foul, so Murrell
Jones of the Boston Red Sox was
awarded triple on a foul ball along
third base in a game with St. Louis
recently. Bob Dillinger, Browns
third baseman, threw his glove at
the ball and Hubbard waved the
batter around to third.

Visitors in Shanghai
Find Exchange Rate
Is Costly Headache
BY the Associated Press

SHANGHAI, July 14.-The off
cial rate of exchange" racket-you
can dignity 1t with all the official
cliches in the book but it's still a
racket-is probably more painful to
American travellers in Shanghai
than any other spot on the globe.
Before they let you off the ship
in Shanghai, the customs people
queue you up so you can exchange
your good United States money for
Chinese money-which is not so
good.
Few Americans have had much
experience with dual currency. So
this intrigues them at first. They
can buy $4,000 Chinese dollars for
one American dollar. It sounds like
a lot of money. But it isn't.
The next day when the American
gets ashore, he finds that on the
open market-that's the black
market-the same United States
dollar will bring $4,000 Chinese dol
lars. And he discovers that the
price of food, drink, lodging. silks,
mandarin coats and jade is fixed a
lot nearer the $4,000 level than the
10000 level.
Cannot Reconveft.
Compared with the black market
he got about % cents to the dollar
when he traded his money at the
official rate. Compared with price
levels he received about 40 cents to
the dollar. The Chinese government
got the rest.
When the American visitor leaves
China he cannot convert his Chinese
dollars back into United States
money at the official rate. He'll
have to go to a black marketeer
whose buying rate is not as good
as his selling rate. AS far as the
government is concerned, the official
rate of exchange is a one-way
transaction.
Sailors on merchant ships who
drew money before going ashore in
Shanghai and found themselves
shortchanged in this legal fashion
got in the habit of taking it out on
rickshaw coolies and other water
front denizens at the edge of Hong
kew. When they found out the ex-
tent and manner in which they had
been clipped, they began punching
any Chinese within reach.
Some Americans Smart.
Now they are smart. They do not
draw money in Shanghai or if they
do, they smuggle it ashore and con-
vert it on the open market. This is
illegal. But it can be done openly
and unmolested within a stones
throw of the Foochow road police
station.
American residents in China
scarcely mention the official rate of
exchange except to speculate as to
when new one might be set When

More powerful insecticides than
DDT for various bug pests lie in
the immediate future.
Notable among these is benzene
hexachloride which, recent Agricul-
ture Department tests at the Belts
vile Md Experiment Station have
shown, is very effective against
house flies when used as spray.
It also is extremely potent in
ridding soil of chiggers, experiments
by DR.. E. r. MCGOWAN of the
Beltsville station have shown. AS

acre will give complete control for
several weeks. Formerly fields were
busted with sulphur and it was
necessary to use 100 pounds to the
acre to do any good. DOT is almost
useless for this purpose.

black market rates are about the
same for a few days. But as China's
currency continues its nonstop fall
toward zero-minus, the open market
rate climbs until 1t is three, four
or five times the official rate. The
Chinese government. pretending its
money is sound, clings to the official

Can't Be Done Now

Addressing the Medill School of
Journalism, Northwestern University,
Kent Cooper, executive director of the
Associated Press, declared i%nterna-
tional amity can best be attained by in
ternational news exchange instead of
the "~discredited method" of govern
ment propaganda.
Of course Mr.. Cooper is correct. The
question is how can the free and I'M
biased interchange of news be estab-
lished between the democratic nations
and the Russian satellites and the
Soviet Union.
Russian news is all censored. Only
what the Russian ruling clique cares
to have generally known is published.
BY the same token only what the
Moscow regime cares to let the Rus
slams know of what goes on outside
the Soviets is permitted published in
Russia or it's puppet states.
The Russian press is a propaganda
machine solely.
Unless and until Russia removes
the binders from the Russian people
and trades in news as it ought to be
trading in commercial markets, but
doesn't, there is no hope that Mr..
Cooper's plan for news interchange
will become a reality.

It Is Wilmington College

When the campaign for a new educa-

1T was properly known as a junior col
lege project. That was as far as the

other forward-looking organizations,
foresaw the possibility for expanding
this areas advanced educational oppor.
tunity.
Since the successful conclusion of
that campaign, and due to the Board
of Education's greater program, it has
been christened Wilmington College.
The word junior has been eliminated.
This is the decision of the school
board and is accounted for by the fact
that all technical and vocational
courses, which have been conducted by
the University of North Carolina, are
to be taken over by the college in addi-
ton to the regular academic courses.
What a fine thing it would be if the
way were opened for adding two years
to it's courses in addition to the two
now in the curriculum. 1t is an objec-
tive worth promoting for the future.

Hoover Speaks Up

AS u highest authority OF relief
and rehabilitation, former President
Herbert Hoover's views on the Truman
foreign policy, the need for American
aid in our occupied areas, and an in
dependent peace with Japan and the
portion of Germany not behind the Rus
sian iron curtain are to be respected
and studied with deepest attention.
Information, too, that Mr. Hoover
is making a survey for President Tru-
man Of Americas resources with a
view to determining how long the
United States can continue foreign re-
lief contributions without exhausting
domestic supplies is notable news.
In his appearance before a House
subcommittee on appropriations, Mr..
Hoover gave his support to the War
Departments request for $3.50, 600, 900
for food and other relief and rehabili-
tation requirements in our occupied
areas.
He further says that nothing is to
be gained by waiting for Russia much
longer to agree to satisfactory peace
terms. He believes Russia should be
offered one more opportunity to obey
the agreements reached at Potsdam
and that if Russia does not take prompt
and favorable action, the United States
should make peace with Japan and the
western Germans.
The New York Times quotes him
as saying the intransigence OF Russia
(and France) in not implementing the
Potsdam agreement has led to a situa'
