Prosperity For
Season Is Sc en-
By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, April 20 CUP =
Major league baseball, traditional
symbol of American democracy, got
under way at Washington today
and although 1913 will find the
sport involved in it's most uncer-
tain campaign, there is little doubt
that it will have its most prosper
Gus season in years.
A general air of confidence per-
vaces the personnel of the majors
from bat-boy to club-oWner-since
the governments favorable attitude
toward the sport was reflected in a
statement by War Manpower Com
missioner Paul V. McNutt.
While McNutt emphasized there
will be no occupational deferment
for players, he did reveal that the
game will not be listed as a non
deferable industry. This, plus a
selective service ruling that makes
the call of fathers unlikely before
fall. virtually assures a full, 154-

probably will.

McNutt's role as opening day
pitcher for the Washington-Phila-
delphia game will mark the first
time since 1911 that the President,
ce-president or a cabinet member
has not presided. President Roose-
welt is too busy and Vice-President
Wallace is out of town.

Typhoid

St. Johns

LANSING, Jan. 5-(P-Dr.
II. Allen Meyer, State Health
commissioner, today urged every
resident of ST. Johns to be vac
cinated at once to avoid pos
sible typhoid epidemic" result
ing from a contaminated public
water source.
The Health Department edu-
cation division said fears of a
serious outbreak arose when it
was discovered that several
hundred" residents of the Clin-
ton county community had con-
tracted dysentery.
Samples of water taken from
the community's three municipal
wells, it was said, showed one of
them to have become contamin-
ated by surface water. The pub
lie water supply was switched
from one we'll to another period
ically each day, it was said.
The division reported that n
department emergency chlorina-
tor had been sent TO st. Johns
and now was being used to puri-
fly the public water supply, but
that DR.. Meyer feared typhoid
illness might also have been
carried by the water.

White Book
Couses Eruption

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 - P)
- Suffering angrily over dis
closures in the state depart
ment's White Book. the axis ra-
dio accuses President Roosevelt
of issuing the document to avoid
congressional criticism of CON
tinual American defeats"
The federal communications
commission said today that its
listening post had picked up
broadcasts from Berlin, Rome
and Tokyo, seeking to blame the
war on the presidents "diplo-
matte policies" and claiming the
White Book was full of lies"
The book, issued over the
week end by Secretary of State
Hull and revealing that the
Japanese planned months in adj
vance for "a surprise mass at
tack on Pearl Harbor," was de-
clared by the German radio to
represent "a clever Roosevelt
move for home consumption"
Berlin called the book "Roose-
velt's White Ii Book" and as
serted, the FEC said, it has al
ready been criticized by some
representative of congress"
Tokyo confined its broadcasts
on the subject to German reac-
ton and quoted the Berlin ra-
dio as declaring the White Book
full of lies and thievery" and
an effort by the president to
head off criticism from the new
congress for American de-
feats," the agency added.
FEC said the Rome broadcasts
interpreted the White Book as
evidence that the president had
thrown his country into war
when it was unprepared.
The White Book, issued by
the state department to promote
"a clearer understanding" of
war problems, said Ambassador
Joseph c. Grew informed the de-
partment on Jan. 81, 1941, that
Japan planned the surprise at
tack in case of trouble" with
the United States.

field, too?. Nobody ever has
proved that international sports

the guys who had to settle some
Of the more famous disputes

we still believe that it's easier
for people TO understand one
another when they play the

best games we can think of for
international competition are
soccer football and basketball
Soccer is known as the game
that is played in every country
and only the U. S. apparently

deserves. . Basketball is a local
product, but maybe our soldiers

SUGGESTION

Walt Hanson OF the Long
Branch IN. j. Record recalls a
conversation with Jack Doyle,
old-time Tiger scout. that is
worth the attention of Big
League ball clubs in these days
of training near home. Doyle's
idea was that the teams
should play exhibitions when
ever possible in the smaller cit
les near their home towns. In
that way they would build up
friendship and interest new fans
right in their home territory.
