Meanwhile. although the en-

neither the Albanian nor the Bull

former democratic army fighters
still on Greek soil, between 500
and 900 are operating in Thrace
from Bulgar-backed bases. Sabo-
tage and mine-laying on the roads
in the area of Komotini continue,
although on a reduced scale from
year ago. The rest of the Greek
rebels who have not given them
selves up have been scattered into
small groups whose sole desire
seems to be to get through Greek
army patrols to the safety of
Albania.
In order to guard against the
re-establishment of a new rebel
base on the Albanian border in
the Grammos range, Greek troops
have been making the best of the
mild winter to build a long g-needed
lateral road so that the frontier
can be fully garrisoned through

Italian Towns Feuding
Over Title to Cannon
BY the Associated Press

MILAN, Italy.-A cannon, four
or five wars old, threatened to
start a war between San Cesario
and Spilamberto, two little towns
south of the Po River. The can
non was borrowed 20 years ago by
Spilamberto from Cesario for a
fiesta and never returned.
Recently the San Cesarians
planned celebration and obtained
a temporary" restitution of the
cannon. After the fiesta, the San
Cesarians refused to give it back.
Spilambertains decided to take
the cannon during the night. San
Cesario hid the cannon whereupon
the Spilambertains threatened to
steal the town church bells in
reparation. So a detachment of
San Cesariani mounts guard every
night around the towns belfry.
Latest communicates indicate:

 One of the greatest scientists of plants was Luther Burbank. He was born on March 2, 1849 and died in 1926. He learned to enjoy plants in Massachusetts where he spent his earlier years. He became a nursery man specializing in crossing, selection, and grating. In 1875, he moved to California and carried on extensive expert ments there. He found a potato seed pod and from it raised 23 different plants. Finally he pro- duced the big,hardy Burbank po- tato. In his garden at Santa Rosa, California he developed many va rieties of plants, among them being the Shasta daisy, plumcot, and the Spineless cactus. He won interna- tional fame for his work.

Certainly, Truman did not like

for resenting it to a degree. Then
when Byrnes announced his can

Byrnes-the man he worked for
at the 1914 Democratic conven-

could do as he pleased.

What the American people
would like to know is why the
sudden attack on Byrnes' ac-
eomplishments. There has been
much talk that he will be a
spokesman for Democrats who
are arrayed against the Presi-
dent, but there is little evidence
of any such plot Surely he is
too old to consider a presidential
nomination, even if he could get
IL, which he could not. President
Truman will probably offer his
services. and if not, Byrnes
would face the same foes he
faced in 1914 organized labor
and the Roman Catholic church.
to some extent. Certainly he
cannot get a Democratic NOM
ination with the hostility of the
one and the GOODNESS of strong
forces in the other.
So President Truman must
have known Byrnes was finish
ed as a political rival. His only
fear was that Byrnes might
rally allies round him, in op-
position to the administration.
If so, did the President delibers
ately set out to discredit his
former Secretary of State? And
was the President involved in
the campaign to deliberately
smear General Eisenhower a
year or two ago?
One wonders about these
charges, but some are frank to
make them Even liberal.

fellow citizens. We're gathered
here today to witness an his
toric event in the political
growth of our beloved Virgin
Islands-the formal presenta-
ton of our first native COVER
nor to the people Of Frederik-
sted town. This significant
step forward is indeed valid
evidence Of our progress to-

turity, like physical, mental or
spiritual maturity, is aslong
hard uphill battle. It is. def
nitely not a miraculous over
night achievement.
An Individual as well as any
society during the process of
growth, must encounter many
uncomfortable falls and re-
peated set-backs. But through
out the struggle, with.the ul-
innate goal set before us like
a brilliant star in the darkness
ct night, our courage and stead
fastness of purpose must con-
stantly be renewed; conse-
ouently, regardless Of our
seeming stagnancy, or the
sIsan Of time involved; pro-
gress is indeed certain.
The appointment Of the Hon.
Morris F. de Castro as Cover
nor Of the Virgin Islands by.
the President of the United
States, and the subsequent
unanimous approval Of the
United States Senate came as
no great surprise to many Of
Us. The impressive record of
public service in the Govern
ment Of the Virgin Islands, for
q period Of over 80 years, es-
tablished by Mr.. de Castro, is.
one Of which the Department
of the Interior and the people
Of the Virgin Islands are just
" proud. Our first native gov
