President Returning
After Seeing Cornell
Beaten by Navy Crew
By Joseph A. Fox
President Truman was heading
back to the Capital today after lay
ing a long-standing jinx at the
Naval Academy.
In the last two years, Mr. Tru
man has watched Middie football
teams bow to Penn State and Army.
Yesterday, he saw Navy oarsmen
blank Cornell in the Severn, then
came ashore and watched a fine
Navy baseball team, coached by Max
Bishop, the old Athletic second base
man, rout Army to make up for
previous reverses.
At the end of the day, the Presi
dent said he had a good time.
He Takes Pictures.
In the interim, Mr. Truman took
a lot of pictures with a camera
given him by the White House Pho
tograph Association, when he at
tended their annual dinner in the
spring.
“What’s your exposure, Mr. Presi
dent?” asked the photographers.'
“Oh. I don't know,” the President
replied, shrugging. But, demon
strating his photographic enthusi
asm if not skill, he w’ent merrily on.
Travelling in the Presidential
Yacht Williamsburg, the President
arrived at Annapolis early yesterday;
morning. The Williamsburg an-;
chored off the Naval Academy, and
at, 8 o'clock the President’s presence!
was noted formally with a 21-gun
salute.
Lane Greets President.
Greeted a little later by Secretary
of the Navy Sullivan, Admiral Louis
E. Denfeld, Chief of Naval Opera
tions, and Rear Admiral James L.
Holloway, jr.. academy superintend
ent, the President left the Williams
burg in a small boat, and for the
next couple of hours watched four
Navy crews battle it out with Cor
nell oarsmen. When the Cornell
varsity was beaten, it was the first
time this year that the Cayuga
oarsmen had lost.
After lunch on the Williamsburg,
the President came ashore where
Gov. Lane of Maryland met him.
Gov. Lane was with the President
throughout the ball game which was
launched formally when Mr. Tru
man threw out two “first balls"—;
one with the left hand and the
other with the right.
Mr. Truman boarded the Williams- !
burg for the return to Washington j
shortly after 6 o'clock. He planned
to be here in time for the memorial
exercises today in Arlington.

Senate Unit Votes Disposal
Of Housing for Veterans
A Senate Banking subcommittee
yesterday decided to recommend
Senate acceptance of a House bill
permitting the Government to dis
pose of some of its temporary hous
ing.
The bill would affect only dwell
ing units which the Government
provided for student veterans on
lands owned or controlled by edu
cational institutions. Some 129,300
units would be subject to disposal to
the colleges.
The subcommittee sidetracked for
this session a more comprehensive
Senate bill providing for the disposi
tion of all Government-controlled
temporary housing. Chairman Cain,
Republican of Washington, said he
did not think there was enough
time left.
Raymond M. Foley, Housing and
Home Finance Administrator, said
he favored getting the Government
out of the operation of temporary
housing at the earliest possible
date.

of the contention of Soviet Scien
tist Tikhov, the News quoted the

plant life on Mars, since withouti

tent would be much higher.
