Bette Roland, attractive main
stay of the Takoma Park squad
won the Weeks 100-yard breast
stroke for her fourth consecutive
year. Using a butterfly stroke, Miss
I Roland jumped into an early lead
and held it throughout. A sprint
in the closing stages gave her the
race by 20 yards in 1:29.
Little Evelyn Barbee, pretty
blue-eyed brunette with you-all
accent, was the only out-of-towner
to top the local mermaids. The
Goldsboro IN. c. girl led the back
strokers all the way to dethrone
Leola Thomas Wahler, 1947 winner,
by length in 1:221. The pace,
however, did not threaten the rec
ord of 1892, set by Mrs. Wahler in
1945. Mrs. Wahler, an Ambassador
entry, retained the handsome Eve
ming Star Trophy, despite her sec
ond place, being the first District
swimmer to finish.

 In checking over the lease we find that there is no longer any lease. il having expired in 1922 There are no addenda attached showing that il was extended.

Dera Editor:
 Could it be possible we have " Fifth Columnists tremember Franco in Washington? If not, it seems that someone is literally sticking out their necks when they say abandon the railroad to the port of Seward. If war should strike at our front door and Whit tier were our only port of entry, l wonder if anyone could say just who was responsible for tearing up the railroad to Seward.
 There were good many thous- ands of tons of essential war mat erial moved from Seward to the interior during World War II, Material that could not be moved by airplanes.
 If we were sure of peace could understand such move; but with such a large segment of the national income being in. vested to insure peace; why cut off such an important artery. In comparison to money spent in de- fense this seems like just a drop in the bucket.
 You just can't pull a curtain across the best port in the terri. tory-even an iron curtain.

There is no doubt that the hos pilal needs a roof, according to those who know conditions.
 In 1882 l0-year lease was made between the Methodist Wo- mems Missionary Society of New York. an Ohio Corporation. and the City of Seward in which the price on the former schoolhouse and eight lots per year was set at $500 The city was obligated to take care of the outside. painting. roofing, etc. and was to be oc- cupied by the hospital exclusively and to be available to all physi- clans who had patients there.
 Rents from a doctors office if situated in the building. should therefore be paid to the city, and at one time this was agreed upon but at the present time the phy- sicians at the hospital is taking care of the Jesse Lee children in return for his office rent This is not fair arrangement for the City as this shows the City is furnishing physician for the Jesse Lee Home
 If the rent had been paid to the city and allowed to accumulate there would be enough cash on hand 10 pay for a permanent roof. namely about 5000 square feet covered with aluminium e $500 per square and an estimated cost of labor of about S400OO. This adds up to about Sl6OOOO.
 The City is in no condition to spend this money As the matter stands we see no reason why the city should spend this money even if it were available.
 The cost of a health nurse quarters amounts to S90O0O per year which the city must pay and is paying. Quarters for the nurse have been refused at the hospital because they state they are crowded.
 If the hospital is crowded it should be using more black ink on the ledger than red, and so be able to furnish the roof for themselves.
 It would truly be much better for charity to begin at home and send less money to New York for foreign missions in China or in India
 Because the city is unable to put up the cash for a roof at this time we are bound to say that the hospital could underwrite this expense and let the rent item

War Possibility Seen
II Reds Win Italy

A Communist victory in the April
10 elections in Italy ultimately may
lead to war, Joseph c. Harsch,
widely travelled radio and news
paper correspondent, said last night.
Mr. Harsch, news analyst for the
Colubia Broadcasting System and a
member of the Christian Science
Monitor news bureau here, was the
first speaker in series of four
lectures by prominent correspond
ents, in the Hotel Statler. The lee
lures are sponsored by Community

Mr.. Harsch pointed out that, II
Italy goes Communist, the West
will have lost something vital, in
asmuch as this would be the first
time Communist influence would
dominate any nation beyond "the
iron curtain"
If, on the other hand, Russia
loses out in the election, Mr.. Harsch
said he believes that nation might
relapse, just as it did after the
first post-Napoleonic period.
