What Secretary Marshall Said
lNeW York Sun

tNeW York Sum
 Considering the brevity and direcness of Secretary Marshas talk at the Harvard Commencement on June the volume of misconception regarding what he said is amazing Many Europeans at once jumped to the conclusion that the Marshall plana simplfled laoei pinned to his remarks-waS some sort of blank checK that all Europe had to do was to agree on amounts to be filled in On this side of the Atlantic there was enough of the same type of thinking Secretary Snyder of the Treasury Department and Secretary Marshall to remind the public that the only aoVlce given to European countries was that they agree on what assistance they may need to supplement Cher own efforts toward recovery that on the basis of such a saf-inventory the United States would do what It could to help.
 Actually Secretary Marshali'S speech leaves little room for misunderstanding. It was only about LULU words long Its first wothirds was devoted to those conditions in Europe which make it obvious that for several years to that continent will be unable fully to support itself Then the Secretary noted that it would be logical for the United States to make any reasonable contribution toward economic recovery o the wosld; that such help should not be on plsce- meal basis; that should provide cure, not pal atve that it naturally would not include hep to any which moved to block the recovery oi other countries or sought perpetuate human misery for it's own political advantage With this introduction the Secretary presented directive in the following five sentences:
 It would be neither fitting nor effcacious
 for this government to undertake to draw up
 unilaterally a program designed to place Europe
 on it's feet economically This is the business
 of the Europeans. The initiative think must
 come from Europe The role of this country
 should consist of friendly aid in the drafting
 of 9 European program and of later support
 Of such program so far as it may be practical
 for us 10 do SO The program should be a joint
 one agreed to by 8 number. if not all, European
 nations
 There is nothing ambiguous about that. The friendly aid which Secretary Marshall mentioned pre- s,nably has been outlined by UnderSecretary Clay ton in the course of his talks with Prime Minister Attlee The rest is in the hands of the Foreign Ministers meeting in Paris.

 part of the reclamation funds ! slashed in the House of Represen- tatiVeS.
 Farm program-While the pri- vate power lobby was introducing nonregulation bills in the House of Representatives. Republican Lead CTS in the House slaShed approprla- tions for rural identification, also for soil conservation, crop insur- ance and other vital parts of the farm program. This caused a split inside Reprbllcan ranks with many Midwestern Republicans differing from their leaders. Finally the Sen ate, haraSsed by Democratic Sen- ator Russell of Georgia, restored a large part of the farm cuts.
 Public health-Last January, the President urged passage of an ade- quate medical-care program, not as charity but on a pay-as-you-go basis. Testimony which followed showed 18th century medical Stan- dards in some parts of the nation. However. the Murray Dingell- Wag- ner health insurance program was put on the shelf in favor of charity basis" health program by Senator Taft, available only to those taking a pauper's oath.
 Department of public welfare Though the President asked per mission to establish a new depart ment of public welfare, badly need cd for some years, and though this was supported by many national leaders, no legislation was passed.
 Military njustice-Despite shock ing abuses Of military courts-mar- tial under which enlisted men have lenguished in prison for petty of lenses, neither branch of Congress undertook any probe of military justice
 Mine safety-When the Centralia, H., mine disaster cost III lives, Congress started an immediate in vestigation and there were many sympathetic spe hes. However, Congress aojourns without taking any permanent step toward mine l safety
 Financial reccrds-Labor unions 1 are now required under the Taft
 Hartley Act to reveal their finan- cial records to the public. However, when Senators Morse of oregon and Taylor of Idaho introduced a bill requiring members of Congress i to register their own outside fees" with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the bill was promptly bottled up in the Rules Committee Senator CUrley Brooks oi Illinois did the bottling.
 : Minimum wage = Alter passing the Taft Hartley Act against labor Republican leaders decided to even 1 the score by raising the hourly minimum wage from 40 to 65 cents However, their COP colleagues re- fused to go along.
 On the other hand. there were some bright spots in the 80th Con- gress - namely Senator Vanden- i berg's broad-gauged handling of , foreign-affars legislation, Senator Bridges generally fair handling of 1 appropriations. Speaker Joe Mar tins levelheadeoness, Senator 1J,

 Thanks to Senator Tohey, New Hampshire Republican, the Senate Banking Committee reported fa- vorably, April 24 on the Taft Elender Housing Bill which would have been a great aid to veterans But though Taft was author of this iarsighted bill, he did nothing to push it. And since Tafts word is close to law in the Senate, he pro- bably could have passed it.
 Rents-Under the guise of con- tinuing rent control, Congress gave landlords the benefit of a gun point" Is percent voluntary rent increase which materially boosted the cost of living.
 Real estate lcbby-Every Wash ington newsman knew how fla grantly the rcal-eState lob by swarmed over Capitol Hill. Yet when President Truman urged it's investigation, several Senators, no- tably Brieker of Ohio and Reyer- comb of West Virginia, denounced him and claimed the lobby didn't eX st.
 Monopoly and small business When the White House urged leg islation to curb monopoly and to aid small business, Congress pro- ceeded instead to introduce and pass through che house: l. The Bulwinkle Bill giving the railroads oXempt.cn from the antitrust laws; 2. The Rizley Bills, exempting the big gas companies from certain types Of regulation by the Federal Power Commission. Congressman Miller, Connecticut Republican, al so came near securing passage of two b lis eXempting the power com panics from Federal Power Com missicn regulation, while Congress man Jones Of Ohio, now appointed to the EGG inserted rider pre- venting the Government from dis tributing the electric power gener- ated at Bonneville Dam, Grand Coulee and other Federal projects
 Education-W While school teachers were quitting by the thousands in almcst every state in the Union Congress stalled for six long months on bill to help the states increase teachers pay. Tn the end it passed nothing.
 Flood Control-While the worst floods in recent history ripped down the Mississippi-M Missouri Val leys, destroying crops and carry ing countless tons of topsoil into the sea, Congress refused to ap- propriate funds for flood control Furthermore, the House Appropria- tions Committee, led by John Ta- Der of New York and Robert Jones of Ohio even cut the Agriculture Departments soil-erosion program

GIANTS CONTINUE
WINNING STREAK
Mize Sets Scoring Mark
AS Ottm Bounce
Cubs Again, 5-3

CHICAGO, May 16 - up The
New York Giants won their fourth
straight victory of their current
western swing today, humbling
the league : leading Chicago Cubs
for the second time in a row, S
to 8, behind southpaw Monte Ken
nedy's eight-hit flinging.
Johnny Mize, Giant first sacker,
observed the occasion by setting
a National League record, scoring
in his 18th consecutive game. His
homer with one on in the fifth
put him across the plate. The old
mark of IS was held jointly by
Max Carey of Pittsburgh in 1924,
and Freddie Lindstrom of the
Giants in 1927.
The winners opened the scoring
in the first on Bill Rigney's double
and Mics single. The CuLs even
ed it up In the same frame when
Hack doubled, went to third on a
wild pitch and came in on a pass
ed ball as Phil Cavarretta walk
ed.
Two walks and two singles gave
the Giants a pair in the third,
and they concluded their scoring
in the fifth on Mics four-base
smash with Rigney aboard again.

Six Wildcats Earn Places
On Star Conference Nine
BY GENE WARREN
Star Shorts Writer

Selecting Al-Conference baseball
teams is always a throbbing head
ache for the persons doing the
picking because, of course, you
can't satisfy everyone. Some one
will undoubtedly growl, "this
player is better than this n and
-, but All-Star outfits keep
coming out in print whether it
be following a baseball, football,
or any other athletic season.
This year the sports staff Of the
Morning Star has gathered Stats
tics from all cities Of the Eastern
Glass AA Conference. After care
full consideration here are our
choices for the 1947 ll-Conference
club.
Stationed at first base on our
first team is Albert Poe, the eft.
3 in. Durham star, who batted
over 300 and fielded almost per-
fectly at that position. At second
is Paul Horton, Wilmington's dim
inutive keystoner and the second
highest batter on the New Hanover
High team with a 800 average. At
third base we name Alvin Hooks
of Rocky Mount. Hooks, a great
football player, guarded the hot
corner for the weak Rocky Mount
team brilliantly, and wound up
with a batting average over 300.
J. C. Price is the shortstop on this
All-Star club. He fielded as we'll as
anyone in the conference and slug
ged well over 800.
The outfield choices are Louis
Collie and Mike Austin Of Whining
ton in left and center field, and
Bill Kennedy Of Fayetteville in
right. Both Collie and Austin had
torrid batting averages, Austin
leading the conference with a AL
mark. Kennedy was Fayettevllle's
best stickman.
The catcher is easily Rudy John
son of Wilmington. Rudy. playing
his first year at New Hanover
High, batted over 1860 and had a
fine throwing arm. 1t was his hand
ling of pitchers that helped Her
man Wick finish the season with a
seven won, one lost record and
w. A. Brown with a four won, none
lost slate.
Both Brown and Wick were .selec-
ted on the first team pitching
staff along with Bob Bennett OF
Raleigh. Bennett. hurled five VIC
tories against one setback. =

Coast Liners, Eyemen
Roll Up High Scores

When two OF the best softball
teams meet two second division
outfits the results are usually one
sided and that is just what hap
pened last night in the Glass A
doubleheader at Robert Strange
park. The Atlantic Coast Line took
no pity on Alpha Omega in the
first game, running up a ISL win,
while in the second encounter City
Optical dropped the hapless Naval
Reserve club by the wayside with
a 1875 decision.
Leon Thomas, A. c. L. fling
er, eased to his third pitching
success against one setback In
the initial tussle by scattering
seven Alpha Omega hits, tanning
10, and walking two.
Exploding the most hits in the
15-hit railroad onslaught were
Herman Bailey with four for
four, Ken Raynor with two for
three, and Whedbee with two for
three including a triple. Jack
Worley and Eddie Hobbs led
Alpha Omega with two for four
each. Victims of the heavy-hit-
ting Ra11men were Clyde Jordan
and Ace Parker.
Seven errors on the part of the
Naval Reserve plus 16 base
knocks off Charlie Smith and Billy
Mason aided City Optical running
Up the 1875 score in the second
battle. The Eyemen scored five
runs in the first, eight in the Sec
ond, one in five, four in the sixth,
and one in the seventh as they
staged a wild-tallying exhibition.
Leading the Opticians run-making
parade were Boyce McPhatter,
who slammed a triple and double
in two official times up; Hugh
Griffith with a double, triple, and
homer in 5 trips at bat; and Bob
Ship with a double and one-bagger
in five attempts. Sheriff. Stick
land with one for one and Norman
Waters with two for three, a
homer, topped the losers hitting.
Robert Ship and Hugh Griffith
divided the pitching chores for
the Naval Reserve, giving up a
total Of six base blows.

FIRST TEAM
BY GLENN WILLIAMS

ST. ANDREWS, May is -P-
The top amateur golfers of Britain
and America battled to a dog-fall
today in the Scotch foursomes,
opening phase of. the first post
war Walker Cup matches, and
will square off still all even to-
morrow in the concluding eight
singles matches of the information
al classic over ME "old course"
Not only did Britain refuse to
yield an inch in today's four
struggles before close to 1000
spectators, but her straight-shoot-
ing sons knocked off two OF the
challengers most potent pairs,
Bud Ward-Smiley Quick and Dick
Chapman-Frank Stranahan, by
decisive margins.
Ted Bishop, the American anna
teur champion, a n d his long-hit-
ting partner, ,Skee Riegel, scored
the first of Americas two victo-
ries, closing out their Irish-born
opponents, Joe Carr and Cecil
Ewing, 8 and 2, on the Gath green.
Willie Turnesa and Fred Kam-
mer, Jr., contributed the other,
shooting steady and sometimes
brilliant golf to subdue the Scots
men, Alex Kyle and James Will
son, 5 and 4, after having gained
a two-up margin at 10 holes.
Ward, former American anna
teur king, and Quick, finalist in
last years amateur, received a
surprising 5 and 4 hiding from the
veteran English pair, Leonard
Crawley and Percy Lucas. The
winners, both of whom helped Bri-
tain capture the last cup matches
In 1888, gained an unbeatable five
