NEW YORK, Aug. Connie
Mack comes up with the idea
that the major leagues will have
to reduce their player limits next
season "for the simple reason that
there won't be enough players"
Connie figures that such Q reduc-
tion, particularly In pitching
stats, win improve the game.
Pacific Coast League tried cutting
the limit this year and about the
only result was q phony 'suspen-
sion" every time a player was
hurt so another guy could be put
on the active list. Our idea is
that enough minor leagues will
fold up before next summer that
there still will be q plentiful sup
ply Of players still out of the
Army, but that, the clubs likely
viii have to take . few that ordi-
narily wouldn't be major leaguers.

more of all foods, regardless of
quality, than the Puerto Rican.
NOBODY STARVES :"
That is why hookworm and
ricketts, are the normal thing
among human beings in the
beautiful isle of Puerto Rico.
That is why the children's stom-
achs generally bulge from NAL
nutrition.
One observer, intimately ac-
quainted with the situation
there, epitomizes it caustically:
Nobody starves to death -
fast-in Puerto Rico"
This outline would suggest
that these citizens of the United
States are sadly exploited. They
may be, though even Luis Munoz
Marin, leader of the Bread,
Land, Liberty" Populares Party
the New Deal in the island
does not contend that exploita-
ton is the answer.
The difficulty is that Puerto
Rico is physically incapable of
supporting itself, and has moth
ing to sell that will pay for the
other things that are needed.
The island. called the Gibral-
tar of the Atlantic, appears cap
able of supporting, moderately
we'll, around one million per-
sons. With twice that number, its
population is growing faster
than even the huge militaryna-
val program, temporarily, could
make jobs.
So desperate is the situation
that, although the population is
almost entirely Roman Catho-
lie and the Church fought it, a
statute was passed legitimizing
birth control information, which
few have sought.
The most radical proposals
under serious consideration are
conceded by their sponsors to
be. at best, mere stopgaps.
Only the depopulation of the
island, or outright subsidy, is
suggested as an overall, perma-
nent cure.

Rebel Yell
Rings Again
i'm South
BY NORMAN WALKER

BATON ROUGE, La, Dec. 30
-(P)-A defiantly-snorted Reb-
ell yell came today from Gov
ernor Sam Jones of Louisiana
with a demand the government
reverse an edict that the state
must collect the new victory
tax" from pensions paid its few
remaining Confederate veterans.
Jones numbered that if Wash
ington officials consider the
state payments to its score of
Civil War veterans still alive as
remuneration for services re-
ceived - why, then, sub, they
.ecognize the services as legal
and should agree to reinstate-
ment of the South's Confeder-
acy, even pay the Confederates
from the Federal Treasury.
"By the eternal he declared,
Il would be in favor of fight
ing the Civil War all over again
before | would see these aged
Confederate veterans deprived
of part OF these pensions given
them by the state"
A recent open advocate of an
independent Democratic Party
for the South, Jones said while
the five percent victory tax"
deduction from $50 monthly
pensions would be about 40
cents for each of the 20 pension
ers, or a total of So, he would
find other means for paying the
tax if the Federal Internal Rev
enue decision from Washington
is sustained.
81 referred the matter to our
Generals office
Jones said, land / look forward
to an opinion that we cannot
legally be required to pay this
tax. Why-the principles are as
broad as the issues that these
veterans fought for"

Army Wants Your Knife
10 Slit jap Threats

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30 -
(Pp - If you have a hunting
knife around the house, the
Army would like to put it to use
killing Japs.
Major General Barney M.
Giles, commander of the fourth
air force, today approved plans
originated by Frank Martinelli,
a eader of San Francisco's
N Beach Colony. He has or
ganized and heads the save a
ii with knife committee"
In the intense heat and dense
jung growth of the islands
through which our men are
fighting in the South Pacific"
General Giles said, 1.-The regula-
ton bayonet frequently is both
burdensome and unwieldly. A
short, sturdy hunting knife
would be invaluable to soldiers
cutting their way through jun
giles, or in close combat"
So pressing is the need of such
weapons, that the Army has pro-
m to ship the knives by
plane, placing them in the hands
OF fighting men soon after their
collection in San Francisco. The
hunting or SHINING knives
must have blades at least four
icles long. Knives with broken
handles will be repaired. The

Escaped
Prisoners
Sought

WINDSOR, Ont. Dec. 80 -
Up Provincial police searched
today for six prisoners who es-
capped from the Essex County at
Sandwich Jail last night after
prying open a door in the bull
pen and smuggling two elderly
guards.
One guard was beaten SO Sc
verely that he required hos
pital treatment.
The six were Archie Scott, %,
and James A. Browning, 10,
Windsor Negroes awaiting trans
fer to the penitentiary on SEN
fences of seven years for rob-
berry armed, and Leo Piche, 10,
Detroit, and Louie Rainone, 10;
Thomas Brice, 10, and John Tur-
geon, 10, all of Windsor. The
latter four were held on minor
charges.
The guards, John Kennedy,
81, and James Pillon, 20, were
attacked as they came to the bull
pen unarmed to place the six
men in their cells. The prison
ers had pried open the bull pen
door and were hiding in the
corridor when the guards ar
rived.
In the struggle Kennedy was
beaten unconscious. The prins-
oners took the guards keys and
fled out the Jail door. First they
opened cell doors but other pris-
oners refused to follow them,
Pillon said.
John Morkin, governor of the
jail, said the employment of the
elderly guards was necessary
because of the labor shortage
Four day guards had gone of
duty half hour before the six
prisoners made their break.

WASHINGTON Dec. 30 - (P)

WASHINGTON Dec. 30 - (P)
- Japan's isolated forces on
Guadalcanla Island in the Solo
mons were reported authorita-
tivel today to be suffering Sc
verely from starvation and dis
ease, without Fresh supplies for
about six weeks.
Commander Dwight Fl. Dcx-
to-. Coast Guard officer who
was in charge of the naval oper-
ating base on Guadalcanal until
November 5, said in press con-
ference at the Navy Department
tt 1t from his experiences in the
island he judged that right now
the Japanese are having all they
can do to combat starvation and
disease, let alone having to wor-
ry about the little bit of hell the
Marines are giving them.
His observation tied in direct
ly with a report covering a later
period in Guadalcanal which
came from Sergeant James W..
Hurlbut, Marine Corps combat
correspondent in the Solomons.
II : dispatch released by the
Navy Department today Hurlbut
said that the American Naval
forces were keeping out enemy
endorsements and supplies and
that disease and lack of proper
+ edical facilities are playing
havoc with the enemy"
Recent Marine patrols have
discovered scores of japanese in
bivouac areas who apparently
died from disease or malnutri-
tion," Hurlbut reported.

Robert was sick with the flu, so Cecil rowed me and his dog ashore. 1 wasn't anxious about having the dog along, as I had heard of a Kodiak chasing a dog into cabin and tearing it into bits and wrecking the cabin.
 I was watching a couple of eagles flying about when I glanc- ed around and saw a big bear walking away from me on the beach, about 400 yards away. At about the same time he must have scented me, or at least he turned around and began walk ing in my direction just as though he had forgotten some thing. l moved out more into the

Editors note; Hobart Wise man, school teacher and hunter, told last week of the death of Kewan. In this weeks story Wlseman describes his first bear hunt.)
 Soon the second year rolled around and I was entitled by my years residence to get a bear. Afognak island is a reserve, so knew l would have to hunt on Kodiak island, about 15 miles a. way. hired a power boat and friend and l made the trip on It to Raspberry island. The boat left and was to call for us later.
 After careful watch on the beach and scouting up and down the creek for about five miles each day we still did not face any of the big ones. One after noon while we were away on a hike up the valley we returned to find tracks of three bears that had visited our camn while we were gone. How we wished we had stayed near camp that day !!
 On the fourth morning out our boat was back for us and we had to break camp and leave. Soon we were aboard and watch ing the land recede behind US land of the bear, yes, but of a bear hard to locate in the tall grass, seven feet high, with which l was becoming increasingly familiar.
