 EEHEEEEHEH 
THEY NEVER DIED ON THE CARDS WITH RlCKEY, BRANCH FEARS SOME WILL FlNIeEa As DOD0ERBs THERE'S LITTLE SPEED IN TIE oLD PLAHERs MoNRR

New Yoek, April ll.-"rhey never de on the Cardinals" la an old base ball saying, or was while Branch Rickey was running the slave mar ket for sam Breadon.
 Dealer Hickey sold ball players while there was . market, let them crack Up on some other club. An athlete didn't have Co stAgger on hlS plns for Hickey to discern that hc hAG lost a step somewhere along tho route. Hickey knew more about tho St. Louis pitchers than they know about themselves,
 So you can imagine RickeyS hor- TOT when hO wNs drafted aS presis dent oe tho BrooklynS to Ind that hO had inherited an old ball play erS' home.
 Hickey discovered that an even dozen Dodgers were more than 70 years old. ETed EatEslmmonS iS Al, leo purocher 90, Curt Davis S7, Dolph Camllli SS, Billy Herman, Whit Wyatt and Hobo NewSom are a. Dixie Walker k g, Arky Waugh. an, Muscles Medwick, AugWe 0alan and Efenchy Bordagaray are Sl.
 Then, in N frantic effort to ob. tain replAcements in wartime, Hickey, engaged the Al-yeNr-old Paul Waner,
 With Pete Relscr and Pee Wee Reese ln the Army, this collection of Dodgers ls going to he the slow est club ln memory. It's going to be Q great club for hitting Into double plays and not making many,
 Vaughan and, unusually enough, owen, the catcher, represent just about All the speed there Is tn the party, With owen, t tS baserunning SRvvy moro than SwittneSs, He takes the right lead, has the knack ot breaking Nt the right time.
 Vaughan beats out many Q hit, and flcetness Afoot Is his only ate tribute aS a ShortStop, When VRugl- an came Go EhhetS Field last spring, and was switched to third base, it was admitted that he had been mis- cast in Pittsburgh for Q decade, The ArkansAw Traverl can't go to htS night, has to straighten up to throw, so loses time in getting the ball away,
 with Herman moved to third, and Vaughan back at ShortStop, teamed with their Able 0losSop or Alex KaMpourlS, both of whom would experience dlcufIllty making the Phlllies in . normal year, tho Dodgers aren't going to have the sllekeSt second base combination tn the business,
 It k ago and the consequent lack Of mobility, however, that ts both. ing Rickey more than anything else, That iS what makes Hal Peck shooting oiI a pair of hts toes in . hunting accident last fall even more tragic, Peek, who led the American Association in total hits, really could pick 'em up and lay 'Gm down,
 Rickcy tells you frankly that three or four of the best Dodgers have slowed up painfully, and they were not Charley paddocks in the first place,
 Under ordinary conditions there would be Q lot of travelling out oi Ebbets Field thiS season, but the manpower problem being what it is, Hickey has no way ot mending what he realizes Is sad situation, Because of circumstances over which he has no cortrol, Branch Hickey k very much afraid that more than one ball player Is going to die on the Dodgers,

Over the land, the Victory gardens

supper before. And probably never
had more fresh. sweet and luscious
vegetables.
But | wandered over farm re-

through q wood lot beside a shrunk-
en- stream, stained brown from the
yellow leaves that carpeted it, how
all the living things were anguish
ing with thirst. Twigs snapped I'M
der ones feet like dry bones, there
was an ugly growl instead Of hap
by hum from the insects-it seemed
that only the tough blue-bottles could
survive. Net far from the stream
where the earth in the bed of a
spring was still damp, one cricket
was singing gratefully but there
were few of his fellows about.
Leaves on tall weeds hung to the
stem like a flag at half-staff on a
day when no breeze stirs, one yell
low-headed flower stood out in a spot
of color, it looked like a very sleepy
little girl, her damp locks glued to
her face almost concealing her tired
smile.

Retaining Program

he-I raining Program
Similar provisions must be made
for war workers as war industries
close or change over. Meanwhile.
the government will maintain cen
tiers where assistance and refrain
ing for civilian jobs can be arranged
In order to prevent too rapid at
tempt at change-over of industry. a
moderate policy of continuation of
war contracts some of which can be
continued in the national good.
Of course. nothing can be done
permanently to stabilize the labor
situation without a rapid expansion
Of peace-time industry toward goal
of full employment It is we'll un-
derstood even by the most fervent
of government planners that private
industry and not the government
must eventually furnish the employ
ment
Already industry is offering plans
of its own but it cannot be expected
to do the whole job. One suggestion
is that government loans be made to
industries turning to peace-time pro-
duction in proportion to the number
of men such industries employ.
Business cannot take over the bur-
den alone In 1889. we were at
peace although We were making a
lot of war supplies for the Allies.
Then Al million workers we're en-
ployed in munitions making. Eight
and six-tenths millions were work
ing on farms or agricultural pur-
suits. AT the end of last year, the
workers in war plants had more
than doubled They we're los mil
lions In agriculture, unemployment
has not greatly changed, compare
lively speaking; farm workers
amount to 80 millions. But the men
in the armed forces more than dou-
bled. In the same period the I'M
/ employed had decreased from 81
millions to | million. (Some Of these
we shall always have with us-the
lame, the halt and, of course, the
lazy.) But it is estimated there
we're 100000 persons jobless and de-
serving work in July of this year
There may be points to the COM
mittee's plan to which objections
will be raised. II is not offered as
a working drawing, merely as a
basis of discussion, but how much
better such O procedure is than the
policy after the last war when the
soldier was a football and where
each congress tried to vote more
dollars out Of the treasury without
rhyme or reason, money which
didn't provide jobs, which in many
cases, pitifully failed Of its purpose,
and in others simply filled the cof-
fers of the bootlegger and the shark
and left the recipient nothing.

The board points out that victims
of the war are already coming back
and the time is ripe. Only the other
day. | went through Walter Reed
hospital here and saw some of those
victims. Saw photographs Of the
conditions in which they come back
and others showing what medical
skill has done for them. I also saw
the workshops where wounded men
are being rehabilitated, fitted to take
up work which, in spite of their
handicaps. they could learn to do.
This plan emphasizes the need for
an orderly rehabilitation. II is inn
portant to get every man who can
be spared from the armed forces,
the moment he can be spared with
out threatening the nation S security,
back into civilian life. I know how
glad / was when got out of uni
form into civvies after the last war
But the report emphasizes that
still more important than speed is
order in rehabilitation. I'VE not
only want the men out of the armed
services, we want to get them into
peace services where skills and abil-
tiles can be fully recognized, uti-
lized and rewarded That is the
thesis of the planning board.
Responsibility for the placement
of veterans in industry is acknoWl-
edged by the unemployment divi-
sion of the selective service system
under the selective service act The
selective service system is not per-
feet but considering the job il had to
do, it has worked out in a manner
that is triumph Of the democratic
method. Draft boards are groups
OF "neighbors' who pass upon each
registrant, and on that basis, select
or reject him. The same system will
put the soldier back into his old job
if his old job is there, and If he can
fill it. But many had no jobs. Others
for one reason or another will be I'm.
able to fill the ones they had before
the war. These cases must be taken
care of.
Boards Principles
Business has been shuff1ed anc
shifted about just as the men them
selves have 1t may be difficult tt
get man and job together. The
problem is intricate but the com
mittee has tried TO lay down certain
| principles. Here they are:
l. Three months furlough at tht
end of the war at regular base pay
not to exceed $500 month, plul
family allowances.
2. Beyond that time, if necessary
unemployment insurance for q
weeks fer these who register Will
the government employment serv
ice
3. Special aid and counsel regard
ing REIMBURSEMENT and compensation
4. Special provision, including tut
ton and allowance, for the continu
alton of education interrupted by TIL
war or to follow special course 0
training.
