HAMMERS WIN OVER
 BEAVERS
fBv the Associated pressl


 Seattle made the Pacific Coast League seasons first stop at Port. land yesterday and emerged with . AZ victory that left them only g bare percentage point out Of sixth place.
 Frank Colman's first inning three run homer was all the Rainiers needed.
 Hector Brown. Seattle's starting hurler, got credit for the win al- though he gave way to southpaw Al Gerheauser in the eighth when the Beavers threatened to knot the count.
 Hollywood's Art Schallock tossed a five-hitter at the San Francisco Seals, beating them 2-1 for his first victory this season insthe first meet ing of the clubs this year. Oakland's treatment of Los An geles was not only worse, it lacked my semblance of cordiality; namely 18-2. The Oaks batted around in the first inning for three runs but that was just warmup. Tn the eighth they really poured it on, 15 men going to bat and producing 10 runs
 Oaklands third baseman, Billy Herman, had two homers, two singles and two walks for a perfect night at bat.
 Meantime, Sacramento journeyed to San Diego and lost, 6-5. It was a see-saw struggle in which Max West scored the eventual winning run in the sixth on his walk, single and an infield out.
 The series openers left the lead ing Hollywood Stars five games ahead of Oakland.

(By the Associated Press,


 Joe DiMaggio owns 2.0O0 big league hits today and Stan Musial has 1,500
 Each slugger attained his imme- diate goal last night but DiMag's was by far the more satisfying. Joe collected two hits to drive in three runs and lead the New York Yankees to an important 8-2 triumph over the Cleveland In- dians. The victory. coupled with Washington's Az victory over De- troit boosted the runnerup Yankees to within one game of the Ameri- can League leading Tigers. Stan slammed one hit--a home run-but it didn't prevent the New York Giants from gaining their first victory of the season over his St. Louis Cardinals. 3-2. The defeat knocked the Cards out of a first place tie with Brooklyn. The Dodgers Shrashed the Cincinnati Reds, 8-2, to take game lead over the Red- birds.
 Boston's Red Sox and Philadel- phia's Phillies, third in their re- spective leagues. gained some ground. The Red Sox triumphed over the Chicago White Sox, 5-3. while the Phils toppled the Pitts burgh Pirates, 7-3. The St. Louis Browns, behind Ned Carver. shut out Lou Brissie and the Philadelphia Athletics. To. The Chicago Cubs won a 10-inning struggle from Bostons Braves. 4-3.
 DiMaggio now joins 41-year-old Luke Appling of the White Sox and i0-year- old Wally Moses of the Ath- cities as the only active performers with 2,000 or more hits. DiMaggio. 35, is in the midst of his 18th active year.
 Eighty-five other major leaguers have reached the two-grand marx in the past.

Asked To Improve
Their Mail Boxes

Rural mail box improvement
week, a move designed to help
the fellow who delivers the mail
to the country through all types
of weather, will be observed in
Noble county for the week of
May 7.
According to Postmaster w. E.
Cecil, some of the boys driving
the country roads occasionally
find the going rough when they
come to mail boxes here and
there which are either inacces-
sible or in such dilapidated con-
dition as to make their use prac-
tically impossible.
The postoffice bulletin, desig-
mating this improvement week,
also requests that patrons have
their names plainly painted on
the side of the boxes visible to

MARIETTA REGATTA

The intercollegiate egatt d
was established over fifty years
ago at Poughkeepsie, New York.
Since then it has been one of
the greatest sporting events in
the United States. 1t stands
among rowing events as high as
the Kentucky Derby in racing,
the World Series in baseball and
the Rose Bowl game in football
1t is managed by the Board of
Stewards, American Intercollegi-
ate Rowing Association.
A committee was organized in
Marietta for the purpose of NOV
ing the national intercollegiate
championship rowing G regatta
from Poughkeepsie to Marietta.
Joining this effort was the Mari
eta Chamber of Commerce, city
officials and others. A group re-
presenting the rowing association
visited Marietta to view person
ally the Ohio river course. A
group of us journeyed to Anna
polls, Md, to present our case
to athletic officials of the naval
academy. A booklet containing
all the arguments in favor of the
Marietta course was prepared.
Contained in the booklet were
letters from Gov. Lausche, Sen.
Taft, former governor White, Mr..
Christie, president of the Mari
eta Chamber of Commerce, DR..
Irvine, president of Marietta Col
lege, Mayor Hartline of Marietta,
and myself. These letters all
urged transfer Of the races, and
pledged full cooperation to make
them a success.
The principle arguments in
favor of Marietta were the posi-
bility of larger net gate receipts,
the fact that Marietta is closer to
the center of the population of
the country, better crew housing
conditions at less cost, the provi-
sion of shell houses, good river
bank conditions and better ac-
commodations for visitors. Final
ly, the clinching argument was
the fact that the Ohio river offers
better racing conditions. These
arguments were sufficient to get
the race moved, and it will be
held at Marietta on June 18th.
The main course will be just
below Marietta. At this point the
Ohio river is 1850 feet wide.

THE POETS CORNER
THE GATES OF DAWN

AS magnet draws the apathetic steel,
So daybreak calls the mind to enterprise,
And sends to man its colorful appeal
To look above the land and view the skies
An unseen reel presents trilogy
Of loveliness in gray and pink and gold
And one may view this perfect unity
Whenever fascinating daWns unfold.
The magic light drive the dark atar,
And open gates of jasper or of jade
That momentarily might stand aJar
Before the opal dawn begins to fade
But they must close, lest through untrammeled sky,
Man sees a world not meant for mortal eye.

tiaI advantages against our ex-
porters throughout the world,
and it does not seem that they
should have both these advan-
tages and also the gift of so much
American taxpayers money.
The changing conditions GER
tainly justify a 20 per cent cut in
the whole ECA budget, and / do
not think such a cut will in any
way hinder the present economic
activity or future development of
Europe.
1T SHOULD be remembered also
that, when we initiated the
Marshall Plan in the Both Congress,
we had a surplus of So billion in
our own budget. Today we have a
deficit of Sc billion. Deficit spend
ing, in my opinion, is bound to
bring this country to imitation and
national bankruptcy. / believe it
is essential to take So billion off
the current budget and So billion
more next year. II Congress re-
fuses to economize in gifts to for
eign nations, it will certainly be
difficult to secure any economy in
domestic spending.
Mr.. Hoffman is proposing TO take
$500 million from the allotmentS
of the various nations to set up a
European Payments Fund" to en-
courage cooperation and settle
balances. Obviously he himself
does not think that direct gifts in
the sums proposed are absolutely
essential. If the cut is made, even
if he has to eliminate the European
Payments Fund, it is hard to see
how that could substantially in
jure the basic purpose of the pro-
gram.
AS part of the ECA bill, we are
asked to appropriate for a new
project rendering technical assist
ance to underdeveloped nations
throughout the world, part Of
"Point Four" This is another $45
million addition to the deficit.
Senator Vandenberg has urged
that, before we enter into any
new long-term program of for
eign aid, an impartial commits

whole problem. / fully agree
with him. Let's not get into any

"New" Formals

Spring on any campus means
countless dances and formal
parties. How will your wardrobe
stand the test? Before you throw
away that "outdated" formal in
despair, check it carefully to see
if there is any possibility of re-
styling it.
By shortening a dress to the
new mid-calf length, adding a
stole and removing the old trim
ming of flowers and ribbons yous
can have a practically new dress.
If you're a whiz with sewing
the job is even easier. You can
completely dismantle the old
dress and start from scratch. BY
adding new material for a top
Cor skirt it's possible to have
another welcome addition to
your wardrobe.
It's surprising how even tiny
flower (artificial this time) will
liven up any outfit. There are
some exceptionally good looking
ones that are priced very reason
ably. There is a wide choice in
cluding carnations, violets, shasta
daisies and many others.

But | do think that more money
has been spent, particularly in
England, than was justified by the
general purpose of checking Com

Ibelieve we should 60 through

ing off the expenditures and
ending the whole project in 1852
as Mr.. Hoffman proposes. But l
do not believe we should spend
as much money in the third and
fourth years as is proposed.
INDUSTRIAL production is 80
per cent above prewar in Eng
land, and it is 20 per cent above
prewar on the average in Western
Europe. Standards of living have
been restored, the average food
consumption in England being as
high as before the war. The de-
valuation of the pound has inn
proved the British position, so that
in the six months from October l,
1949 to April l, 1850 they have bal
anced their budget with the dollar
area. Gifts by the EGA have re-
suited in an increase in the British
gold and dollar reserves in the
same period by approximately
$3.50 million so that the reserves
are back to about 81 billion, con-
sidered a safe figure. Probably the
six months experience will not be
repeated during the next fiscal
year, but it has certainly rendered
obsolete the justification prepared
by the ECA last Fall for giving
Great Britain $687 million during
the next fiscal year.
