very little to say today enroute to
min the Mexican baseball league
for a reputed 5000, 900 for five
years.

Told reporters at the hotel where
he and Freddy Martin were settled
for the weekend. 1--WE just don't

s+reak without a loss this year has
,ome to an end with the Cardinals.
I've pitched my last game for
them" he told fellow players

note for Schoendienst:
so long, Red" it said. Keep
hitting those line drives. I'll see
YOU next winter and We'll go hunt
ing. Best of luck"

 Director Joseph Shofner has done fine job in the short time of organization in getting first class band whipped into top shape He and his band mem- bers deserve a vote of thanks. We hope that the band continues to function for many years It is worthwhile civic venture and deserves the support of everyone.

R0ckets-and Tomorrow
(New York Times

If there was one weapon of the last war with the principle of which every American was familiar it was the rocket. Roman candles and skyrockets were as indigenous to Fourth of July celebrations before Pearl Harbor flord oratory and pink lemonade Even national anthem sings of the rockets red glare; and it is not symbolic allusion.
 Yet this country the last of the great warning Powers to recognize the importance of rockets in mod ern warfare and to begin construction of them It was not until mid-1940, as the Government report on rocket ordnance points out that rocket project of scale undertaken It was not until l943 that Army and Navy richards began to plead for all the rockets that could be built It tribute to American technical skill that at the end of the war we had caught up due in no small part to the experimental data furnished by the British It is tribute to our military people that had not, prior to crisis investigated the modern possibilities of this centuries old weapon.
 The Governments rocKet report summarizes the important part that rockets played in the winning of the war It annotates the visual evidence already had been given through the newsreels and still photo graphs of the terrifying aspect of this newold weapon report valuable well interesting, though only if read into it the lessons that are plain to see the fact that Army officer up to 1940 had to carry on rocket experiments through his resources the fact that when Dr. c. N. Hickman in June 1940, wrote letter propheticaly forecasting the develop ment of rockets for the services expressed only mild interest,"; the fact that it the haired scientists and not the practical men in uniform who had the vision and produced the reality.
 New weapons and perfection of old ones char acterize every For time after each war the impetus continues to carry along the road of re- search and innovation Then inertia sets in and suffer
 hardening of the professional military arteries Peace time military organization is almost nsuperable barrier to independent thinking The exceptions to the general rule generally unpopular and suffer in rank and prestige There is little place for the un- orthodox the dreamer in the peaectime Army and Navy and Air Force practical application of the lessons spelled out in the Rocket Report would be the inclusion of many civilian scientists possible in the research organizations that being continued, and policy of promotion and encouragement for the officer who is continually dissatisfied with things they and is constantly asking himself and others T wonder if this would work. It that sort of people who achieved the impossible in the conflict just ended It is they who have difficulty finding a sympathetic audience the crisis is passed

 of the atomic bomb moreover, has been directly re- sponsibe for the effort to evolve workable inter national policy toward atomic energy as exempfied in the Acheson report
 It is true of course that men who have made a career of science may be unyersed in the ways of politics and the technique of compromise. But 1t is likewise true that most politicians by training are not competent to pass judgment the ramitlcatons of scientific discoveries Were the decisions left to them alone, there would be unfortunate tendency to discard the important long view in favor Of more immediate material considerations Many Of our best minds are found in scientific pursuits. While that in itself does not make the opinions of scientists on international matters the final word does warrant hearing and healthy respect for them which Con gres thus far has wisely given. It is not necessary for scientists to become potcians-though it might help to have scientific thinking in politics But important for scientists to continue to expound their convictions the effects of science on inter- national policy Only by thorough weighing and compounding of such views intelligent policy be made.

2 At this pcint Henry Wallace spoke cut and said it would be un- fL- yunate If it leaked out to the French people that the United States had any major political con- alterations in mind in making it's loan. This brought rejoinder from Secretary Vinson.
 ''The half billion dollar loan to China was a political loan and we made it on the basis of General Marshall's plea"
 If I had been present." Wallace snapped back, T would have vot- cd against the China loan"
 q At this point, the banker from Utah, Mariner Eccles, jumped into the fray again.
 T think it would be very un- fortunate he said, ito make 8 loan just before an election in or der to influence it. Besides, there would be no assurance that il would work out that way. The French might resent the fact that we were trying to influence the election. We learned that lesson the hard way in Latin America"
 Then, looking at Assistant Sec retary of State Clayton, formerly the worlds largest cotton broker Eccles concluded:
 Suppose the election goes wrong Would we still give it?"

Scientists and Politics
Washington Post

Some rather disturbing implications arise from the view expressed by Dr. Isaiah Bowman before the National Academy of Sciences that scientists should remain aloof from helping determine international policies Dr. Bowman, who is President of Johns Hopkins University, holds that science can reach far in affecting international affairs but when enters the field of policy making it is at loss It then enters field complex man itself. The assump- ton seems be that scientists should sit idly by and watch the adoption of policies they believe to be wrong. We cannot agree It is of great importance to welfare of the Nation believe that scientists be encouraged to state their views fully political matters in which science is involved.
 As a case in point there is the pending McMahon bill control of atomic energy The bill 1t stands is good ore If scientists had not spoken up vg- orosy both in their behalf and for enlightened national policy toward atomic energy there is good reason believe that the impossbly restrictive May Johnson bill would already have been passed The considered opinion of scientists the potentiaites

 Eccles then moved that the loan De held up until after the election. However, Clayton, having in mind d promise the State Department had already made to the French Government, protested.
 We've stalled on this for six weeks already" Clayton said We can't stall any longer"
 Eccles then moved that the French loan be scaled down to $500 100000, but was over-ruled.
 In the end, the Committee ap- proved the entire S65O,000,00O cred it from the Export-Import Bank, with some side adjustments regard ing Lend-Lease.

SATURDAY, JUNE l
HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 This is good day to plan or begin a journey. Travellers are as sured of comfort and safety. Grand mothers are clearly favored under this configuration.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Those in process of making ma jor changes in their business or ganizations may proceed with con- fidence. No interruptions can ma terially alter the course or long check the progress of the now dawning national prosperity.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Labor leaders who disregard the public welfare and preach a doc urine of Union before Bible and Flag are destined to fail their fol- lowers and end their careers in obscurity. Abuse of privilege in a democracy usually brings it's own penalty.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 
 Those who profess to believe that Russia's attitude in international affairs has made the one-world concept out of date and unrealls- tic are likely to be astonished by developments soon to be revealed. Persons whose birthdate this IS are promised by the stars: A year of increasing understanding of world problems and satisfactory adjust ment in their own lives to the new trends of civilization.
 Children born today will have high ideals, strong characters, good minds and rugged bodies. They can achieve outstanding success in their primary field of activity.
