 New York, March - CU.P0 - There are going to be lot of cid faces In strange places when the major league baseball season opens next month.
 There will be . lot of new faces, too, for the manpower problem is becoming more acute every day us the clubs prepare for spring train. ing drills scheduled to begin week from Monday,
 Hardly day passes but what some baseball player doesn't join the armed forces or announce his in- tentlon to stay on the farm or in defense work. Some of the farmers or defense workers may not be sin. cere for there Is a Justified suspl- clon that some players are using their off-season jobs as excuses for more money on their le43 contracts.
 But whether it's Q wartime hold- out policy or not, no major league club will begin spring training with the usual large squads, Some of them may be lucky if they can field enough men the first day of prao- tlce,
 In order to egt teams together, opening day spectators are likely to sec outfielders playing the tntleld and vice versa. A lot of conversions are going to be necessary for there won't be any surplus talent,
 Several Switches
 The New York Yankees, although they purchased Nick Etten from the Phils, are talking of changing Pitcher Johnny Lindell Into first baseman; the Giants might have to use Hank Lieber, an uotAclder, on first If Johnny Mize, now IA, goes Into the army; Cleveland, with Les Fleming announcing that he Is stay- Ing in defense work and Hal Trosky that he is abandoning his come. back plans to stay on the farm, hos only one player on It's roster with first base experience-Cateher Otto Denning.
 There are shortages In other posi- tons, Minor leagues will flll some of them. It probably isn't going to look much like the baseball of tho | AtSb 9V ytuLb' A lOV VI HilUE lpHkuuTb who normally would be fRrmod out for more seasoning will Do holding down regular posts and SO will vet. erans who under onrmnl clreum- stances would Do seeing only part time, If my duty,
 OnG.Armed Player
 But club owners are going to do tho best they can, They are grab- ping oil players they cRn--Tofonte of tho International League even bought one-armed outfoldor.
 Judge KonesaW M. Landls, provid- ing Washington doesn't stop the game, has docreed that tho major will play this year 90 long "as we can field nine men on A team" If tho rate of service calls and tho number of players who decide to stay in defense or farm work doesn't go down, the majors may have to call on fellows like tho ono-armed outfielder to 1.-Two up to Lands promise.

nearby Ypsilanti, where the mother
Iof one of 1t. Harmon's friends in
China had word Tom was believed

said joyfully when he learned of the
Air Force announcement that Tom

accepted the news with a reverent
murmur, Thank God-again."
1t. Gary H. Hammond of Ypsilanti
had written his mother, Mrs. Charles
Hammond, that -four men '.' were
missing in a raid. One. We know

have rumors that two more are
coming also. We think that Harmon

Mccormack Clashes
with Mundt Over
House LEADERSHIP
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Mundt, Republican
OF South Dakota has acsused the
House Democratic leadership of fall
ing down on its job, provoking from
Majority Leader Mccormack a re-
Jolnder that had Congress followed
Mr.. Mundts lead in prewar days
the country would have had to
"capitaulate to Hitler and Hirohito.' ,
Mr.. Mundt, co-chairman of the
Republican Drive for Action Com
mlttee, had just concluded a speech
yesterday assailing Democratic las
situde" on legislation when Mr.. Nc
Cormack challenged him.
The South Dakotan's remarks. the
Democratic leader said, were in
terestlng, amusing" and "boastful
and reminded him of the story of
the rooster that crowed and took
credit for the rising of the sun"
Before the Pearl Harbor attack
Mr.. Mccormack declared. Mr.. Mundt
opposed action taken by the admin
lstration to prepare for war and
had his leadership been followed
the only thing we could have done
would have been to capitulate to
Hitler and Hirohito."
Mr.. Mundt reiterated in his speech
the determination of his group
which he said now numbers 64 mem
bers from 26 States, to keep Con-
gress in session daily, except on Sat-
urdays and holidays, until pending
legislation is disposed of.
Specific items on which the House
should be taking action, the Repub-
hcan group said, are: The Fulmer
bill for single food administrator,
postwar veteran rehabilitation
establishment of staff of experts
on the Appropriations Committee to
make economy an actualitv," in
Vestlgation of food waste and hoard
ing, and relief from edicts of "OPA
kangaroo courts
