Hundreds Brave
Bitter Cold To
Watch Tits

Wyandote's newly formed hockey
league got off to a flynn start last
Saturday night before hundreds OF
fans who braved snow and bitter
cold to witness three of the finest
puck tits this city has seen. Pre-
dominant among the six teams en-
ployed were many ex-Servicemen,
proving that the returning veterans
seek action In the fled of sports
to take the pace of the fury OF
warfare. The presence of so
many ex-soldiers, sailors and mar
ines is the sureSt indication that
from now on, sports activities are
going to boom in Wyandotte," Ben
Yack. Recreation Director told this
correspondent. They've just got to
have something to take the edge
off of the sudden inactivity Of re-
turning to civilian life.
Most lopsided game of the eve
ming resulted in 1872 victory for
the Hornets, team composed en-
tirely of veterans who have pushed
the puck around together for near
" ten years. Swimming across the
ice with professional precision, the
Hornets jumped off to a 10 ad-
vantage in the first two minutes
OF play. From then on, the quin-
tet was entirely in a class by itself
as Bruin goalie Bolgeir watched
the puck sail into his net II more
times. The Bruins rallied late in
the final period to push two goals
by the almost invincible Hornet
net tender, Wilson.
The Hawks also had an easy time
OF it as they swept six goals into
the net of Crosse lie, while the
best the Islanders could garner were
two.
In the only other game scheduled
the Maroons won by forfeit when
three Rams players failed to show
up for the tilt.
Games are played twice weekly
at Bishop Park. starting at 7 and
$50. The rink, built on the NUM-
cipal tennis courts, is reputed to
be one of the finest in the area.

 The nine countries which are meeting their commitments are United States, Australia. Canada Great Britain, Brazil, New Zealand Costa Rica, Panama and Iceland Byrd said.

|JopP Problem: l: Like Nozis'
BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press War Analyst

Japan today finds herself in s situation not greatly unlike that oi Germany just before D-day in June. 1914. Her only hope of salvation lies not in her own force, but in a rift between the united nations more specifically rift between the United States and Soviet Russia, and most specifically rift between them over the two rival regimes in China.
 When Germany felt the squeeze from three sides, she waged final high-pressure diplomatic and propa- ganda campaign to split the Allies. Japan is at that point today.
 Militarily, Japan's chances of victory in this war seem today to be infinitely less than her chances of providing that political rift be- tween the united nations.
 Speculation Rife
 The lack of any concrete an- nouncement after the recent con- versations in Moscow between Premiers Stalin and Soong left the way open for speculation on their possible disagreement on a fusion of the rival Chungking and Yenan regimes of China.
 True, the door was left open when the Moscow conversations broke up but there is no reason to believe

 MT. Truman, speaking against the backdrop of the historic Big Three confer ence, said we "do not want a single piece of territory from this war. We just want peace and prosperity-that is what we are fighting for, and that is what we propose to win. " Leaders Present
 Truman was flanked by the Am erican chieftains who took leading roles in the defeat of Germany Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Sec- retary of War Henry L. Stimson, Gen. Omar N. Bradley and Gen. George S. Patton, whose presence in Berlin for the Big Three con- ference was revealed for the first time.
 The flag raised at 2 p. m. over U. S. group control council head quarters in a former air defense barracks in the Dahlem suburb was the one lifted over Algiers and Rome. It fluttered over the capital when 8 state of war with Germany, Italy and Japan was declared.

Winthrop, Mass, July 20-(UP)- This is a fish story to end all fish stories-the capture of a hideous denizen of the deep that may have been common 20,0oo,000 years ago.
 It's told by Boston Harbor Histor- ian Edward Rowe Snow who caught the 81-pound monster on a hand line and hook. He has pictures to prove that his story was no night mare. But for while yesterday he thought he'd stepped off into the Host world"
 Horrible Sight
 Seems that Snow and his 13-year- old neighbor Edward Freeman of Winthrop. went fishing off Point Shirley in a 17-foot canoe. Visibility was poor but the fog was lifting. They anchored about two miles off shore and dropped their lines over the side in 50 feet of water.
 After a while, Snow started to pull his line up. It seemed to be stuck. Freeman lifted the anchor, hoping the canoe would drift around and help free the line. NO luck.

Tobacco Crop Domoqed
By United Pres

Connecticut's tobacco crop has been damaged by recent rains and high humidity, growers and ex- perts said today.
 Field work was put back by the heavy rains, while the dampness threatened plants with mold and downey mildew. Some plants have been lost after rainsoaked soil killed the roots and many plants have been knocked over several times. Topping" of plants has been pushed back to the time when the first picking should be under way.
 Workers Affected
 According to Ralph c. L.asbury. Jr., director for the Shade Tobac- co Growers Agricultural associ- ation, the weather also has been bad for the morale of workers. "They can't work among the wet stalks, and less work means less pay. They were brought here by the growers after much planning and difficulties and the provision for camp setups, but when they can't make a satisfactory weeks pay they are likely to turn to some other job"

 In Spain

Madrid, July 20.-CUP)-A sween- ing reorganization of the Spanish government was reported imminent :oday in an apparent move by Gen. Francisco Franco to brak the Fa- lange and smooth Spain's way back intot he good graces of the United Nations.
 Authoritative sources said ranco might announce the shakeup today and that it definitely would be made public within thre or four days.
 Purge Cabinet
 These informants said only four members of the Falangist cabinet would survive the purge-the nlin- ister of labor, finance. education and interior. Even these hold- overs reported were tob retained only because Franco feared too sharp 6 break with the Falange might arouse popular resentment.
 Chief victim of the cleanout was expected to be Jose Luis Arrese, ninistr without portfolio and sc- retary-general of the Falangist party, whose two posts were slated to be eliminated completely.
 Foreign Minister
 Alebto Martin Artajo, 40-year old president of the Catholic Action party and an eminent jurist, was believed to be in line for the foreign ministry.
 The reorganization as reported in Madrid quarters would give Spain a S1Ser-rightist government and would obviously be step toward the restoration of the monarch, whchi Franco announced Tuesday as one of his ultimate aims.
