LANIER TOPPED BROOKLYN
 5 THIS YEAR
DOIph CamiIli Is Key Man as Flag Finish Nears;
 Slaughter, Moore 'HOt'
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff COrreSnOndenf

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 25. (UP)-The pennant road stretched clear and straight today before the Brooklyn Dodgers who faced the disturbing realization that unless they win all three remaining games from the Cardinals, the path may become Strewn with 0bStacleS-moStly from St. Louis.
 This years National league flag race is peculiar in more than one sense, but particularly regarding the records of the Dodgers and Cards. The race has not yet gone into Sep tember and, althouguh the Dodgers have maintained pace close to zoo almost all summer, the Red Birds still are dangerously close.
 Realization of the peculiar pattern of the senior league circuit chase becomes more acute in comparison with the American league standings. There, the Yankees have won fewer games than the Brooklyns and yet they are practically coasting with little or no pressure. Imagine what would have happened to the Dodgers if they had won just a few less games: The Cards would be on top of them and last years ding dong battle would be repeated.
 AS it is, the Cardinals are far from out of it even though they are 6h games behind. The Red Birds have more hitting power than the Dodgers. They have made more hits and scored more runs and although Brooklyn is more poised and pol- ished, the St. Louisans still may stage driving finish.
 Brooklyn, long credited as a unit of all-stars, apparently is developing an individual in Dolph Camilli who may be the final edge in the pen- nant reckoning. Camilli's bat has shown tremendous power, especially in the recent Giants series. He ex- ploted jackpot homer, two triples 8 double and two singles anc knocked in eight important runs Joe Medwick's batting has fallen of and Pete Reiser's has slumped, too, but neither's lapse has been felt, thanks to Camilli.
 But Max Lanier stopped both Brooklyn and Camilli last night, when the Cards trounced the Dodg- CTS, 7-1, before 25,558 fans, St. Louis largest night game crowd.
 Lanier turned back the Dodgers with four hits, blanking them in the first seven innings for his 18th victory of the year and fourth over Brooklyn in five starts. Mickey Owens single and double by Lew Riggs spoiled Lanier's shutout in the eighth.
 Larry French, Les Webber and Hugh Casey pitched for the Dodgers and were rapped for 12 hits. French who pitched until the sixth, wal charged with his second loss of tho year against 13 victories.
 The Cards pounded French for nine hits and so lead in the first five innings. Terry Moore, who made three of the Cards hits, doubled in the first inning and raced home on Enos Slaughter's single for the first run. Slaughter got double and single and drove in two runs.
 No other major league teams were scheduled.

Dom DiM aggio Is
 New Naval COxsWain

Boston, Aug. 25.-UP)-Coxswain Dominic Di Maggie, fifth Boston Red Sox player to join the navy, still was in baseball uniform today as the Bosox opened a last long, shot drive for the pennant with twin bill against the Cleveland h. dians.
 Di Maggie, rated one of the finest defensive outfielders in the majors, was sworn in yesterday as a cox swain in the iuShore patrol with rating of third class petty Of ficer.
 The 24-year old Di Maggie, young est of five brothers and first of his clan to join the armed services, will continue to play for at least two weeks and probably will finish the season. Then he probably will be assigned to duty off the California coast.
 Di Maggie, who annually works with his fisherman. father, may be placed in charge of a gun crew on a converted fishing boat or watch starting at monthly base Day of $78. The Red Sox pay him close to $10,00O year.
 Wants Action
 "It,s something I've been want ing to do for a long time, and I know I won't get seasick," he said. T joined the navy for active duty and hunting submarines is my idea of active duty"
 Frank Pytlak and Emerson Dick man, Red Sox mates of Di Maggie, already are serving with the navy, and Ted Williams and Johnny Pesky are awaiting call to start training in naval aviation.
 Though Di Maggie wears strong glasses and was classed 1-B by his draft board because of his eyesight, navy doctors said his vision with glasses was better than the aver age person with 2O-2O vision"

Economic Warfare Chief
Sues Dies for $4,000

In a suit on file in District Court
today David B. Vaughan, chief of
the administrative management di-
vision of the Board of Economic
Warfare, asked $4,000 from Chair
man Dies of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities for al
legged lbelous statements.
Mr.. Vaughan charged that he had
been accused falsely by Representa-
tive Dies of afiliation with Com
munist organizations. Mr.. Dies was
asserted to have sought to have Mr..
Vaughan fired by Vice President
Wallace, head of the board.
The complaint was based on a let
ter which Mr.. Dies wrote the Vice
President on March 28. The letter
said the House committees investi-
cation had showed at least 35 en-
ployes Of the Board of Economic
Warfare have public records which
show affiliation with front organiza-
tions Of the Communist party" .
Mr.. Vaughan gave his age as 80,
his salary $500. He said he was
employed by the Irving Trust Co. of
New York before going to work for
the Government six years ago. His
complaint declared the Dies charge
had damaged his reputation and
would hinder his advancement.

By HELEN LOMBARD,

Women are in Congress to stay
and 1t looks as If there might be
more rather than fewer feminine
members in the future. With more
and more men being syphoned into
the armed services, the feminine
angle in politics is becoming increas-
ingly important and the feminine
voice grows louder, This is worry
ing some male representatives who
never have accepted entirely the
presence of women in Congress as a
natural state of affairs.
A woman who enters Congress has
to chose between attempting to be
part of the "cloakroom" or elect
ing to hold aloof from that char
acteristic part of life on the Hill"
In the roughand-ready atmos-
phere of the cloakroom, a good deal
OF congressional horSe-trading goes
on. Bills sometimes are killed before
they reach the floor and not infre-
quently the real business of legiSla-
ton is carried on there.
Women Retreat.
Off-color stories are apt to relieve
the political talk and the presence of
a woman casts a pail. Most of the
women members therefore, quickly
realize that 1t is wiser to keep to
their corners and the men like it
better that way.
In the eyes of her male colleagues,
the woman Representative must
realize that she has no place in the
mems cloakroom, because she is a
woman, but she must, at the same
time. not attempt to trade on her
feminine state.
Although there is no likelihood of
a most popular Madame Repre-
