Happy Chandler Isn't Happy Anymore

During the last month and one half a venomous attack has been launched against Sen. A. B. Happy" Chandler. the newly appointed Czar of organized baseball. This attack reached its height when Leslie M. O'Connor, old standby and right hand man of the late Judge Kene- saw M. Landis was removed from the post he has held for some 24 odd years. And of course this blame was immediately heaped upon the shoulders of that genial gentleman from Kentucky, without anyone considering the fact that he had not been endowed with one-fourth of the power exercised by the late proxy. Nor did these self-appointed antagonists stop to consider that this might be the do-ngs of a few of the big club magnates who want ed to break the very tthorough rule of baseball which the late Judge had set up and administered dur ing his term in office. To these men who are very ambitious, o. Connor who was very familiar, as we'll as being a firm advocate of his late bosses policies, constituted big threat to the revamping they had planned for baseball. Whether this cleanup is for better or for worse we will have to let time de- eide. 1nklings of just how the wind blew in the Major and Minor league baseball picture were first brought to the attention of the public about one year and half ago when some of the Major and Minor league mag mates staged revolt against the Landis regime but were beaten. But dictating by means of power poli- tics to Landis and to Chandler shape up as two different pictures entirely. The judge exercised such firm rule that no one or no group were successful in sWaying him to their likings but with the limited powers and backing which the Chandler regime has fallen heir to after these specified opponents of the judge and therefore O'Connor had yielded mighty axe, the new Czar was limited ln his move ments as well as being drasticaily de- limited in his authority. In other words this coup detat to oust o. Connor and to make Chandler the scapegoat of the whole affair has come off very smoothly and with out hitch. We, of course will have to admit that Sen. Chandler has
 been a little outspoken in the wrong direction at certain times, but We can truthfully say that he is not the first to be flaunter with it. May be there are some inS and some outs of this affair which if made known would throw au entirely different light on this hotly debated matter, but as it appears on the surface to us the Major and Minor league magnates were tired of being ruled
 and wanted a Charlie Mccarthy, and that's what they got. Chand- Ter with his legislative ability and charming personality could do good | job as supreme ruler of baseball, IF
 ne had the power and authority.
 But as things stand now, ne hasn't,
 he won't, so he Can't

Pertinent Observations!

It now seems that the trade of Mort Cooper to the Boston Braves for Red Barrett and cash consid- eration has not affected the Red- birds in the manner which was ex- pected; that being decided down. ward slide. But to the contrary this deal seems to have been advantag- eous to both the Braves and the Cards. Cooper winning his fifth this season against no losses with the Braves on Sunday last and Barrett hurling the Cards to another much needed victory if they are to stage a repeat of last season. Maybe after such hard feelings between Cooper and the Card management existed this trade was for better instead of worse.

Fightin' Talk .BetWe- Il Friday


 Fightin' Talk Between Friday of this week and Tuesday Of next there are three fights which promise to knock some of our more debonair fight enthusiasts slightly "GA-GA'. At New York on F1iuay evening Uncle Mike JaconS will stage hls first open air bout of the season at the POLO GROUNDS presenting as his feature attraction Sugar Ray Robinson battling 1t out with Jimmy McDaniels in a ten round slugtesL. While at Boston, Waterbury's Lulu Costantino is nicked the underdog in his scheduled encounter with Gus Nell
 On Monday evening at the Muni- cipal Stadium George Mulligan who has received some national publicity will bring together Benny Singleton and Johnny Greco in a bout which promises to be hum dinger. This tight is expected to draw a big crowd from all parts of New Eng land and New York as both boys have punched out brilliant reputa- tions for themselves in the last few years.
 Our Selections to WIN are: Rob- inson to beat McDaniels at the Polo Grounds; Nell to Whip Costantino at Boston; and Greco to beat Single ton at Waterbury on Monday eve- ming.
 This ain't according to Hoyle: Tommy Bergin, thirteen year old student at Bunker Hill Grammar School spouted some horse sense last week which as a result netted him S17.50, a none too paltry sum. The young lad after reading the papers happened to notice that the Kentucky Derby was going to be run and like all kids these days he had his ideas on who was going to win. So, he told his father to bet on Hoop Jr. to win. Papa took a chance and he won out; the result being pop won $35 and split with his son for the timely advice, This is a unique case of son tell father and t,~ ~ioIk kAr

under which the American military
government in Germany functioned
originally and from which it still
draws considerable authority even
though the Big Three declaration at
Potsdam is now the basic guide.
Would Rewrite Order.
Mr.. Price recommended that
JCS1067 be rewritten Into few
hundred words of general princi-
ples,"
He said its detailed provisions
fall with untold force upon Gen.
Eisenhower's officers, now long ex-
perienced in the actual business of
dealing with the Germans"
AS part of his program for bring
ing orders into line with experience,
Mr.. Price proposed that there should
tbe some provision for slowing down
the process of denazification where
men of small position in industry
are concerned.
Persons familiar with the original
policy planning here credit Mr.. Nor
genthau with insistence on ruthless
elimination of all Nazis at all levels.
MIR. Price did not oppose this but
suggested that more time might be
taken to accomplish it.
; Departments Get Report.
Mr.. Truman's special emissary
also laid emphasis on the need to
increase German production to a
point at which it would help to make
Germany self-sustaining by provid-
ing exports to match needed imports.
Mr.. Truman transmitted the re-
port to the Secretaries of State, War
and Navy yesterday with recon-
mendation that they give it careful
consideration with view to taking
joint action. He called Mr.. Price,
former director of censorship, IAN
able and experienced observer"
It was considered probable that
the report would be made the SUBJ
ject of early conferences among the
three departments and that these
would be directed toward finding
ways of carrying out Mr.. Prices
main objectives.
Mr.. Price in his 5,000-word re-
port credited the military under
Gen. Eisenhower with having done
an excellent job so far. But he said
the time has come now when the
initial military objectives OF rem
dering Germany harmless have
been achieved and decisions must
be made on more basic, long-range
goals.
Army Officer as Administrator.
/ In discussing the form of civilian
government he said should succeed
the military in Germany no earlier
than June /, Mr.. Price said:
"An ideal choice would be an
Army officer Of proven Judgment
and administrative ability " : who
would be willing. to serve in civ
ilian capacity and administer ac-
cording to civilian formulas"
4 Mr.. Price did not mention any
names, but his presentation of a
pattern for the civilian administra-
tor stirred speculation over these
| men:
l Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, Just
] arrived in Germany as successor to
Gen Eisenhower in the military
governors post.

commanded the 5th Army in italy
and then succeeded Gen. George S.
Patton in command Of the Sd Army.

why didn't this (the fact the shil
was oyerdue) get out sooner?"
(Fleet headquarters at Guam
explained at the time that nom
arrival at Leyte would not neces-
sarily have caused alarm; among
other factors, a statement ex-
planned, was the fact that in war
time ships orders sometimes are
changed en- route without notice
to their originally scheduled 'des-
tinations.)
Fires Trapped Many.
Regardless of the reasons, there
were many additional deaths as sur
vivors drifted or swam-some with
out even lifejackets-in the open sea
for four foodless, waterless days.
Fires had trapped many OF the
crewmen and they went down with
the cruiser.
Rushing from his sea cabin, the
partly clad skipper said he ordered
the navigator, Comdr. John Hopkins
Janney, Baltimore, Md, who later
was lost:
For Gods sake, make certain the

chapter of St. Luke, beginning with
the 41st verse.
The Chaplain, mentioning that
some of his congregation have just
