When two runs IS enough to peat Waterbury Tool and its lone man team" Hardy Brownell, in soft ball game, the amount of surprise that can be expressed is mountain ous. However, Somers Brass not only defeated Tool, 2-1 last night for the first round mems I. R. A. championship, but its toup-line pitcher "Whitey" MiScavage proved that Brownell is not invincible; and though the latter gave but five hits, four of them in a fifth inning that produced two runs, while Mis- cavage and his mates held the Tool siuggers in check for but one run throughout the game, which was witnessed by record crowd of soft ball fans. Miscavage, giving up 6 hits, also got one hit off his rival in the two run fifth .

Compromise Reached
On U. 5. Bond Bequests

The Government is to receive
S3,925 in War Bonds-under terms
of a compromised will contest-from
the estate of Mrs. Mary Grace John
son, widow who bequeathed money
to the Government because she did
not have a son or daughter to serve
her country in time of war.
Actually, Mrs. johnson, whose
home was at 1913 Allison street NV,
who died in August, bequeathed
twice the sum to the Government.
Under her will, the $4,000 residue
was to go to Catholic University and
her brother, William A. Wise, was
to receive 50 500.
Mr.. Wise contested the will, how
ever, and under the compromise
agreement both the Government and
the university each agreed to turn
over half of the bequests made to
them to Mr.. Wise. The agreement
was signed yesterday by Justice F
Dickinson Let's of District Court.

Jap Stand Unlikely
As Yanks Push Up
Valley Above Manila
BY the Associated Press.


MANILA, June 20-It appeared
unlikely today that the disorganized
Japanese in the Cagayan Valley
Luzons breadbasket-could CONSOLE
date anywhere for a stand against
the river-hopping 37th Ohio In
fantry Division, fast approaching to
within 100 miles of the islands north
tip.
The Cagayan drive, north of Ma
Mia, constitutes the major windup
move of the -month-o Luzon
campaign, and Maj. Gen. Robert S.
Beightler has the planes and artil-
lery to keep it rolling.
The japanese had been expected
to fight to the death at Nagulian.
When their mortar fire opened up as
Gen. Beightler's men massed assault
boats to cross the Cagayan River
before the town, the general barked: /:
Il want that town wiped out Put
over an air strike Immediately and
follow up with at least 500 rounds
of artillery"
Infantry Crosses River Easily.
The japanese fed. The infan-
trymen easily crossed the river and
walked into the ruined town, re-

Under Gen. Beightler's urging

ahead to approach Ilagan, ITO miles
south of Aparri on Luzon's north
tip Engineers were ready for a
quick job of spanning the river at
that point.
Hungry Filipinos eye the progress
of the 37th, which is racing up a
valley producing a big share OF
Luzon's staple foods, rice and corn,
as well as tobacco.
1,600 Japs Killed in Week.
Many of the towns the Ohioans

N. Mex, your cattle front corre-
spondent was informed that the Bell
Ranch fence was only miles from
town. But to get to ranch head
quarters involved q 77-mile bus trip
to Mosquero and then you were still
40 miles away from headquarters,
what with intervening mountains
and canyons.
All Mosquero turned out to help
locate the Bell manager. Finally
came cowboy with word that Mr..
Mitchell was at his own ranch, the
1870, ,000-acre Tequesquite, where he
runs 800 head Of registered Hereford
breeding cows and a commercial
herd of 800 head of beef COWS. That
means a ranch population of 5000
head after the annual calf drop.
But Tequesquite headquarters is also
40 miles from Mosquero and in the
opposite direction from Bell. Along
comes Sheriff Simon Belarde in a
big country car and we're on our
way.
Three days of trailing along with
Mr.. Mitchell over the 280 square
miles of his own ranch and the al
most 800 square miles Of Bell covered
not only lot of ground but a lot
of information on what's wrong with
meat.
Ranchers Worried.
While the whole Nation Is in the
grip of a meat shortage, the cattle
producing rancher of the West is
doing some earnest worrying about
the threat Of an oversupply of meat
on the hoof, according to Mr.. Mitch
ell. Ten million beef cattle above
normal constitute a real danger to
the Western cattle industry. That's
not only Mr.. Mitchell's opinion but
is the firm conviction of all the live
stock associations.
The Western cattlemen want to
see those 100000 excess cattle
liquidated as soon as possible. And
so, If they get their way. there's
an end to your meat famine Re
duction of beef cattle by 10000, 900
head this fall and winter would re-
suit in a far healthier condition for
the industry. For the sake of the
future we'd better unload" declares
Mr.. Mitchell.
And this fall is likely to see rush
on the part Of range men to unload,
he thinks. An earlier than normal
movement off the range is almost
certain. Mr.. Mitchell believes.
That will be a good thing not only
for the meat-starved East but for
the railroads and packers, too.
There's real danger II the move
ment of cattle from the West isn't
spread out over more months than
usual this year that the railroads
will be swamped and perhaps the
packers, too. If that happens, down
will go prices and broke goes the
rancher.
AS to the meat shortage, to Mr..
Mitchell and every other cattle
producer in the West and Midwest,
the answer Is simple It's entirely
artificial. unnecessary and made In
Washington.
Washington Blamed.
THE cattle that should be moving
to market now, the cattle that the
East should be eating are the cattle
that should have gone to the Mid
west feed lots last fall for a long
feed" says Mr.. Mitchell. But they
didn't"

B-Ns Soon Will Blast
Every Jap War Plant,
Gen. LeMay Predicts
BY w. H. sHIPPEN, JR.

The aggressive young commander
OF Super Forts now dropping a new
earthquake" on Japan several times
a week said here yesterday the So
called empire soon may run fresh
out of industrial targets
In fact, 38-year-old Maj. Gen.
Curtis E. LeMay of the 21st Air
Force is convinced the Japs also
will run fresh out of Japan" unless
they can find the sense to surrender
before fleets of 1000 B-29s begin
to work them over.
Although still building up to peak
strength, the long-range bomber
force based on the Marianas already
is turning to secondary targets after
substantially destroying the five
major cities of Japan" along with
aircraft factories, fuel dumps and
rehneries, port installations and the
like.
The general, who few here from
Guam few days ago to confer with
the high command, confined himself
to discussing B-29 operations with
out venturing an opinion on what
the Japs will face from renewed air
craft carrier attacks, from Army
fighter assaults and from heavy and
medium bombers moving up TO
newly won bases
Lack Skill to Rebuild.
One raid alone by the B-29s, how
ever, visited more destruction on
Tokyo's busy factories than the
devastating earthquake of 1923, &C
cording to Gen. LeMay's intelligence
officer. The Japs, in the generals
opinion. lack the technical skill
which the Germans applied to re-
building their bomb blasted in
dustries.
1t was estimated that Sc square
miles of commercial and industrial
Tokyo, or the major portion of the
builtup areas, have been destroyed.
Of dozen aircraft factories dis
cussed, the Mitsubishi works at
Nagoya. Japans biggest, received
the heaviest blows. The plant is
completely out of production and 95
per cent destroyed, it was said. The
others are in various stages of dis
repair, some requiring return visits
Vast Burned Out Areas.
Vast burned out areas were shown
by photograph in Tokyo, Nagoya,
Osaka. Kobe and Yokohama.
In particular, this writer was in
terested in the final estimate of re-
suits of a big raid on Northwest
Tokyo on the night of last April
1914, having gone along in one of
the incendiary-laden B-29s.
5000 Factories Burned.
This was very good strike" the
intelligence officer said, at the
Tokyo arsenal complex, and it
burned down at least 5000 factories,
according to an educated guess.
Subsequent photographs showed
that liz miles of an area filled
with substantial buildings had been
burned over.
Gen. LeMay said that in bomb
tonnage the present raids compare
in destructive force with the 1000
plane strikes at Germany. Despite
the damage they create, the Super
Forts are dreaded by Jap airmen
because of their accurate. heavy
flrepower.
Even the vaunted suicide fighters
are none too eager to attack, the
general said, and there have been
fewer losses from ramming than
from orthodox fighter action or
fack, which the commander de-
scribed as decidedly inferior. A few
suicide, jet-assisted gliders have
been carried aloft and loosed at the
B-29s without any known losses to
the Yanks, it was said.

As Corn Feeding Of
Cattle Decreases
Third of a Series. }
BY RAY SPRIGLE.

BELL RANCH, N. Mex, June 70.
Dust rises in a great yellow cloud,
churned by 10000 pounding cloven
hoofs. Up ahead, the point man
heads for the crossing Of New
Mexico's Canadian. Behind, the
drag men eat dust.
The Bell is moving its yearling
heifer herd to new range. There
they are. Count 'em $500 yearling
she-stuff on the way to fresh grass.
There goes your meat of your
years hence. Already, that meat
has seen two arduous years in the
making. Two years ago Bell threw
its pedigreed Hereford bulls in with
the then 2-year -old COW herd and
later these cattle stirring up this
choking dust were dropped as
calves. They've gone a year now
and they'll spend another year on
the new range before the herd sires
of ancient and honorable lineage
join them. Another wait Of almost
year for the calf crop. Then l8
months at least, more likely two
years for the beef crop Of 1949-
nearly six years in the making.
And then what? will that 1949
calf crop pay out? Nobody knows,
lease Of all the cattleman. If
there's another beef shortage, he'll
get top prices for his steer and calf
crop. For it's a quirk Of this cattle
business that only when the de-
mand for beef exceeds the supply
do the herds pay off. And If there's
a glut of cattle In the yards at
Chicago and Kansas City, he may
be lucky to get his freight 'bill out
of them.
Long Term Problem.
That's why the range cattleman
can do nothing about the present
shortage. If you want more meat,
you've got to tell him at least three
years ahead of time And to make
sure you'd better make it six be-
cause you've got to have the COW
herds before you can count the
calf drop.
Nine men handle this great beet
herd, with Assistant Ranch Man
ager George Ellis in charge. It's
late Saturday afternoon when the
herd reaches the sandy bed Of the
Canadian River. The point men
splash over the banks and then pull
out again huriedly. The river bed is
boggy and the cattle will never get
across. So the herd Is turned back
and thrown onto a bed ground
Night guards hold 1t there all night.
Early Sunday morning the crew
comes out again and the herd is
moved down river to where hard
bottom Is found 1t is driven across
the river to new pasture and the fat
little heifers fall to on the rich black
grama and buffalo grass. That's all
they'll have to do for another year.
Master of this historic Bell is
Albert K. Mitchell, born on the
range, raised on the range. He Is
member of the National Joint
Livestock Committee, set up by
the War Food Administration to
counsel the Government; former
president Of the National Livestock
Association and member of its
board; former president of the Ma
tional Livestock and Meat Board,
now a director. and former presi-
dent of the New Mexico Cattle
Growers Association, as was his
father before him.

But he's q hard man to run down.
He's got too much room in which

the reasons why there are not
enough cattle in the corn belt
feed lots to supply the present de-
r4and Is because cattle prices are
too high--too high for the feeder to
make profit. That's because OPA
live cattle ceilings don't permit
enough spread between range cattle
and finished cattle to enable the
feeder to put his corn into cattle.
"The initial high cost Of cattle,
both calves and steers, on the range,
leaves no margin for the feeder to
take a profit on a long feed" ex-
plains Mr.. Mitchell. incidentally, its
the cattle producers like Mr.. Mitchell
who got that. higher price and as a
result they are on top of the world.
But it's bad thing for the industry
as whole, Mr.. Mitchell insists.
80 the best the feeder could do
was to put his cattle on a short
feed, warm them up as the ex-
preston goes, use cheaper grain
and send them to market. And all
or most of those short feed cattle
already have been marketed.
Present price ceilings on cattle
established in 1912 when grain sup
plies were short, fixed narrow
margin between heavy high-grade
cattle and lighter grades. That
margin has been held all the way
through. 1t is strangling the oper-
ations of the cattle feeder despite
the fact that grain has been and
now is plentiful.
And there you have it-at least
part of it.
But there's another step between
the range and the corn belt feed
lot. Not all cattle take that step
But those that do are going to be
big help in relieving the beef
steak shortage late this fall. To-
morrow we'll see.
