(hCR. U. D. Idt. OAA.J E United Press Staff Correspondent New York, February 3. - (UP) - Alva Bradley, president of the Cleve- land Indians, apparently. las bor- rowed for his personal wa time use the "Cry Baby'' Bunting which Swaddled 12 revolting Indian play CTS in 1940.
 At least that's the impression one gets from major league reaction to Bradley,s latest lament of pessi- mism about the future of baseball.
 Other major league magnates do not actually call Ava ~"Cry Baby" (for publcation); but they are in the mood to present him with bundle of diapers, after his second somber suggestion since Pearl Har- bor.
 Gloomy Ava suggested that the major leagues suspend operations, gather than present "a low form of enmedy" due to manpower shortages s<sFing the 1914 season.
 aa~ general reaction to this sug- gestion was an angry "nertz!" It was 6 reaction quite similar to that which greeted Bradley's depressing dissertation on November 25, 1922, when he said he would rather not open his ball park for the '4S season than to have the wolves" asking his players, ''Why aren't you in the Army, you big lub?" Commissioner LandiS rebuked Bradley for that AZ statement. It could happen again.
 After Bradley made himself a target this week with his suspend operations suggestion, the boys wound up and threw some fast ones. Secretary Eddie Brannick of the New York Giants emphasized that Bradley would have to surrender his American League franchise and declare his men free agents If he should attempt to withdraw from competition. Brannick declared that baseball will carry on, with or without the Ipdians."
 Warren o. Giles, general mana ger of the Cincinate Reds, said, i've are planning to operate = and not with any low form of comedy" If that is all Cleveland can offer, or expect to offer, it should quit"
 Herb Pennock, new genieral man. hger of the Phillies, asserted, base ball can't sit down and quit just be- cause the breaks are tough. It's up to us to find replacements and carry on."
 Vice President Eddie Collins of the Boston Red Sox assured, i've feel here that we can continue and will make every effort to do so."
 President Bob Quinn of the Boston Braves said, "Bradley's statement Domes from e mind disturbed by players being taken into service. I can agree that the game win be inferior. We will go on. no matter

LEAvENWORTH
 STREAK HALTED
 BY HAMDENITES

A handful, probably two hundred saw one of the smootheSt working high school basketball teams in ac- tion last night at the Wilby gym as the Hamden array gave Leav- enworth a lesson in coordination, winning 42 to 26, and evening the annual series with Bill T'racy'S proteges.
 How Leavenworth ever beat Ham. den on the latter's court earlier in the season was the question each spectator asked of the other soon after the green and white clad visi- tors started to roll up a first period lead.
 Though Leavenworth had the advantage in size, this assest proved a liability to them as their elongated performers were cut down the midgets when the rabbit-like Hamdenites really got hot in the second period. Teamwork was stressed throughout, out-of- bound plays were executed with perfect precision, blocks were set up at the right time and zone defense which clicked like a veteran pro combine spelled defeat for the En- gineers who really were mystified at the enviable offensive attack of the Donnellymen.
 Steady Progress
 Hamden rolled up an ll-9 lead after the first eight minutes and increased 1t to 26-14 at inter1nis- sion. When the third period came to a halt Tech trailed 40 to 18 as even some of the hardest home town followers realized David had already slain the Giant. One con- solation the losers earned was the fact they outscored Hamden in the final quarter, 8 to 2, but after four minutes of play in this frame Coach Donnelly gave his reserves a break and let them finish the contest.
 Two sure set-shot artists, Ed die Porcella and Paulie Morello, en- joyed a banner night, the former netting 13 points and his teammate one less. Leavenworth's best bet, considering the fact he played only the last quarter, was young Pear Sall' a freshman, who really plays Ike seasoned performer. Tracy may have a soph star in this fel- low next year.
 Hamden was outShot from the floor 55 to 46, but most of Techs tries were hurried shots or one- handed Hips. On the other hand very few of Hamdens 46 pops at the irons were of this variety, the majority of their tries being set shots. Tech sank 8 of II free throws while the DonnelIyuen missed five of the same number.

near future. The industry is still up to it's neck in production of the materials of Even if it is cut back along certain very limited lines, production is still rising over all
 Nevertheless, the fact that responsible Govern ment agencies going to sit down with key men in the industry plan for orderly reconversion to peacetime production, when that can be undertaken without interference with the effort is encour aging. The time for such planning is now There are many complex problems involved They include the method of cleaning plants of materials and ma chimes owned by Government and arrival at proper method of quick inventory without long delays and red tape. Such plans vital to the transition period when the wheels of peacetime industry have not yet begun to turn again. The difference between sound planning now for these and other similar problems is the difference between widespread unemployment and quick unemployment.

sICILIAN OCCUPATION

Some of the inside facts about the occupation of Sicily are begin ming to leak out.
 A day before the embarkatlon from Africa, some one remembered that no proclamations had been printed for American troops to post in occupied Sicilian villages, an- nouncing liberation from Fascism. Taking extreme caution to give the assignment only to printers who could be relied upon not to reveal our plans, the Army finally had the job rushed through just in the nick of time.
 The proclamations were posted ln various Sicilian towns as we went through, and U. S. troops were puzzled by the solemn response. They had expected joyous welcome, but somehow the proclamations of liberation did not cheer the local peasants. It took nearly three days for someone to explain to American officials that the language proclamation declared a curfew in Sicily from sunrise to sunset

Profiteering in Reverse
(New York Times


 There has been much talk about the swollen profits allegedy made by the arpane manufacturers at work on war orders There are. of course, some variations in the experience of different companies, but the annual report of Douglas Aircraft which was published recently broadly reflects conditions in an industry which certainly has made major contribu- ton to the This report shows that the net profit of the Douglas Company gross business of nearly $ 900 00O amounted to $5952257 for the fiscal which ended November 30, s9.92 share, compared with $15.38 share approximately half the gross volume in the previous year In other words, the profit of this huge volume amounted to less than cent on every dollars worth of business.
 The report further shows that while employment increased per cent in 1943 1922 and reached l60000 persons unit costs to the Government of the airframe produced reduced average of 9 per cent the six models in production. Other features of the report disclose that the company has trained and employed 12.O00 physically handicapped workers and 1600O men and women formerly in military service Finally, the company produced, in the year under review 1l2000000 pounds of combat airplanes and spare parts, of which the Axis is now feeling the weight.

JEWS AND ARABS

Roosevelt recently advised close friend that he had had lengthy discussion with Winston Churchill presumably by transatlantic tele- phone) during which the whole Palestine question was threshed out, with very beneficial results
 Biggest stumbling block to the immediate opening of Palestine to Jewish refugees, the President dis closed, was Nazi and Jap propa- ganda among the Arabs. This, FDR said, had been effective.
 Jap agents, he said. have been almost as active as the Nazis in spreading stories among the Arabs that the Allied powers are planning to turn Palestine completely over to the Jews after the war and drive out Arab landowners. At least three prominent Arab lead- CTS" have been taken in by this fantastic talk, the President re- vealed
 Roosevelt further disclosed that, in his talk with Churchill, he had expressed strong opposition to the British White Paper which has stopped Jewish immigration quotas in Palestine this year He said that the British Prime Minister gave him no argument but on the con- trary, was wholly in accord with his views.
 However, both Roosevelt and Churchill are opposed to making Palestine a Jewish commonwealth after the war-namely; an inde- pendent state run by Jewish gov ernment. This, the President feels, is unnecessary.
 Many prominent Jewish leaders in the United States feel the same way. At a hearing several months ago before the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee, Rabbi Louis Vol sey of Philadelphia, Lessing Rosen- wald of Chicago, and others, came out against the commonwealth" idea.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY. APRIL 28

This is an uncertain day in planetary direction Good news regarding certain of our armed forces is indicated. Reverses or delays in Amy activities are fore cast.
 HEART AND HOME: Recrea- ton centers for our men in uni form will cause obliteration of long established social lines. Mar riages of debutantes to young men of humble origin will be numerous and generally fortunate.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Get-rich quick schemes will flourish in many American cities this spring The urge to obtain easy money will lead many foolish men and women to poverty. All forms of speculation should be eschewed.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Unavoid- able mistakes in American diplom- acy will be featured strongly in campaign speeches. Planetary in- fluences that encourage criticism will be active through the summer The stars warn that all forms of national disunity will be helpful. to the Axis
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Declarations that this world con- flict is religious war will cause losses and destruction of church property. Axis policies (which em- phasize absolute waste of all that is holy or valuable will cement the peoples of the United Nations in a firm unity which promises lasting peace.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of average good fortune They should be sat- isfied with steady progress. Children born on this day prob ably will be sensitive. studious and reliable. They should have pleasant lives lighted by much love.

Paramount offered to release the picture for a public premiere June 12, to coincide with the opening of the Fifth War Bond Drive, the proposition was rejected by certain of Henry Morgenthau's spinsterish aides.
 They argued that it might appear that the Treasury Department was endorsing the violent anti-Semitic and Catholic mouthings of Hitler, Goebbels and other Nazi leaders, which figure prominently in the early part of the picture.
