"First Champions Day" At
 Hamilton Park June 9th

crate 20th anniversary birthday party program which will be staged June 9th at Hamilton park.
 Invitations were placed in the mail today by Chairman Shea for all members of the Cards team which defeated the St. Francis Ca- dets to for the title in that be forgotten contest at Brassco park in August of 1923, a game which was played before a crowd of $500 bowling and highly partisan fans. Two Of the members of the squad are deceased, John "Divie" Mulhern, the winning pitcher, and "Linco" Stack, the teams star first sacker.
 The club was coached by Joe Bro- phy and managed by Ray Beck and included Rev. Thomas Shea, Dr. Tssif Corey, Francis Pick Me Grath Happy" Shea, Jim Shea, "Hookers' Shea, and Jackie Deg nan. The latter named arc expected to be on hand for the anniversary and will be presented with individ- ual awards by the league emblem atic of the winning of the first championship.

 Hills Face AvigS
 In the meantime, although all members of both the Middlebury and NaugatuCk camps who clash in this coming Sundays headliner are straining at the leash, Manager Pat Quilter of the unbeaten Washing ton Hills is experiencing consider able difficulty keeping his charges on edge for their next game with Tony Romaniello's Aviglianese which has in it's fold a very cap- able young pitcher in the person of Ted" Grabeck.
 "Our gang is too busy looking ahead to the June 9th meeting with Naugatuck to take this Avigs game too seriously" said Manager Quilter this morning Pat has been trying to instill in his "rampaging" crew the danger in taking the Ayigs too lightly but to no avail. The Hills worked out at Washington park last night and although it has been rumorcd that several new faces would appear in the lineup Sunday, Manager Quilter insists that he will stand pat" on the ar ray that has compiled an unbeaten record in the three games played against the Sacred Hearts, Scovills and Middlebury.

l'Ok weeks lAelc nave DeeH IOttCdSlS OF
Germany's renewed attack on Russia.
Yet the assault does not commence. Obvi-
ously, Germany hesltates.
There are stories of army opposition TO
Htlers disposition TO risk everything on
decision in Russia. that Gen. Won Book,
having resigned in protest against a renewed
offensive, has been returned 70 his post, his
judgment accepted.
There are other reports thai needed sup
plies are found to be insufficient that
strategic bombing behind German lines has
affected the campaigns preparations.
Meanwhile the Russians seem very con-
fdent and Stain seems content with the plan
of operations of the Joint high command,
which assuredly he must know all about.
What can be this plan? Does it involve
operations that may prevent the German
offensive, and, if ii were attempted threaten
it with complete disaster? We cannot, Of
course, know what this plan is. Here is
conjecture offered for consideration.
Following the capture of North Africa
preparations have gone forward for attacks
in the Mediterranean. Doubtless, these
preparations are on large scale. Allied
fleets of cargo vessels tankers, troop ships
continue to move in and out of Gibraltar.
Every important port on the coast Of
North Africa and Of Syria may be filled at
this moment with the vessels md equipment
for Allied invasion. There IS little conceal
ment of the fact that this invasion will fall
on the two main groups of islands in the
Mediterranean the islands of Sicily, Sardinia
and Corsica, and the many Greek islands of
the Aegean Sea We may be almost certain
that these attacks are coming, What Will
they accomplish
CAPTURE Of Sicily and possibly also Of
- Southern Italy with its naval base Of
laramie, would seem necessary TO end com
pletcly the danger TO shipping in the Medi-
tcrranean
Capture Of Sardinia and Corsica would
mean an advance Of our bombing power and
eventually our storming power, close 20
France and Northern Italy. TO Genoa and
Marseilles. In the Eastern Mediterranean the
capture of islands there would bring our
bombers within 400 miles of the Rumanlan
oil fields.
The threat Of destruction from the sky
might be enough TO force Rumania out of the
embrace Of the AXIS.
From these islands Of the Greek sea,

Candid Riot Reports

FFJCTAI, reports 10 the city council by Mayor jefrcs
~ and Police Commissioner Whcrspoon must impress
fair minded readers with conviction that Detroit officials
met the savage impact Of last weeks rotinG alerty and
m,oagtatv.
1I BON reports were fortnight aud convincing docu-
mems They were written effectively and with appar-
emf e.r 10 gloss over mistakes If judgment direction.
Sr.e tho mot, criticism has poured in on Detroit
authorities from a ever America for not subduing it
more rapdly. on ths point tae mayors paper and the
police commissioners paper revealed they had laboed
under -a-s-pprehaas-n thai in The event of such a
disturbance United States troops would be available
within an hour.
THAI Was a costly misunderstanding But 1t was an
1 honest one.
4le4t fairness to AtsHerJeffties
and Commissioner Wthcrspoon, must say that
the mayor told newspaper executives more than year
agu that he had been promised adequate aid by federal
troops in AN hour less should riotng large scale
sabotage at any time require call for help.
Certain facts in relation the ret have beer-s self
evident for = lang time.
one Of these Facts is that the police department IS
bad1 undclmanncd and has been since the oppression
Back in 1881, Gen Pickert then commissioner, asked
for POO additional mounted police His request
denied foriar6 of funds Today the department $50
men under It's reduced budget quota.
T ARLY in the draft this newspaper protested the
l. seectVe service practice of drafting policemen. We
argued then that a warproduction like Detroit
good policeman was valuable to his country stay
ing on his job than joining the army navy
And we heartily agree with Commissioner Wther
spoon who declared in his report:
Il do believe there is police department in the
United States, though equipped with full compile
sufficient in number for all normal routine
police duties, that would be of adequate strength to
handle a serious riot with its own forces
HAYOR JEFFRIES' report echoed that opinion in the
w following language:
The Detroit police department cannot prevent
of racial hostilteS. That its function
and that rs Within its power. II has the responsibility
TO stop them when they haves started guarantee you
now, that if there any riots they will be
queled faster and more sterny than before"
The reports will be criticized by unreasonng minority
agitaors They will be sneered at by subversve elements
who opposed to police and civil authority merely
because they institutions of orderly society
But the vast majority of Detroiters will look them
with favor They Will feel that the mayor and police

THERE is more than good chance that tie
i diplomacy of the United States will sue
coed in the Balkans.
Suppose it does. This is the bitter out
come which the German command is facing.
For sudden opening of these countries to
our armies and to our invasons would change
the whole position of the German armies in
Russia
Allied naval vessels could move through
the DardanelIes and the Bosporus and iAto
the Black Sea, utilize the Rumanlan port Of
Constanza. threaten the German hold on the
Crmea and the lower Dnieper valley.
This great right flank of the German
armies in Russia would be exposed 10
disastrous attack if the United Nations were
in full possession of the southern and eastern
shores of the Black Sea.
Even as a mere possibility, il is posi-
bllty which no soldier responsible for the
German armies in Russia can neglect It is
one. under the menace of which, no competent
commander would undertake a renewed cam
paign TO destroy the Russian armies
Certainly here is a reason for the hest
tation. Ii is a sufficient reason II very
strongly suggests that there will be no Ger
man offensive in Russia this summer
It even justifes the expectation that the
German armies may retire again, draw back

invasion of the continent is brought closer.
Landings in Hellas or Macedonia might follow
at points relatively remote from the enemy's
central reserves.
However, in addition to these military
moves diplomatic campaign of exceptional
energy is being waged over the Balkans and
in Turkey 1t seems possible that Our Allied
diplomacy may win.
Turkey may be induced to abandon
neutrality and become one of the United
Nations. Rumania, whose fidelity 10 the
Axis cannot be counted upon, may take the
chance Of breaking with Germany
Reports continue that Rumania, through
neutral ofices-seeks terms of-s surrender.
Even Bulgaria, a country of Woodworking,
tough straightforward peasants, has shown
great unwiingness to cooperate with the
Axis has refused to supply auxiliary divisions
to assist in the conquest of Russia. Bulgaria
is profoundly attached TO Russia by many
ties, including that of gratitude for her own
independence.
