tainly remarkable for the fact that

Klska with a garrison>of 10000 men

Attu and in which respect we were
prepared to serve them as well as we
could, but at Kiska and also to some
extent at Salamaua and Lac a
somewhat different mood seemed to
possess the enemy.
Evacuation and retreat in order to

BY HUGH FULLERTON, Jr,


NEW YORK, March 12.-The
Brooklyn Dodgers, to the undis-
guised glee of Branch Wesley Hickey,
are out in front in the metropolitan
player-signing race, but they're not
out of the woods in respect to getting
team together for the National
League pennant race.
Between chuckles as he announced
the signing of seven players yester-
day, to give the club a total of 20
under contract SO far, hickey ad-
mltted that some of the more i'm
portant members of the team still
were unsigned and that the entire
roster still left several things to be
decided.
Rookie Pitcher Chet Kehn, first to
sign Brooklyn contract for l943,
has wired in that he is about to be
inducted into the Army at his home
in San Diego, Calf
There are only two holdouts in
prospect, Rube Melton and Buck
Newsom-and they're not holdouts
yet; it isn't the 18TH" Hickey pro-
claimed. I've had an interesting
letter from Melton, dealing mostly
with the farm situation, but he asked
me not to give it any publicity. He
hasn't got the farm"
Money Still Worries Newsom.
That seemed to deal effectively
with the case of Melton, the pitcher
acquired from the Phillies for $30,OOO
and couple of players. If he gets
the farm. apparently, he'll carry out
his announced intention of retiring
to it. There's been a strong hint,
however, that raise in salary might
overbalance the rustic attractions of
North Cor is it South?) Carolina.
Melton, it is understood, was offered
the same salary that he received in
Philadelphia and he thinks he de-
serves raise.
Money, apparently, also is the
question with Newsom, who made a
favorable impression" when he
visited hickey a few weeks ago. but
not favorable enough to elicit an Of
fer of anything like the $4,000 he's
used to collecting.
Besides these two. there's Third

est communication did not clarity
anything; Dixie Walker, Who seems
content to continue as athletic direc-
tor Tor big Long Island war plant;
Lloyd Waner, who hasn't been heard

Vaughan has been given permis-

working In an Oklahoma City air
plane factory, has not acknowledged
the rather pointed" wire inquiring
about his intention OF remaining out
OF baseball.
AS for Owen, the Dodger president
refused to discuss him except to say
that Mickey, signed or unsigned, will
be few days late in reporting, but
almost in the same breath Hickey
said he's willing to trade good out
fielder for just fair catcher be-
cause the club lacks strength in that
