Local IL Team
To Play

Local 12's baseball team, under
the managership of Ralph Mason,
will open its season June 10 when
it meets the AFL team at Willys
Park at 300 p. m.
The AFL has a good team
this year and is expected to make
good showing in the federation
lee gue.
Following is the roster Of Local
IL players: Joe Barbara, William
Carroll, Donald Parrish, Derl
Fountain, Donald Tucker, Al Vim
son, Bud Root, Chet Wolf, Gene
Moor, Norman Munich, Oscar Shan
teau, Richard Boyer, Paul Varnig,
Donald v. Keel, Robert Burkart
and Ralph Mason, manager.
Needs More Practice
Manager Mason has had a very
difficult time getting his charges
into shape due to the bad weather
which has caused many days to be
lost in practice. He still feels
that the team will shape up
and win its share Of games after
the season gets under way and the
team has had some actual games
to pep it up.
Mason also made it clear that
there still is room for any good
ball players who may still be avail
able and wish to play with the
Local IL team. Any players wish
ing to contact Manager Mason
may reach him by calling La. 1886

Tax Grcb
On In
Washington
Bv H. RICHARD SELLER

NEW YORK-(FP)-The big
gest tax grab in the history of the
U. s., with nearly eight billions
due to go to big industrialists, is
in the making in Washington, tax
consultants here said May 20.
Unless, under pressure from the
White House, house-senate con-
ferees on pay-as-yqu-go taxation
completely shelve the senate-passed
Ruml bill, less than 2f6 of U. S.
citizens will slice up most Of the
,0O0,000,000 melon.
And even the socalled compro-
mise 1870 Ruml plan which may
come out of the conference, will
still see s6,OOO,OOO,OO0 of tax
money rolling into the pockets of
the wealthy where it will become
the greatest wapon for initiation in
history.
Unions Oppose Ruml Plan
These were the facts presented
by labor tax experts as the AFL,
CIO and railroad brotherhoods put
on all-out campaigns to stop the
Ruml plan either in its full or in
its 1870 form.
If the house-senate conference
reports out either plan, only a
presidential veto stands in the way
of the tax grab. Labor is backing
the house approved Robertson :
Forand bill, which accomplishes
pay-as-you-go with only 2Ofo
forgiveness to the millionaires,
keeping 500 o ftheir taxes for
fighting the war.
How big a grab the senate's
Ruml program actually is was
demonstrated by the tax consult

GOOD FISHING

Despite the fact that the waters
in the streams have been high,
there has been some good fishing
reported in several quarters here
abouts. Nice strings of cats, pick
erel and bullheads have been taken
with worms, shrimp and some
craws as bait. On the Maumee at
Grand Rapids, the Portage, be-
tween Elmore and west of Port
Clinton bridge and along the Touis-
SAINT seem to be the most common
ly mentioned places.
GO-BUT HOW?
Harold L. Ickes, the cabinet mem
Der of many jobs, along with the
title of Coordinator of Fisheries,
says, go fishing, but do not use
gas" A little like the fond mama
who told her darling Nellie, "You
may go swimming, my darling
daughter, but do not go near the
water" Perhaps not quite SO bad,
but still hard to do.
The OPA ESQ what?) is going to
issue some instructions through
their field men regarding the use
of gasoline on fishing trips. A
spokesman will appear before the
Federated Michigan United Con-
servation Clubs at Iona next week
and reports from this will be
passed along as soon as possible,
to our readers.
LICENSE COST
In case you didn't already know
it, fishing licenses for resident
Ohioans are 60 cents; for nom
residents, 1925, and a special nom
resident permit for 10 days may
be obtained for $1.10. In Michigan,
resident and his wife are in
cluded in one license for $1.00; nom
resident for $500, and Today per-
nit for $1.00, with an additional
charge of so cents for the wife.
Indiana licenses are $1.50 for res
ident; 1925 for nonresident and
$1.00 for a special 14-day permit.
WANT YARNS
There are number Of good
fish yarns going the rounds of the
many shops represented by the
JOURNAL and we would certainly
appreciate the stories with names
and details so that we may pass
them on to the other boys and
girls. Send them into the JOUR
NAL and let the world know what
goes on when you are not on the

Anfi-Lubor Law

DENVER (FP)-A suit contest
ing the constitutionality of the new
Colorado anti-labor law, engineered
by the Christian Americans, was

Similar action was taken re-
Gently by AFL, CI0 and railroad

-:-War on All Fronts =

All over the world, the Amer.
ican soldier likes joke, even
when war puts him in a field
hospital. To keep him happy, the
American Red Cross girls of the
, hospital recreation groups help a
: lot. l was the first of these girls
to go to North Africa.
"I'd give months pay to talk
to an American girl" confided
one disconsolate boy. "This morn
ing when l stepped up to a neat
little French number and said
'Bonne jawer, comment alesse vu'
she breezed right past me! No
American dame would treat me
that way"
It's being unable to make them
selves understood by the feminine
sex over there that's one of the
hardest things for our soldiers in
North Africa, l found. l interpret
ed for an hour and a half to a
French lady for an American Of
ficer. His tactics were Anglo
Saxon directness, hers were Gallo
evasion. At the end of that time
the gentleman had no idea wheth-
er the lady was amused or merely
contemptuous.
This incident gives you only a
slight idea of the varied ways
that we Red Cross recreation
workers try to make ourselves
useful.
There was rumor that very
great American general had said
a year ago he would never "have
wanted women mixed up in a
war;" but after he saw what Red
Gross workers accomplished in
England he definitely wanted
them in Africa and right away.
Greeted by Soldiers.
! When our Red Cross group
docked in North Africa on the
first sunny day we had had for
two months, We were greeted by
shouts of welcome from the SOL
diers. "Speak American, lady,"
stfdX cried as they had in London
laimeds they had stopped us on the
, to trt just to hear the home
twang.
AS we drove up the roadway,
the populace of varying races and
religions who had learned Amer
icanisms fast, held up two fingers
in the Victory salutation, hoping
this would bring them chocolate

over again In the bars and lounges
of the seamen's service hotels stories
of the epic battle of the Arctic night
in which their CONVOY fought It's way
through to Murmansk.
Eleven of them, adrift In a winter
gale. are telling of how they drank
toast with their last half canteen
of water at midnight on New Year
eve and gave themselves up to
perish in the mounting waves.
There had been two other lifeboats.
One had overturned in launching
and all hands were lost. The other
had disappeared in the fog and
darkness and probably was lost
A few hours after that last toast
they were spotted from the air and
picked up. A little while later the
same ship picked up q Norwegian
sailor who had been adrift on
life raft for II days. One after
another, his II comrades had lost
darkness and probably was lost.
The sumptuous quarters now pro-
vided for them are so different from
the port lophouses where they used
to go for beds that they hardly can
believe the change is real, accord
ing to officials of the shipping adj
ministration.
Almost invariably the survivors Of
a torpedoed ship will sign up again
for another convoy. 1t is not so
much from a sense of duty, from
any yearning for self~sacriflce. There
are no false heroics. They go to sea
again because the sea Is their life.

League Record Is SET
As bisons Beat Lions
SummerhilI Of Buffalo
Runs Goal TotuI to 40

Washington's hockey Lions have
three more games to go in playing
out the string Of a disastrous season,
after which they will file their green
jerseys in moth balls while the other
six teams in the seven-team Ameri-
can League hold the playoff tourna-
ment. The Lions will play the Reds
here on Wednesday night and at
Providence on Thursday, then close
against Pittsburgh here Saturday
night.
1t was complete turnabout for
the Lions last night at Buffalo, with
the Bisons taking an 8-3 victory in
retribution for the singing 7-3 de-
feat handed them by the Lions only
the night before here. The triumph
enabled the Bisons to clinch second
place behind the leading Hershey
Bears and it also served as the
springboard for Bill Summerhill,
Buffalo right winger, to set league
record for goals in one season as he
pushed through Nos. 49, 80 and 40.
This eclipsed the mark of Harry
Frost of Hershey, who last night
scored two goals for a total of 80 as
the Bears lost to Providence. So.
Another record was made when
Wally Kilrea, Hershey center, added
an assist to bring his total points
to 90, largest ever gathered in one
season in professional hockey.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY,


LONDON tBy MaiD There is
now new deal in the United King
dom for the men who are carrying
the heaviest burden in the crucial
battle of the Atlantic-America's
merchant seamen.
They have the icy decks, the
knife-edged winds. the Undertaking
darkness, the drifting icebergs.
Their nights are sleepless. Their
ships are blown up under them.
They spend foodless, waterless days
In open nfeboats. Their comrades
perish by the scores.
They are, for the most part,
nameless men. They wear no uni
forms. They have no hope Of any
decorations, any public notice, any
pensions, any care if they are dis
abled. The land feels strange under
their feet after the rolling and
pitching OF the decks. Their lives
are wrapped up in the sea fog and
when they come ashore they often
are helpless as children.
Up to a few months ago there
was nobody even to take them by
the hand when they landed. If they
needed medical attention because
of exposure they we're sent to hos
l, >itals until they were fit to be on
The streets again. Otherwise they
drifted aimlessly and unnoticed
through the slurns of strange cities,
often unable to find bed on the
cold winter nights. Only few
weeks ago the municipal authorities
of one port city complained because
they were crowding into empty
freight cars.
The soldier or Navy sailor on
leave can go to many places. There
is hardly a place in the United
Kingdom where the Red Gross can
not provide a comfortable bed and
a homelike welcome for him. He
can get American cigarettes. He can
drink American coffee. The rner-
chant seaman has no claim to any
