BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writa-.


NEW YORK, Dec 23-The
Brooklyn Dodgers are searching for
a college fieldhouse in the vicinity
Of New York City with the idea of
training at home, it was disclosed,
as the exodus of major league clubs
from their spring bases in Florida
gained momentum.
Branch Hickey, president of the
Dodgers, who revealed on Monday
that Brooklyn had abandoned plans
to train at West Palm Beach, said
that the metropolitan area was be-
ing canvasSed for suitable accom-
modations where the players might
do their preliminary conditioning
indoors
AN ideal arrangement" he sug-
gested would be two fieldhouses
in close proximity SO that two clubs
could train together. And I think
I know of another club that would
be interested in the same propo-
sition."
Sees 10 Days Enough.
Hickey expressed doubt that a
month or six weeks Of outdoor con-
ditioning is necessary and said he
believed that with proper prelim-
mary gymnasium work. and batting
in cages, 10 days of outside practice
might be sufficient for the opening
OF the season.
While Rickey was scouting for a
training site in this area. the New
York Giants announced that they
were withdrawing from Miami and
the New York Yankees and St
Louis Cardinals stated they were
/ looking around for satisfactory
switch from ST. Petersburg. where
the Yanks have trained for Is
years.
The Giants expect to locate il
North Carolina, and Secretary Ed.

bases probably would be selected

Milk


has been successfully adopted
by many other cities and is be-
ing introduced here only after
careful consideration of the
need and of problems involved,
Miss Mccall said. Under the
program the Market Admins
tration of the Department OF
Agriculture contributes i 2-3
cents of the cost of half pint
of milk which ii is expected will
be obtained at q wholesale price
of three cents. The pupils pays
a penny and the remaining third
of a cent is to be paid by vari-
ious civic organizations, who are
being approached to contribute
q monthly donation to the milk
fund, assuring its operation.
1t has been estimated 1900
pupils will purchase the milk
under the program. This will in
clude not only public schools but
also parochial schools. Sister
Rose Agatha, of St. Marys
School has been active in pre-
liminary discussions of the plan.

mittee, various civic and service
groups are being contacted for

sirous of contracting any group

Under the plan, school stu
dents will give their pennies to
their teacher, and at time dur
ing school hours to be deter
mined by the individual schools,
the milk will be distributed. Pu-
pills will not be restricted to a
half pint of milk If the teacher

have more, providing they drink

supported by tanks and artillery
as they moved forward in the
second break through in this
sector reported in two days.
Southwest of Stalingrad the
Russian offensive also moved
forward successfully, the mid
day communique reported, and
another town and large stores of
Axis food and medical supplies
were captured.
A special communique last
night told how the Russians had
driven from the Stalingrad-Kra-
snodar railroad line to capture
the town of Obilnaya, 70 miles
southeast of Kotelnikovski.
Within the long-besieged city
of Stalingrad fighting continued
and the Russians said their ar
tillery destroyed 38 German
dugouts and blockhouses and
wiped out a battalion of enemy
infantry.
On the central front north
west of Moscow Red troops with
all their winter paraphernalia
were rolling the numbed Ger
mans back through the heavy
snow and the midday commun-
ique announced the capture of
several inhabited communities.
On one sector of this front
the Russians fought their way
into an enemy stronghold over
the bodies of 600 German Off
GERS and men and captured IA
machine guns, eight guns, a ra-
dio station and a munitions
dump, today's communique said.
Only in the Caucasus did the
Germans show any aggressive
action. An infantry attack south
east of Nalchik supported by
tanks was broken up by Russian
artillery and machine guns, the
communique said, and the Ger
mans were forced back to their
original positions.
