unless they draft married men
with children I think baseball can
survive the war;" says President
Clark Grif1lth of the Mats. There
seem to be enough family men in the
major leagues, at least, to allow us
to keep going unless, of course, the
war effort needs those men.
"On our own club, for instance,
Sid Hudson and Bruce Campbell
are the only important fellows who
aren't married. They may get in
it and so may fellows like Mickey
Vernon and AL Evans, who are mar
ried but have no children.
Married men with no children
and married men with children are
way down the list according to the
plan they've adopted for calling 'em
up. They may need those classes
and if they do everybody connected
with baseball naturally wants them
to go.
Unless married men with chill
dren are called up, though, baseball
should be able to carry on as the
President suggested. We've had
pretty good crowds out to watch our
eighth place team and that ought
to be an indication the public wants
to see baseball I hope to give them
something better to look at.

 Washington, March i6--America's rubber shortage has given a field day to U. z. citizens with an An- ventive turn of mind.
 Every day aimee the spectre of tire rationing first loomed on the American hogiScn, the National Inc veators Council here has been nood- cd with inventions and suggestions for keeping trucks and cars rolling.
 The Council, an adjunct Of the Department of Commerce, was es1 tablished 6 year and 6 haH ago as a clearing house primarily for mile taxy inventions. Of the 5000 ideas It has received since thenA large proportion involve ways and means of whipplng the tire shortage.

 Curtin said that 1t might be characteristic of MaeArthur that instead of flying to Canberra from Melbourne he rose before dawn in order to drive the whole distance and thus inspect the terrain of part of the country which he must des fend.
 MacArthur told the Australians that his presence here was tangible evidence of the unity of the two countries against common foe.
 To Plan Operations

 MacArthur, 1t was indicated, will have q setup in which quick dee clsions will be possible on all prob- lems, of whatever moment.
 It was understood that after the completion of next weeks talks, Australia would name field and op- erational commanders for its own army, air force and navy, to work under MacArthur's direction. This will permit Australian forces to re- tain their identity while giving Mac- Arthur the fullest powers as su- preme United Nations commander in the southwest Pacific.
 This Is in keeping with American, as we'll as Australian tradition. Both countries insisted on this prin- ciple in the last war, 1t was pointed out.
 MacArthur's visit to Canberra marked the opening of the action phase of his leadership.
