is almost in your mitt before he
swings. I've never seen a hitter
who could wait longer before taking
his cut. Few can do this. Every
one is a little too anxious at the
bat and quick hitting or swinging
is a general fault. But not with
Ted Williams.
No Weak Spots
"Another thing about Williams"
Dickey continued, els that he has
no weak spots. We've tried every
thing against him-keeping them
bookkeeping them up-fast balls
and slow balls-curves and every
thing else. But his bat seems to
be in the road, no matter what he
is served.
Remember, Ted is still kid
around %, as recall it. There isn't
any telling how many records he
might have broken if there had been
no war.
"Joe DiMaggio is another great
hitter who knows how to wait on a
pitch. Joe also keeps pitcher at
work. He hits at few bad balls and
you never see him rushing any
swing. I've heard that good timing
was simply taking your time, and
that seems to fit both Williams and
DiMaggio."
Another Good Year
It might be noted here that the
Arkansas SHIPPER is apparently head
ed for another big year.
"I'm feeling physically better than
I have felt in a long time" Bill
said. ''I'd like to catch another hun
dred games again and I'd like to
get back in the 300 class"
1t might be remembered that
Dickey broke all major league rec
ords last season by catching 100 or
more games for the 18th time. He
came to the Yankees around 1928
and the tall Arkansas entry has been
mighty factor in the Yankee
march ever since.
Always a great hitter in the
clutches, Dickey's main success has
been in the matter of handling young
pitchers-or any brand of pitching.
You never see him excited or up
set, no matter what the crucial spot.
In the midst of wild and turbulent
innings Dickey remains cooler than
the heart of an iceberg.
His knowledge of rival batters is
astonishing. He can tell you the
weakness and strength of every hit
ter in his league.
His pitchers can take his judg-
ment in full confidence. He has a
soothing influence on the young en-
try, vital factor in the way of con-
troll.
''There is much more to pitching
than a strong arm, much more than
speed and a curve ball." he tells
you. ga big part of pitching is put
ting the ball where you want it. I've
seen more than few smart pitch
ers, with little left in the old arm,
tie up batters by fine control, pitch
ing to the right spots"
Bill figures the easiest job he has
is handling Red Ruffing.
Catcher Dickey can usually supply
the right spots. And if his pitchers
can only put the ball there they will
have little to worry about. This is
one of the reasons the Yankees have
turned loose so many good young
pitchers in the last few years, in
Guiding Donald, Russo, Bonham and
others.
"Red knows his job as well as any
pitcher l ever saw" Dickey says.
"You never see him ratified or wor-
ried. In addition to having all the
needed stuff he is both game and
smart and still will be one of the
main winners this season.

LYNN, Mass, Nov. 3.-Police be-
gan an intensive search today for

To Add Five More
School Is Inspected by
OAR Officials Who
Provided Space

Blue-eyed Ralph, aged 2, had an
experience this morning that many
Washington children may have be-

sery school for the first time while
his mother reported for work at her
new job.
Ralph's mother took him to the
new Red Cross nursery school that
opened yesterday in the National
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton Building. The child cried when
his mother left him. Then he met
Mrs. R. M. Watson, one of the Army
and Navy wives helping to run the
nursery. Mrs. Watson had smile
like his mothers. She let him clutch
the big jeweled buttons on her
brown suit and suggested going into
the garden to hunt for acorns.
In the nursery he found dozens
of stuffed animals-bears, pandas,
cats and dogs. Before long he was
a veteran nursery schooler.
Five to Join Later.
Playing in the nursery school
garden today were nine other chill
dren of war workers and service
men. The Red Gross home service

for at the nursery and in few days

Most of them arrive around 8 am
and are picked up by their mothers
on their way home from work be-
tween and pm.
This nursery is one of the first in
the city to be opened in response to
widely discussed needs for care OF
children of employed parents, Plans
for a city wide public school system
of daytime care have begged down
while the Senate District Committee
debates the ACCESSIBILITY of repeating
legislation forbidding care of chill
dren under in school buildings.
The only other new child at the
nursery school this morning was
4-year-old Jimmy, Ralph's brother
The other eight had been there yes
terday and managed a veteran calm

iaries. The wife of Col. Howard

Commissioners Abandon
Plans for Hospital Report

The Commissioners today informed
the Senate they will not submit a
report on the local hospital situation
inasmuch as the summary filed last
week by the Federal Works Agency
contains all the information the
Commissioners would be able to
provide.
A Senate resolution Of October 10
called for reports from the FWA,
the United States Public Health
Service and the Commissioners. The
FWA report was received by the
Senate last Thursday and the Public
Health survey yesterday.
The TWAS report summarized the
program now in progress to alleviate
the critical hospital shortage in the
Metropolitan Area and informed the
Senate the expansion program is
scheduled for completion next sum-
mer. The report of the Public
Health Service emphasized the
growing shortage of nurses and
trained hospital personnel and added
that no means of solving this prob
lem was yet in sight.

Census Workers
Fight Maryland
Income Taxes
Group at Suitlond
Organizes to Resist
State Levy

Federal employees working in the
new Census Bureau Building at
Suitland, Md, have started an Or
ganized movement against payment
of the Maryland State income tax, 1t
was disclosed today.
An Employees Committee, ap-
pointed by the Census Bureau Rec
reational Association with the ap-
proval of Census Director Capt, will
appear before the Maryland Tax
Revision Commission to express the
opposition of Census Bureau workers
whose homes are in the District to
the payment of the State income
taxes. The commission will meet in
December to consider revenue pro-
posals to be submitted to the State
Legislature in January.
The Census Bureau committee
consists of Jack Robertson, Roger
Hem and Helena O'Neill.
Through officials of the Budget
Bureau, Gov. O'Conor has already
been notified of the opposition of
Federal workers to the payments of
Maryland income taxes. Because of
.he increasing revenues of the State,
Gov. O'Conor has made known his
intention of asking the Legislature
ct the next session to reduce State
income tax rates.
About 5000 Federal workers are
now employed at the Suitland build
ing. Leaders of the strike" hope to
obtain 1000 signatures to an agree
-nent not to pay the Maryland in
come taxes. The work of obtaining
shese signatures is now under way.
Maryland authorities have ruled
that any one who earns his salary
n the State must pay the income
tax. This ruling, it is pointed out,
would subject thousands of Federal
workers, in, the Census Bureau and
other agencies with Offices in Mary
land to double taxation.

Commissioner Mason revealed to-

transportation in connection with
their work, but added he was not

The Commissioner wrote Price Ad-

want nurses classified on the same
basis with doctors so they can get
tires and other privileges essential
to proper performance of their work.
This is war, and these nurses play
vital part in it."
Classification of nurses as defense
workers is considered by Mr.. Mason,
as we'll as local medical interests, to
be one of the three major solutions
to the nurse shortage problem. The
other two are provision of adequate
