INDIANS NEW YORK
GIANTS
Meet in two Games

Followers of the Cleveland In
dians will get their first opport-
unity to get look at the 1912
edition of Ohios representative in
the American league on the COM
ing Saturday and Sunday after
Moons when the Tribe meets the
New York Giants of the Natio-
nal League in two games at
Cleveland.
The Indians and Giants. spring
rivals for the last ten years, will
play both their Cleveland games
at League Park. The Saturday
game will start at 2 o'clock and
the Sunday game at 3 o'clock.
A keen rivalry has been built
up between the Indians and the
Giants as result of their 10 Sc
ries of string battles and the
teams fight just as hard for vic
tories as though they were en-
gagged in championship play.
When the 1912 exhibition
schedule opened the Indians had
scored 48 victories, the Giants AZ
and five games had ended in ties.
The Indians have held the upper
hand this spring, however, and
although the first seven games
were close affairs.
Most interest in the two exhi-
bition games will be taken in the
appearances of l.. Fleming, the
slugging first baseman, and Orie
Hockett, and Hank Edwards, the
two new outfielders who are
locked in a close battle for the
job formerly held by GeraldWal-
ker. Fleming has been the sem
sation of the spring games.
After the Saturday and Sum
day exhibitions in Cleveland the
Indians rest Monday than open
the American league season Tues
day at Detroit. The Tribe opens
its home schedule on Friday,
April IL. at the Stadium with
the Chicago White Sox as their
opponents.

Evening star., 1942-11-20
BY HELEN LOMBARD.

Representatives of the Soviet
government in Washington have
followed the lead of Premier Joseph
Stain. After a few days of silence
in regard to the North African Of
fensive. they are now coming
through with congratulate to the
American officials with whom they
are in contact.
American lease-lend administra-
tors for Russia have had telephone
calls from Soviet officials extending
congratulations on the smoothness
of the operations and expressing
appreciation for the move toward
Europe.
Washington experts on Russian
affairs, while agreeing that the
Russians usually ask for more than
they expect to obtain, point out
that there are, nevertheless, more
than the obvious military reasons
behind Stalin's insistent demand for
second front in Europe. The North
African thrust, from the Russian
point of view, is just start in the
right direction.
Busy in Conquered Areas.
Stain is fully aware, as are the
British and American intelligence
services, that though the Axis army
is stopped before Stalingrad, the
Nazi special corps" and civilian
administrators are extremely active
in the conquered territories and are
making some headway.
Especially menacing to the U. S.
S. r. is the fact that while Hitler
seems to be content with the mill
tary domination and the economic
exploitation of Western Europe, he
is showing signs of Incorporating
the "Ostlands territories east
of Prussia, comprising the Baltic
States, Poland and White Russia
into the Reich.
The Nazi boast is that every Ger
man will be guaranteed a piece OF
land somewhere, and that some
where is in Eastern Europe. White
Russia already is under strict Nazi
domination. The economic and agri-
cultural policies are completely in
German hands.
Great efforts are being made to
develop every available resource.
The collective farms have been liqui-
dated and divided into strips to be
worked by individuals. The larger
state farms are being managed by
German agricultural experts. A
general commissar has been ap-
pointed to plan the whole economic
life of White Russia down to the
smallest detail.
The Nazi purpose in this particu-
lar part Of Europe is less to winning
of the people to the new order"
than the wholesale absorption of
the land into the Reich
The Germanization of Danzig and

propaganda than on the other &C
tivities.
The Dutch are being promised
large rewards for raising ships and
building docks at Nikolaev in the
Black Sea. Some Dutch farmers
have been transported into the
Ukraine and are being trained on
model farms at Rovno and other
localities to supervise native labor.
Though the overwhelming ma
jority of the Dutch hate the Nazi
rule, time is working with the Ger
mans in dragging numbers Of peo-
pie into their service.
The Nazis are making particular
efforts to bind Slovakia to the
Reich. More than ITO Nazi schools
have been opened in that territory
lately.
The Scandinavian block, while re-
sisting Hitler politically, is never
theless anti-communist. The Ger
manization of the Ostland, the rel
ative success of German propa-
ganda and economic control in
Western Europe and the anti-com-
munism of the Scandinavians are
enough to make Premier Stain feel
that the military stalemate at Stall
ingrad is not sufficient in itself and
that time is growing short.

Writer Suffers Conclusion
In Sea Battle Off Africa

BY the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Nov 20.-John
A. Moroso, Sd. 32-year Associ-

naval battles.
