U. Of W. Football
Coach Resigns
SEATTLE, </P) — Michigan’s
Fritz Crisler? Navy’s Tom Hamil
ton? Bernie Bierman? Or San
Francisco’s Ed McKeever?
Any of them or none of them—
all their names were tossed about
today with numerous others as
conjecture ran rife among Uni
versity of Washington alumni and
downtown quarterbacks following
the sudden but “not unexpected”
resignation of Ralph <Pest> Welch
after 13 years service as Husky
frosh and varsity grid coach.
The former Purdue fullback’s
decision was disclosed officially
Saturday night by Harvey Cassill,
director of athletics. Cassill saih
the action was “not entirely unex
pected,” and that his successor,
not yet named, would “be on the
campus in time to conduct spring
football practice.”
President Ends
t
Florida Vacation
_
(By Ernest 3. Vaccaro)
KEY WEST, Fla. </P> — Presi
dent Truman ended a five-day
Florida vacation today and depart
ed at 10:30 a.m. for Washington
aboard his official plane to com
plete a message to Congress on
plans for long-range European re
covery.
Refreshed and suntanned by
five days of relaxation at his “lit
tle White House” here, Mr. Tru
man appeared in excellent physi
cal condition. He had shaken off
the weariness displayed upon his
arrival last Wednesday.
He swam in the warm waters of
the Gulf of Mexico, sunbathed on
the beach, and even drove an auto
mobile at a rapid clip from Ever
glades City to Naples, Fla., after
a speech dedicating the Everglades
National Park.

Truman Calls For
Constant Vigilance
In Development

tional park. Krug introduced the
President. Senators Pepper and
Holland of Florida shared the
speakers’ stand.
Without mentioning names, the [
chief executive declared:
“Public lands and parks, our
forests and our mineral reserves,
are subject to many destructive
influences. We have to remain
constantly vigilant to prevent
raids by those who would selfishly
exploit our common heritage for
their private gain. Such raids on
our national resources are not ex-1
amples of enterprise and initia
tive. They are attempts to take
from all the people for the benefit
of the few.”
For the most part, the President1
devoted his speech to a statement
of his advocacy of the develop
ment of hydro-electric power and
other energy resources along with
parks, playgrounds and soil re
sources.
He condemned wasting of m:n-1
erals by careless mining, the wast- j
age of forests by careless lumber
ing, and the wasting of water
“through failure to build hydro
electric plants,” and the wasting of
soil through erosion.
The President said he was com
forted by the knowledge that “as
always in the past, when the peo
ple’s property has been threatened,
men and women whose primary
concern has been their country's
welfare” have risen to oppose
‘‘selfish attacks.”

Britons Will Have
To Disappear Says
Churchill
MANCHESTER, Eng. </P)_Win
slon Churchill said Saturday that
socialism will mean that 12,000,000
Britons “will have to disappear in
one way or another.”
The former prime minister, ad
dressing 14,000 persons at a rally
of the Conservative party he leads,
pictured Britain as “in peril to a
degree which I have hardly ever
known before.” He said:
“I am quite sure that socialism
—that is to say, the substitution of
state control by officials instead of
by private enterprise—will make
it impossible for 48,000.000 people
to live in this island, and that at
least one-quarter of all who are
alive today will have to disappear
in one way or another after en
