Argentina Holds Strong Edge
OnU. S. mPon American Games

/ United States. There's Herb Nc
Kenley of Jamaica, possible WIN
ner in both the 200 and 400-meter
dashes, Argentina's strong wom-
ems track team, Brazil, Mexico
and Argentina in men and wom-
ems swimming, Argentina In

stars from among 1000 athletes
of 81 nations competing here.
Probably the rudest blow was
dealt when Forum defeated the
United States champion, Art
Bragg, by inches in the 100 meters,
overhauling him in the last third
of the race.
Don Halderman, United States
favorite in the 40-meter hurdles,
sprained an ankle warming up
and finished distant third.
On the bright side, Nal Whit

can touch either Jim Fuchs in the

United States swimmers barely

6.3 seconds better than Uncle
Sans best candidate, Bill Heus-
ner, could do.
Allan Stack of the United
States, world record backstroke

100-meter trials, but at 1908, he
was only a second better than
Clemente Mejia of Mexico.
However, in the women's 100

Jacqueline Lavine, another Amer
ican, at 1909, won the only two

The President gave a brief review of American Foreign policy from the Yalta, Teheran, Cairo and Mos COW conferences down to the pres- ent Macarthur debate. He told how the United States went into these conferences hopefully, with no rea- son to distrust Russia's word. In an aside to FDR, Jr., Truman com mented: Your father attended these conferences and you know from him that what I am saying is right"
 Then the President described how Russia had violated her word and flouted the independence of Poland Hungary, Bulgaria and Czechoslo- vakia. Out of 37 definite commit ments, Truman reported, Russia has reneged on 33.
 Russia went her way, and we weer forced to go our way" the President explained sadly.
 Then he told how the United States had embarked on policy of keeping world peace, but at the same time stopping aggression However, he stressed that the way to stop communism and build a healthy world isn't by force alone This led up to his point program to rehabilitate backward nations.

 Imagine what this would mean to the starving people of India!' he said.
 The President also reported that the Euphrates Valley, which used to be the Garden of Eden, could be made into another Garden of Eden with modern reclamation.
 And he told about three tremen- dous falls in South America that are 10 feet higher than Niagara, send four times the volume of water plunging over them, and could be developed into great sour ces for electrical power.

A-YEAR-0LD RF(-B0 DEAL
 IS REVEALED

WASHINGTON, June 1, = R - A four-year-old proposed Senate committee report accusing the REC and the B & o railroad with "col- lusive and irregular dealings was made public today.
 The dealings involved an Soo'ooo'- 900 loan made by the government Reconstruction Finance Corporation to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
 The document said RFC's ar rangements with the B & o con- corning the loan violated the RfC act.
 The arrangements also exposed the railroad ito far greater risks than was necessary or warranted by the B & Os financial condl- tion.p the proposed report said.
 It wound up with a recommenda- ton that the record of Senate Banking subcommittee's investlga- ton of the REC and the B & o loan be turned over to the Justice Department for possible prosecu- tions.
 The report was released today by the Banking committee without comment.
 The RFC-B & o deal has been the subject of several Washington Mer- -Go-Rounds by Drew Pearson.

Slaughtering Alaska's Game
Fairbanks News-Miner)

This week. the bodies of four dead caribou were found near the Steese highway Someone who merely wanted to kill something slaughtered the animals and left them to rot.
 Alaska is the only land under the American flag where caribou exist in the wild state The ani- mas have become increasingly in recent years
 They provide excellent hunting in season, they provide livelihood for hundreds of Natives ana they are an attraction that draws visiting hunters ana outdoorsmen to Alaska. They are one of the lerrl- torv's most valuable wildlife resources.
 It is difficult to understand how person. or pro,p of persons could deliberately and wantony slaughter these valuable animals merely for the hte pleasure there is in killing them.
 But that happened Fairbanks this week Some vicious moron with gun, feled four of these mapnificent game animals, then let them go com nletelv to waste For whatever pleasure there IS m milling a trigger and then watching caribou dle, he destroyed hundreds of pounds of meat ana Wlpeo ont four game animals that one can replace
 Such irresponsible killing of Alaskas Valuape game animals will eventually wipe out our good hunt- inc The widife of the Territory is one ot AlasKa most valuable heritages. The animals are there TOT the use of all but the supply is not lneXhausupie SD they should be taken in season, and ln legal numbers person who takes more than hls snare or worse still who wantonly saughters them, IS rop- hing the people of Alaska of priceless resource
 We hope that Fish and Wldlife agents will bring tbe men who slaughtered those caribou to justice and sock them with penalty that matches the wanton. destructive act they have committed

Truman and Macarthur

Probably most newsworthy, the President described his private talk with General Macarthur at Wake Island. This was the man-to-man talk that was never heard by any one else nor taken down in short hand.
 The President quoted MacArthur as vowing never to let the Repub- licans use" him again. MacArthur complained to the President that the Republicans had pulled him in- to the 1948 campaign and had left him flat. He added that he didn't want to get into anything like that" again and didn't propose to be used by the Republicans.
 This, the President said, was one reason he. was so shocked to learn that Macarthur had written to House Republican leader Joe Mar tin and, once again, had let him. self be used by the Republicans.
 The President also told how Mac Arthur had talked himself out" of the VFW incident. MacArthur's explanation was that he wasn't aware" that his statement to the Veterans of Foreign Wars conven- tion was in violation of orders. He also said he wasn't aware" there would be so much public interest in his statement.
 Turning to Kilgore, the President remarked ruefully: T know you advised me a year ago to get rid of MacArthur I wish I had taken your advice. Lord knows, no one has tried harder than I have to get along with the man. I even flew 5000 miles to talk to him personally gave him enough rope to hang himself a dozen times. He just wasn't satisfied. He had to go further and further against all good military judgment
 In talking about Macarthur, Sem ators were impressed by the fact that Truman seemed to display no anger or bitterness, chiefly disap- pointment.
