Commission Asks
Creation Of
“Overseas Agency”
i -
(By Sterling F. Green)
WASHING TON, (/P) — The
Hoover commission today asked
Congress to consider creating a
new “administration of overseas
affairs” to manage territories, oc
cupied areas and the Marshall
Plan.
i The report, next to last in the
commission’s series of 18 on gov
ernment reorganization, made no
flat recommendation for laws to
cure what it called the present
“confusion, inconsistencies and
uncertainty” in the handling of
overseas responsibilities.
But it declared that, of three
likely solutions, such an independ
ent agency holds the “greatest
possibilities” of ending confusion
and “serious friction” among the
offices now sharing the job—the!
army, navy, state and interior de
partments and four independent j
agencies.
i
Former President Herbert
Hoover, chairman of the 12-mem
ber, bi-partisan commission, went
further. He declared the agency
should be set up immediately.
Two other members shared his
view—James K. Pollock, political
scientist, and George H. Mead,
Ohio industrialist.
If Congress adopts the sugges
tion, the new administration
would take over, among other
things:
The self-governing territories of
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands, from the inte
rior department.

j Long Shot Wins
i Grand National
At Aintree, Eng.
AINTREE, Eng. (/P) — Russian
Hero, a 66 to I choice in the bet
ting, won the 103rd Grand Nation
al steeplechase classic Saturday as
the favored Cromwell finished
fourth. '
Lord Bicester’s Roimond was
second. Mrs. May Harvey’s Royal
Mount, was third in the field of
43 starters in this greatest of all
steeplechase races.
Russian Hero, a nine-year-old
bay gelding owned by W. F. Wil
liamson. woo by eight lengths.
Roimond was a 22 to 1 shot, and
Royal Mount at 18 to 1.
Cromwell’s defeat was a blow to
many thousands of bettors
throughout England. He lost to a
horse whose trainer thought so
little of his chances that he had
debated keeping him out of the
race.
Trainer George R. Owen had
told the owner the horse had poor
prospects, but Williamson insisted
on letting him start.
The London Daily Worker, the
British communist party’s official
paper, selected the nine-year-old
gelding to win the race.
Caddie II, one of two American
horses in the race, fell, just as he
did last year. Caddie II is owned
by Paul Mellon, Pittsburgh and
Washington financier.
Cromwell, third last year in the
four and one-half mile classic over
30 of the world’s stiffest obstacles,
had closed at 7 to 1. In the final
callover at the Victoria Club Fri
day night, Lord Mildmay’s horse
had been quoted at 6 to 1. His odds
fell 10 minutes before post time
because many bettors in the es
timated crowd of 300,000 persons
were favoring Happy Home and
Cavaliero.
