International
Strife Begins
Tigers at Boston
Brooks Meet Ciney
BY JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Sports Writer

The major leagues open their
first intersectional strife of the
season today and the next 10
days may be more revealing than
those that have passed.
1t is impossible to evaluate the
Brokk lyn Dodgers, for instance,
on their record Of winning nine
out of II games from the Bos-
ton Braves and Philadelphia
Pills and no one will be sure of
the surprising strength shown
by the Cleveland Indians until
they are tested against the New
York Yankees and Boston Red
Sox.
At the outset there are
three series that stand out
the Detroit Tigers invasion of
Boston in the American
League and the Brooklyn at
Cincinnati and New York at
st. Louis struggles in the Ma
tiOnal League.
The Tigers have come up with
some Unexpectedly fine pitching
and the New York Giants with
extra-base hitting to astound vir-
tually everybody by hanging
around third place in the two
leagues. Some of the credit for
their high estate, however, must
go to the collapse of the Chicago
White Sox, who current y are
couched in the American League
cellar, and the Cincinnati Reds,
who are in seventh place in the
senior circuit. Both these clubs
were, and still are, expected to
wind up near the top.
REDS HIT SNAG
The Reds IAN into another
setback yesterday, 43 in IL inn
ings, by the Chicago Cubs and
now need desperately to show
something against the Dodgers
if they hope to get into the pen
nant scramble. For the Cubs
victory meant tie with the
Giants for third place.
Johnny Wander Nicer hurled
for the Reds and allowed Il hits
in IL frameS-but six of these
were punched in the fourth and
fifth innings for three Chicago
runs and two more, singles by
Stan Hack and rookie Len Mer-
10, sandwiched an error by
shortstop Eddie Joost in the 18th
and spelled Vandy's doom.
The Reds made two of their
runs on three hits in the sixth
inning and brought Paul Erick
son hurrying TO the rescue of
Hiram Bithorn. He performed a
noteworthy re,iei mission, al
lowing only one hit in 5 l3 inn
ings, but this blow was an
eighth-inning home run by
Frank Mccormick to tie the
score.
All of the other clubs had an
open date.

British 10 Organize
Palestine Regiment
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-War Secretary
Sir James Grigg announced in the
House Of Commons today that a
Palestine regiment of Jewish and
Arab infantry battalions would be
created Immediately for service in
the British Army in the Near East.
Existing Palestinian companies
will be incorporated into the force,
and 1t Is hoped at least 10000 addi-
tional recruits will be obtained, he
said. They normally would serve in
Palestine or adjacent lands.
Ian Campbell Hannah had raised
the question of a Jewish army in a
House Of Commons discussion.
Maj. Victor Cazalet, another men,
ber, said that, exclusive of 1000 re-
cruits who joined in July, there
were some $4,000 Jews serving with
various armed forces in the Near
East, but that for the most part
they were doing static jobs and were
not in fighting units.
In addition, there are 5000 or T.
600 full-time workers among the
$4,000 home guardsmen and $4,000
Womens Auxiliary, territorial serv-
ice, he said.
Cazalet said he was not asking for
q separate Jewish army, but sug-
gesting that these men might serve
together as an integral part of the
British Army with a separate badge

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. g.
Whether newcomer to West Vir-

inent in Republican affairs will op-
pose Democratic Gov. Neely for the
United State Senate on November 3
remained in doubt today.
Only 1888 votes separated Ray
mond J. Funkhouser, Shepherds

bid for public ONCE in West Virginia,

So narrow was Mr.. Funkhouser's

2,788 precincts that the possibility
existed the outcome might not be
known until the county courts can
vass the ballots-a task they will

The 2,721 precincts gave Mr.. Funk
houser 47,103 votes to 1856 for Mr.
Revercomb, with Al OF the 81 miss

George Recommends
Overall Limitation
On War Profits
Contract Reneeotiotion
Plan Is 'UnworkobIe,
He Contends
B, the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Chairman George Of the Sen
ate Finance Committee expressed
the opinion today that Congress
ought to junk the present system
Of renegotiating military con-
tracts and establish an overall
limitation on war profits.
Senator Georges statement was
prompted by an appeal by Henry B.
Fernald of Montclair, N. j., for re-
peal of provisions of the law which
permit the Army and Navy to re-
negotiate contracts to scale down
profits.
Speaking for the American Min
ing Congress, the witness said this
provision created confusion and in
terfered with operations of the ex-
cess profits levies Of the tax laws.
Believed "Unworkable."
Senator George interrupted to say
that he believed that the renegotia-
ton provision was entirely un-
workable" adding that the commit
tee was going to have to deal with
question of its repeal.
Senator Taft, Republican, OF Ohio
suggested that this action be taken
in the pending new revenue bill.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Of
Michigan said he had been informed
that the Treasury, Army and Navy
had agreed on q system of oeduc-
tions where a company slready had
paid its taxes on profits which it
later lost by renegotiation of its
contracts.
II think there must be an overall
limitation on the profits on all war
contracts, both prime contracts and
sub-contracts," Senator George said.
I'VE can leave the excess profits tax
to operate on non-war contracts"
Interest in Sales Tax.
Before the committee met, Sena-
tor George had said that a good
many members were very much
interested" in sales tax in their
search for additional revenue.
Senators Vandenberg and Taft
displayed interest yesterday in
the testimony of Jay Iglauer. who,
on behalf OF the National Retail
Dry Goods Association, urged en-
actment of 5 per cent sales levy
on all types of goods, but not on
services, wages or rents.

Baku Rail Line Cut
In Caucasus Drive,
Nazi Chiefs Claim
Tikhoretsk Also Token
In Push From SoIsk,
Berlin Declares
By the Associated Press.
PERT.IN (Eron, CORN an

BERLIN (From German Broad
casts, Aug. 6.-Speedy mobile
formations of the German Army,
striking southwestward from
Voroshilovsk across the Kuban
River in the northern slopes of
the Caucasus, have cut the rail-.
way that winds from Baku to
the Black Sea, the German high
command said today.
At the same time, the communique
said, the Nazi forces which drove
westward from Salsk have captured
Tikhoretsk, the junction Of the Ros-
tov-Baku railway, and the Stalin-
grad-Krasnodar line 80 miles south
of ROStov.
Infantry Fans Out.
Mobile formations tanning out
northward from this point seized a
large section of the line running
toward Kushchevka, while infantry
forces are tanning out to the south,
it was declared.
tThe two westward drives from
Salsk and Voroshilovsk, stem
ming from the deep spearhead
driven almost to the Caucasus
mountains, indicated that these
forces, instead OF turning to the
east toward the Caspian, were
attempting to encircle Russian
forces still fighting along the
shores of the Sea of Azov and
still guarding the crossing from
the Kerch Peninsula)
The high command said the air
force was aiding in widening the
bridgeheads across the Kuban in the
Voroshilovsk area 180 miles south of
Rostov. Tank forces were carrying
forward the main attack, it was
said.
Nazis on Defensive.
Just south of the Don, the forces
which crossed at Tsimlyansk and
struck eastward toward Stalingrad
were declared to be making good
progress between the Don and Sal
Rivers.
But in the big Don bend where
another force is striking southeast
ward toward Stalingrad, the Ger
mans said they were engaged in
fierce defensive fighting" They
claimed Is Soviet tanks had been
knocked out
Heavy fighting was reported in
the Rzhev area, northwest of Mos
COW, where the Russians were said
to have lost % tanks in their fierce
attacks. In the Volkhov area south
of Leningrad the Russians also were
attacking.
