 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON SERWcEMEN's PRoBleMS
By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, July 9-Here are some general questions from CTS and veterans of World War II:
 Q. My nephew was discharged from the Army because of injury to his eyes which resulted from an explosion. As Army doctors feared he is going blind. What are the provisions for furnishing a seeing eye dog to blind veterans? A. Veterans blinded as a result of service are entitled to Seeing-eye dogs, including travel expenses to and from their homes and expenses incurred in becoming adjusted to such dogs, as well as necessary mechanical and electronic equip- ment for aiding them in overcom- ing the handicap of blindness.
 Q. My son was killed in Italy last winter and buried in a cemetery there. My neighbor tells me there has been . law passed which pro- vides for bringing his body back to this country for burial if I re- quest it. Is that true?
 A. That law has not been passed. If the government follows the same procedure as 1t did after the World War I, however, the remains of your son will be returned to the U. s. at your request. This, of course. will be later, when trans portation is available.
 Q. The nearest office of Veterans Administration is several hundred miles away from where I live. Where would you suggest is the next best place to get advice about veterans matters? I have many of my own and am trying to help advise several other vets in my com munity.
 A. Your local draft board will probably answer most of your ques- tions and refer you to the proper authority, or the local ofiice of the United States Employment Service usually has veteran expert to give advice on such matters. You will probably find one of these two of- fees closer to your home.

NEW YORK, March IL Up -
Organized baseball has done little
in an organized way to promote
an active, playing interest in the
game by the younger generation,
SO it is only natural that private
enterprise is stepping in to try to
assure future crop of diamond
athletes and baseball-wise fans.
Right now, two such movements
one local and the other on a ma.
tional scale, are being developed.
The local promotion is that of the
Chicago Daily News, which has ar
ranged with Rogers Hornsby for a
city-wide and summer-long series
OF baseball schools for boys which
it is hoped will lure 100000 young.
sters.
The most ambitious program is
the brain child of Ray Dumont
the semi-p-o maestro who is fam.
GUS for his wacky innovations but
through whose buzzing bean runs
a solid strain of common sense
Dumont has set March 81 as a
Nationwide registration day fol-
all kids u years of age or older
who want to play baseball. The
registration will be conducted
through all sporting goods stores
which will provide the informa.
ton as to how the registrants will
be placed on teams.
Dumont estimates about 100000
youngsters will sign up, after which
the lists will be turned over te
the governing bodies of baseball
in each section (junior, amateur
and semi-pro) for the lining ur
of teams.
Most young chaps want chance
to play but don't know how to &c
about finding a team" Dumonr
explains. This plan gives all who
want to play the opportunity"

The Sports Trail
Priuate Interests Step
hToPr0m0te Baseball

Although naturally there is the
shadow of selfish motive behind
Dumont's plan, as the more play
ers there are the more teams there
will be and the more teams there
are the greater the expansion of
his semi-pro program, he also is
motivated by the need of such an
undertaking to promote and in
crease active interest in baseball
in general on the part Of the kids
who will be the players and fans
five, 10 and Is years from now.
Organized professional ball has
talked of similar plans on occa-
sion, but that's as far as it got
and the promotion of youthful in
terest was left to individual clubs,
which sprinkled their scouts here
and there to conduct schools for
the primary purpose of uncovering
promising youngsters for work on
the farms. Baseball farms, that is.
Other towns than Chicago have
programs intended to promote in
terest OF the youngsters in the
game through team organization
and instruction, often enlisting old
time pro players as teachers.
But to our knowledge Dumont is
the first to attempt a national Or
ganization, and he could not have
chosen a better time. With most
of the minor leagues temporarily
in eclipse because of the war there
is tendency for interest to lag.
Active participation would seem
to be the best way to offset this
tendency, and Dumont's plan, as
well as that of the Daily News,
the American Legion and ESQUIRE
magazine and organizations in 9TH
er cities which are attempting
similar work, can do much to as
sure a bumper crop of future play
ers and an interest that will keep
baseball in its place as the ma
| tional game.
