NIGHTBALL LEAGUE
PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

The jam around second place in
the Pacific Coast league race was
crowded today, entirely too crowded,
in fact. for the comfort of the Seat
tie Indians, present holders of the
place.
Hollywood was only two games be
low the Indians. The San Francis
CO Seals were only one game behind
Hollywood, and the Mission Reds
were pressing the Seals closely, with
the margin separating them only
one-half game.
The crowding became more acute
as the result of yesterdays contests
in which the Seals and the Reds
won their games. while Seattle and
Hollywood were idle because Of rain
aey play two todey.
The Seals triumphed in an lin
ming struggle with Oakland by 6-5
score.
The Mission Reds defeated Port
land, 9-5. in a free hitting contest.
Sacramento won its first game OF
the week from Les Angeles, scoring
a 6-5 victory over the league lead
ers.

Milk Shortage
In Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8. (U.P)-A
shortage of milk for school child
rem was feared today after milk
distribution locally had been sharp
ly curtailed as a result of hot
weather and drought conditions
Major companies slashed route
quotas and turned hundreds of con-
sumers away from their plants.
Increased consumption due to hot
weather and higher prices of foods
caused by the midwestern drought
were blamed.
Because milk is the most import
ant item on the school lunchroom
menus, officials were disturbed over
prospects of shortage for the pur-
pose. With the opening of school
next week, a consumption will be
increased by $4,000 quarts daily. it

 They did something like that in England, and you're always talking about England and how they're recovering without social ism. Nobody knows just what kind or plan is going to be proposed. but you know the president has suggested that ours be a purely in- surance affair on a sound business basis, to benefit only those who have paid in their share of. h e Iunds. He wants to keep relief sep arate. A committee is studying all forms of such plans, for him now" t This committee oh economic se. curity, made up of cabinet mem- bers and others of the presidents helpers, has been working on this since last spring, when the presi- dent promised such a plan would be given to congress this winter.
 Recently to the cabinet, advisers were added. 19 experts from ir1dus- try, laDor, medical, and social well fare groups. They have the ad- vantage of being able to study such plans in Europe, giving them some idea Of what will work and what won't, what is good and what bad.
 They have just started a series of long discussions of unemploy- ment insurance, child welfare laws, old age pensions, and government medical aid. On each of these they are expected, to give congress a definite plan to act. NEW LAWS ASSURED <
 With an overwhelmingly demo- cratic congress, spurred by a presi- dent who has promised such laws, it is hard to see how some of these plans can fail to become law this winter.
