Acting End Choice
For Barbara Luddy

1t was more of surprise to Bar
bara Luddy than anyone else when
she became radio actress.
The earliest ambition of Mutuals
First Nighter" star was to become a
singer. This was crystallized at the
tender age of eight when she met
with phenomenal success chanting
''Just A Baby's Prayer at Twilight"
at Red Cross pageant. For this
feat she got SIS and enough encour-
agement to start her on the vaude-
william road This was in her home
state of Montana and she went all
the way to San Diego and into her
early teens before, inexplicably, her
voice failed her. At thirteen, Bar
bara felt herself a failure.
But girl like Barbara never
gives up. 1t wasn't too much later
that she started a second career, this
time acting in George Harris screen
comedies. From there she went on
to various stock companies, both In
America and abroad. The year 1880
brought Barbara back to the states
and plunked her in the middle of a
depression which found the stage at
very low ebb. So when radio
opened its doors, she stepped in and
found herself an announcer on a
woman's program. This job led to
roles in various dramatic shows.
When First Nighter" CARED We'd
nesdays, 9:30-10 p. NO. resumed its
broadcasts after a summer layof in
1896, Barbara became its star, and
she's been the leading lady of the
Little Theatre Off Times Square
ever since.
'This is one case when second
choice turned out better than first, .
comments Barbara.

Tobacco Under Price Control.

The OPA has brought Maryland
cigarette tobacco under price con-
troll for the first time at a season
weighted average ceiling price of So
cents a pound. The price schedule
applies to the 1913 crop and pre-
vious crops purchased or delivered
from now on. Maryland Tobacco,
known as Type 80, was brought I'M
der price control, the OPA said, ito
prevent excessive prices for the
1943 crop which might threaten ex-
listing ceiling prices of cigarettes. %
The agency said the new prices
we're high enough to secure ade-
quate production. They compare
with season average prices of 33
cents pound for the 1910 crop, 3d.
cents for the, 1941 crop and SOS
cents for the 1912 crop, the OPA
said.

Over 26 Group Here
May Not Be Called

In discussing the revised Selective
Service regulations with an official
of the Washington County Draft
Boards, he advised us that there is
little or no chance of any Hagers
town or Washington County men in
the 1929 group being called up at
present, and this includes those inen
from Board l, who went to Balti-
more on April 10 for their pre-in-
duction physical examination. The
official further stated that no men
in the 1898 class would be called
either.
The following excerpt from the
amended draft regulations gives a
clear and simple picture of the new
ruling on men in the above two age
groups:
1.-THE effect of the requirements of
the armed forces on classification
policies.-The number of men re-
quired to bring the armed forces to
their required strength is now rela-
lively small. The number of men
who will be required by the armed
forces as requirements will, to a
large extent, depend upon the for
tunes of war. The policy of the Sc
lective Service System, therefore,
cannot be rigid but must be subject
to adjustment as the needs of the
armed forces change.
'The armed forces have indicated
that their greatest immediate need
is for physically fit men in the
younger age groups, capable of the
highest degree of efficiency under
combat conditions. Accordingly, oc-
cupational deferment policies have
been adopted which should release
large numbers of younger physically
fit men for military service and, at
the same time, provide for the defer
ment of greater numbers of men to
engage in activities in war produc-
ton or in support of the national
health, safety, or interest, who are
in the older age groups, or are in the
younger age groups but are either
physically disqualified for any mill
tary service or qualified for limited
military service only.
Under these policies. the prospect
for registrants, ages 18 through Is,
is service in the armed forces, unless
they meet the specific conditions for
deferment which have been estab-
lished by the Director of Selective
Service.
"The prospect for registrants, ages
26 through 30, who are found to be
necessary to and regularly engaged
in activities in war production, or
in support of the national health,
safety, or interest, is that they will
remain in civilian life for the time
being, subject to adjustment as the
needs of the armed forces change.
"The prospect for registrants, ages
80 through 81, regardless of their
physical condition, and for regis
trants of any age who are either dis
qualified for general military ser
vice or qualified for limited military
service only, and who are regularly
engaged in and who remain in &C
tivities in war productio or in sup
port of the national health, safety, or
interest, is that they will remain in
civilian life for an indefinite period,
subject to adjustment as the needs
of the armed forces change"

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

With two weeks of the. Interstate
League schedule on the record
books. it is good to see the Owls
perched on top of the heap. Herb
Brett has had the boys hustling
from the opening game and with all
sly teams fairly evenly matched, ii
is the hustling team that is going to
spell the difference
In fairness to the fans, who natur-
ally are going to root for home
town bow. / believe a full explana-
ton should be given concerning the
absence from the lineup OF Palko-
WITT, who has been replaced at third
base by Zuzulock.
Palkowitz, one of the best pros
poets uncovered in long while, is
going in the Navy, having already
passed his physical examination
He was signed by the Owls man.
agement to a contract that gives
him his outright release as soon as
he is called and that clause in his
contract made it necessary for Herb
Brett to start in looking for a new
third baseman. as soon as it was
certain that Palkowitz was going in
the Navy.
In discussing Palkowitz with this
reporter, Brett said that if he was
going to remain with the team all
season, he would have stayed in the
lineup, as while he needs little
more experience, the boy is a real
find. But Brett's job is to put a
winning ball club on the field and
he couldn't afford to wait till Pal
kowitz was actually called up, be-
fore looking for someone to take
his place.
1t looks as if Schmidt, now play
ing shortstop, will be real help.
He's quite hustler and has good
throwing arm.
OF course, this early in the sea-
son, it is impossible to get set on a
lineup and Brett will probably take
"look-see" as several other pros
poets before deciding on the final
lineup.
The Owls celebrated their home
coming Tuesday night, by taking a
wild and woody game from Whining
ton, 18 to 16. Manager Brett wound
up as the winning pitcher.

The st. Louis Browns finally
came back to the rest of the League,
after stealing long lead, and with
the exception of the Chicago Cubs,
the teams in both leagues are fairly
well punched.
Maybe the Cubs will pull out of
their slump, after Charlie Grumm
gets set in his job as manager, and
get back into contention, but right
now they don't seem able to get the
winning spirit"

1t was a strange coincidence that
when Clyde Sohun, of the Cincin-
natti Reds, pitched that no hitter
on Monday, the losing pitcher
should be Jim Tobin, of the Boston
Braves, the only other pitcher in
the Major Leagues to pitch no
hitter this season.
