Nova and 0nla
Collide Tonight
Hsoviss Set for
Olympic Clash

DETROIT, July IA up -
Lou Nova, Boosting a la-fight
winning streak in his comeback
campaign, tackles Lee Oma to-
night in a ten-round heavy
weight bout at Olympia Stadi-
UNI. For no particular reason.
Nova is-a slight favorite over
the former Detroiter who has
met with good success in east
ern rings.
Nova is expected to come in
at EOS pounds for a l7-pound
advantage over Oma.
In his bid for recognition as
one of the best of the current
heavyweight crop, Nova has
clustered a string of victories
in Texas, Nebraska, Florida and
Oklahoma. The size of tonight's
gate is beyond estimate mas
much as Detroit hasn't had a
summer indoor scrap in many
years.
This is Nova's first visit to the
home town of Champion Joe
Louis, whose six-round knock
out three years ago pushed
Nova out of the divisions up

PITTSBURGH, July IA -fb
Jimmy Grippe, who manages
fighters as a business and prac-
tises "hexing" and legerdemain
as a hobby, believes he is going
to pull a heavyweight champion
out of the hat by the time this

IF l could close my contract
for our bout with Joe Louis we'd

haired hypnotist-magician said
today. But the Army won't let
Louis fight"
Party of the second part in
the conversation was Melio Bet
tina, one-time holder of the
New York version of the light
heavyweight crown and today
rated fifth among the heavy
weights by the national boxing
association.
And the Louis-Bettina con-
tract dates back TO a scheduled
date for March 81, 1912 - a date
never filled when the Army
placed a ban on Louis insofar as
fighting is concerned.

Associated Press sports writer
Can Ted Williams, Joe Di-
Maggie, Bobby Teller, Johnny
Vandermeer and scores of other
big leaguers in service pick up
where they left off when they
come marching home from war?
The question that has puzzled
club owners and fans alike was
partially answered yesterday
when Dick Wakefield, recently
detached" from the Nays
Iowa pre-flight school, stepped
into a Detroit uniform and
banged out two hits in the Tig-
ers' 81 slaughter of Chicago.
Wakefield has not seen active
service, and soon may be called
away from the Tigers by the
Army, but a parallel can be
drawn between him and others
who have been much more dis
family removed from big league
pitching. Judging from first day
impressions, it may not be so
tough for the stars to resume
their careers.
The $4,000 Dandy is out of
the Navy because the need for
filters apparently has decreased.
He has been away from the big
show for only half year after
hitting .316 and leading the
League in total hits and doubles
as a rookie. Others making a
more violent change may find
the REIMBURSEMENT more diff
cult.
Wakefield's two hits helped
the Tigers rout Orval Grove
with an eight-run squirt in the
second as Paul Dizzy" Trout
coasted to his 18th win.

Twos chsduIemon's
Error Pordon Him

Chalk up an error for the
schedulemaker because of his
failure TO include the Junior
League in yesterdays game pro-
gram for next week.
Managers who thought maybe
the league had been wound up,
are asked to take notice OF the
remaining seven game schedule.
Three contests are to be played
next week, and two each in the
following two weeks, unless the
weatherman changes plans. The
playoffs will start August 7.
Next weeks schedule is as fol-
lows:
Monday-Gremlins VS.. Eagles.
Wednesday - Henk Studio VS..
Gremlins.
Friday-A. & w. Root Beer
VS.. Eagles.
All games at Griffith Field.
Another item of interest 10
Junior Leaguers concerns an
eariy-season game between Henk
Studio and Eagles. The latter
won the game, but when it was
learned the team had used an
average player, the tilt was
awarded to the Photographers.
A day later, the Eagles claim
ed the Studio club had also used
an illegal player and, as Eagles
had won the game, the decision
was reversed and the win re-
turned to them.
Since then the Recreation Di-
rector has inspected birth rec
ords Of the two players involved
and found the Eagle member to
be the guilty party, therefore
the Henk ten has again been
given the game by forfeit.

that in the meantime they could
make only $50 of the 400 planes
remaining on order. Whether this
was entirely the fault of the Navy
is not clear, but it seems quite
evident that the responsibility rests
somewhere with the Government.
In the case of Brewster, those
workers who want other jobs can
find them. But as the war progresses
toward its close, and plant shut
downs become more numerous, many
thousands of workers and their en-
ployers are going to be subjected to
serious hardship if contracts are to
be Cancelled and jobs lost with only
a few days of notice. 1t is this
prospect which is really at the bot
tom of the concern manifested in
this instance, and if the Brewster
demonstration serves to prod the
Government into overhauling it's
inadequate contract termination
machinery it will have been we'll
worth while.

This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,On

The German propaganda machine Is
informing its radio audience that the
people of the United States are in
frenzy over the prospective invasion of
Western Europe. According to Herr Jo-
seph Goebbels' boys, the war Of nerves
is affecting the Americans more than
the Germans. They compare unfavor-
ably the excited state of mind Of the
people of the United States with the
GOODNESS of the Reich's millions.
Most of the German propaganda
themes have some f1imsy basis taken
from the American press which reach
the Germans within short time after
they have been printed in this country.
The frenzy" theme is believed to have
originated from the reading of the vari-
Gus advertisements carried in the daily
press by organizations which, uninten-
tionally, of course, are commercializing
on the forthcoming invasion.
Respectable radio stations, for exam
pie, announce in paid advertisements
that their best correspondents will be
on hand to relate the invasion play-by-
play to the news-hungry public. They
give the names and the most recent
PAAotS6A apilo Va tliClI SldT commentators
and reporters, usually in uniform, and
urge their listeners to dial in their sta
tions to get the best and most ADEQUATE
reports of the military operations. Movie
houses throughout the country assure
their patrons that when they 60 to >,e
some harmless and amusing escapist
film, they also will be given the full
reports Of the invasion between laughs
This treatment of the Forthcoming
INVASION, like an Army Navy football
game in peacetime, is proving irksome
to many people who realize that within
few days after the invasion has started
thousands of families will receive tele-
grams from the War Department in
forming them of the death Of their loved
one on the battlefield.
u X
There seems to be no need for this
overadvertising of the invasion news.
Ever since Pearl Harbor the public has
received in time, the official reports of
the battles, regardless Of whether they
have been good or bad. The bad news
was perhaps coated with sugar; the
Evening star., 1944-05-31

good news was sometimes delayed. But
the information that was obtainable
from ofiicial quarters was given 10 the
public as soon as 1t was released
1t Is only natural that the radios and
movie houses should report the news of
the invasion as 1t Is given out oficially.
But many oficial and unofacial OBJ
servers question the taste In commercial
izing such news long before the opera
tions have started.
However brilliant and successful the
military operations in Western Europe
may be, 1t is certain that the losses viii
be heavy. Offlcials who have dealt with
this subject differ in their opinions
Some appear to have been purposely
superpessimistic. They wanted to warn
the Nation, without any commercial aim
behind their declaration, that the in
vasion will be a tragic and serious
matter. more so than any other Of our
previous wars
The people of this country are fully
aware Of this. They look to D-day with
much greater patience and without any
such frenzy" as the German propa-
gandists describe. They know, without
any previous fanfare Of advertising, that
they will hear over the radio and read
In their newspapers everything that can
be said about the invasion from the very
moment it has started. Oficial cover
age has been thoroughly prepared in
advance and it is such that no one will
be able to squeeze through the tight
censorship anything but the oficial ver-
sion and the highly censored eye
witness reports" of the correspondents
who will accompany the Allied forces.
With the exception of human-interest
stories, the initiative of the correspon-
dents in this war has been reduced to
naught, so far as beating the censorship
Is concerned. 1t was a great game of
the war correspondents In the past, par
ticularly when American correspondents
were neutral. But the period Of scoops"
for the war reporters is over. The best
and most experienced Of them, whether
they speak over the radio or wireless
their stories to the newspapers, must
conform to the rigid supervision of the
military censors.

Indignation Expressed

To the Editor of The Star:
The strike of the workers for Parke-
Davis and Company, which is holding
up the manufacture of drugs SO neces-
sary to the recovery of our soldiers
wounded in battle, is SO rank it smells
to high heaven. How can they engage
in such strike for any purpose?
What do our soldiers, sailors and
marines who have returned from the
front, some of them disabled, and who
have seen their comrades lying in hos
pitfalls suffering from their wounds
think Of their patriotic CD fellow citi-
zens who, in order to accomplished their
selfish aims, are willing to stop the
flow of medicines to those who have
sacrificed their bodies for their coun-
try and let them suffer on the field
of battle for want of healing drugs?
Am l right in my belief that these
strikes merit the contempt of all decent
men? I wish the returned soldiers,
sailors and marines would make their
feelings known in the public press. To
my mind the strike is so shocking that
l am moved to express herein my
indignation.
