 In these instances, the President said, he will ask Congress for ad- ditional legislation.
 | Under questioning as to whether this was a step in his promise to cooperate with the new Republican controlled Congress, the President said that this was cooperating with Congress
 The President emphasized that the termination of the period Of | hostilities did not have the effect of terminating the State of War itself
 Nor, he said, does it terminate the States of Emergency declared by President Roosevelt on Sept. 8, l939 and May 27, 194i

Pasque| BIames Griff,

Strife in Game
BY Jock Hond
Associated Press Sports Writer


NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Bernardo
Pasquel of the fabulous Mexican
Pasquel brothers believes current
owner player negotiations prove his
theory that baseball in the United
States Is 100 years behind the
times"
Declining to take any credit for
the new deal that baseball is Offer
ing the players in the form of
contract reforms, the mustachioed
vice president of the Mexican
League recalled he had pointed to
the sports "antiquated" methods
six month ago
Why is it that Philadelphia al
ways finishes last? He demanded.
The pennants always go to New
York, Boston, st. Louis, Chicago
or Brooklyn. We do things diff
ferent and move the players around
to make. what you call, balance"
| Bernardo has just seen the st.
Louis Cards and Brooklyn Dodgers
fighting for the National League
pennant. He wasn't impressed.
No Series without Mexico.
"Our league leader. Tampico, can
play any team you have here" he
insisted, 'and they don't have one
big Lacquer in their lineup. How
can you call your series real World
Series? Why the Mexican fans will
/ just laugh at you United States
champs, yes. World champs, no
Not unless you play Mexico"
Was there any chance of a peace
settlement with organized baseball?"
Bernardo was asked.
Not until Mr.. Chandler, Griffith
and Hickey make satisfaction. They
speak badly of the Mexican League,
say we are not correct. We are like
the light of day.
They need peace. What do we
care, We have all the players We need
and there are plenty more anxious
to come. There will be no peace un-
I'll we get satisfaction from Chand-
ler Griffith and Hickey
The only way that will be done
is for Mr.. Chandler to 60 to Mexico
himself"
Still After Big Names"
Although Pasquel is in town en-
route to Europe on a pleasure jaunt,
he was thinking of 1947 in Mexican
baseball.
The Mexican fan wants the big
names, the biggest you have" Ber-
nardo explained. There are only
four or five big names that we would
want, young fellows with big names.
Maybe Newhouser, Feller, Pesky and
Ted Williams. Greenberg? No, we
want younger men.
Williams can come any time. He
told me in Havana last spring that
he would talk to us before he signed
for next year. We expect him to
come down to Mexico on a visit
sometime after the season. After
all, there can be no harm in his
coming to Mexico for a visit, no?
AS I told him in Havana we would
just say to him, write down, what
you want and we will give it to
yoll'"

their most recent crucial series
which ended yesterday with a 81
Cardinal triumph. The Cards also

Cubs IN the current campaign.
AS for the Dodgers, yesterday was
a day they do not care to remember
IN any shape, form or manner. Not
only did they drop the game and
the series to their arch-rivals, but
lost the services of Pete Reiser tenn
porarily.

head against the left-field concrete
wall in a vain attempt to snare a
drive off the bat of Whitley Kurow-
ski in the fifth inning. He was re-

house, thence to hospital. where
X-rays were to be taken today.
Although the injury was not be-

Strong Favorites
For Tank Title

powerful l2-man squad from Hawaii
ruled the strong favorite to capture
the National A. A. U. senior mems

three-day stand today.
More than 200 swimmers are en-
tered in postwar's first big splash,
but the confusingly-named Hawaii
University Swim Club, paced by
record-smashing Bill Smith, ap-
peared to pack the punch to become
one of the first national champion
ship teams from outside continental
United States.
Not all of the hula squad are from
Hawaii University; they include
former university stars who have
come to roost in Honolulu. Back
stroke favorite Harry Holiday. ex-
Michigan, and breastStroker Ralph
Wright, erstwhile college of Pacific
ace, are examples.
Smith is the 21-year old son of an
Irish-born Honolulu policeman who
gained most of his swimming
prestige at Ohio State. The stocky
Smith, claimant to world records in
the 200, 400 and 8O0-meter races,
has his eye on the 100 meters this
week end. A few weeks ago, he
bettered by a fifth Johnny Weiss
muller'S long time standard of :578
seconds.

slated for Sunday, probably will in

added with the entry of teams from
