For Heroisn
Bafaan Veterans
H0nored at Womens
Press Club Party

AS nine ARMY nurses received
blue ribbon citations yesterday for
heroic service in Bataan, Miss Mary
Beard, director of nursing services
of the American Red Cross, pointed
to the urgent need Of additional
nurses for the Nations armed serv-
ices.
Declaring that there are mot
nearly enough" nurses to take care
of requirements of the Army and
Navy. Miss Beard said that each
month 5000 eligible candidates are
AS essential as anything could be-
to the country's war effort.
The young women decorated were
the latest arrivals from the Philip
pine campaign, having landed in
New York last week after evacua-
ton to Australia from Corregidor
and Bataan.
The citations were presented at
a Women's National Press Club
luncheon-at an Army Nurse
Corps Day" program, as the presi-
dent, Christine Sadler, pointed out.
On hand to witness the cere-
mony and to share honors Of the
occasion we're the group of six
nurses who received similar cita-
tions last week-the first American
women decorated for bravery in
the present war.
Col Julia O. Flikke. superin-
tendent of the Army Nurse Corps,
made the introductions, while the
citations were presented by Col
L. L. Gardner. public relations
officer OF the Office of the Surgeon
General.
Col. Carlos P. Romulo, aide to
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, who is
now IN this country on special
mission. also was guest, paying
eloquent tribute to all who endured
the hardships of Bataan with mot
q whimper, not protest"
Recalling that those we have
left there" have also done a job
Col. Romulo suggested that mo
better tribute could be paid to these
nurses-or to them-than for the
people of America to search your
hearts and ask yourselves if
you have done as we'll"
Col. Romulo, whose. promotion
from lieutenant colonel came by
wire yesterday, concluded the pro-
gram by proposing toast to Gen.
Macarthur.

Ben Hogan. Both are playing at
the top of their great games,
whereas Byron Nelson, the pre-
tournament favorite, appears to
be threatened with one of his
rare slumpS.
1t is not like Nelson to hold a
4-up lead over a veteran like Joe
KirkWood - as he did yesterday
noon-and let himself be caught
on the 32nd hole. He snapped
out Of it to shoot a pair of quick
brides and beat Kirkwood, 2

dicted gloomily, himself, that
Snead and Hogan would fight it
out for the $4,000 first prize. He
could not afford many slips
against Harry Cooper, the Min
neapolis veteran, today.
Snead looked like a million
yesterday in trouncing Willie
Goggni, 9 and 8, and Ed Dud-
ley did not look like the man
to stop him today. Hogan like

Robinson Wins
by a Whisker
Decision over Servo
Draw Chorus Of Boos

NEW YORK, May % - (P) -
Ray Robinson still sports the
longest winning streak in re-
cent fistiC history today, but
only because a referee saw one
low punch where most ring
SiderS saw two - and booed.
There was no doubt about the
boOing by the 1858 customers
who sat in Madison Square
Garden last night, both when
the low punches were struck in
the second round, and again af-
ter the fight, when Robinson
was announced the winner of a
ten-round decision over baby
faced Marty Servo from Uncle
Sans Coast Guard.
The decision was the third in
row in the Garden to which
the fans didn't take kindly. Two
weeks ago, Allie Stolz tangled
with Sammy Angott for Sam
my'S lightweight crown, and
Sammy took the decision to a
chorus of booS. Last week,
Tami Mauriello got a draw with
Bob Pastor, although most folks
thought Rapid Robert finished
on top.
12l STRAIGHT WINS
The verdict for Robinson, by
a margin as close as ham and
eggs, gave Ray a winning string
of l2l straight fights - 80 as
an amateur and 80 as a pro.
It also established him as the
outstanding wclterweight in the
ring today, outshining even
Champion Red Cochrane, who is
i'm the Navy in California, and
qualified the skinny Harlem
hammer for a bout with Garvey
Young, the u. S. Marine title
holder from Akron, Ohio, in the
Garden June IL.
However, without the ref
crce'S penalty in the second
round, Ray would have had
lot tougher time winning from
the Schenectady sluggcr who
carried the fight to him all the
way.

Play Away from

BY HUDSON BAILEY

The Boston Red Sox come
close to being the worst road
team in the major leagues and
this malady, which has kept
them from resembling pennant
contenders in the past now has
placed even their first division
berth in jeopardy.
The Red Seekers are a real
first class outfit in Fenway Park
at Boston. It's only when they
venture away from those friend
ly fences that they stumble.
The Cronin clouters were
stopped 81 by the Washington
Senators at the capital last night
and now have lost IL of their
last II encounters, all but three
away from home.
NEARLY IN FIFTH
This slump, which contrasts
with BOSton's feat in winning IA
of its first q games while play
ing mostly at home, has dropped
the club within a game of the
birthplace St Louis Browns.
Another result Of this contest
was the loss of the American
League batting leadership by
Bobby Doerr, who had been hit
ting above 400 till this week.
Last night he dropped to .379,
three points behind Joe Gordon
of the New York Yankees.
Gordon extended his current
hitting streak to 13 games yes
terday and won a 80 decision
for the world champions over
the Philadelphia Athletics by
rapping a single with the bases
loaded and the score tied in the
ninth.

Leadership Lack

LOS ANGELES, Aug. CUP) :
The key to victory in the Pacific
lies in Alaska and the Aleutians
islands, Maj. Alexander p De Sc
verskr, aviation expert, said in an
address last night.
Through short sighted leader
ship we find ourselves in the posi-
ton of trying to regain our own
islands from the Japs, De Sever
sky stated. -
Pointing out that Brigadier Gen
eral Billy Mitchell, early advocate
of air power, urged use of the is
lands Is years ago, he said blows
should be struck at the heart of
Japan instead of her outlying bases.
BY land based bombers in Alaska,
We could send day and night raid
ers over and pound Japan into
rubble without the necessity of tax
ing all the islands back step by
step.
I'VE should Immediately carry
the war to the enemy by building
an air force Of terrific power. BY
doing that we can soften up the
enemy SO well that we won't have
to attack them by land or sea-" De
Seversky said
