 We would be able to supply Tur- key, who presently may declare war, especially if the Italians yield the Dodecanese Islands off her coast. We also could supply Yugoslavia. Her gallant patriot al1nscs, already aided by air by the British from Sicily, are reported to have seized part of the Vardar valley, on the Balkan inva- sion route.
 This report, if true, is especially significant because the Yugoslavs are operating in liaison with the British, whose TX and x Armies in the Near East now are reported preparing to invade the Balkans via Crete. That move would be greatly aided by Italys fall, which would weaken the German defense through loss not only of the Dodecanese stepping stones, but of the substan- tial Italian garrison in the Balkans.

PENNY MATCHING
 COSTLY PASTIME,

Raymond Cosgrove, of Waterbury was reported fleeced of $83 in Bridgeport Tuesday afternoon.
 Cosgrove told police a stranger at the bus terminal had invited him to match pennies for dollars. They were later joined by a third man, who was apparently in cahoots with the stranger, because in no time Cosgrove had lost $83 and the men had disappeared.

U. 5. Civilians
Get More Food,
Better Services

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20 (INS)
The government announced to-
day a series of moves providing
good news for the home front in
the way of more food. additional
typewriters and continuation OF
low priced services such as laun-
dering. dry cleaning and shoe
repairing.
The War Food Administration
disclosed that 100000 cases OF
canned string beans and tomatoes
will be released for civilian use,
To safeguard the supplying OF
low priced public services that
are important TO the cost of liv-
ing, the OPA set up specific con-
ditions under which persons who
supplied such services on March,
1912, or since, may drop them
and offer higher priced services.
EFFECTIVE DEC. 2
Effective Dec. 2, the ruling af-
fects all services covered by the
OPA services regulation. OPA
ruled low-priced services can be
eliminated only under the follow
ing conditions:
When specialized equipment
~ or supplies needed for eeHtiH9--
ing the service are not avail
able.
Continuance Of the service
would be in violation Of gov
eminent order or regulation, or
would be contrary to govern
mentally established standards
or policies, or would be rem
dered impracticable by them.
Discontinuance of the service
would enable the seller 10 main
tain other services Z h at are
more necessary 20 the commu-
), nifty concerned.
sOther suppliers in the COM
munity are able and willing TO
supply the service IA the needed
amount and at prices no greater
than the ceiling price.
EASE UP ON TYPEWRITERS
Meanwhile rationing regula-
tions affecting rentals and sales
OF used typewrlters were eased
by OPA as a result Of decreased
government requirements and the
resumption of limited production
Of new typewriters.

Trouble for Germany

BERN, Feb. 3 LP.-While the Naz
and Fascist press Of Europe was or

Turkey, the neutral press was quick
to pronounce 1t an important event
likely to cause trouble for Germany
In the words Of the Neue Zurich

might produce complications for
Germany" In the same vein, the
National Zeitung of Basel observed
that the first tangible result is that
1t makes it difficult for the Axis to
maintain its attitude that the pre-
ceding Roosevelt-C Churchill confer
ence at Casablanca was q mere
theatrical performance"
Politically and in a sense mill
tarily, the Zeitung said, the impor-
lance Of the Adana conference "can
hardly be overestimated." This
paper saw significance in the at
tendance Of Gen. Sir Henry Matt
land Wilson, commander OF an Al
lied army of half q million men in
the Near East, and commented
pointedly that the Dar1anelles
again will be important after the
war and Turkey knows that only
those active in the war will have a
place at the council table"

wise politician" such as Turkish
President Ismet Inonu, had joined

be attributed to very far-reaching

new YorK.-No one paid the
slightest attention when an old
bloke named Waner stepped up to
the plate as pinch-hitter for the
Dodgers the other afternoo and
raped a sharp single past Peanuts
LoWrey, the Cubs shortStop.
After all, they've been seeing Paul
Waner do that for 10 years. There
were seasons with the Pirates that
every time you looked up and saw
a Waner rounding first base. Lloyd
Waner was little less annoying TO
pitchers than his brother.
What the folks overlooked at Eb-
bets field the other afternoon was
the fact that 1t was Big Poison
Waner's 3100th hit in the National
league.
To grasp the significance of this
you must realize that only five play
ers In major league history have
made more hits. They are names to
conjure With-Cobb, Speaker, Honus
Wagner, Eddie Collins and Lajoie.
Waner easily might have finished
next to the IMMORTAL Tyrus Ray
mond Cobbs amazing 4191 had he
come up three years sooner. The
little man from Oklahoma was as
as formidable hitter as he ever
was when he broke in with the San
Francisco club in 1928.
The Seals keeping him on the
coast while he hit 1863, 1856 and .401
gives you rough idea of how more
plentiful capable players were at
the time.
Knocking off more than 200 hits
a campaign was nothing for Waner
while he was with Pittsburgh. AS
things are Paul will be fortunate to
,rass Napoleon Lajoie's 3242, the to-
AAl to which he is nearest.
The youth movement in Brooklyn
has him on the bench and old
baseball age has caught up with him
at 40. He put on cheaters in May.
That was the tipoff.

looked a pitcher in the face are fad

La Chance OF Lewiston, Me-, today
had successfully launched cam
paign for another title fight by
scoring his second win over Billy
Bates of Pittsburgh.
La Chance, 128 used a winging
left hand for 10 rounds at the
Auditorium last night to decision
Bates, 1874, whom he knocked out
here last month.
An eight round semi-final saw Al
Francis, 100, of East Providence
knock out Soldier Montoya, 1873,
of Fort Devens, Mass, in sex rounds.
In six round bouts, Steve Kronis,
1875 of Boston technically knocked
out Jose Fernandez, 129. of Dux-

Cerefino Bronco, 146, of Fall River,
Mass, decisioned Johnny Douo willo,

Woner Makes 3 Tooth Hit in National League;
Only Five Players Made More in the Majors;
Big Poison's War Club Left Little to Umpire

ing. Sight, swing and co-ordina-
ton made Waner fine golfer and
crack shot as well as a phenomenal
man with bat in his hands.
When he was in full stride, Wan
er's eyes were closed as the pitcher
committer himself in his motion.
They opened with the pitch and
gradually widened until the pitcher
suspected they were headlights as
the ball headed for the plate.
Everyone will regret Waner's re-
tirement, especially the umpires. A
grand character, he was the arbit-
ers' sweetheart, never squawked
about anything, never was put out
Of game. He left that tot he Aubi
likes.
Paul Waner operated on the very
sound theory that a ball close
enough to the zone to be called a
strike vas good enough to be hit.
That left very little to hte UNI
pire's judgment, put the problem up
to the defense.
