WILL AN UNUSUAL WINTER BE FOLLOWED
BY A MILD SUMNER?

Even the Weather Bureau will admit that
there has never been another winter quite
like this one. Never, as far as the records
90, have the states west of the Mississippi
had so much snow and bitter cold and high
winds over so long a consecutive period. And
all this time, through most of December
January and February, the states east of
the Mississippi have been unusually warm
and moist Both halves of the country now
are wondering what it all means for this
spring and summer. The dominant fear in
the West is that the piled-up snow will mean
devasting floods. In the upper Mississippi
basin snow on the ground last week aver
aged five inches, or 2O6 per cent of normal !;
in the Missouri basin, it stood at ten inches,
or 230 per cent of normal. But Weather
Bureau experts are not alarmed. Unless
there is an extended period of warm wealth
er with heavy rains, the MissOuri-MiSSiSSippi
basOn should be able to carry off most of the
draining water, although there undoubtedly
will be local floods caused by ice jams in
swollen rivers. What the West can be even
more sure of than floods says the weather
men, pointing to precedent, is sizzling sum-
meT, as extreme winters are usually followed
by extreme summers. Conversely, this means
that the Eastern states have a good chance
of enjoying a mild summer, with little fear
that the lack of normal SHOWS will mean
drought conditions. New England, the At
lantic states and the Biddle West depend on
rainfall (Which has been generally good)
rather than melting snow for their water
supply.
Here in Delaware the extremely mild
winter weather has been featured by ample
rains. This should allow farming crops tC
get good start before the hot suns of JULY
have an opportunity to sap their growth

a character here in Manoel and.

him before they are through.
Sabu's leading lady is Bib
Ferreira, Brazilian stage and ra-
dio star. Miss Ferreira is a sort
of Brazilian Carmen Miranda,
more authentic than baubly. She
is ideal for the role and plays
it both sweetly and simply. All
the others are authentic. for that
matter, whether they achieve it
by acting or by being themselves.
"The End of the River" boasts
a noteworthy musical score. too,
composed by Lambert Williamson
and played by the Philharmonic

leaning heavily on the samba and

authentic note and also makes it
a scenically handsome affair.
Christopher G. Challis has done
a superb job of photography
throughout THE End of the

cameras have been pastoral or
personal.
"The End of the River" tells the
story Of an upper Amazon Indian

leader of his tribe. Down river he
comes into the white mans world
and all its confusions. He meets
cruelty and he meets kindness. He
meets kindness that he mistakes
for oppression and cruel exploita-
ton that he mistakes for kind
ness.

when a recruiting officer for an
embryo Fascist movement recog-
nizes what he considers fair game,
Manoel, the Indian, leaves the
river boat master who is his friend
and takes his new wife to Belem
where there are untold riches.
Without knowing why again, Man
oel finds himself in a proud uni
form, with marching orders in his
hand, about to overthrow the gov
ernment. The plot is nipped and
Manoel is an outcast again.
This leads to murder in a stevo-

tell you, the happy ending.

McCloy To Be High Commissioner I'm West Germany

WASHINGTON, P)-S. J. Me Cloy, now president of the world bank, took on the job today of representing the United States in the delicate shift of Western Ger many from military to civilian control.
 The White House announced President Truman has selected McCloy to be the first United States high commissioner to Ger many. He will leave for Berlin "within the near future"
 Directors of the world bank ac- cepted McCloy's resignation and elevated MT. Black, now a direc- tor, to the president of the bank.
 McCloy, 54, gave up a remuner- ative law practice in New York to take over the presidency of the World Bank on Feb. 28, 1947.
 During the war, he had been as- sistant secretary of the war (army) department, where he picked up experience bearing on both the bank job and his new German post by handling lend-lease, military government and state department liaison for the army.
 The White House said that Me Cloy will serve as military gov- ernor of the United States occu- pied zone of Germany pending the shift to civilian government.

Harrington Asks Railway Labor Act For Territories

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, Delegate Harrington R.-HawaiD introduced yesterday bill to extend the rail- way labor act to cover water transportation between the U. s. mainland and the Territories and possessions.
 Harrington said the legislation was requested in resolution adopted by the Hawaiian Territo- rial legislature and approved by Gov. I. M. Stainback.
 The Territory, isolated for 95 days by a shipping strike last year, faces another tieup because of labor dispute involving dock workers in Hawaii.
 Harrington said the railway la bor act, originally passed in 1926, was amended in 1886 to cover air transportation.
 He told reporters he will press for early committee action on the proposed further extension to shipping.
 Under the railway labor act, the services of a federal mediation board are made available when normal collective bargaining fails. The law further provides that ar bitration be offered in the event mediation fails. If arbitration is refused, provision is made for an emergency finding board, se- lected by the President, and cooling-off period.

Student Blows Up Parents Home

SEATTLE. (R - A 20-year-old university of Washington sopho- more was arraigned before the U. s. commissioner last night on charges of blowing up his parents Vancouver, Wash, housing devel- opment home.
 Because the house was in a fed eral housing project-McLoughlin Heights - the technical charge against Lawrence Jean Sharp was destruction of government prop erty.
 MT. and Mrs. Lawrence l.. Sharp were injured in the blast, which occurred in the early morning of April 1. The explosion damaged 28 other houses in the area, the FBI reported.
 The father was critically in- jured, but is now reported to be recovering.
 J. B. Wilcox, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Seat tie, said the purchase of wire and explosives had been traced to young Sharp.
 Wilcox said the FBI had not at- tempted to learn the motive for the blasts.
 Sharp was remanded to the U. s. marshal and placed in King County jail under $5,000 bond.
