Bill" Donovan,s new setup for the "coordination of information" The psychologist "brain trust" often col- laborating with report men, issues weekly analyses.
 Spot bulletins of urgent findings are rushed to officials whenever necessary. When something urgent comes up, like the German short wave campaign to blame the United States for the Bolivian shake-up and the Peru-E Ecuador flareaup ur- gent bulletins are rushed to govern ment officials so they can prepare counter-measures Sometimes pro- paganda trends are anticipated so that the U. S. can beat the Axis propagandists ot the draw.
 EM. M.B. s. BECOMES
 ALL-AROUND WATCHDOG
 Analysts generally work on a long-range basis, realizing that 1t often takes months to recognize and chart Q course of propaganda maneuvers.
 The formation of the Foreign Broadcast Monitoring Service was niaugurated, and pushed through by Chairman Fly of the P. 0. Q. He realized the importance of such a "watch-dog" agency and got in touch with private research groups working along related lines.
 The Princeton Listening Center was one of these pioneer organiza- tons. But the Princeton station merely took samples" of programs at various hours. The F. B. M. s realized the necessity of going the whole hog. So it's recording every single word,

PITCHERS ARE BIG PROBLEM
 FOR JIM WILSON
Chicago Cubs No Pennant Threat as They Stand
 at Present
BY JACK GUENTHER fTYulAaA Praaa Htaff f,0rreNnondAl


 Avalon. Cal, March i0--(UP)- Jimmy Wilson can add new power to the outf!eld with Lou Novikoff, and new precision to the infield with Lou Stringer, but he can't face the National League season with more than minimum optimism until he gets something for the mound.
 For, as he worked today at the task of lifting the Chicago Cubs out of the second division, he had a problem which seemingly has no solution. Last year the Cubs had their poorest season since 1925. The reason was a lack of first class pitchers and the blunt truth is: the staff doesn't figure to greatly im- prove.
 Chicago carried 10 pitchers around the circuit during i940 and only two won more games than they lost. One was Claude Passeau, the reformed Philly who won 20 and dropped B of the 46 contests ii1 which he worked. The other was young Vern Olson, with e creditable sophomore record of B triumphS against nine dfeeats. Back of them, things aren't 50 bright.
 Aside from the veteran Larry French. a wok horse who split 28 games for a 800 average, the other eight members of the staff were not exactly brilliant. Altogether they lost l3 more contests than they won. Some ran into bad luck, some were getting old and one or two needed experience. Yet, except for French, they arnassed only 28 ts!umphs against q defeats.
 This season ell 10 have returned, and there are only four newcomers. Two of the rockies are up from the farm team, Tulsa. But the other two are high school boys with no pre- vious experience in organized base. bau. Just what can be expected of them in their first year Is, of course, a question without an answer.

 sS. Peter & Paul played a ten. game schedule In the Catholic loop, losing only to St. Mary's. l5-l3, in the second series after whipping the Donnellymer IA to 6 the first time they got together.

 New York, March 10--(UP)-out of town track stars carried home the major titles from the Knights of Columbus track and field meet but most of the glory belonged to local athletes today.
 Victory in the Columbian mile, the Donahue two-miie, the high hurdles and the pole vault went to the invading contingent but of the three world records broken and one equalled in the K. of c. carnival in Madison Square Garden Saturday night, two were posted by Metro politan athletes.
 John Borican, National 1000. yard champion from the Shore A. C., Elberon, N. J., produced the first world mark when he van- quished Charlie Beetham, Colum- bus, O., by l2 yards in the Casey 600. He shattered the old record with a brilliant l:l0.2. Beetham was clocked in l:l0.8, former universal mark set by Jim Herbert, March 9, i940.
 Less than an hour later. Borican came back and registered one of those rare doubles by scoring a six. yard victory in tho 1000.yard run over Jim Kehoe Washington, D. O.. in 2:l0.3, second fastest time ever run indoors.
 Third Best
 After losing a world record by using the wrong ball last week, Al Blozis. Georgetown's record. .shat- tering shotputter, cracked his for. n1er standard of 56 feet 8 3.4 inches beyond question with a 56.feet 3 "a inches pitch for the third best toss ever made in doors.
 Last approach to record by 8 local star came when Herbert Thompson, Jersey City, N. J., Ma tional Indoor champion, scooted to triumph il, the 60-yard dash ill 6.2 seconds to equal the meet mark.
 After that, the evening belonged to the invaders. Walter Mehl of Wisconsin, after taking three straight lickings at the heels of Leslie MacMitchell, New York uni- VerSlCy yotMBSter, won tne SoiuIns bian mile in the seventh and rub- Der meeting. Mehl oustlasted Mac- Mitchell n a bitter stretch duel and was clocked iil 4:i0.4, MacMitchell in All and John Munski, Coluin. bia, Mo-, third, in 4:l2.6.
 Greg Rice, unbeatable Notre Dame alumnus, contributed his share to the out-of- -towners' margin when he won the two-mile in 8:56.5, third fastest time in history. The victory was Rice's ninth straight of the season, 18th straight over two campaigns and won him per- manent possession of the Bishop Donahue trophy. Mel Fruit, Des Moines, Ia, was second, 20 yards back.
