The first all-star game will be
played in the east on July 6, and
the second in the west on July Z. A
change in the all-star rule provides
, that no pitcher shall work more
than five innings, unless the game is
tied for finishing hurler. Previous
ly an all-star pitcher was limited to
three innings. 1t also was decided
that no pitcher working in the first
al-star contest shall be permitted
to perform in the second.
The possibility of playing twilight
ball in the majors was not discussed,
each league having decided sep
arately that it was purely a local
proposition.

Chinese coming through Burma to

dare, they often show their con-
tempt by applying insulting terms
to them that are right out Of the
Axis own book of words.
Authority for this Is Nom Ra-
jaw-ongse Semi Pramoj, the dap
per little Thailand Minister to the
United States, who speaks English
with the accent expected of a man
who Is brilliant graduate Of Ok
ford University.
"You perhaps remember" said
the Minister, that the Germans
have an epithet quite more brutal
than anything decent Americans
use. 1t is the contemptuous
'schweinhund' - literally pig dog
Well, our people, I am informed,
have now matched that.

VARY WORD MEANINGS
"They are enabled to do so, to
their own satisfaction and to the
myctiflcation Of the invaders, be-
cause ours is a very difficult lam
guage. The same word may be pro-
nounced different ways or with diff
ferent intonationS or accents and
each pronunciation, each infection,
each accent gives the same word
different meaning.
''Thus word might have six diff
ferent meanings. The Japs may
have sent with their invading forces
men who think they know the Thai
language, but 1t is doubtful they
understand everything.

gives the words a different inflec-
ton, 1t means-'dog of a friend
That's a pretty good substitute for
the German 'schweinhund.'
The Mir...gter begged Americans
to reserve judgment about his
country and not believe all the
stories about Thailanders warmly
welcoming the japanese and pro-
claiming themselves as allies of ia
pan.
He pointed out that as the Japs
had control Of the cable, the wire
less and the mails in Thailand, no
news could come out except such
as YVES passed by the censors Of
the "perddious Japanese"-his own
words for them-Japanese who, he
said, were proven liars in great

"Non-resistance; however, Is far
from welcoming them or being their
allies. Like Denmark, we were
simply helpless before superior force
and with no country able to come
quickly to our aid.
"A Jap-dominated puppet govern
ment could not possibly represent
the feelings of the people. We have
behind us record of 700 years OF
independent existence and are not
