NEW YORK, June 20 CUP) Big
John Mize and his war club are
back in action with the st, Louis
Cardinals. 1t pains the pennant
aspiring Dodgers and the world
champion Reds to even think about
it. They've been chasing the Cards
without Mize. Now does anybody
think they can catch them with
Mize? Don't all yell at once.
The big Georgia slugger, who
National league pitchers rate as the
most dangerous hitter in their
league, came Oft the Cardinal bench
in the sixth inning yesterday
against the Phillies. The Cards
trailed by So but Big John slammed
out a single and two runs counted.
Pretty soon another run came in
and the game was knotted up. The
PhilS scored in the seventh but the
Cards tied it in the ninth and went
on to win in the eleventh, 7-6. The
victory enabled st. Louis to hold
its 3-game lead over the Dodgers.
After pinch hitting, Mize, who has
been laid up with a finger injury
since May 26th except for brief
pinch hitting jobs, returned to first
base, and Johnny Hopp shifted to
left field with Don Padgett coming
in from the outfield to take over
the catching. Manager Billy South
worth'S problem from now on is to
keep Mize, Padgett and Hopp in
the lineup all at the same time
Mize and Padgett for their long
distance power and Hopp for his
speed, aggressiveness and timely
hitting. 1t was Hopp who scored
the winning run yesterday. He walk
ed in the eleventh. raced to third
on Padgett's third single and scored
on Crespis single. Sam Nahem,
allowing only one hit in the last
three innings, was credited with the
triumph, giving him five wins
against no defeats.

EnIisfments Noted

SHANGHAI, June 20 CUP) -
The reported policy of the United
States army in facilitating resigna-
tons of army airmen desiring to
serve in the Chinese air force to-
day raised the question as to
whether the United States congress
might be asked to repeal the law Of
1860 forbidding American citizens
to enlist in Chinese forces.
The law authorized the United
States minister. whose erstwhile
judicial functions now are exercised
by the United States court for
China, to issue injunctions against
enlisters and call upon the United

During the night residents of Ber-

Weak forces of the R. A. F. were

fell into the water and on open land,
but some hit apartment houses, in
juring a number of civilians.

bility of reaching final settlement.
In most labor stoppages terminated
by the board so far it has first
sought temporary agreement pro-
viding for resumption of production
while negotiation of differences was
continued under supervision of the
board.
Meanwhile, important industries
began scraping the bottoms of their
coal bins as a result of the btu
minous tie-up which has kept some
100000 miners idle since April !.
Industrialists declared that steel
production and railroad service
would have to be curtailed in the
event the mines remained shut down
much longer.
Informed sources said the union
had given no indication at yester-
days sessions here of receding in
its demand for a s7-a-day wage
throughout the industry.
The uniform wage proposal was
the crux of the controversy. North
ern operators teportedly agreed to
raise the rate from S6 to 81 If the
Southern group would pay the same
amount.
The latter, now paying $3.50, have
objected to wiping out the differen-
tial.
After the board had dismissed the
Northern representatives and the
union negotiators last night, it held
the Southern group for several
hours additional conference.
With bituminous mines idle for
26 days, the dwindling coal supply
began to affect industry.
Defense officials said that steel
production, now at 95 per cent Of
plant capacity, would have to be re-
duced to IS per cent next week and
to 60 per cent the following week,
for lack of fuel.
c. H. Buford, vice president of
the Association of American Rail-
roads, said: Some Of the roads
are going to get pretty short by the
end of one more week. Another
week, and some of the service prob
ably will have to be curtailed."
Steel Plants Affected.
Steel circles in New York said 20
per cent of Carnegie Illinois ingot
capacity was shut down, and that
United States Steel would have to
close its chief operating unit by
mid-May unless it got more coal.
Republic Steel Corp. was reported
to have shut down one of its four
blast furnaces in the Cleveland dis
trict and three at Youngstown, re-
ducing production rs per cent.
Youngstown Sheet g. Tube Co.
closed down two furnaces and two
more were expected to go out next
week.
Virginia members of Congress
sent the Mediation Board an appeal
from the State Corporation Commits
sion for assistance in alleviating a
threatened suspension of some local
railroad passenger service.
The War Department was said
to have been informed by IS defense
plants that they had only few days
supply of coal on hand.

Randolph Introduces Bill
For Separate Air Force

Creation of a department OF air
defense and establishment of a
separate air farce by transferring
the Army Air Corps and General
Headquarters Air Force out of the
Army is authorized in a bill intro
duced in the House by Representa-
tive Randolph, Democrat, of West
Virginia
The bill does not attempt to make
any change in the Navy Bureau of
AeronauticS and would leave naval
aviation in the Navy, as at present.
The proposed department would
be headed by a secretary of air de-
fense to be appointed by the Presi-
dent with the consent of the Sem
ate, at salary of $4,000 a year.
He would take over all functions
and duties of the Secretary of War
relating to military aeronautics and
would become a member of the
Council of National Defense, rank
ing Immediately after the Secre-
tary of the Navy in the Presidents
cabinet.
All officers and employees of the
War Department concerned with
aeronautical matters would be
transferred to the new department.
The bill would create a new and
separate aerial branch of the armed
forces, to be known as the air force,
which would include the Air Corps
and the G. H. @. Air Force. The
President would become its COM
mander in chief, as he is of the
Army and Navy. A general staff
similar to that in the War Depart
ment would be created within the
department of air defense.
