University Notes

Research projects Of the Univer-
Eity Of DelaWare's Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station were reviewed
ana forecast by station staff mem-
bers on March 18 at a meeting In
Gov. Walter W BacOn's Office In
Dover before the Governors agri-
cultural advisory committee.
keynote Of the conference was
cooperation among farmers, the
state and the university. Referring
to this, Governor Bacon said that
she considered the already existing
cooperative effort to be an example
for the future and added that he
hoped the committee would meet to
further the program in the future.
'The theme Of cooperation is Just
beginning really to bear fruit" he
commented. Zone Of the ways in
which we can help obtain the de-
sired results is continued support
Of our university"
Dr.. c. NJ A. Stine, chairman Of
the committee, emphasized the
need for "research-mindsdn IN
the university's making available to
agricultural experiment work the
efforts Of staff researchers no mat
ter what their speciality.
DR.. William s. Carlson, president
Of the university, explained that
this intra-university research was
coordinated through DR.. Allan p.
COlburn, assistant to the president
and adviser on research. 1--WE feel
that all departments Of the univer-
sity have a contribution to make in
this field" he declared.
DR.. Colburn commented that 1--WE
are moving firmly forward in in
teresting other members Of the
stan in your problems are ex-
tremely interested In agricultural
problems"
Experiment station staff men,
bers who outlined the programs of
their departments were: Eugene
P. Brasher, head of the department
Of horticulture; John w. Heuberg-
or, head Of the department OF plant
pathology; L. A. Stearns, head Of
the department Of entomology: A.
p. TOmhave, head of the depart
ment of animal and poultry indus
try. George M. WOrFiloW, director
Of the experiment station and of the
agricultural extension service,
summarized the overall program OF
the experiment station.
Tt is impossible to grow fruit in
Delaware without control of plant
diseases, and the same is practical
~ true for vegetables" said DR..
Heuberger in outlining the present
research in pathology at the ex-
pertinent station. "At the moment,
it is necessary to apply fungicides
for the control of most Of the dis
eases. While plant disease control
by the use of fungicides cost mon
ey, it actually decreases the cost
per unit of products because yield
and quality are increased"
After enumerating several cur
rent and future research projects,
Dr. Heuberger said: "The short
term research will be directed to-
ward finding the best immediate
answer to existing problems on
fruits and vegetables. The long
term research, conducted stimuli
taneOusly, will be so designed as ia
obtain fundamental facts that will
serve as the basis of future applied
research.
Starting this season, research
will be begun on the possibility Of
controlling root, foliage and fruit
diseases Of vegetables by applying
fungicides to the soil. We already
have certain preliminary informa-

Says Loan Companies

Business

company has all it's time payments
handled by loan companies.
To cover up their prejudices,
most of the loan companies claim
that Negroes generally default on
their payments. This is simply not
true. Proportionately they are no
worse than whites in this respect.
This excuse reminds one of the
excuses against using Negroes in
major league baseball. Bigots
claimed they were not good
enough or that harmful friction
would occur The Brooklyn Dod-
gers with Robinson and Campo
nella and the Cleveland Indians
with Paige and Dolby are living
testimony to that lie.
There is a lot of talk going
about these days about Democra-'
cy. Negroes are getting sick and
tired of hearing so much about
what they see so little of. 1t is
such things as this callous loan
company discrimination which
make them stop and wonder about
it all. 1t was an indignant pros
pective woman customer who met
with this unbearable discrimina-
ton when she asked about pur-
chasing a bicycle for her son at
Dayes.
W. suggest the loan companies
for their own good as well as for
the good of Negroes Immediately
alter their policy. They can take a
lesson from the manager of Dayes
who seemed sympathetic, and who
indicated that he would do what
he could do to effect the time
payment for this particular Gus
toner.

A direct accusation against To-

tend credit loans to Negroes was
made Saturday by the manager of
a Third street bicycle shop. 1t has
been we'll known that Negroes in
Dayton are ruthlessly discrimi-
mated against by loan companies,
but it is difficult to get any di-
rect admissions.
The manager of Daye's Cycle
and Supply company at 2948 West
Third street, admitted to the Daily
Express that loan companies
would finance purchases from
only about 2 per cent of his Ne
gro customers. He stated that the
City Loan was one of the few
who would finance purchases by
Negroes, and they would only do
it for a very limited number. The

NEW YORK, Aug. %. (ANP)
-T-Men of the u. S. Treasury
department have been set on the
trail of the Ku Klux Khan as a
result of a plea made by the Non
S~ectarian Anti-Nazi league, back
ed up by Rep. Arthur Klein of
New York, the league revealed
this week.
The revenuers have gone after
the Kluxers on account of an un-
paid feredal tax bill for $685.

the past two years the three-quar-

This revelation was made in a

HOW THE TRIPLE PLAY WAS

has brought forth muc discussion
as to how it was executed and

times regarding the play for a
description on the play.
Here is how the playwent: The
Buckeyes batting in the lower half
of the 3rd inning, sent Leon Kell-
man to the plate and he walked /;
Clyde Nelson following Kelman,

Kelman to second on the hit; Will
lie Grace, the third man up, hit
to Shortstop Sammy Bankhead,
who tossed to Nat Bruce for the
first put out and Bruce rifled the
ball to Buck Leonard for out
number two. Kellman in the mean
time had moved down to third on
the hit ball and Gene Bremen who
was coaching at third, waved
Kellman around third to the home
plate. Buck Leonard seeing the

Wherefore university discon-
tinued football today, erasing from
the books an eight game schedule

thereby yielded the fiel dto the
rival Wherefore State college,
which is operated by the state

ball teams operating from the

This situation developed from a
split at the university, once ope-

He is the third American military
governor of Germany, but he ac-
tually has been in charge of occu-
patton policies from the start. He
served as deputy military governor
under his two predecessors, Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney.
Although Gen. Clay has never
commanded combat troops he has
conducted more inspections of his
troops in Germany than both his
predecessors combined and he takes

Gen. Clay chain smokes, consum-
ing three packs of cigarettes per

puts kinetic energy into everything
he does.
He is extremely popular with the
press, German as well as Allied, be-
cause he is always frank and ac-
cessible.
Symbolic of Gen. Clay's occupa-
ton policies is the always open
door which connects his office with
that of his personal assistant, WAC
Capt. Margaret Allen. 1t is not
even closed when Gen. Clay is in

Clay decreed for his administration
-"open decisions openly arrived at,

are concerned"

! Gen. Clay was described during
the war by one of his earliest back
ers, former Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes, as "a man who could
run General Motors or Gen. Eisen-
hower's armies
In November, 1914, when a crisis
developed in the supply line to Al
lied forces on Cherbourg Peninsula,
Gen. Clay was summoned from
Washington and is credited with
being largely responsible for break
ing the bottleneck in short order
In 20 days he had doubled the flow
of troops through the battered port
and In three more weeks Cher

per cent. From that job he went

In some respects Gen. Clay is
still the engineer. Some observers
feel he handles creation of a demo-
cratic Germany as something of an
engineering operation, with himself
at the controls.
He laid down for the occupation
formula known as the -Four
D's" - de-Nazification, demilitariza-
ton, decentralization and democra-
ticization. Even his critics concede
that he has executed these with

with, as one put it, more resound-

and its 25,000 Allied inhabitants
are extremely glad the Department
of the Army turned down his re-
quest for retirement last october
Gen. Clay is the best-known
American in Germany-perhaps the
best known man of any nationality
He is widely known even behind the
iron curtain of the Russian occu-
patton zone, if only through the
inyective hurled at him daily by the
Communist press.
Berliners even call the new
Deutsche mark introduced by the
Western Allies the CLAY Mark II
is noteworthy that this money is
widely preferred to the "Sokolovsky
Mark" the Soviet-sponsored cur
rency which is nicknamed after
Gen. Clay's Russian counterpart
Marshal Vastly D. Sokolovsky.
Germans Cheered by Flag
Millions of Germans, in the sur
rounding Russian zone as well as in
Berlin, look hopefully upon 51-year-
old Gen. Clay as the leading symbol
of American democracy. During
these days of blockaded Berlin's
critical struggle between Russia and
the West, many a Berliner is cheered
as he passes Gen. Clay's OMGUs
(Office of Military Government for
Germany, United States) head
quarters to see that "the flag is
still there"
Few Germans or Americans
British or French-would approve
100 per cent Gen. Clay's policies or
performance in Germany and Ber-
lin.
Some Berliners-not fully realiz-
ing that he can 60 no further than
the State Department and Army
permitted he should have got
much tougher much sooner with the
Russians. These critics feel that II
American policy toward the Soviets
had been sterner from the start
the Russians might not now be
holding a hunger blockade on the
United States, British and French
sectors of the city.
Nevertheless, the 100000 Ger
mans of Western Berlin gratefully
credit Gen. Clay with instituting
the emergency air freight service
which is now bringing in food and
other supplies with a day-and-
night plane armada from Western
Germany.
Gen. Clay also is generally cred
tied even by British critics, with
having done the ablest and most
efficient administrative job of any
of the military governors OF the
