nv JACK CUDDY

PITTSBURGH. June 27. tUP)-
An innovation in selling war bonds
was presented at Forbes Field Mon
day night during the Zivlc-Bell
boxing show. Between preliminaries,
HIGHEST bidders IN bonds were able
TO secure the services Of we'll
known Pittsburgh sports writer's for
a day or night Of menial or screw
ball services.
Although the unfortunate writers
volunteered to be sold tor such
services as moving lawns, washing
dishes or chauffeuring, such were
net their destinies by the time that
nationally famous tobacco auc-
tioneerr, L. A. CSpeed) Riggs. COM
pleted his FAM radio mumbo-
Jumbo over them.
WILD PROMISES
once Riggs got the abashed
scribes into the ring, he promised
the fans a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g II they
would bid high enough. These lads
were adept, he proclaimed, in wash
ing babies didies, cleaning stables,
digging bitches. collecting butter
flies. WASHING 1Gth floor windows,
etc.
Accordingly bond bids reached
$4,000 or more for three OF the
somewhat Mortified gentlemen of
the press-Chet Smith, sports edl-
tor of the Pittsburgh Press Al
Abrams. boxing writer Of the Pitts
burgh Pest Gazette and John l..
Hernon Of the Tri-State News Bu-
reau. These lads will have some
lively moments during the next
week when their buyers demand
services according to specifications.
We suggested that coolies OF bonds
could be sold in any metropolis by
Speed RIGGS on tie same basis, II
the persons auctiCned Off were
baseball umpires or boxing referees,
NOTHING TOO MEAN
Most of our more affluent base
ball fans certainly would buy Sl5,-
600 or $4,000 worth of bonds for
the pleasure of having their blind
est robber" of an umpire ride them
about the city en- the handlebars OF
bicycle, or tote their luggage
loaded with bricks all around the
town. A flock of worse services
could be thought up, if feller just
set his mind to it.
If boxing referees were put on
the bond block, some limits would /
have to be set for the torture OF
servility: otherwise the fight game
would be missing many Of its most |

In these simple words, Perry t,
Jones, sectional delegate OF the
California Tennis association and
secretary of the Southern Callfor-
mia Tennis association, summed up
his sice, or rather the USLTAs side
cas- he prefers it of the latest out
break by Bill Tilden.
Corporal Peter Witt, Tilden said,
asked Jack Knemeyer to be re-
placement in Tilden's troupe Of
amateurs and professionals who
plaved at service hospitals in Palm
Springs and Arrowhead last week.
RELATES TALK
Knemeyer called Jones and Jones
related his conversation with Kne-
meyer:
"Knemeyer asked me whether it
was okay for him to play an exhibit
ton that Tilden was arranging. /
told him that it was against the
rules of the USLTA for civilian
amateurs to play exhibitions with
on against professionals unless the
latter are in the armed services"
Jones elaborated. The USLTA
is opposed to open championship
that is the participation OF amat-
eurs against professionals in tourna-
mentS or exhibitions. However,
when war was declared, the USLTA
relaxed its policy to the extent of
granting permission for profession
ais in the service to play against
amateurs-civilian or in the service
when such exhibitions were ap-
proved by them.

Leland Stowe, Blue Network war correspondent and author who Is currently overseas on assignment for the Blue, will continue to be heard in his regular Saturday night program over WATR and the Blue at 7:15 p. m, from whatever front he covers.
 Stowe, who won 8 Pulitzer prize in 1880 for the best interpretive job of any American correspondent abroad, more specifically, for his dispatches on the Young Repara- tionS Conference, is the author of three best sellers-"No Other Road To Freedom" "Nazi Means War" and They Shall Not Sleep"
 Prior to his entry into radio Stoves articles were Syndicated in more than fifty important American and Canadian newspapers.
 Only 45 years of age, Stowe re- called before his departure that seven years ago when he asked his New York newspaper editors to as- sign him to the European front, they replied:%
 You're too old to cover a war" s'Yank, the Army Weekly" Is coming to the air.

 x The format on the air will follow the pattern of the magazine itself. The show will be strictly CT since the. rule that no officer can write or dictate as to the formula for Tank will be observed on the radio show.

Talent is auditioned. judged and catalogued and the CTS are taking hearty advantage of the opportun- ity.
 The service was a month old few days ago. Anyone still in tlni- form or with honorable discharge papers Is welcome to inquire at the NEG offices in Radio City for Mrs. Kathryn Cole. wife of an army chaplain and mother of soldier. who will see to 1t that the appii- cant is interviewed. 'r'
 Additions, conducted by the top NEG directors. are held twice 'a a week-Wednesday'S and Saturdays from g a. m. until noon. Every care Is taken to. make, the additions as easy as possible on the would-be performers so they will not suffer from mike fright. Mrs. Cole, they say, is so wrapped up in her work that she'll hold a patients hand during the ordeal If that will help. ', NEG wants 1t clearly understood that its welcome home" additions, as the service is called. do hot com init 1t to finding jobs for anyone. The auditionerS, who may sing, re- cite, play musical instruments or spiel announcers' batter, are rated as to voice, radio personality and possible directions in which they might best develop and the infor- nation is filed away. NEG will do what 1t can to help the tyroS find jobs but it makes no guarantees. Naturally there are no charges of any kind to the applicants.
 In the case of people already out of service or about to be discharged NEG gives them immediate serious consideration either for use in New York or elsewhere. Those with dis tinct possibilities and who are wil- ling to work outside New York are called to the attention of l50 NEG affiliate stations across the country by means of circulars outlining their abilities. Each circular is acc companied by a first class studio picture made at NBC's expense. When an exceptional performer Is uncovered in an addition he is called back for a private tryout which is recorded at the conpany's expense. This recording then Is used as additional sales talk and will be sent to any station inter- ested in the subject,
 Many of the applicants are men or women who have no hope of get- ting, out of uniform until the end of the war. Naturally nothing can be done about them at present, but their records are kept and when they, do get discharged they can mo- tify NEG and circularization on them win begin.
 George Maynard, assistant pro- duction manager, who Is in charge of the venture, says that so far the percentage of good prospects has been extremely high.

NEA MAAMb8ky NvAaWgN In Europe. aS in Africa, American Generals have shown. two highly American traits, First, they calcu. lated shrewdly, and then they were not afraid to take ao chance. Sec- only, they learned so fast that soon they were teaching their teachers. They picked up a lot of generalsilip from the Nazis. then threw 1t back to explode in their faces. As the war progresses, German generalship gets worse as ours gets better. tT 1+'
 Eisenhower followed up the; first North Africa landings by trying to hurl men into TuniSia before the Germans got there in force. A cal- culated risk worth taking but failing it. left him with British and Amer ican units spread out rather thin. Then the experienced Rommel hit him., dispensing some of his inex- perienced infantry, sucking in some of his inexperienced arnor, driving through Kasserine Pass, for a local reverse that tok all our reserve ground and air power to retrieve.

 Again, Eisenhower had taken a calculated risk. Conservative gen. eralship dictated making sure ot the needed supply-ports. He chose to race for the West Wall, hoping the disorgantzed Germans could not hold 1t against frontal assault. Finding they could, Eisenhower launched his Airborne Army under fiery Brereton, who because he got seasick forsook the Navy for the air.
