Greatest Task

NEW YORK, April 26. CUP)-
The pennant that Billy SouthWorth
Of the St. Louis Cardinals wants to
win most of all may be the hardest
TO attain.
He seeks the 1915. flag as a mem
orial to his 26-year old son, Maj.
Billy SouthWorth, Jr., himself a bali
player, who died when a Super
fortress he was plotting plunged into
the waters of New York's Flushing
Bay last winter.
Ironically, the same army that
took his son, has a lien now on the
services o. three key players, Catcher
Walker Cooper and outfielders Stan
Musial and Danny LitWhiler, with
cut whom he probably would not
have won the 1914 pennant.
The round-faced little Cardinal
pilot wants it that way He knows
the army needed all those young
men including his son who disting-
uished himself in heroic missions
over Germany before coming home
to die in an accident off peace
shores.

Navy Takes Over
Struck 5. +. Plant

WASHINGTON, April 26. CUP)-
President Truman late Wednesday
authorized the Secretary of Navy to
take over the plant OF the United
Engineering Co., Ltd, of San Fran
cisco, where wartime shipbuilding
had been upheld by labor juris-
dictional dispute.
The While House said that this
was the first time the navy had
recommended to the President seiz-
ure of an industrial plant under such
circumstances. An argument be-
tween the boilermakers' union and
the metal workers over engine room
rigging led to q strike which spread
to the shop mechanics and prevented
completion of a troop transport, an
army cargo boat, and two vessels
for the war shipping administration.
President truman directed the
navy to run the plant as usual and
not to restore 1t to its owners un-
til all danger of interrupting pro-
duction had disappeared.

McPhaiI Won Out
In Demands to
Name New Gar
BY LEO III. PETER sen

NEW YORK, April &c. (UP)-A
young army captain and seven other
gay Tennessee soldiers slipped be-
hind the German lines into Hol-
land a cold January day 26 years
ago in an attempt to kidnap the
Kaiser.
They came out alive, but without
the Kaiser. Although their coup
didn't work, it was an exciting leave
for the eight soldiers and the cap
tain came out of it with one of the
Kaiser's ash trays.
So for the captain-Leland Stan
ford MacPhail-that mission wasn't
a complete failure. It's been the
same with all the missions he has
tried since then, most of them in
baseball.
His latest mission was to Cleve-
land Tuesday. He came out of it
with what he wanted-a new base
ball commissioner. What's more he
got the job for his man.
He wasn't originally for Albert B.
Happy) Chandler, but he switched
to him when he saw his campaign
to land the post for Ford Frick was
hopeless. And MacPhail never was
one to stay with losing cause.
He also was determined that a
new commissioner be selected at the
Cleveland meeting. At least II of
the 16 club owners had gone to the
session in favor of postponing ac-
ton until after the war. But Mac
Phail kept on talking and he al
ways has been a master at that.
One by ore he changed the minds of
the club owners and then when
Chambers name came up he went
to work again. And again he won
his point
So the Larry MacPhail who now is
head of the vast New York Yankee
baseball network isn't any different
than the Larry MacPhail who took
the Cincinnati Reds out of the base
ball wilderness and brought Ma
tional League pennant to Brooklyn.

Chandler Looks
Over New Job
BY JOHN L. CUTTER

WASHINGTON, April 26. CUP)--
Sen. Albert B. Happy Chandler
Cd, Kentucky, hopes that as base
balls high commissioner he can be
as good for the sport as it has been
to him.
ITO me baseball is the greatest
sport in the world" Chandler said.
ut has brought me probably the
highest honor Of my life. l hope
that I can do something for the
game
Chandler returned to the senate
Wednesday to begin winding up
his political affairs with expecta-
ticn that he can Go it in 80 to 60
days. When that is done baseball,
an avocation until now, will get
his undivided attention.
THE important thing at the mo-
ment is to keep the game on its
present high plane Chandler said.
Its an honest game and has to be
kept that way.
After the war there is another
matter. The young kids coming
along have get to have chance to
get into the game. Baseball is 60
ing to have an important place in
the postwar sports program. It's
healthy and it's fun. 1t will do the
kids lot of good
Chandler left no doubt that he
expects to have full authority as
commis sioner comparable to that of
the late Judge KenesaW M. Lands.
1T never occurred to me that it
would be anything less" he said.
Il can't go in there standing in the
shadow of Judge Lands and not
have authority to do a good job as
I see it."

Krug Sees Slash
In WPB Controls

WASHINGTON, April IS up
War Production Chief J. A. Krug
says he hoped that all WPB con
trolls can be released at the end of
the Japanese war.
Krug testified before the house
postwar economic policy commit
tee that this was mot forecast
That the situation is flexible" and
it is only speculation" but added.
During the phase between now
and the end of the Japanese war I
think we can get our economy
around SO that at the end of the
war with Japan our controls can be
released
He said that in the next three or
four months WPB would release
from one-fourth to one third of its
10O-odd controls and that as the
Japanese war progressed others
would be released.
Items which must be controlled
until the end of the Pacific war,
he said, include textiles, lumber,
forest products. pulp, tin, possibly
lead and certain chemicals.

FELLER STILL SPEEDY

Evanston, Ill, April 26. CUP)-
Coach Bob Feller, former Cleveland
Indian pitching star took it easy
yesterday when he pitched three
innings as his Great Lakes base
ball team defeated Northwestern,
12-2. But he proved he still has
the flaming fast ball which made
him the scourge of American League
batters. Feller, a chief specialist
at Great Lakes, famed seven men
and issued no walks although he
allowed two hits when he eased up
against the collegians. 1t was his
first pitching performance since re-
turning to the United States after
more than two years duty on the
high seas.

Its like endorsing a check and
leaving it on tie street, then
squaWking when someone cashes
it." he said War tonds are easily
cashed and should not only be
carefully guarded, but a record
should be kept of their serial num-
bers and amounts
If bonds are lost CT stolen re-

House Group Delays
New Work Law, Sets
Job Jumping Penalty
Strong Bloc Maps Fight
Against Reviewing
Of Form Deferments
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The House Military Affairs
Committee has put off until next
week a final decision on compul-
sorry manpower legislation, after
voting late yesterday to impose
civil penalties on men between
18 and As who leave essential
jobs, instead of inducting them
into Army work battalions.
Meanwhile, powerful House
farm bloc announced plans to wage
a separate fight against the admin
istration's recent order to draft
boards to review agricultural defer
ments. Expressing fear that if any
more able-bodied men are taken
from the farms the food supply of
this country and its Allies will be
endangered, the farm group made
public a resolution it will offer in
the HOUSE on Monday.
The resolution seeks to require
selective service to clarity the recent
farm directive by listing agriculture
as critical war industry, and by
advising local boards to follow the
deferment standards in the Tydings
amendment of three years ago.
Labor Hoarding Probe Asked.
While the Military Committee still
is struggling with the subject, the
farm bloc resolution would open up
the whole manpoWer problem in an
other committee by proposing that
War Mobilization Director Byrnes
investigate at once ''the availability
of manpower among the $500, ,783
Federal employees, and especially to
make a thorough investigation of
labor boarding in industry, particu-
larly in the cost-plus war indus
tries"
BY vote of Is to 2, the Military
Committee late yesterday adopted
the motion of Representative Kilday,
Democrat, of Texas to provide fines
up to $4,000 or five years imprison-
ment instead of induction into mill
tary labor battalions for deferred
draft registrants who leave war
job without permission.
This action applied only to the
first part of the bill, designed to
stop turnover among existing war
workers. The committee Is expected
to make the same change next week
in the second part. which seeks to
lput into Army labor battalions any
men between 18 and As who ignore
q draft board request to move from
