Mr.. Stimson noted that the over
all campaign is under Navy COM
mand, though all the troops ashore
on Attu are Army units, and said
that "in the landings and subse-
quent combat the Army is greatly
indebted to the Navy for its finely
co-ordinated support"
Reports on Other Fronts.
Touching briefly on other war
fronts. the Secretary reported:
There is lull on the North Afri-
can front, broken only by ceaseless
air raids against enemy positions in
the Mediterranean. Ground troops
are clearing the Tunisian battle
fields, collecting booty and count
ing the prisoners. The amount of
captured materiel-tanks, guns, air
craft, armor, trucks, rations and
other military supplies-"greatly
exceeds our earlier estimates"
Air attacks against Germany by
American and British bombers based
in England have caused widespread
devastation. and several new groups
of American flyers recently arrived
in England now are participating
in the aerial offensive. Mr.. Slim
son mentioned specifically large
numbers of the new Republic P-47
Thunderbolt, and said these pow
erful, swift, high-altitude fighters
are proving highly satisfactory in
combat"

drivers found guilty of violating the
order would tend to keep most mo-
torists in line. The fact that no
gas is available also will drive home
hard reality OF the situation he
added. ;
Heretofore we have had trouble
making the public realize the seri-
BUSINESS of the gas shortage because
they thought they could always get
some from some place. Now I think
they'll realize what we are up
against"
First Ban Difficulties.
The original ban was enforced by
OPA inspectors, Metropolitan and
Park Police, with the former bear
ing the brunt of the burden. The
inspectors reported on an average Of
Is to IS violators a night. Police,
on the other hand, issued a num-
ber of warnings but did not bother
drivers unless they were observed
in some other violation of trafic
laws.
Names of all pleasure driving
suspects were referred to the Dis
trict OPA, which, in turn, referred
them to local ration boards for
hearings. Much confusion resulted
from this as many persons were
found innocent of violating the rule
but their license numbers had been
jotted down because their cars
were found parked near theaters,
night clubs, bowling alleys or other
amusement places.
The storm Of protest resulted in
the OPA notifying suspected vio-
lators that their number had been
taken. Drivers then had several
days in which to explain the pres
ence OF their cars in the particular
area. Failure to appear or to present
excuses In writing resulted in the
suspects being called before a ration
board for a hearing.
Suspected drivers under the new
ban will be given fair hearing. Mr..
Thompson said today, and in a man.
ner which he hoped would avoid the
of a crippling procedural
burden on the local boards" He
said In all possible instances the
initial dealings with motorists will
be by mail and cases thereafter will
be referred to local boards.

made to detect violators and not

motorists work or with family or
personal necessity"
There was one major exception:
Members Of the armed forces on
leave or furlough will be exempt
from the ban to visit relatives or
make other social calls"
Ban Is ASsailed.
'Terming the new ban on pleasure
driving "a shame and a disgrace, ="
imposed to cover "the mistakes of
the OPA," Sol Herzog, counsel for
the Eastern States Gasoline Dealers
Conference, said in New York that
the order would continue ito destroy

Washington were dry before yes

There was little opposition from
the surprised enemy in the first
phase OF the Attu operation, Mr..
Stimson reported, and the troops
had little difficulty in establishing
strong beachheads which they later
were able to hold against japanese
counterattacks.

If there Is never another year of 1t, this year will be remem- bered as the greatest in the history of the good old Morgan Park League. Life being as 1t is. base ball can be expected to be no diff ferent, and the uncertain may camp on the doorstep of the Mor- gan and force it to become war casualty. Until that time, things are looking up.
 President Dan Donovan, the sage of the Victory Yard, who was voted back in as league head after returning from the wars. and to- gether with those rollicking cara vans of perambulating protoplasm. Joe Rafferty, Jim Mcdonald, Al Albeit, Paddy Sullivan and Jack Cavanaugh, things aren't so badly bent. That is the weak side color full reverse.
 Stepping things up to high scale attack on the high powered bril- liant side. the Morgan league can boast of a galaxy of major league stars. This group is headed by Babe Young, former Giant first base sensation, and probably the great est initial sacker since Terrible Terry; Hank Majeski, who played a great game of ball with the Newark Bears; Red Branch, for mer speed ball artist for the New York Yankees and Newark Bears. and many other big time headlin- CTS.
 Although Sir Red Branch was defeated by the Coast Guard Dol phins when he toed the mound for the Coast Guard Bears in the op- ener, it was quite evident that the old red heads soup bone hadn't got warmed up enough, but when it does, MT. Young and MT. Majes- Xxi, will find things a lot tougher along diamond row.
 Charlie Pinch's Electric Boat Trojans have all the necessary ingredients to be up around the top throughout the season, and with such gents as Chet Pavlok. Jim LaPietra, Freddie Mitchell and others, the men of Troy will be hard to stop.
 Another club that certainly will not take a back seat to any coun- try cousin are the Ockfords. They are stronger than last year and should make it very interesting

Chet Pavlok's big right arm and the educated bats of Tony Osinski, Jimmy McKenna and Freddie Mitchell, were too much for a visiting bunch of Mitchell Field soldiers and the Diesels' dia- mond inaugural was success at Mercer field, 10-1.
 So smart was the Rose City boys right whip that the invaders made but three hits and hugged the ozone for ten fruitless trips to the plate.
 Although the major league lumi- naries weren't on hand, evidently the opposition was taken care of convincingly by our local favor ties, as their bats handcuffed the mediocre invaders to the Gotham belts.
