NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Aug.
29.-All the Navy is interested

Navy's Women'S Auxiliary Vol

derwood, commanding officer,
said today:
"All the Navy regulates in the
way of clothing is what can be
seen. Whether a WAVE wears
a girdle depends on her personal
desire-and how she'll look in a
uniform without one.
Whether she wears silk or
cotton underwear is her own
business.
Nor does the Navy care
whether she sleeps in pajamas

plant. Studies OF normal lnduStrlal
hazards had been based on the
premise that all employees were
good" The agents had to assume
what would happen if that weren't
true.
Primary responsibility for protec-
ton of vital facilities rests with the
owner and operator. OCD does not
intend to set up any guard force to
do that job for them. In all parts
of the program, when the Army de-
cides to move in, the facility Sc
curity branch moves out.
The first great test OF what had
already been done came on Decem-
ber 7 when the so-called action
committees" flashed instructions
across the country to alert the
management of all vital facilities.
Management was told to tighten
protective measures, restrict areas,
refuse admittance to plants except
on proved missions, escort visitors,
establish 24-hour guard duty and to
communicate all suspicious circum-
stances to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
More Authority Needed.
Many of the agencies, however,
were beginning to feel they needed
special authority to do the job they
had to do. On May 10, the Pres
ident issued his executive order di-
recting the OCD to assure the de-
velopment and execution of pro-
tective measures against sabotage
and other destructive acts or omis-
sions, supplementing the protective
programs of the Army, Navy and
Federal Power Commission, and
working with the other Govern
ment agencies already in the pro-
gram, all to be done in conjunc-
ton with and subject to approval
of the Secretary of War.
In the meantime Congress mad
appropriated more than $4,000, 900
to various agencies earmarked for
the facility security program and
other funds to be used for the gen.
eral purpose of protecting vital
Government owned structures
| against war hazards.
AS part of the program, the Army
agreed to give special course at
Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, under the di-
rection of Maj. Melvin Purvis, for
mer FBI agent. Two classes of
anti-sabotage experts have already
gone through the school, taking an
intensive four-week course that
keeps them on the job from 6 am.
to 10 pm.
There they get actual experience
in sabotage techniques and meth
ods OF making bombs and other
sabotage devices. They learn how
to make an incendiary pencil them
selves, to survey facilities for sabo-
tage possibilities, learn effective pro-
tective measures such as guard as

lights, identification systems and
various devices to record the pres

Frantic Fourth
Just ! Scores
Shy Of Mark
Only Six Hits Made
In Big Round; Tribes
Lead Cut to Come
BY JUDSON BAILEY.
Associated Press Sports Writer

Big innings are one of the COM
monest occurrences in baseball and
well known sucker bet" is that
the winning team in any game will
score more runs in one frame than
the losing team will in the entire
game.
However, not many innings will
compare with the frantic fourth at
Cincinnati yesterday when the Reds
Tailed IL times against the New
York Giants to come within two
runs of the modern major league
record.
Up till this explosion the puny
Reds had not made a hit off Bill
MCGEE and were trailing 10 be-
cause OF homer by Willard Mar
shall in the second inning. They
made only six hits in the big blow
up, too, but they scored nine runs
before the Giants got a man out,
everybody in the batting order came
to the plate twice and they still had
the bases loaded at the finish.
Four Runs Are Forced In.
Everything happened, including a
triple by Eddie Joost with the bases
jammed. three vital errors and four
walks Three runs were forced in
by passes and another by a hit
batsman.
After MCGEE and Hugh East were
unable to retire any of the Reds.
Harry Feldman was sent to the
scene and even though he proved
little If any better than his prede-
cessors, Manager Mel OFT recognized
the futility of the situation and left
him on the mound until the end.
This eventually came in the form
of a 15-4 score and 35-year-
Rookie Ray Stars second victory.
He allowed eight hits.
In the only other National League
game, the Pittsburgh Pirates pulled
within half game of the pace
setting Brooklyn Dodgers by nosing
out the Boston Braves, 2-1, in a
pitching duel between Bob Klinger
and Jim Tobin, each of whom per.
mitted six hits.
The Pirates opened the scoring in
the sixth with a run on two singles
sandwiched around a sacrifice The
Braves knotted the count in the top
half of the ninth ON Ernie ,Lom-
bardi's double and a pinch single by
Clyde Kluttz, but the Bucs retail
ated with another run on, IN error
and singles by Vince Di Maggie and
Elbie Fletcher.
Bosox Clip Tribe Again.
Cleveland's lead in the American
League was shortened to one game
as the Boston Red Sox took their
second straight decision from the
Indians, 11-8. The Sox were outhit,
15-11, and three of the Tribes blows
we're home runs, but Boston man
aged to score six times in the first
three innings and hold a lead the
entire way. Dick Newsome was
batted out in the eighth. yet re-
ceived credit for his fourth victory
without a defeat.
The New York Yankees crushed
the Chicago White Sox again, 6-l,
punching five runs In a big third
inning and keeping the Chisox shut
out till the ninth, when an error
by Phil Rizzuto after two were out
opened up scoring chance. Spud
Chandler allowed just seven hits.
The Detroit Tigers maintained
their hold on second place by whip
ping the Philadelphia Athletics, 5-4,
with 12-hit attack led by Jimmy
Bloodworth. who accounted for two
runs with a homer and a single.

Handlers arriving here with the
Greentree horses yesterday were
still high on Devil Diver but not too
confident about Shut Out.
Must Reckon with Colchis.
OF course, the stable must figure
out beating a lot of other horses,
too, including Al Sabath's Alsab,
Emerson F. Woodward's Vandina
Orphan, second and third, respec-
lively, in the Derby, and several
others which ran out of the money
in the Kentucky classic.
They'll have to reckon also with
r. Sterling Clark's Colchis, which
wasn't nominated for the Derby, and
possibly with Warren Wright's Sun
Again, which was scratched. Colchis
is a certain Preakness starter, but
Sun Again is doubtful.
Trainer Ben Jones wasn't at all
pleased with the way Sun Again
shipped from Louisville yesterday.
He said glumly he felt the colt
still wasn't up to his best race and
that he hadn't decided yet whether
to send him out after the winners

CHICAGO, May 5.-One of the
few hits Rookie Lou Novikoff has
made this season has been a
tremendously big one with Cub fans.
Maybe it's that monicker-the
Mad Russian-that gets 'em. At any
rate loquacious Lou has got the boys
and girls about as goo-goo over him
as they were over Dizzy Dean a few
years back.
Some 10000 of his public roared so
loud and long for him Sunday that
Manager Jim Wilson decided 1t was
time to make him a regular or get
out of town. Today he was placed
in left field and listed fifth in the
batting order.

Wilson still is wearing cotton after
the fans gave him an earful. On
