Wallace Writes Mao
Urging Friendship
BY the Associoied Press

SOUTH SALEM, N. Y, Sept. 80
In a letter attacking the Soviet
Union, Henry A. Wallace yester-
day urged Chinese Communist
Premier Mao Tze-tung to remem-
Der his country's traditional
friendship with the United States
Unless the new China is in
terested in joining with the U. S
S. r. in an insane drive toward
world conquest. it is high time
that she consider the funda-
mentals of an understanding with
the United States as a necessary
preliminary to settling the Korean
problem. the Formosan problem
and entry into the United Ma
tions," Mr.. Wallace wrote.
The open letter-sent airmail
to Mao in Peiping-was picked up
by the State Departments Voice
of America and broadcast to all
parts of the world.
1t marked a further move in
Mr.. Wallace's political position.
At the outbreak of the Korean
war he condemned the Soviets as
the aggressor, and shortly after
ward broke with his own Pro-
gressive Party when it opposed
American intervention there.
"You are going to continue to
be Communist" he wrote Mao,
but that doesn't mean that your
papers must continually preach
hatred for the United States, and
it doesn't mean that you must
slavishly obey orders from Mos
COW.
Il can understand how Russia,
under her present leadership,
might want to get China into a
war with the United States. But
I am sure that no responsible
leader in China wants to see any
thing of that sort happen"
Mr.. Wallace, a plant breeder
in private life and Secretary of
Agriculture before he was Vice
President. said he wrote to Mao
"as one farmer to another"

Game

27-7 upset last week by Georgia,
the Terrapins were slightly ia
vored by most experts.
Parade Is Called Off.
The brigade of Midshipmen. ap-
proximately 3.700-strong, set out
from Annapolis this morning
forming a motorcade of 80 buses,
but the customary pre-game pa
rade will be missing. The brigade
was scheduled to parade into
Byrd Stadium, named for DIR,
Harry C. Byrd, president of the
University of Maryland, but the
new, rain-soaked sod on the field
was deemed too soft.
A victory for Maryland would
reduce much of the sting of last
weeks defeat in Georgia, when the
favored Terps bowed after whiting
in the 84-degree temperature dur
ing the second half.
Navy will be playing not only
its first game of the season, but
its first under Coach Eddie Erde-
latz, 36-year-old Californian, who
served as end coach at Annapolis
several years ago and was line
coach Of the San Francisco Forty
Miners of the All-America Con-
ference in 1948 and 1949.
Navy Appears Stronger.
Navy won only three games last
year and total of only five games
in the last four seasons, but it is
believed the Midshipmen will be
stronger. The last two plebe teams
at Annapolis were very strong and
most of these players are varsity
members this year.
Coach Jim Tatum of Maryland
is fearful of Navy's passing attack,
which will be centered around
Quarterback Bob Zastrow, who
won All-America honorable men
ton last year. his first as a varsity
performer. Navy generally is con-
ceded an edge at the vital quar-
terback position because of Zas-
trow, although in his debut last
week Sophomore John Scarbath
Of the Terps shone brightly.
Maryland's big line, featuring
End Elmer Wingate, Guard Bob
Ward and Tackle Ray Krouse, is
rated stronger than Navy's.
First Game Played in 1905.
The two teams first met in 1905,
when Navy won a ITO victory.
The Midshipmen won 1872 in 1906,
1910 in 1907 and $40 in 1908,
when football relations tempo
rarily were severed.
Resuming in 1918, Navy romped
over Maryland. 76-0. Three years
later the Terrapins succeeded in
holding the score to 14-7. but in
1917 the Tars rolled up a score of
go.
Again Maryland was dropped
from the schedule, but when the
Old Liners were played again in
1880 they began to give the Mid
shipmen real contests. They lost
by only 60 in 1880 and finally
triumphed by the same score in
1881. The following year Navy
won. 28-7, and in 1884 (there was
no game in 1889 the 1913 thriller
closed out the rivalry until today.
