putting the home run leadership with
Detroit's Rudy York.
Chandler, though, represented the
acme of consistency. He was the
Yankees insurance against losing
streak. He held New York's pitch
ing staff together in a season when
Ernie Bonham was unimpressive and
Charley Wensloff sagged after a re-
freshing start.
To York, the leagues leading home
run hitter and top man in the vital
-batted-in department., goes the
runnerup berth. Rudy staged a nice
comeback, for early in the campaign
he was the leagues most booed
player. Detroit fans weren't SYM
pathetic with his slow start, but big
Rudy since has made em blush.
There must be some reason for
the assorted trash playing in White
Sox uniforms to be pressing Cleve-
land for third place and since non
playing Manager Jimmy Dykes isn't
eligible the finger points to Luke
Appling, the leagues leading hit
ter, as occupant of the No. 3 spot.
Mats Johnson Due Honor
Appling is winning the American
League batting title for the second
time and while his average this
season isn't as gaudy as in 1896,
when he hit 1888, he has been the
big boy in lifting Chicago into the
first division, where it doesn't
belong.
The Mats Bob johnson should get
the No. A berth, despite his recent
wabbly play at third base, where
he shouldn't be. 1t was Bob, re-
member, who kept the Mats within
striking distance of the Yankees for
many weeks with his timely hitting,
polished fielding and accurate
throwing. Earlier in the year he
filled in at third base nicely and
recently when Mickey Vernon was
injured he moved over to first base
and performed respectfully.
There are a total of 10 lines to be
filed, so in the remaining six slots
go Dizzy Trout of Detroit, Nick
Etten, Bill johnson and Charley
Keller of the Yankees, Vernon
Stephens of St. Louis and Dick
Wakefield of Detroit, with the Mats
George Case topping the list of
honorable mentions.

were 1000 conscientious DIRECTORS
in the country who were being per-
mitted to work on farms and in hos

that cit is proposed to send these
DIRECTORS to universities for training
in languages, foreign customs and
administration work which will fit
them for postwar jobs here and
in liberated countries"
The resolution regarded these OPP
portunities as special privileges" in
view of the fact that "there are
millions of our patrioic young
Americans who have left their
schools and places of employment
given up their civil liberties, denied
themselves every privilege of free
men in their own homes to serve in
the armed forces of our country
many giving their lives that our

HIGH POSTWAR
TAXES FORECAST

Boston, June 21-(UP)-A fur
Their decline in the purchasing pow
er Of the dollar and high individual
postwar taxes were predicted to-
day by the United Business Serv-
ice.
The service explained that impli-
cations for the postwar period are
more significant than the familiar
spiral of rising wages and prices
Interest on the national debt after
the war is expected to be equal to
the entire pre-War cost of govern
ment.
The service also forecast a $25,-
O0O,0O0,00O to $3000O,000,0 budget
for the postwar years with the in
dividual bearing most of the tax
burden.
The service said that the heavy
burden of taxation will have to be
taken care of by permanently
higher level of commodity prices &C
companied by a permanently high
err level for stocks.
Initiation, the service continued,
implies desire to exchange money
for some form of investment. The
service also predicted that stocks are
certain to be the most popular in
vestment in postwar years because
they are easier to buy and sell than
most other "inflation-hedge" media.

FOREMEN AT FORD
PLANTS END STRIKE

Detroit, June 81 CUP - The
strike of 5000 hourly rated foremen
which threatened production at the
Willow Run bomber plant and three
other factories of the Ford Motor
Co. ended today when the strikers
returned to work, company
spokesman announced.
Some of the strikers picketing the
plants returned to work at $3.50 a.
m. it was reported; and more were
expected to report for the morning
shift.
A preliminary estimate by the
company showed production cut
"only 10 per cent" by the walkout,
but later company statement said
executives were amazed" to learn
that per capita production during
the strike actually increased and
that as a result, 1--WE didn't lose a
thing" in output of war equipment.
A spokesman said this record was
made despite the fact the number
of men on the job was only SO per
cent of normal during part of the
stoppage.
In addition to Willow Run the
factories affected by the strike were
the River Rouge, Highland Park,
and Dearborn Plants.
The striking foremen are mem
bers of the Foremen's Association
of America, an unaffiliated union
and they did not attempt to prevent
any regular workers, who belong to
the United Automobile Workers
(CIO), from entering the plant
The strike basically was the out
growth of an Interpretation of
wage clause in an agreement signed
by the company and the association
last November. One foreman posted
a newspaper advertisement by the
union in Detroit papers. explaining
the unions position on a river
rouge bulletin boaord. He was dis
missed Saturday and 100 other
foremen at the plant walked out In
protest.
