 Anyone attending the Masses yes- terday at St. Francis Xavier church, and heard the pastor, Rev. James Broderick pray for the soul of our late departed president of the United States, Franklin D.

 Washington Park is certainly feel ing the need of more police protec- tion with the coming of warm Weather-when the youngsters all get out in the open air and find all kinds of things to occupy their mis- chievous selves with, in the nature of stoning everything-electric light poles, cats or dogs, in fact that makes for a target.
 We all know that the police de- partment is eaxed to capacity and being short of help like every other occupation nowadays, and the mo- tor patrol stopping at the park every hour, it almost seems impossible for the men to take care of everything no matter how conscientious they may be.

SCORE BY INNINGS
By GAYLE TALBOT associated Press Sports Writ


 DETROIT, Oct 5. Thirty-six- year-old Claude Passeau of the Chi cago Cubs delivered the greatest pitching performance of World Series history today when he held the Detroit Tigers to single hit and turned them back, 3 to 0, in the third game of the l945 classic.
 Only Rudy York's clean single to left field in the second inning de- prived 55,500 spectators of the thrill of a no-hit, no-run showing by the slender veteran from Lucedale, Miss. Only one other Tiger reached first, on walk to Bob Swift in the sixth inning and he was wiped out on a double play.
 Only 28 American League bat ters faced Passeau's sharp curve and medium fast ball, as he hurled the Cubs into a 9 to 1 lead in games won and sent them joyously home- ward tonight for the remaining contests necessary to wind up the series.
 The only World Series perform ance even remotely challenging Pas seau's brilliant feat was turned in by Ed Ruelbach of the Chicago Cubs of 1906. when he limited the White Sox to one safety and beat them, T to 1.
 Ruelbach, however. issued six passes against the single walk off Passeau today. Also, he hit one batter and delivered wild pitch, so his game, though undeniably bril- liant. scarcely equalled the gem seen at. Briggs Stadium today.
 Passeau. ironically. is a former chattel of the Detroit farm system.

NEW POLICY ADVANCED
 ON FISHING
State Department Officer Needed for Action in
 North Pacific

WASHINGTON, Oct 5-Restora- tion of the fisheries section of the State Department to policy-making rank is advocated by Senator Mag nuson CD-Wash.).
 He told reporter today that President Truman's recent procla- nation establishing a basis for fishing agreements in the North Pacific had made it imperative that the State Department officer in charge of fisheries be placed in a position whereby he could work out international agree mt ents with ranking foreign officials.
 Magnuson said he also will pro- pose that the man placed in charge of the fisheries negotiations be fa- miliar with Pacific conditions.
 Atlantic fisheries" he said, "are at present apparently well regu- lated. The problems of new agree ments apply primarily to the Pa cific areas"
 Under Secretary Hull, Magnuson said, the departments fisheries ad- visor was the capable Leo D. Stur- geon, who ranked as an Assistant Secretary of State. It appeared then, he observed, that a sound policy was about to be put into effect
 When Edward Stettinius became secretary, fisheries matters were turned over to the Commodities Division, where they remain.
 Unions and operators, Magnu- son said, want an adequate fishing division reestablished on level where it can be made interna- tionally effective"
 He said negotiations will be necessary not only with Canada, but with Russia and Japan if ef- fective fishing regulations are to be developed for the tuna, sardines, crabs, bottom fish and other con- mercially exploitable sea life.
 The International Fisheries Con- mission, he said, has restored the halibut fishing grounds to the finest in the world. Similar pro- lection, he thinks, should be given other types of fish, seal and whale.

 The prisoners-all Japanese-had enjoyed comparative comfort at Yokohama since their arrest.
 At Omori they will live in barren, wooden barracks-style structures, bathe in Japan's traditional large, wooden tubs; eat food cooked in huge metal cauldrons and served from large wooden buckets, and sleep on mats on rough, board floors.
 That was the way it was when American and other prisoners of war were kept there and that is the way it. will be for the Japanese Generals, Admirals, Cabinet mem- bers or plain eX-soldiers.

jApAN'S CABINET
 RESIGNS
Former Foreign Minister Yoshidd Reported New
 Nip Govt. Head
By RUSSELL BRINES Associated Press Correspondent


 TOKYO, Oct. 5.-Japan's pest surrender cabinet quit today because it couldn't CT Wouldn' enforce Gen. MacArthur's revolutionary freedom policy and oust it's Home Minister and Japanese newspaper men said former Foreign Minister Shigeru Yoshida might" be the new Premier.
 Emperor Hirohito accepted the resignations of Prince Higashi- -Kuni and his entire cabinet with the comment that is good" and made it clear that he would ask Mac Arthur's prior approval of the next Premier
 Yoshida, a career diplomat, told Japanese interviewers that it is not l." but they pointed out that he lis always foxy and wouldn't admit it beforehand anyway" They added that two visits they said he made to the Imperial Palace today-and two calls at MacArthur's head quarters indicated his selection and approval
 Headquarters explained in press release tonight that Yoshida's first call had been to inform the Allied Command officially of the resigna- tion of the cabinet and that a new cabinet was being formed
 The newspaper ASahi today cited two direct" reasons for the cabinet s fall: It felt that it couldn't carry out MacArthur's freedom directive; and it felt that it couldn't be re- sponsible for maintenance of peace and order after the directed re- moval of leading police officials.
 Customarily, cabinet changes in Japan are watched by observing the journeys of ministers after the resignations. Circumstantial evidence Eff the itinerary of Yoshida was correctly reported by the Japanese would indicate the se- lection and approval of a new Pre- mier, since deliberations within the palace grounds evidently ended after YQshida reported back.
 Japanese sources, discussing Kon- oye's visit to Yoshida, pointed out that customarily new Premier receives-rather than makes calls; Konoye called on Yoshida.

PLANS AID,
 SHIPPING
 10 ALASKA
Senator Mdgnuson Pro- poses Government Build
 Graft, Then Trade In

WASHINGTON, Oct 5-Benefits to Alaskan shippers equal to those offered other operators under the Ship Disposal Bill are sought by Senator Magnuson fD-WashD.
 Magnuson has proposed an amendment to the pending bill which would permit the Maritime Commission to build ships suitable for the Alaskan trade. The amend ment has been the subject of dis cussions with Senator Radcliffe D-Md), chairman of the sub- committee handling the bill.
 To Allow Trade-In
 The proposed act, Magnuson told a reporter, would permit an oper- ator to trade in his present vessel for a new one at about 50 per cent of the value of the new ship. This is a concession regarded as partial compensation for use Of the privately owned ships during the war, he explained.
 But" Magnuson said, none of the governments surplus ships is suited to the Alaskan trade, which requires a combination passenger and freight carrier Therefore, I have suggested that, if proper showing is made and no ships to meet the need are available> the government build them"
 Amendment
 Magnuson said he was con- fronted with the argument that the amendment should be made to the origina. Maritime Commission Act
 However" he said, T shall en- deayor to get an expression of policy from the committee, so that
 can be assured of it's support for separate bill If we do not provide for a replacement of the present Alaskan merchant fleet, the Canadians will take over. If the American operators are forced to build their own craft, the rates will have to be doubled and they are high enough as it is"
