to draw two of the leagues better

Benny's Top Bills, 7-3
Last Wednesdays meeting be-
tween Benny's Arlington Cafe and
Bills Clothes saw two undefeated
teams go to the post with the
Benny nine retaining their un-
blemished mark by chalking up a
7-3 victory. Bud Abrams strong
crew, decked out for the first time
in their new uniforms which in
cluded satin trousers, pushed across
three runs in the first inning after
spotting the Five Points club a
a single marker. The league-leaders
clinched the verdict with another
trio of tallies in the fourth frame,
First Baseman Bob Shea's triple
leading the assault. Chuck Reimers,
Benny's right fielder, displayed un-
usual alertness on the base paths
in that inning when he scored from
second base on fly to right field,
catching the Clothiers mapping.
Loses No-Hitter
The most unusual game Of the
young season and certainly a
heartbreaker for the losing pitcher
was a 10 decision which Edwards
Funeral Home accepted" from the
Hayden Ave. Merchants last Fri
day night at Shaw Field. Harold
Blessing, Hayden's crafty hurler,
pitched no-hitter and didn't allow
a ball to be hit out of the infield
but all he got for his remarkable
efforts was a 10 loss, his first
in three well-pitched games. Bless
ing's teammates were unable to
fare much better against the Ed
wards hurler, Paul Ricchetti, from
whom they could collect only one
hit in seven innings, single by
Ken Waterbury in the fifth. The
'pay-off" came in the last half of
the seventh when Blessing walked
Ted Martaus, leading off for Ed
wards. Second baseman Bill Crow
ey then laid down a bunt which
vas fielded cleanly by Norm
3oehm, however, in his anxiety to
'etire Crowley, hit the runner on
he shoulder with the ball and
Martaus raced around the bases to
score the winning run as the
sphere rolled into right field.
Pulled Triple Play
Incidentally, while on the sub
iect of unusual plays in Class A
League action, we forgot to men
ton a rare feat which the Rinear-
Lambert Funeral home team, per-
formed during the first week of
,ompetition-a triple play. 1t oc-
cured in the June 18th game with
he Hayden Merchants and it
ended the game in dramatic fashion.
The RI entry led 90 as the Mer-
,hants came to bat in the bottom
half of the seventh but it looked
ike a rally might be in the offing
as Roy D'Anna walked and George
Werling singled to open the frame.
It was all over in a flash, however,
when Ken Waterbury, the next
oatter, grounded to Pitcher Ray
who threw to first
oaseman Don Aplin to retire Water

 A department hearing on the matter, scheduled for today, was called off.
 The department last week charged there was an apparent violation of the obscenity laws in the mail advertising and distribu- ton and ordered the company to answer the charges. The com pany replied with the affidavit.

In fact. spring will not do at all, for

Spanish Loon Opposed
Seoul Vet.

As an American of Spanish descent,
who lived in Spain during 1947 and 1948,
I have followed with much interest the
newspaper reports about the proposed
loan to the Franco government.
From my knowledge of Franco Spain.
I would say that Franco and his clique
Of radical fascists hate the United States
as much as do the leaders of Russia.
During the last war, Franco proved this
when he sent thousands of his troops to
Hitlers aid and gave the German die
tator bases in the Balearic Islands to
fire at our backs in the MEDITERRANEAN
area. He has killed thousands of inno-
vent Spanish who opposed his ruthless
dictatorship and has expatriated thou
sands more.
am not against loan to Spain-not
at all But feel sure that while Franco
is head of the Spanish government such
loan would be bad risk. Even the
Spanish people would feel the United
States is supporting ruthless dictator
ship which has always opposed our dem
ocratic way of life, while denying reli-
gious freedom in Spain. I know Spain
has very important strategic position
in case of war with Russia. but this does
not mean we should spend millions sup
porting Frances unframed army.
am glad that President Truman has
announced he will not make the loan,
and strongly urge all Americans to do
everything in their power to back him
up in this decision.

we sometimes consider pretty bad, much
too humid and tropical. Other times, we
think we have a rather good climate
and so we have, when we consider our
freedom from great winds, at least to
date. -.....
When it comes to tulips, autumn is
the only planting time, of course.
It. is easier to get genuine Holland
bulbs now.
This means that all of the Dutch
bulbs, so-called, should be put into the
ground before frost. or as, soon after
as possible. ~
There is a certain delight in planting
tulips that helps to keep the mind
steady In times such as these such
activities are needed more than ever.
It is good fun to select tulips, to send
for them, to receive them, to take out
the brown bulbs, to look them over. to
decide where to put them, to dig the
holes inches deep, to place them. to
pull the dirt in around them, to see that
it is firm, to smooth off the ground.
Fortunately, planting grass seed and
putting in tulip bulbs calls for letting
them lie, without worrying ones head
about them afterward.
This is gardening with pleasure. gar
dening without worry, gardening without
tears.
It is, indeed. exactly the sort Of gar
dening we need nowadays.

seeding every fall is not necessary.
All one has to do is hit the high spots,
as it were. That is, put in seed here
and there, especially in bare places.
Some experts say that digging the seed
in is not necessary, in the fall.
They simply sow the seed, trying to
give an especially generous quantity t.
the bare and barish looking places, and
then use rake and knock down such
seeds as may be caught on the blades of
the grass, particularly on the crab grass
blades.
That's all you do.
Simple, isn't it?
Then cut the grass regularly, at least
once week, and let the cut blades lie
where they fall.
This mulches the new grass seeds, OBJ
viates digging them in. When moisture
finally hits the lawn, the seeds sprout
and the tangle of cut blades holds the
new grass plants firm until they send
their roots far enough to hold them
selves.
That's the way we plant grass seed
here, and every newcomer to Washing
ton ough to learn it, because there is
no use trying mid-Western or Far West
ern or Far Southern methods here.

Forest Fires in Canada

More than hundred forest fires in British
Columbia and Alberta are responsible for the
haze which hangs over the whole North American
continent, the District of Columbia included.
This means that needed timber reserves of
Canada are going up in smoke. The loss would
be difficult to exaggerate. With the demand for
lumber constantly increasing, no country can
look upon such destruction within its borders
without concern for the future.
Timber grows slowly. The kind that reaches
ultimate maturity quickly is hardly worth both
ering about. Reports from Edmonton indicate
that the stands now burning are of the quality
known as marketable" In other words, what
Is being consumed by the flames is authentic
wealth. The same observation applied to the
recent blazes in Calfornia-"the worst outbreak
in Is years.
And the end is not yet. October and November
are dangerous months in the forest calendar
The current Canadian disaster probably was
caused by lightning, but most conflagrations on
this side of the border are attributed to human
agencies. Carelessness is to blame in majority
OF cases, though some fires unquestionably are
started by deliberate intention. Especially in
Georgia and Florida it is a custom to burn the
woods in autumn. The owners of free-range
cattle are responsible for these fires When they
are scolded, they retort: "If we didn't burn the
woods our animals would starve!"
Their reasoning is that the Scared land
soon produces vegetation which the cattle can
eat. No other consideration appeals to them.
But their view is rankly selfish, and eventually
1t will become untenable. Meanwhile, conserva-

When the United States troops ar
rived in Korea in 1945. we were greeted
as allies. It soon became apparent. how
ever. that the people were very critical
of us for having permitted the Russians
to establish an Iron Curtain" at the
38th parallel, and that they wished
us to leave in order that the country
could again become unified. When. in
December. 1945, it was announced that
an agreement with Russia had been
made whereby for the next five years
the United States was to be trustee
of South Korea and Russia was to be
trustee of North Korea. the South Ko-
reans actually became hostile toward us.
I fear that an announcement that
troops viii not be permitted north Of the
3Sth parallel would be interpreted by
the Koreans 10 mean that it is the in
tent of the United Nations to re-estab-
1ish the 38th parallel boundary. In that
event, we might find ourselves fighting
not only the North Koreans but the
South Koreans as well.

Services Team y 3 to Care for Wounded
By Ted Mcdowell

THE MEDICAL CORPS of the Army,
l. Navy and Air Force are cooperating
to form the links in chain Of medical
care leading from the Korean battlefields
to the general hospitals in this country.
Because of this co-operation-marked
by few difficulties which are being
ironed out-American wounded are get
ting the most up-to- date treatment in
world history.
The medical chain works like this:
The Army Medical Corps cares for
wounded in the field and transports them
to Korean port. There an airplane or
Navy hospital ship picks them up and
transports them to Tokyo. Necessary
surgery is performed aboard these 800
bed floating hospitals. Then the Mill
tary Air Transport Service takes over,
flying the wounded to Army and Navy
hospitals in the Pacific and throughout
the United States. Three Navy squad
rons are operating with the Air Forces
MATS. Many lives have been saved by
rapid evacuation made possible by this
CO. o-ordination.
OF course there are some gripes and
red-tape bottleneckS along the line, but
as Navy medical corps admiral says:
service he is in. It doesn't matter to him
whether a patient is soldier. sailor.
marine or airman. What matters is that
the patient is an American boy"
Such an attitude is nothing new. Dur
ing World War II, Army hospitals in
North Africa treated sailors and Pacific
Naval hospitals cared for soldiers.
Now 1t is possible for a sailor to be
treated at an Army hospital by an Air
Force physician. The Air Force Medical
Corps was formed little over year ago.
The Army and Air Force are stating
many hospitals jointly.
One of the best examples of this three
way cooperation is afforded in the Dis
trict. MATS flies the wounded to local
airfields. Then, depending on the type
Of injury and availability of beds, a
patient is taken by ambulance to either
Walter Reed Hospital at the Army Med
ical Center or to the Bethesda Naval
Medical Center.
More than 100 soldiers are among the
approximately 1000 patients at Bethesda.
Ten other naval hospitals in the United
States are also treating soldiers.
The drugs and other supplies at all
Defense Department hospitals are drawn
from common pool The armed serv-
ices medical corps formed joint supply
board and standardized purchasing pro-
cedures several years ago.
Army and Navy wounds are being
treated alike at Bethesda-but records
aren't. yet. This Is where the gripes and
bottlenecks come in.
