(BY HUGH ruLLERToNj

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Predic- tions dor whatever you think they are worth) from folks who claim they have the hot dope but don't want their names used
 That Mickey Owen will be re- instated soon and will reJoin the Dodgers. Sounds far-fetched, but Mickey, who was the highest-paid player in the Mexican League, must have had some idea that he'd get back before he left Mexico)
 2-That Bob Teller will receive a Llank check from the Pasquels, like the enc offered Ted Williams, dur ing the off season.
 3-That Cecil Travis, first ap- proached in Havana during spring training and contacted since then in the Washington dugout by a Pasquel agent, will sign a five year contract to play in Mexico before next season.

erstown. Elkton. Keedysville and
Williamsport moved clock hands for

Six Eastern States and parts of

worked on daylight time.

per cent and intended to bring it
up at the Wednesday meeting of
the Board of Aldermen.

Teas to Collect Food
For Starving Are Launched

The first of a series of Sunday af-
ternoon teas by which it is believed
direct aid to starving families abroad
can be sponsored on a sustained
basis, was held yesterday in Ia
koma Park at the home of Mrs.
Edith Hayes, 20 Westmoreland ave-
nue.
With approximately 500 items COL
lected at the first block gathering
a tea has been scheduled for next
Sunday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Robert Carlisle, 109 Maple ave-
nue., and the following Sunday at
the home of Mrs. w. F. Woodruff
l9 Westmoreland avenue.
The idea for providing direct re-
lief to families abroad originated
with Mrs. Hayes. Rather than at
tempt assistance through large Or
ganlzations, she feels that within
any block persons have either per-
sonal knowledge or have heard of
individuals in foreign countries who
are without food. By repeating the
teas within each block she believes
that assistance can be provided
regularly to the same families, thus
giving them more than temporary
aid.
The group has been organized as
the Takoma Branch of the Mont
gomery County Block System of Di-
rect Distribution of Food to Fami-
lies Abroad. Mrs Hayes, who can
be reached by telephoning Sligo
2231, said she would furnish details
to others who may be interested in
sponsoring similar events.

Bread Supplies
Cut, but Bakers
Doubt Crisis
Variety Products
Gone as Result
Of Flour Reduction

Washington bakers today Wis
ualized shortened bread supplies
beginning Immediately, but
doubted strongly that this area
would be affected by anything
like a famine"
Variety products, such as rolls,
ralsin bread and the like, virtually
had vanished as far as large baking
firms were concerned. Returns"
also were eliminated.
A bakery industry spokesman said
rye flour would be available in fairly
plentiful supply to offset the cur
tailed supplies of wheat -four, and
used that factor as an argument
against the prospect of serious
shortage.
Unable to Predict Effect.
"Of course" he continued, I'VE
are unable to estimate definitely
what shipments of wheat flour we
Will get, as the effects of the Gov
ernment's order begins to be mani
tested. But I seriously doubt any
such eventuality as a famine"
A nationally controlled bakery
spokesman said "all we know is that
we have been curtailed 25 per cent
OF our normal flour shipments and
we are still baking" He said his
bakery was eliminating variety
products" as was happening among
other bakers.
One official emphatically warned
against alarm" I'VE won't be get
ting every kind of bread we might
ike In the next three months" he
said, but If everybody plays ball
there will be enough to 60 around"
Reduction Still Studied.
SO lar there are no plans to re-
duce the size or weight of the STAN
dard bread loaf, it was generally
apparent, but such a contingency
has been considered.
One OF the factors which prevent
bakers from forecasting exactly the
future output is the fact number
OF flour mills are closed from the
time being to compensate for the
cutback made necessary because the
governments curtailment order
was retroactive to April /.
When the spring wheat crop is
harvested and gets to the mills,
most baking industry officials be-
lieve the shortage will be eased. The
general opinion was that by Au-
gust the normal baking production
could be resumed.
Meanwhile rye -four and cereals
will help to alleviate the situation,
they said, even though it may mean
juggling of the routine diet by
housewives.
