Ex-BaII Players
Sentence Commuied

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. s.
(P)- Governor Edward Martin
committed today the ID to &C.
year prison sentence of Samuel
B. (Red) Crane, former Major
League baseball player, who has
served IS years on a charge of
second degree murder.
The action made the 5O-year-
old former shortstop eligible
for parole to the State Parole
Board.
Crane, who played for the
Philadelphia Athletics, New
York Giants and Brooklyn Dodg-
ers, was convicted in 1929 in the
killing of Della Lyter and John
Oren in Harrisburg Tavern.
Connie Mack, Athletics mana
ger, has supported repeated ap-
peals by Crane for a parole.
Mack has told the Board he
would give him a job, take
care Of him, and see that he is
looked after"

three children David, Mary and
Florence. A sister, Mrs. Leslie
T. Dandy, of Jackson, and a
brother, Sterling Schwalm, of
New York City, also survive.
Mr.. SchWalm's father, the late
Frederick v. Schwalm died sew
en- years ago.
Services were held at the
Hubbard funeral chapel at 2 p.
m, by the Rev. Jacob Wulf-
mann, in the absence from the
city Of Rev. Joseph L. Kennedy,
of the Presbyterian Church, of
which Mr.. Schwalm was a men,
Der. Burial took place in the
family lot in Clinton Grove
Cemetery. The Schwalm fam
lily resides at 153 Dickinson

pans, and other small craft
were also crippled.
The heaviest blow was struck
by powerful carrier and Naval
forces striking within $50 miles
of Japan in a three-day bonn
bardment of the BONN and Vol
cano Islands. Bombs, rockets,
and shellfire knocked a dozen
Nipponese ships and IS planes
out of action. Land-based Liber-
ators followed up to carry the
bombardment into four consecu-
tive days.
Another dozen ships were des-
troyed or damaged in the South
ern Philippines. A single Cata-
lima flying boat attacking an
eight ship convoy in Davao Gulf
definitely sank three and proba-
bly, three others.
A record 140-ton raid on the
Celebes, south Of the Philippines,
wiped out between ID and %
japanese planes, three sizeable
ships and three coastal craft.
A fast Naval force shelled and
bombed Wake Island Sunday,
two days after the strike at the
BONN Volcano group 1,645
miles to the west, without flush
ing any prey. The simultaneous
use of two task forces indicates
the power of the fleet operating
in the Pacific.

Six United States planes were
reported missing in the entire

Only encouraging reports for
Tokyo came from China. Three
Japanese columns advanced to

China.
British soldiers advancing to
the Japanese-abandoned town of
Sittaung in western Burma,
passed the bodies of more than
1000 Japanese, mostly victims

and the low countries. A British
flying column which captured
Brussels and Antwerp was re-
ported to have raced through
Breda, five miles inside Holland
and less than an hours airplane
flight to Berlin. The sweep into
the Netherlands trapped an es-
timated 100000 Germans along
the robot bomb coast.
Allied troops entered the
Duchy Of Luxembourg on the
border of Germany and German
troops were reported in flight
toward the Fatherland. A Stock
holm report said 1t. Gen.
George S. Patton's u. S. Third
Army had captured Perl, just
inside Germany at the Luxem-
bourg frontier.
REACH STRASBOURG
1t was reliably reported from
the French frontie' that Ameri-
can tanks reached the outskirts
of Strasbourg on the Rhine and
carried the fighting onto Ger
man soil around Saarbrucken.
Some ITO miles to the North
west of Saarbrucken, American
tanks reached Aachen, two miles
inside the Reich, a German re-
port said.
Another report from the
French frontier told of the &C.
Cupation by American troops of
Pontarlier, on the Western
border of Switzerland. These
forces were said to be driving
toward the Belfort gap leading
to Southwest Germany.
In the Balkans, the Russians
were driving through Romania
to junction with Marshal Tito's
Partisans in Yugoslavia. Associ-
sted Press Correspondent Joseph
Morton, who flew up the DAN
ube river from Bucharest, said
Russian columns were "Well
west of Craiova," which is 10
miles west of Bucharest and
within so miles of Yugoslavia.
Employing Romanian units
for the first time, the Red Army
drove deeper into Pennsylvania
from north of captured Brasov,
So miles northwest of the Ploes-
ii oil fields.
In Southern France, French
troops advancing up the Saone
valley reached the outskirts of
Macon, SO road miles north of
captured Lyon. The French took
a new batch of 2,400 prisoners
in their capture of Villefranche,
boosting the total since the in
vasion Of Southern France to
more than $4,000.
The Germans put up the stiff
est resistance in Northern Italy,
but Canadian troops, supported
by British warships in the Adj
ratio, drove to within six miles
of Rimini. eastern bastion of the
Gothic line. The warships ran
boldly in along shore and fired
more than 800 shells into enemy
positions.
The British drive into Holland
sealed off a large section of the
robot bomb coast but hopping
up operations were yet to be
carried out. The Germans sent
another shower of the winged
bombs over London and South
ern England after a four-day
lull, inflicting casualties and
damage.
The capture of Antwerp gave
the Allies an important port for
the funneling of supplies to keep
the battle for Holland rolling at
full speed.
Gen. EisenhoWar's headquart-
ers announced that in the area
of Mons, Belgium, where the u.
S. First Army has been operat-
ing, 5000 prisoners have been
taken and much equipment cap
tured or destroyed in hopping
up operations.

Texas. and Seaman Second Class
William F. Collins, II, Of 8
Gold, stationed at the Great

were taken to Selfridge Field
for treatment, where they were
reported to have received minor
bruises. Another passenger of
the car, Michael Garvey, ID, Of
So Hubbard avenue, was also
taken to Selfridge Field, accord

ment at the field could be
learned. The driver of the car,
Kenneth Heron, II, of 1882
Glenwood road, was taken to St.

dition was reported as good. The
fifth passenger of the automo-
bile, Joseph Schaff, II, of 104

Heron tried to miss a car
that was pulling out from the

on some gravel, hitting the ditch
and rolled over. Two of the
passengers were thrown out of
the car. The car was badly dam

printable words he would now
be writing a book entitled:
"Becalmed On Lake st. Clair

Or if that title isn't too long,
he could add-"Without a drink

Collaborating on Georges

Island late Monday night it was
in trim shape and we'll loaded
with gasoline for the return trip
home.
MOTOR TANKS OUT
At IL p. m, nearly four miles
off st. Clair Shores (and in a
direct line with Francis home)
the boats motor stopped and in
vestigation disclosed that de-
fective carburetor float had
caused most of the gasoline sup
ply to drain into the bilge.
After drifting helplessly for
some time, the Shores skipper
and his crew decided to drop
anchor. Later, when no boats
came near, they decided to
consolidate their position" for
the night.
Such a decision might not
have been hard-even for men
with worried families awaiting
their return-had it not been
for the fact that the trio was
dressed for the sunshine of a
fishing trip, not for the low
temperatures and cool breezes
of a night on the lake. They
were clad only in gym shirts
and shorts.

And to make matters worse,
their one package of precious
cigarettes got lots in the shuttle.
