Straight Win OF Season
For Browns
Nv GAYLE TALBOT

DETROIT, Sept. 49, %
The pennant-hungry Tigers cur
led up and played kitten for
Nelson Potter Of the st. Louis
Browns in today's series final,
getting only two scattered hits
off the steady right handler rs
they we're shut out s to o.
Nv courtesy Of the Philadelphia
Athletics, however, the defeat tenn
norarily cost the Tigers none of
their fat game and a half lead
nver the Washington Senators, who
were bowling to Connie Mack S
crew, 4 to 3, in the first game Of
their final doubleheader at Phila-
delphia.
About the only chance the crowd
NJ more than $4,000 in Briggs Stad-
inn had to cheer was in the late
innings when the scoreboard in
center field showed that the AS
had overcome a three-run Senator
lead and won out in extra innings.
Potter, pitching his eigh t h
straight win, had the Tigers hand
c,,ted from the start. The first
safety off his curves was single
10 left by Hank Greenberg in the
fourth inning. Roy Cullenbine con-
trbuted the second, a double to
right center in the seventh, and
that was all.
For the first six innings Potter
who had lost three previous starts
against the Tigers this season,
faced only 20 batters. Interspersed
with Greensberg's blow were two
walks, but a double play erased
Greenberg. Not until the seventh
did a Tiger reach second, and
then only because shortstop Vern
Stephens of the Browns sewed it up
in the opening frame when the
first three batters slugged Dizzy
Trout for as many clean hits and
two runs. Dizzy, making his fifth
appearance on the mound in nine
days, had little but a willing dis
position, and manager S teve
O'Neill turned him out to Craze az
ter two more hits-one Of them a
hot liner by Potter off Outlaws
glove - pushed another score
across.
Les Mueller pitched TO three
Browns in the third, getting one
out and putting the other two on
base, before he gave way to Stubby
Overmire. The veteran Gene
Moore, first man to face Overmire,
laced a single to center to bring
across the visitors fourth run be-
fore double play got him out OF

Army Declares RacketeerS Ob. kained Release of Enlisted Men
 Able Co Pay Price


 Able tO Pay Price
 Two army officers and six en- listed men are under arrest at Mitchell Field, L. l., charged with being part of a racket through which drafted men bought nedica. discharges priced at several thousand dollars each' from units assigned to overseas duty.
 Other arrests will follow, an army release stated, as the investi- gation continues.
 The army said this case has no relation to the conviction last week of Major Walter w. Radovich, an air pilot with a brilliant record, for having accepted $7,000 for ob- taining safe berthS for two enlist ed men slated for combat duty.
 Organized by Civilians None of the men involved in the conspiracy has seen overseas duty, it was explained. They were pickd up from civilian life, put into uniforms, and given desk jobs with the Army Ground Forces.
 The army said the racket had been organized by civilians, but. of course, they couldn't operate without the assistance of men in the service.
 T think we have nipped the conspiracy in the bud," declared Colonel T. c. Wold, inspector of the army air force. Tt might have been a terrible thing if permitted to go on. When we stepped in there was clear evidence that it was building up into fully organized racket"
 Wold indicated that when the investigation is completed there will be arrests of civilians, many of them persons of wealth. He pointed out that the racketeers were interested only in enlisted men whose families were able to pay fees of $7,000 upward for ob- taining discharges or transfers to safe places.

in a feed lot and contacted the packing houses at Pueblo, Rocky Ford and Denver, only to find that they could not buy his fat steers.
 They informed the rancher that under OPA orders, they can slaughter only so many thousand pounds of beef per month.
 So, after feeding his cattle in the Pueblo feed lot for three weeks, the rancher has to truck his cattle back to the mountain town of Westcliff, because no packing house would buy his cattle. Now, ask you, why do we have a meat shortage?

Bad News to Americans

An appalling lack of physical fitness among the nations woman hood is revealed in a War Depart ment report that one-third of all applicants for enlistments Tn the WACS were rejected for medical reasons.
 It was pointed out that the 33 per cent rejections indicate an even more serious health situation for women than the 40 per cent rejection rate did for men.

Government Makes First Move
Hours of Federal Employees Are
 Reduced

President Truman this week di- rected that the hours of Federal employees in all but six agencies be reduced from 48 to A weekly. The exempted agencies were told to cut hours at the earliest possible date.
 The reduction was criticized by Senator William Langer (Rep., N. Dak.), on the ground that 1t would reduce buying power, but members of Congress generally applauded 1t.

PEARL HARBOR, Jan. 10. CUP)
Admiral William F. Halsey's third
fleet got set Wednesday for another
and perhaps final showdown battle
with the remnants of Japan's fleet
after wrecking 156 enemy ships and
593 planes in eight days of raids on
her bases from Luzon to the Ryuk-
yus.
With the American invasion of
Luzon, the chips were down in the
Pacific war and most sources here
expected some climactic naval de-
velopments within the next go days.
The japanese probably will throw
most, if not all, of their remaining
battleships, carriers and other war
ships into a final effort to save
their disintegrating empire, these
sources said.
Tokyo broadcasts indicated some
surface units already may have
challenged the American seventh
fleet in the Lingayen gulf invasion
area. A severe naval and air bat
tie" was under way, one broadcast
said, but it did not make clear
whether Japanese participation was
limited to air forces.
But it was on the third fleet, with
the mighty carrier force capable of
putting 1000 or more planes in the
air at once, that the main brunt CT

Patterson Sets Drdft Call
At 10000 Men q Month

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.
(UP) - Undersecretary o f
War Robert P. Patterson said
Tuesday that inductions into
the armed forces will have
to be jumped to approXi-
mately 10000 a month to
meet military demands.
Testifying before the house mill
tary affairs committee on work or
fight legislation for men from the
ages of 18 to As, Patterson said
that during the first half of 1945.
100000 additional persons will be
needed in the war effort-900. 900
for military service. and 100000 in
war production and war supporting
activities.
DOUBLES PREVIOUS SET-UP
This would put the rate of induc-
tions at 10000 a month. almost
doubling previous expectations of
selective service that January and
February incluctions would run be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 a month.
Patterson and Undersecretary of
Navy Ralph A. Bard indorSed a
bill by Chairman Andrew J. May
CD Kentucky, of the military af-
fairs committee, for work or fight
regulations for all deferred men be-
tween 18 anG As, but added that
there is a vital need for national
service in its broadest aspects as
by President Roose-
velt in his annual message.
I'm the past we-by that l mean
the government-have resorted to
half way measures. not furnishing
a quick solution to impediments,"
Patterson said. There have been
innumerahle instances where pro-
