Evening star., 1945-04-03
by Joseph w. Frazer

But our postwar automobile is only part Of
the story we have to tell.
We are going to manufacture an entirely
new line of modern farm equipment, including
a general purpose tractor with several basic
and exclusive advantages that will save time,
labor and operating costs.
We will make and sell the Rototiler, whose
potentialities have been noted and acclaimed in
the press of the nation. This machine does the
work of plow, disc and harrow in one operation
and does it better than all three combined! It
promises to revolutionize both small acreage
and large-scale farming methods
We will offer three separate franchises for
our dealers and distributors. One will be for the
automobile, one for Rototiler, and one for our
general farm equipment, including tractors.
Only in special cases will the same dealer or
distributor handle all three.
Yes, the future holds great promise for
Graham Paige dealers and distributors, and for
the public who will use the products they sell.
More than ever, from now on, it will pay to
keep watching the news from Graham-P Paige"

Braves TO Try Out Gould,
Western HurIinq Star

Gems Gould, s;;;:i;ahcT bail specialist
who hurled Western to the inter-

Manager Bob Coleman's inspection.
He'll workout with the National
Leaguers after school hours.

with two of his staff ailing, but is
satisfied he's found one definite
starter in Southpaw Jimmy Wallace,
who yesterday allowed only one hit
in six innings as the Braves blanked
the Quantico Marines, TO, at Guam
tico. Not as steady was Johnny
Hutchings. touted as the opening
game starter, who was nicked for
six hits in his three-inning turn.
Tom Nelson, making his exhibit
ton game debut, poled three hits
and played flawlessly afleld. Mean
while, x-ray reports showed AL
Javery, counted on as starting
pitcher, has torn ligaaents in his
arm that may keep him idle several
weeks, and that Nate Andrews, an

Nazi Town, Garrison,

BY the Associated Press.

WITH THE UNITED STATES
7th ARMY, April 3.-The American
7th Army ordered the fanatical Ger
man garrison of Aschaffenburg an
initiated and the neavly fortified
city wiped of the map as 1t. Gen.
Alexander M. Patch's troops lunged
eastward through Germany into
Bavaria.
The grim task, ordered by the
Allied command as an example to
all Germans, was assigned to the
Thunderbird infantry of the 45th
Division and the Thunderbolt pilots
Of the lst Tactical Air Force. Already
the town, in which teen-age girls
are fighting alongside Germ n
troops, Is a heap OF smoking rubble.
The Thunderbolts interrupted a
five-day assault on the stubborn city
yesterday to ask the ground COM
manders if they wanted the bonn
bardment to continue.
Back went the order to keep up
the assault as long as the Germans
continued to fire on American SOL
diers working their way into the
area used by the Wehrmacht as a
battle indoctrination school for
young Nazis during the long prepa-
ration for this war.
Last night the 157th Infantry
Regiment was fighting inside the
town. Other elements of the 45th
Division had cleared Schweinheim
on the southeastern outskirts and
captured Haibach and Strassbeseen-
bach, about 3 miles due east.
Troops of the 7th Army teamed
up with soldiers from 1t. Gen.
George S. Patton's Sd Army to lib
crate 1000 Allied soldiers-half of
them Americans-from a German
camp near Aschaffenburg and drove
farther east with renewed vigor on
reports that $4,000 more Allied cap
tives were being held by the Nazis
/ in q wooded area nearby.

Ruth, Big sling Arbiter,
Swaps Threats With Loser

in straight falls to Leo Numa, 220,
Seattle. was the Bambino's foil. He
played rough-the Babe disqualified
him in the first fall-and threatened
to poke the Sultan Of Swat. But the
Babe cooked his left, roared Nigh
tily at Cortez, and the grappler
thought better Of it.
"You never know" Ruth reflect
ed afterward, when one Of those
guys is going to take a sock at you. "
Babe told the Boston sportswrit-
ers yesterday that it was the lure of
the crowd-not the money-that
brought him into the wrestling
game.
If so, he must have been salts
fed. The crowd yelled, howled and
screamed encouragement and ad-
vice. Fans trooped to his dressing
room and between falls dozens of
kids climbed into the ring to get
his autograph.

PORTLAND, Me-, April 3.-As a
wrestling referee, George Herman
Ruth did nobly last night. Some
1880 Portland fans seemed to think
so, and the Bambino allowed that
he enjoyed the match-"what there
was Of it,"
The erstwhile home run king
worked" only % minutes, in which
he reckoned that he must have lost
four pounds.
The 51-year-old Babe, who is 60

tails around Boston today and do a
second stint of refereeing in the
Hub tomorrow night, was sweating
freely when he climbed down from
the mat.

remarked.

Hundreds of automobile
dealers and distributors in
America have written me

about franchises for our postwar automobile.
Others also have inquired about handling our
new farm tractors, Rototillers, and our general
line of farm equipment. So I am addressing
these remarks particularly to the men who bring
such products to the public.
For years have enjoyed a close personal
contact with my dealer and distributor organi-
cations. Today am proud to share with them
our plans for the future-plans that will mean
much to every man who has stake in the sale
of automobiles and farm equipment.
The automobile we will build, as soon as
the Army and Navy tell us our war jobs are
finished, will make automotive history. It will
be new from the ground up-not a revamp of a
; AZ model. 1t will employ new engineering
principles that will result in greater comfort
economy, roadability, ease of handling.
1t will make use of new materials, new
structural devices, new distributions of mass
and load. These will mean lighter weight, more
efficient application of power, greater strength,
greater stability, greater safety.
1t will seat six passengers in comfort, and
achieve style, beauty, roominess and utility
never before equalled. Yet it will conform to
conventional body lines in such way as to
achieve unquestioned elegance.

Waterbury ChdtterS

It was cold in Waterbury this morning!
 The man or the house leaving for work found his car sluggish and difficult to start. The pet dog let out the backdoor didn't stay long before scratching to get back in. People, waiting on street corners for the early morning buses, hopped from one foot to the other and slap ped their hands together while com menting. with frost coated breaths, to their neighbors arOu5 the wealth CT. Shoppers and people on business in the downtown streets hurried along briskly to keep their circula- tionS stimulated. Cars froze and poured boiling steam from their fronts and what snow is left crunch- ed under the heels of pedestrians.
 Low for the day was 10 degrees above zero at a. m. with the high of the last 24 hours being 20 de- grees at ? p. m, yesterday, At 12;45 today it was back up to 20 aoove, but brisk wind managed to sneak between heavy coats and mufflers to chill Waterburians.
 Sure proof 1t is cold was that Off, ficer Joe Sullivan at Grand and Bank streets made up his mind to dig up. out of the mot.l-balls, his faithful furA covered ear laps.

 A c. L. and P. spokesman at tempted to dispel the publicized danger of all those breaks" by say ing that there are many such occur rences that never reach the atten- tion of the public.
 Elmer c. NuesSe, associate en- gineer of the State Public Utilities Commission, who is conducting an investigation into the Seminole ave- nue explosion, said that his report of findings would be placed in the hands of the PUG probably within 30 days"

$5O,OOO Demanded

Chelsea. Mass, Dzc. .2. -CUP)- A demand for $30,00O ransom was made today in the 18th mysterious telephone call received by the par ents of kidnapped Ronald Carlan, but police attributed the call to a crank.

 This is a $30,000 ransom note The baby is all right You will be contacted with further details
 There was no explanation of the use of the word note. The Car lans have received nothing in writ ing regarding ransom demand since their 6-month-old son was stolen from his unattended car r;age two weeks ago. Police said the fainily's moderate circumstances made this latest ransom demand ab- surd.
 In previous calls vague ransom demands had been made and the caller threatened to return the ooby fin box.
