Opening Lineups
 In Capital Today

Waiting until the day before the seasons grand opening to announce his prices, Doyle emphasized that the 104f pennant races were fraught wiht more uncertainties, doubts and question marks than any in his memory.
 T waited until the last possible minutes to announce my prices" said Doyle. T even considered not quoting any prices this year. First, who knows how hard the draft is going to hit baseball. Before the years out we may see some of our leading stars in the army camps with a rife on their shoulder in. stead of bat.
 Hugh Mulcahy already has gone. Buddy Lewis Is due to go in a month and Hank Greenberg in June. What If Teller had to gop Ills loss would just about wreck the Tn. dians. I don't think any single fel- low can count himself safe. The current is moving too swiftly.
 Another important angle about the two races is that there's not q real standout club in either league. Of course, the Reds have a great pitching staff but you couldn't call them great club beyond that" Quick Changes Ahead
 Doyle stressed that his, opening line is subject to change on & days notice and that the odds may shift quickly as soon 50 the public starts betting.
 After all it's the public that makes the price," he said.
 Tn making the Tanks favorites Doyle admitted that he originally had the Indians co-favorites but shifted at the last minuet, dropping Cleveland to 3-2 Thus the Tanks are l4-i0 and the Indians l5-l0. The Tigers arc third choices at 4-l.
 "The Tanks have plenty of ques- ton marks" Doyle said. "Priddy and Rizzuto have to prove they arc as good as they are touted, Dickey has to stage 6 comeback and the young pitchers have to come around.
 cleveland has the pitching. I figure Teller, Milnar and Harder good for 50 to 65 games. That's quite 6 start toward Q pennant. I place Boudreau at short on 6 pedestal but I am not so sure about Mack. The Indians could use more hitting.
 "Everything depends on dreen- berg with the Tigers. If he goes to the army, you can count Detroit out of 1t. However, they have power and they may be old but they're smart. The Red sox are the same as al- ways. They have the punch, but their pitching is a scrambled affair"
 Tn the National League the Dodg- CTS are quoted as second choice be- hind the Reds ct o-5. The Cardinals are third choice at 4-l and the Cubs and Pirates next, at Bel.
 Best Pitchers
 T give the Reds top spot because they've won two pennants and have solid pitching" said Doyle. "Wal- etrs, Derringer and Thompson are good for 55 games, maybe 60. Their pitching is good beyond their big three too. I must take McKechnie's word that Joost can handle short- stop. expect Gleeson, an under rate dball player, to help too.
 Brooklyn is @ dangerous threat but I am not SO sold on Higbe. He's got to prove to mo that he can win for a pennant contender. And Med- wick still Is @ question mark. When the Cards dump @ ball player, they seldom amount to much. The Cards are an unknown quantity but they have possibilities and they have the punch. The Pirates lack the pitch ing. The Cubs might be better than rated. can't see the Giants as they are setup now"

the taxpayer should get a dollars value for every dollar spent.
 Detrimental
 Projects, such as the St. Low renee Waterway, which would di- vert men, materials, and money from essential and operating defense industries, should not be considered. Tn my Judgment, the St. Lawrence project can by no stretch of imag- ination be accepted as 6 national defense necessity. All indications are that the emergency will be over before the waterway could be com pleted; If completed, 1t would do irreparable injury to the established ports and transportation systems of the nation, further .discouragins private investments, and throwing thousands of workers out of em- ployment and upon government relief rolls. The project would be detrimental to the country at large, but would be especially injurious to the New England states.
 "You who are managing the pro- duction of the defense materials are conscious of the need for suspen- sion of some of the regulations upon private enterprise which today ham, per the expansion and speed which the period requires. Congressional leaders of both political parties are hopeful that some action will be taken by those in authority to rid the defense program of the bottle- neck that impractical regulations have created.
 "New legislation to bring the in. surance business under federal con- trol has been introduced in this Congress. mention this because New England is one of the insur- ance centers of the nation. The New England states have developed a high standard of regulation for insurance companies, and we view with alarm attempts of the federal government to substitute control for sound regulation

Special to The Dcmocrat)

Washington. D. C., May 1.-SeIla- tor H. Styles Bridges of New Hamp- shires last night called upon labor to "clean out the Communist nd NaN influences which have crept into some unions and are today do- ing so much damage to our national defense program"
 If labor fails to take the reces- sary action, and if the steps pro- posed by the administration are not successful, then the Congress will have no alternative but to take some action to relieve the situation" he said.
 Senator Bridges spoke at & buffet supper here at the Hotel Washing ton before New England business leaders who were hosts to New England's Congressional delegation. The affair was sponsored by the New England Council and New England Chamber of Commerce.
 Describing labor'S stake in the present emergency, he declared that difficulties between management and labor in reaching "the understand ing and cooperation so necessary to the defense program" presents New England and the rest of the country with a dangerous problem.
 Helpful Gains
 Labor has made mary helpful gains in the past decade and the people are hopeful that such gains can be maintained" he said. "That Is why we are so anxious to see both management and labor make their contributions to the United effort in the name of Americas future. This , as critical a time in the history of the United States as any we have ever experienced. Our problems are more complex today than they have ever been before, and every group must do its part toward their solu- ton.
 Labor has a real stake in the present emergency and in the future of this country. We hope that labor itself will succeed in cleaning up the unwarranted strike situation.
 Tn this very troubled time we are called upon ao face dangers and problems from within the nation as we'll as the threats of these who plot against us from without. In no other period of our history have we been so burdened with debts and taxes as we are today. We of New England, we who have always tried to follow a pay-as-we-go policy, are alarmed by the mounting national debt and the possibility of utter ruin for our economy if the nation too long delays planning ways and means to finance the high cost of government and the defense pro- gram. We cannot afford to gamble with the safety and security of America by continuing to make huge expenditures of borrowed money without thought of when or how we are going to pay the bills.
 Most of the New England dele- gation in the Congress are favor able to expenditures incident to the national defense program, but we do not want to allow those in charge of the program to put a na- tional defense label on plain boom doggling projects. We believe that
