Only by setting up Bill OF Duties
for ourselves can we observe the spirit
as well as the letter Of the Bill OF Rights.
How we'll do you know this charter Of
our liberties? Read it over carefully and
turn its clauses into inverse ratio. Free
press-free to speak the truth but not
free TO make false statements. Free as
sembly not to be used to overthrow the
government but for free and friendly
discussion Freedom to worship, but not
to keep anyone else from Worshipping.
And so on Each freedom that IS given
carries with it it's duty or restriction,
which affects each mans conduct to-
ward his neighbor.
TO sum up, let me quote Mr.. Wallace
again: In a democracy most OF the Or
der must and should come from the hui
man heart The most perfect order m
the world will be obtained when the cit

BUDDY ROSAR IS NOW VALUABLE TO NEW WORKERS
Dickey Has Been Slow Rounding to Form in
 Florida
BY PAUL sCHEFFELs

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, March 13--(UP)-- The distance from here to Florida as the gossip flies should be incalcuabla but from the rapidity with which news of the New York Yankees current plight has come north, 1t can't be very far.
 Until the appointment of Joe Gordon as the Yankees regular first baseman for 194l, that posi- ton represented one of the most difficult problems manager Joe Mccarthy had to solve this year.
 Now another puzzle-the catch- ing chores-has arisen to plague Mccarthy and there isn't a strate- gist in the Yankees St. Petersburg, Fla, camp who can guess how the jig-saw backstopping tumble will be solved.
 Listed on the Yankees roster are three catchers, Bill Dickey, Buddy Rosar and Ken Sylvestri, the latter obtained from the Chicago White Sox. In all probability, the three will be carried throughout the summer but exactly how much help each will be to the Yankees pennant plans is the stickler.
 This season will mark the 14th in the major leagues for Dickey. He has been in camp for couple Of weeks now but has been coming along slowly because of the two re- cent attacks of flu he suffered.
 NiNkaRy hoe natYnI9t fl4aVH inn games in each of the past 12 years for big league record and until last season, when he slumped to PAT, he was a potent batter. If he can come back this year, Yankee troubles behnid the plate will bans ish.
 Looks Good
 Rosar definitely has made the grade as the No. 2 man behind Dickey. He hit .298 in 73 games last year and was an excellent workman who proved his major league calibre when he took up the slack following Dickey's 1940 slump.
 But the possibility that Rosar may not be able to put his shoulder to the whole load and make the grade strictly as the No. 1 catcher threatens to send Yankee plans awry. There is no yardstick of past performances on which to judge the chunky catcher because he has nev- CT been top man in any big league camp. He wouldn't be the first bril- liant second -stringer to fail as a varsity man.
 The background of Dickey and Rosar afford some material on which to judge their future success or failure but Sylvestri caught ex- actly one game for the White Sox last year. His personal history re- veals little more than that he is big and husky, only 25 years old and ambitious.
 Just who the top catcher on the Yankees will be, is one of the de- tails that probably won't be settled until the squad comes home for their anuanl tune-up series with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
