SiaSm for the high school crew
is greater than ever.
"ShOuld Be Our Year."
This should be our year."
Whltestone, an employe of the
Districts highway department
and a member of the District

point out. Actually, we should
have won the Nationals last year.

to give up. I'VE were DONE" he
says. Finished"
There was one last hope.
Whitestone and Jack Franklin,
the assistant coach, sat in the

about the parents?" Whitestone
suggested. why not?" Frank

much they want a crew."
Puts Facts Before Parents.
A meeting was called and
about a dozen parents showed
up. Their boys were members
of the crew. but most of them
had little f1rst-hand knowledge
of the sport and no knowledge
of the expenses. WhiteStone and
Franklin gave them the facts.

you'll have to do something
about supporting it,"
The parents formed the CIV
High Crew Boosters Club, COM

The club reached the people
Of Alexandria. Through volun-
tary contributions and a play put
on at the high school, the club
raised enough money to finance
the crew last season and then

If the Washington Lions had
q few more hockey players like
Stan Warecki, who scored both
goals as his team lost, 80, to
the Johnstown Jets last night
in Uline Arena, Coach Ducky
Skinner would feel better.
That's the trouble, with this
team" Skinner said after seeing
the Lions play sluggish hockey
for two periods in dropping the
first match in the Eastern
League playoffS. "Too many of
the players aren't giving every
thing they've got. If they would
all play like Warecki and a cou-
pie of others. no team in the
league could beat us"
May Switch Lineup.
Skinner was so disguised that
he is debating a switch from a
full lineup to two lines and three
defenSemen. That is what the
Lions used in the third period
when they played their only alert
hockey of the night and scored
both goals.
Several times during the sea-
son we've had to get by with an
undermined squad and the
boys had to hustle all the time, -
Skinner commented. We've
played winning hockey when we
didn't have a full lineup and
I'm thinking of sticking the boys
who aren't huStling on the bench
and letting them stay there.
They aren't doing us any good
on the ice."

Like the Norwegians, the Danes
much prefer an informal kind of
military service. They put con-
siderable stock in the home
guard, which numbers about
$4,000 men and offers certain
social and recreational attrac-

week ends. The home guard
undoubtedly increases the social
prestige of the uniform and
would play a genuine military
role in case of trouble. 1t is no

say that this amateur army does

They left Tokyo Thursday in

the Pentagon had ordered secur-
ity conditions placed on the trip
because the men had been "vic-
Tins of Communist propaganda. I"
Maj. James Campbell, public
information officer at Valley
Forge, said, however, the main
reason for the security measures
was simply that the men were
both tired and i'll and all had
expressed a desire not to be in
tervieWed."
Some of the men may have
come under the influence of
communism" Maj. Campbell
said, but the study of such
cases has been limited and not
conclusive. 1t would be unfair"

group of men in such manner"

Interest Rate Raised
To 4a1 Per Cent on
VAS Home Loans
Decision Involves
Mortgages Issued
After Next Tuesday

The Veterans Administration,
reluctantly and only as a last
resort" today increased maxi
mum interest rates on Vain
sured CT home loans from 4 to
AZ per cent.
The new rate becomes effec-
tive on loans closed after Tues
day and does not affect those
now in force.
The VA announcement was
made simultaneously with au-
thorization of an increase from
4.25 per cent to AZ per cent
on FILA insured home mortgages.
Veterans Administrator Gray
said the VA held out for the 4
per cent CT rate "as long as it
could in order to secure housing
at the lowest possible cost. :"
He made plain that the switch
was in line with administration
fiscal policy and noted that gen.
eral interest rate increases in
other forms of loans have re-
suited in a drying up of 4 per
cent money.
"Not Alternative" He Says.
Mr.. Gray said recent fiscal
changes have pushed interest
rates up to the point where VA
had mo alternative but to raise
the rate if the CT benefit was to
be preserved for veterans. I"
Among significant changes was
the Governments announcement
three weeks ago of a new bond
financing program calling for
the highest interest rates in his
tory.
The administrator said the VA
increase approved by Secretary
of the Treasury Humphrey today
should help veterans as far as
down payments are concerned.
1--WE have been assured by the
lending institutions of the coun-
try that they will make ample
CT loans available at the new
rate" he said. 1--WE have reason
to believe the new rate will move
lenders to be more liberal with
reSpect to down pavmentS and
maturities."
Raises Cost Several Dollars.
In terms of monthly costs to
veterans, VA said the y per
cent increase 1Would not impose
too great a burden"
On a typical $4,000 20-year
loan, for example. the mortgage
payment would be only about
$2.43 more per month, the agency
said.
officials pointed out that even
at the new rate, CT loans will
compare favorably with others.
Counting insurance, for example,
FILA home loans will bear a rate
of about S per cent while con-
ventional loans will be higher.
Farm, Business Included.
VA said the new AZ per cent
rate will apply to CT farm and

loans. More than 80 per cent of
