Propaganda Plan
To Retain Powers

WASHINGTON, March 81. CUP)
The state department announce
the Nazi regime in Germany al
ready has launched a widespread
campaign to perpetrate Nazi doc
times after the war.
A formal announcement for the
department said these plans were
known through reliable information
collected by the Allied governments
In addition to plans already in OPP
Grafton, others ale ready to be
started Immediately upon termina-
ton of hostilities, the department
said.
"The German propaganda is to
be an integral part of the overall
postwar (NazD program, the state
ment said. THE immediate aim of
the propaganda program will be di-
rected at removing Allied control
measures by 'softening up the Al
lies through a subtle plea for fair
treatment of Germans"
The Allied countries recognize
these plans as a danger and ccn-
stant menace to postwar peace and
security, the department said. They
are taking such actions "as is nec-
essary to smash the economic and
political foundation of future Ger
man aggression.

MAY NOT AGREE

A few (million) fans may disagree
with our choice of the Cubs to win
the National League pennant. rele-
eating the st. Louise Cardinals and
their three straight pennants to
second place. But at the present
writing it seems that Banjo Cholly
Grimm and his Chicago Bruins have
a bit of a corner on manpoWer-
as far as Ford Frick's circuit is con-
cerned.
If Uncle Sam grabs Billy Nichol-
son, National League home run king
and runs-batted in champion. our
Chicago prediction may be bit
moist. Dashing Billy is in la; but
he is moving in to start the season,
and he may last out
Meanwhile, the Cardinals seem to
lack what it takes for another PEN
nant. Manager Billy SouthWorth
suffered a tragic loss in the service
death of his flier son. Their entire
first-string outfield will be gone by
opening day if Johnny Hopp is TAX
en- by Uncle Sam, as expected. Stan
Musial and Danny Litwhiler already
are in. Marty Marion and Walker
Cooper are likely to go; also pitcher
Max Lanier. Their excellent infield
of Sanders. Verban, Marion and
Kurowski is left intact; but the
cards do not shape up as pennant
winners.
In the American League, the De-
troit Tigers and the best pitching
staff in baseball should beat out the
st. Louis Browns, with the New
York Yankees coming in third. De-
troit's terrific pitching tandem of
Hal Newhouse and Dizzy Trout will
have the assistance this season of
AL Benton, who has been in service
since 1912. Also on hand are pitch
ers Frank Overmire, Rufus Gentry,
and Johnny Corsica. and Minor
League prospects Walter Wilson,
Forrest Orrell and Bob Gillespie.
The Tigers have grand catching to
handle these FINGERS.
Despite the service loss of Pinky
Higgins. the Tigers should have a
better balanced infield in York %,
Mayo (2), Webb US) and Hoover
80.
We believe the teams will finish in
the following order
Chicago, st. Louis, Pitts
burg, New York. Cincinnati, Brook
lyn. Philadelphia. Boston.
American-Deroit, st. Louis. New
York Cleveland. Chicago, Phila-
delphia Washington, Boston.

MARYLAND in LINE WITH
TRUMAN PLAN

President Humans proposals to
Congress for extension of the unem-
ployment Compensation System have
already been surpassed in Maryland,
it was revealed after compal ison of
the acknowledgements enact
ments at the last session of the Leg
islature.
The Maryland law now in effect
went several steps further than the
Presidents plan. Accordingly, obser-
vers pointed out, in the event that
Congress follows the Presidents sug-
gestion it will find that Maryland has
already revamped it's system ahead
of the rest of the country.
Governor O'Conor initiated the
move before the Legislature in a Spe-
cial Message sent to the Senate and
House on January 18th.
After the enactment of the Mary
land law, officials of the Social Sc
curity Board and Spokesman for tie
systems in various States, proclaim
ed the Maryland law as the most
liberal in the country.

FLAG DAY

Thursday of next week, June IA,
is Flag Day, the birthday of Old
Glory, most beautiful of all national
flags.
Our flag is not only the most at
tractive in design, but it is also truly
representative OF. the nation, for in
it's blue field there are forty-eight
glistening stars, representing each
State of the Union.
More than century and a half
has passed since the Star Spangled
Banner was first flung to the breeze.
Step by step it has kept pace with the
forward march of the nation. 1t
stands for patriotism, loyalty and
fidelity to the ideals of America.
Long before the Stars and Stripes
became the symbol of our great ma
ton, there were scores of flags rep
resenting the hopes and aspirations
of our forefathers Colonial flags
show anchors, beavers, rattlesnakes,
pine trees and various other insignia.
Some of them bore the words,
Hope" Liberty" or "An Appeal to
Heaven" A favorite motto beneath
the rattlesnake design was Don't
Tread on Me-"
But all of the earlier types disap-
peared when on june IA, 1877, the
Continental Congress resolved THAT
the flag of the thirteen United States
be thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in blue field, represent
ing a new constellation"
In the intervening years it has re-
NAMED unchanged, save only for an
occasional variation in the number
of stars and stripes, when authorized
by Congress, and the addition of a
star for each new State.
Unfurl the Grand Old Flag on its
birthday, June 14th.
