Philadelphia, Sept. II -AP-
Clinging to their narrow American
League lead despite their second
straight setback at the hands OF
the Hast place Philadelphia Athlet-
les, the Detroit Tigers went out
today to swing at the offerings OF
no-hit Dick Fowler in their last sp-
pearance here this season.
The Tigers kicked away a golden
opportunity to down the AS yes

games this season but blew a ninth
inning lead as Philadelphia scored
twice off Jim Tobin's knuckle-ball-
ing, winning 3 to 2 as Tobin walked
Edgar Busch with the bases loaded
to force across the deciding run.
Tobin allowed but seven hits and
gave four walks but three OF the
safeties and two OF the passes
were punched in the Philadelphia
ninth, when the AS came from be-
hind to win with a two-run rally.
Bob Swift opened the Tiger sew
enth with a single, moved TO sec
ond on Tobin's sacrifice and CROSS
ed the plate on Skeeter Webb's
single TO center, giving Detroit ?
/ lead that looked like the ball
game.
Philadelphia's only hit off To
bin from the second to the fateful
ninth inning was a double by
George Kell in the seventh but he
went out trying TO stretch the
blow to three bases.
Hal Peck, first up for the AS in
the ninth, went out on a fly to Roy
Cullenbine. but then the roof fell
in on Tobin.
Bill McGhee tripled to right and
Ben Kish went in to run. Bobby
Estalella slapped sharp single to
left, scoring Kish with the tying
run.
Dick Siebert bounced a double
off the right field wall, sending Es-
talella to third. and Tobin walked
Kell Intentionally to fill the bases.

and Tobin appeared likely to get
past the crisis but when Busch
worked the count to three and two
Umpire Rue called the next one a
ball and Estalella walked in from
third with the winning run.

neither cries of despair nor predic-

and unemployment will fade as
surely as shadows before the rays of

duce a greater abundance for life,
Detroit will again become the dy-

eagerly. The same "know- how" that

THE two billion-dollar atomic
l. bombs which brought Japan
in cringing surrender to the
good neighbor she had treach-
erously attacked at Pearl
Harbor, could be the only two
bombs of this cosmic power ever
to be dropped on this earth.
They may be the first, the
only, and the last atomic weap-
ons ever to be used for the
purposes of war. and they can
enjoy this distinction if the
United States, having this ter
rible secret in its possession,
locks up in complete security
from all the world, including
our closest allies.
There is already a powerful
opinion in high circles in Wash
ington that this secret should be
kept as a secret Of the United
States alone. 10 be used in the
future by this country alone as
a guarantee of perpetual peace.
The question as to what au-
thority in this government shall
make the decision is already in
the minds of members of the
legislative branch. ngress

the secret shall not divulge it

should be transferred, as a sort
of sacred trust, to the council
of the United Nations, as
trustees.
That would make il as secret
as a piece of news that has been
broadcast over every radio
hookup in the world.
Scientists here are by no
means unanimously of the
opinion that this fateful secret,
for the good or i'll of mankind,
cannot be kept so far as its
application TO war is concerned.
Science has known how TO
split the atom. but the manu-.
facture of the bomb involves

THE war bubble has burst, as we
l. all knew and prayed-that it
would.
That it has hit Detroit hard
probably harder than any one area in
the country - was expected. We
could not be the Arsenal of Democ-
racy, the makers of the greatest
array of weapons ever unleashed
against foe, without experiencing
this result.
No one expected, or wanted, this
vast war economy to continue, no
more than any one ever expected
Willow Run to turn out bombers for
ever. We had job to do and we did
it. The results we attained justify
any price we may now pay.
THE price we are to pay now is
L unemployment. That, too, was to
be expected. We could not build up
the great arms industry here to turn
out planes, tanks, guns, trucks,
weapons, munitions-yes, even parts
for the atomic bombs-without at the
same time building up a vast force
which we did not expect to absorb in
its entirety when peace came.
Our jobless total has been swelled
double in the past week. 1t is still
growing and for while, it will con-
tinue to grow.

Too many discharged service
men, paid off at separation centers
in great cities far from their homes,
have fallen victim to robbers or

That is a poor Homecoming for a
man who has fought his country's

It transforms an occasion that

the returning soldier and for his
family into one of chagrin for the

MY DEAR Mr. HEARST:
MAY J. in behalf of the Winona Lake
UVl Christian Assembly as its executive
manager, express our sincere thanks and
appreciation for the attitude you have taken
as well as the space you are requesting your
papers throughout the country to give to this
great Youth for Christ movement.
We believe it is the remedy for child de-
linquency and if given the proper publicity
and cooperation of the press along with such
men as DR.. Torrey Johnson of Chicago as
president, as well as the group of men he
has with him, it will, we believe, change the
whole course in life for millions of young
people.
We had one of the greatest gatherings of
this type ever held at Winona Lake last week.
There were tremendous crowds. The music
and speaking were outstanding and We be-
lieve this movement took a tremendous leap
forward.
A great deal of the success was due to
the publicity and cooperation given by your
papers and may express my personal and
sincere gratitude for the wonderful work done
by one of your reporters from the Chicago
paper, Mr.. Wesley Hartzell. He is splendid
young man and did great piece of work here
for us. He was most cooperative and seemed
to sense Immediately what, was real news
value and what should be printed to give the
best information for this great work.
Again thanking you for your cooperation
and interest, / remain, very truly yours,
