PHILADELPHIA, Sept. f2.-John-
ny Beazley, star rookie right-hand
pitcher of the st. Louis Cardinals,
suffered laceration of the right
thumb in scuff1e with an uniden-

Police said the assailant, a colored

Manager Billy Southworth of the
Cardinals said Beazley's wound was
slight" but added the incident
could have been serious" Beazley,
Southworth said, probably will be
able to pitch one of the Cardinals

Southworth said he did not see
the incident, but other members of
the team told him the stranger ap-

bag. When Beazley refused, the
man began reviling him and then
pulled out knife and slashed the

Allied Airmen Drop
26 Tons Of Bombs on
Jap New Guinea Base
At Least u Enemy PIones
Destroyed on Ground
In Bunu Assaults
BY the Associated Press.


GEN, MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, Sunday,
Sept. 13.-Allied heavy and me-
dunn bombers, escorted by fight
ers, struck one of the heaviest
blows yet delivered in the Pacific
yesterday when they blasted the
japanese INVASION base, Buna,
in Eastern New Guinea with 26
tons of bombs and more than
$4,000 rounds of cannon and
machine-gun fire, a COM
munique said today.
In four bombing attacks, followed
by seven strafing runs, the Allied
airmen destroyed at least II jap
anese planes on the ground, in dis
persal bays and on the runway of
an airdrome from which the enemy
had been operating in the drive
against Port Moresby.
All anti-aircraft positions in the
area were silenced, the communique
said.
Little Action In Mountains.
Meanwhile, there was little action
in the Owen Stanley Mountains
where the japanese have advanced
to little more than 40 miles from
Port Moresby, the big Allied base
owen Stanley action was limited
to patrol activity" the communique
said.
However, one jungle fighting Allied
unit ambushed an enemy patrol in
that rough terrain and inflicted 20
casualties with only minor losses tc
the allies.
The attack on Buna was a con-

lost since the big raids began in
mid-August.
While these futile air attacks were
made by day, Japanese destroyers
prowled off shore by night shelling
the United States positions "but no
damage has resulted" the COM
munique said.
On their own account, American
dive bombers made another attack
yesterday on enemy installations
on Gizo Island, In the western part
of the New Georgia group of the
Solomons, sinking a small ship
and blasting buildings. The Ameri-
cans had made a previous attack
there September 6.
The communique also reported
that the Japanese were supplying
their troops still fighting in the in
terror of Guadalcanal, using small
boats which can sneak ashore un-
detected at night, but that the
Marines, supported by dive bombers
and fighters, Continued to seek out
and engage" these units.

Grocers Short of Canned Goods

The canned goods cannot be

OPA is expected to act shortly,
within two weeks at the most. If

say. just how much price increase
will be allowed has not been de-

British Are Reported
Only 10 Miles From
Madagascar Capital
130-MiIe Advance Claimed
By London; Heavy Toll
inflicted, French Say
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-British
forces pushing inland from the
Majunga landing on Madagascar
were reported only 10 miles from
Tananarive today after q 130-
mile advance, but French re-
ports said "the enemy" had been
engaged en- route with very
heavy losses" inflicted and that
the going would be tougher over
200 intervening barriers before
the capital.
The considerable progress" re-
ported by the first communique from
the British East African command
said the drive had carried to the
great bridge over the Betsiboka
River, but that a concurrent over
land advance from the north had
been slowed by the French destruc-
toin OF bridges.
The Vichy troops, mostly con-
centrated outside the capital, made
their stand at the confluence of the
Ikopa and Betsiboka rivers where
the British forces must turn up the
Ikopa valley to reach Tananarive by
the best route. the French said.
Three Major Landings.
The first battle was joined yes
terday in the vincinity of Maeva-
tanana, some 80 miles down the road
from Majunga, where the British
made one of their three major west
coast landings Thursday and ad-
vanced swiftly with negligible op-
position.
A broadcast from Tananarive,
heard at Port Louis on the Brit
ish island of Mauritius east of Mad
agascar, was less sanguine than the
reports from Vichy, declaring the
French still were resisting" at 8 80
am. today and "at $3.50 pm. de-
tachment of our troops still is hold
ing out at Maevatanana.
The British will have to over
come some 200 barriers stretched
across their path between Maeva-
tanana and Tananarive," the COM
munique said.
British commentators had ex-
pected the Vichy defenders to put
up some resistance but official ad-
vices here told only of small efforts

Ex-Gov. Brann Holds
Only Chance 10 Win
For Maine Democrats
Republican Sweep Of
All Other Races Seen
As Almost Certain
BY GOULD LINCOLN,

PORTLAND, ME-, Sept. IL
Brann is the big Democratic bet
in Maine today. Most of the
Democrats are willing to admit
they have not much, or any
chance, to win the governorship,
the Senate seat now occupied by
Senator White, Republican, or
the House seats in the I'd and Sd
Districts-indeed, they have no
candidate in the Sd District.
But when it comes to the 1st
District, in which Portland lies,
they insist that former Gov.
Louis J. Brann is going over.
Whether Mr.. Brann will win
however, will be determined by the
voters Monday, when they go to the
polls. The former governor is run
ming against Robert Hale, Repub-
lican, cousin of former Senator
Frederick Hale and nephew of the
late Senator Eugene Hale. Hale is
a tough name to 60 up against in
Maine. Mr.. Hale is no novice in
politics. He served in the State
Legislature for four terms and in
the last, in 1929, was speaker of the
House.
Mr.. Brann is stressing in his cam
paign the war issue-with a plea
to the voters to send to Washing
ton member of Congress who will
back President Roosevelt to the
limit.
He is ringing the charges con-

Resources Body Urges
End Of Restraints in
Building Industry
Need for Million Homes
Euch Year for Decade
After War Foreseen
BY the Associated Press,


The National Resources Plan
ming Board recommended yes
terday the immediate removal of
restraints within the house
building industry by changing
Federal antitrust and racket
eering laws and strengthening
their enforcement In prepara-
ton for an extensive home
building program after the war.
In a study of the home construc-
ton outlook after the war, the board
said the Nation could use 9000 900
to 100000 new houses each year
for decade following the con-
f1ict. The bulk OF the new homes,
the board advised. should be within
the means of the lower middle in
come group and available to "the
farms, the small towns, and the
independent, non-metropolitan cities
as well as the metropolitan areas"
This broad demand would make
possible the development of a vast
industry through factory production
of panels and other units needed
in home construction. the board
said. Moreover, the home building
industry would need drastic reor-
ganization and reorientation of It's
market viewpoint"
Long Range Planning Body.
The board was created in 1899
to recommend long-range plans to
the President and Congress for full
est use of the country's resources.
It's chairman is Frederic A. Delano,
uncle of President Roosevelt.
TN an effort to protect them
selves against the uncertainties of
the market and the weakness of
management" the board said, sub
contractors in the separate trades
frequently enter into agreements to
maintain prices and control the
distribution of work. Suppliers of
material do the same thing. Often
subcontractors and suppliers, and
sometimes the materials manufac-
turers as well, all join in protective
combinations.
Labor, following a similar course
where 1t can, establishes its own
restraints and, to solidify its
position. often joins with the sub
contractors combination acting,
through strikes and boycotts, as
the enforcing agent. -
THE removal of industrial re-
straints Is an obvious first step
toward industrial expansion"
