Death Takes
Famed Casey
.Of'Mudville'

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 Up /
- Daniel NJ. Casey, who claim
ed he was the original Casey
at the Bat" and pitcher for the
Philadelphia baseball team in
1887, died in George Washing
ton Hospital yesterday after an
extended illness. He was 80
years old.
In an interview with Wash
ington newsmen several years
ago, Casey said il was back in
1887 in a game between the
Phillies and the New York Gil
ants that he came TO bat for the
"Mudville Nine" in the ninth
inning with two men out and
the bases full. The count had
gone 3 to 2.
The pitcher, I don't recall
who he was, burned one over
the plate said Casey. And
what a miss il was.
He said Ernest Thayer, Phil
adelphia sports writer scrubbed
a poem and showed it to him
after the game, Then Thayer
gave it to De Wolf Hopper, the
actor who made it famous by
his recitation, Casey said.
Casey broke into professional
baseball in 1884 with Whining
ton in the Eastern League. The
next year he went to Indianap-
oils, then to Detroit and finally
to Philadelphia. IN 1887 he
of frank, confidential exchanges
pitched SO games, winning 38,
losing twelve and hurting two
tie games.
Leaving baseball in 1891 he
and his wife moved to Bingham
ton, NJ Y, where he worked as
a street car conductor until he
retired, moving to Washington
in 1888. Four years later the
Caseys moved TO Four Corners,
Md, and later to suburban Sill
yer Spring, Md.
He is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Mary Casey and a daush-
ter, Mrs. ID. M. Griswold Of Sill
YER Spring.

Father of Five
Appeals for
CIemeney

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 8 Up,
"A 52-year-old oil field worker,
who reared family in Louisi-
ana after escaping from Missouri
State penitentiary in 1919, car
.ried his plea for freedom to Gov
efnor Sam H Jones today.
Ben Anderson, father of five
children from a marriage after
his break into the swamps of
Missouri, finally settled in New
Iberia, La, and has been declar-
ed IAN ideal father, husband and
citizen" by Mayor William
Lourd and other friends there.
Governor Jones planned to
hear his eXtradition case today
to determine whether Anderson
should be returned to Missouri
to repay that State two years
of a term he owes, or be freed.
II am glad" said Anderson,
"that this will be decided once
and for all. I've always tried to
do right but back in my mind,
I've always known there would
be showdown on my past"
Anderson drew five-year
sentence in 1916 upon conviction
in Jasper County, Mo, for sec
ond degree torgery-signing a
check while drinking with fell
low oil field workers. When he
escaped into the M S souri,
swampS in July 1919 he still
lacked two years of serving his
time.
This is the debt Missouri wants
liquidated.
After touring the oil fields in
Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana,
Anderson married and settled at
New iberia.
When war came and it was
necessary for Anderson to have
Identification papers to travel
in coastal areas, the Missouri in
cident turned up.

Baby Starts Life
Under Infamous
Hitler HANDICAP

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 - (P)-
The seventh baby in nine years
has arrived at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Mittel in
Queens, and he has been named
Adolf Hitler Mittel.
Eyes, sir, the baby's name is
Adolf Hitler and it's not a joke,
declared the father, an unem
ployed WoodWorker.
THE real Adolf Hitler doesn't
mean anything to me, but I'm
of German Austrian descent and
that is one reason why l picked
the name. don't think the name
will be handicap, because after
all there are lot of people named
after persons in the same class
as Hitler, such as Napoleon, Cae-
sar and others.
Hell grow up and be good
man despite the name"

Express Some Concern
Rotion Comes Close to Figures
for Average Consumption in 1910

dren, 1888; boys and youths.
1.3l.
These figures, of course, in
clude casual or play" types.
Some of the trends indicated
in the days conversations:
/. That's all the shoes I'll be
able to afford, anyway"
2. Plans to purchase higher
quality shoes, spending more to
get longer wear out of each
pair.
3. Father and mother of
children who are hard on shoes
will have to wear their own
shoes longer. The youngsters
may have to cut down on Utter
bug dancing.
4. People will take better
care of their shoes, get them
repaired oftensr and wear old
ones in bad weather.
S. More women probably will
wear slippers (not rationed)
around the house.
6. One conversationalist sug-
gested women might wear more
sensible" shoes - but some of
the women said they hoped
footwear wouldn't become too
standardized"
7. Our interviewees seemed to
think wooden soled sh o S
wouldn't be popular, except for
some play shoes.
8. People won't be apt to
spend ration stamps on play
shoes.
This raised a point mentioned
in the ration order - that if
ratiOning results in little de-
mand for certain types of foot
wear now in stock, the OPA may
take them off the list and per-
NIT them to be sold out unra-
toned.

BY JAMES MARROW
and GEORGE ZIELkE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 - up
- In as many conversations as
we could manage in one day, We
found the average reaction to
the shoe rationing order was:
Its OK. with me-"
The shoe problems of the in
dividuals questioned varie d
widely, as might well be expect
ed, but each one expected to
"get along somehow" in spite
of doing more walking than in
peacetime.
Greatest concern was express
ed by a couple of young women
who said they wore out shoes
in six or eight weeks, and by
fathers of larger-than-average
families, whose children will
make heavy demands on the
family's rations.
Some seemed treasured by a
provision in the rationing order
that local boards can issue ad-
ditional certificates in the cases
Of need"
One question which came up
early elected from OPA the in
formation that infants ration
books may be used by other
members of the family (since
infants soft-soled shoes aren't
rationed) - but also a caution
that, after all, a child at about
the age of year begins wear
ing hard-soled shoes, which are
rationed, and any gain" by
parents of infants will literally
wear off as the child grows old
er.
The ration of three pairs a
year comes very close to the
Department of Commerce fig
ures on average consumption for
1910.
While sales have increased
greatly in the last two years, the
per capita consumption of all
types of shoes for 1910 was 3.07
pairs; for women it was 361;
for men, 2:01; misses and chill

There are many other services which the mining operation performs. All Juneauites know that if the mine had not been operating few months ago when Gold Creek broke through it's banks, if the crushed rock turned out by the mine had not been available, much damage would have resulted to property.
 It is understandable that the workmen of the mine should desire more money But it is also under standable that all workers projects other than those contributing directly to the effort want and may need money
 Living costs have increased quite a bit No one can deny that
 Also it is understandable that if the Alaska Juneau is losing money, and it stands to lose much more it would be unwise to continue operate. No say how long the will last
 But in Juneau today, as all over the United States in spite of the higher cost of living and higher taxes, it is hard to find any person who is not getting enough food shelter and clothing to live very comfortable life-a million times more com fortable for those at home than the boys on the fighting front who doing their job for a few dollars month
 To date, we have failed to anything which resembles sacrifice on the home front certainly nothing that compares to what the fighting are going through.
 Several thousand miles away in the nations capital, soon the National War Labor Board will decide what is going happen the Alaska Juneau Perhaps it will compare the pay received here with that received by common labor in Washington. It would be just logical Spokane.
 We not saying that the boys of the Alaska Juneau don't deserve raise Certainly they do. Wages paid by contractors-which have forced the wage price climb Alaska mainly responsible for inequalities
 But to grant increase isn't going to solve the problem. That would not be the end of it. Only the end of the war will be the end of the problem
 However, if the mine closes, and such is the statement if higher wages are ordered-nothing is gained
 And the city of Juneau will be most of all the loser.

which he revealed the manner in which his cabal kept all the $500 officers of the Argentine Army un- der control We required each of- ficer to write out his resignation" " Perrone explained, and we keep it for use whenever desired"
 Another terrorist member or tne new government is Assistant Police Chief Lugones, who under the Uriburu dictatorship was nicknamed "Uriburu's torturer." Lugones has organized a new Gestapo which so permeates the cafes that it is un- safe for anyone to criticize the Government.
 Pro-Nazi Argentine police have used the foreign utilities as their special whipping boys, and confined the head of one Swiss company, to his office for ten days, after which he was ordered to stay at his home for another ten days. No charges were lodged against him.

and Share, William Reece and Da- vid Watson, were detained in a po- lice station from tweve to twenty four hours, for no reason whatso- ever. Finally. they were released after being made to sit all the time in one chair without moving.
 Sitting in a chair is the favorite form of Argentine punishment. An anti-Nazi merely sits in the po- lice station night and day for a week, waiting for the police chief who never turns up. He is not all owed to move from the chair for 6 days. Then he is released.
 Meanwhile, foreign utility com- panies have had to open their books to Argentine inspectors, in one case as far back as 1912.
 This is only a part of the new Nazi regime which has gone ber- serk in the pampas, and whose gold the U. s. Treasury is trying to per- suade Secretary Hull to hold here. So far, MT. Hull has permitted six gold shipments to leave New Or leans.

Russian defeat had turned to vic- tory at Stalingrad, and when it was quite obvious even to doubting Ar gentines that the Allies would come out victorious.
 The revolution was engineera within a few hours, with the loss Of thirty lives. The Army simply took command. The men who led the Army were, almost without excep- ton, friendly to Germany. Many of them had been educated there. An even greater number had been care fully cultivated by the Nazis.
 And what most people don't know is that many Argentine Army of ficers, paid meager salaries, had borrowed heavily from German friends. Some of them, though not pro- German at heart, were subject ed to blackmail and threat of ex- posture regarding these debts unless they played the Nazi game.

Jap Use of Gas
Cincinnati Enquirer

The American public has read and heard so much of Japanese atrocities most brutal of which to have been directed against the Chinese that it is not shocked to note, with growing frequency in Chinese dispatches references to of poison gas by the Japanese Certainly, the Japs have committed far inhuman crimes than this and one would doubt for minute that they would shrink from use of if it fitted their purpose and would tend to give them the advantage
 One battle report the other day listed Chinese high command charge that the Japs had used gas l3 times in single day. Should it fit theiI battle plans and provide them opportunity for victory, they could be expected to use gas against American troops However, the Japs are likely to go slow on this because they must know that the Americans prepared to reply in kind if this is attempted. And they should have learned by this time that our adapt themselves quickly any type warfare even the jungle fighting at which the Japs were supposed to be masters.

THE ALASKA JUNEAU

A petition is being filed with the National War Gold Mining Company. appealing directive order of the Regional War Labor Board in Seattle which instructs the company to grant an increase of IA cents an hour for all labor at the mine retroactive May l. l943
 The e~local War Labor Board panel, Juneauites will remember, recommended increase of 10 cents an hour The Seattle board based this figure on the prevailing rates for common labor in Spokane, Wash ington, with differtial of 20 percent added
 There is every probability that if any increase is ordered by the National board the Alaska Juneau which has been operating at loss for some time, will close down opel ations
 In fact the President of the company has stated that unless a substantial increase in becomes available and that is very unlikely at this time. further adverse War Labor Board decisions will force the mine to shut down.
 If this happens, the likelihood that the venture will begin operations after the ends is not probable.
 Not only would the closing of the mine take from Juneau largest industry but during certain times of the year when the company supplies electric power to the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, it would leave the city without adequate power. And during cetrain times of the year when water is used there is not enough otherwise for drinking and for fire fighting the closing of the mine would also create a dangerous water shortage.
