La Bakers Tour Cut
Short; To Leave US.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. -
Josephine Bakers triumphant
tour of U. S. theaters and night
clubs will end Aug. 8 when she
finishes tWo-weekS engagement
at the Golden Gate Theater here,
her manager Ned Schuyler, an
nounced this week. For reasons
of health, the internationally
famous st. Louis-born chanteuse
will not fulfill engagements be-
yond that date.
Miss Baker, who has been
breaking box office records in
California during the last several
weeks, suddenly decided to cut
short her current tour and return
to France Aug. IL. The exotic La
Baker has been working playing
theater and clubs continuously
since her return to this country
last April, and has been per-
forming on an average of four
times day. The star of nearly 20
years had been a -show-a-
day performer in Europe.
An attack of laryngitis several
days ago neceSsitated constant at
tendance by two throat specialists.
Miss Baker did not miss a per-
Torrance, however, refusing to
dlsappoint thousands of her fans
many of whom had stood in line
for hours to see "the legend nam
ed Josephine Baker" in person.
Following the conferences with
her manager and a trans Allan
tic telephone conversation with
her husband, 10 Bouillon, who is
in France, Miss Baker announc-
ed her decision to terminate the
current tour at the conclusion of
her San Francisco appearance
She had already signed for a re-
turn weeks engagement at the
RKO Hillstreet Theater in Los
Angeles to commence Aug. 10. In
Los Angeles the tabled Follies
Bergere star was a local Sensa-
ton, doing a smash $4,000 gross
her first week. Her second weeks
gross of $4,000 broke the thea
ter's record. Last Friday Miss
Baker reluctantly informed the
Hillstreet Theater management
that she was unable to go through
with the Aug. 10-17 return en-
gagement
The change in Miss Bakers
plans has also forced cancella-
ton of Josephine Baker Day., a
city-Wide tribute to the star
which was scheduled to be held
in Chicago Aug. 18 under the aus
pices of the Chicago Urban
League.
Before leaving the West Coast
Miss Baker will be the featured
performer at a $100San-invita-
ton benefit for the Damon Run
yon Cancer Fund at the MCCAIN
DO in Hollywood Aug. 8. Run
yon Fund officials said they ex-
pected the stars appearance there
to net the fund over $4,000.
Following the Mocambo bepe-
fit for the Runyon Fund Miss
Baker will fly to New York. She
will sail for Europe Aug. IL on
the lie de France to join her
husband and family in Dordogne,
France. After a short rest there,
she will begin a three-weeks con-
cert tour Of French cities

white schools"
Gov. ByrneS said:
I'VE will, if it is possible, live
within the law, preserve the pub
lie school system, and at the same
time maintain segregation. If that
is not possible, reluctantly we
will abandon the public school
system. To do that would be
choosing the lesser of two great
evils"
Gov. Wright said:
I'VE shall insist upon segrega-
ton, regardless of the cost or
consequences"
To the suggestion that schools
be given to the churches, the
article pointed out that many OF
the people of these three states
would not approve. They believe
that the traditional separation OF
church and state applies in edu-
cation as well, the SRC said.
This giving of the schools to
the churches, the SRC wrote,
raised the question of how the
schools will be divided up: How
many to Protestants, Catholics,
and Jews?
Still further to be considered,
according to the SRC, is the at
titude of the churches themselves
toward being cast into the role
of guardian of segregation.
This would reverse the trend
in many southern churches, many
of whom have proposed that their
respective churches move away
from segregation in their own
operation, according to the jour-
nal.
Many Protestant denominations
and the Catholic Church in the
South have opened their doors or
seminaries and colleges to both
races, the letter claimed.

 Fishing Cut
 To 48 Hours

ANCHORAGE. July B -iR- The fish hog" ravaging of a Cook In- let red salmon run resulted Satur- day in closing the waters to com nercial fishing for an additional 24 lours this week.
 Clarence Rhode. Regional Direct or of the Fish and Wildlife Service. said his emergency closure means there'll only be 4S hours of fishing allowed this week, on Monday and ,n Friday.
 Largest Fleet
 He said the move was taken in an attempt to save the remnant of I big red salmon school which was hard hit by an estimated TOO drift gillnet boats, the largest fleet ever to fish single Alaskan area.
 Rhodes closure came as H. J. Emard, Anchorage cannery owner. resident fishing unions and others urged the F. w. s. to ban drift gill; net boats from operating in Cook Inlet.
 In reply to the requests, Rhode said he had no authority to outlaw completely that specific type of gear.
 Escape Very Poor sr He said a stream survey showed salmon escapement to Inlet spawn ing grounds was very poor" He added that the red salmon pack to date already is greatly in excess of last year.
 A check of individual drift gill net boats showed the catch 30 per cent higher per boat than last year. It was reported here that 25O.O00 reds from Cook Inlet were packed in Kodiak caneries as of July IS. last Wednesday.
 Reports yesterday put estimates of the Cook Inlet take at 5000O0 to 750.000 reds, valued here at slIo per fish.

ArIlledFortes Mu;ilbeUpped, ] Says Truman Lane Bug-a-Boo Disproyed in Soap Box Derby

WASHINGTON, July 23, -lR- President Truman today told Con- gress it probably will be neces- sary to strengthen the armed for ces beyond the present goal of 3,500,000 men, regardless of peace prospects in Korea.
 He called for full speed ahead" on the military build-up, with no yielding to those who would dis card the anti-inflation control system "or shoot it full of holes. !"
 The message was MT. Truman's midyeari economic report. It went to Congress along with 255-page economic review prepared by his council of economic advisers.
 Mir. Truman set his sights on a $50, 900, ,OOO, 900 increase in the an- nual military spending rate in the year ahead.
 More Workers
 This, he said, will require up to 100000 more workers, five per cent boost in national output despite cuts in civilian goods, plus stiff taxes and controls to off, set widening "inflationary gap.'
 At this moment, he disclosed, i've are reviewing our immediate goals for military strength, and it is quite possible we shall have to raise them in several import ant respects"
 The President called the 3,5OO,- 000- man strength of the armed forces, now almost reached, an interim goal'' which may be in adequate against the worldwide threat of Soviet "blackmaii" and aggression.
 Tt now appears, as we review our strategic situation in the light of world events, that these goals may need to be raised, whether or not we have an arm istice in Korea" he told the leg islators.
 Whether or not new air groups, army divisions and navy and mar inc units are added, he said. We must move full speed ahead to- ward our present goals"

and an honor guard of American sailors will render final honors at the airport.
 A message from President Tru- man said the "country's loss is great" and Secretary of State Dean Acheson hailed the naval member of the joint chiefs of staff as "a statesman who saw beyond the military problems to the ob- jectives of national policy"
 Mrs. Sherman was at her hus- bands bedside when he died.
 Sherman replaced Adm. Louis Denfeld as navy chief in the bit- ter squabble over unification of the army, navy and air force. A brilliant flying admiral" he was jumped over the heads of nine senior officers to become the youngest chief of operations in the navy's history.
 Although some of his fellow of ficers weer critical when he took the post after President Truman fired Denfeld, Sherman's leader ship won him the confidence and devotion of the whole navy.
 Admiral Sherman first learned about ships from his grandfather, an old New Bedford, Mass, whaling captain. While still a very small boy, he knew the name of every line and spar on a fully -rigged ship. From the time he was years old he wan ted to be an admiral.
 Descendant of Aldens
 Forrest Percival Sherman was born October 30, 1896, at Merri- mack. NH, a descendant of John and Priscilla Alden who came. to America with the Plymouth Pil- grims in 1920.
 After being graduated from Melrose (Mass)- high school, he attunded Massachusetts Institute of Technology for year. The call of the sea was strong, how ever, and he took and passed a competitive examination for the Naval Academy. He was gradua- ted with distinction in 1917, sec- ond in his class of 199 midship- men.
 Almost immediately after re- ceiying his ensign's commission, Sherman saw service in World War I. He was assigned to Amer ican naval forces in the Mediter- ranean.
 From 1917 to 1922 he was jun for officer aboard a number of destroyers, cruisers and battle ships. In the latter year, he cast his fortunes with naval aviation, then a tiny fraction of seapower. He received his training at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON. = Most Capi- tai observers agree that not in years has there been such a tired, listless, indifferent, do-nothlng Congress as the 82nd The famed 80th Congress, against which President Truman campaigned to victory in 1948, was a stem-winder by comparison.
 Not only has the 82nd Congress failed to pass single approprla- tion by the end of the fiscal year, on June 30, but good many members don't seem to care. They don't even seem to care that they are being called the "horse-meat" Congress.
 Never in my recollection have both morale and morals been so low. leadership so lacking.
 Never in my recollection has there been less idealism, less pat riotism, such poor party dlsclp- line; never such shameless absen- teeism. Some Congressmen are present in Washington only one day a week.
 There are three main, overrid- ing reasons for this political par alysis:
 1. This is the tail-end of tired, uninspired admtaistration = prob- ably the end of long period of
