1t was comparable to crossing the
continent In a covered wagon, but
the Mats Joe Krakauskas finally
has arrived. The large southpaW
with the looped legs hereafter will be
one OF baseballs more polished
pitchers or some people whose busi-
ness it is to know the game are going
to blush.
Joseph today was the owner of a
mediocre record. He has won only
six games and he's lost IL, but that's
as misleading as those mirrors in
the Midway at Glen Echo. He
actually has missed being one of the
seasons sensations by the width of
mosquitoes eyelash.
Some fourth-grade arithmetic re-
veals Krakky almost uniformly has
hurled in hard luck. 1t hasn't been
the usual case of the big blond
Lithuanian gaining his stuff and
effectiveness late in the season.
He's done that for the past two
seasons, but this year he has been
pitching better than ever and has
nothing to show for it.
Krakky, of course, has had some
bad games this season. There were
times when he appeared rather hor-
rible, but not in the last five weeks.
Over that period he has been no
less than brilliant. Yesterday, for
instance, he dropped a 81 engage
ment to Detroit at Griffith Stadium,
but he deserved better fate.
Krakky Sparkles Against Tigers.
Joe pitched for eight innings,
allowing only five hits, two runs and
one base on balls. But the Mats
weren't hitting Buck NeWsom either
and Krakky wound up taking an
other loss, with the Tigers obtaining
their other run off Relief Pitcher
Alexandra Carrasquel in the ninth
Examine some figures concerning
Krakky's last seven appearances and
be convinced the guys unleashed a
potent brand of pitching. In AZ
innings he has allowed only % hits
and II runs. 1t may be significant
that over that stretch he has yielded
only l6 bases on balls.
The opposition has been held
scoreless in q of the last 81 innings
Krakky has worked. Peek at these
figures for Joe's last seven games
and he resembles another Gomez OF

Which holds more, the Davis Cur

adds that probably he can hold more

The next question comes from
Cuthbert Whap, unmarried, who
wants us to play IL overtures by
Bach. Mr.. Whap incloses a stamped
self-addressed envelope, but no
piano, so he will just have to
take our word for it that we can
play those overtures by Bach, and
play them ID well. The ques-
ton will cost him $25 or 10 days

What have we here? Well, Miss
Honeychile Gillespie of Yale Uni
versity wants us to give the calls of
five common songbirds, namely, (a)
robin, (b) the thrush, (c) the chick
adee, Cd the wasp and (e) the
Japanese beetle.
Answer-Those feathered friends
have the following calls:
(a) Willie-e-e!
(b) Bob White! Bob White!
(c) Call for Mr.. Aspinwall!
Cd Yoo-hoo!
(e) The Japanese beetle left a
call for $3.50 am. In warmer
climates this will sometimes be as
late as 9:45. After leaving the call
the beetle usually goes next door
and leaves its eggs, which hatch
during the winter, in a hollow
square. When he reaches maturity
the japanese beetle will tell you
one dialect story after another. He
is terrible pest.

AFL Unions
Consent To
Packard Poll

Detroit, Mich, August 7.-(AP)-
An official of the AFL-United Auto
Workers announced today that his
union had consented to a National
Labor Relations Board poll of Pack
ard Motor Company employees and
would not contest similar elections
ordered for Chrysler Corporation,
Briggs Manufacturing Company and
Motor Products Company plants.
The announcement apparently
averted the likelyhood of a CIO-
UAW strike in the Packard plant
authorized yesterday by a vote of
the Packard local.
Mike Bowen, regional director of
the NLRB, said today that the Pack
ard vote would be held August II.
The Motor Products poll is schedul-
ed for August Is. Elections in the
Briggs and Chrysler plants, Bowen
said, will be held later.
Fred Durrance, regional director
of the UAW-AFL, in making his
announcement, said the move was in
line with a recently adopted policy
of the union. Earlier there were in
dications that the UAW-AFL would
contest the order.

Washington, Aug. T. (AP) "A
new struggle to swing popular op-
inion for or against the unfinished
items on the Roosevelt program was
in the making today as members of
the first $4,000, 100000 Congress laid
their record before the "home folks"
From President Roosevelt down,
administration leaders took the at
titude that public reaction would
force the 1870 Congress to adopt
most of the New Deal measures shell
we'd during the session which ended
Saturday night.
Republican legislators, on the 9TH
er hand, argued that next year the
Senate and House would show even
greater independence, and that there
was a difficult drift away from ad-
ministration policies.
Indications pointed to a record
amount of political and legislative de-
bate throughout the country before
the final Congress of Mr.. Roosevelts
second term meets in. January.
The President, who will leave to-
night for Hyde Park, N. Y, to study
the last batch of congressional bills,
may discuss the situation when he
goes to the west coast in October.
He was represented by Senate
Leader Barkley, Democrat, Ken
lucky, as believing that when oppo-
Sition congressman have sounded out
their constituents they will modify
their views on such measures as the
neutrality and lending programs. The
former was held over until next year
and the latter was killed by BIZ
partisan coalition in the House.

Washington, August 7.-(AP)-
Administration farm officials went
ahead today with plans to maintain
artificial crops under prices of ma
jor agricultural products after Con-
gress. in one Of its final acts, voted
S119,OOO,OO to restore the capital
stocks of the Commodity Credit Cor
poration.
The appropriation gave the agency
about $25O,OO0,0O0 for loans to farm
ers on surpluses of wheat, corn, cot
ton, wool dairy and other farm pro-
ducts withheld from markets until
prices improve.
Officials explained that such loans
made at rates in excess OF market
prices, tend to lift and maintain
prices above what they otherwise
would be. for example, loans are
being made on wheat stored on farms
at rates averaging about 81 cents a
bushel. While local prices are slight
ly below these rates, officials be-
lieve they would be considerably
lower if it were not for the loans.
The corporation expects to use
about $100,000,00O for wheat loans
and about the same amount for corn
loans. The balance will be held for
the other commodities. The. agency
already has 100000 invested in
loans on cotton totaling about H.
