OF baseball in this immediate
vicinity.
Then I watched MacPhail
build them into a pennant con-
tender, a pennant winner and a
threat for this season. while at
the same time he built up the
financial standing OF the club
from a great smear OF red ink
into a profitable organization.
Some may doubt with great
righteousness that he is the
best thing that has happened to
the National League in years.
and they may tell you he is a
boisterous bully: but / doubt that
anybody will attempt TO deny
that he was the SAVIOR of the
Cincinnati Reds, first, when he
ran that club. then of the Dodg-
ers since he took over in Brook
Ign.
Mr.. MacPhail has his faults.
a notible one being an inveter-
ate inability 10 observe genteel
decorum at all times and avoid
little unpleasantries with his
fellow man. but as far as I am
concerned the things he has done
for baseball have far outweighed
any broken hearts that he will
leave behind among those who
clashed with him.
He's a guy with a tough hide,
an executive of rare ability and
man OF little judgment in
what he has 10 say at any given
moment. Yet that's better. after
all. than being mealy-mouthed
by phonies.
What he did with the Brook
lyn Dodgers alone should endear
him TO baseball people for all
time.
The big trouble with Mac
Phail is that he has never
learned to keep his mouth shut
and the result has been needless
enemies in baseball. Actually.
he doesn't mean half he says.
but. Of course, on the other
hand. there is no reason why his
targets should have TO accept
his popping off.
He is an amusing character
with an executive genius and
more organizing skill than any
man l have known. He also
can be gracious and considerable.
Ii all depends upon when and
where you catch him.
MacPhail. as you may per-
ceive. is no ordinary man. He
towers above little people men,
tally and in ability and this
may sometimes cause him TO
bully those around him as some
charge.
Don't overlook him as a
soldier. He had an admirable
record In the last war as cap
tain. He will do equally we'll
in the current unpleasantness.
and the worst mistake the
enemy could possibly make
would be to capture him. He
would make them wish they
had never started war.

ApriI's Bond Quofos Reached

Alaska War Bond purchases during the month of April ex- ceeded the quota set by the War Savings Staff of the U. s. Trea- sury for the current month, Fred W. Ayers, Deputy Admin istrator of War Savings, announ- ced today.
 Sales of Series E bonds last month, on the basis of reports from eighteen communities, to- tailed $352,759.OO. This com- pared with $355, ,96O.75 in Jan- uary; $305 S13 25 in February, and $432, 729.75 in March. The quota for the current month of May is $350,OOO.OO.
 "The Territory has been fair ly consistent in it's support of the War Savings program" MT. Aver said today, "but while the April sales exceeded slightly the, quota set for May, the June quota will more nearly approx innate the sales during March, when the Spirit of Alaska bomber campaign, coupled with the highly successful Defense Sports Festival at Fairbanks, sent sales to heir highest peak.
 ''In the month of July, Alaska is asked to attain the half mil lion dollar mark in bond pur- chases, and from that point on- ward, for the duration of the war, will be expected to main tain that figure as a minimum mont hly average The Treasury Department cannot put too much stress on the absolute nec- essity for the setting of these quotas. Time is short and the ever-increasing demands of our war machine create an urgency that we cannot escape or evade. To raise the billions which we need to win this war, and to do all in our power to check inha- tion, we must raise our sights. Alaska not only must meet the quotas which have been set; it must exceed them"

Inferfederation Urqes
More Facilities for
D. T.. Education
Conference Voices
Opposition to Federal
Communicating

The Interfederation Conference,
representing civic organizations of
the Washington Metropolitan Area,
last night went on record opposing
any hampering of the District school
program through the unnecessary
communicating of school facilities
by the Federal Government in its
search for Office space, and urged
that the facilities be increased.
The resolution, adopted unani-
mously following protracted discus
sion, was presented by Culver B.
Chamberlain of the District Fedora
tion of Citizens Associations, and
amended by D. L. wilkins, delegate
from the Fairfax Civic Federation.
Take Emergency Action.
Before voting on the resolution
the group resolved unanimously
that an emergency existed with re-
gard to the school question, enabling
the conference to take action with
out first referring the issue to its
constituent bodies.
Mr.. Chamberlain, broaching the
issue, said the Districts program
for the construction of new schools
is hampered by the fact that the
Government is granting priorities on
construction materials for District
schools on the understanding that
the schools will be turned over to
the Government for defense Office
space. He declared that in at least
two instances the facilities of al
ready existing schools have also
been commandeered by the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Chamberlain added that he
felt that any stand taken by con-
ference should reflect an attitude
in no way unsympathetic to the
Governments attempts to solve its
office-space problem. The question,
he indicated. was whether the Gov
ernment was making an attempt to
utilize first all other space available
in the city.
England's Example Cited.
Mr.. Chamberlain objections were
supported by DR.. Thomas p Martin
of the Fairfax federation, who OBJ
served that England's war effort is
suffering from the fact that young
men now reaching the draft age are
largely uneducated.
Earlier, the conference heard
report by E. P. Roll, vice president
of the Fairfax federation, on the
utilities service in that county. Mr..
Roll told the delegates that the cleo
trical service has improved greatly
in recent months following action
on the part of civic groups, and that
q rate reduction for the county is
in prospect.
Dr. Martin reported that the Fair
fax federation is seeking the restora-
ton of passenger train service to
the District by the Washington &
Old Dominion Railway. He warned
