MARINES FELL VICTIMS;
SAILORS TANcLE WITH
STRONG COAST GUARD TO-
NIGHT

The baseball team of the Naval
Operating Base regained its WIN
ming ways last night at the ex-
pense of the Marines by a 7-3
score, despite some loose play of
its infield and attention is center
ed tonight on the clash of the
Sound School and Coast Guard.
The latter, riding the crest of a
three-game victory streak and
appearing the best of the lot thus
far because of the stellar play of
Ed Kacanowicz, husky pitcher,
might run into plenty of trouble
with the Sparklers who are always
dangerous and doubly so when
their hurlers are Sin the groove"
Tomorrow the 5Oth Coast Ar
tillery will return to action
against the Marines and Saturday
the Naval Operating Base will
meet Boca Chica.
Last nights affair opened inn
pressively for the Marines.
Shroats third baseman, received
a walk and with one away, Link,
second Ebaseman, raped out a
long triple, scoring Shroat. Link
came in after he had drawn play
and the gball was muffed.
The MOB captured control of
the lead in the fourth when
Mickey Schoval, outfielder, lived
on an error and with one away
Cornelius, right fielder, gained
first on a misplay. Then with two
out Stone, first baseman, slugged
a double and was followed with
singles by Justice, shortstop, and
Art Meska, pitcher, for quar-
ter of scores.
They got another in the fifth on
two doubles by Ralph Barbary,
catcher, and Cornelius.
Stones two for three led the
winners. Justice and Meska each
had two hits in four chances.
Links triple was the best smash
for the losers.
Pitching for the Marines, Wood
ard struck out three sailors and
gave up nine hits. Meska allowed
four hits and whitfield IL.

between the whites and the
Negroes and the persons who
lShare the most guilt in these
disputes are the whites.
An examination of the records
show that the whites are the
mouthpieces for the propaganda
and that most of it is for self
ish political purposes. The
Negroes have been fighting
back, and the situation is grow
ing worse. There were race
riots in Washington, d. c., after
the last World War, and it would
be unfortunate if a similar feud

LAUNCHING OF POINT RATIONINC
PRESENTS MANY new PROBLEMS

WASHINGTON, April IS
While point rationing o fcanned
foods presents new problems to
consumers and grocers alike, evil
dence is that the program has been
carefully prepared to make the
adjustment as easy as possible.
True, retailers will have the
extra burden of collecting stamps
as well as money for the rationed
products. Shoppers for their part
must grow accustomed to reckon
ing point values" of purchases in
addition to price. But the neces-
sity of providing ample supplies
for the armed forces, then making
sure that everyone gets a fair
share of civilian allotments, is
widely recognized.
To make the transition easier
and explain the point rationing
system, government agencies
have invited the cooperation of
advertisers. The Kellogg Com
pany. for example, is sponsoring
nationwide advertisements urging
consumers to help make the pro-
gram a success by observing the
golden rules of food rationing"
formulated by OPA.
Shop early, shop at longer in
tervals, prepare shopping lists at
home and use plentiful, unration-
ed foods such as cereals, are
among the suggestions expected to
help prevent congestion in stores
and maintain variety and nutri-
tive values in the American
diet.

The Olive Branch

The House of Representatives
has 65 freshmen" Republicans
and Al Democrats, and the Senate
has 10 new Republicans. They are
the muscle and backbone in the
fight on Capitol Hill for the indie
pendence of the legislative
branch of the Government Most
of the New Republican members
come from the agricultural States,
which indicates that the President
lost his strangle hold over the
farmers in the November cleo
tons.
President Roosevelt extended
the olive branch to the opposition
in Congress against his rule of the
Legislative branch when he invit-
ed all the new members of both
Houses to come to the White House
in a group and get acquainted and
talk things over. This is the first
instance of the kind on record, and
during the past 10 years. Mr..
Roosevelt has regulated all sim
liar conferences SO that the con-
troll was held by Senators and rep
favorable to the
Deal.

United States won the first World
War and lost the peace. We have

Mime. Chang Kai-Shek of China,
led the trend S of conversation
last month. Sumner Welles, I'm
dersecretary of State, appears to
be the outstanding man in the Adj
ministration to analyze and visual
ize the vast problems that must be
met if a genuine victory is to be
scored for peace this time" Mr..
Welles spoke before the Univer-
sity of Toronto and he empha-
sized the friendly relations ex-
isting between the United States
and Canada.
We are always hearing that peo-
pie who speak different languages,
and Governments that are manag-
ed on different theories and prin-
ciples will never be able to get
along together. The First Lady OF
China explodes that fallacy.
Welles doesn't speculate about
China, Russia, Italy, and India.
He talks about countries we all
know about, viz: the United States
and the Republics of Central and
South America. They speak Span
ish, Portuguese and English,
throughout Latin America. Their

interests are very different from
those of the United States and
Canada. But when you add them
up, as Mr.. WelleS has done, you
are obliged to agree that the
Americas, from their Northern to
their Southern tip, are in thorough
agreement regarding the protec-
ton of the peoples of our Contin-
ent. How about Argentina"
Well, we had better not leave her
out, just because a few contrary
mules are temporarily at the head
of the Government. Despite their
claims of neutrality" Argentina
is ready to hop onto the band
wagon any time that serious trou-
bic shows up.
The ideals and possibilities of
the League of Nations, with dras-
tic changes in its plan, rules of
procedure, constitute the frame
work for the course outlined in
the Atlantic Charter and the
declaration of the United Nations.
It all approves the vision of Wood
row Wilson.

Carried Out Orders


Economic Sterilization Direc-
tor James F. Byrnes has taken
strong position in insisting that
the War Labor Board must hold
the present wage-control line.
The Board recently announced
a bonus plan" which had the
effect of restoring certain prem
ium paw to labor groups for Sat
urday and Sunday work on re-
troactive basis. That was not
consistent with President Roose-
velt's executive order in which
he held that there was no JUS
LITIGATION during a war for pay
ing time and half for work on
Saturday unless the employee
had already worked 40 hours
that week. Double time for
work on Sundays was ruled out
by the Presidents order. The
Board followed the vacillating
methods of its predecessors in
patching-up a strike settlement.
Judge Brynes promptly back
ed-up the Presidents order, and
at the same time furnished an
example to the Labor Board that
it is not good practice to give
way to demands for inflationary
wage increases.
There have been plenty of
plain understandings between
the Government and the leaders
of organized labor; plenty of
announcements that the Little
Steel formula was a basic pro-
gram; plenty of declarations
from the Big-3 labor union
heads in Washington that there.
would be no strikes while nego-
tiations were pending for settle
ment of labor disputes. And
still the Labor Board ran for
cover when there was a dark
cloud that threatened a thun-
dershower. Director Byrnes
seems to have been the first man
in all the string of Presidential
appointees to handle labor trou-
bles and display intestinal forti-
tude. Apparently the workmen
will find that they can tie to
him and be sure to get justice
for themselves and their en-
