warfare, in which attacking planes must be checked, is considered more vital than the art of camol- flage. The British long ago learned that one effective protection against daytime bombing of an army in the field was to make sure nc equipment reflects the sun. The U s. Army is following this same sound rule.
 All glitter has been ordered re- moved from military equipment Even bayonets are being dipped in special blue finish to prevent shine. The dull olive surface of staff cars, troop transport trucks and other vehicles was designed to this end. It blends with the land- scape and is safeguard against air attacks.
 However, one of the most em- inent Army brasshats, the com mander of the vital link to our hemispheric defense, has oth 9 T ideas. Lieutenant General Daniel Van Voorhis, 62-year -old command ing officer at the Panama Canal lifeline of the Americas"-still clings to old-fashioned ideas about military showiness.
 Recently consignment of staff cars was shipped to the Canal Van Voorhis took one look at their dull olive finish and snorted, Have 'em shined up!" Many hours of hard labor were spent by a polish ing squad of privates before thu e cars met with the Generals ap- proval.
 NOTE-Van Voorhis made the mistake of putting his shine up" order in writing. A copy found its way to the War Department and caused lot of scowling, but so far the glitter-loving General has not been called down by the Gen. eral Staff.

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-The Browns

but what they're offering in ex-
change isn't fascinating the Wash

Rumor has it that Outdelder Roy
Cullenbine and Shortstop Alan

George Case now has gone plate

obtaining a hit. Only three times
over that stretch has he been able
to loft ball over the inf1eld.
Travis, who now is hitting .558,
includes nine doubles, three triples

Busy SaddIing Platter,
Trainer Doesn't Call
On His Derby King
By the Associated Press.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 3.-Ben
Jones, his work we'll done, didn't
even bother to return to the stable
today after Whirlaway spread-eagled
his field in the 9th Kentucky
Derby.
Always a sufferer from derby
jitters." the trainers annual malady,
plain Ben" from Parnell, Mo-, was
so limp after Whirly scored by eight
lengths that he didn't feel up to
making the quarter mile hike to his
barn on the backstretch.
To most men, saddling a Derby
winner would have been sufficient
work for one day. But not Ben.
He considered just as important
that he be on hand to tighten the
saddle girt on the $1,000 platter,
Honey Chile, which closed out a
perfect day for Owner Warren
Wright and Jones by winning the
final race.
Only then did Jones decide to
visit his Derby winner. By that
time Whirly had cooled out and was
eating his supper as If he had done
nothing unusual. So Ben went on

tower. Buddy Lewis lined out to
Center-fielder Walter Judnich, but
Travis connected for his first cir
cult smash of the tiff, pumping
liner over the right center-fleld
stands.
st. Louis shaved the score to 81
in its portion of the first when
Chet Laabs rifled single TO center
with two out and scored as Judnich
dented the right-feld screen with a
double.
While Kennedy staged a sudden
recovery to retire 13 Mats in order
after that hectic start, the Browns
continued to shellac Sundra. In the
third inning they manufactured
three runs and sent Steve to a
premature shower by nicking him
for another run in the fourth.
Kennedy launched the Browns
third with a single that blistered
Sundras beard en- route to center
field and Cliff followed with a home
run which barely plunked into the
left-field bleachers. George Nc
Quinn doubled to right, took third
as Laabs grounded out and scored
on Judnich's infield out.
st. Louis boosted the score to 5-3
in the fourth. With one out Roy
Cullenbine singled of Myers glove,
stole second, and after Frank CRUDE
famed, scored on Kennedy's second
single to center.
Bespectacled MacFayden. who re-
placed Sundra starting the fifth
inning, represented no improve
ment. After disposing of McQuinn,
the first batter to face him, Danny
bumped into a series of four sue
cessive singles off the bats of Laabs,
Judnich, Johnny Berardino and
Johnny Lucadello. That netted the
Browns three runs and increased
their advantage to 8-3.
Vernon, Travis Keep Hitting.
That situation existed only brief
ly, however, for in the sixth YER
non became the first Nat to reach
base since the first inning when he
walked with one out. Mickey took
second as Lewis grounded out, and
Travis then punched his second
homer of the game over the right
field stands.
But just as rapidly as Travis at
tempted to put the Mats back in
the game, sleek little MacFayden
proceeded to make things more diff
ficult. With two out and nobody
on in the sixth McQuinn lofted
homer over the right-field roof,
and the Browns owned a 9-5 lead.
Vernon whitfield that margin to
81 in the eighth when he rammed
a triple off the center-field screen
with one out to score Case, who
had walked to open the inning.
Vernon scored as Lewis grounded
out to McQuinn, but Travis third
extra-base blow of the game, a
double to left, was wasted as Luca-
dello threw out Myer.
Washington's hopes flickered
family in the ninth when Pinch
hitter Johnny Welaj singled sharp
ly to right with two out, but Case

BY BURTON HAWKINS,
Star staff CORRESPONDENT.

ST. LOUIS, May 3-The clicking
combination of Cecil Travis and
Mickey Vernon labored fruitlessly
for the Mats here today as the st.
Louis Browns battered three Wash
ington pitchers to take 81 de-
cision, overpowering two homers
and a double by the astonishing
Travis and a home run and triple
authored by Vernon.
Vernon Kennedy, who had drop
ped three previous starts and SEEM
ingly was poised to lose a fourth
game when the Mats hammered him
for three runs in the first inning,
remained the route to get the ver-
dict. Blasted for four hits in the
opening session, he limited Wash
ington to five more thereafter.
Travis and Vernon were sizzling
duet, figuring in every Washington
run, but they received no aid in
their efforts to prolong the Mats
infant winning streak to three
straight games.
MacFayden No Help.
Steve Sundra, who had captured
his first two starts for the Mats in
impressive fashion, survived only
four innings before yielding the
pitching burden to Danny MacFay-
den, who was no sensation. Ale
jandro Carrasquel hurled the last
two innings for Washington and
escaped scoring desnite loading the
bases in the eighth and issuing a

Congressn1en's Mail
FaUors Tax Increase

One of the most curious factors
in popular opinion at the moment, If
one may take mail to congressman
as fair Indication OF it, is the fail
ure Of the isolationist group-Bur-
ton Wheeler, Gerald Nye, Charles
A. Lindbergh, ct ALTO arouse senti-
ment against paying taxes, sub
stantial part of which will be used
for aid to Britain--in short for war.
Most congressman report that
they actually have more mail from
patriots willing to pay increased
taxes than from constituents kick
ing because the burden is going to
be SO heavy.
Mr.. Lindbergh, in particular, has
always urged heavier spending for
national defense, but even he has not
made any headlines by insisting
that the new taxes need not be SO
oppressive if we contented our
selves with building up our own de-
lenses, and did not spend money
also on supplies to be sent to
Britain.
DIRECT APPEAL LACKING
II and when Lindbergh, Wheeler
and Nye take that stand then will
be the time that phase can be
Judged. So far there has been no
direct appeal to the letter writing
public to express itself. 1t might
also be pointed out that great
many people who do understand
what the tax schedules are going
to do to them, talk plenty but do
not write--that it is not the average
person who sits down and writes
letter to his congressman, but
group that is in fact very small
minority.
This is absolutely true, but the
fact is also true that this minority,
cranks il they be, is very potent
in this country and always has
been. For right or wrong, con-
| gressmen take certain part Of the
cross section from these letters
written admittedly by minority
which enables them to conclude the
public opinion.
So It Is important that so far, on
the eve Of consideration Of the tax
bill, the opponents Of aid to Britain
have not been. able to bring any
pressure to bear through this chan
mel against the tax boosts.

Twenty-four girls were initiated
into membership. From these girls
the following were elected to Of
