 AT TEEN-AGf CLUB

Square dancing will feature tomor- row nights community Cente er Program for adults at the Teen Age Club.
 "so many people throughout the community" said Zach Gordon, club director, today, have expressed an interest in square dancing, so we expect hig turnout Tuesday night when this feature is resumed at the Club. For some weeks now the clubhouse has been in the process of being redecorated. Even at the present time the work is not quite finished; but it's near enough com- pleted to permit us to go ahead with the square dancing.
 Each week on Tuesday night the teen agers turn over their club house to the older people for their enjoyment. The bills for lights ana heat are paid for by the boys and girls. In other words, it is their weekly treat to their older friends. The teen agers have always been very grateful for all that the adults have done for them,-this is one way of expressing that apprecia- tion."
 All persons 18 years of age or old CT are cordially invited every Tues day. A special invitation is extend- ed to all servicemen, irrespective of age. The clubhouse will be open at 5 o'clock for playing pool and ping pong and dancing to the juke box. The square dancing will start at is:3o.

 NEW FLYCRASERS

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Rl-- A number of experienced outfielders will te gunning for major league terths this year but most of the attention during spring training will center on rookie flychasers Johnny Groth and Hank Bauer.
 The one voted most likely to sue ceed is Groth h, the 22-year-old Freshman of the Detroit Tigers who burned up the International League last year. Playing with Buff falo, Groth paced the circuit in hits, doubles, triples, total bases He fin shed with $40 batting average and drove in 97 runs and hit 30 homers.
 Hank Greenberg, one of the games greatest sluggers, thinks that Groth will develop into the number one outfielder in the American League in two or three years.
 Bauer made fine impression af- ter joining the New York Yankees from Kansas City in September last year Bauer hit .305 for Kansas City and drove in 100 runs in l32 games. Scouts who have watched the liz hcy say he can't miss.

I'VE FIND A TARIFF WALL"
 (Hugo s. Sims)

"The British do hope for understanding and sympathy from the American people" declares Sir Norman Kip ping, director of the Federation of British 1n dustrieS, who assures American manufacturers that there is to be frightened by the increase in British exports to erase the dollar deficit.
 The British ndustriaist said that Americas future market depends her willingness to be buyer" He pointed out that last year British sales in the United States amounted to about $2 person and that sales of $6 to $8 would wipe out the dollar deficit without harm ing American producers.
 Admitting that tariffs in the United States had been lowered in the past ten years Sir Norman points out that they the highest in the word before the and could be considerably reduced without having material effect British sales to the United States He said that there might be further cuts of dollar imports unless additional sales be made in the United States and that it will be desperately disappointing if every time succeed in overcoming problem, we find tar if wall raised against us
 The British ndustrialis raises interesting ques- tion and states the problem correctly. If the United States nation, expects to sell manufactured goods and agricultural surpluses abroad it must be willing to accept some goods and services from other nations. Otherwise prospective buyers will have dollars with which to finance their purchases in this country.

It should not be necessary send to Washington for passport and the fee should be nominal One of the first wartime excise taxes to be removed should be that travel In addi ton something further could be done to streamne the customs service.
 Anything that will encourage the dollar to rove in ways that add Marshall Plan aid and at the time collect very pleasant payment ks like good proposi- tiOn.

 With respect to social insur- ance benefits, we will negotiate with the union for the purpose of reaching mutually acceptable agreement"
 The Wall Street Journal at the same time said only "a slight in- crease" in labor costs will result if the recommended social insurance program is put into effect.

DOllar-ShOrt
 Countries Told To Devalue Currency
tBY Sterling F. Green and John M. Highfower)

WASHINGTON, (P)-The'int national monetary fund yesterday advised dollar-short countries to devalue their currencies, if need be, to boost their dollar earnings exports.
 Without singling out the British pound but with Britain's dollar crisis obviously in mind, the re- port was laid before the opening session yesterday of the fourth an nual meeting of the board of gov ernors of the multi-billion dollar fund and World Bank.
 Shortly thereafter, the financial leaders of the 48 member nations were to hear an off f-the-cuff ad- dress by President Truman.
 It may be better for a country to change an unsuitable" ex- change rate than to clamp on re- Strictions which "endanger it's well-being and efficiency" said the report of the funds executive directors.
 Although the document referred to all deficit nations," its effect was to spotlight the British prob lem-and to add pressure to nu- merous past suggestions for ster- ling devaluation.
 The impact was the greater be- cause cabinet level British-U. s. Canadian conference ended Mon day with agreement on ten-point treatment for Britain's dollar ills | without including revaluation of the pound as one of the points.

New Mining Law Proposed

A bill has been introduced into Congress by Senator O'Mahoney of the Committee on Interior. and Insular Affairs ''to stimulate ex- ploration for, and conservation of strategic and critical ores. metals, and minerals, and for other pur- poses"
 According to the report the gen. eral objective of the proposed legislation is to develop and main tain through private enterprise mineral reserves in the United States vital to the nations security and industrial needs. OverWhelm- ing evidence was presented to the committee that known reserves of ores, minerals, and metals within the country have been critically depleted, and inadequate explora- ton and development have been undertaken during the past IT years and that the domestic min ing industry is in grave danger of disintegration.
 The report of the committee on the bill further states that most of the principal mines now produc- ing were developed from small mines and evidence presented showed that current economic trends have driven many small mines out of existence and danger of monopoly threatens to drive out more. The committee has written into the bill special section for mines with an average monthly production of less than 100 tons of such minerals as copper, lead and zinc, whereby the government pays one half of the approved req sonable costs of tunnels, shafts, winches and such needed in the exploration. Such minerals as manganese, tungsten, antimony and mercury are included.
 Each exploration applicant will be using his own money as well as the aid he obtains under the legis- lation. Substantial contributions
