The principals of the Virginia
High Schools, who comprise the
Executive Committee of the Vir-
ginia High School League, voted
11-9 against sending Washington
Lee to the Southeast Regional
Baseball tournament next month
at Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The result of the balloting was

silver and we wondered why. until
we spied a porpoise rolling over
the bar. Undoubtedly he had
broken up the school. We took
four of five scattered fish. but
decided against wasting time on
them and came on in.
Our skipper said that from all
indications the big trout should
be in the inlet In two to three
weeks. He said the season is
somewhat early this year. He
promised to inform us when the
fish struck in.
Although up to last week end
croaker fishing, as well as angling
for rockfish, practically had been
wiped out in the bay by stormy
weather, numerous boats were out
Sunday. We doubt II they caught
many fish. as the reports We have
had since our return yesterday
afternoon are anything but en-
couraging. Very few boats were
out Tuesday afternoon, due to
strong southerly winds which
kicked up q rumpus. Best bet
these days is cumming with
grass shrimp. If your boat captain
knows the proper spots and you
can stand the gaff on the price
of the chum, you probably will
catch some fish.
According to figures from the
United States Fish and Wildlife
more than IS million fish

fingerlings less than 6 inches in

Wilson and Anacostia
Favorites in Meet

the favorites in the 53rd annual
District high school track meet
scheduled to open at $3.50 pm
today with trials at Tech High
School. Finals are set for Fri.
day at the same time and place.
Anacostia nosed out Wilson in
the Wilson Metro meet last week
but that result might have been
reversed. Wilson supporters point
out, If:
/. Falls Church hadn't been
entered. The Virginia school, the
only entry outside OF the eight
schools competing for interhigh
honors, took down only one award
second place in the broad jump
Wilson's Dave Andrews was third.
2. Dave Duvall had earned a
place in the shot put. He should
have, as he had been heaving the
ball more than 40 feet all year.
8. Richard Douse had lived up
to expectations in the 100-yard
dash. One of the favorites, he
finished out of the running. With
par performance he may have
kept Anacostia's Bill King from
taking second place.
4. Paul Sheats had earned a
place in the 220-yard dash. He
was expected to pick up a few
points for Wilson in that event
but didn't even qualify.
5. Wilson's Chris King hadn't
tripped over the last hurdle in
the 220. King was neck-and-neck
with Clarence Rakow of Central
when he stumbled. He still took
second.
The "if" contingent gets its big
chance today and Friday. While
Anacostia and Wilson dominated
the. Wilson meet. Coolidge would
have been up there. too, "if" the
Colts had been up to par. That
makes Coolidge the dark horse in
the interhigh meet. Other schools
entered are Central, Eastern,
Tech, Roosevelt and Western.

the lists.

cheerful prospect, any way you
take it. It might be more fun
to go jumping with Jumping Joe
Ferguson. But we'll consider Ohio,
since 1t is full of variables.
one OF the constant variables in
Ohio is the farm vote. In earlier
years it depended on the weather.
a variable in itself. If the weather
was nice and the roads dry, the
farmer would hitch up the buck
board and take himself to the
polls to vote for whatever Nc
kinley the Republicans were run
ming that year. II it was raining,
however, and the roads were soft,
he'd just stay home and grouse
ABOUT the price Of crops, allowing
the city slickers to have things
their own way.
That's how 1t used to be and
some experts now say the Repub-
licans are praying for good wealth
er next Tuesday. These experts
haven't kept up with the times.
They don't realize that the Ohio
farmer no longer rides in a buck
board, but in weather-proof sedan,
equipped with a heater and radio.
They don't realize that the Gov
ernment. while taking the country
down Herbert Hoover's last long
mile to socialism. has also been
building farm-to-market roads
and that these roads can take the
farmer to the polls without even
getting his tires muddy. Likewise
they overlook the farmers wife,
who also votes and who won't miss
any chance to go to town.
So the farmer, rain or shine,
will step on the starter Tuesday,
purr along to town and leave his
wife to see what's new in the
stores while he gets in a game of

as a matter of fact. Which should

This Changing World i"
Hopes for End of Korea War This Month
Fade as u. S. Forces Take Beating

held a dagger behind the olive
branch they extended to the In
dians was discarded. The Chi
nese Communist aggression in
Tibet shook somewhat the COM
placency and faith in Communist
honesty" which had been shown
so clearly for the last IL months
by the Indian government. The
curt manner in which the notes
from New Delhi were rejected by
Foreign Minister Chou En-lai
worried the Indians.
The Tibet invasion was followed
quickly by the entry of the Chi
nese Communist armies into the
Korean War.
Reports from Tokyo that we
could see the end of our major
military efforts in Korea were
overlaid with optimism. The con-
sensus of most observers was that
since the Chinese Communist
armies had not attempted to save
the Korean satellites of Moscow
when we sent them reeling across
the 38th Parallel, there was no
danger that they would intervene
at the eleventh hour.
When the first units of the Red
Chinese forces struck against the
South Koreans 10 days ago there
was a definite effort to minimize
the affair. The troops In the field
had captured Chinese prisoners.
They knew that they were up
against different force from that
OF the demoralized North Koreans.
But no official confirmation was
available.
Plan Is Obvious.
1t was said unofficially that the
presence Of some" Chinese Red
elements in that area could be
explained by the fact that Peiping
wanted to save the hydroelectric
plants in North Korea which
supply Manchuria with most of
its power.
Now, however. that 1t has been
definitely-though not yet Off
cially-shown that Chinese and
Mongolian troops are in the line,
the Red high commands plan is
obvious. 1t had decided to wait
until winter approached before
engaging its arms against U. N.
forces.
Manchurian and Mongolian
troops can fight in cold climates
far better than can the Americans
and British. When the u. N.
troops neared the Manchurian
border: fully confident that their
mission was near accomplishment,
the Reds poured their troops
across the Yalu River.
For the time being we appear
to be deadlocked. 1t Is possible
that we may be able to break it
with a major effort, provided we
have ample reserves. But we must
bear in mind that our weary
troops. some of whom have been
f1ghting since last June, are I'D
against fresh and fanatical forces.
Now 1t is $3.50 possibility that
we will have to entrench ourselves
along some line in North Korea
and tight a winter campaign
under difficult conditions.
