Who's Gonna Take
National League Flag?

A question burning in the minds of many baseball
fans today is "Who will win the National League pennant?"
Currently, it looks like any one of five teams Mil
waukee, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, or st. Louis
will head all the rest at the end of the campaign and face
the Yankees in the World Series.

The Cincinnati pitching staff
definitely is not the best in the
circuit. It isn't bad either. How
ever, heavy hitting has often
made up for the shortcomings
of its pitching which has enabled
the Cincinnati squad to remain
in the thick of the race.
st. Louis, a team composed of
bought and bartered players, of
young kids and grizzled veterans,
has been unbeatable at times,
feeble during other. periods.
The Cardinals have a good
pitching staff, something they
have lacked for the past few sea-
sons. This hurting is backed by
good hitting. Fielding is about
fourth best in the league.

has remained in the thick of the

Philadelphia has several good

pitching of its younger talent.

JOHANNESBURG. South AZ
RIGA, Mar. 10 (P).-Mrs. Mary
Louise Hooper of New York,
arrested by South African police
for deportation. said yesterday
she cannot imagine" why she
has incurred the displeasure of
South Africa's white supremacy
government.
The slight middle-aged wom-
an. daughter of a Quaker min

to Negroes.
1T was social service work
which carried out on my own"
she said in an interview az
Johannesburg Fort. the local
Jail.
Officials of the South African
Liberal Party said she had given
financial assistance to defend
ants in the mass treason trial
here and had driven them back
and forth to the drill hall where
the trial is being held. The gov
eminent is trying 1856 Europeans,
Africans and Indians, most of
them prominent in opposing
race segregation laws, on treason
charges.
Arrested Sunday
Mrs. Hooper was arrested last
Sunday at hotel here under
the Immigration Act. under
which the Interior Minister can
order her deported. His deci-
sion is not subject to appeal.
She was interviewed by United
States Consular officials yeSter-
day. Consul General Charles S.
Reed refused comment.
Mrs. Hooper told newsmen she
first came to South Africa as a
tourist in June, 1855, and re-
turned to America in April. 1856.
Later. l decided to apply for
a visa for permanent residence
here and this was granted with
out difficulty. In September last
year. I returned to South Africa,
bought a house in Durham, and
decided to settle in South Africa
permanently"

lars about her New York address
Liberal Party officials say she is
not a member of any political
party. though she supports the

There are several theories as
to what happened. Excavating
engineer Psychologists might
run on to some clues but many
Psychologists have tried to solve
the mystery before. A. likely
explanation, they say, is that
the climate changed much for
the worse throughout the Arc
tic basin, as it now is changing
much for the better. The re-
suit was that the seal and wall
rus, ordinarily found much far
ther north, were driven south.
With them came the Eskimo
who proceeded to massacre the
weakened white men.

School Board
Queried on Sites
City Heads Request
Dotu on Four Areas

The District Commissioners
today asked the Board of Edu-
cation whether 1t has any plans
for four sites long in the posses
sion of the school system but
never used for construction.
Schuyler Lowe, general adj
ministration director, suggested
that the sites ought to be sold
and returned to the tax rolls If
they aren't going to be used.
The areas are at Newark street
and Idaho avenue NV: w street
between Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets Sc; Thirteenth
and Van Buren, streets NV, and
Sixth and o streets NV.
Assistant School Supt. John M.
Riecks said school officials may
not want to release the property
at Sixth and o streets. a full
block. because of the possibility
of building a replacement there
for the present Shaw Junior High
School. There is also some ques-
ton. Mr.. Riecks said. about the
Southeast site, which once was
INTENDED fer an elementary
school but is now under control
of the Recreation Department.
He said as far as he knew
there are no plans for the other
two areas.
Mr.. Riecks said he is certain
that before relinquishing the
properties the Board of Educa-
ton will want to take up with
the Commissioners the question
of getting financial credit for
them.
Commissioner Robert Z. Nc
Laughlin raised the same point
at meeting of the Commits
sioners this morning.
The school system for some
years has been seeking to get
credit for sites returned to the
District. Mr.. Lowe told Mr.. Nc
'Laughlin that this would require
special legislation.
However. Mr.. Riscks said to-
day former Engineer Commits
sioner. Brig. Gen. Gordon r.
Young, had agreed to give the
schools credit for returned sites
on an informal basis.

Fairfax Commemorative At
torney Robert c. Fitzgerald said
local authorities yesterday in
quired about use of the attend
ance law against Mrs. Theo T.
DeFebio.
He said he recommended
against any legal action at the
local level because he felt the
problem would be occurring all
over the State. and declared that
Mr.. Almond would be asked for
advice.
George Pope. assistant SUPER
intendent of Fairfax County
schools. said he agreed with Mr.
Fitzgerald's recommendation to
let the State handle the prob
lem. The whole DeFebio mat
ter, he said, would be turned
over to the State Pupil Place
ment Board.
Law Explained
Dismissal of 9-year-old Nicky
DeFebio and the Forthcoming
action against 14-year old Teddy
has been brought about by Vir-
ginia's new pupil placement law,
which was part of the legisla-
tive program the State adopted
to preserve segregated schools.
The law requires that placement
applications be filed for all stu
dents enrolling in Virginia
schools. Assignments are made
by a three-member board ap-
pointed by the governor.
Last month, the placement
board advised local school au-
thorities throughout the State
that students should be dropped
If their parents failed to file
placement applications within Is
days after receiving them. Nicky,
who had entered the fourth
grade at Holm Hall Elemen-
tary School in January. was the
first to be sent home under the
new regulation.
The compulsory attendance
law which Fairfax school officials
questioned Mr.. Fitzgerald about
existed before adoption of the
placement program. 1t requires
parents. or guardians. to send
all children between the ages of
7 and l6 to school or have them
taught by approved instructors.
Violation Of the compulsory law
is a misdemeanor.
Objects to Pressure
Mrs. DeFebio said her refusal
to sign the placement applica-
tions was not connected with
the NAACP or any other organ
ization. She said she would not
fill out the applications because
she objected TO being "pressured
by the South into going along
with their views"

but 1t enlarges the soul and glorifles
Jesus, who made the supreme sacri-
flee for mankind.
During day of driving over the
city, one sees the need for a new
crusade such as the one Jesus Christ
brought to the earth more than 1900
years ago. We must begin to consider
our brethren first and ourselves
second.
There are hundreds OF oppor-
tunities for each Of us to help some
one else. There are organizations for
the young and old that appeal daily
for volunteer workers All we need
do is say we are ready to help.
