This tells you how, once you've
got seat, you can get service.
The individual has the power,
says the author, and then explains
how. he should use it: through
press, lecture, radio, organization.
The book ranges from report
on Dumbarton Oaks to informa-
ton on how to write to the Presi-
dent or to your senator.

Should Robert flanagan, chairman of the

be, surely no better, sounder, safer or more
efficient successor as head of the National

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
There must be little rain
To make a rainbow.
So although we hate to see
The slow drops fall,
There never was a rainbow made Of sun
shine
And nothing else at all!
That kind is nice in theory,
But a rainbow's really terry,
And thus the morals plain:
There must be a little rain
To make rainbow,
o-who-minds-rain?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. met today TO de-
termine which will battle the de-
Tending champion, Francis o

"Pancho" Segura fought his
way into the finals in one of the
strangest matches ever witnessed
in clay courts championship play
and perhaps was saved by the
misfortune of his opponent.
He finally took the match when
third-Seeded Elwood Cooke was
overcome in the second set with
violent leg cramps and was forced
10 default MIth-the score -d-3- fer
Segura.
But before that, Cooke had
battled on almost even terms
with the champion in one of the
longest sets in national tourna-
ment play-an hour and 30 min
utes-with Segura eventually win

In the long set, each player held

succumbed to the Yankees, 5 to 4,
in twilight game at Briggs Sta

The Tiger lead over Washing

the second-place Senators took
double-header from the st. Louis
Browns last night.
Biggest twilight crowd in the
history Of the supper-time con-
tests, 81 .28S paid customers. saw
the Yankees emerge from a slump
in which they had lost eight OF
their 10 previous games to knock
off the Tigers in the first OF
four-game series.
GOOD GAME
The customers didn't see their
idVorlteS win, but they did see a
good ball game in which Stephen

ways a serious contender. AT sew
eral points in the engagement a
tiny break coul1 have changed the
general complexion Of the tilt.
Floyd Bevens. young Yankee
sophomore right-hander, was the
winning pitcher, his eighth victory
of the season as against but three
losses. Overmire, the loser, failed
IN a bid for his seventh win az
compared 10 three setbacks.
Overmire. who hurled seven and
two-thirds innin2s, yielded all OF
the New York clubs dozen hits
and five runs. A little on the 60
