HAYNES ONE
 HITTER SETS BACK TIGERS
Only 28 Hiffers Face Chisox Moundsmdn in Best Per-
 formdnce 10 Date
By Jack Hand Associated Press Sports Writer)


 Joe Haynes owned the best pitched game of the infant Am erican League season today; one hit job against Detroit that eased Manager Jimmy Dykes worries about Bill Dietrich's sore arm.
 It took a single. over second base in the third inning by Skeeter Webb. who was traded to Detroit by Chicago last winter, to spoil a no-hit bid by the 27year-old veteran of seven big league seasons.
 Only 23 Tiger batters faced Haynes yesterday as he tossed the 50 shutout that spoiled the Ben gals first place drive.
 Roy Schalk drove home three of Chicago's scores with a triple and single as the Sox knocked out starter Walter Wilson, recruit from Buffalo. Les Mueller, a dis charged serviceman, allowed one hit in four relief innings but the damage was done.
 Skeeter Newsome was the big gun in Bostons attack as the Red Sox squeezed past Washington, 5-4, for their fourth straight after losing their first eight games.
 Rain forced postponement until tonight of the scheduled game in St. Louis where Commissioner A. B. Happy Chandler was scheduled to assist in raising the Browns first pennant in A years. All other games also were postponed.

 NEAT PREMIUM

NEW YORK, May 2-Golf balls have risen in value so much on the black market this spring that one pre-war vintage sells for as much as nine times it's weight in silver. A golf ball that sold for one dollar before Pearl Harbor recently cost 10 when two members of swank Long Island club visited a black market wholesaler.
 Established manufacturers, re- tailers and club pros are all ask ing legitimate prices for their wares, but despite their pleas that an old ball be turned in for re- processing whenever a new one is purchased, it is doubtful that sup plies will last out the season.

NEW YORK, May 2-The Greens boro Club of the newly organized Carolina League claims to have the oldest rookie in organized baseball in Pitcher Ossie Buckner, who will be 34 on June 30. Couldn't Happy Chandler put in a claim for that title?. To prevent false starts at track meets, It. (j.gD Ralph F. Ward of the Iowa Pre- Flight School proposes that the starter should stand behind the runners so he can detect the pre- liminary moves. They did even better at the Penn Relays when the starter climbed to the top of a tower used by the finish-line judges before firing the gun for Gunder Haeggs handicap race. ...

ALEUT,S AT HOME AGAIN
 ON ISL A N D
Taken Back 10 Places from Where Evdludfed When
 Raids Were Started
By Olen Clements Associated Press War Correspondent

UNALASKA Alaska, April 2S- Delayed Home tonight out here on the ragged edge of the world are the Aleuts, the only North Am ericans forced to flee their homes by the Pacific war.
 Gone three years, they came back today, their Oriental stoicism unbrcken by the sight of rundown houses dilapidated by foul weather and the ever-hungry souvenir hunters.
 One by one, as if they had never been away, 120 of them came down the gangplank of an Army trans port. They stared into the breeding silence of the smoky sea and blinked their eyes when they looked at the snow covered mountains that were palisades of light.
 Babes in arms and children born as long ago as 1942 on the Alaska Mainland were there. too. It was strange homecoming for the strange people who were never happy away from their traps and dories and these bleak treeless hills ! that stick out of the cold sea.
 The island looked different to the repatriated people. Good roads re- placed muddy trails. Army and Navy airfields were beehives of activity where the Aleuts used to graze their sheep.
 They had been homesick long time. The Aleuts were moved en masse from the islands in l942- all except the 100 or so who were at Attu. Their fate is a mystery. ] No word of them or the two white teachers, Foster Jones and Mrs. Etta Jones, has been received since the Japanese seized Attu in 1922. When the island was retaken by American troops there was no evil dence of the natives or teachers
 The 120 who dissmbarked today were only a part of the island people being repatriated. Others on the same Army transport were headed for Nikolski, Akutan and Atka. There were 400 in all
 The entire village of Atka is being rebuilt. The Japanese bombed it. The Navy destroyed it when it appeared the enemy might land there. Even the Russian Orthodox Church, with it's onion shaped spire, is heing rebuilt. Ralph Mize, the architect vino redesigned it, had to call in a Russian priest to make sure it was right.
 Don c. Foster, General Super intendent of the Alaskan Indian Service, said the Army and Navy will supply the Aleuts with all necessities of life, even replacing guns and dories lost Soon the men will be able to go to the Pribiloffs for the sealing season and others will take up their traps and fishing nets for a return to old pursuits.
 While the Aleuts were refugees in Alaska they proved industrious. They were anxious not to become government wards and became all most self-supporting, working in canneries and war plants at Ket- chikan, Juneau and Sitka and i trapping and fishing in the hills.

Ports Conference Adopts
Three-Point Plan To Com
bat R all Opposition

While most of the nation cele-
brated Labor Day yesterday, the
South Atlantic and Florida ports
conference at Jacksonville, Fla,
was busy making plans for the
continuance of coastwise and in
tercoastal shipping service along
the southeast coast.
The conference during the day
adopted a three-point plan to COM
bat expected railroad opposition
to an application for resumption
of coastwise shipping, and dis
cussed the prospect for early re-
sumption of shipping activities at
Wilmington.
]. T. HERS, executive general
agent of the Wilmington Port
Commission, represented Whining
toms interest at the conference.
The application of the War Ship
ping Administration, which was
made last week, to the Interstate
Commerce Commission seeks per-
mission to engage in limited ship
ping in costal waters-presum'
ably until the end of 1915. 1t is
hoped that private lines will have
sufficient vessels with which to
resume pre-war service at the
end of that time.
Representatives Of southeastern
port cities plan to draft resolu'
ton to the Interstate Commerce
Commission uging quick and
favorable answer to the WSA's ap-
plication for operation Of shipping
service through these ports.
According to n United Press
dispatch, it was decided at the
conference that immediate action
was necessary, because of an ex-
pected early ICC decision. 1t is
possible that the decision may
even be forthcoming today.
According to the United Press,
representatives of the American
Railroad Association are planning
TO appear before the 1CC in ar
effort to oppose the resumption
of coastwise shipping.
Action taken by the conference
yesterday urged:
Favorable action from the ICC

was pointed out that the South At

ence was intellectually backing

Tckes Issues Warming
To Privilege Princes

BALTIMORE, MD, Sept. 3-U.H
Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes told a labor rally tonight
that the British elections will have
decided repercussions in the Unit
ed States, and that some day 'the
princes of privilege in this coun-
try may find themselves wishing
''for something as conservative as
the New Deal"
Outlining Labor's job in helping
to build prosperity and full en-
ployment, he said in a prepared
Labor Day message that 1.-The evil
dence is everywhere at hand that
labor and politics do mix
Last year, this country had evi.
dence when the working men and
polls in astonishing numbers and
women of America went to the
defeated the forces of reaction"
he said. England gave evidence
Of how overwhelmingly well poll
tics and labor mix when, in her
first election in 10 years, she threw
out the Conservative party, even
though in so doing she had to sa-
crifice one of the worlds great
war leaders Winston Churchill.
1.-THE British elections will have
decided repercussions, not only on
the continent of Europe. but soon
er or later, here in tho United
States. Some of the reactionar.es
in this country whose very blood
curdled at the thought of the New
Deal and who hated 'htat man
with all their might, may find
themselves wishing, one of these
days, for something as conserva-
tive as the New Deal. For it was
essentially conservative
Ickes Urged that reserve of
public works be blueprinted i'm
mediately so it will be ready to go
when and if a depression strikes.
He said this would provide mil
lions of jobs, not only on the pro-
jects themselves, but in factories
and transportation lines.
The vast wartime industrial
plant must be harnessed to peace
time uses, he said. to forestall the
grave danger of discomfort and
unrest that would arise unless
full employment is reached.
'Unless it can be said that all
of US in this country have all OF
the things that we want, the hqui-
dation of our wartime manufa ctur-
ing plant would be crime" he
said.
Departing from his theme to
take a slap at the Republican party
he said:

memories is the occasion last year
when United Automobile Workers

date and some of his followers
