TWO REGULARS PITCH

Only two regular pitchers from
last season are on hand. They are
Curt Davis. who won 10 and lost
l3. and Whit Wyatt. who had a 14-5
record, and Wyatt is in IA. There
are four 4-F's on the staff, includ-
ing Bob Chapman, who won Is and
dropped seven at Montreal: Hal
Gregg, an HILL toSser for Montreal
who dropped three for the Brooks
at the end of last season; Fred
Ostermueller, who had Ii Ebbets
field mark after coming from ST.
Louis in the deal for Buck New
som, and Relief Pitcher Les Webber
Also in the bullpen are two army
discharges, Howard CVanilla) Wafer
and Tom Warren.
Billy Herman, the key infielder,
is one and Arkie Vaughan won't be
available until mid-season, crack
ing the infield wide open. Durocher
is contemplating a return to second
base and experimenting with Dixie
Walker, a 4-F outfielder, at third.
The candidates are Third Baseman
Gil English from Indianapolis,
4-F; Shortstope Gene Mauch, Mon
treal youngster slated for June
navy VS. test. and Bill Hart, a la
from New Orleans. Big Howie
Schultz, who played in 45 games
last season, will again be at first
Mickey Owen, the head man be-
hind the bat, is in &c and must
spend a certain amount of time on
his farm. This leaves 39-year- -old
Ray Hayworth, out of action last
year, and 17-year-old Leroy Jarvis,
high school product, as substitutes.
In the outfield, however, the
Dodgers have no worries. There
the club has four 4-F's, two over
ayers and one Ia. The sure fire
stayers are Frenchy Bordagaray,
Augie Galan, who may be pressed
into infield service; Garden Gillen-
water brought up from New Orleans
at the end of last season, and
Walker Johnny Cooney and Paul
big Poison Waner, are over draft
age. Loss of the la man could be
major blow. He is Luis Olmo,
who hit .3l5 in a half season at
Montreal and then walloped 1903
finishing up with the Brooks.
If the pitchers come through the
Dodgers could make trouble, but
it's big if and that weakness in
the middle makes next year" look

possible, the labor Of these for

many men for the German army.
The Nazis have not hesitated to
deport residents of occupied areas,
sending them to Germany for
forced labor. Many have been
parcelled out to landowners as
though they were slaves, according
to Taylor Henry, who has just
been repatriated.
Mr.. Henry thinks the Nazis are
in need of at least 100000 addi-

culture, 10000 for transportation
and 10000 for mines.

made considerable progress toward
hypnotizing the Italians.
If one reviews the history of
Mussolini and reads the incendiary
addresses that he delivered to the
Italian people, over a considerable
span of years, it is remarkable
that the peace-loving democracies
did not more fully comprehend the
nature of the Fascist menace.
Like Hitler and the Japanese,
II Duce made no secret of his in
tention to promote an Italian en-
pire by force Of arms. He re-
peatedly and grandiloquently
praised the virtue of warfare and
militantly aroused his people by
proclaiming the grandeur that

Who Hit Hitler?

THE MYSTERY behind the eff.
fort to assassinate Herr Adolf
Hitler and his leaders is not as
great as the puzzle why such an
effort has not been made before.
The facts of the war, like those
of life, cannot be hid always. Even
the Nazi enthusiasts must one day
grow up and face the world as it
Is and not as they have been told
it was.
There must be war maps in Ger
many. Any Teuton able to look a,
a battleline and locate it on the
map knows what is happening to
the military power of Der Fuehrer.
Those who have no maps can lis
ten to the drone of aircraft and
the explosion of bombs and know
that the Luftwaffe is nowhere to
be found.
We cannot say what it adds up
to but the sum is nothing for the
people of the United Nations to
worry about.

Civilian HerOism

SMART THINKING on the part

covered the vehicle was on fire
Warning passing motorists away
when they offered help, the driver
took his dangerous cargo into q
field where it exploded with a roar
heard for ten miles.
1t may be assumed that almost
anybody would have done the same
thing, under the same circum.
stances, but Stacker undoubtedly
risked his life in staying with his
truck and getting it off the road
The fact that others would have
done the same does not detract
from his courage.

A Simple Rule

REARING IN MIND the simple
- rule that the only way to vic
tory is over the bodies of dead
Germans the Importance of various
fighting fronts may be measured
by the enemy dead.
While the Nazis have lost
precious manpower in Italy and
Normandy they suffer enormously
in Poland, where the Red armies
seem to have conspired TO teach
the Teutons a lesson in military
prowess, which is another phrase
for killing enemy soldiers.
It is terrible to think of mer
dying in battle on such a vast
scale but there is no use to waste
sympathy on the Wermacht when
it fees in disorder. After all
who started the war, and fol

How the Farmer May Stretch
His Wartime Dollar!
by Ben F. Alvord
Head, Dept. Of Agricultural Economics
Alabama Polytechnic Institute

time debts. That is one place
where he can make his dollar
valuable. A second place where
his dollar is as valuable as ever
is in the purchase of United States
Bonds. A cheap dollar, such as
we have now, buys just as many
United States Bonds as it did in
1910 when a dollar was worth
about one-third more than at pres
ent. Thus, buying a Bond stretches
the dollar! If the Bond is kept un-
til it natures, he has at least one
extra dollar for every three that
he spent for E Bonds. He has
also the chance of getting an extra
margin in case prices drop to the
1910 level when his Bond natures.
This latter margin is not a GER
tainty, but such a price change
could come. 1t did come after
the previous war. If we assume
that our progress in World War II
is at about the same point as our
progress in 1918 was in World War
I, it is interesting to note that the
all commodities wholesale price
index dropped a net amount of
about q per cent in the 10 years
following 1918 and a further %
per cent in the following years.
That is, SIS invested in bonds,
such as our present E Bonds, in
1918 would have amounted to $10o
in 1928 and if then cashed, would
have purchased at wholesale in
that year as much goods as $135
would have bought in 1918. The
increase in dollar value of the
Bond plus the increase in pur-
chasing power Of each dollar would
have increased the purchasing
power Of the investment over the
10-year period by about 80 per
cent. The farmer has this extra
chance to stretch his dollar. Such
dollars would have had an extra
stretch sometime after the Civil
War, sometime after the Spanish
American War and again some
time after World War No. /. The
chance stretch might not come
after World War No. II, but the
Bond investment is a good buy"
anyway since 3 dollars invested
still means 4 dollars return for
all Bonds kept to maturity.
