Decides Today on
Operating Again

RICHMOND. Va, Mar. 80 (Pl.
This is the day of decision in
the Piedmont League.
Directors of the league meet
here today to decide whether the
circuit folds or continues to OPP
crate. Right nov. the league has
only seven clubs. Colonial
Notwithstanding has dropped
out.
Eddie Mooers, owner of the
Colonial Heig hts Petersburg

franchise sold to a group at Sum-
bury, Pa. However, the Sunbury
group announced Monday the
deal was off.
Judge Ben Campbell, league
president, told stockholders and
boosters of the club at Lynch
burg. Va, last night the league
definitely will operate this sea-
son.
Campbell told a reporter the
league has three alternatives,
He said the league could Cd OPP
crate with seven clubs, (2) find
another member or 90 operate
with six teams. Finding an
other team seems nearly impos-
sible, Campbell said.

Ine subcommittee, neaQe0
North Carolina, has scheduled q
one-day hearing for 10 am
Tuesday on legislation to in
crease the pensions of annuitants
and survivors covered by the
civil service retirement system.
The Civil Service Commission
which reportedly favors an 9
per cent pension increase. will
be invited to attend. But whether
OF not the csc submits a report
the subcommittee intends tc
conclude the hearing in one day
and approve a bill.
The. subcommittee is reported
leaning toward a compromise
measure, which would give an
nuitants a IL per cent increase
on the first $500 of their PEN
sions and 8 per cent on any
amount above that. In no case
would the increase be permitted
to exceed $500.
j Legislation previously had
been sponsored by Chairman
Johnston of the full committee
to give retirees an increase OF
$54 for each six months they
have been retired, with a maxi
mum of $3.50 or 33 per cent,
whichever was less. But in
view of the Administrations is
jukewarm attitude toward even
an 8 per cent raise, the subcom-
,inittees apparently feels the
coinpromise it is considering
will have a better chance of be-
coming law this year.

Their purpose is to accomplish
as much as possible in the linn
tied time of their visit at Iowa
State College and in the United
States.
Boris Sokolov, Soviet corn spe-
cialist, was set to see finally the
main purpose of his journey
here: Professor G. f. Sprague of
Iowa State, it's understood Mr..
Sokolov would not be at all ad-
verse to spending all of the re-
mainder of his visit in America
working with Mr.. Sprague, whose
fame has travelled across the
oceans.
Arrangements are now in the
works for Alexander Yezhevsky,
farm machinery executive, to
make fairly extensive tour of
other farm machinery factories
than those on the original timer
ary which included the Interna-
tional Harvester works in Chi
cago and the Minneapolis Moline
plant in Minneapolis.
Has Special Task
Mr.. Yezhevsky has been
champing at the bit while visit
ing ordinary farms because he's
come with the task of getting an
idea of what's up to the minute
in the farm machinery field
something he wasn't finding out
on the individual farms.
The division of the IL Rus
slams into smaller groups has
given rise to serious translation
problems. Today a new Govern
ment translator arrives to assist.
He is Eugene Serebrennikov of

But the problem goes beyond
mere translation. It's a ques-
tion of people from a very diff
ferent culture with very diff
ferent type of social organization

mental aspects of American life

from Washington" asked Soviet
Farm Chief Vladimir Matske-
witch yesterday of the Dean OF
Agriculture at Iowa State Floyd
Andre.
Mr.. Andre answered: mo
body"
This was not easy for Mr.
Matskevich, although he is quick
to grasp and absorb. In Russia
the existence of an immense
educational institution without
its being controlled by the gov
ernment Is unthinkable.
Unthinkable Situation
Likewise one of the Russians
wanted to know whether the sci
entific research of the college was
controlled by the American
Academy of Sciences" It was
unthinkabIe. to him that science
could exist and even flourish
without central direction.
The Americans who are guild.
ing the tour for the Russian.
have reported a tendency on thu
part of the Russians to see ir
the county agent of the Depart

gives Washington's detailed or
ders to individual farmers or
what to plant. when to plant ant
where to sell it. But gradual,
the Russians are learning.
