The net result across a century and a half was to help win wars and to Influence . the nations of the world. . West Point, In 1802, was nothing more than a small engineering school. At first only one course was . offered and that provided lessons on how to build fortifica tions.

In fact during the -first 10 years there were only 71 graduates. me first or these was one Joseph G. Swift, who grew up to be a colonel. According to old records in the Library of Congress, Swift attained some measure of distinction by standing up and sassing Congress. He told the lawgivers he thought they were silly to kick in millions of dollars for coastal fortifications when the money ought to be "put to work building up a mobile Army." Congress, during the War of 1812, woke up to the fact that West Point might amount to some thing in the national military picture. It authorized an increase in the size of the academy to a point where it could accommodate 250 cadets. The first cadets were accented without worry over age limits, They took no entrance exams, and had to meet no physical qualiflca. lions, and they were not even subject to the Articles of War. Today, a man can be turned down if he has a skin rash on his elbow. One of the most famous among the commanders at the "Point" was the fifth. He was Capt. Syl- vanus Thayer. It was he who first placed an emphasis on character building, leadership, and discipline. some oi nis ideas still are on the books at the academy. While he headed up the staff. and shortly after he left, there appeared a number of raw re cruits who went ahead to become famous. Among them were fellows by name of Lee, Grant, Jackson, Meade, McClellan, Longstreet, Sheridan, and Sherman. , Later came men like - Mac- Arthur, Eisenhower, Bradley, and many another. On three occasions the academy nearly had to shut down because of a lack of funds.- Once a super intendent borrowed J65.000 from a friend to keep the place going. McGranery Gets Senate Approval; Silent on Plans . WASHINGTON, May 21 (IP) James P. McGranery, confirmed as attorney general by a 52 to 18 Senate vote, waited for a strat egy talk with President Truman before announcing his plans to combat corruption in the govern ment. The 56-vear-old Philadelphia federal judge, who was nominated seven weeks ago to succeed J. Howard McGrath as head of the Justice Department, told report ers he would have "absolutely nothing to say" about reviving tne long-staiicd cleanup drive un til he checks signals with Mr. Truman. - , McGrath was fired by Mr. Tru man for ousting Newbold Morris as the government 8 head cor ruption hunter. McGranery said previously that he had no inten tion of rehiring Morris but will lean primarily on FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover to ferret out "wrongdoers" on the federal pay roll. McGranery Is expected to take his oath of office later this week, perhaps at a White House cere mony. He gave up a litetime job on the bench to accept the cab inet post, although President Tru- mans -administration now has less than seven months to go. Senate approval of his appoint ment came late Tuesday after six hours of debate in which McGran ery was criticized by Sens. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.) and Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah). The 18 votes against McGran ery , were all from Republicans. Fourteen Republicans joined with 38 Democrats in voting for him.

I'ortli Porter, Manaeer, By PATRICIA WIGGINS WASHINGTON, May 21 (IB Agri culture Department food experts advised housewives Wednesday to plan potato-less meals around such nutritious substitutes as rice, baked beans, spaghetti or that old South ern standby, hominy. They said all. these foods are plentiful, Inexpensive, easy to pre pare and healthful. - ! The experts don't feel that sweej potatoes offer much consolation to jPinohcd .pocketbooks these days. Lost-fall's cijop was not large, and cutcnt sweet .potato prices ' are high with remaining supplies of poor quality. ; Agriculture Department officials see no hope for relieving the present "potato famine" until the new crop starts coming into the markets next month. Even then, there's no guarantee that potatoes will be cheap or plentiful. Farmers simply haven t been planting many potatoes - since the government dropped price supports on them last year. Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall, who has scores of agents at work across the country trying to break up A flourishing black market in pota toes, appealed to housewives earlier this week to cooperate by giving spuds the go-by until they are of fered above the counter at ceiling prices. , The food experts said housewives will find it easier to comply with Arnall's request than they may suppose. Spaghetti, macaroni and noodles all made from wheat are high on all lists of potato substitutes be cause they are already familiar to the cook and her clientele in near ly every American home. Rice, which many families have discovered" since the potato shortage began, is also highly re garded by the professional menu planners. They conceded that some habit ridden husbands may go right on demanding plain potatoes with their meat. But there's a remedy for that too send him out to find, and pay for, a few pounds of spuds.
