ShamrOCkS Trim
Hyattsville
For HOlOChWoSt

Magruder Park, Hyattsville,
June 14-Vincent Holochwost's
swan song struck a triumphant
note in today's game. The depart
ing manager pitched brilliant ball,
in applying the whitewash to Hy-
attsville's Police Boys Club, while
his Shamrocks scoren 10 big runs.
Holly Honored
The Greenbelt band made a
surprise visit to Magruder Park to
give the big left-hander a rousing
send-off. Just before the game,
while the band played, Holly was
presented with a fountain pen
from the Prince Georges County
League. On the bench, during the
game, his team mates gathered
around him and gave him wrist
watch as token of their esteem.
For four innings it was a score
less duel between Holly and Bill
Bowers. In the fifth frame the
Shamrocks, benefitting by four
free passes, three errors, and two
hits, staged a seven run spree.
Andrus, Davis Slug
The Big Green added three more
runs in the eighth on some robust
hitting by Julie Andrus and
Wayne Davis. This pair took all
hitting honors for the day; Andrus
getting a single and double, while
Davis collected three singles and
a double. 1t was the second time
this season for Davis to bang out
four hits in a single game.
Mcdonald Alert
Holochwost, who had struck
out six, walked three, and had per-
mitted but five hits, weakened in
the ninth canto and gave up
three more hits and a run. The
run, however, was nullified when
Collins failed to touch third base
on his way home, and the alert
Micky Mcdonald called his hand TO
the umpire, thereby keeping ali

On the Second Front
Cincinnati Enquirer

Premier Joseph Stalins statement interview with an American newspaperman on the subject of
 second front does little to carfy the relations of the United Nations this critical point of war strategy
 The Russian leader took advantage of the oppor- tunity presented by Associated Press Reporter Henry c. Cassidys questions to underscore once more the importance of second front as means of aiding the Soviet. And of late Staln has missed few such opportunities. The tone of Russian press comment and dispatches from Moscow and Kuibyshev while guarded in expression has been such as to make It plain that the Kremlin regards second front as the sine qua non of United Nations aid to the em- batted Soviet Stalins visitors-the latest Wendell Willke-have borne from him the emphatic idea that Russia wants most of all the relief from Ger man pressure that only full-scae military diversion afford.
 In the light of all this Stan's note to Mir Gas sidy that second front occupies "a very important place, one might say place of first-rate impor- tance, in Soviet estimates of the current situation seems almost amusing understatement of fact More to the point, of course the Russian Premers assertion that, compared with the aid which Russia is giving to the Allies by drawing upon herself the main force of the German Army, the aid being given Russia by the Allies is little effective"
 Most observers, however, still are left in the dark to just what Stalin is insisting upon at this ment. He asserted, in his note to MT Cassidy, that "ony one thing is required: that the Allies fulfill their obligations fully and on time"
 By obligations does Premier Stalin mean tual commitments or merely undertakings which ought to be done in behalf of the Soviet Union? There can be no reasoned judgment on this score, naturally, by anyone outside the high councils of the United Nations But there is at least slight implication, in the reference to filling obligations fully and time" that there has been substan- tia agreement by the United States and England second-front schedule. It is quite possible that the Soviet leaders exertng their pressure to forestall any tendency to delay the schedule. As far that is concerned, it is possible too that the Russians calling for the second front in advance of the date actually promised, if a date has been promised by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill.

According to Representative A. S. Mike Mon roney, Oklahoma, the number of men now serving in the U s. armed forces is about 25 percent more than during the last war, the number employed in industry 10 percent greater, and, the number on the payroll of the Federal Government 258 per cent over the number employed during the last World War.
 total of about 2,571,5OO persons are now en- ployed by the national government state and local governments take another 3017632, increase of 100 percent in the latter case.
 Total them up and you have more manpower than at present being utilized by the armed ices. It is apparent that the drain manpower is much more noticeable among the many bureaus than as a result of being called into the army or into war industries when compared to conditions in the last war
 Some congressman seem to have the opinion that they lessening the gap between here and victory by forming as many new super-super war boards as possible.
 Just recently a special House committee headed by Representative John H Tolan, California, urged reshuffling of all of the top agencies under new super agency which would be known the Office of War Mobilization This organization would include all of the other little bureaus such as the WIPE the OPA, etc, and deal out the policy
 What we're trying to figure out is what hap pened to the agency known as the OEM or the Off, flee of Emergency Management. Theoretically, this outfit the big noise-the super-agency to end all super-agencies The OEM included under it all, practically all of the top war bureaus.
 Congressman Tolan and the like, seem to be playing game of seeing just how many war agen- cies they build top of the other agencies before the whole stack tumbles over And every time another such agency is created another many

NO PUBLICITY BARUCH

But most significant possibility re- garding this new Willkie route is its use for sending supplies quickly to China and Russia. At present it is no secret that planes to China go by a circutous globe-straddling route via Brazil, Africa, India, then over the Himalayas, highest mountains in the world, taking ten to fourteen days. On the other hand, Willkie left China one day and popped up in Alaska almost the next

thousand Americans begin tapping up the appointments.
 Congressman Monroney, on the other hand points out the relation of the many new bureaus to the stated shortage of manpower when he says: Each branch and bureau is reaching out and build ing up it's overhead and staff without an meas of essentiality. To large extent, the Govern ment is creating it's own manpower problem"

are worried about postwar compe- tition.
 Latest holdup of new mineral pro- cesses has been WIPES blocking of iron and steel development in the West and South through the cheap, quick, sponge-iron process.
 With the nation desperately short of iron and steel, it is now revealed that as early as last June Secretary Ickes pleaded with Donald Nelson not to accept the sponge iron veto of the experts in the National Acad- emy of Sciences.
 ACADEMIC ACCOMPLISHING
 This National Academy of Sci ences is an organization which could stand some scrutiny. It has set up committees to advise the WIPE on iron, manganese, aluminium and most strategic materials. However, both Ickes and Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming have charged that these committees were mere academic window dressing for the big metal companies.
 For instance, one Academy report written for the WIPE opposing sponge iron was actually authored, accord ing to Senator OMahoney, by Will liam A. Haven, Vice. President of Arthur G. Mckee and Company manufacturers of blast furnaces. How a manufacturer of blast furn- aces could be expected to be im- partial regarding a new iron process which does away with blast furnaces is hard to understand.
 Representative of big business are packed on other WIPE subcom- mitees which pass on new methods of g citing strategic materials methods which frequently compete with long -entrenched big business methods. Here are some of them
 Dr. John Johnson, Director of Re- search for U. s. Steel Corporation.
 Fay Jeffries, of General Electric; formerly with Aluminium Company He sits on the committee passing on new aluminium methods, which compete with ALCOA.
 M. F. Mcconnell and Robert B. Sosman, U. S. Steel Corporation.
 R. s. A. Daugherty and Charles H. Herty, Jr, Bethlehem Steel.
 The advice of these able men is important. In fact, Dr. c. K. Leith, WIPE metallurgical adviser, says: These are eminent scientists whose reputation is at stake, and they hesitate a long time before recom- mending changes" But it is signifi- cant that Clyde Williams, when he was with the U. s. Bureau of Mines, recommended that sponge iron was feasible, whereas now that he is with the Battelle Institute, financed by the steel companies, he advises against sponge iron.

EVANSTON, H., Oct. 24.-Police followed several avenues of in- vestigation today as they intensi- fled the search for the slayers of Mrs. Lillian Calvin, wife of a wealthy radio manufacturer, and her maid, who were shot to death in the Calvin home Thursday night.
 Capt. Daniel Gilbert, of the Unit ed States Attorneys office, said jewels valued at $28,O0O are miss ing.
 One possibility being studied is that the slayers might be mem bers of the notorious Roger Touhy gang who escaped from the State vile prison two weeks ago.

WHY MATERIALS ARE SCARCE

Some day Congressional inVesti- gating committee may do thorough job on the tragic way in which pro- duction of strategic war materials has been held back, unwittingly or otherwise, by certain big industries and their S1-a-year friends in the WIPE. If ever fully published, the story will amaze the public.
 The Aluminium Company of Am erica and its $l-a-year friends in WIPE didn't want to develop low grade aluminium clays in the U. s. A, insisted on importing it's own clay across the submarine-infeste Caribbean.
 The British-American tin cartel and WIPE friends long opposed con struction of a tin shelter in the United States which might break the tin monopoly after the war.
 Friends in the big steel companies on WIPE opposed the development of manganese in the Far West, because, according to Secretary Ickes, they

 Benefic aspects dominate today but adverse influences are active. It should be a fortunate date for initiative.
 HEART AND HOME: Innumer- able ways of helping the war will be discovered by patriotic women. This is a favorable date for the preparation of warm clothing for war victims in Europe and Asia. Needs of unfortunates in this coun- try also should be met wisely and unremittingly. The stars presage suffering for women and children in American cities. Inasmuch as the United States is to set the so- cial and political standards for the postwar world it is imperative that we should apply our Humanitarian theories at home as well as abroad.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo- gers who predict drastic alteration
  in banking methods as indicated by the stars foretell form of eco- monies which will insure close CO., operation between employers and employees. Class consciousness will be eliminated as equality of oppor- tunity, according to the ability and training of men and women, is assured. No monopoly of ma chimes or raw material would be permitted.
