BY JACK CUDDY

(United Press Staff COrrespOndenU
 New York, February 3. (UP) --- Tho success of wartime baseball with comparatively mediocre talent has convinced many club owners that too much emphasis has been placed upon stars" during the past 20 years.
 One owner, who desired to remain anonymous, said today, Do you realize that the American League actually broke it's all-time attend- ance record during the l944 sea son, although the general standard of play was below normal and most of the stars were in service?"
 He explained that the American circuit paid attendance was 4,798, l58 persons; but that the real attend ance was more than 5,595,000 when one included the l97 900 who paid to see the leagues eight War-rSlef games and the COG, 900 service men who were admitted free during the campaign This 5595, GOO total bet ters the all-time record Of 5,433, ,79l, <,
 rhich was established in 1940, he de-
 ared
 This tremendous outpouring to the parks proved conclusively that the game Is the thing" regardless of the identities of the players . regardless of their fame or their ob- ycurity, the owner stressed They IA tight race in the American " gue," he continued. 'They had tItwe, hot games, and the fans came out to see them, even though many of the players were practically un- knowns to most of the fans. "I have talked to other owners about this remarkable attendance, attracted with Sub-par talent, and believe me 1t has given them some thing to think about. From thelr conversations I can predic tthat the emphasis in post-War baseball will be upon well-rounded clubs, rather than upon expensive, big-tlme { stars. owners ard managers will concentrate on developing or pur- chasing competent men for e-V-e-r-y position on the team, instead or spending lavishly for two or three big-namers.'
 What about the manpower Situ- ation now? :. we asked the owner
 He replied, "It's rot nearly as black as painted" He said the eight American League clubs are sending out contracts to 276 players, which is about 20 more than were mailed last year. Although more than 6a American League players entered service since last spring, he said
 more men are available for play now
 than in "A because of discharges
 who returned from service and be-
 cause of new players who came uI
 from the minors. He estimated thai about 34 performers were available
 now for each American circuit club and that even If each outfit lost Il or l2 through re-examlnationS, they
 still would have 22 or 24 left,
 "In this connection" he reminded
 Don't forget that in World War

New York. Feb. 3 - (UPJ -- EX- tension Of the term of the Brooklyn grand jury investiga- ing alleged corruption that has reached out into all sports left no doubt today that every detail O. gambling operations il greater New York would be probed before it's scheduled adjournment on March 2. Judge Samuel $. LciboWitz Of the Kings County (Brooklyn) court eX- tended the term of the investigat- ing body with instructions that it's job was to seek out the higher ups in the gambling picture. Earlier this week five Brooklyn College players admitted deal to throw a game at Boston for $3,000
 There is sound logic in so wide an inveStigation,' LeiboWitz said. Tt may very well lead to a central organization of corruption that has reached out into all sports. The grand jury can render q great pub lie service in such an investigation. .
 Meanwhile, the five players were expelled from their college yesterday by President Harry D. Gideonse who said that their action was clearly case of conduct unbecom- ing q student in the college"
 This case should not be allowed to reflect in any way on the integ- rity of the student body of the col lege or the other members of the basketball squad he said.
 The players were Bo bLeder, Bud dy Barnett, Jerry Green, Stanley Simon and Larry Pcarlstein.
 LeiboWitz urged the grand jury to include sports writers in their sum moning of persons for it's inquiry.

How to Dry
Flowers
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times GaTdea Editor

nrEoh AAmea
YOU KNOW these lovely pic
lures made Of dried flowers
that sell for quite a price? ?
Well, they car be made at
home. Two Of my friends have
been most successful IN repro
ducing the loveliest of COM
positions that they saw first in
exclusive shops
First they had 10 pick and
choose the types of flowers they
wanted TO use. For a really
good floral composition it is
necessary 10 have some OF each
OF three general types OF flow
ers: the target type that is
round like a calendula or rose
or Queen Anne's lace, the
steeple type such as snapdragon
or lupine or delphinium and the
background type like hardy as
ters or baby's breath.
First Steps
Next the flowers must be
dried. My friends used a method
that / described on these pages
way back in 1912. Here il is.
Find two cardboard boxes,
one large and long enough TO
hold the flowers you wish TO
dry, the second larger than the
first so that the first will fit
into il with some space 10
spare. Remove the bottom from
the first box and fit a piece Of
fine mesh screening over il in
stead.
If you can't get the wire
screening, make Sits IN the
bottom Of the smaller box and
let II 60 al that. Put the
smaller box inside the larger
and put a layer Of powdered
borax on the bottom. Make IT
half an inch thick.
Add More BorsT
New lay down the flowers
YOU wish 10 dry and surround
ZACH part with more powdered
boraX.
Then cover the spray with
JOraX and put both boxes un-
covered in some out-of- -the-way
pot where the flowers may dry.
In two or three days, weight
down the spray with one or two
bricks or some other flat
weight. Thus the spray viii be
pressed while drying.
Al the end of three weeks,
shake the borax from the top
box through the Sits or screen
ing in the bottom and you'll
have the dried and pressed
spray ready 10 use. Flowers
other than red ones will dry
best. Tomorrow we'll tell you
how To make the pictures.

Ask Improvements. In Bill Of Rights"
WASHINGTON HPAl

WASHINGTON (LPA) = American Federation of Labor affiliates are swinging into ac- ton on a program of assist ance to returning war veter- ans, drafted at last weeks quarterly session of the Fed eratiOn's executive council in Chicago.
 Under that program all cen tral labor bodies, which have not already done so, are to establish special committees which will have the task of helping "vets" to find good jobs at union wages.
 Improvements
 Also. the council called upon its affiliated national and international unions to negotiate agreements with employers, under which ex- servicemen will get ''fair and equitable" opportunity both in em- ployment and in job training, such as apprenticeship. Many such agreements have already been ne- gOtiated.
 A third point in the Councils pro gram pledged the A.F.L. to see that veterans shall be given accumulated seniority for time spent in service. "just as though they had renamed continuously in their former jobs.
 Improvements in the Cl Bill of Rights and other veterans legisla- ton will also be sought by the AFL to give the former fighting men higher unemployment com- pensation. better opportunities for training and education, and greater assistance in buying homes and starting up in business, if they so desire.
 Also, the Council prior to adjourn ment offered 10-point program to facilitate reconversion and provide high employment. Among the points were:
 Government action to give the highest priority to expansion of peacetime production.
 Immediate wage increases to sus- tain workers purchasing power.
 Higher unemployment compensa- ton of up to $25 week for 70 weeks year.
 Establishment of 65-cent mini mum wage now; more later.
 Restoration of free collective bargaining.
 Legislation for an expanded housing program and other job creating projects.

$4,OOO and over levels. The diff ference appears, however, to have been made up in part by more ire quent restaurant meals.
 "In all income groups the increase in expenditures exceeds considerably the increase in quantities of food pur- chased
 Eating More Meat?
 Amounts spent for meat, poultry, and fish represented a larger share of the total at the lower incomes in 1914 than in 1942, and a smaller share at the higher levels. The meat figures may well reflect the rationing pro- gram which is designed to distribute short supplies equally among. all groups. They suggest, also, tendency for the low income groups to pay close to the limit of their red point supply"
 Parrish said that, while there are fewer city families with incomes below $l ,OOO than in any previous time, it is obvious that with $7OO of their income going for food these families must have run up large debts, cut seriously into any savings they had, or reduced their purchases of other living essentials to a very small point.
