HAPPY Refuses
RULING, JACKIE
ROBINSON CASE

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-Commis-
stoned A. B. CHappy) Chandler has
refused to recognize a protest from
the Negro National and American
Leagues, against the manner in
which President Branch hickey of
the Brooklyn Dodgers signed Jackie
Robinson to play for his Montreal
farm club.
They charge Hickey with piracy,
and insist that Robinson made a
verbal agreement to play with the
Monarchs in 1916, but was lured
away by the Dodgers boss.
Chandler, who was elected by or
ganized baseball and is paid by the
two major leagues, actually has no
legal authority over Negro baseball.
From Versailles, KY, Chandler said
he had received a letter of protest
from the Negro leagues, but added
that it did not constitute a bona
fide dispute for consideration by his
office. Therefore. he said, he had
no further immediate comment on
it.
1--WE are not protesting signing of
Negro players by white organized
baseball" stated DR.. J. B. Martin,
President of the Negro American
League, and Thomas T. Wilson, the
President of the Negro National cir
cult, in their letter to Chandler. I'VE
are glad to see our players get the
opportunity. We are protesting the
way it is done.
I'VE feel that the clubs of or
ganized Negro baseball, who have
gone to SO much expense to develop
players and establish teams and
leagues, should be approached
That is the only way in which we
can be assured that Negro organized
baseball can continue to operate"

WASHINGTON - There's some
thing unfair about the set-up for
disabled men who get training or
education under the veterans voca
tie nal rehabilitation program-Pub-
lie 16 1t has to do with the money
paid to an ex-service man while
training
1 think the point I have in mind
should be explained to you who
possibly are a disabled veteran, be-
cause it's to your interest to know.
Suppose we consider two disabled
ex-service men, Frank and Joe. Both
have the same kind of disability.
Beth are rated as 60 percent disabled
and draw 500 a month disability pen
sion.
Frank wants education or training
and he needs it, because he's held
by the Veterans administration to
be in need of vocational rehabilita-
ton, and is thus eligible for his
training under Public Is. He's told
he can take that or he can get 1t
under the provisions of the CT Bill
He can make the choice.
If he chooses Public Is, his pension
will be raised to $92 a month while
training If he picks the CT Bill,
he'll continue to get his $50 pension
and the government will pay him
an extra $23-total $92 1 explain
ed about that in my last article.
But Joe is declared by the Veter-
ans Administration not to be in
need of vocational training. Let's say
he was a young practicing lawyer
and he can still go on with that
profession. Thus, he isn't eligible
fer education or training under Pub
lie &c Therefore, he has no choice
to make, as Frank had.
Yet he's eligible for some train
ing under the CT Bill. SO he decides
to take son.e. What will he get
while training?
He will still get his full pension
Of 500 and he will get $50 month
While training under the CT Bill. To-
tai $l19 month!
Frank, who was eligible under both
Public 16 and the CT Bill can get
only $92 a month, whichever he
takes But Joe, eligible under only

PROJECTS FOR ALASKA

Review Of six Alaska rivers and
harbors projects has been requested
Of the Board Of Engineer for Rivers
and Harbors of the War Department
by the House Committee on Rivers
and Harbors, of which Delegate
Bartlett is a member.
The reviews will embrace hearings
at various points in Alaska by the
Army Engineers for channel across
Prince of Wales Island, improve
msnt of harbor facilities at Ketchi-
kan by the construction of a break
water with ferry landing approach,
small boat harbors for Douglas and
Homer, the widening and deepening
of Dry Pass in Southeast Alaska,
and breakwater for Kake.
This action by the committee was
possible because reports had been
made during the past years of part

the CT Bill, can draw $l19 a month.
Why is this? It's because, If you
apply for vocational rehabilitation
and are held to be in need Of it,
you're eligible for training under
either Public 16 or the CT Bill and
you can get, at NEST. only $92 per
month, regardless of which law you
choose.
But if you're disabled, but do not
apply for vocational rehabilitation,
you're eligible for training or educa-
ton under the CT Bill only. The
CT Bill education scheme pays $50
month. SO you get that $50 and
you still keep your pension. If
the pension happens to be a sub
stantial one like Jce's $50 mentioned
above, you'll draw more while train
ing than another fellow training UNI
der Public Is.

Buyers Forego Butter And Keep
Ration Points To Purchase Meat
Housewives Switch From But
ter to Oleo So They May
Get More Meat
Meat and 0leo Hard to Get As
Result of Willingness to
FOregO Butter

Meat is short and butter is
plentiful in Bluffton stores this week,
with no prospects of relief in sight
for residents of this area who now
are experiencing their first drastic
pinch in meat supplies since the
outbreak of the war.
Heretofore OPA action in a pro-
gram of steadily increasing the ra-
tion point value of meats since last
December has done little toward re-
ducing local meat buying, and in
stead has resulted in a plentiful
supply of butter which only about
one year ago was extremely hard to
obtain.
Boosting the point value of meats
had little effect in cutting down meat
consumption because most housewives
solved the problem by simply switch
ing from butter to oleomargarine
which at II points a pound requires
only half as many points as butter.
Points saved by this substitution
are used in purchasing meat, and
with local retailers restricted in the
amount of livestock that can be
slaughtered for sale here practically
all cuts are now hard to obtain.
On the other hand, plenty of but
ter is stacked in the refrigerated
counters in meat markets which
otherwise have comparatively little
to display.
In contrast to the reduced demand
for butter, oleomargarine is hard to
obtain, and on last Saturday most
of the food stores in town were
swept bare of margarine stocks un-
til they were replenished Monday
morning
With drastic cuts made in the
amount of meat that butcher shops
can sell until July l, local meat
markets are closing on Monday and
on Thursday of each week.
