The tactics that J. S. Flipper's
combination used both in the finals
and to dispose of Glendale in the
semi-final, completely forestarIed
any attempts of the opposition to
employ the fast break. Several

With the Eighth Army in Kobe,

Carver, Kobe, recently observed
George Washington Carver Day"
on honor of the great Negro scien-
tist and founder of the Carver

by the 18th Army Band, summa-
ry of the life of Doctor Carver by
First Sergeant Nolan Bailey, of
Louisville, KY, and an address by
Lieutenant Colonel Judson Smith,
former commanding officer of
Camp Carver.
Miss Gladys Martin of New York
City, club director, presented a por-
trait of Doctor Carver to Major
LeMoine E. Isandi, present COM
mander of the post.
Formerly known as West Camp,
the installation was renamed Camp
Carver on February II, 1947. Prior
to the remaining, a contest was held
among the men of the camp, and
the name of Doctor Carver was
chosen from a list of twelve prom
inent Negroes.
In choosing the name, George
Washington Carver, the soldiers
paid tribute ito one of the great
scientists of modern times.
Doctor Carver was awarded the
Spingarn Medal, an award made
each year to the Negro who has
made the most significant achieve
ment in fostering better race rela-
tions and in 1882 he was awarded
the Franklin D. Roosevelt Medal.

Too often 1t had merely meant a time to
stop work. after some laboratory experiment
carried on far into the night; symbol that
he must admit another grueling failure to find
his way through the painless forest of science
But now. in this quickened instant, he saw
the dawn for what it was. Bright, gilded
promising offering its twelve daylight hours
without favor or prejudice to all on earth to
do with as they pleased.
He turned away from it, passing hand
across his eyes and down over the short stub

arm had begun to swell slowly, almost imper-
ceptibly, in the area of the injection.
This was the way it worked - 763X - slow
as browsing rattlesnake, just as deadly
when it struck. The white mice they'd tested
had appeared normal for six hours after the
injections. Then, just when it seemed the
experiment would succeed, death had struck
through both cages; violent, irrevocable.
IARLYLE thrust the memory from his mind.
He bad tried this experiment on himself against
the advice of his co-workers and his own bet
ter judgment - tried it in a moment of
exhaustion, when fatigue stood at his elbow,
Jogging his vision, clouding his mind
Reaching for 764X, he had taken up the
old 763X, the very serum that had already
been tested and proved fatal!
Now, too late he saw what his error would
cost him. There was no known antidote He
must see this day through with the cool de-
b,I - =:
would be his last experiment. His last day
on earth.
He took up his pencil and began to jot the
necessary data in his notebook in quick,
jerky scrawl. There was slim chance that
he could still be of some USE Science might
learn through his error.
Semler came in before he'd quite finished,
and with brief nod set about his work. 1t
gave Carlyle strange feeling - like SPY
almost - to watch young Semler, so sure of
life, fowning over his. test tubes. He wanted
to warn the younger man; to tell him that life
was only a loan and a brief loan at that - and
that he must spend it we'll spend it now!
"Semler -" he began. But the fierce dis
cipline which the laboratory forced upon
them, made the words come hard He rose
restlessly and crossed the room to the window.
Spring had laid her first magic across the
city in a pale web of green. Between the bricks
and masonry, in empty lots and neglected
back yards, the earth had come alive again -
resurgent and triumphant
How long, " Carlyle wondered aloud, "how
long, Semler since you've taken real vaca-
ton and gotten into the country, where
there's fresh earth and open sky overhead
and plenty of air to fill your lungs WITH"
Semler was staring at him strangely through
his heavy-lensed glasses. And there was some
thing about the young scientist both confused
and childlike; as if he had become lost in the
world of test tubes and could not find his way
out again.
How gaunt he was, Carlyle thought! No
color in his lean face; and even his blue eyes,
strained and weak from search, seemed to

noCToR CARLYLE knew, moment after he
IL inserted the needle and watched the fluid
drain slowly into his arm, that something had
gone wrong.
1t came to him, in slow capitalization of
horror, that the test tubes were not in their
right order. And when he checked the num-
bers again, with an almost desperate precision,
he saw what he had done.
He, Doctor William Roy Carlyle. at the
peak of a great career in research, had in,

to the Marxist principle that capital
ism cannot avoid depressions, unem-

The NelU York Times said Vargas
mistake was in concluding that OBJ
Jective economic analysis compelled
him to adopt positions on the postwar
relationship between the Soviet Union
and the western democracies that in
every instance were the complete OBJ
posite to what are now basic tenets

The Times said the official report
Of the Soviet Academy discussion of
his book showed these among his con-
illusions:
There is no likelihood Of an eco-
nOmic crisis in western capitalism
during the first 10 postwar years.
Democratic capitalism can plan for
lts economy as a whole.
CapitalistiC countries did not en-
rich themselves by war.
The economic situation Of the more

Heat Pump

HeOI FUmP
An electric cheat pump" designed
to heat a house by taking warmth
from the earth or from ordinary tap
water went on display this week for
the first time at the fifth annual Re-
frigeration and Air Conditioning Ex-
position in Cleveland.
The machine, slightly larger than
a home refrigerator, operates on the
same principle. It is built by the GEN
eral Engineering & Manufacturing Co.,
st. Louis, which expects to get it into
mass production this spring.
At the exhibit, the machine oper-
ated on tap water. Installed in a house
basement, it will draw heat from the
ground through tubing buried FIVE to
fifteen feet. Earth temperature at
Cleveland, for instance, stays at about
So degrees a few feet under the sur
face.
The heat pump extracts heat, boosts
it by compression and releases it in
the same way refrigerator draws
heat from food.
In summer, the company says, it
can be reversed to pump heat from
the house and release it outside.
