Nothing Accomplished

The Conference of Foreign Ministers in Lon
don is. coming to an end without accomplish
ing anything toward establishing Of world
peace.
Mr.. Molotov of Russia has been belligerent.
Mr.. Byrnes of the United States has been
sonciliatory. Mr.. Bevin Of Great Britain has
been quarrelsome. The representatives of Chi
"a and France have been shouldered aside.
AS a consequence adjournment will find only
that Britain and Russia have reached a de-
csion concerning Finland and that troops are
to be Withdrawn from Iran by next March.
The real purpose of the sessions, to wit,
the preliminary drafting of treaties for the
Balkan states and Italy, has not been &C
complished.
The reason appears to be that Mr.. Molotov,
while unable to control the conference proce-
lure, has so effectively dominated it that his
lssd Rates were kept moving in circle, when
they moved at all a situation which clearly
demonstrates that Soviet Russia will continue
inject discord into any further sessions OF
he Foreign Ministers and ultimately at the
,eace table unless it has its own way con.
serning terms for the defeated powers.
Having been raised to the higher bracket
ln1ong world powers with American and Brit
ish aid in the war, Russia obviously intends
10 impose its will upon its allies, who saved
It from defeat, and when it cannot quite make
Me grade to keep the going as tough as pos
Mble for other powers This was manifest al
he San Francisco Security Conference. 1t has
leen obvious in London.
No one can safely guess the outcome, but
contemplation of what it might lead to is
definitely alarming.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, - Here
are some questions from relatives
of men in service regarding dis.
charges:
@. My husband writes me from
France that he might not be home
for two years. He is captain in
the Transportation Corps and has
been overseas since early in 1915.

points. This is contrary to every
thing 1 have read about men get.

A. Since your husband has writ

ably will be back before the end
of the year, if not sooner. and dis.
charged.
@. A friend who met my son
overseas just a few weeks before
he came home said my boy was
sitting around doing nothing and
was very unhappy. If he isn't do
ing anything why don't they send
him home? He was in the infan-
try. Is there chance he might be
in the occupation army?
A. The Army is getting the mer
back from overseas as fast as il
can. If he saw action it is doubt.
full that he will be in the occupa.
ton forces.
@. My brother fought in Italy
with the 34th Infantry. He writes
that the boys say they might not
get back for IL months or more.
Is this possible?
A. According to the latest SEIZED
ule, his outfit is due to get back ir
December. 1t will probably be soor
er, according to the progress they
are making now.
@. A man who lives down the
street from me returned from
France last week. He had only
been overseas a few months be
fore the war ended and saw prac
tically no combat. How does it hap

to convince the japanese militarists that they
have met defeat. If it also leads to revolt
among the japanese themselves, President
Truman has told General Macarthur not to
interfere, but let them fight it out.
Even though the disarming Of native troops
has not been completed in the home islands,
General Macarthur must feel that he has sui
ficient strength to control any emergency.
Otherwise he would hardly have taken this
step.

Atkins Challenges Promoter Jacobs

New York, April 2l-CUP)-A battle between promoters Larry Ate kins and Mike Jacobs over who has the jurisdiction to stage title fights was in prospect today following an announcement by Atkins that he intended to put on a three bout welterweight championship tourna- ment.
 Atkins said Chuck Hunter of Cleveland would meet Tommy Bell of Youngstown, O., in a 10-round indoor match at Cleveland, May g. The winner will oppose Jimmy Doyle of Los Angeles at the Cleve- land stadium on June '. That w1n- ner in turn will get a crack at Freddie Cochrane's world title in a third Cleveland bout sometime in July according to Atkins plans.
 Jacobs suggested that Atkins was being ridiculous.
 T don't see how Cochrane can defend his title in Cleveland" he said T have a contract with him to defend it in New York. He is to fight title bout here either late this summer or early next fall.
 That failed to disturb Atkins, whose promotions are all in Cleve- land. I'm in business just like Mike Jacobs is in business" he said.

Boseboll Crowds More Than 1944

New York, April 2l-(UP)- The clicking of turnstiles, sound that major league owners like even bet ter than the crack of the bat, was highly satisfactory in the 1945 open ing day games, United Press ate tendance checkup showed today.
 With returns in thus far on only seven games, the attendance this year for opening contests totals 1884, 486 as compared with 193,514 8 year ago. When the St. Louis Cardinals, world champions, open their home season today against the Cincinnati Reds. they may swell the ttal above tlse 1914 first day figures.
 The fact that attendance re- mained about the same was consid- cred an encouraging facter in view Of the fact that cold and damp weather held down crowds, particu- larly in the larger eastern cities.

Injury Jinx 'Doqs' Shortstops

New York, April 2l = U.Po - Shortstops. orp layers who used to play Shortstop, apparently are eo- ing to have 8 hard time of it in the current major league season. With the season only four days old, eight in1lelders are on the side- lines for one reason or another, and they have one thing in common they are all shortstops or ex-short- stops.
 When Manager Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn Dodgers came up with 8 charley horse and elected to sit out yesterdays game with the New York Giants, he saved President Branch Hickey 1000. Hickey had promised Durocher a bonus of that amount if he could play the first 15 games on the schedule and Leo said at that time that the money is as good as mine - tell Hickey to make out check right now"
 Durocher's injury probably won't be as costly to the Dodgers, how ever, as the injuries of some of the other infielders who had been slated for regular duty.
 Manager Joe Cronin of the BoS- ton Red Sox, one of the greatest shogtstopS of the past decade, prob ably is out for the season with 8 broken ankle suffered in Q game with the Yankees.
 Wllitey Wietelman of the Boston Braves, 2 Standout fielder at his shortstop position, had to have a part of his little finger amputated because Of a training injury. Eddie Joost, also of the Braves, who was playing second base although he is a regular shortstop, was laid up after the first two games with the Giants.
 Vernon Stephens of the St. Louis Browns went out after three games at his Shortfield position with a thumb injury. Manager Lou Bou- dreau of the Cleveland Indians suf- fered a badly bruised wrist.
 The shortf1eld artist for the Cin- cinnati Reds, Eddie Miller, still is laid up although he didn't get his knee injury playing baseball He fell down while ice skating and has been limping ever since. Frankie CroSetti of the Yankees, although not injured, is out of condition and not likely to play for some time.

BY LEO PETERSEN United Press Sports EditOr)

New York, April 2l-(UP)-The field for the successor of the late Kenesaw Mountain Landis as base ball commissioner has narrowed down to such an extent that it TO longer is a question of who the club owners want. but who they can get.
 The two men who could have had the job have turned it down. James A. Farley eliminated him. self in the deliberations of the Spe- cial four-man committee which the Major Leagues set up to recom- mend Landis' successor The money he is receiving as an executive with a soft drink manufacturing con- cern was too much more than the $50,000 year the commissioner ship pays.
 And Edward Grant Barrow de- cided against the job because of his health and his advanced years. He soon will be IT.
 So 1t looks like Ford Prick, pres ident of the National League, is going to get the job after all. He Al0o bCCIl lAlC UAAAy NeAAA4PQAbAA AOA the post and he would have had the job now had it not been for opposition within his own league
 The situation is such that there seems to be doubt whether the Major League club owners will be able to muster the majority of 12 votes necessary to select LandiS successor when they get together in Cleveland next Tuesday The word from the pipe line depart ment now is that the commission is going to recommend two men, Prick and Leslie J. O'Connor, who for years served as Landis secre- tary. ...
 A deadlock may develop since O'Connor is strong in the west, but has no support in the east. If Prick cannot be named as a com- promise candidate, the majors may have to go through their fourth wartime season without & commits sioner.
 That the Major League execu- tives, seasoned business men who have made million dollar indus try out of baseball, would let any thing stand in the way of replac- | ing the commissioner is inconceiv- able even thoungh it could hap pen.
 Baseball never needed a commis- sioner more. Within the next year dozens of service men are likely to return to their clubs after military leaves and the resulting confusion may produce many disputes which only commissioner could settle.
 In addition, the constantly in- creasing volume of gambling or baseball games, poses anotI.el problem. There are young players in the game who never would be Major Leaguers except for the wal and there are oldsterS who are playing on borrowed time" be- cause the real stars are in the serv' ice. No one intends to impugr their honesty by suggesting tha any of them might deal witf gamblers to throw 8 game a1lt cause scandal as serious as ths Black Sox infamy of 1919. Bu the fans might have their doubts realizing the temptation that thes' players might face, and knowing also that without commissione the sport lacks actual "high-court enforcement power to deal "witl such a situation.

Toronto, April 2l-(UP)-The Toronto Maple Leafs were only even money today to win the game which will give them the National league hockey Stanley cup championship from a Detroit Red Wing sextet that apparently didn't know when 1t was beaten.
 Toronto, which won the first three games of the series without allow ing Detroit 8 goal, failed to main- tain its fast pace and the Redwings got up of the ice to take the next two. If Detroit wins tonight the series will go into 8 3-all deadlock forcing seventh and deciding game at Detroit tomorrow night.
