Duke 'sPosition
On Post-Season
GamesAwaited
North CuroIinu Heads
Change Of Heart May
Brinq About Switch
By MerreIl WhittIesey

The door has been opened for
another bowl appearance by Mary
land. it is believed, following the
turnabout stand on post-season
games by Gordon Gray. president
of the University of North Caro-
lima.
While everybody at College Park
primarily Is concerned with Sat-
|urday's clash at Navy, there was
an undercurrent of bowl talk, too,
in the athletic Office and on the
campus.
In other parts Of the Southern
Conference area, there has been
considerable speculation following
Gray's talk to North Carolina
|alumni in Greensboro.
What will happen If Duke, a
leader against bowl games through
its president, Hollis Eden. goes
unbeaten, is pertinent question.
With all major bowls to be tele-
|vised this year. the guarantees will
be boosted. Could Maryland or
Duke afford to turn down a $780,
900 bid by the Sugar Bowl?
Gray Practical, Tatum Says.
Maryland's Jim Tatum said
Gray's switch from anti-bowl talk
to statement that he thought
|post-season games should not be
governed by conference regula-
ItionS. was rather expected.
Gordon Gray is a practical and
democratic man." Tatum said. "He
wants the majority to rule, and
would not force a policy if it was
not wanted"
It was Tatum's point that Gray
did not lead the fight against bowl
games, but. once the Southern Con-
ference presidents voted against
bowl participation by q member
school, Gray fought for punitive
action so his organization would
hold its respect.
For action by the Southern Con-
ference on the bowl question be-
fore the bids go out in November,
1t would take a write-in request
by .two-thirds Of the conference
members for special meeting,
and then a majority vote.
Navy Chief Concern.
But, of course, Tatum was much
more concerned with Navy than
speculation about another bowl
appearance by his defending Sugar
Bowl champions.
There was no rough work for
the Terps yesterday as the play
erS still show numerous bumps
and bruises from a rough after
noon against Georgia last Satur-
day.
Tatum took his squad into Byrd
Stadium and barred all visitors,
but he was amused at the en-
phasis put on secret drills etc.
It Is believed the move was part
of firing up the team, and not
due to any new plays that demand
such secrecy.
The Maryland coach said the
Terps are more keyed up than for
previous Navy games. There are
many reasons for this. one being
that this is the last game Of the
series and there's no use holding
back.
Another is that with Navy hav-
ing won five straight games, two
last year and three this season,
the Terps have added respect for
the team they defeated 1921 in
1850 and 1921 last year.

injured list causing concern are

changed his status from that Of
Government witness to hostile

The informer, John Henry

to the stand to tell of the alleged
purchase of II capsules of heroin
from the home of Joseph (Peter
Rabbit Smith in the 1900 block
of West Virginia avenue NE. last

At first the witness refused to
testify at all. But Judge David A.

ruled he must answer questions
posed by Assistant United States
Attorney Thomas A. Walden, jr.
The informer then said he was

Smiths address and told to at
tempt narcotics buy at the house.
He said the house was dark
when he entered and that a "boy"
who answered the door said that
Joseph Smith was not home. The
witness said that he purchased II

Policeman S Baby Son
Missed Last Kiss
Before Fathers Death

Little Jimmy McAllister didn't
Iget a kiss yesterday from his
policeman daddy before the father
went to work. because Jimmy had
Ia dirty face.
That was the last time g.
month-old Jimmy was to see his
father, Pvt. Robert w. McAllister,
"a, who was shot to death while
making traffic arrest.
Mrs. Clair Louise McAllister,
the policeman's wife. said her
husband wouldn't stay at home a
little longer yesterday afternoon
to watch television with her be-
cause "he had a phobia about
being late" to work.
Police Work Like Army"
She said they watched television
until $40 pm. He was due to go
on duty at 4. She urged him to
stay and watch a little more of
the program but he said police
force was like the Army and he
had to be on time. She told him
she would watch it and tell him
how the program ended.
He never found out the conclu-
sion. For on his way to work he
noticed Louis Andrew kirkland
driving suspiciously. While arrest
ing him, Pvt. McAllister was shot
to death.
According to his 21-year-old
wife, Pvt. McAllister believed a
policeman is on duty "a hours a
day. He always carried his badge
and often apprehended offenders
during off duty hours.
Just two weeks ago when we
were on our way to my mothers
house." Mrs. McAllister said
there was an accident ahead of
us. He got out of the car and
investigated.
Conscientious in Work.
Mrs. McAllister said her hus-
band loved police work.
He wasn't a respector of per-
sons as far as the law was con-
cerned," she said.
HE would have given a ticket
to the chief of police if he had to
He never took a ticket back"
He was as conscientious about
his own conduct also, the wife as
serted. To her knowledge he had
never even gone through a stop
sign.
Pvt. McAllister joined the police
force despite objections from some
members of his family. His wife
said she was in favor of his be-
longing to the force because he
wanted it so much.
Pvt. McAllister was graduated
from the Montgomery Blair High
School in 1916. He was a former
basketball star. He entered mil
ltary service in September of that
year and was sent to Japan for
18 months of occupation duty.
1t was while he was overseas
that romance bloomed between
him and his wife, the former Clair
Kelly. They had lived just two
houses apart on DeNeane road,
Hillandale.
While serving overseas with the
military police, Mr.. McAllister
wrote to his mother and asked
her to have Patty" as he called
his wife, write to him. She did and
when he returned they started to
go together. He enrolled at Uni
versity of Maryland and studied
there for Is months. They were
married while he was attending
the University.
His wife said they were buying
their home at $500 Sonoma road,
Bethesda.

japanese strategic intelligence re-

the Tokyo area would become in
Icreasingly severe, with a good pos
sibility that the brave new ship
would be seriously exposed at her
Ifitting-out dock. The ship must
be moved to the Inland Sea.
Not Ready for Sea.
But Shinano is not ready to 60
to sea. True. she is structurally
complete, her engines can oper-
ate and she floats, but she is not
quite ready. Her watertight in
Itegrity has not been proved. Air
tests have been made of only q
few of her hundreds Of compart-
Iments. Many holes through vari-
Ious bulkheads have not yet been
plugged. Watertight doors have
not been tested and it is not known
whether they can be closed; fur
thermore, even if they can be
closed. no one knows if they are
|acutally watertight.
Most important of all, the crew
has been on board for only one

but few have been to sea together
Many have never been to sea al

They do not know their ship. They

But it is decided, nonetheless

CHAPTER XI.
ArcherhSh.

Some Of the stories Of World
War II are part of our naval
heritage. and will 60 down in his
tory with stories of Old Ironsides.
Thomas Truxton and his Constel-
lation, John Paul Jones and Bon
Homme Richard, Enterprise. and
many others.
Such a story is the story of
Archerfish, the ship which broke
the heart of the Japanese Navy.
The story really begins in 1889
in Yokosuka, Japan. The Japa-
nese Naval Ministry was holding
secret sessions. The probability
of becoming involved in the Euro
pean war was growing greater and
greater; the probability of then
finding their nation pitted against
the United States was almost a
certainty.
How, then, to assure Japan of
a telling superiority? How to fight
that great American sea power in
the Pacific? And how to do away
with the London Naval Treaty,
which limited japan to an ignom-
inious three -fifths of the war YES
sells allowed the United States?
There was only one answer. The
treaty already had been violated
tear it up. Start building in
earnest for the war they know is
coming.
Secret instructions were sent to
the largest shipyard in Japan.
Millions of board feet of wood
came from the forest reserves. and
thousands of carpenters were en-
ployed to build a gigantic yard.
Houses for $4,000 people were
requisitioned and these, too, were
fenced in around the fenced navy
yard.
Workers Restricted.
Finally, one day in 1910, an order
was issued from the commandant's
office: From this date hence
forth no one leaves the navy yard"
And so was born the battleship
Shinano.
BY the summer of 1912 she was
not quite half finished. This super
battleship with two sisters va
mato and MuSashi, was bigger
than any war vessel ever before
constructed in the history Of the
world.
Then at the Battle Of Midway,
in June. 1912. the flower of the
japanese naval air force met de-
struction. Akagi, Kaga. Soryu
and Hiryu-all first-line carriers
were sunk.
The Naval Ministry met again
In secret session. and decided that
completion of new aircraft car
rierS was paramount. So Shinano
was redesigned.
Some of the tremendous armor
plate was removed from her side.
Her huge barbetteS, turrets and
18-inch guns were never installed
and the weight thus saved was put
into an armored flight deck made
Of hardened steel four inches
thick. Under this fight deck were
built two hangar decks and below
them another armored deck, eight
inches thick. She was capable of
storing 100 to $50 planes and
could land them and take them
off simultaneously from an airfield
nearly 1000 feet in length and 130
feet in width.
Finally. in November, 1914, Shi-
nano was nearly completed The
commissioning ceremonies were
held on November 18: a picture of
the Emperor in an ornate gilded
