SOLVING SOAP SHORTAGE

Not only in regard to grain, but sugar, copra and cotton was he most farsighted. During the first months after the war, the world, desperately hard up for soap, re- ceived no cocoanuts from the Phil ippines. Plenty still grew there, but weren't being harvested So Anderson induced the Army and Navy to send small boats up the Philippine rivers and trucks to in- land plantations-until enough CO., pra was carried out to solve the worlds fat and soap shortage.
 The end of the war also found the U. s. Commodity Credit Cor poration with 7,5Oo,O0O bales of surplus cotton Not only was the taxpayer likely to be stuck for this cotton, but the surplus had a depressing effect on the market.
 So Anderson conceived the idea of selling 1t to Japan and Ger many for the manufacture of tex tiles Both countries needed a non-War industry, and textiles were the best answer. Anderson sold Japan and Germany the cot ton, the American cotton farmer benefited; Europe and Asia got badly needed clothing.

 T am an American Day" has been proclaimed throughout Alaska for May 16 by Acting Governor Lew M Williams who sent copies of his official pro- clamaton to all newspapers and radio stations
 It is day to be set aside not only in Alaska but al the United States as one on which to stress the worth and meaning of American citizenship and to render special recognition to those who have been naturalZed during the year
 It will also be a salute to the young men and who have reached maturity during the year and ready to perform the full responsibility of citizenship.
 T am an American Day" is time for recollecting the great stature of the country in which live and of the nation to which belong. In these times of international suspicion and dstrust it is indeed occasion of significance for by pausng brief moment on that day can not help but believe again in the nation the country and the Territory the ideals for which have made them stand and reflect that by being constant in the pursuit of these ideals no scourage of any ism be fostered upon us.

American lard and wheat increas- ed.
 The President of Cuba agreed. In 72 hours Anderson had closed a deal which other emissaries had not been able to sign in six weeks. That is one reason why the prices of sugar has remain ed so stable.
 Most people think that running the Department of Agriculture is matter of putting out booklets on soil conservation, boil weevil and how to preserve vegetables But it isn't. And in these days where crop shortages can cause Commun- ism, the LISA has been lucky to have as Secretary of Agriculture a farsighted statesman.

NO PICTuRE FARMER

Clint Anderson has been one of the most refreshing and variegat- ed personalities in the turbulent Truman administration once when asked by the March of Time to pose with 6 pitchfork, he said: I'm an insurance man. not a farmes' Actually he has a cattle ranch back in Albuquerque, has made a lot of money at insurance, voted against all insurance mea~ sures in the House of Represen- tatiyes
 Though wealthy, he has made some Of the mos effective speech es in Congress championing labor and blasting lush profits
 FDR was one of his idols, and the Anderson library on the late President is one Of the best in the country
 Coming to New Mexico from South Dakota because of lung trouble, Anderson first worked for the Albuquerque Journal where he uncovered the first tip on the Fall Teapot Dome scandal This was the fact that the then Secretary Of the Interior had received a s25,cC0 stallion rom Harry Sin clair That started the train of circumstances which finally upset the Teapot Dome lease, brought two resignauons from the Coolidge Cabinet and sent both Fall and Sinclair to jail.
 Later, Anderson went into insur- ance. became the biggest individual insurance man in his state. then was elected to the Fcuse of Rep IesentatiYes. Now Anderson is go- ing home to run for the upper branch of Congress-the U. s. Sen ate
 Though Andersen says he was a better Congressman than Cabinet member, actually he did an cut standing job as Secretary of Agri- culture.

WHAT IS RUSSIA UP TO?

Is the request of Russian Mootoy for conference with the United States to iron cut differences just another feeler or move to off something regard ing the present dvergeces discred't the United States?
 secretary of State Marshall does not believe there k arv possibility of direct two-nation settlement on general problems between the United States and Russia We have had a long and bitter experience with such efforts is Marshalls curt opinion.
 Marshall positively indicates the rift between the United States and Russia differences on the Marshall Plan peace for Germany and Austria, Rus sian domination in Eastern Europe the status of Korea and U S aid to Turkey and Greece
 Then can the United States and Russia accom- plish anything by Molotoys conference?
 Marshall believes that all issues should be taken LID with the United Nations Security Council and other LIN agencies. Other officials of the U s. Gov ernment also ponder whether any constructive steps can be taken to ease the cold war with Russia.
 Molotov is tricky. That conference idea has some thing back of it that does take conceivable spirit of a real attempt at settlement of the many differences between the U. s. and Russia.

SUGAR sALEsMANsHIP

One of Andersons greatest tri- umphs was his purchase of two Cuban sugar crops at the same time. Sugar then was scarce, and in order to keep prices down, he wanted to buy both the 1946 and l947 Cuban crops. But the Cubans said no, and Agriculture Depart ment emissaries got nowhere with them.
 Finally Anderson, himself. went to Cuba, called on President Grau San Martin
 This is a situation where Cuba can win the good will of the United States for long time" he told the Cuban President. Cuba faces the alternative of having sugar prices shoot way up, then come down with a crash-or of keeping them steady. A boom and bust such as after the last war isn't going to do you any good. But if you cooperate with us now, we'll remember it."
 President Grau said he agreed, but that Cuban workers were afraid the prices ,cf U. s. wheat, lard, etc. would go up, so they would find themselves paying more while sugar sold for the same low price. So Anderson proposed an escalator clause by which the price of sug- ar would increase if the cost of

Joint State Regulation
OF Atlantic Coastal
Fishing Areas Urged
By the Associotsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Joint state
regulations of specific fishing
grounds in the Atlantic Coast area
was recommended yesterday by
members of the Atlantic States
Marine Fisheries Commission.
The commission, an independent
organization of marine scientists
who promote conservation work and
scientific study in the fishing
grounds off the Atlantic Coast,
asked for legislation to designate
them as supervisors Of this work.
t The commission suggested that
the affected states-Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, New
I Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida-should ratify
such legislation so that fishing
operations of vessels in contingent
waters would be regulated by a
single authority.
The committee gave specific ex-
amples of certain fishing grounds in
adjacent states where joint regula-
ton was recommended. These in
cluded:
/. The oyster fisheries in the COM
mon waters of the Potomac River
affecting Maryland and Virginia.
The two States have a joint COM
mission to work out their differen-
ces but have not yet agreed on
what should be done. The trouble
arises over dredging for oysters,
which is legal in Virginia but not in
Maryland.
2. The blue crab fishery in Ches-
apeake Bay, also affecting Maryland
and Virginia.
8. The shad fishery in the Hudson
River, affecting New York and New
Jersey.

Bethesda Chevy Chase Highs
basket ball team is the first team
definitely assured Of a place in The
Evening Stars 10Th annual metro
politan interscholastic tournament.
The Barons will be hosts tomorrow
to another team that stands good
chance of earning tourney berth
in Roosevelt, currently tied with
Central for first place in the Dis
trict public high series from which
two tourney teams will be selected.
Bethesda's Barons are no stran-
gers to the metro tourney, having
played in majority of the tourna-
ments since their start in 1888.
Oddly enough, they've never won,
although they've been runnersup on
four occasions. Coach Al Vogt has
an experienced and well-balanced
club this season and has high hopes
of getting past that final game
when the tournament Is held early
next month at Ritchie Coliseum,
University Of Maryland.
The Barons clinched their Star
tournament berth last Friday by
winning the Montgomery County
title with victory over their ira
ditional rival, Montgomery Blair,
their second this season. If they can
get past Roosevelt tomorrow they
stand an excellent chance of Win
ming all remaining games. Bethesda
beat Roosevelt by a 35-29 score to
open the season. but the Rough
Riders since have improved con-
siderably as their current standing
in the interhigh series indicates!
Another team virtually certain
of a place in The Star tournament
is st. Johns. The Johnnies have lost
only one game this year, and yester-
day added to their string by nosing
out Towson High, 1897, IN the
second game of double-hea at
the Armory. That opened with Con
zaga tripping strong Calvert Hall
of Baltimore, 51-36. For the john
nies it was the 18th win in 16 games.
and for the Eagles it was win NO.
II in IS starts.
The Johnnies had battle all the
way, and the issue wasn't decided
until Jack George, their scoring ace,

after an argument with Stewart
over being absent from the squad
without permission while on trip.
At the time it was said Keene quit
because he wanted to concentrate on
baseball and his studies.
Keene, who Is counted on as one
of the Terps' leading pitching pros
poets, now is playing basket ball in
a sandlot league in Silver Spring
with John Shumate, a Maryland
basket ball regular of last year who
still is attending school but did not
play this season although he has a
year of eligibility remaining.
John Hunton, a member of New
England service championship team
of 1916, quit the squad about the
same time as Keene.
Turyn Leaves Court Squad.
The latest resignation from the
court squad was Vic Turyn. the star
quarterback of the Maryland eleven,
but Vic found the sport just too
much to carry after long football
season that left him almost 20
pounds underweight and the fact
that he is majoring in accounting.
Turyn did not report for basket
ball until after the Gator Bowl
game and played only few games.
Maryland now has won eight and
lost eight and on Saturday drubbed
Washington and Lee by "a points
Just "a hours after the Generals
upset the Colonials.
The Maryland designations climax
a hectic season with an unprece-
dented number of designations and
dismissals from local college court
squads. Andy Kostecka was asked
to turn in his uniform at George
town for INSTRUMENTATION, while at
American University three regulars,
Bart Fugler, Don Hillock and Reg
gle Crocket, resigned at different
times. OF the players involved at
the three schools, only Vanish and

Dodds Greatest Pupil
Says Ryder, Coach
Of Many Champs
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

. BOSTON, Feb. 9.-After back
tracking over his 40-odd years of
coaching, the veteran Jack Ryder
today rated Gil Dodds, the Boston
A. AS famed Flying Parson, as the
greatest of his pupils who have won
total of SO national track cham
pionships since 1907.
Dodds rocked the sports world a
week ago Saturday when he low
cred his own indoor mile record
from 4:064 to 4:05.3, but his mentor
says he can wreck several other
marks.
Gil Is in such wonderful shape
this season that I'm certain he can
set new records at every distance
from 1000 yards to three miles if
given an opportunity" Ryder boasts.
While gaining his 21st consecutive
indoor mile victory here Saturday
night, Dodds, without the slightest
competition, turned in a 4:08.1 stint,
the fastest that distance has been
run indoors in Boston.
Gil, who intends to prime himself
for an Olympic team berth after the
indoor season, actually has won 33
races in a row, indoors and out. His
last defeat on boards was in March,
1943, when Frank Dixon beat him
with a 4:096 effort.
And it took Sweden's Gunder
Haegg, one of the worlds greatest
milers, to subject Dodds to his last
outdoor setback, four summers ago.
On that August day, Dodds ran
4:O7.2 to Haegg's 4:o6.9.
Ryder gained his first large
measure of national fame back in
1928 when his expert handling of
Lloyd Hahn enabled both to win
places on the United States Olympic
team, the former as coach of the
5000 and 10000 meter athletes.
Among the first of the Ryder
Olympicans was Howard Drew, one
of the first of the great Negro
sprinters. Back around 1910, Ryder
gave Drew his first polishings, long
before he enrolled at the University
of Southern California,
