Shapiro Once Wanted
a Baseball Career t.
BY BOB MURPHY

Not many young men would
abandon a promising b e b Ia,
career TO engage in the more pre-
carious occupation of scrambling
ears, but Make Shapiro. New
York lightweight. is one who did.
When Make was a student at
Seward High School on New
York's east side he was the star
shortstop of the baseball team.
Big league scouts gave him the
once over, and Make accepted an
Invitation from the New York
Giants TO take tryout.
Bill Terry who then was the
Giant manager, gave Make some
encouragement. He was on, the
verge of becoming a professional
ball player with an ambition to-
initiate the deeds and more par
tucularly TO acquire the earning
power of Hank Greehbefg.
But Shapiro. like Greenberg, Is
young man who looks the facts
! in the face.

Gen. Macarthur, who has not re-

Whether his visit would coincide

Gen. H. H. Arnold, chief of the
Army Air Forces, said here tonight
that rehabilitation of the Air Forces
is being stepped up with the hope
of completing discharge by next
June of all personnel not needed for
overseas duty.
II am not sure we will attain that
goal, but the release of men will
proceed as rapidly as possible and
at a constantly increasing rate" he
said in an interview. But it is a
question of capacity rather than de-
sire The rate of discharge will be
limited only by the capacity for
separating men from the service"
Permanent strength of the AAF
will depend upon the decision of
Congress as to the size and char
acter of the future military organi-
cation of the country, Gen. Arnold
