Phail has paid a fortune for no

big assist to First Baseman Dolph
Camilli.
"Camilli discovered flaw in my
batting while we were playing golf
down south before the season start
ed" explains Walker. "He noticed
that my right wrist was locked when
I hit the ball.
"He asked me if I did the same
thing at bat. I did. We went over
it again at the ball park the next
day. He advised me to flex both
wrists in swinging.
IT tried this few times and no
ticed I wasn't lunging at the ball as
I used to.
IT could get the fat Of the bat at
an inside pitch. My timing i'm
proved greatly because of my small
Ter stride in moving toward the bali.
There is no question but that I be-
came a better hitter by breaking
my wrists"

Little Saving
Under Budget
Estimate Seen

Washington, April 22.-(AP)-
Influential lawmakers predicted to-
day that Congress would appropri-
ate about s7,370,000,000 at this scs-
sion, resulting in little if any saving
under President Roosevelts budget
estimates.
Although the President told re-
porters last week that it seemed like
ly that Congress might cut about
S200,000,000 off the 1871 expendi-
lures which he proposed last JAN
uary, some senators said this now
appears impossible.
They pointed to the likelihood
that the army and navy would ask
supplemental funds of S100,000,000
more for defense needs. An ex-
penditure of this nature virtually
would wipe out the tentative re-
auctions of Sll8,051,334 which have
been made in appropriation bills
made so far.

Now, if that convention starts OIL

Muss Already Spreading.
The row already is spreading be-

ALT NJ. Landon, from as far away
from New York as Kansas, has sent
congratulations to State Chairman
Jackie, as booster for liberal
Republican presidential nominee. He
named no names, but it was hard to
interpret his message otherwise than
as an Endorsement of Jaeckle's IA
vorite candidate-DeWey.
Plenty of Republicans, though aver
that nobody knows whether DeWey's
a liberal or a conservative. They say
he's too juvenile and inexperienced
to be calculable.
Some of these Republicans are
nearly as Influential as ALI Landon,
though more or less anti-DeWey-ites.
For instance, there's Representa-
tives James w. WadsWorth of up
state New York. He's notable enough
to be a G.. o. P. presidential dark

Dewey, but he does call himself pro-

Shaping Into Full

Now In The Field.

Stockholm, April 22.-(AP) -
Sweden protested strongly to Berlin
today against incursons by Nazi war
planes over her territory, and asked
measures to prevent repetition Of
flights which yesterday were eSpe-
cially numerous and grave"
Faced with steadily expanding
bottle zone next door in Norway,
Sweden already has taken sweeping
precautions to prevent the conflict
from infringing on her neutrality
Fast moving columns Of British
and French troops, striking swiftly
inland from debarkation points on
NorWay'S coast, were reported en-
gagged in series of fierce clashes
with German forces on the Trond-
helm and Oslo fronts.
The conflict in Norway was shap-
ing into a full Pledged war in the
'dern style, with perhaps 100000
men in the field-British, French
Norwegian and German-some NOV
ing behind tanks and others attack
ing under cover of artillery and
aerial bombardments.
Spurred by fear Of further widen
ing Of the struggle, Sweden achieved
peak preparedness short of general
mobilization.
SWedes were worried by the in
cursion Of German planes. Extra
ordinary air defense precautions
were taken.
Focal points of the fighting appa-
rently were Verdalsora, 35 miles
north of Trondheim, and Elverum,
60 miles north of Oslo, near the
Swedish frontier
Approximately 300 miles of rough
terrain separates the two battle
fronts.

London, April 22.-(AP) - The
British air force is synchonizing
raids on German bases in Norway

off the Nazi air ferry service which
poured German troops into the in
Vaded north country.

the night by British bombers, repeat
ing attacks which on the previous
night also included KriStiansand and
another southern port.
The Stavanger airdrome was

plosivc and incendiary bombs"
British reported that all raiders
returned safely from the StaVanger
attacks and only one was missing
after the Aalborg attacks.
A well informed source said that
British and Norwegian troops had
joined at several places and that
Joint action in eastern Norway had
been extremely effective.
