Landing facilities in the Tokyo

which delayed the occupation for
two days further damaged the run

The headquarters stan here also

regions. Reports were required on
transportation, communications,

The initial unit flying in about so

MAKE IT A SPORT

Sports writer Dave Egan, rhe Colonel in the Boston
Record closed of his recent columns with the following
comments on baseball: 49, 49,
ut will be said by the gaga school of sports writers
that the Red Sox doing the best they under
conditions and that they therefore entitled to your en-
thusasc support That friends just plain twad-s
die, Egan says in his column, for baseball is helping
manufacture its manpower shortage by drawing the
color line.
THE two most significant sports stories of the past de-
cade were written, suppose by Jesse Owens and Joe
Louis 1T was Owens who kept chasing Adoph Hitler out
OF his private box at the 1886 Olympic games by winning
the 1C0meter rum the 200-meter run, and the broad
jump 1t Louis who caused international rejoicing by
knocking out Max Schmelng in two minutes and four
seconds of the first round These two men, one with his
feet and the other with his fists did than any athletes
of our time to make laughing stock Hitler and his hate
full concept of racial superiority.
Owens, in 1885, and Louis in 1885, struck SCATTERING
blows at Hitler Now baseball in 1885, has glorious op-
portunity to deliver the final blow There being held
in San Francisco conference among most of the great and
small nations of the earth which will attempt to build
peace structure from the top down. have ndea that it

bottom that all of each in his own community can
contribute his little bit to peaceful living by exercising

IN organized baseball, day. will rise up to attest the
validity of democracy and to extend to include all Am
orleans.
Not until that day arrives, however will baseball be-
come the national pastime"
Until baseball is pred free from the grip of Hitleris
the game cannot be entitled American or national 1t
certainly cannot be rated sport for alone is the
hall mark of sports when athletic contest maintains
barriers because of color creed descent for anything
else than lack of the qualifications the contest itself re-
quires places itself outside the realm of craftsmanship
To call baseball moralebuider is misnomer because
every performance tells the world that baseball draws the
color line of hatred fifteen million Americans many of
whom are fighting and dying for democracy And what
else is craftsmanship but democracy in practice?
AS the game is now conducted, its promoters and
hackers will have difficulty to prove that it is anything
more than pseudo-social amusement which has been
transferred outdoors for the accommodation of the crowds
of "Kibitzers' who apt to be turbulent But when
conducted in harmony with the spirit of American fair
play baseball can become prime sport well as highly
practical lesson in democracy to the daily crowds of
spectators.

Domnns Degradation
HARRY DELMORE
TALKS ON MUSIC
BY TED HERNANDEZ

The chances Of future great
colored singers to follow in the
steps of Roland Hayes, Marian
Anderson, Dorothy Maynor and
others will be pretty slim, if
vocally gifted youngsters Of to-
day persist in wooing short cuts
TO fame, Harry Delmore, noted
tenor and voice teacher, New
York City, predicted this week.
The voice builder placed most
Of the blame for the harmful at
titude on radio. Radio, he said,
monopolizes the interest Of the
young with big-nsme band vo-
calists whose personal styles Of
voice production have no part
with true vocal art as practised
by great singers both present
and past.
1t is natural for youngsters to
accept bad singing as standard
and initiate it If they hear it all
most exclusively Delmore ex-
planned. In this way imitation
chad without knowledge in any
case, ruins many fine voices be-
fore they have had a chance for
proper development.
The average talented young
person today, he continued, is
imbued with a passion for quick
success peculiar to the vocal
'stylists' Of radio, record and
night-club fame. And unscrup-
lous voice teachers exploit the
desire with faulty methods and
short cuts in voice building.
There is however a right way,
and one must start early and
stick to it religiously, if lasting
fame and legitimate recognition
are to be achieved.

ZONE MORE RIVER"

The is not yet over and the European ending has

that in completing half of the war we have gained too
little for the sacrifices have made. When our boys
come home they will home to the racial bans in
social labor and political fields There still remains
the lack of FEPC there still remain the baseball color bar
