Brasscos Lose, 10-2

Many miscues figured in the one sided baseball victory of the Bay Pathways of Brooklyn, N. Y, over the Davi Brasscas Sunday night by the score of 10 to 2 at Municipal Stadium, in anything but ideal base ball weather under the lights. Barr, Parkway first sacker hit 8 triple and two singles, as the winners scored 7 runs in the last three in- nings to sew up the game, four of them coming in the seventh as the Brasscos got but four hits off Phil lips and had eight errors charged against them. Paul Doran played his final game in Waterbury, prior to becoming soldier of Uncle Sam tomorrow at Camp Devens.
 Next Sunday the Grammar Bom- bers of New York with former N. Y. Giant, Jumbo Brown as pitcher, will show against the Brasscos.

nous quantity of tonnage to trans
port 71a million men to the battle
fronts and keep them supplied. Great
as is our power to produce, it is not
sufficient to keep an army of tx mil
lion Americans, and 80 million allies
supplied with all they need.
1t would seem that the time has
come for the President to appoint
a commission of real experts to look
into this important subject so that
we may determine what is best to do.
Problem of Manpower.
Back of all the administrative con-
fusion in Washington is simple me-
chanical explanation. We have not
yet fashioned war organization ade-
quate to the task as we now see it..
To be sure bureaus have been piled
on bureaus, reorganizations have been
constant, and new appointments and
offices are made every week. But, in
the absence of basic replanning, these
changes seem to make more chaos,
instead of creating order. The con-
clusion is therefore unacceptable that
we should call truce to reshuffles
and in the light of our experience to
date lay down a master organization.
That is what is recommended in
the sixth interim report of the Tolan
committee. This committee which
is headed by Representative John H.
Tolan, Democrat of California, has
long been at work in investigating
interstate migration arising out of
war programs. The results of those
inquiries have been of invaluable
service in shedding light on our ma
tional war problems and in pointing
the way to their solution. The pres
ent report is the best of the entire
series. It calls for a halt in the
establishment of more agencies and
of new functions till a master or
ganization has been established.
The occasion for this call is the
present move to enact a National
Service act for civilians as well as
the men and women in the armed
services. "The agencies charged with
the responsibility for manpower
mobilization" says the report, blunt
ly, "are not yet ready to assume the
further responsibility for administer
ing National Service act.'
Soldiers Family Problems.
Answers to scores of questions
arising in the minds of soldiers, sail
ors and their dependents are to be

troll has been top-heavy. 1t was only
few years ago that the Democrats
held BAT seats in the House as against
88 Republican seats. That was not
good for the country as was reflected
in the enactment of much legislation
that has since risen to hamper us in
our war efforts.
AS this is written there are few
Congressional districts in doubt but
it is safe to say that the Democrats
will have clear majority. Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike construe
the election as mandate from the
people that they want the war pro-
secuted more efficiently and vigor-
ously and that will not be good news
to Berlin and Tokyo.
Lack of Planning.
Wendell Willkie, in his report to
the American people, told us that
the Russians and the Chinese are
complaining bitterly over our failure
to furnish the quantities of war ma
terials that we are supposed to have
promised them. Now comes Mark
Sullivan, the noted Washington cor
respondent who, after some expert
probing into the question, tells us
that the. complaints are more bitter
than Willkie said they were. Mr..
Sullivan points out that the Rus
slams have Is million soldiers that
are eager to go on fighting, and that
the Chinese have an even greater
number of actual and potential SOL
diers. These figures may be accepted
as conservative and if we are smart
we will concentrate our energies on
furnishing these 80 million actual and
potential soldiers with everything
they need to overwhelm the enemy.
Mr.. Sullivan points out the alb
surdity of raising and equipping 10
million for our armed forces when
there is such an abundance of man
power in Russia, China and India.
Original plans called for an army
of 10 to Is million men, which was
later scaled down to 71a million, but
the Navy and Marine Corps will bring
the number up to 10 million.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and smarter
and more effective to keep the great
er bulk of our men at home produc-
ing food and war materials for the
Russians and Chinese? Is there
enough shipping available to trans
port an army of TX million to the
various fronts and keep them sup
piled? It is doubtful, but there is
enough shipping available to keep
the Russians and Chinese supplied

and information in and out OF the
United States, such powers to be in
effect until the signing of the peace
treaty.
Let us analyze this proposition for
a moment. We can dismiss the tariff
part of it because war always acts
as the highest kind of a tariff. War,
in fact, places an embargo on for
eign commerce. But how about the
immigration part of his request? We
know that during the past ten years
tens of thousands of so-called re-
fugees have been permitted to enter
the United States. Some of these
have Independent means while 9TH
ers are dependent upon the charity
of relatives, friends and the public.
If the President were given the pow
er to take down the immigration bars
there would be the biggest influx of
aliens to this country since the palmy
days back in the early nineties when
immigrants were numbered in the
millions. There can be no objec-
ton to properly selected and reg
ulated immigration if it is held with
in reasonable bounds but to throw
the doors wide open is to court dis
aster.
When the war is over there is
going to be much unemployment and
we will again have to carry very
heavy relief load until such time
as we can adjust ourselves to peace
time conditions, which is going to
require two or three years. To add
to those burdens by permitting hun
dreds of thousands of aliens to come
in would be sheer folly. Of course,
Congress is not going to give any in
dividual such wide powers. The
people wouldn't stand for it.
All to the Good.
The election last week was quite
an upset, especially to man named
Gallup, who has been furnishing us
with prediction dope ever since the
Literary Digest poll blew up back
in '36. Heretofore Mr.. Gallup has
been pretty lucky in his prognostica-
tons but he missed it by millions
Tuesday of last week when he said
there would be very little change in
the makeup of Congress.
1t is fortunate for the country that
the Presidents party retains control
of Congress, more particularly now
that we are at war. Mr.. Roosevelt
has had control ever since he became
President but heretofore that con-

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

Friday afternoon the Northeastern
Auxiliary committee held its regular
meeting at the Askov American Le-
gion hall. Mrs. John Meier con-
Quoted the meeting. Miss Mildred
Bickmann, the new county nurse,
was introduced to the group. After
the business meeting, DR.. Pearce of
the Minnesota State Department of
Health gave a talk entitled "War
and the Control of Venereal Diseases. "
The talk was supplemented with a
short moving picture. About 40 wom-
en- from various parts of the county
attended the meeting.
Last week the nurse spent several
days in the office working on rec
ords, correspondence and work plans.
She spent Monday in Pine City and
the southern district and Thursday
in the northwestern district. The
pupils of school district 102 were in
spected Friday.
1t has been called to the nurses
attention that there are several cases
of scarlet fever in an adjoining coun-
ty. Since the first signs of almost
all communicable diseases are the
symptoms of cold, mothers can help
prevent epidemics by keeping chill
dren with colds home from school.
1t is in the early stages that cold
and other communicable diseases are
most infectious. Let's be careful.
