Along
BY HAL WOOD

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7. (UP)-
Manager Lefty O'DOul is a cOngen-
ia! gent who makes it a habit to
stop and pass the time o'day with
anyone who is affable enough to
holler Hey, Lefty"
In fact. the likeable IriShman has
a reputation Of knowing someone
OF someone knows him in any ham,
let in the country. We've heard Of
local betting empOriumS that will
!ay you six. two and even that Lefty
could walk up the main street Of
Timbuctoo and meet an old friend.
He's just that kind Of a guy.
So it was bound to happen:
At Seals Stadium the other night
as the local entry in the Pacific
Coast league was tangling with Sc
attic, who should crop up, but an
old friend of Lefty's.
The gentiemans name is mys-
terry. but along about the sixth inn
ing, the fellow decided that now
would be a good time to shake hands
with his old friend, ODoul. So out
Of a front-line box he comes stag
gering.
He heads ON a zig-zag course for
the Seal manager along the third
base line.
And just as he gets within six
feet of Lefty, he sticks out his hand,
yells "Hiya, Lefty, OIL pal OF pail
and falls flat on his face!
ODOul, still the friendly type,
helps the inebriate to his feet, dusts
him off, shakes his hand-and boots
him in the rear, right back into his
box seat!
College football squads again will
be short an experienced player
this year-bu the chances seem
good that the play will be better in
spite Of it.
Dick Kelly. publicist for the Uni
versity of California, points out that
the 80 men now working out under
uniform size than at any time since
start of the war.
These lads are older more ma
ture in body and mind" says Dick
"and as a result should put up a
better brand Of play.
On the Cal squad goodly share
are either discharged veterans or
navy and marine trainees who al
ready have seen overseas service.
This may mean that football, the
l945 brand. will regain some Of the
real, rough rock-em, sock-em play
that characterized the game in the
late thirties-the type of ball that
jammed stadiums across the land.

U. s. Grand Jury
Indicts Pair
On Anti-Jap Acts

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 7. UP)-
A federal grand jury has returned
indictments against James E. Wat
son, 38 and Claude R. Watson, 35,
brothers, who allegedly participated
i'll night raid on the farm of Su-
mio Dol. Auburn, Calf, Japanese
American last Jan. 18.
The indictments charge the broth
ers with possession Of dynamite in
violation Of the federal explosives
act and with conspiracy to violate
the same act.
James Watson was acquitted of
arson charges in a superior court
trial last April, and similar charges
against Claude were dropped. James
Watson later was acquitted of
charges Of contributing to the de
linquency of a minor girl who alleg-
edly accompanied the group to the
Dol farm.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Emmett
Sewell said that Garland Isaacs, an
FBI official AnariO G. NuneS, Aub-
urn district ranCher and Marie
Trabakaloos. Auburn appeared be-
fore the grand jury Bail for the
pair was set at $500 and a bench
warrant for their arrest was to be
issued later today.
Dol, who since has been inducted
into the armed services, may be
called to testify if the case goes to
trial, Sewell said.
In the attack on Doi's farm, an
unsuccessful attempt was made to
set fire to a shed and to damage it
with dynamite.
Conviction on the dynamite pos
session count carries maximum pen
alties Of one year in Jail and $4,000
fine and the felony conspiracy ac-
cusation carries two year Jail term
and $4,000 fine.

Nimitz Retains
Command Over
Navy, Marines

GUAM, Aug. 7. CUP)-Admiral
Chester W. Nimitz retains command
of navy and marine personnel on
Okinawa despite Gen. Douglas Mac
ArthurS assumption of general COM
mand of the Ryukyus, Pacific fleet
headquarters announces.
Nimitz'S headquarters issued what
it said was a statement to clarity
the complex command now closing
on Japan" following MacArthur's
announcement Saturday that he was
taking over control of all army fore
es except the Eighth Air Force IN
the RyukyuS area.
The navy statement said detailed
arrangements for three-Way COM
mand of the Pacific were worked
out at conferences here from July
81 to % as follows:
l. Control of American held
areas in the RyukyuS, responsibility
for government of the areas and
control of u S. army forces in the
Ryukyus passes from Nimitz TO Mac
Arthur commander Of U. S. Army
forces in the Pacific Army forces

and seventh air forces and the 10th
army in the Ryukyus, as well as the
sixth and eighth armies and the
18th army air force in the Philip
pines.
2. Control Of all naval and naval
air forces, as well as naval bases.
remains under NimitZ.
3. Control of U. S. army STRAIT
egic air forces, including the eighth
and Goth (Superfortress) air forces.

of naval forces operating at sea in
the vicinity of the Ryukyus and the
East China sea- as well as the naval
/ operating base on OkinaWa, which
includes all naval and marine air
bases as well as other naval shore
activities.
Overall command of the land.
sea and air forces remains with the
| joint chiefs of staff in Washington
rather than with a single command
as in the case of Gen Dwight D.
Eisenhower in the European war.
