MEXICO CITY, June 2-lP)-
Mexico took her place today as a
full-fledged ally of the United
Nations, casting her fortunes
with the nine other Latin Amer
lean republics linked in arms
against the Axis.
Mexico's declaration of war as
of May % was signed last night
by President Manuel Avila Ca
maCho without fanfare in his

answer to submarine attacks on
Mexican shipping.
Mexico thus became the 9th
United Nations ally and put be
fore the Axis an u n br o k n
stretch of hostile coast in two
oceans from Panama to the fur
thest Arctic reaches of North
America.
Even as Avila CamaCho was
signing the declaration authoriz-
ed by a special session of Con
gresS last week, Mexico was TAX
ing her first steps against the
enemy within-thc large group
OF Axis nationals and their Mex
lean partiSanS.
Two persons were arrested for
distributing Pacifist literature
yesterday, a Japanese accused
of expressing diSapproval of
Mexican belligerency was turn
ed over 10 the police and a
house to house census of for
eigncrs was begun i'm the capital.

AL Teamsters Call Picket Lines Organized Racke1
Gloria Jean,
2 Months Old,
Slain by Boy

MARQUETTE, Mich, June 2
-(P)-A 16-year-old boy des-
cribed by police as apparently
normal in all respects was held
in the Marquette county Jail to-
day as the alleged killer of
baby Gloria Jean Nault, who
came to her death at brutal
hands Sunday night.
Sergeant Charles w. Engle
of the Marquette State Police
Post, who helped lead the hunt
for the slayer after Gloria
Jeans nude and bruised body
was found in a truck cab, an
nounced that Ross Heath, form
er Chicago boy, had confessed
killing the two-month-old in
FAINT.
Trailed by his cowboy-shoe
footprints, the youth was ar
rested at his home in the New
Swanzey mining location. 20
miles south of here yesterday
and admitted killing the baby
although being able to give no
reason, Sergeant Engle said.
Authorities declined TO dis
close details of the boys alleged
confession pending his appear
ance in Probate Court, which
was planned for today. Probate
Court, under State law, must
first receive his case since he
is a juvenile, but may waive
jurisdiction.
In the latter event, Ross
would be taken into Circuit
Court. The youth, dark com
plexioned and Of average height
and weight, is held without
charge.
The body of Gloria Jean, one
Of six children of Mr.. and Mrs
Wilfred Nault of Palmer, was
found in a parked tuck a quar-
ter Of a mile from Gwinn, which
is south of here. The skull was
crushed and the body otherwise
bruised.
TAKEN FROM CAR
The distracted parents had
reported Gloria Jeans disap-
pearance from their automobile
while they had been in a taV-
ern although from time TO time
the mother had gone outside to
see the baby's safety.
Sergeant Engle said unusual
cowboy shoe footprints were no
ticed and traced from the tav
ern to the truck. Inquiries theH
determin 81 that Ross wore such
shoes, Engle said, and the
youths arrest followed.
Ross, whose mother is SAID
to live in Chicago, worked foI
his board and room at a home
in the New SWanzey location
Sergeant Engle said the youth
had no relatives in this area anC
came to Michigan because Inc
liked to roam"

1871: A Production Pipe Dream
1912: The Dream is Coming True
BY S. BURTON HEATH

When President Roosevelt first
suggested that we build fifty
thousand planes in one year, to
help defeat Hitler, the idea evok-
ed a wave Of often caustic hum
or. 1t was, we agreed with I'M
usual unanimity, a novel way of
trying to awaken the American
public. But even for the queen
of industrial nations, it was a
pipe dream.
In 1912, the year whose mid
way mark is nearing, we shall
manufacture not fifty thousand
airplanes, but sixty thousand.
A year ago now we were SCOT
fling or weeping, as our personal
temperaments dictated, at the
battle of Big Promises versus
Small Performances then under
way in Washington. "On hand or
on order became a joke tend
ing to the scandalous With all
our appropriations and orders,
we could manage to spend for
completed war goods no more
than S35, 100000 a day.
In April, 1912, we spent $131,-
500 600 a daV.

We are far ahead Of schedule on

goal. Indications are for $4,000
next year. Chrysler's big plant
is seven months ahead of sChed-

The President asked for 10000
anti-aircraft guns. He is getting

 Philadelphia, Juiy 29 = CUP)- Melio Bettina, ugly duckling" of the heavyweight division, may be- come a swan in Uncle Sam's raj ment.
 That's what Lew Tender said last night as the greatest boxing south- paw of the past tried to console Bettina, greatest southpaw of the present and his manager, Jimmy Grippe, after their last money fight" had been cancelled by wealth CT.
 Bettina, hairy-chested victor of B consecutive heavyweight tilts, was slated to fight return bout last night with Gus Dorazio at Shibe Park, but bad weather can- celled 1t. It was to have been Bet tina's last money fight before en- tering the army on Thursday. Out of this bout he expected to net at least $10,000 to serve as a nest egg for his mother, father and two younger brothers while he carried on in the service.
 But there could be no further postponement of the brawl because: CD It had been held up by weather since Monday night; CD The Philadelphia National League Baseball Club takes over Shibe Park tomorrow night; and (3 Melio joins the army as buck private Thursday in his home town of Beacon, N. Y.
 Lew Tender, the former great southpaw lightweight who fought champion Benny Leonard twice in historic big-money extravaganzas, told Bettina:
 Listen boy, this may be the greatest break you ever got. The army will appreciate you lot more, since you didn't get the chance to make that money. Because of this and beause you're asking no favors from the army-by going in as buck private-you'l unquestionably be ranked in military circles as the No. contender for a shot at cham pion Joe Louis. Although Louis is a corporal in the army and you're just a private, you can yell your head off for a fight-and probably get it. But you couldn' do that be- fore you stepped into uniform"
 Tender emphasized that good southpaws were the ugly duck ungs" of their divisions because no prominent battler-and particularly champions-wanted to meet them beause of their unorthodox stance and awkward style He said it was well known in fight circles from coast to coast that Promoter Mike acobs had opposed Bettina as Louis opponent time and again, Iaut that Bomber Joe and his ad- visors had consistently rejected the Beacon boy because of his style.
 Bettina and Manager Gripp nodded. Louis repeated refusals to tackle Bettina was no news to them.
 q never thought Leonard would fight me because of my style. Benny wasn't too anxious. But Benny was great champion-licked me twice and he took me on. Louis is sup

Brooklyn ShOrtstOp Never Needs Pinch Hitter or

They called him "Peewee' as a boy because he was marble shooting champion of Louisville. They better not call MT. Harold Reese that for any discrepancy in bulk in this league, either, because, when Eddie Joost, his shortstop rival in Zealand, Sprained a finger sliding to third Thursday night July 16, 1t left Brooklyn's Peewee supreme as the only National League player who had not missed moment of any ball game his team played this year since the curtain went up way back in April.
 Not an inning, not time at bat. For more than a month Reese and Joost shared the honor of being the regularest regulars of all the players in all the lineups of baseball's senior major league. They started and fin tshed every game their teams played.
 They were immune from the in- juries and illnesses that temporarily sidelined all the other regulars on all the teams. They never needed 8 pinchhitter or a pinch-runner to take their place when the clutch came and put them on the spot. No 1mpire flung them a heave-ho. Through thick and thin, hot and cold, all the frey action swirling around the hottest spot on the ball. field, the two shortstops sailed along, men of steel defying the light ming.
 l Joost's jared digit left Reese su- preme, the No. l Iron Man of AZ in the National League. Seems odd : that couple of infielders had to I fight 1t out to the finish. The infield is where you get into most tnagles, especially around the midway has sock.
 Yet the man who stuck with them longest was another infielder, Bob Elliott, of the Pirates. Bob was in every inning all season up to June 21. And the No. 4 in the Iron Man derby was Jimmy Brown, St. Louis Cardinal infielder. He was an every-inning man until he knocked off the last couple rounds on June IA.
 Nanny Fernandez was the last surviving Boston Brave and he's an infielder, too, not missing a moment of any game up to June 5. Outfield- CTS stuck longest for the Giants and Cubs, Willard Marshall and Bill i Nicholson. With the Phils it was a first -baseman, Nick Etten. Danny Litwhiler, Phils out fielder, was the long-run endurance leader of the National League the day Joost moved to the bench to nurse his finger. Dangerous Dan had been in every Phil game since May 4, 1941. He passed out of the every-inning endurance race, how ever, on May 6 of this year when he sat out the last few rounds of a 1 game in St. Louis. For the every minute endurance record, MT.

 "The only other opponent the army might suggest is Private Billy Conn. But he fought Louis once and was knoked out. You're un- beaten as a heavyweight and never have faced Louis, because he wouldn't face you. It looks to me like you're in for a Louis fight"
 Tender told Bettia that he might have been cut up or suffered a broken hand had he met Dorazio at Shibe Park last night. Instead, he is going into the army in fine shape after three weeks of training at Beacon and Philadelphia. Because of this-if nothing more-he must be considered the No. challenger if Louis defends in September-"or whenever he defends" Tender said.

 The All Stars are comprised of his former pupils who of late years have been starring on industrial teams in that territory such as the Pextos, and club mines like the Falcons and Brother Christophers. In Kenny Sargent, the former Lewis mound ace, the All Stars have one of the finest young pitchers in this section.
