Crossman was fined $40.

tractors refusing naval orders TO
take British contracts because the
former carry a profit limit of from
IA to per cent. The bill as passed
by the Senate does not assure the
conscript unemployment at his old
job, and there is a serious doubt
that any law attempting to do so
would be constitutional. At pres
ent this is one of the cloudiest is
sues of the bill as it goes to the
House for consideration. The Con-
scription Bill to be considered by
the House, as reported by the
House Military Affairs Committee,
sets the registration age from
twenty-one to forty-five. On Tues
day, September 8, this bill was re-
ported to the House for its con-
sideration.
EXCESS PROFITS TAX BILL
Under extreme gag rule, the
House last Thursday passed by a
-roice vote and sent to the senate,
a triple-barreled tax bill designed
to speed the defense program as
well as to prevent industry from
earning under profits out of the
expected armament boom. This bill
is expected to run into stormy
weather when the Senate Finance
Committee begins consideration of
it next week. AS we'll as setting up
excess profits levels, the bill pro-
vides for five year amortization of
new national defense plants. This
feature is an answer to the COM
plants of the Administration of
ficials that some defense contracts
were being held up because of bus
inessmen's uncertainty over the
extent to which they will be per
mitted to deduct from taxable in
come the cost of new plants built
exclusively for defense needs.
DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS
Immediately after passage OF
the military training bill, the Sen
ate took up and passed the S.
133, ,628,277 supplemental defense
appropriation bill that has been
awaiting on the calendar, and sent
it back to the House for concur
renee in amendments. Passage OF
this bill breaks the 'log-jam" on
defense program and it is expect
ed that within few days funds
will be available for ordering 49,
600 Army and Navy planes, COM
plete arms for 100000 man
Army and 200 warships- "a big
start toward a two ocean" navy
The Navy Department announced
that an agreement with the United
Aircraft Corporation for the pur-
chase of 1900 Pratt and Whitney
aircraft engines to cost about
S160, 100000 will be formally sign
ed when the supplemental defense
funds become available. In an.
nouncing the aircraft engine order
Secretary of Navy Knox said Unit
ed Aircraft will construct a ST..
100000 addition to its Hartford
plant and with its own funds, while
the Government will provide ST.,
100000 worth of machine tools fol
the work. With passage of the ex
cess profits tax bill, including the
amortization proviso, and passage
of the supplemental defense appro-
priation, national defense orders
lshould soon get under way.

In consequence there is VIDE
spread curiosity regarding the
question-how and to what ad-
vantage the power of the automo-
bile engine, ordinarily passed to
the cars rear wheels through fixed
mechanical connections, is now
transmitted in an entirely different
fashion, namely through body of
oil. A plain and homespun explain
alton of the Fluid Drive is one Civ
en- by the Dodge Company's vice
president and director Of sales,
Forest H. Akers. Our Fluid
Drive" says Mr.. Akers, 'is mount
ed between the crankshaft and the
clutch, where it takes the place of
the conventional fiywheel. The in
Stallation is one of extreme sim
plicity, for it consists of only two
working parts-two bowl-shaped
of evenly spaced blades or fins are
welded. One of these bowl-shaped
shells is mounted its open end
facing toward the rear-on the end
of the engine crankshaft; it is call
ed the driver or impeller; the other
Fluid Drive part, similar in con-
struction to the first one, is mount
ed on the drive shaft of the car in
such a way that its open end faces
the impeller- almost, but not quite,
touching it. The two Fluid Drive
parts, impeller and runner, are sur
rounded by tightly sealed steel
housing and this housing is filled
with two gallons of OIL That is
all there is, mechanically, to the
Dodge Fluid Drive; it is, in effect,
a two-section power train with a
gap in the center of the Fluid
Drive unit, where oil is made the
medium to carry driving energy
from one section of the unit to the
other. When the engine turns the
front section of the fluid coupling,
the rotating impeller throws the
oil by centrifugal force against the
fins of the runner, which promptly
turns in the same direction as the
impeller.
''The car, under way, proceeds
much as it would move if the
fluid and coupling were fixed
one; though it is noticeable that
starting, driving and stopping are
much smoother.
But the most useful detail in
the operation of the fluid drive is
the manner in which the rotation
speed of the runner member may
differ from the speed of the impel-
Ter under conditions of starting
and hill climbing. With the car in
motion, the oil and the runner of
the Fluid Drive will travel pract-
ically together When the car
slows down under conditions of
heavy pulling, or in getting under
way, the flow of oil against and
around the fins is such as to give
the fluid drive Dodge a truly as
tonishing operating fiexibility and
control The operator Of the Fluid
Drive Dodge has it in his power to
drive, if he wishes, the way he has
always driven. Or he may do 90
per cent of his normal driving
with the gear shift left in high
He may stop the car without re-
leasing the clutch pedal; he may
ascend hills in high" at speeds as

SCORE IN NINTH
WINS GAME, 81
Werber Comes Through With
18th Homer In Ninth In
ming To Save Day

CINCINNATI, Aug. 22.-lR-Bln
Werber has been hitting horne runs
only on occasion this season but
today he got his 18th at the best
possible time and the Cincinnati
Reds finally gave Bucky Walters
his long-awaited 18th victory. The
Boston Bees were the victims. 3
to 2.
Bucky and Nick Strincevich,
the latter pitching under the handl.
cap of a boil on his face. had
duelled through 8 IL innings.
The Reds had scored a pair OF
runs in the third and the Bees tied
it up in the sixth when Max West
hit his fourth homer of the year
with Gene Moore on base.
Strincevich pitched Just one ball
to Werber when the Reds came
out for their ninth. That ball went
far and true over the left field
wall and the ball game was over.
The victory, coupled with Brook
lyn's loss to Chicago, ran the Red S
lead to IL games.
One slight cloud over the pro-
ceedings was the protest filed by
Manager Casey Stengel Of the
Bees. Werber figured in that, too.
With two out and a man on first
in the Bees fourth, Eddie Miller
lifted high foul over by the third.
base boxes. Werber stuck his
glove into the crowd and came
out with the ball. Casey said Bill
picked it up from a fans lap and
Bill said he caught it. Umpire
George Dunn agreed with Bill.
Casey argued and was chased from
the field but not before he an.
nounced the protest.

Double-P Play Combination And

BY SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Aug 22.-R-A
double-play combination that can,
and a couple Of left handed pitch
ers who know how have made a
different ball club of the Cleveland
Indians this year.

horse and rundown department,
are agreed the sparkle of L o u
Boudreau and Ray Mack around
second and the portside comebacks
Of Al Smith and AL Milnar have
pulled the tribe right out there in
front of the pennant parade.
"You gotta know what it means
to pitcher to have a hot double
play pair behind him." Witt ex-
planned today. why, we lost nine
games alone last year on b a S
through the middle that we
couldn't come up with for double
plays. Five of them we dropped
to the Yanks, alone. Now we make
em all the time.
Take Wednesdays game in
Boston, for instance. We got little
lead in the ninth, but Mel Harder's S
firing and the Red Sox put men
on first and third. Lou Finney's s
up, and he's hard guy to handle.
He hits ball down to Boudreau
on three hops. It's over to Mack,
to Trosky-and the ball games S
over, and saved.
''Y'mow, after that one, Mel
told me he'd have been Is game
winner four-five years ago, if he
had those two kids behind him,
And they don't fold. They have
recuperative powers. Say, that's a
good word-that recuperative."

from Bobby Feller and his zip
ball, the lefties, Smith and Mil

the entire squads of both C u b S

Good Omen
One good omen in our plans
might be the complete shift to the
Tennessee attack, which has
proven so successful in Knoxville.
Herman Hickman and Babe Wood,
two Of Newton's aides, have taught
the Tennessee system they learned
under Major Robert Neyland, and
if you'll recall, this Tennessee style
looked mighty good the last half
OF the Carolina game last fall in
Chapel Hill.
We aren't claiming any titles; we
aren't claiming any victories. It's
about time the alumni stopped
playing football for State anyway,
and turned the game over to the
students. On the sidelines we take
no bumps and, therefore, should
abandon the knocks. It there's any
knocking to be done, We'll leave
it to the professional newspaper
men. They've done it in the past
and don't imagine they've forgot
ten how to do it now.
There's one thing about it, il
playing the State schedule is as
difficult as I've found Sam Ragan's
column to guest, they can have it.
The fellow who said, "The grass
is always greener in the O t h r
fellows field" knew whereof he
spoke. q
