Forester Edgar M. Sanborn. From his offices on the 11th floor of the City Hall you get an observation pilot's view of 4nA hifl st Ho iiic via. ma ii iaii uu lwviiviuj the City Plaza, where tne Bermuda grass has dug itself in with roots as tough as a hangman's rope. Bermuda grasa is highly thought of in Hindustan, where it is known as "doob and is considered lirst rate nasture.

'Am tat as Oakland is con cerned Hindustan is welcome to all the Bermuda grass there is until uch time as Your Town finds it advisable to turn a couple of sacred cows loose In the sacrosanct pre cincts of the Plaza. Capriola dactylon is the polite name for this pest, but not even the cold, objective eye ol science can look upon it with anything ap proaching equanimity, let alone politeness. The Bermudans themselves have the appropriate name for it They call It devil grass. With this in mind you will know where to con sign it next time you notice those unsightly brown spots in the City Plaza. Tulips from Holland bulbs are be-ruining to bloom in the City Plaza.

They are bringing back a touch of pre-war clays. In about another week they will be a mass of color- yellow and red in combination.

Warning: An ancient dilapidated jaloppy wobbled up in front of a local waffle jhop, gasping like a horse with the heaves, and accompanying its wheezes with mechanical rattles no horse could have achieved, whatever his condition.

The ancient heap came to a trembling halt and the sailor at the wheel took a large square of cardboard from the back seat, fished a pencil a i I 4.11 irom nil pocaei, una icu 10 won lettering a sign. When he had finished he held his work out at arm's length and looked it over critically.

Then he got out of the car, closed the door as carefully as if it were made ef porcelain, and strode briskly up the street Several persons stopped to read the sign. It was a note of wanting, and it read as follows: "Please do not try to move me.

I have a busted axle and if you move me my whole" rear end will collapse. Owner will be back ai soon as possible." Time It Limp and Hop But Never Stops. Qnercull: When the going was tough in the Pacific, Eugene Elerd-lng, Berkeley attorney, was first operations officer in command of Yon Tan Air Base, Naval Air Base on OkinawaAmong the old friend he looked up on his return to the States was Don J. Boucher, president of the Querculi Club of Oakland. He told Don that N.A.T.

brought in The Tribune and other Pacific Coast papers as well as Honolulu papers, every couple of days, and that the landing of the plane was always an occasion for rejoicing. One incident which stands out in his memory with especial distinctness was the delivery of copies of the Oakland Tribune for Sunday; June 1, and Wednesday. June of last year. The Oldtimer's Page in the Sunday Magazine was devoted to pictures of the Quercurt Club. The Tribune for the following Wednesday carried a story on the club's 34th anniversary, with a picture of Boucher, who was secretary-treasurer at the time, Charlea Kohlmeyer, who was club president, and Estella P.

I CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, U.S.

Reticence Savant Urges Frank Scientific Exchange Of Facts With Russia Lack of frankness on the part of the United States is to blame for the present controversy wlthltussia. according to Dr. Irving Langmuir, associate director of the General Electric Laboratories and Nobel prize-winning chemist. He asserted that "we should lay our cards on the table" and basic scientific information, and knowl edge should be frankly exchanged between the two countries. Dr.

Langmuir, who attended the 220th anniversary of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. at the invitation of the Russians in June 1945, made his statements yesterday In a press conference at the Clare-mont Hotel. He will begin the Hitchcock series of lectures at the University of California on April 1. lasting through April 12. DISTASTEFUL TO REDS Dr.

Langmuir also declared that the efforts of the United States to install a government patterned after a democracy in Bulgaria is just as distasteful to the Russians as their attempts to Install their type of government in Mejrtto would be to us. "We take for granted our country and our type of Government is best." he said, "but we have -many ideals that are unworkable. Russia is the same way. There should be more of a give and take proposition with both of the countries. Dr.

Langmuir added that unless "we make some effort in the next two years to do something construe ttve about world peace," then the eventual atomic war will lead to "disaster." SAPID ADVANCEMENT The noted scientist said he be lieved that Russia had not advanced too far in the field of nuclear physics but Was "advancing rapidly' because of their "intense enthusi asm" for science. As an example. Dr. Langmuir said the Russians were building a 40-ton cyclotron for nuclear physics experimentation last year where the University of California had a 5000-ton cyclotron before the war. He believed this a good indication of the advancement made by the Rus sians in the field of atomic research.

He said the Russians had experi mented in the field of cosmic raysJ and radio-activity but "were too busy fighting the Germans' to push much experimentation on the atom bomb, but believed they would have the bomb in two to three years. In this regard. Dr. Langmuir as serted that knowledge of natural Dhysics and the existence of certain elements and conditions cannot be suppressed without "stopping prog ress. "Something like Day or some military secret can be suppressed because it is contained in a person's head but where the elements or conditions are existent in nature and their eventual discovery is but a matter of time, suppression of this knowledge by one government would only stop our own progress.

the scientist said. Dr. Langmuir said his visit to Russia and with the Russian scientists waa. an "extraordinary gesture of goodwill and co-operation." INCENTIVE 8TSTEM He said the Russian scientists were not aavancea oeyona me American scientists except in "sin gular problems." He added that there are certain outstanding traits in the Russian scientists "that make me wonder" if they are not going ahead very rapidly. The traits, he said, were their "intense enthusiasm and optimism." The reason ror these Is the incen tive system, which operates on the basis of "serve according to abilities and reward according to service.

He said the Russian scientists were rewarded with scarce items and commodities for their efforts. Dr. Langmuir explained that the Russians work on a piecework and M.nMMMMwk Ham. whiVh i1T.vv.". thev are rewarded accordingly, ana they never work on a flat rate basis "which unions in this country seem to demand."

Ogden dismissed the complaint of ...1. I rraiiK nine, nmnui v-" club proprietor, for recovery $2750.

Rose, who allegedly lent the money to Nelson in a 36-hour poker session, was awarded the money by a Jury in the court of Judge Leon E. Gray. Subsequently, however, Judge Gray granted Nelson a new trial on the ground that he had admitted inadmissible evidence. Following Judge Ogden's action, Edward R. Craig.

Rose's attorneys, announced that he would take the matter to either the appellate or State Supreme Court He said he would appeal from Judge Ogden's dismissing action and Judge Gray's granting of a new trial on the basis that Rose lent Nelson the money to do with is he saw fit. Nelson, once the manager of the Orinda Golf and Country Club, maintained that the debt was in- valid because it was incurred throuEh gambling. A jury took only 17 minutes to return a verdict that Rose was to collect the total plus $240.50 in interest after hearing testimony that reported single pots in the game ran as high as $1000. Jury Fails to Agree jn Hit-Run Case A Jury hearing the case of Floyd Scott, 25, Army veteran charged with hit and run driving, was dis missed late yesterday by Superior Judge Edward Tyrrell after members revealed that they could reach no agreement.

Ex-Military Intelligence Aide Scouts Civilian Defense Heads' Story Vehement official denial today was given the assertion of a former hofficial of the Office of Civilian De fense that "from 12 to IS Japanese soldiers' landed on the Marin County coast in November, 1943. The headquarters of 4he Sixth Army, at Presidio San Francisco, today said flatly that "no hostile Japanese forces ever landed on the west coast 01 tne united states. This categorically repudiated the report of Kenneth Hammaker, for. mer Western States director of the Office of Civilian Defense, that the Japs came ashore from a submarine. REFERS TO MANEUVERS The Army said it was probable Hammaker was referring to maneu vers in which American troops had been dressed as raiders.

From other sources came the same theory. Col William Hammond of Salem. Oregon, who served as head of mil itary intelligence for the Western Defense Command, predecessor to the Sixth Army, termed the Ham maker report "absolutely untrue." "There; were no military landings' by the enemy on this coast during the war," Col. Hammond said. DENIAL SUPPORTED This statement was supported by a former civilian official whose re sponsibility it would have been to have handled any such Japs had they been landed.

This official characterized the Hammaker story as another of the rumors which gained credence and authority as it was repeated. Hammaker told the Young Demo-crats of San Joaquin County at a dinner in Stockton last night that the Japs apparently landed from a submarine on a scouting expedition, but encountered a Western Defense Command unit on maneuvers in Marin County." The Army group surrounded the enemy soldiers as they stepped ashore at midnight, and took the entire party prisoner without firing a shot, Hammaker said. STICKS TO STORY Hammaker stuck to his story to day adding that he had expected "the Army would deny it" In its official statement the Sixth Army said "it is probable that Ken neth Hammacker. was referring to maneuvers held by the former Western Defense Company in which American troops dressed as raiders simulated landings in the coastal areas and attempted to evade the defending troops in an effort to reach and destroy vital installations in the coastal cities. "Local police forces and civilian defense personnel often co-operated in this manner and all movements of 1 both attackers and defenders were carried out under completely realistic conditions.

"Short wave listeners quite possibly picked -up many radio messages transmitted by defenders depicting the movements of the raiders," the Army statement concluded. Slight- Increase In Tax Delinquencies Tax delinquencies in Alameda County increased slightly in the fiscal year which ended June SO. 1943, according to the Alameda County Taxpayers Association. Out of a total of $30,094,388, a sum of $213,397 or 1.08 per cent is delinquent compared to .888 per cent for the previous" year. Oakland delinquencies amounted to Berkeley to $9878 and Alameda, $4048, according to James H.
