DONNELLY NEW HOPE FOR ST.
 LOUIS CARDS
By CARL LUNDQUIST


 New York, May 22-(UP)-Syl- vester (Blix) Donnelly lacks four inches and 34 pounds of matching Morton Cooper's height and bulk, but he gave convincing evidense to- day that he may be able to step in- to the big fellows shoes on the St. Louis Cardinal pitching staff.
 The little man from Olivia, Minn., a wiry 166-pounder who stands five-feet, 10 inches tall, had been a major disappointment to Manager Billy Southworth until he stepped out last night and handed the Brooklyn Dodgers to 0 beating on their own grounds.
 That victory, coming at the end of one of the shakieSt Cardinal road trips in years, may be the morale litter the team needs to get back into the pennant picture. It pro- jected Donnelly into the teams pitching plans because he had all he needed to win any game-a good curve, a dipping fast ball and fine control-and he didn't tire as he us- ually does.
 Prior to last night he had dropped four games in a row and in three of them he had been hit like bat ting practice pitcher. Had he failed last night Southworth might have been tempted to give up on him or relegate him to a relief role, an as- signment in which he was brilliant against the Browns in the 1914 World Series.
 With Max Lanier in North Car olina preparing for Army induc- ton, Cooper under suspension and sulking in St. Louis, and George Dockins being treated for arm trou- ble, the Cards were in desperate straits for pitchers.
 Got Even
 Donnelly'S seven-hit job gave the Cards a record of six victories and seven defeats for the trip. He struck out six men. By winning, the Cards evened a score against Dodger rock ie Tom Seats, who shut them out to win his first major league two weeks ago. He held the Cards scoreless for five innings again last night, but they scored twice in the sixth on a single by Dave Bartosch, an error by catcher Mickey Owen on Bus ter Adams pop-up near the plate, a walk to Ray Sanders and dou- ble by the Cards number one clutch man, George Kurowski. Donnelly added another run on a double in the ninth when Bartoschc also sim gled in run.
 Pirates 5, N. Y.2
 Ernie Lombardi's two homers weren't enough to start the New York Giants off with a victory in the first stop on their road trip at Pittsburgh but they deprived Max Butcher of a shutout and he had to settle for to 2 victory.
 The Pirates gave Butcher a three run working margin in the first inning, Jack Barrett's triple and Tommy O'Briens double producing the runs. Butcher gave up only four hits, but the two by Lombardi were tremendous blows over the long left field fence, putting him in the ma jor league run lead with nine. It was Butchers third victory. There were no other major league games scheduled.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN,

Had 1t been possible to know In
advance what the weather would be
like last night undoubtedly Saul
CASTOR would have chosen another
type of music for the National
Symphony's concert at the Water
Gate. Under the circumstances il
was little difficult to respond tc
the Wagnerian program which was
well selected and of the most ap.
pealing music from the composers s
operas, but the heat continued to be
bothersome although what breezes
there were circulated around the
Water Gate.
While the orchestra numbers were
all familiar, the soloist of the eve-
ming, Astrid Varnay, was a new
conner to this audience and to those
who follow the winter season. The
fame she has acquired as a Wag-
merriam singer aroused interest to
hear her and the reception accorded
her last night indicated the deep
impression she made She is a
singer who has the voice and the
appearance for such special roles as
she has sung at the Metropolitan
Opera. To such equipment she
brings ability at Interpretation out
standing for its careful consider
alton and for a personal warmth
that Immediately arrests the atten-

FILA Ends 11th Year
OF Work in Finest
Financial Condition

Federal Housing Administration
marked completion of its 11th year
of operation this month in what
the agency termed "the soundest
financial condition" in its history.
Income during 1914 from insur-
ance premiums, fees and income on
investments amounted to $29, ,596, 1927
while operating expenses totaled
$10,851 ,227, leaving net of $l8,-
745,100 to be added to various in
surance funds now having net re-
sources of more than $97 900 900,
the agencyS annual report shows.
Also during 1914, FILA increased
It's holdings of Treasury bonds by a
net of $25,005 900 and for the fifth
straight year paid all its operating
expenses. In 1914 it was also de-
termined that the first dividend
payments could be made out of the
Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund
These dividends are being distrib-
uted to about $4,000 home owners
who paid off mortgages in full dur
ing 1914
Again in 1914, as in the three pre-
vious years, the FHA mainly en-
phasized provision of housing for
war workers.
Approximately $887, ,443 900 in
loans were insured under all titles
of the National Housing Act during
1914, about SIS, ,624,6 ,685 less than dur
ing 1943. The largest volume was
under Title vi, which provides
mortgage insurance for war housing.
Insurance under section SOB of this
title-one-to-four family homes
amounted to $491 ,068 ,944 and COW
cred 100000 such homes, virtually all
for war workers.
During its II years, FHA has in
sured home loans made by private
lenders amounting to more than
$4,000, 100000 of which more than
$3,500,000,00 had been repaid More
than 100000 American families
have thus been aided to buy, build
or improve homes.
Since the summer of 1910, housing
provided with FILA mortgage in
surance totaled 714.890 units-the
vast majority of which was pro-
duced for war workers who mi
grated to take jobs in war produc-
tion centers.

her delivery Of this choice number
was highly artistic. Miss Varney's
conception Of the excerpts she sang
held so much that was individual
that it is possible her vocal coloring
would match it in other surround
ings. The audience took her to its
heart, however, and evidently want
ed to hear her some more judging
from the number OF times she was
recalled after her last appearance.

33 New Arizona
Statutes
Now In Effect

Thirty-three bills enacted by the
18th Arizona legislature went into
effect last week, with four other
measures still to go into operation.
Three of the four bills include the
biennial appropriation bill, due to
go into effect July l, and the other,
relating to taxation on building and
loan associations, becomes effective
January l, 1916.
Three of the 106 bills the legisla-
ture passed were vetoed by the gov
ernor. A total of IS were emergency
bills, becoming effective upon the
governors approval.
One of the bills which has just
become effective creates the Board
of Regents of the University and
State Colleges of Arizona. Another
provides four-year terms for con-
stables and justices of the peace.
The four-term act for county and
state elective officials was referred
to the 1916 general election ballot,
because it required an amendment to
the constitution.
Most of the rest of the new laws
are administrative, or change exist
ing statutes.

cepted the route would run through
New Mexico to Ell Paso.
Commissioner j. M Smith of
Central, who objected to association
dictates as to the routing, made the
motion to leave the route along the
Coronado Trail.

Jap Balloon Offensive

japanese paper balloons which have brought
small bombs as far as Michigan, into various Western
states, Canada and Mexico, will be replaced, accord
ing to Japanese propaganda spokesmen, by "strato-
sphere balloons manned by death-defyng Japanese
pilots
The Japanese news agency, Domei, says that the
first pilotless balloon launched against the Unit
ed States on March 10th and that hundreds have been
released from Japan every day since that time 'They
are creating havoc in the enemy country declares
Colonel Shozo Nakajna, spokesman Of the Japanese
armed forces
The Japanese claim that their balloons have a
ceiling Of nearly $4,000 feet, beyond the reach of
ntercepors and take just 100 hours to reach the
United States So far, the only fatalities reported in
this country occurred when small group an out
ing handled one of the bombs which exploded killing
five persons.
The possibility exists that the Japanese, who
have developed the suicide-plane attack, may find
balloonists willing to risk the long journey to the
United States in order to drop few small bombs
The damage to be expected would be small but the
possibility exists that some balloons may reach the
United States.
Cocktail drinkers never believe that they will

related story of Japanese torture
of three B-29 crewmen who were

One of the flyers, almost naked,

showered with gasoline and burned
alive, on orders of a japanese mil

we're cremated, but whether they
were alive when the fires we're

three have been recovered.

so miles north of Hankow, was in

of his buddies. He was transferred
