SPORTS TRAIL

The hockey league rules are a
little more elastic than those of
baseball. That is, they can be
changed more quickly to meet en-
ergencies, without the ponderous
machinery that must be set in mo-
ton to change baseball rules.
The hockey clubs wanted to put
as good teams as possible on the
ice, and if some of the good play
ers were in position to play only
at home, they were allowed to play
only at home. theoretically, under
this system, a club could have two
different teams, one for home
games and one for road games,
but it never would reach that point.
We haven't heard commissioner
Lands reaction to the Wagner act
yet, but we imagine that there is
nothing to keep a baseball club
from using a part-time player as
long as the club kept within the
player limit.
And this year, with the clubs
lucky to get enough men to reach
the limit, any team probably would
welcome part-time player Of ma
jor league ability. It would work
out particularly well in the case Of
pitchers, who ordinarily work only
oce every four or five days any
way, and in the case of old gaf-
fers with dyspeptic arms, once
a week.
Anyway, under present conditions
the idea is sound and a player
shy team which might be just an
open-date on the road might make
satisfactory showing for the
home fans who, after all, are the
ones who pay the freight.

another blow-new Federal taxes
ranging from SO cents to 60 cents

To make the day even more dis
NAL for the drinking classes, the
Office of Price Administration said
1t had not YET decided whether
the new tax would be added to
the price of drinks sold over the
bar. The betting, however, was
that the tax would be passed on
the highball drinkers and not abb
sorbed by the tavern keepers.

declined to name him.

Navy regulations against cam

an expression that candidacy
must not interfere with the per-
Torrance Of military duty. Once
nominated, such candidate,
while on active duty, would retain
the right to vote and to express
political opinions privately and
informally. But he could not make
political speeches or publish ar
ticles or engage in any other
public activity looking to the

elected President he would revert
to the retired list. A reserve Off
Ger would be returned to inactive
status.

NEW YORK, March 10.-(RAThe
announcement by Hal Wagner, a
2-B defense worker, that he will
work the weekend shift behind the
plate for the Philadelphia athletics
in their home and nearby road
games this year may solve a prob
lem for other major league clubs
which have players in defense work
who are uncertain as to just what
to do.
1t won't affect very many, chief
ly because ball players scatter like
a handful of marbles after sea-
son ends and very few stay in the
cities in which their clubs operate,
and unless the war worker is en-
ployed in the same town in which
he plays, it just wouldn't work.
However, there might be a few
who could double up under the
Wagner plan.
Last year Larry French had
more or less the same idea. He
had joined the naval reserve and
was stationed in Brooklyn, and fig
ured he could pitch for the Dod-
gers in their weekend home games
incidentally giving any wages he
received for such chores to chart
ty. It was just an idea, though.
He asked the navy, and the navy
said no.
The national hockey league, a
progressive organization, permitted
such part-time appearances by
players in defense work this year.
Detroit, Montreal and Toronto, and
maybe some others, had men on
their rosters who waited for the
team to come home before they
played, and the idea apparently
worked out satisfactorily.

The broadcast termed the raids
Of small military value but said
they had propaganda value, "par-

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
CIT Col Robert S. Allen now on activ'
service with the Army

WASHINGTON - Now that the
greatest invasion in the history of
modern warfare has started, some
of the inside story regarding this,
the most controversial question that
has confronted the Allies, can be
reviewed.
1t is no secret that the second
front has been the Sorest subject
of debate between the British and
Russians and, at times, even be-
tween U. S. and British military
leaders, since the war began.
AT one time, when the Russians
were hard-presscd and fighting for
their lives at Stalingrad and in
the winter of 1942-1943, it was
feared by some U. S. military OBJ
servers that Stain might even
withdraw from the war because OF
bitterness over the fact that the
second front was not started.
The controversial question first
arose in the early summer of 1912,
a few months after Pearl Harbor,
when Foreign Minister Molotoff
came to London, then to Washing
ton, for important political military
conferences. Although Poland and
the Baltic States were on his list
of subjects to be discussed, at the
very top of the list was the second
front.
At that time, the American
Army was relatively small and not
too we'll prepared. Molotoff's thesis
was that we should persuade our
British allies, with a million-man
army in England, to hit Germany
from the west. President Roose-
welt had to say that we could not
high pressure an ally.
However, General Marshall did
work out plan for Landing
across the Channel in the fall OF
1912 His plan was based on the
fact that the Nazis had thrown
the cream of their entire army
into Russia and had their lines
extended as far as Stalingrad, leav-
ing France and Western Europe
relatively undefended.
Marshall proposed this instead of
the North Africa landing of No
vember, 1912. However, Churchill
was not willing to take the chance
and held out for his plan to strike
through the soft underbelly of
the Axis namely North Africa and
the Mediterranean.

By JUDsoN O'QUINN

LONDON, June 10. 4 Armies in
exile-Poles, Norwegians, Dutc n,
Belgians, Czechs--awaited the hour
to strike al the Nazi conqueror OF
their homelands.
Highly-skilled mountain fighters
from Norway, and commandos and
parachutists from Belgium and the
Netherlands were ready.
The Dutch, Belgian, Norwegian
and Czechoslovak units are small.
But what they lack in size they
expect to make up in special tasks
alongside their big allies.
Polish forces were reorganized
after the German victory, and
now more than 100000 troops are
in Britain and Italy-about a third
of them in Britain.
Strong Polish tank, artillery,
parachute and infantry units were
built up on this island, and Polish
fliers with the Royal Air Force
have been hitting the Hun since
before the Battle of Britain.
The Polish air force in the Raj
more than 10000 men--haye shot
down Clio German planes and drop
ped 14,592,l51 pounds of bombs
since 1910.
Vessels of the Belgium, the
Netherlands and Norway merchant
marine have been massed. The
1904 ships of the Norwegian mer-
chant marine, once fourth largest
in the world, proved indispensable
while Britain and America rushed
shipbuilding and battled U-boats-
The Dutch brought 100000 tons
of shipping and the Belgians
$4,000.
The Princess Irene Brigade is
the principal Dutch formation.
Dutchmen fly with the Raj and
some are fighting in the far Pacific.
There are Belgian squadrons in
the Raj, as well as small ground
forces.
Inland Czechoslovakia had a
tough time getting men out of the
country, but some left after Mu-
mich. Others now fight with the
Red Army. One unit of Czech
forces operates with the British
here and Czechs fly with the Raj.
All nationals from other coun-
tries join the Czech forces volun-
tarily, because they received no
Gallup.
