The wartime story OF the hun.
dreds Of smaller manufacturers in
Michigan is twice amazing.
First. that so many manufactur-
ers sent out an SOS. TO Uncle
Sam to save themselves from a
ruin. caused by war conditions
Second, that the Smaller War
Plants Corporation has no complete
record Of the so s. calls. available
for the press Bet the best specific
information reveals that: 1879 firms,
large and small. have prime con-
tracts. totaling S45,251. 900. Four
hundred ninty two have received
sub-contracts. totaling S35.454.000.

duplication.

shipped off to the Rochester farm. So, baseball writers have learned to keep their fingers crossed when they write pieces about rockies, even when managers are enthusiastic.
 Trips Expected
 Some of the spring trips were pretty expensive, but several clubs, through economies and guarantees from the Southern cities, managed to get back good slice of their expenditures. And, the rest could be written off to advertising.
 Cap Anson started it all. Back in 1886 he took his champion Chicago White Stockings to Hot Springs, Ark. And a decade later, the Balti- more Orioles went to Macon, Ga. Tn 1901 Connie Mack's Athletics trained at Jacksonville. Fla. And five years later, John McGraw cre- ated quite a sensation by taking his New York Giants clear across country to Los Angeles. Savannah and Hot Springs were favorite spots for years, but in recent seasons Florida and California have drawn most of the clubs.

T0TEMIC EMBLEM
 OF EARLY DAYS
 I5 ON VIEW HERE

Reminiscent of one burning is- sue of a century ago is a recently acquired totemic emblem, present. ed by the U. s. Forest Service Bu- reau, and now on display in the Territorial Museum-the original Abraham Lincoln figure carved by the Tongass Indians in 1867 or 1868.
 Work of the Great Emancipator and passage of the Thirteenth Amendment wrought changes in Alaska as great as those in the deep South and freed races other than Negro, Alaskans are reminded by the story of the Abraham Lin- coin totem pole
 For with the purchase of Sew ards Icebox" in 1867, the thirteenth amendment was made effective in the Territory and unexpectedly brought release and freedom to third of the natives of AL aska.
 Among those who were suddenly freed from marrying and abuse were the GanaXadi, or Tongass In- dians, who had been bounded by the tribes of the Wolf phratry and had finally made a last stand on Village Island.
 Further Trouble for Natives
 Not a good choice because the site was on the direct route of the Thlinget and Haida Indians when they made their annual treks for candle fish or ouligan, the Tongass natives only found surcease when, with the purchase of the Terri tory, the United States set up a fort there. The natives speedily built a village under the protec- tion of the fort, and in gratitude for the peace so unexpectedly achieved, wished to honor the per- son responsible.
 That man, they were told, was Lincoln. Shown picture of the President, they carved a remark able likeness which stood at the top of the raven totem pole. It was erected on Tongass Island, and today it's replica stands in Totem Square, just outside of Ketchikan, at Saxman.
 The original figure now in the Museum, was preserved and re- produced through the efforts of Frank Heintzleman and the reha- ailitation program of the U. s. Forest Service, which began at tempts to restore the village.

LAGUARDIA E
 OUT OF FOCUS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-Mayor LaGuardia's dimout of New York City's traffic lights is unnecessary and dangerous, in the opinion of OCD officials in Washington. They lemember that LaGuardia was once head of the Office of Civilian De- fense, but point out that things have changed since he left. One striking change is the improvement in it's scientific personnel.
 This scientific opinion says that LaGuardia has brought unneces- sary hazard to New York traffic by painting out all red and green traffic lights except for thin cross.
 This was intended to contribute to the dimout, but absolutely un- necessary because colored traffic lights have practially no effect on the sky glow" Also it is dangerous because the lights are difficult to distinguish in the daylight.
 LaGuardia's system was bor- rowed from the British. But Lon don has only minimum of traf- fic moving, and has full black out every night, all night. New York's blackouts are only for short periods, and then all lights, includ- ing traffic lights, are turned off completely.
 Thus the New York thin cross es" are useless in blackout an d dangerous in dimout. Tn short, Washington officials think LaGuar- dia ie n1lt of fncl1s

B. B. SPRING
 TRAINING IS
 TO BE TESTED
Value of Usual Procedure to Come in for Real De-
 Cision This Year
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Features Sports Editor

NEW YORK-It looks as though next season will give us a pretty good answer as to the real value of spring baseball training. noQee That is, if the clubs train in the north near home or make a short trip to the Carolinas, as some now seem likely to do.
 Along about June there may be some evidence as to whether the lack of the usual warm sessions in Florida, or California, has handi- capped the players in getting in shape, particularly the pitchers. i In past years, many players and several managers have said the spring drills were too long, that three weeks would suffice instead of the customary six weeks.
 Then, some have held that the early training over such long per- iod has done more harm than good Several Brooklyn players felt that the hot Havana sun took too much out of them.
 Publicity Values
 It is certain that the publicity value of the. trip has been one of the chief reasons for spring train l ing. It served to get baseball news in the home town papers weeks be- | fore the season opened. It also spread the gospel of baseball in the hinterlands, particularly the exhibi- ton games on the way north.
 It was a proving ground for re- cruits. But most clubs bring their likely prospects up to the majors the last month of the regular sea- son and get perhaps better chance to inspect them then. And even after spring experiments, it often is mid-season before a manager has definitely made up his mind as to a rockies ability.
 recall two instances whein managers changed their minds very quickly down South. At Sarasota in 1888, Joe Cronin of the Red Sox spoke very highly of a Coast league youngster named Ted Williams. Well, before I could get a yarn out about the kid, he had been shipped to Minneapolis. And, at St. Peters, burg the same year, Frank F'risch was raving about the baseball pos abilities of pro-football's newest star, Sammy Baugh. But, a few days later, just about the time the papers were using my little profile on Singing Sammy, Baugh was
