haired Missouri farmer-already
has done a grand job of sparkling
the New York Yankees out of their
doldrumS. regardless of any addi-
tional ignition which may result
from Frank Crosettis joining the
Yanks at st. Louis Tuesday.
1t was great break for the PEN
nt-defenders, as we'll as for ga
year-old Martin, when he reported
to the New Workers at Philadelphia
on June % and Immediately took
over the left-field post. His acqui-
sition from the Milwaukee Brewers
for Outfielder Ed Levy and GER
tain amount of cash proved to be
one of Joe McCarthy'S luckiest
deals.
VETERAN ON JOB
Veteran Martin steadied the out
field with his flawless ball-hawk-
ing, and he inspired the batsmen
with his hitting He brought new
life to a club that was in second
divisional club that only the week
before had finished one of the most
disastrous road trips in Yankee
history, losing IA of II games.

momentum until in their last couple
of appearances against the Boston
Red Sox they re-kindled memories
of "murderers' row. Since Dig
Martin joined up they have BLASTED

tin contributed one of quartet OF

The nightcap was washed out by a

both ends of a twin bill from
Cleveland. However, the Martin

Monday for their crucial series
with the Browns are a far different
outfit from that which staggered

Crowley
 Declares
Continued from Page i,

removed from lend-lease foods." One of the oldest stories about And-lease that Crowley classed as fiction" was the report that huge numbers of diapers were sent to Africa and used as headdresses by native chiefs.
 Describing the report as contain ing mere kernel" of truth, Crow ley said diaper cloth was sent from surplus WPA stocks, shipped solely for distribution among children of European families and Hike all ci- vilian supplies, paid for by the French, 100 cents on the dollar" Crowley's disclosures were con- tained in a list prepared for the House Foreign Affairs Committee in connection with the bill to extend the lend-lease act to July 1, 1945.
 Examples of what Crowley pre- pared:
 Fiction: A persistent criticism of lend-lease concerned butter ship ped abroad. It eliminated in the claim that the quantities going to Russia were so great that Soviet soldiers used it to grease their boots.
 Fact: Only 3.8 per cent of the total 1943 output of buffers was lend-lease, with virtually all going to the Red Army which actually used it as hfe-saving injection in new technique for treatment of abdominal wounds whereby food is pumped into the intestines.
 Fiction: Perhaps the most sen- sation rumor was that Russians had traded lend-lease airplanes to the Japanese in return for rubber and these planes were used against American forces.
 Fact: Rumors of this type, and have been proved without founda- ton.
 Fiction: Rumors have been re- current that lend-lease was footing the bill for unjustifiable items rang ing from a party given in Wash lngton by an Allied purchasing mis- sion, to a variety of frivolous i'm ports including powder puffs and nylon stockings.
 Fact: There is no mechanism whereby anyone can requisition a dinner party. AS to nylon hose be- ing made available to Australian women, the story was planted" in Sydney papers by political oppo- nents of a member of the Australian parliament who was up for re-elec- ton. and was followed the next day by an embarrassed denial in Aus tralia."

1. There is 8 distinction between the reconversion of facilities previ- ously converted from peacetime pro- duction to war production and the conversion of facilities acquired dur ing the war for war production.
 2. A relatively large number ot companies now engaged in war pro- duction will be able to transfer to peacetime production with little de- lay and at a negligible cost at the end of the war, or by stages as war production is cIIrtailed.
 3. In companies facing reconver- sion, there is little relation between the estimated cost of reconversion and either the size of the company or the proportion of total faciliteis tot he reconverted facilities. Rather, reconversion costs are closely related to the cost of prior conversion, since reconversion is really conversion in reverse.
 4. Because of the above condi- tions, the disallowance of reconver- sion costs for tax, renegotiation and termination purposes, or the allow ance of some flat percentage is bound to be equitable. Disallowance or percentage allowance has the eff feet of penalizing those companies which have made the greatest con- version of facilities.
 5. Based on estimates by num- Der of small and medium-Sized com panies faced with these costs, the survey indicates that over half of the companies will have reconver- sion costs equalling or exceeding IS per cento their 1942 profits before taxes, or 50 per cent of their profits after taxes.
 6. Possible difficulties are antici- pated in financing reconversion and other post war requirements. In most companies working capital has increased but at a slower rate than sales. Moreover, " per cent of the companies surveyed, reflect that working capital ratios have declined during the war period. In num- Der of small and medium sized com- panies, an increase has been experi- enced of 127 per cent in 1943 sales as compared with 1889, the working capital in these companies in- creased only A per cent between 1889 and 1943, due to an increase in this period of 379 per cent in cur rent liabilities while current assets increased only to 129 per cent. h. creased tax reserves have been a very important factor in the in- crease of the current liabilities.

war correspondent on the spot.
 However" the statement con- tinued, "theater commanders may not always be in a position to bal- ance the relative importance of local problems against the need of giv- ing the American people full and accurate picture of the war situa- ton as a whole, in so far as this can be done without giving the en- emy useful information which he could not otherwise obtain"
 The OWI chief said that the Army and Navy were in complete agreement with his agency that news of military and naval opera tions should be made public "as soon and as fully as military Secur- ity permits"
 Davis told the United Press that the new policy on war news did not grow out of any particular "in- cident" but merely resulted from series of conferences on news hand ling fin year when the news is going to be large and hot"
 Observers recalled, however, that the OWI chief virtually forced the War Department to make public the surprise NaN air raid on Bari, Italy, last December which cost the Allies 26 vessels sunk or beached and an unannounced number of lives.
 Davis threatened to release the news himself if the Army did not do SO the following day. The Army did so.
 The fact that the Luftwaffe had caught the American and British forces mapping first was disclosed in an eye-w.tnes story by United Press Staff Correspondent Walter Logan.
 Logan, in carefully worded re- port, told how he was standing on the Bari docks and the next thing he knew he was in an ambulance, indicating that there had been no warning of the attack.

.CALWAYS FACE
 BRISTOL SUIT
Family of Boy, Judgment Winner Against PrinCi-
 pal, Owes Welfare Bill

Bristol, April 1.-Two suits have been instituted by the City of Bris- tol against Mrs. Joseph Galway of 78 Broad street to recover sums given to the Galway family by the Charity Department over a period of years, it was announced Friday by Corporation Counsel Frederick w. Beach. The suits ask judgment for $3000, the amount of the aid ex- tended, according to Charity Super intendent William F. Smithwick.
 In one action Mrs. Galway is being sued individually and in the other as legal guardian of her son, Donald for whom the Supreme Court of Errors last month upheld a $9140.57 judgment against Harry D. William son, Forestville school principal who recently resigned. Tn Superior Court held that the Galway boy, then 10 years old and a pupil in the third grade, was seriously injured, the injuries resulting in osteomye- litis, when he was being disciplined by the principal.
 ACLOrney beacn Sald ne mas con" ferred with the Waterbury firm that represented the Galway boy in his action against the school principal and added that he thought the suits against Mrs. Galway may be set- tied out of court for $400 to $500.
 The Galway family, 1t was ex- plained, cannot receive any of the money coming to Donald from the judgment until the suits brought by the city are settled.
 Since it has been following 8 policy of recovering on welfare as- sistance wherever possible, the city has been paid sums by individuals aided earlier, officials said Friday, but had not brought suit in such cases. Suits have been brought in the past to recover from other towns on welfare bills, however, 1t was ex- plained.
