Cardinals Trim Pirates
20 Behind Max LAME,
By OSCAR KAHAN

ST. LOUIS, April 10. -P- The
chunky southpaw who pitched the
pennant- winning game for the St.
Louis Cardinals last season started
them off with a victory today in
their race for a third straight Ma.
tional league championship.
Lefty Max Lanier, taking over
the opening-day assignment from
Morton Cooper turned in superb
2-hit pitching performance to shut
out the Pittsburgh Pirates 2 to 0,
defeating a courageous rookie, Ell
win (Preacher) Roe.
The victory went to Lanier's S
craftsmanship but the drama was
provided by Roe, a Cardinal cast
off who pitched last year for their
Columbus American Association
farm. He matched Lanier's efforts
through the first five innings but
weakened in the sixth when the
Cardinals set the stage for a big
rally.
Lanier opened the inning by
drawing pass on four straight
pitches. He was forced at second IA
Emil Verbans bunt but Johnny
Hopp doubled off the right field
screen. Stan Musial, the 1943 bat
ting king, singled to score Verban,
Hopp stopped at third and Musial
raced to second on the throw home.
An intentional pass to Walker
Cooper filled the bases. Roe, put
ting his lean 6-foot 2 inch frame
into every pitch, bore down and
struck out both Ray Sanders and
Whitley Kurowski to end the in
ming without further damage.
The effort was too great for Roe's
form and he yielded two hits in
with the Cardinals adding a run IN
the eighth on Stan Musiaps second
single. an error and single by
KuroWski.
Lanier was masterful and he had
brilliantly working Cardinal IN
field behind him. Roe singled use
lesslv with two men gone in the
third inning. frankie Cuisines SIN
gle in the fourth, Tom O'Brlell
pass in the fifth and Cuisines walk
in the seventh each was followed
by Cardinal double play.
Attendance totaled 6,245 includ-
ing 4,O30 paid admissions.

ing day five-hit performance to-
day as the World Champion New
York Yankees whitewashed the
Boston Red Sox, 3 to 0, before

tons at Fenway Park.
Borowy kept his hits well scat
tered with the exception OF the
fourth when Jim Tabor and Leon
Culberson singled successfully Win
one away. But he settled down to
throw out Roy Partee and ian allA

Big John Lindell got the Yanks

on one of Terry's fast ones ana G,

ough to win the game but me
champions settled it decisively WIN

home when Oscar Grimes douoleo
to deep center and the usually
jmpeccable Bobby Doerr threw
wildly to the plate On the relay
Terry backed up the plate nicely
but Grimes made third without
trouble on the bad throw.
Grimes came home on Mike Gar
bark's single to left, but after Bor'
owy's sacrifice, "Snuffy' Stlrn
weiss rolled to George Metkovlch
at first and Doerr ended the In
ming with leaping one-hand Gluten
of Art Metheny's bid for a hst.
Both teams turned in some ex'

throw was the only misplay OF the
game. Terry was touched Sharply

INDUSTRY:
Postwar Reserves

Looking forward toward the prob
lens of postwar readjustment,
U. S. industry has set aside hun
dreds of millions of dollars out of
profits for switching back to civilian
production, rebuilding plants or pro-
viding lay-off payments to workers
during the period of change.
To meet the emergency, United
States Steel company has estab-
ished a nest egg of $104, 1853 ,557 !;
General Motors, $76, O5l ,SO5; Cen
eral Electric, $73, 1852, 1887; E. I. Du

pany, Sill ,3O5,185 National Dairy
Products, SlO,O00,000, and General
Foods, $4,492,7l2.
Since such reserves cannot be
taken out of income before taxes
like deductions for depreciation,
debt retirement and depletion, they
must be put aside out of industry's
profits.

ers Union, deplored the development
of policies designed to divide the
world up into spheres of influences,
in which the big nations would
dominate militarily and politically.
Decrying the proposal to compen-
safe Poland for the loss of terri
tory to Russia by giving her part OF

clared: . This means that Po-

U. S. ACES:

To army air force Captains Rich
ard I. Bong of Poplar, Wis, and Don
S. Gentle of Piqua, Ohio, went the
honor of breaking Capt. Eddie Rick
enbacker's famed record of shooting
down rs enemy aircraft, established
in World War I.
Operating in the South Pacific in
Lightning fighter with the portrait
of his fiance, Marjorie Vattendahl
of Superior, Wis, painted on the
nose, Captain Bong was credited
with destroying his 9th enemy craft
in the air on April IL.
Previously, Captain Gentle had
been credited with bagging 80
enemy planes in Europe, but seven
of them were shot up on the ground.
During World War I, Captain Rick

WOOL:
Big Stocks

With an all-high stock of foreign
and U. S. wool, the Commodity
Credit corporation was directed to
60 into the market to support the
1914 domestic clip estimated at
$50, 900, 900 pounds.
Whereas u S. stocks stand at rec
ord levels today, there were pros
poets of serious shortages when the
Japs launched their South Pacific
drive, threatening the Australian
and New Zealand producing areas.
Approximately O0,000,0OO pounds of
foreign wool is now owned by this
country, with the Defense Supplies
corporation holding $50, 900, 900
pounds and dealers and manufac-
turers the rest. At the same time,
550,000,0 900 pounds, is being held in
this country for British account.
Because the U. S. clip sells about
10 cents pound above foreign wool,
the CCC has encountered difficulty
disposing of the domestic stock, al
though the army now specifies it's
use in purchases and about 10 per
cent of navy orders are expected to
call for it.

EUROPE:
Invasion Path

While Russia's land armies car

lied bombers continued pounding
Axis military and industrial installa-

concentrating on the invasion path
in the west.
As the Russians stormed into
Rumania, other Red forces drove
ahead in the Crimea, huge chunk of
land thrust into the Black sea and
guarding the water route to the east
ern Balkans. As the Russians ap-
preached the Rumanian rail juno
ton of Jassi, they encountered
stiffening resistance from native
troops, fighting by the side of Ger
man soldiers, strengthened by
shorter defense lines.
In continuing their whirlwind as
saults to smoother an invasion path,
Allied bombers struck at airfields,
railroad functions and military de-
lenses throughout the French and
Belgium area. Far to the southeast,

mered Nazi airplane factories in the

ing the protection for farmers,
Byrnes also proposed to help labor
laid off from slackening war indus
tries, through a system of federal
unemployment benefits to be paid in
addition to regular state payments.
To relieve the problem of future un-
employment, Byrnes suggested that
workers be shifted from tagging war
plants to buster ones now while jobs
were available.
Byrnes advocated legislation for
quick settlement of cancelled war
contracts to aid industry in the re-
conversion to civilian production,
and he also called for congressional
action to facilitate the orderly dis
posal of surplus war goods without

In hearing the Allies demands,
the Swedes said they were in no
position to comply without breaking
their formal agreement with Ger
many, which, they said, the AL
lies approved last September. AL
though there was objection to the
