Buried On Island

YAP, Caroline Islands.-(AP).
One of the loneliest American
graves in all the Pacific lies be-
meath the palm trees of this love-
ly little island. ,<
1t is the only American grave
on zap. No one knows the name
of the young flier who was buried
there by the natives after his
fighter plane crashed and burned
more than three years ago.
The grave is lonely, but it is
not forgotten. Each day the ma

'$3OO,OOO,OOO In
Taxes Returned,
Treasurer Says
INV The Associates Pres.l


WASHINGTON, March l3.-
John Snyder, secretary of the
treasury, announced today that
$3OG,0O0,00 has been returned of
income taxes to Americans who
had paid excessive amounts.
Seven million taxpayers, he add
ed, received returns from Uncle
Sam.
Snyder stressed the accelera-
ton with which the treasury
sent back the money to the seven
million.
He, said he reaffirmed the
Presidents opposition to cutting
income taxes at this time. He ia
vored, instead, reducing the pub
lie debt. He explained that when
the time is opportune to cut
taxes, the cuts should be confined
to taxpayers paying in the lower
brackets.

pressing IAN extremely favor
able" reaction to his message
to Congress yesterday asking
$400, 100000 for aid to Greece
and Turkey, Presidential Press
Secretary Charles G. Ross said
this morning.
The number of kilograms sent
to Mr.. Truman in Key West Is
especially worthy of note, Ross
remarked, since the President
rarely receives an expression OF
opinion on such a scale when
away from Washington. Hun
dreds of kilograms were reported
received at the Capitol.
The President went to bed

the Caribbean Sea trip which
! the President was to have taken
but which was cancelled last
week.
Ross said Mr.. Truman has no
plans to 60 aboard the yacht and
had no definite plans as to what
he would do this afternoon. The
President would do some fishing
during his stay, in all probability,
the press secretary said. MIR.
Truman intends to remain here
until Sunday night or Monday.
Ross said that the Presidents
personal physician. Brig. Gen.
Wallace Graham, is not in the
presidential party. The Generals
absence ought to prove. the sec
rotary added, that Mr. Truman is
not a sick man as has been re-
ported in some places. Such re-
ports are greatly exaggerated.
Ross explained.
"The President is merely in
need OF, a rest. He is in good
health and does not even have
a cold" Ross concluded.

CPS Urged To Make
Plans Now For
Entering College

Former service men and women
planning to enter college under the
G. /. Bill for the first time this fall
were again urged today by the
Veterans Administration to make
all arrangements for enrolment
without delay.
Mr.. E. H. LeRoi, Veterans Adj
ministration Contact Representa-
tive for Prince Georges County,
pointed out that educational insti-
buttons will be crowded this fall
and that veterans who wait until
the last minute may have difficulty
finding an opening.
Veterans entering school for the
first time must obtain a certificate
of eligibility from the VA, Mr.. Lee
Roi added. This indicates the
amount of education or training a
veteran is entitled to under the
G. l. Bill. The veteran presents the
certificate to the institution when
he matriculates.
Veterans re-enrolling at the same
school they have been attending do
not need another certificate. How
ever, those who transfer to another
-
institution must obtain a supple
mental certificate.
In Laurel, veterans may make
application for a certificate through
the VA itinerant Office located at
the Legion Home or at any other
VA Office.

County Baseball League

FAINT for Sandy Spring.
Although Sandy Spring made
two errors and Gaithersburg played
errorless ball, there was too much
power exhibited when the Sandy
Spring batters stepped up to the
plate. At the end of the contest the
Gaithersburg manager was found
mumbling TO himself. 1t was impos-
sible to ascertain whether he was
making reference to Selby-on-the-
Bay, Selbyville or some Joe"
named Selby.
Cissel Saxon, which has devel-
oped terrific penchant for ending
up one run short in each game,
continued according to form when
Bethesda beat them 6 to 5 on the
Bethesda ball field. With Pngh
pitching to Sperau, the Cissel Sax
on veterans were held to eight hits
while Bethesda rollected IL bingles
from the offerings of Ed and Jack
Schrider, Anglo Saxon brothers
and brother members Of the Cissel
Saxon pitching staff. Each team
made one error, or one arrow as we
sometimes say when ordering beer.
The big surprise of the Mont
gomery Circuit, baseball that is,
was Morningside's startling SO
victory over Greenbelt. Bill Her
bert, who does the fiinging for the
laundrylnen, held the apple belt
ers from Uncle Sans better homes
and gardens project to a skinny
total of three hits. 1t was the five
errors made by Morningside along
with several free passes to first,
that enabled the Greenbelt nine to
ring up six runs. Nevertheless, in
the final analysis, Morningside's 10
hits off of Alexander and Crout-
hamel were enough for eight runs
and the victory margin necessary
to throw the Herbertmen into tie
for second place in the Montgom-
cry Loop.
Next Sunday, August Gath, should
find Cissel Saxon at Potomac in a
game which the Saxonme1i would
like to win but which Potomac is
figured to cop by comfortable
score. In fact the Potomac A. C. is
so confident of victory that Peyton
doc" Mannar, the clubs biggest
athletic supporter, has indicated
that he would do the pitching him
self except for the fact that he is
not carried on the roster of active
players. ~"
Other games will see Silver
Spring attempting to get back in
the race by going to GaitFersburg
in search of their fourth win, while
Sandy Spring will be playing at
Colesville in an effort to unseat
Colesyille's tie for second place ii,
the League standings. Morning
side, also tied for second in the
pennant scramble, viii meet Rock
vile on Welsh Field, deep in the
heart Of the County Seat. Green
belt will put their 500 average on
the line at Bethesda and if Pugh is
as effective as Herbert was last
week, the Greenbelt average might
fall to 400 by night-fall.
