Vets Suggestion

Prominent local veterans Sug-
gest that regional offices Of Veter-
ans Administration be abolished,
and that all veterans cases be
handled direct through the Wash
ington office by the veteran him
self or the representative Of the
veterans organization to which he
belongs -. The reason Is that, or
so it is claimed, managers Of the
various regional offices hold UP
claims for so long a period that
hundreds Of veterans flock to
Washington to personally fight
their battle and thus add much to
the grief of local officials particu-
larly as most Of these veterans are
broke.

Behind 1t all

Henry c. Link, New York psy'
chologist, writes an interesting
thought in current magazine:
Millions of people on relief and
on WPA work are sitting around
cultivating fears. We may yet
have to put one-half our popula-
tion into CCC camps in order to
cure the fears which trouble
nation. In its mild and initial
stages, fear takes the form of
aversion to, or criticism Of, GER
tain activities by which the in
dividual justifies his continued in
action. The world is full of NAL.
contents, parlor communists and
social theorists who, because they
will not change themselves, talk
about changing the entire system.
They do not seem to realize. many
of them, that in any social order
whatsoever, there would still be
misfitS. Through conversation
they rationalize their anger with
the world, instead of becoming en-
ragged with themselves and flying
into worthwhile action"

Now you can search baseball
records from Cooperstown to Ell

that by what we laughingly call

Griffs went into the ninth inning
with Appleton pitching. Luke
Sewell drove a long fly to Sington

Stone in center field. Two down

looked as insurmountable as Mt.

Jimmy Dykes didn't believe the
scoreboard, and anyway, Jimmy Is
a very tough citizen with very
little regard for the nice things OF
the game. He kept wanting to
win.
So he kept screaming at Ripper
Radcliffe to bust one, and Ripper
did, for two bases. Then Mike
Kreevich slapped a single, and
Dixie Walker, the old Yankee
sprayed the right center field
fence with a triple. zeke Bonura
doubled and three runs were
scored; enough to win the game.
The Sox got five hits off Apple
ton in one and two-third innings,
and the five were good for 10
bases, an average of a double per
hit. Sid Cohen rushed to the re-
lief Of Appleton, and as usual, Sid
stopped the target practice forth
