their protests against the official scorers who charged Greenberg with an error in the 18th inning of yes- terday's game, permitting the Cubs to win, 8 to 2, and squaring the series at three games apiece.
 The various writers, assembled here to cover baseball's storied class kicked" so vehemently, that the three official scorers reversed their decision, cleansing Greenberg s hands.
 The questionable play came in the last half of the 18th inning with the Cubs at bat and the score tied. Pinch runer Billy Schuster was on first base when Stan Hack rifled single tot left field. The ball took crazy bounce, jumping over Greenberg's $ head and rolling to the left field wall about 365 feet from home plate as Schuster scampered home with the "big" run-the game winner and the one that gave the Cubs ticket into the final game tomorrow.
 The official scoring trio, members of the Baseball Writers Associa- ton, credited Hack with single at the time and charged "the Green berg boy" with two-base error.
 Thus the handsome, Bronx-born slugger, whose big bat gave the Tigers the American League pen- nant, was marked down as a "bum,' the guy who permitted the Cubs an- other chance at the world series title.
 Pressure
 But five hours after the game, in world series headquarters, the storm broke as one after another of the sportswriters to'g their fellow crafts men, who are serving as official scorers, that 1t was an unjust de- cision because Greenberg never had chance at the crazy, skipping ball. The official threesome, Chief scorer Martin J. Haley of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Harry c. Salsinger of the Detroit News and Edward Burns of the Chicago Tribune, re. versed their stand.
 Tn erasing the blot, Haley said the scorers had unanimously agreed that the ball took a bad hop" and Greenberg was guiltness.
 We are reversing our original rul- ing of a single and an error and giving Hack a double" Haley said "plus a run-batted-in for Hack and

Loafers and Hoarders

The Mead Committee has made public glaring examples of loafing on the job and labor hoarding.
 Stories of similar nature from unof- ficial sources have long been common knowledge Private citizens can recount from their own experience, disgraceful examples of deliberate loafing on war jobs. Many conscientious workers have quit war jobs because they could not stand the waste of time they were re- quired to endure.
 The answer to criticism of labor loaf ing and labor boarding is always, "We have produced the goods" That may be true, but at what a price! How much more could have been produced other wise! We have now reached the point where both money and man-hours are growing scarcer. Let us hope that if the Mead Committee is not able to penalize or punish labor loafers or labor hoard CTS, that revelations which it can make will arouse the nation and shame the of- lenders into a correction of their ways

Nebraska Swallows the Bait

Starting with the new year, Nebraska became the first state in the union to favor total socialization of one of it's greatest industries-electric power de- velopment.
 The ironical part of the plan to "liqui- date" the privately Nebraska Power Company, is the fact that it's sale was forced by Federal laws and Federal agency, but promoters of the deal got fat profit" for destroying profitable, taxpaying industry
 If the people of Nebraska want social ized industries, they have made good start. The public electric plant will pay no Federal taxes, and will probably be exempted from much of the tax it previ-

To Be Continued

All devoteeS of radio soap operas are familiar with the cliff-hanger though they may not identify it by name. A cliff-hanger is a type of serial story in which each chapter ends with one or more principal characters in dire peril. It is simple, effective technique that always assures the author of an audience for the next inStalment. This same tech- nique is apparent in the Crimean Con- ference report. And the result is perhaps the top cliff-hanger in diplomatic his tory. The authors swiftly disposed of couple of vexing problems left over from the last episode, then shaped their plot so that not one, but three of the leading players in the world drama were left dangling from a precipice. In conse- quence, the global audience is now sitting on the edge of it's seats and biting it's nails in anticipation of the next chapter, on April 25. But Hitler, one of the dangling players, can't even be sure of the date when he will be disposed of. He must just hang and wait for that powerful blow" from the north which the Crimean Script-Writers added to those from the east, west and south, promised him at Teheran and since delivered.
 The other two characters involved can wait till the April episode. One of them is Japan, who will know by that date, or perhaps on it, whether her neutrality pact with Russia automatically contin- ueS, or whether the SoVietS are to join the forces already arrayed against her. The other one is the heroine of the whole drama, World Peace. The fate of World Peace rests with decision reached at Yalta, after being by-passed at Dunbar ton Oaks, but dramatically withheld by the authors of the report. The decision is on voting procedure in the proposed international security organization. There are three evident voting procedures by which the security council of five per- manent and six elected members could determine the aggresSor in any breach ot the peace. One is Russia's proposal of a unanimous verdict. The second is the American proposal that council members of nations involved in the dispute refrain from voting. A third choice would be simple majority decision.
 If the Russian plan were adopted, et- fective maintenance of peace would seem to be doomed. Naturally an accused na- ton represented on the council would not vote against itself. And without unanimous agreement on the aggressor (which the Soviet delegates at Dunbar ton Oaks held out for) the world organ ization would be powerless to act in an outbreak of war. All this is surely eVi- dent to Russia And judging from the reciprocal compromise, general agree ment and spirit of amity reflected in the Crimean report, Marshal Stalin was not in the mood to undo all this good work by insisting on the impossible. So let us await the next instalment hopefully as well as anXiously.

An Appeal For Veterans

In the last war; some 10 per cent of all American forces became disabled It has been estimated that in the present war that percentage may be doubled. The principal reasons for the expected increase are the gerater deStructiveness of modern war, and the improvement in surgery and medicine that today is saving many more wounded men from death.
 The country is conscious of it's responsi- bility to these disabled men and, through it's lawmakers, has made provision for them to be compensated and cared for on their return. But there are inevitable complications in obtaining this care and compensation, and often later difficult ties, which tend to confuse and diScour- age some of these veterans.
 This was more true after the last war than it is now AS a result, a group of returned soldiers organized the Disabled American Veterans in 1920. Their pur- pose was "to secure fair and just compen- sation, adequate and sympathetic care, and honest and profitable employment for those who are employable."
 One of the DAVIS chief contributions during the peacetime years was in pre- senting and prosecuting veterans claims, free of charge. That service is now ex- banding, and will continue to grow. But the DAVIS work does not end there. It follows through on cases after claims are disposed of and disqualification ended.
 It helps to rehabilitate any disabled veteran who applies for assistance, whether DAV member or not. Its care extends through the veterans life-and beyond it, in the assistance it gives his dependents.
 Congress has authorized the Veterans Administration to secure all aid 1t can III carrying the huge load of work that this war is bringing. One of the sources to which the Veterans Administration is turning is the DAV. The two groups are cooperating in the training of 400 dis abled veterans of World War II to serve as full-time DAV national service officers.
 A million dollars of government funds has been appropriated to help meet the cost of this training program, which con- siStS of five months special college ln- struction and 18 months of on-the-Job placement training in various veterans facilities throughout the country.
 But $10,000,000 is needed to meet the modest salaries of these 400 additional workers over the next 10 years So the DAV, after financing it's own work for 70 years, is making it's first national appeal for funds. The QrlVc IS enQOISeu ny d1l imposing list of eminent men, including high military officers and the governors of 35 states.
 This campaign is 'entilted to full sup port of every citizen," as the Veterans Administrator, Brig,Gen. Frank T. Hines, has said. The DAV, chartered by Congress, non-poltical, self-effacing and, until now, self-supporting, may be trusted to help carry out a nations minimum guarantee that those who have fought and bled for it shall not be forgotten and neglected

Views Of The Press

these receivers, keyed for reception in the frequencies now allocated to television, would be altogether worthless for reception of the im- proved television in the ultra high frequencies when this gets under way. If the public should be gullible enough to invest millions of dollars in such receivers, then the change over to the superior system of tele- vision, when it becomes feasible, would be extremely painful, perhaps impossible. The EGG might well have been more explicit on this score.
 When 1t was talking about fre- quency meditation, the commission declared that Public interest re- quires that FM be established in 8 permanent place in the radio spec trum before a considerable invest ment is made by the listening pub- lie in receiving sets and by the broadcasters in transmitting equip ment."

TELEvIsION's FUTURE
Washington Post)

The Federal Communications Commission has issued what amounts to 8 caveat emptor warning in con- nection with it's proposed allocation of spectrum space to television broadcasting. There has been bit- ter controversy in the industry be- tween those who wish to promote the sale of televiSion receiving sets as soon as materials become avail able and those who would like to postpone commercial exploitation until superior technique for broad casting can be perfected. In Its pres ent place in the spectrum, television can operate in bands no more than six megacycleS wide, permitting a picture of only 525 lines. In the ul- tra-high frequencies, which the EGG has designated for experimental television, much wider bands would be available to make possible pie lures of far greater clarity, depth and detail.
 What the commissions findings in its allocations report boil down to is flat warning that better televi- sion is around the corner. Prospec- tive buyers of television receivers should take note. Yet tn, commits sion has authorized commercial tele- vision to go ahead on l2 six-mega- cycle channels assigned to 1t in the lower frequencies. The danger in- he-ent in this policy was made evil dent at once in talk delivered be- fore the Washington Advertising Club last week by T. F. Joyce of the Radio Corporation of America, g manufacturer of receivers. Mr. Joyce predicted the television industry would become a billion-and-a-h half dollar business in terms of retail pricing at the end of the fifth full television year.

 After one member of the U. &. High Command returned from Yalta, officers surrounded him to ask when the Big Three" thought the war would be over in Europe.
 Listen," replied the returned staff officer, lin the last war, I knew Marshal FOch'S chauf- feur and he told me he was constantly being asked the same question. Every place he drove FOch, people asked if FOch had told him when the war would be over. He always said he didn't know.
 "One day he was driving the Marshal toward the front thinking how when he returned everyone would be asking him if he knew when the war would be over. Just then, FOch reach ed, over from the front seat and asked.

 "COnfidentially," con cIuded the staff officer, that's what all our men asked each other at Yalta."

was the date when the Allies land ed in Normandy. July 19 was the St. Lo break-through, when General Patton started his dash for Paris. Three days after the break-through, the Bank was founded.
 CALLABORATIONIST BANK
 The group which put up capital for the Bank included some inter- esting Germans and collaboration ists, suspected of wantnig to get their money out of reach of the de Gaulle government. The found- CTS were:
 l. J. E. Charles, German resident of Monte Carlo.
 2. August T. Gausebeck, an- other German banker, formerly living at 50 Broadway, N. Y, C., suspected of handling Nazi funds in the U. s. A., and deported from New York in May 1942. Be- fore the U. s. break with Ger many, he apparently kne wit was coming and transferred much of his property to Argentina. The rest has been seized by the Alien Property Custodian.
 3. Guillaume Charles Le Ces- ne, French banker, who before the war was associated with a company making electric storage batteries. During the war he con- tinued with this company, the batteries being important to the war and being sold to Germany.
 4. Florence La Gaze Gould, born in San Francisco of French parents, former actress and third wife of Frank Gould. She is Vice. President of "S Se a B athS" at Juan = les Pins, Director in ''Lunchs ct Glaciers,' a catering company, and in various winter and summer resort companies.
 Another interesting date in the history of the Charles Bank falls on Aug. B, 1944, when it increased it capital from 80 million to 150 million francs. August B was just eight days
 after General Patch ladnde with an American Army along the French Riviera, near Monte

A good deal of guessing is being done about the stock market. Will it have boom, or will it "go bust?" According to gambling history it may go in both of those directions. The stock market IS founded on good intentions as place where investors may buy shares and draw dividends. All goes well for time, until as in the early 193Os the investors are carried down in boom gambling specula- tive markets that drop halfway out or sight in a few days, or weeks. That's why the uninitiated investor" should watch his step and keep clear of the Stock market.
