there in customs and our agent
couldn't explain the details of
how Abe came to have them,
so they we're sent back to Rus
sia. Now, we're touring all the
time, so about seven weeks
later the furs catch up with
him in Portugal.
About that time" Dave
said, shifting at. the memory,
"two-thirds of the skins had
gone bad. Abe had to take out
an importers license to get
them at the customs office,
then he had to take out an ex-
porter's license to ship them
home again. BY that time
he wished he had gone to a
reputable furrier in Chicago
and bought a coat for his wife.
But we may come out all
right in the end. Abe's son
bought $4,000 worth Of Rus
sian stamps and has been SELL
ing them off since. Maybe we'll
break even yet"

Zinkoff paused for a breath,
and Mr.. Walsh seized the op-
portunity to deliver another
five-minute eulogy about the
Globetrotters. The old gentle
man has a piano-roll spiel on
the goodness OF sports, the in
creaSing popularity of sports,
and television's impact on the
sporting scene. Naturally, that
brought up Saperstein's pro-
posed new basketball league.
zinkoff said he thinks Abe
will work on the plans again
this summer and that he'll 60
through with the eight-team
circuit. Washington will have a
franchise, along with Cleve-
land. Chicago, Kansas City,
Minneapolis, Los Angeles, San

it really work? Nobody knows

The Globetrotters are the
only unmatched, unqualified
success-story Walsh and Zin-
koff know in basketball. And
that's true from Hong Kong to

Chamberlain also continued
to pace the league with a 500

he will better the .490 record

WITH THE
HIGH SCHOOLS

Back in 1858, DeMatha'S &
football team was forced to
drop out of the Catholic League
temporarily because it simply
couldn't compete with the likes
of st. Johns and Gonzaga.
Two years later the Hyatts-
vile schools basketball team
stepped down into a special
division for smaller Catholic
League schools because II
couldn't keep pace with the big
schools.
A 50-13 drubbing by ST.
Johns in football was the end
Of DeMathA's participation in
that sport until three years
ago. The Stags' first league
game after re-entering the
league was against st. Johns
and they scored a 7-6 upset
victory.
The basketball team came
back to join the top schools
the same year and now is at
the top Of the heap. not only
in the league but in the entire
Washington area.
Energetic Morgan Wootten
took over as football and
basketball coach at DeMatha
five years ago and has done
an amazing job in a short

A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW

A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW
RECENTLY Israel installed another salt water CONVEX
sion plant. Ths. type Of operation is no longer a novelty, or
purely experimental Time was when these plants, were used
on warships, and for extreme cases because of their imprac-
ticality and great financial disadvantage. Not 50 now. Con-
tinued experimentation has brought these salt water plants
to the place where their operation is not prohibitive.
THERE is UCH to be learned from Israel, and per
hapS one day some Of our officials might find it wise to take a
trip there. From deserts these people have grown orchards
and poisoning gardens. They have put up electric plants,
built roads, established communities selfSu6icient in them
selves, and started projects ranging from the most cultural,
with its fine symphony orchestra, to poultry farms.
ONE OF THE first and most important steps to be taken
by the new administration is to solve the water problem here
in these Islands. Wisely, Governor Merwin set down six major
detectives, starting with the water problem. This is no over
night dream, and there is no quick, or magic way out. ANY
solution which goes to the heart of the problem will require
much study and thorough, constant planning, and revision to
meeting changing conditions and demands.
AT THE MOMENT the emphasis is on water for the
needs of the tourist industry, with its many hotels demanding
running water in an almost endless supply. No industry of the
size we envision can possibly exist if water is to be imported
week by week. Nor can we seek one avenue of escape. The
long range view would be to develop the natural ways
through soil and water conservation. That calls for at least a
25-year plan. In the meantime the need goes right on, becom-
ing more acute as the days pass.
H ISRAEL HAS done we can do, even if on a much
smaller and more modest scale. The example was pointed out
because Of the similarity in ~problems-dry land, lack Of
water, few minerals, soil which seemed not very fertile, and
the need to develop industries to keep a people going.
IT'S FINE thing to import practically alive consume,
but that is highly dangerous, and the sooner we turn to deve-
Looping our industry, and our agriculture, and putting into eff
feet an operation Bootstrap Of our own, the sooner will we
really and truly claim. the economic independence we de-
serve And with it will come the political freedom which is
always the fruit Of economic self-suf6ciency.
