the benediction: well done, my good and faithful servant" He wore his captains silver bars, quietly but proudly, for he had done his work well. Remember, if yoa will, he gave up $50,000 6 year as a Detroit base- ball player, to ENLIST in the armed forces of his country ct war with two of the greatest international en.Ilies that have ever blighted the earth.
 He could very easily have stall ed" had trick or two done with his blood pressure, heart or eyes, such as some w:althy but coward ly individuals have done to DUCK THE DRAFT. But, $50,000 Q year to the contrary notwithstanding, he had no trouble seeing his DUTY and DOING IT.
 Captain Hank came to Water. bury one day. He came in quietly, went out the same way. Stayed but e few hours, and then off to Hartford. where he visited anoth- CT war plant, to "pep up" the men and women working there by his words or presence, so that they would "stay on the joh'', get the vital war orders out on time, and reduce or eliminate the great ef1. emy from within-ABSENTEE- ISM.
 Personally, was most happy to see him and talk with him, for, after all. he was a national cel- ebrity in the world of sports. As guests of the U. s. Time Corpora ton; with Jack H:nry and Steve O,Brien in charge of the party; we had lunch, then went to the Middlebury plant, where Green berg was introduced to the "big shots" but he wanted to get to the workers, the people who were put ting out the work; wanted to see how they did 1t, and tell them, as often as possible $to stay on the job every day possible until the war was over.
 He was in the CBI war theater, too, and his morale building with the c. l. JoeS in China, India and Burma was invaluable; for oreen- berg is a friendly. intelligent man, who had orders to carry out and never stopped doing just that; never losing sight of his objec. tive, as ordered by his ranking of- 5icers.
 Baseball? I tried to get him to talk baseball. Was he going back to the Tigers, after the war; Here was his answer, as honest and direct as any sports reporter will ever get. He said: T don't want to talk about baseball just now, because I've got a MORE IMPORTANT JOB to do, anI until that Is finished, and the Army has no further use for me, I'm in there to do what l can" That, from c man who gave lip Q 960,000 job ct the game he loves, gave it up quicker than he could write his name, once he realized the Army Air Forces had . place for him.
 This minute, he stands on the threShold of World Series fame. Re. member his grand slam" homer last week and his three-run homer yest:rday9
 May he live to tell his grandchil- dren, how he got those home runs

Yanks and Reds TO Quit
CzechosIoyakia This Month

The United States and Russia
plan to Withdraw their forces from
Czechoslovakia by December l, the
State Department announced last
night.
The announcement said continued
presence of the troops, no longer
needed to guard against 'Nazi depre-
dations,' undoubtedly would consti-
tute a drain on Czechoslovak econ
omy and delay rehabilitation.
During the last stages of the war
In Europe the Russian and Amer
ican forces moved into the country
to mop up German troops isolated
there. A small part Of Western
Bohemia was occupied by the
Americans.
President Eduard Benes and his
government, which had functioned
in exile during the war, moved in
behind the Russian Army and have
re-established the Czechoslovak
police force and army to maintain
order.

Boost Production

Previous production records for
various major crops and products
have been broken again and again.
Hybrid corn enabled the Corn Belt
in 1913 to equal its aI-time produc-
ton record, made in 1920-but with
6h million fewer acres devoted to
the crop. The release Of 8 million
r from corn helped to make
for scientifca bred soy
beans, and our production Of this
crop has increased from TIA
million bushels in 1910 to 194A mil
lions in 1913. . Cotton yields are
at an aI-time high-around $50
pounds per acre. The use Of i'm
proved varieties Of wheat and other
small grains has enabled these crops
to escape diseases that formerly
decimated them whenever weather
conditions were right for the rapid
spread and growth of the deadly
disease spores. We have jumped
peanut production to amounts hither-
to unheard Of in this country. Egg
production per hen has risen with
great rapidity in recent years. Hog
slaughter in 1913 was AZ per cent
greater than the 1874 average.
