Just about the time the National
Leagues goings-on have everybody
ready for quiet padded cell some
where. those New York Yankees step
forward today to save the day.
For the moment, at least. the senior
circuit chase. where Pittsburgh S
three-game lead is about as certain,
from day to day. as vacation ro-
nance. can be given a back seat. BY
nlghtfall, Gehrig and company, deal
ers In home runs and pitchers poison,
may have clinched their third straight
American League pennant, for a new
loop record Of 10 championships.
OF course, there's nothing startling
about the Yankees pennant conquest.
Since somewhere around mid-July, it
has been just a matter OF waiting
until it arrived, like Christmas or pay
day.
Season Tough for Yanks.
The odd part about the business,
however, is that the Yanks had a
tougher time this year than in the
past three seasons-but are clinching
week earlier than they did in '37.
For most of the first hall of the cam
paign they stumbled around chasing
after the Cleveland Indians.
OF course. it's not altogether GER
tainty that the Yanks will sew up the
pennant today. AS result of the
GA decision they gained over Detroit
yesterday, despite Hank Greenberg's
5lst homer. they still need two wins,
or one victory and a los for Boston's s
second-place Red Sox.

Numbers Bill
Vote Slated
March2 28

Unless there is hitch some
where along the line, the anti
numbers bill will come up in the
House for action on March %
the next District Day"
The only eventuality which
might prevent House action on the
measure would be the failure of
Representative Vincent L. Palmi.
sano CD, of Maryland, chairman
of the House District Committee,
to call it up for consideration.
Representative Palmisano fought
up to the last minute against the
bill thus far in it's journey through
the House on the ground that the
bill gives too much authority to
police in its search and seizure
provisions.
At stormy meeting of his com
mittee yesterday, he attempted
several parliamentary moves to
prevent committee action, but he
was finally overruled overwhelm
ingly.
The bill, which passed the Sen.
ate more than a year ago. will
have to go into conference, in the
event of House passage, because
of three technical amendments
voted by the committee.

SHEEHAN PLEADS
FOR 7. B. FUNDS

Lack of funds to present known
facts about the disease is the great
est factor in the existence of tu-
berculoSis in the District.
This was the advice left today
with 200 members Of the D. c. Con.
gress of Parents and Teachers by
Donald r. Sheehan, of the Tuber-
culosis Association. .-.
Failure to provide sufficient
funds to make tuberculosis symp-
toms known to the general public
enables the dread scourge to sweep
the city, he declared in the after
noon session of the Congress at
the Pepco Auditorium yesterday.
Earlier, the congress heard a
plea by Assistant Director of Traf-
fic M. o. Eldridge for more play
grounds and a course on traffic
safety in all elementary schools.
Eldridge cited spectacular drop
in the number of fatalities this
year over a corresponding period
a year ago in support of his plea.

Takes Issue With Mr.. Lewis

T DIFFER with Mr.. Lewis when he says that
our nation is not menaced "by foreign
foe" What, ask you, is this idea that the in
dividual wants security" rather than independ-
ence? If that is not foreign to Americans, then
I am not an American.
One of the banes of our thinking, these days.
is the imported germ that makes men say they
would rather have potatoes and live in con-
centration camp, than run the risks Of unem-
ployment. What they forget is that under the
system of security" and concentration camps
they are in the army for life. They have no
chance to rise. In the end they become cannon
fodder
