SUB-CHASING SCHOOL
OPENS ON PIER

VI Ems YIN AAsAt
Miami is boiling with soldiers
and sailors, both American and
British. Thousands are barrack :
ed in hotels that used to house
sun seekers. The Army air force
has it's replacement center, its
officer candidate school and its
officer-training school on the
beach proper.
Pan American Always, I'M
der Government sponsorship, is
running a navigation school for
American and British filters at
the University of Miami in Cor
al Gables, and also a ferry pilot
school.
A submarine chasing school
has taken over an entire pier
and the Embry-Riddle Mechan-
ical School is turning out thou
sands of Army mechanics. A
short distance away, at Opa
Locka, is gigantic Navy base,
and Miami's office buildings are
crammed with Army, Navy,
Marine and Coast Guard opera
tons personnel.
The United States Govern
ment has done cleanup job
here that Miami's own city gov
eminent was somehow unable
to accomplish. A rigidly en-
forced curfew closes cafes and
bars at midnight sharp, with
further curtailment contemplate
ed. Gambling joints have been
closed, and definitely won't re-
open. There is every indication
that the horses won't be running
at Hialeah and Tropical Park
this winter, as result Of strong
feeling against Wastage in time
of war as we'll as the Army s
natural desire to remove temp
t, ton from easy reach of its

Production Program
Merits Optimism,
Carson Tells Co-opS

Despite the controversies within
the aWr Production Board and be-
tween the subordinates Of WPB
and the subordinates of the Office
of Price Administration, optimism
about the war production program
has replaced doubt and pessimism
of weeks ago, John Carson, Wash
ington representative of The Co.
operative League of the U. S. A,
told cOoperators in New YORK
Thursday evening, April 9, at a
meeting sponsored by Consumers
Cooperative Services at the Coop
Cafeteria, 1876 East 44th Street.
Carson said that the rather gen.
eral impression of he early days
of the war effort, tnat WPB was
just a great board of directors Of
a tremendous war and profit IN
austry, had disappeared and that
Donald eNlson, administrator o.
WPB, who once was a "dollar-a-
year-man," was showing more abii-
ity to sense the necessity of invit-
ing public participation in the
work of government, and war
agencies, than did some Of the
liberals with longer experience in
government.
81 even have hope that Mr.. Mel.
son may be among the first of the
government war afficials to recog-
nize and make use of the services
which cooperators could give to
the government and that he may
seek our help, help which we want
to give" Carson said.
Carson talked generally of the
inability of government officials, of
business men, and of practically
anyone and everyone in Washing
ton" to comprehend what the
phrase "all out war might mean.
He referred to the controversies
inside the War Production Board
and said the failures there to be-
come interested in the production
of steel and aluminium and rubber
were influenced by the same phil
osphy that influenced Britist ma
tionals in the Far East to refuse
~ burn their plantations and their
businesses.
Though there is apprehension III
Washington over what call out"
war will mean, Carson said, most
business men are counting On re-
turning to business as usual"
after the war is over and very few
recognize the fact that the national
economic set-up as we know it
now will have undergone drastic
changes by the end of the war.
In concluding his speech, Carson
pleaded for decentralization in
postwar planning. He said that
the job should not be directed by
one great central government
agency. He called for participation
by consumers, labor, farmers, fl
nance, industry and church organi-
cations in planning postwar re-
construction and urged the popular
support of the Voorhis- Wagner
Bill, which provides for the con-
struction of a Commission on Re-
construction made up of repres-
entatives of these various groups.

Complete cooperation by the
motoring public will insure their
having motor vehicles available

forestall drastic regulations which
might become necessary otherwise
Any such compulsory regulations
which might constitute serious ra-
tioning would disrupt our present
standards Of living and deprive
the public of the convenience that
has long been derived from the
automobile.
One of the measures adopted by
the Safety Council was to suggest
to the public that they double up
on the use of their automobiles by
grouping rides with neighbors.
This would serve two purposes,
reduce the wear of individually

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 7-(P- A
sadly smitten team of Detroit
Tigers came here today to do
battle with the st. Louis Browns
in what might have been a fight
for fourth place in the American
League except that the Chicago
White Sox had spoiled 1t all.
The Tigers, who open against
the Browns tonight with the
home team still three and half
games ahead, trailed in here
after having dropped the full
three-game series to Chicago in
exactly the sort of climax that
the White Sox doubtlessly loved.
Edgar Smith, a hard luck
pitcher for whom tn major
leagues have had no rival in
years. beat the Tigers yesterday
with a six-hitter, 4 to /, for
his third victory of the year. He
has lost II times.
Getting to AL Benton before
he was set, the White Sox
slapped him for I'll their runs in
the first inning and let Edgar do
the rest. Smith blankec the
Tigers until the eighth, when
Jimmy Bloodworth saved them
from a shutout with his tenth
home run of the secron.
1t was red letter day for
Smith. Often beaten before by
close scores, he won this one by
scattering Detroit's few hits,
walking only one man, and
striking out five. Smiths last
victories were over the New
York Yankees June Is and the
Washington Senators June IA.

Engaging Schwarzkoff in
what was virtually a practise
game for their coming playoff
tests, Leander Cafe knocked off
their opponent - who ended the
league season in the cellar last
night - by a 60 count in an
abbreviated tilt at st. Mary's
Stadium.
The clash also marked the end
of the regular schedule of play
for Leander, leaving them with
a mark of .667 on IL victories
and six defeats in led Softball
Division play.
Tony Trombley allowed the
losers only two hits for his best
performance of the year.
After both teams had scored
once in the second inning last
night, Leander took advantage
of four walks passed out by Bob
Larrabee in the third frame to
run up five runs. Two of the
tallies were pushed across by
Bob Klein's single.
The losers first run came in
the second after Earl Rau had
doubled and their second came
on a walk to Larabee followed
by two stolen bases and an err
ror on the throw to third.
Center fielder Bob Klein of
Leander was the only player on
either team to get two hits; he
had a .667 mark in three trips.

today as the National A. A. u.
outdoor championships settled
down TO serious business in the
Ocean Beach Park pool.
Nakama, sophomore at Ohio

sation of the indoor campaign,
was a top-heavy favorite to win
the one-mile race, while Smith,
who will enter the Columbus,
o., institution next month, was
favored the 220-yard free style
feature.
Keo set a fast pace yesterday
in leading six qualifiers in the
long distance event, covering the
mile in % minutes, III Sec
onds. This compares with the

Green of Texas A. g. M, Naka-
mas closest rival.
ELI COMPETITOR
Smith, the 220-yard free style
defending champion, may get
his major opposition from Alan
Ford of the Panama Canal zone,
now Yale freshman. Ford,
while a schoolboy at MERGERS
burg Academy last spring, per-
formed brilliantly in winning
the indoor title in this event.
Two other titles are to be set

and the 330-yard medley relay,
with new champions certain to
be named since neither diver
Earl Clark of Ohio State nor the

Ortiz Seeks
Bantam Title

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. 7
-R- CALIFORNIA; Manuel Or
tiz makes his bid for the BAN
tamweight championship of the
world tonight when he meets
the titleholder, veteran Lou Sa-
lica of New York, in 12-round
match before star studded
throng of Hollywoodites in the
Legion Stadium.
The two are closely matched.
Ortiz has youth and more speed,
but Salica, tough customer
when his title is at stake, packs
more experience. The champion,
at 20, is proud of the crown and
will receive $4,000 for defend
ing it.
Ortiz, IS, will get a mere
$3.50, which hardly covers train
ing expenses, but his reward
will be the title - if he can
take it. He also has the salts
faction of helping raise approx
imately $4,000 for a hletic
equipment for Army camps in
this section.
Ticket prices for the first title
fight in the Stadium's history
range from $1.10 to S8.50-and
all of Hollywood's glamor bril-
gade will be at the ringside.
Both fighters have heavy back
ing.
Salica outpointed Ortiz in
1889. Ortiz has learned plenty
since then. and has been beaten
but four times since he began
his professional career afte r
winning the National Golden
Gloves title at Boston as an
amateur in the flyweight class
in 1898.
