Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-07-23

A little over a week ago we
made two or three members Of
Newark society a little peeved
when we very brutally called our
local American Legion loop a
"moth-eaten" league. Now while
we don't blame the boys we want
to try and make it clear why we
did that.
We enjoy the American Legion
games very much and are always
on hand to see the games when
ever we are not working. 1t is on
ly baseball Newark has. Fred
Simpson, who organizes and runs
the league, works himself almost
to death trying to make his
league successful. Everyone ap-
preciates the work Fred does
year after year.
For example take the game we
saw the other night out at White
field. In the first place it was
delayed about 10 or Is minutes
because there wasn't any umpire.
It isn't Fred's fault that regu-
lar salaried umpire cannot be
had for all the Legion games.
Finally Walter Welsch was coax
ed out Of the grandstand to UNI
pire.
Between the two teams total
of eighteen errors were made.
We ask you again whose fault is
it that our young baseball play
ers are not developed more by
the time they start playing Le-
gion ball. 1t is not the Legion's
fault for they are promoting the
only baseball played in Newark
today. Look at the bleachers at
White field. It's a risk to sit in
them. Some of the boards have
rotted away. The screen on top
of the roof hangs dejectedly. But
it is not the officials fault.
Just look what happened to our
boys when they took on the ex-
perienced American Legion Camp
Chase team from Columbus. The
Columbus team walked away with
the first game after the Newark
boys handled the stitched onion
like it was a hot potato and won
easily behind the brilliant pitch
ing of southpaw Dick Hoover, 81.
Hoover again handcuffed Newark
in Columbus, humbling our lads
1910.
This kind of thing will get
worse unless all of Newark wakes
up and begins to help our Ameri-
can Legion by sponsoring other
baseball teams. A young fellow
cannot learn to play this great
game by participating in one
game a week or less.

U. 5. Planes Pound Japs
In Burma and China
BY the Associated Press.

NEW DELHI, India, Oct. 3.-AEF
bombers and fighters we're reported
by United States Army Air Force
headquarters here today to have left
areas of destruction at japanese
bases in Upper Burma and the ad-
joining Chinese province of Yunnan
during sorties Sunday and Monday.
All the missions were declared
executed without a loss.
A medium bomber, attacking from
a 30-foot altitude. demolished a
building on the Tingka, Yunnan,
air field and battered others at Low
ing Field, where soldiers and la
borers working on runways were
dispersed, the communique said.
En- route back to its Indian base
on this solo trip, the bomber crew
loosed explosives on japanese trac-
tors parked along the railroad tracks
near Katha.
The barracks area of Myitkyina,
Burma, was the target of another
bomber.
ON September %, Washawng and
two adjoining villages in the Myit-
kyina area were strafed by fighters, "
the communique said "Incendiary
and augmentation bombs were
dropped and the villages were left

Barristers Present
Judge Aukam Portrait
To Municipal Court
Leaders of Bench and
Bar, and Mrs. Aukom,
Witness Ceremony

A portrait of the late Presiding
Judge George c. Aukam of Munich
pal Court was presented to the court
yesterday by the Barristers' Club.
Many leading members OF the
District bench and bar gathered for
the presentation, which also was
witnessed by Mrs. Aukam. The
jurist, who died october %. 194l.
was known to many as the father
of Municipal Court"
Justice David A. Pine Of District
Court spoke briefly, tracing Judge
Aukam's association with the trl-
bunal from the first move to estab-
lish it. In 1908, during the admin
istration of President Theodore
Roosevelt, Attorney General Bona
parte called in Judge Aukam to dis
cuss a plan for abolition Of the
justice of the peace system. Judge
Aukam was the principal craftsman
of the bill creating the court, and
served as a judge from its creation
in>1909 until his death.
In touching briefly on Judge Au-
kam's character, Justice Pine said:
"Amoung his qualities was an idi-
osyncrasy that should like to men,
ton, a synthetic veneer of gruffness
which was SO thin that it could be
penetrated by the naked eye of those
who knew him. but which he de-
luded himself into believing, gave
him reputation, which he never
possessed, for being tough and hard
boiled"
The portrait was presented by
Charles E. Pledger, jr., president Of
the Barristers, and it was accepted
on behalf of the court by Chief
Judge George P. Barse. Picturing the
jurist in his judicial robe. it was
painted by Hattie Burdett, we'll
known Washington artist.

Detroit Trucks
Usinq Canadian Cutoff
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 3.-The
first American trucks to use the
Canadian shortcut from Detroit to
Buffalo rolled across the Interna-
tional Peace Bridge late last night,
while others crossed the border on
Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls.
Truck line officials greeted the
motor carriers, which for the first
time have been granted the privi-
lege of crossing Ontario to save mile
age and time in transporting mate
rials.
John L. Lehsten, jr., Of Toledo,
driver of the first vehicle crossing
the Peace Bridge, reported Canadian
highways in excellent condition. The
trucks left Detroit and Port Huron,
Mich, yesterday.
The route is from 106 to 210 miles
shorter than that along the south
shore OF Lake Erie, and the Michigan
Trucking Association estimates it
will cut one-half a transportation
day from the Detroit Buffalo route
and more than a full transportation
day from the Port Huron
route.
Trucks pay 81 per unit per trip
in lieu OF a normal highway tax.

Next to 60 will be an old water
tower, which has been nothing but
a community landmark since 1891,

Some metal relics may still be seen
about the grounds of the home, but
this is principally because the Navy
does not consider them worth scrap

cannot be melted down; they explode

Scrap Needs May Cut
Ship and Tank Armor,
Gen. SomerveII Warns
WPB Issues Statement
Appealing for Increase
In Metal Collection

The War Production Board, in
statement today pointed to the
urgent need for communities to keep
turning in scrap metal, quoted
1t. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, chief
OF the Services of Supply, as warn
ing, "If scrap metal doesn't float to
market at faster clip, the Army
and Navy of the United States may
be forced to cut down on the thick
ness of armored plates protecting
ships and tanks"
Despite the intensive campaign to
get in the scrap, WPB reminded
the public that America is in the
midst of scrap metal shortage"
The statement added:
AT present there is not much
more than two weeks advance sup
ply of scrap on hand to keep the
steel mills on full-time war foot
ing. We are running 100000 tons
short of capacity production-short
of tanks, short of guns, short q
munitions. Steelmen insist that
output will fall as much as 10 per
cent below capacity unless we build
huge stockpiles of scrap to tide us
over the winter months. A produc-
ton drop of as little as l per cent
means the loss of steel equivalent to
that in 140 10,000-ton tankers.
There are 100000 tons of the
scrap lying idle and useless on the
farms and in the homes of America.
Today that scrap is dead; it must
be made to live and save lives on
the battlefields. To avoid a decline
in steel production America has
man sized job to do before snow flies.
Winter weather necessarily makes
scrap collection much more difficult.
We have 100 open hearth furnaces
to feed at the rate of 100 tons of
scrap per day. Given quota of 100
pounds of scrap metal per family it
takes 1000 city families to keep one
open hearth furnace supplied for
one day. To win this war they must
all be supplied with such a diet
Of scrap every day"
WPB pointed out that it would
take approximately As 100000 tons of
scrap metal to meet minimum pro-
duction requirements for 1912. The
statement added:
That's twice as much scrap as
this Nation consumed in 1917, peak
production year of World War /.
With the industries sights beamed
on 90,00O,000- production goal
for the year, part of the tremendous
job of supplying this scrap falls
squarely on the shoulders of the
American people"

Behrman Likes Same People.
These people, who are Mr.. Barry's
own. possess a characteristic in
which one may presume to see the
playwright as in glass, brightly.
They are always dissatisfied, pos
sessed of a sense OF futility or frus-
tration, delightfully."- taking their
maladjustment out on the handiest
next poor little rich girl, or boy. 1t
is their saving grace that not all
those millions which their progen-
itors made and saved can give them
the sense of usefulness and &C
complishment. however small. Sur
rounded by all that beautiful pad
ding. they are able to be only impec-
cably miserable.
Another playwright who uses the
same set of characters with COM
parable skill is S. N. Behrman, whose
plays can attract actresses Kath-
arine Cornell's standing quite as Mr..
Barry's enlist the skill of Miss Kath-
arine Hepburn.

literary merit they may be the sea-

enough, has only limited influence

them, 1t IS much more important
that a play should have substance
and its people significance. Those
are highly relative terms but as be-
tween an "Of Mice and Men" and,
say, THE Philadelphia Story" the
wretchedness of Lennie and George
Is deemed much more significant as
a dramatic revelation than that of
Tracy Lord and the three men who
loved her. George and Lennie, or
their equivalents, always seem to
have something to gain while Tracy
has only something to lose, a posi-
tive suffering as against negative
one. 1t may be an unjust judgment,
a poignant commentary on play
judges mastery of humaneness, but
there 1t is.
But He's Not Satisfied.
In writing with such enormous
facility about people who live in
glass houses. Playwrights Barry and
Behrman undoubtedly entertain
more customers than competitors
who invade the lower classes for
material. Their plays run on vir-
tually forever, delighting the elite
with the sense that they are being
made understood. giving the nom

is not the only unhappy one. That
