TOKYO, May 2.
NITED NATIONS forces sent out aggressive patrois
deep into No Man’s Land today, the second day of the
lull along the Korean front. Communists believed to be
organising for the next phase of their “suicide†offensive
made small scale attacks on the eastern front. Elsewhere
they remained out of contact. But United Nations patrols
met Communist units ranging up to battalion size north-
west and north of Seoul.
Eighth Army estimated Com
munist casualties yesterday at
1,290. Officers said Communist
disengagement was similar to the
mysterious withdrawal in Chor
won-Kumhwa area about a week
ago just before their offensive.
United Nations planes attacked
North Korean traffic again today
claiming more than 150 trucks
foaded with supplies and twe
locomotives destroyed on mair
railways.
Jets blew up six trucks of an
ammunition train.
American aerial torpedoes won
a battle of the Rivers from Chi-
nese Communists to-day. Torrents
of water gushed through holes
ripped in the Hwachon dam by
United States skyraiders.
Communists had closed sluice
gates to lower the level of the
Pukham and Han Rivers and
make them easier to ford.
One of the dams was destroyed
A 10 foot hole was ripped in
another. Now the Reds will have
to build bridges to cross the
river. Their engineers will be
easy targets for United Nations
artillery and planes which blasted
the drive out of the nine day old
Communist offensive.
The front was quiet again on
Wednesday.

There was great excitement

VOCATE
Pleats v. Frills
By Dorothy Barkley
; LONDON, April 27,
With the tennis season drawing
{tion of last year’s battle of the
conventional versus the reaction-
|ary in tennis wear. At ong ex-
treme stands Jantzen, proragting
the conventional style, % the
Teddy Tinling,
advocating the reactionary.
The Jantzen designs
ored and crisply cut, with no
frills or frivolous details. In con-
trast to this, are the Teddy Tin-
ling designs with their lace edges
and fancy stitching.
To illustrate just what is meant
by the “conventional†style we
show an example from the Jant-
zen range. Materials are chosen
for their crisp freshness, but also
for their washability. Thus we
find that cotton pique is the usual
choice, although of course ‘there
are spun rayons, sharkSkins and
—now this year—knitted shark-
skins. All of these are in white
—without a touch of colour,
are tail-
New Designs
Jantzen make suoris and dress-
es, and have introduced several
new designs. Shorts are varying
in styles, either pleated or plain,
There are the classic cuffed shorts,
simple and well tailored; afid a
new style, perfectly plain, with
jutting pockets on the hips which
accentuate the waist. Jantzen
have designed. also, an unusual
kilted skirt—pleated all round—
as short as a skating skirt, Other
shorts, perhaps more feminine,
have double sunray pleats that
flare in action. These are stitched
so that they lie flat for easy iron-
ing.
For wear with either shorts or
skirts, Jantzen have designed a
cap-sleeved shirt with a deep
back pleat for shoulder room
Those, like their neat briefs, are
made in matching materials.
Another * attractive style is
called the “romper tunic,†illus-
trated here. It consists of a one-
piece shirt-cum-bloomers with
“boxer†(elasticised) waist, and
a flared overskirt that fastens with
one button at the waist. This can
be removed and the one=piecr
bloomer-suit alone is just right
for the squash court.
Janizen design, too, dresses cut
on princess or button-through
lines; those are also perfectly
suitable for gold and sports wear
generally. ;

Egglesfield Calls
Air Services
Adequate
From Our Own Cotrespondent
PORT-OF-SPAIN, April 30.
Wing Commander Egglesfield,
Director General of Civil Aviation
in the West Indies, arrived in
Trinidad last week to confer with
Sir Miles Thomas, visiting Chair-
man of the B.O,A.C. He com-
mented on the establishment of a
helicopter service for the Wind-
ward Islands, and said that at this
stage it would be too far ahead of
the times for journeys of the kind
over the sea for the most part in a
single-engined craft. \
He pointed out that while work
on a two-engined helicopter was
going on, this would take some
time to complete, as it had to be
flown anq tested. Mr. Egglesfield
said that he thought the existing
aiy services of the West Indies
were adequate, and he described
the recent B.W.1.A. cuts as not
serious enough to impair the
efficiency of the service.

Parade

PORT-OF-SPAIN, May 1.
Hundreds of workers repre-

whicn is recognised throughout
the world as Labour Day. It was
the biggest demonstration seen in
Trinidad on this occasion, The
cemonstration was organised by
the Trades’ Union Council, which
embraces the majority of Trade
Unions in the Colony. Placards
bearing “We want full employ-
ment,†“Long Live the Working
Ciass,†were held high as bearers
voiced their sentiments marching
triumphantly through the city.
Creating quite a stir among spec-
tators who viewed the procession
was a group of Chinese seamen,
representatives of the Chinese
National Seamen Union. Dressed
in their national costume and
proudly waving their standards,
they walked side by side with
their fellow workers, The
rhythmic beat of the steel band
who played “Onward Christian

PORT-OF-SPAIN, May 1.
Peter Rawlins, a Port-of-Spain
man was sentenced to prison in
the Third Police Court. for six
months because he bit off the ear
of another man and swallowed
it.
Sampson the victim, told the
Court that he went to a rum shop
to get a drink of water. Rawlins
-was standing at the counter, and
he asked him for a chance to get
the cu which contained the
water. Kawlins, he said, paid him
no mind, so he touched him on
the back, and Rawlins sprang on
him, bit off a piece of his left
ear and swallowed it.

Oil Fights
Eelworm Pest
LONDON, April 27.
A_ petroleum-based chemical
product, known as Shell D-D, is
achieving remarkable results as a
soil fumigant and general anti-
pest “policemanâ€. From both
tropical and temperate countries
the success story is the same, It
has already proved effective in
such widely-different areas as
Hawaii, Uganda, Singapore. Here
is the story of this new ally in the
battle against crop disease,
Shell D-D is an abbreviation of
Dichloropropane-Dichloropropene,
and this liquid mixture of com-
pounds originally a mere waste
product of petroleum chemicals at
Shell chemical plants in the U.S.A,
In 1942-43 a crisis arose in the
hitherto thriving pineapple indus-
try of Hawaii. The root-knot eel-
worm, a microscopic threadlike
creature, was infesting the soil to
such disastrous effect that crop
yields were dropping to a fraction
of normal. Many chemical fumi-
ants were tried without result
hell D-D, by contrast, at once
achieved decisive defeat of the
eelworm and the crop was saved.
As a direct result, the United
States Department of Agriculture
instituted full-scale trials in con-
junction with SheNs research
organization and the fumigant
was quickly proved capable of
providing not only eelworm con-
trol but even, under favourable
conditions, of stimulating the
yield of ali kinds of crops most
spectacularly.
With the end of World War II,
the commercial possibilities of
Shell D-D soil fumigant were soon
demonstrated in many diverse
overseas countries, notably South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand,
Nigeria, Belgium, Holland and
the U.K., where extensive trials
began in 1945-46, —
Controls White Ant
Two other eelworms (or nema-
odes) have proved particularly
troublesome pests — the Potato
Root Eelworm and the Sugar Root
Eelworm, Although proving less
susceptible than tbe Root-knot
eelworm to D—D fumigation, these
two also may once day lose their
underground war. here have
been exhaustive tests on sugar
beet crops in Belgium and else-
where on the Continent and there
is some promise at last of real
relief to the farmer,
Nor is the effectiveness of D-D
confined to the eelworm pests.
Uganda, Singapore and the Phil-
ippines are but three of the areas
Where the termite, or white ant,
has been fought and controlled by
careful fumigation of its nest, One
Singapore report is interesting as
indicating an unusual anti-termite
battlegyound—the greens of a
local golf club.
White grubs attacking sugar
beet in Puerto Rico, eelworm in-
festing narcissus bulbs in Holland,
earthworms in Turkish tobacco
seed-beds, even wireworms,
crickets, ecockchafers and weed
growths—all these are other re-
cent enemies successfully attacked.

Dispute
Insoluble
—Says Brooke
By CHARLES A. SMITH.
LONDON, April,
Prime Minister†of Northern
Ireland, Sir Basil Brooke, said in
London that the Irish partition
dispute is insoluble.
“There is absolutely no com-
mon meeting ground between
Northern Ireland and Eire on
which a basis of compromise could
be found or even discussed,†Sir
Basil told International ews
Service.
“And that applies to the long-
term view as well as to the pres-
ent time,†Sir Basil added.
The 64-year-old Premier said
he wanted to clear the air and put
before Americans a true picture
of Northern Ireland’s views.
“Northern Treland chose to re-
main affiliated to Britain by a free
and democratic vote,†Sir Basil
said. “Until the people of North-
ern Ireland say they want to leave
the British Empire and = them-
selves with the Republic of Eire,
Northern Ireland will
separate from Eire.
“Northern Ireland wasn’t dra-
gooned or bludgeoned or com-
lied to stay in the British orbit.
er people chose to remain Brit-
ish and will continue to remain
British,â€
Open Ports
‘Sir Basil declared that because
Northern Ireland wanted to play
her full part in the defense of de-
mocracy, she would “readily throw
open her ports, airfields am mili-
tary establishments for the use of
Britain, America, and any other
co-operating powers in the event
of war, whether or not Eire re-
mained. neutral.â€
And he said that should General
Eisenhower ask Northern Ireland
for bases, “they will readily be
given him, no matter how much
Eire may protest.â€
The Premier described Northern
Ireland as one of thé bastions and
an essential factor in the British
een of defense and emphasized
that it would remain a_ bastion,
“in spite of Southern Irish neu-
trality or in spite of the refusal
of facilities for the use of South-
ern Irish ports.â€
Sir Basil charged that an “at-
tempt is being made today to ex-
ploit Western defense in the in-
terests of a campaign for the in-
clusion of Northern Ireland in an,
all-Ireland republic,†and that
remain
Southern Irish leaders have beenj!
attempting to enlist American aicphistoric
in the campaign. He said the basi
of the campaign apparently wa
that partition prevented Eire from
joining with the Atlantic Treaty
defense arrangements,
Ne Impediment
He drew attention however to
Eire’s history of neutrality and to
speeches by Irish leaders, the in-
ference from which was that “the
Irish republic will remain passive
as long as war does not touch its
own soil.â€
“There can be no _ departure
from the existing position,†Sir
Basil said. “Whether Southern
Ireland retains or abandons neu-
trality, whether she joins the
Atlantic Pact or continues in iso-
lation, the decision of Northern
Ireland to remain part of the
United Kingdom is unalterable.
This is well known to the South-
ern Irish Government.â€
“There is no sound reasgn why
Southern Ireland should not par-
ticipate without demanding the
fulfilment of any extraneous
condition,†the Premier insisted.
“The maintenance of Northern
Ireland's constitutional status can-
not legitimately be said to stand
in the way.â€

Report on Korea warned Preside:

would seek control of that coun-
try, publication of the documen:
disclosed today.
“The report drafted in Septem-
ber 1947 by Lieutenant Genera)
Albert Wedemeyer urged the
United States to undertake a
vigorous programme of arms
assistance to the republic of
Korea.
Wedemeyer recommended to
Truman that American Occupation
treops remain in South
until Russian troops were with-
drawn from North Korea. This
was done. But Wedemeyer’s
recommendations for a
programme of United States
military aid was not implemented,
Wedemeyer predicted “undoubt-
edly†the Russian objective would
be to obtain control of South
Korea by using Communist Nortl
Korean military forces sponsorec
and trained by infiltration and by
other methods usually undertaken
by Reds.
Wedemeyer's report was made
three years before the North
Koreans struck at the South
Korean Republic in June 1950
with an invasion followed
up by the intervention of Chinese
Communists in force in November
1950. ar
Fact Finding
Truman on July 9, 1947 on the
recommendation of the then Sec-
retary of State General Marshall,
ordered Wedemeyer to China and
Korea on a fact-finding mission.
The General and the Mission
spent about one month in China
and then visited briefly Korea,
Wedemeyer said that after
Russian troops left North Korea,
“one of the Kremlin's major objec-
tives†will undoubtedly be to
control South Korea by utiliza-
tion of Communist Korean armed
forces as a means of pressure
after the withdrawal of United
States forces as done in the cases
of Poland, Outer Mongolia, Yugo-
slavia and Albania,â€
He declared that “Soviet-dom-
inated Korea would constitute a
serious political and psychological
threat to Manchuria, North China
and Japan and hence to United
States interests in the Far East.

Festival Thursday
Today, on the sceps of St. Paul's, the
King will declare the Festival of Britain
open. This year is the fiftieth anniversary
of the Great Exhibition, a successful festi-
val sponsored by Prince Albert, husband
of Queen Victoria.
There is no deubt that the Festival will
be great fun, a fairyland has been created
at Battersea—one of the grimmest parts
of London—and arrangements have been
made for other sections of the show to be
staged in other centres, but is it worth it?
The Festival Gardens alone were estim-
ated at first to cost £770,000, but the cost
has now rocketed to £2,500,000 with an
estimated loss of £1,500,000. Out of all
this will come six months of pleasure for
‘Londoners.
Can the British afford to spend this
amount of money on a celebration when
they have so little to celebrate about? The
Festival, it was hoped, would succeed in
attracting dollar visitors to Britain, and by
putting Britain’s achievements in industry
on show help to boost the export trade.
But so far the Americans seem to be very
little interested in the Festival, and the-
tourists who are going to Britain this year
are heading for Stratford-on-Avon and the
Lake District, not for Battersea. It seems
as if the Socialists, not content with Gam-
bia and the Groundnuts Scheme, have
decided to go in for squandering money on
a large scale at home.
The core of the Festival will be in Lon-
don, where, besides Morrison’s fun fair,
there will be displays drawn from the
fields of science, technology and industrial
design. Also in London there will be ex-
hibitions of books, science and architec-
ture. In Glasgow British heavy industry
will be on show, and the exhibition in Bel-
fast will be mainly concerned with the
Trish linen industry.
There will also be two travelling exhi-
bitions which will visit the important
centres of the country, One of these will
be mounted on a ship and the other will
travel overland. The latter will need over
100 lorries to transport its collection of
5,000 exhibits from city to city.
“The chief and governing purpose of the
Festivalâ€, says the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, “is to declare our belief and trust
in the British way of life, not with any
boastful self-confidence nor with any
aggressive self-advertisement, but with the
sober and humble trust that by holding
fast to that which is good and rejecting
from our midst that which is evil we may
continue to be a nation at unity in itself
and’ of service to the world. It is good at
a.time like the present so to strengthen,
and in part to recover, our hold on the
abiding principles of all that is best in our
national life.†But is this really so? will
the Festival do anything to maintain the
British way of life? It seems very un-
likely,
The only way for the British way of life
to be maintained is for Britain to prosper,
and with a Socialist Government in power
—a Government with so little economic
sense that they agreed that a bankrupt
country should stage an expensive Festival
—there is little hope of that.
But; if the Festival achieves nothing else,
it will at least have brought a little colour
and enjoyment to Britain. With “every-
thing going up†and a-shortage of food,
the British need a little diversion. In
fact, the Festival may act as a moral boo-
ster. But. no doubt it would have been
cheaper to equip every citizen with a
“morale raiser†like the one on show at
Battersea which murmurs comforting re-
marks stich as “Well done old chap; you’re
doing fine!†than stage a mammoth flop,

“Handy time to tell us we’ve built it upside down.â€
History
Ciudad Trujillo
You cannot escape history any-
where, but in this city it lives
with you vocally. For it has the
first cathedral to be established
in the New World; it was in this
island that the first Mass was
sung in the Americas it was here
that the first municipal govern-
ment of the New World was set
up and the first viceroyship of
the western world was that of
Santo Domingo.
It was from Santo Domingo
that Christopher Columbus car-
ried out his other voyages of dis-
covery; he landed on this island
on December 5, 1492—Jamaica
was discovered on May 3, 1494
nearly two years later. Here they
will show you homes’ where
members of Columbus’ family
lived; they reverently show you
too the remains of Christopher
Columbtis in an imposing marble
and vronze monument in the
cathedral.
So it is natural that los Domini-
canos regard themselves as hav-
ing a mission in the New World
—note their five million dollar
plan to erect a great international
monument to Columbus, a mono-
lithic cross one kilometre long
which will stand foursquare, ‘to
all the winds that blow, and will
send to the skies a great cross of
light as a beacon to lighten the
way for all the peoples of the
west.
This sense of mission and sense
of history are perhaps the same.
And it cannot fail to impress you,
even if you regard history as
dull and monuments past or pro-
jected as futile. Jamaicans seem
by contrast completely uncon-
cerned about the past; monu-
ments mean nothing to them;
their history perhaps has not
been sublimated into a national-
istic urge or consciousness.
Not se in Ciudad Trujillé, in
whose past I was perforce steeped
all day today when I had the
honour of a distinguished guide,
Senor Cesar Tolentino, brother of
Gustavo the Dominican Consul in
Kingston .
Cesar is one of the patriarchs
of the Government, the Trujill
Government. With unwrinkled
skin, bright eyes, only his uneven
steps suggest that he is nearing
0. He has served his country
in many capacities. It was dur-

Editor of The Daily Gleaner
ing his tenure of office as Min-
ister of Agriculture that the great
rice-growing programme was
started; it was his family who
sent to Jamaica seeds of the Buf-
falo strain of rice which have
shown such good results recently.
Cesar has been ambassador in
Spain, France, Rome and _ all
Central America. He knows Ja-
maica too for—like so many other
distinguished leaders of Latin
America in years past—he took
refuge there in 1913 during a
revolution.
Senor Tolentino showed me the
old section of the city with its
ancient walls and gates and forts,
explained the glories of the Do-
minican sense of mission, took
me over the site of the great
Columbus Beacon—el Faro Co-
lon—where men were’ working
at excavations for the central
erypt into which are to be re-
moved Columbus’s remains now
in the Cathedral, and other relics
of the family donated by the
government of Spain. The men
were hard at work although it
was a Holy Week holiday; the
Government wants rapid pro-
gress on the scheme.
>
The symbolism of the monu-
ment is, of course, based on the
cross, the Christian cross; look-
ing to the east from which re-
ligion and civilisation came to the
west; solid and massive in con-
struction to demonstrate the
hazards of wind and earthquake
to which the Caribbean is sub-
ject. Round about jt are to be
built a new town, an international
airport, a modern setting for the
memorial to the country’s found-
er.
Most countries of the New
World are subscribing to the cost,
and the inauguration—perhaps
two years’ time—will be a New
World festival.
After visiting the Senate, which
is housed in a massive building
erected as a Governor's palace
when the Haitians ruled the
whole island, we settled down to
converse. Mellowed by a Britisn
Honduras drink—Pitch a Clan—
or let’s get together—Senor To-
lentino talked of his country’s
past and its present problems,

mixed with Spanish, Negro and
other strains. In the interior you
may still see Dominican types
with the true Indian features.
That is one of the first contrasts
to note between Santo Domingc
and Haiti, the latter predominant-
ly negro, here Spanish mulattoes
on an Amerindian base, And Seno:
Tolentino told me of other con-
trasts—the high production oi
Santo Domingo, the more intense
producti the greater wealth
extracted from the soil. | For
while Haiti has to seek work fo
her people in Santo Domingo | them: a pound of steak and a pint of beer,
there is no unemployment here
and the Government is now de-
finitely to undertake limited im-
portation of Haitian workers
What Senor Tolentino has tolc
me is borne out by the figures
Santo Domingo exports about £14
per annum per head of its two
and a quarter million people:
while Haiti’s three and three-
quarter million people export only
£3 per head. The pressure on the
land in Haiti is great, more than
Jamaica's and almost
twice Santo Domingo’s 155 people
per square mile. The people of
Santo Domingo are able to fur-|moving in cavalcade from corral to corral as
nish taxation at the rate per head
of £14 per annum, more than
nine times the per capita taxes
of the Haitian people, and twice
the per capita taxation in Ja-
maica.
And so when you tie in the his-
tory of the emergence of Sante
Domingo from Haitian domin-
ance, when you realise that near-
ly half a million Haitians were
once living in this country and
had to be sent back home, note
the pressure on land room in
Haiti, the comparative prosperity
of this country, then you can
understand the border incidents
ef some years ago.

Oil
To the Editor, The Advocate—
SIR,—Cil is a known emollient
+a soothing agent. It was this
~ eas, that was in old Keir
- “Hardie’s mind when he said about
Churchill “well he doesn’t walk
about with an oil can.†But oil
as far as Barbados is concerned
, Stems to have lost this quality
_,since an important debate in the
House of Lords as published in
last Sunday's Advocate. “It has
‘, mow become an irritant, and aia’-
one who ventures to discuss ii
‘Ieaves himself open to criticism.
But if a subject is important it
should be discussed and talked
about in the honest endeaveur to
find the true facts‘and perspective,
In the Lo¥ds’ debate Lord Teviot
made. the following points— »
(I)* The B.U. (we'll,call them
so for brevity) had secured leases
over 78% of drillable land in
~Barbados. 2
(2) They drilled 52 wells of
about 4,015 feet deep. ;
(3) This was the position when
war started in, 1939.
(4) Arrangements had been
made with Leaseholds to drill
deep wells.
(5) In March 1946 the Col,
Secretary of Barbados intimated
to the Company that the Barba-
dos Government intended to take
over all underground oil rights,
and give the B.U. prospecting li-
cences over the whole Island.
(6) In July 1947, Sir H. Blood,
Governor of Barbados, read to
the Company’s agent a despatch
from the Colonial Office, London,
suggesting that Barbados give
a prospecting license to the Com-
pany over the whole » in
return for the surrender of the
Company's leases.
(7) Mr, Lepper’s report (Janu-
ary 1949) had recommended that
the B.U. be given the sole pros-
pecting licence over the ole
Island.
(8) In May 1949 the acting
Governor of Barbados confirmed
to B.U.’s Manager that his Gov-
ernment would abide by the
Lepper report.
(9) Trusting to these promises,
the B.U. surrendered their leases,
and did not oppose the Petroleum
measure,
(10). The aet gave no compen-
sation for the loss of rights io
explore for oil, which the B,U.
had secured by their leases,
These points make quite a for-
midable impression on the reader,
but you should note that they
consist of statements by a Col-
onial Secretary of Barbados—by
a Clerk in the Colonial Office,
London—by a Governor of Bar-
bados, and by Mr. Lepper. Now
none of these had any right or
authority to speak for the Legis-
lature of Barbados, or to bind
that Legislature in any way. [An
important Constitutional question
is involved, but this letter is too
long already to deal with that
here]; Nevertheless is it not a
fact that if you or I had received
such assurances we should have
relied on them, and been content
to do so.
Now about 1950 something
must have happened because
when the B.U. applied for a
prospecting licence it was refused.
Mr. Tanner had been asked for
advice. Who was the person who
first suggested the appointment
of a Canadian expert to advise
about Petroleum Regulations? We
shall probably never know. Up
to then the sky had been quite
clear and a_ gentle breeze had
been blowing favourable to the
B.U.;. but. storm clouds now
gathered, Someone had queered
the pitch for the B.U. Who was
it? Even Lord Teviot does not
suggest that persons here were
better off financially after the
above change of weather and I
should hate to think that a well
known American method of pro-
moting business had any place in
Barbados. In fact I do not believe
it.
Was it only that some bright
fellow suggested that it would be
advisable to have a competitor
in the field so that he and the
B.U. could spur each other on
to a speedy investigation of the
oil resources? Did some one think
that the B.U. did not show ade-
quate results for 32 years work
in the Island, and that they
should have sunk a deep well long
ago when the shallow wells prov-
ed inadequate? In this connection
it is fair to remember that the
war period should be written off,
as no materials could then be
obtained.
It is a pity that the B.U.
agents walked out of the meet-
ing so abruptly. Such conduct
achieves nothing, it only antag-
onises. If they had remained to
bargain they would probably have
secured r terms. Let us try
to forget all that and remember
that “in my opinion all that is
“known today about the Oil
“prospects of Barbados has been
“due .to the drilling opera-
“tions of the B.U. and the re-
“searches of its geologistsâ€. [Lep-
per]. ;
If it be possible. at this late
hour to assist the B.U. and con-
cede better terms, let us be glad
to do it:

DEATH INQUIRY:
AGAIN ADJOURNED
Hearing in the inquest into the
death of Helena Mullins, a labour-
er of Sandy Hill, St. Philip, was
further adjourned until to-day by
Mr. C. L. Walwyn, Coroner of
District “A†yesterday.
Helena Mullins died suddenly on
the way to the General Hospital
on April 26 while she was being
transferred there from the
St. Philip Almshouse.
Only medical evidence was taken
vesterd»y and this was given by
Dr. A. S. Cato who performed the
pest mortem examination on the
body of Mullins at the General
Hospital on April 27.
He said that the apparent age of
the woman was about 41 years.
She was identified to him by Wil-
liam Linton and she was dead for
about 18 hours. There was a large
swelling under the scalp but there
were no signs of cerebral haemor-—
rhage. The skull was fractured. In
his opinion death was due to frac-
ture of the skull.
£3 for Faulty Brakes
A District “A†Police Magis-
trate yesterday ordered William
Gittens of Trent District. St.
George, to pay a fine of £3 by
monthly instalments or in default
two months’ imprisonment with
hard labour when he appeared on
a charge of driving a motor lorry
with faulty brakes.
The offence was committed on
March 14 while he was driving
the lorry along Arthur Hill Road.
Set Forde prosecuted for the
Police.
Inspector A. Farnum of High-
ways and Transport, said that he
examined the brakes of the truck
and found that the foot and hand
brakes were not working pros
perly. 2 he
Fined For Overloading
TWO bus conductors were fined
by a City Police Magistrate yes-
terday for overloading their buses.
They were Rupert Doyle of
Roebuck Street, St. Michael and
Darnley Yearwood of Branchbury,
St. Joseph.
Doyle was ordered to pay a
fine of 20/- in 14 days or one
month’s imprisonment and Year-
wood 10/- in seven days» or
seven days’ imprisonment, Doyle
was the conductor of the bus
M—1422 on Harmony Road, St.
Michael, at about 3.55 p.m. on
March 10 when the policeman on
duty stopped the bus and counted
44 passengers.
Yearwood’s bus was carrying 33
passengers when it was stopped.
The Magistrate told both conduc-
tors that the overloading of buses
was becoming very prevalent and
he hoped that it would stop.
COLLISION
Shortly after 10.10 a.m. yes-
terday, the motor lorry, O,145,
owned and driven by Joseph Kell-
man of Church Village, St. Jos-
eph, was involved in an accident
ey Coleridge Street near the Fire
Brigade Station with the bicycle

ney Beckles of Bank Hall, St. Mi-
chael

MR. C. A. GROSSMITH, Administrative Secretary of
Development and Welfare Organisation who is produc -
Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion at the British Council’s
Little Theatre, Wakefield House, has had a great deal of
experience of dramatic work in an unusual variety of ¢ir-
In†an interview at Hastings
House yesterday, he told the
Advocate that though he was not
closely connected with the famous
theatrical family of the Grossmiths,
there was some slight relationship,
and perhaps, enough of their blood
flowed in his veins to account for
the interest in the theatre he had
felt all his life. ° os
He said that he developed a
taste for amateur acting when,
with a few of the officers of his
battalion ef the East Lancashire
Regiment in Mesopotamia at the
end of World War I, they tried to
ease the boredom of the troops
waiting for demobilization with
home made sketches. After that,
he was working in Germany for
some years and took the opportu—
nity to study German literature
and the drama in Berlin.
French, German Plays
On his return to England in 1934
he joined a small private circle of
friends for play readings in French
and German—which *;was great
fun. ' Ss
In the very early thirties, the
Colonial Office started an Amateur
Dramatic Society, and for about
ten years, they put on a series of
plays, gome of which he produced.
The Society produced Comedies of
Shakespeare, plays by Goldsmith
and Sheridan, modern drama and
Grand Guignol thrillers.
‘Phe plays" were performed in
hospitals and working men’s clubs,
winding up with three or four pub-—
lic performances,
Shakespeare played in curtain
sets was alWays well received,
but sometimes there were snaps,
One small club in North London
for instance, when they were
playing the “Taming of the
Shrew,†very kindly gave them
a painted back ‘sheet portraying
the local High Street complete
with an electric tramway system.
They held their breath for a
guffaw from the audience wher
their _small_page. announced: “A
street. scene in Padua.†But it was
allright. —- -
Public Readings
Mr. Grossmith was a founder
member of the Amateur Dramatic
Cirele at the Royal Empire
Society in London. He had been
too busy to do much during the
war, but he had kept his hand
in by taking parts in and helping
to run the public readings at the
Royal Empire Society of such
widely different plays as Shaw's
“Apple Cartâ€, “and Bridie’s
“Tobias and the Angelâ€.
When Mr. Tucker spoke to him
about helping with a performance
for the very little theatre at
Wakefield, he felt honoured and
readily accepted the invitation.
The choice ofa play was not
easy because for a_ variety of
reasons including Mr. Tucker's
early departure on leave to Eng-
land, there was so little time in
which to make a selection and get
underway with rehearsals.
To Speightstown
By Schooner
What about a sail to Speights-
town by schooner? This is the
atest craze of some Canadians
and Venezuelans holidaying here.
The Speightstown schooners are
in Bridgetown at least twice a
week. Around midday they sail
into the Careenage and just after
a few hours at the waterfront; they
are on the way to Speightstown
again. ?
No luxury cabins nor saloons,
just a small wooden deck on
which the pleasure seekers sit,
holding fast occasionally to the
riggings. They get lots of fun out
of the sail. .
They never lose sight of the
§and. The schooners just skirt
the coast and they make the trip
in about an hour and a half to two
hours.
What seems to attract them
most is the beautiful scenery of
the coast. Their eyes are hardly
ever off the coast. They hurl
questions at the sailors who are
always keen to tell them what
they are seeing.
When the weather is good, they
are always “so sorry†because
they have come to the end of the
trip too quickly. They land at
Speightstown pier and motor back
to Bridgetown.
WHEN THE WATER
IS TURNED OFF
THE Chief Engineer of the
Waterworks told the Advocate
esterday, that\the Department
not turned off water from any
seholder ..for. the current
quarter due to non-payment of
rates.
He said that. water rates should
be paid in advance during the
first tensdays of the quarter.
Reminder notices are put in the
newspapers about the end of the
second month and during the last
quarter, 2,000 personal reminder
notices were issued in the third
month.
It is only after this has been
done and the rates not paid that
the Department send out repre-
sentatives to shut off the water.
The Waterworks Department had
no wish to cause inconvenience
to people, but water rates must
be paid. :
If a new tenant fails to notify
the Waterworks of his tenancy,
naturally, the Department would
have no knowledge of his occupa-
tion of the building and water
would not. be available until
turned in by request.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
MR. MAYCOCK introduced
a petition from the Council
of the General Agricultural
Society, which he moved
might be read. Mr. E. Packer
seconded the motion, and the
petition was read.
The petitioners allege that
the agricultural interests of
these colonies pre already
sufficiently depressed by the
unequal competition with the
Slave colonies to which they
are now exposed, and that
there is every likelihood of
further injury being done
them through the alleged
privileges if the patentees of
the princivle of applying
centrifugal force,to the curing
of sugar—which privileges
they claim to exercise only
in the free British Colonies.
Under these circumstances
and with a view to avert the
evils apprehended —, the
petitioners pray that the
House take steps for recurring
to this colony the privilege of
importing machines of foreign
invention and manufacture.

YAMS SELL
SLOWLY,
Land owners who have planted
yams are finding difficulty in get-
iing them sold, the Director of
Agriculture, Mr. C. C. Skeete,
told the Advocate yesterday.
Housewives do not seem very
keen on ineluding much yam in
their food and so _ vegetable
dealers are not buying many.
The Director said that if the
yams remain in the ground too
long they will sprout again.

Canadians Unhappy
Over Trade Balarice |
With B.W.I. |
MONTREAL, May 2.
Canadian exporters are un-
happy about the unfavourable
trade balance between Canada
and the British West Indies, J. C
McDerby, Manager of the Cana-
dian Exporters’ Association told
the Montreal Service Club.
Restrictions by the United King-
dom were responsible for this un-
favourable picture, he said. Last
year’s imports from the West
Indies exceeded by $37,000,000
the value of goods sold in the
colonies by Canadian exporters,
He added: British West
Indies come under the United
Kingdom’s sphere of influence
and efforts to create a favourable
trade atmosphere with thé islands
— not been too well rewarded,â€

reason for the ban by the South\
African cricket authorities has not
been explained to the team yet,
but Nourse, whose wife came with
him on the 1947 tour, says that it
had nothing to do with any hap-
penings that year.
Been Before
Other members who were here
with the 1947 team-are ‘Fullerton,
Mann and Athol Rowan. The only
other player to have toured Eng-
land in Athol’s elder brother, Eric,
who is vice-Captain of the team
and was a member of the 1935
South African touring party.
Fifteen. players have - been
brought here altogether and
Nourse’ has ventured to suggest
that with a fair share of luck the
side will acquit themselves well.
In the event of any members of
the team falling sick, arrange-
ments have already been made to
fly over one or two young players
from the Union,
The tourists commence their
official programme with the time-
honoured match with Worcester-
shire at Worcester on May 2nd.
They will be opposed to probably
the same team as that which drew
with the West Indies. It is to be
supposed that the selected South
African XI will be the strongest
ithey can put into the fleld and
the most likely to be picked for
the first Test.
Nourse himself is expected to
captain the side and both Rowans
and Mann and Fullerton are
expected to be included. Another
member of the team with personal
experience of this country, Clive
Van Rynveld, the former Oxford
cricket ‘blue’ and England rugby
international, will make a_ bold
challenge for selection, and _ his
leg-breaks, magnificent fielding
and forceful batting are .almost
certain to earn him a place.
Backbone
Nourse, Eric Rowan and Fuller-
ton will provide the backbone of
the batting which, weakened by
the absence this year of Bruce
Mitchell, appears on paper to be
the tourists’ weak point.
Athol Rowan and ‘Tufty’ Mann
will form the chief menace on a
turning wicket and~ the former
with his accurate off-spinners ane
the latter “with his immaculate
left-hand slows can, and do, keep
going all day if necessary,
These six are expected to select
themselves. This leaves five places
still to be filled. Requirements
are a couple of fast bowlers. 1
wicket-keeper and, presumably.
two more batsmen. Candidates
for these places aré McCarthy,
Chubb, Endean, McGlew, McLean,
Cheetham, Waite and Mansell.
The choice of wicket-keeper
lies between Endean and Waite
both of whom are opening bats-
men of some repute. Endean, by
virtue of his greater powers of
concentration, may just get the
vote. The opening attack will
come from McCarthy, said to be
the fastest bowler in the Union
for 30 years, Melle and Chubb
The former are both youngsters
but Chubb is 39 years of age and
ranks with Nourse and Eric
Rowan as a veteran of the side.
Even so, it is probable that his
great accuracy and ability to keep
going, very much in the manner
of an Alec Bédser, will earn him
a place with McCarthy at the
other end.
Not Easy
Filling the last two places is
not going to be easy. Jack Cheet-
ham, who was considered for the
captaincy before it became known
that Nourse would be available,
is likely to be one of the two, He
played against England in South
Africa two years ago and against
Australia twelve months later
He is a strong forcing batsman
and, in a most successful season
just completed, he headed the
Camps to a private meeting
of doctors, scientists, and barris-
ters, who reconstructed the Setty
case after the trial.
Dr, Keith Simpson, Home Office
pathologist, told the meeting that
he was perturbed that the prose+
cution did not produce the scien-
tifle evidence of Setty’s drunken
enough alcohol had
been discovered to give a perfect.
ly good and acceptable explana-
tion to the opinions of both sides,
it was difficult to understand why
such evidence was not produced,â€
he said.
Hume admitted dropping
Setty’s torso into the sea from an
aeroplane, and pleaded guilty o
being an accessory after the fact.
He was sentenced to 12 years’
imprisonment,
“Who killed Setty and the cir-
cumstances in which it occurred
must remain a matter for specula-
tion.†Dr. Camps told the meet.
ing.
The additional evidence would
only have shown how those re-
sponsible for the murder were
able to do it without causing a
struggle,

states that sales showed a reduc-

well as export countries and is
largely attributable to the fact that

reasonably encouraging, The com
pany has budgeted for the same
volume in 1951 as in 1950 feeling
that any loss in civilian businese
might be made up in defense

British Miss 70 >| 3
LONDON.
The modern British miss—girls
born in 1951 — can expect to live
until 70 years of age or over,
But if they marry British boys
born this year, they are likely to
be widowed, for the life expecta-
tion of boys is only 66 years,
Authority for this forecast is
the British Registrar General's
report for 1950, which said thai
the exact age which the average
girl can expect to reach is 70.63
years, and for the average boy
66. or years.
The report estimated that the:
total population of England and |
Wales in 1950 was 44,137,000 and
added that this figure should in-
crease to 46,608,000 by 1990.

Open wide the doorway for discus-
sion with their selection of the

Such a pattern has been follow-
ed by the Editor of the Playfair

Indies touring team and two from
the Lancashire side which shared
the Clampionship. His selected
XI is Ramadhin, Valentine, Wor-

(Sussex and Cambridge).
It is a strong combination but,
surprisingly enough, contains not
ene bowler of pace. One cannot
help. wondering whether perhaps
this is not unfair to Alee Bedser,
who apart from his efforts in Aus-
tralia, which tour is not taken into
account in the selection of eleven
cricketers of 1950, was England’s
top wicket-taker against the West
Indies.
And I feel equally certain that
there are many West Indians who
feel that Alan Rae is worthy of a
place, possibly even at the expense
of one of his four chosen col-
leagues. But if Rae cannot claim
a place in the selected XI, at least
he is given his fair share of the
credit in the section devoted to
the review of the tour.
“No West Indies player made :
greater contribution to the win-
ning of the Rubber than Rae†says
the review. “His worth to the side
really cannot be over-emphasised.
With his most equable tempera-
ment and utterly unvelfish spirit,
he saw what his role should be
and played it to the hilt.â€
The review concludes ‘“Rae’s
knowledge of the game and his
balanced judgement must mark
him out as a potential West Indies
eaptain,â€

Crowds flocked to see Wint ahd
Bailey running in Accra and
Lagos and there can be no doubt
that the newly awakened interest
in athletics in West Africa was
considerably stimulated by their
visit. Already there has been
iaik of entering Nigeria in the
1952 Helsinki Olympies and it is
possible that the visit of these two
notable athletes will result in
definite action along these lines
being taken.
Arthur Wint was only able to
remain in West Africa for one
week, because of his studies, but
McDonald Bailey remained for a
further seven days during which
he lectured to schools and youth
clubs.
A Question
One question which he repeat-
ediy had to answer was why
Arthur Wint had only†managed
to run the 440 yards in 50 seconds
during his second race in the
celony. The answer, which Mac
duly gave, was that Arthur felt
a slight muscular twinge and,
not wanting to aggravate a
former trouble, he decided not to
go flat out. Even so he was well
ahead of the rest of the field when
he broke the winning tape.
In both his 100 yards events
Bailey returned 9.9 seconds. This,
onsidering it was his first outing
of the season, was a particularly
good performance and augurs
well for his chances of retaining
his A.A.A. Championships later
this year,
Mac himself was very pleased
with his performance but con-
fesses he had a bad scare in his
second race when he failed to
make a good start and found him-
self three yards behind the local
fayourite with only forty yards to
eo. Only a sensational finishing
burst enabled him to break the
tape first.
“I just had to win that race
or what would the local crowd
have thought!†he added.

POLL DILL DDD Ot
GOLF IN
1951
By PETER DITTON
Britain’s Amateur Golf is again
to be put to the Test on May llth
and 12th, That is when the Am-
erican challenge for the third
post-war Walker Cup competition
will be made at Birkdale.
Since the war, with the excep-
tion of R. J. White, Britain has
not produced any golfers capable
of holding their own with the
Yong-hitting accurate-putting Am-
ericans, From Ireland the assist-
ance of Sam McCready, Jimmy
Bruen and Joe Carr has been re-
cruited. These players have cer-
tainly put a little extra “back-
bone†into the British team, But
generally speaking the Americans
have reigned supreme.
Many excusés have begn put
forward to account for e su-
periority of the Americans —
which dates back to pre-war
days. The most widely offered in
recent years has been that British
golfers have not had_ sufficient
practice. But while that might
have held good in 1947 and even
1949 it cannot be applied any
longer. It is perfectly true that
because of geographical conditions
the Americans didn’t lose as much
“golfingtime†as we did during
the war but we have had six years
since in Which to put matters to
right.
Explanation
I think probably the most sat-
isfactory explanation of Ameri-
ca’s- golfing superiority and cer-
tainly the most realistic is that
offered by former Walker Cup
player L, G, Crawley who is now
one of the Walker Cup Selectors.
Writing in the new Playfair Golf
Annual for 1951 (Playfair Books
Ltd., 57 Haymarket, London
S.W.1., price 5s) he deals at length
with this particular subject.
He points out that for one thing
there are far more golfers in
America than in this country, He
likens America to the young
brother which has grown up into
a Colossus from the small and
frail infant to whom the game
was taught. As one example he
quotes the entry figures for the
English Amateur Championship
which are normally between 200
and 250 and likens them to those
for the American amateur which
range from upwards of twelve
hundred.
Says Crawley: “I believe that
in years to come, as in the past,
we shall be compelled to bow to
the superiority of American golf-
ers and more often perhaps to
American teams than American
individuals. From time to time we
. shall win a Walker, a Ryder or a
Curtis Cup and occasionally we
shall be thrilled and proud of
another Cotten, another Tolley or
cnother Miss Wethered. But, over
the years, the weight of numbers
alone must ensure American su-
premacy.â€
Wisdom
However unpalatable this may
be to Britain’s golf enthusiasts,
it has to be recognised as contain-
ing a wealth of wisdom,
And equally wisely does Craw-
Jey deal with the question of pro-
fessional golf in this country. He
says that the war began as one
generation of professionals began
to decline and that for six years
there were no new recruits. Since
the war times nave changed and
the ordinary professional golfer
cannot afford to pay his assistant
more than a bare living wage. And
apart from these few profession-
als who are among the big prize
money winners, life is not as at-
tractive as it was for those who
must earn their living trom the
game,
“Promoters of tournaments are
now putting up the enormous sum
of some £25,000 a year, the bulk
of which is going into the hands
of very few†says Crawley. “We
may well ask the question, How
much do professional tournaments
benefit the game? We may well
ask another: Is it a sign of the
times that one , well-established
tournament has been abandoned
for 1951, and will other promotets
follow suit?
Review
The Playfair Golf Annual with
its review of the major Golf
events of 1950 both in this coun-
try and America, together witN
records of previous years, is 4
book no real enthusiast can afford
to ignore. Apart from the review
by L. G. Crayley, it contains an
article by Henry Longhurst and
e contribution from Sir Guy
Campbell, for which alone it is
worth obtaining.
Sir Guy, one of the most famous
of all golf architects has “laid
out†the best ever course compil-
ed from famous holes in various
parts of the country. Each hole
is in its proper place in regard
to its home course and each is
arranged so that there is no more
than the normal amount of walk-
ing from green to tee box. He
has taken six holes from St. An-
drews (Old Course), three from
Heylake, three from Royal St.
George’s (Sandwich), and one
each from Portmarnock, Muirfield,
Deal, Prestwick, Westward Ho
and Carnoustie, A “walk†around
such a course is an entertainment
in itself.
