BASEBALL:
Gets FDR's Nod

With the game having been given
presidential approval provided it did
not interfere with the conduct of the
war, major league baseball mag
mates began laying plans for the
1945 season, with their chief concern
being to scrape together teams
from the dwindling manpower pool.
Although the clubs were expected
to rely again on discharged or re-
jected army personnel, their plans
were complicated by recent govern
ment regulations calling for re-ex-
animation of 4-Fs and work or hght
orders to men under SO. Some of
these men, however, intend to enter
essential industry and arrange for
playing ball on the outside.
Because of the need for person
mel, kids about II will
have a wonderful opportunity to
play in the big leagues" said Clark
Griffith, owner of the Washington
Senators.

EUROPE:
Greatest Offensive

Their lines shattered and their
border lands imperilled by what was
described as the greatest offensive
in history, Germany's armies Of the
east fell back for a feverish reor-
ganization in an effort to stem the
Russian tide that threatened to roll
right on to Berlin.
Although the Russians plunged
forward all along the sprawling
Polish plains, the drive of their First
Ukrainian army under Marshal
Konev on the rich industrial prov
ince of Silesia to the southwest con-
stituted the greatest immediate dan
ger to the Germans, with the enemy
frankly admitting it's loss would seri-
ously impair their ability to continue
the war. In an effort to shore up the
Russian advance there, Heinrich
Himmler's home army was called
into action under an intensive hail
