Reflecting the general view
point of his colleagues, Senator
Butler tR) of Nebraska, member
of the Senate committee on terri
tories and insular affairs. said:
"It is superfluous to ask the
servicemen who are capturing
these islands what should be
done with them. They have
made IL clear that our nation
should keep the islands Ii for
no other reason than to be sure
that the blood of our finest men
will never again be spilled In
assaulting the islands to make
secure our liberties I'm some pos
sIble future war"
BASES REQUIRED
Butler pointed out that il we
had possessed adequate bases in
the Pacific. we would have been
able TO attack the japanese on
their own mainland years ago.
He further suggested that the
United States needed a complete
circle of bases. both in the Allan
tic and the Pacific, for national
security. He said:
These will constitute, inso-
far as We can make them, an
impentrable barrier against any
future aggressor. Realizing the
devastating ruin which may be
heaped upon populations In the
new air age through bombing, it
Is essential for us TO establish
some kind Of real control over
every piece Of island territory
near our shores.
In recognition of the growing
opposition TO any form OF postwar
international trusteeship for cap
tured Pacific islands or other ter
ritory essential TO American de-
fense,T Ret. Delaney Cd of New

Chicago and Detroit take dead
aim on a slice of world series
dough today as the two league
leaders enter important series
with the 1945 fall classic virtu-
ally assured by the Jap surrend-
er.
Although there Is little doubt
now that a series will be play
ed, both the Cubs and Tigers
face high hurdles IN their flag
drives. Among the unpredicf-
able factors is the amount OF
help to be expected from re-
turning servicemen.
Exact details of the army and
navy planes for releasing veter-
ans have yet TO be announced
but it is assumed baseball VIII
receive its share of former play
ers in the certain cutbacks.
Just as the return of Hank
Greenberg to Detroit and Bud
dy Lewis to Washington have
been vital factors in the Amer
lean League chase, the discharge
of a Bobby Teller, Joe Dimag-
gio or Joe Gordon could up
set the applicant.
The Cubs may face some real
trouble in Brooklyn where the
st. Louis Cardinals just took
three out of four in a bitterly
fought series. After dropping the
finale in Philadelphia last night,
