Pee-Wees Battle
For Keeps In Two
inaugural Comes

Several hundred doubling par
ents got the pleasant shock OF
their lives Monday night when
they let their children drag them
out to see the inaugural games in
Pascagoula's Pee-Wee football
league.
Not only did the four element
airy schools play football but they
played good football. AS one par
ent remarked, "Those kids play
for keeps
The first game, between Cen
trail and South was won by Cen
trail, 10, on a last quarter touch
down by Vernon Ehler. Lake
took the measure of Beach. 1910,
on touchdowns by Sherry Clark
and End Miguel Flechas.
Uniforms of the teams are far
moro colorful than those of their
high school big brothers. Central
sported black and gold, South
wore a swank sort of burgundy.
Beach was in blue and white and
Lake in green and white.
Central, South and Lake field
ed teams of pretty tall boys who
seemed to know what they were
doing. Beach, able to get in only
a couple of practices under direc-
ton, was a bit confused.
Star of the night, nevertheless,
was Ray Crane, Beach backfield
shrimp, who ran around the big
Lake boys for a total of about go
yards in the last half of their
game.
Roy couldn't score, but it wasn't
his fault.
The league will play two games
each Monday night starting at
o'clock at the high school prac-
tiee field. Pairing Monday will be
Centralized and Lake South.

render of the Indians, will leave
the field to a victory march.
All the maneuvers will be en-
acted to the rhythm of appropri-
ate musical scores, James r.
Bishop, band director said Thurs
day. Mr.. Bishop expressed pride
in his IS piece band and pointed
out that members of the band
have only a week between games
to perfect routines of their shows
and the music.

rior in marching at the state band
contest last year, is led by Polly

Services Co-ordinated
In Icecap Rescue,
ForrestaI Asserts
By. John A. Giles

There was complete co-ordina-
ton" between the Air Force and
Navy in the rescue of stranded
airmen on a Greenland icecap last
! December and it is unfortunate
that the newspapers created the
illusion of a race between the
services" Defense Secretary For
restal said last night.
: In a letter to Senator Ferguson,
Republican, of Michigan, Mr..
Forrestal said the reported lack
of coordination was not the
case"
Seven airmen were forced down
on the 7,5O0-foot icecap December
9 when their transport plane
landed. Repeated attempts
to rescue them over the following
19 days only added to the icecap'S
population as two gliderS and an
other plane were stranded. Finally
IL men were left on the icecap.
When continued attempts to
get the men off failed the Navy
rushed the aircraft carrier Sapian
with Marine Corps helicopters
aboard from Norfolk, Va. to join
the operation. Before the Saipan
arrived. however. the Air Force
managed to pick up the men in
ski-eouipped CAT transport. The
men had been supplied with food.
clothing and shelter dropped from
planes.
Some critics said the operation
was another evidence of lack of
unifcation. But Mr.. Forrestal ex-
planned:
The Navy possessed the only
helicopters which were considered
capable of operation at the alti-
tude of the location of the crash.
The services of an aircraft carrier
were available which could serve
to transport the helicopters and
provide base from which to op-
rate. When it appeared that hell
copterS would be required for the
rescue, the, Navy offered their
services and these services were
accepted. All branches of the
armed services normally Coop
crate in case of any emer-
gency
Senator Ferguson had requested
the cost of the rescue.
Cites "Valuable Training"
Figuring that the loss of the
two gliders and the two planes
totalled s74.O00 and announcing
that the Air Force planned to
strip the craft of all equipment
when the weather cleared, Mr..
Forrestal replied that the met
cost appears very small in return
for the lives saved
Less expense resulted from the
actual flying operations than
would have normally been in
Cured in routine training and
operational flights" he said. 80
Little additional expense to the
Navy was incurred by tbs CO.

ule of the Saipan was changed N

the fiscal year will not be increased

Due to so many constant fac
tors. salaries paid to personnel, the
depreciation and obsolescence

ment and the necessity for per-
sonnel maintaining operational
proficiency, the net cost Of the

turn for the lives saved" he con-
cluded. However, we are fully
aware of the overall expense OF
maintaining an adequate military

pI0NEER5' HOME
 BILL GETS ROUGH
 HOUSE HANDLING

A House bill for a Pioneer wonl- ems home or homes ran into as much trouble in the House this morning as a sidetracked sister measure had encountered previously in the Senate.
 After almost an hours argument this morning, the mangled bill ap- peareo headed back for redrafting in committee The move to re-refer was interrupted by the noon recess.
 The measure was introduced by the three feminine house members Essie Dale, Amelia Gundersen and Doris Barnes.
 About the only specific action the House took on the bill was to elimi- nate the proposal for home at Fairbanks as well as at Sitka oi Wrangell.
 Mrs. Dale moved to eliminate the Fairbanks proposal because she had found no need there. She said old folks told her they would rather go to Sitka, where the Pioneer mems home is located
 With the elimination of the Fair banks project, the women sponsors also offered an amendment to cut the appropriation from $2O0,0Oo tc $1OO,OO0. The $200,oO0 item already had been cleared ty the House Ways and Means committee.
 Two motions were before the House at recess time. Jack Conrigh. moved to send the bill back to con- mittee for redrafting. Warren Tay- Tor had moved to strike the whole section providing for the Pioneer Women's building at Sitka or Wran- gell. He said it should be left to the decision of the commission which would be established under the bill.
 A similar bill for Pioneer Wom- ems Home building or annex at Sitka has been postponed until the end of the month in the Senate, af- ter having reached the floor there twice. Senator Anita Garnick is its author.

 They told House Fisheries Sub- committee that current tariff bar riers offer little or no protection ard that the domestic industry is unable to meet foreign competition
 The committee has been studying fishing industry problems with a view to drafting remedial legisla- tion.
 Witnesses from New England pro- posed that an annual import quota of 43,O0O,000 pounds be imposed saying that import duties would have to be raised to fantastic heights before they could afford ef- fective protection.
 Joseph A. White, business agent Of the Gloucester, Mass, Seafooc Workers Union (AFL) said that even a 100 per cent boost of tarifi rates would not solve the problem
 West Coast spokesman said the, are threatened by imports of can- ned and freshs tuna from Soutt America and Japan.

TRUMAN NOT
 WORRIED BY
 DOWN TREND
Current Price Drops Only Healthy LeveIing-0H
 Says President
By FRANCIS M. LIE MAY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.--tR- President Truman's confident fore- cast of continued prosperity brought this reaction today from his Capi- tol Hill critics The best way to help the nations business is to leave it alone
 The President also renewed his re- quest yesterday for s4,000, 900 900 tax boost-a proposal which appear ed to be picking up support from Democrats, but only if necessary to keep the treasury out of the red. There is lot of opposition, how ever.
 MT. Truman told his Thursday news conference current price drops are only the leveling-off that every body has been hoping for, and he spoke confidently of the business outlook. He. said the business situa- tion is nothing to te alarmed about.
 Some critics agreed that the lev cling off is healthy. But they said the Presidents economic controi program, if approved by Congress. might turn a healthy recession into a depression.
 OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
 While MT. Truman took the eco- homie temperature, there were these other developments: 1. Buying interest in the New York Stock Market sharpened yes- terday and the market moved ahead for the best overall advance in si weeks.
 2. At Cleveland, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad announced tenn porary layoffs for more than 4,00O employees in four areas. A spokes- man bla m e d declining passenger business and slower movement of coal due to a mild winter.
 FIVE DAY FURLOUGH 8. The Baltimore & Ohio Rail- road. ordered five-day furlough late this month of 2,521 of its shop em- ployees.
 4. A majority of the 17-private- in d try economists attending 8 Capitol Hill conference spoke out against the Administrations re- quest for higher taxes and wage price allocation controls. The House yesterday voted to let the President keep part of the power he now has. A bill extending export controls for 28 months was passed and sent to the Senate, which has approved a similar measure with slight differences
 MT. Truman told his news con- ! ference, in answer to a question that he has no plan now to modify installment buying controls. sRep Patman (D-Tex) has argued the controls are hurting business.
