Asiaiie Rice Shortage
Ended Temporarily by
Increase in Supplies
by HE Asseeicssd Press

SINGAPORE, April Slight Ash
attic nations reported yesterday that
increased supplies have ended, at
least temporarily, the eastern rice
crisis.
The Philippines injected a note Of
pessimism, however, when it told the
monthly conference of Southeast
Asia Food Liaison Officers that it
will fall about 10 per cent short of
meeting its own rice needs in l948
because of series of typhoons.
The Philippines delegate, A. v.
lance, said there already were in
dications of rice boarding in his
country.
Last year the Philippines had a
surplus which it loaned to The
Netherlands East Indies and other
rice-short neighbors.
Hong Kong, Malaga, Ceylon,
Sarawak, the East Indies, India,
Siam and Burma all reported sharp
ly improved supplies Of rice. This
Is primarily due to increased ship
ments from Burma and Siam.
The Indies, where the shortage
had been the most acute, said ship
nents were so improved there was
difficulty in finding storage space.
Burma reported it expected to ex-
ceed by 100000 to 100000 tons its
promised l948 export quota of / ,500,-
600 tons of rice and rice products.
BY next year Burma said it ex-
pected to have 10,500,00O acres of
rice under cultivation with an ex-
port surplus of 100000 tons.
Siam. which previously had failed
often to meet its export quotas, re-
ported that shipments now were sat

ing speedy shipment Of the crop

Il CHAMPIONSHIP Score

The finest championship golf
score of the year to date was
Claude Harmon's 279 at the Augusta
Nationals Masters show. It was
better than Ben Hogan's 275 at
Riviera, where the next open will
be played.
There have been endless discus
siOns of what a championship
score should be, but Harmon has
slipped in the best answer to
date. The Augusta National was
keyed to its toughest test in every
way. Riviera wasn't, with its
rough cut, its baked-out fairways
and its soft greens.
l doubt very much that 2S3 will
be broken at Riviera in the Ma
tional Open. And Harmon happens
to be a golfer who is quite capable
OF winning a U. S. Open or the
PEA.

his health was better. He was in

longer content to pull up and let
other horses place and show. Now
ne was riding them out. All the
way. He also was taking mar

times. He was the old Areara Of
winning years.
Then he came back East again.
He began winning on opening day
at Jamaica. He has been winning
ever since.

The MP. slang for National Pas
time) is running out of pitchers.
The MP. needs more than double
its present allotment of right or
left arms that can get the ball over
the plate with enough stuff to baf-
file the batter now and then.
Last year, for example, the Dodg-
ers were good enough to win a
pennant with a pitching staff COM
posed Of three or four-inning hurl-
ers. They usually needed four or
five pitchers to finish out one game.
Yet they won a pennant.
The American league had only
eight or 10 pitchers who were able
to. finish games. Both. leagues We're
shy Of arms that could locate a
plate or go the distance,
Old-time pitchers such as Ed
Walsh, Walter Johnson, Christy
Mathewson, Pete Alexander and
Cy Young could individually out
pitch the. greater part of an en-
tire modern staff.
Bob Teller could and can handle
his share of work. So can Hal
Newhouser, Ewen Blackwell and
Warren SPAIN.
Few pitchers today can work $50
innings in season. johnson,
Walsh and other old-timers were
pitching more than 400 innings a
year. Any pitcher who can't work
$50 innings shouldn't be listed as
starting pitcher. He is certainly
no part of a regular. Yet, few
pitchers now getting relieved around
the fourth inning could think of
working 200 innings without an at
tack of palsy.

Inspector Russell Halves said,

that Mrs. Gray was ordered to ride

and the men threatened to kill
the couple. Mr.. Gray said he and
