u. 5. Action Expected
As PetriI|o Music
Ban Takes Effect
AIM Public Recordings
Cease, but Disc Stocks
Are Reported Large

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Jame
Caesar Petrillo's ban on the maxim,
Of musical recordings and trans
crtp.ions for public use went int
effect today, but, thanks to the ex.
panded stocks, the public won't fee
It until todays songs start grating
on the ears.
The stocky. blunt-speaking presi
dent of the American Federation OF
Musicians (AFL) killed the last
hope that the ban might be re.
scinded when he advised Elmer
Davis, director of War Information
last night that the order would be
carried out.
Mr.. Davis had appealed to Pc
trillo to cancel the ban as pa
triotic duty" pointing out the tonic
effect of music on public morale, and
similar appeals had come from At
torney General Biddle and Chair
man James L. Fly Of the Federal
Communications Commission.
U. S. May File Suit.
But Mr.. Petrillo wrote Mr.. Davis
II cannot grant your request. ."
You have been absolutely misin-
formed throughout"
There were indications that on
cial action to fight the order was
near. Attorney General Biddle au-
thorized a suit to seek an injunction
against enforcement of the order
some time ago, and the New York
Times said the suit would be filed
In Chicago either today or Monday.
Mr.. Petrillo declared the stoppage
was ordered in an effort to put more
union musicians to work; that many
among his $4,000 members were
idle because OF the use OF juke
boxes by dance halls and record
ings by radio stations throughout
the United States and Canada.
The union head said records for
public use comprised 95 per cent
of the music heard in both coun-
tries.
Record Stocks Large.
: Mr.. Petrillo said in his letter to
Mr.. Davis that the musicians union
would continue to make recordings
"for the armed forces or for the
President of the United States" He
also stressed that his order did not
apply to the making of records for
home consumption. although the
manufacturing companies would
have to guarantee that the records
would not be used commercially.
The companies contend this is i'm
possible because, once a record Is
sold, there Is no way to restrict its
use.
Radio stations playing recordings
will continue to use records on hand
and they have thousands-andr re-
placements probably will be avail
able for damaged discs recorded
before today.
Thus. the public will not begin to
feel the ban until 1t starts asking
for recordings of songs published
after today.
Recording companies said they
had good supplies of current records,
probably enough to last a year.

over and over, thrashing. rolling,
seeming sometimes to burrow into
the softer mud as they came near
the water.
The gorilla was straining the
lions spine now, bringing it 10 the
breaking point. And at the throat
the great teeth were bringing
forth squirting weller Of crimson.
TORN APART
Such a fight between titans is
over in a matter of long seconds.
From navel dow ward the
gorilla was torn apart by those
rear claws of the lion, shredded TO
cory ribbons of flesh.
But on the other side OF the
ledger the destruction was just as
mortal.
A sudden sidewase, yard-long
squirt of the lions carotid artery
came almost simultaneously with
the crunching CRATE of sliding
vertebra in the spine--the break

That was when the spasmodic
movements of the lions back legs

quivered all over, then lay still.

NEW YORK, May 2 -(A')-
Charley Gehringer, who was
the sphinx of second base for

now is going through the mo-
tons of being a first base coach

Walter o. Briggs idea of a
monument to a passing era.
Charley wanted TO retire last
winter, but the millionaire own
er of the Tigers prevailed upon
him to stand out there on the
field in his familiar No. 2 uni
form, so the fans could con-
tinue to see him.
The slender, affable Gehrin-
ger knows he does not have the
vocal equipment to be a train
announcer and he joshes right
back when rival players start
yelling at him to quiet down.
In one Spring game he re-
piled to jibes of Mickey Yer
non, Washington's first base
man, by saying, IF my chatter
bothers you too much, Mickey,
you can complain TO the UNI
pire."
Gehringer was not ehthusi-
astic about a coaching job when
the matter was first preached,
but now he feels differently.
This is the greatest job
ever had he said today. Be

Now that Manager frankie
Frisch of the Pittsburgh Pr
rates has been chased out of his
own park, the major league
baseball season can be consider
ed officially under way.
Frisch, who sometimes resorts
to pantomine when umpires
aren't impressed with words,
was waved to the showers by
Larry Goetz in the ninth inn
ing yesterday, but the Pirates
went on to beat the Brooklyn
Dodgers, TO, and snap a six
game winning streak for the Ma
tional League champs.
BEATS OUT HIT
The score was tied at Sail
when Billy Herman beat out
an infield hit and Arky Vaughan
sent him home with a double.
Goetz called Herman safe on
close play at the plate and
catcher Al Lopez bounced the
ball on the ground, threw his
mask in one direction and his
mitt in another. Frisch bound
ed out of the dugout as other
Pittsburgh players hurled towels
into the air and coach Jake
Flowers joined the huddle at
home plate.
AS usual, however, the UNI
pire won, the Dodgers got their
run, and Frisch, Lopez and
Flowers took early showers.
AS the game resumed without
the Pirate trio, Brooklyn was
retired and Johnny Allen took
over the mound, the fourth bod
ger hurler of the game. Then
the Dodgers proceeded to hand
the game right back to the BUGS.
LOAD THE BASES
A single and two walks load
ed the bases before Allen fan
ned Johnny Barrett A wild
pitch admitted the tying run,
then Allen walked the bases full
again on purpose and Vaughan
ended the game by letting Vince
DiMaggio's grounder go through
him for the winning run.
The defeat shaved a full game
off the Dodgers lead and en-
abled the second-place Pirates
10 climb within three lengths of
the pace-setters.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland In
dians stretched their winning
streak TO a dozen games by
routing the Washington Sena-
tors,13-6, and increased their
first-place margin in the Amer
lean League TO two games and a
half.
Four triples, four doubles and
