Pesky's Fine Playing on OfensiUe And Defensiue Factor in Bosox Pennant DriDe

heaped upon Pecky, who proceeded to be the eighth junior looper to rap out more than POO hits in his first year. His .331 average was phenomenal for a rookie. He also led the Boston team in triples, with nine; finished second in stolen bases with twelve; and finished sec ond to the great Williams in runs scored and batting. Pesky also proved to be a thorn to rival hitters with his snappy shortstopping. On top of this, he was voted by the Baseball Writers of America on the major league All Star team and was chosen Rookie of the Year Quite an enviable and promising record for kid!
 Johnny's brilliant career was in- terrupted as he enlisted in the armed forces along with the rest of the bulk of Boston manpower. For the following three years the Bosox sank lower and lower in the standings and could only look for ward to the termination of the war.
 Their patience was rewarded this year, however, with the return of Pesky from the Navy along with Williams, Bobby Doerr, Tex Hugh son and Dom Dimaggio.
 Pesky is a dangerous hitter be- sides being a competent fielder. He has a faculty for getting on base and with Williams following him, scores plenty of runs. Johnny's speed of foot makes him an all- around threat. He typifies the re- vised Boston scheme with his hustle, youth, and team play. Along with Doerr he forms base balls greatest keystone combina- tion. They can click off double plays with rapidity and commit many highway robberies.
 Pesky loves to slam out base hits and is presently continuing his fine pre-war slugging. He has his eyes on the future and bids fair to earn a place among the permanent stars of the game.

 US. High Court
Test Case, Other Veterans Preference Issues, To
 Be Appraised

WASHINGTON -(FP)-Super- seniority and the other problems of veterans unemployment rights will be aired before the US. Supreme Court to determine finally whether war service can override standard seniority clauses in union contracts with employers.
 In agreeing to hear the issues ar gued, the Supreme Court April l asked Solicitor General Howard J. McGrath to present the government s views as friend of the court along with the arguments of the parties con- cerned.
 Welder Is Test Case
 The case on which the nations highest tribunal will act was brought originally by a World War II vet eran, Abraham Fishgold, employed as a welder in the Sullivan Drydock & Repair Co.,, Brooklyn, N. Y.
 FishgOld went to court after the company twice laid him off in ia; vor of welders with greater senior ity. The district court upheld Fish gold's plea that the Selective Serv- ice Act assures him his job for one full year despite any greater length of service of the other weld CTS.

 WASHINGTON, D. C.-AFL President William Green has been ap- pointed by American Red Cross Chair man Basil O'Connor to an advisory committee of P to review the char ter of the Red Cross.

security matters. What we. have to decide is whether they are to take over the crucial administrative powers completely.
 Lessens Security
 Giving the military top hand in this matter would tend to lessen and not to enhance our national security.
 Generals are experts in the em- plOyment of weapons. But deUeI- Opment of new weapons has been almost entirely the work of civil ians. Simon Lake, civilian, invent ed the submarine; the Wright brothers, civilians, developed the airplane. The pioneer work that eliminated in the atomic bomb was done by civilian scientists. Science, they insist, cannot prograss under military control.
 The American people invested more than two billion dollars in the research and industrial development that cul- minated in the atomic bomb. The Government-yo and your neighbors under Franklin D. Roosevelt's far sighted leadership took a necessary

 The people as a whole will also benefit greatly from the medical appli- cation of atomic energy to such prob lems as the treatment of cancer and leukemia; problems which the scien- lists tell us are now coming nearer to solution
 Yet unless the people speak out loud and clear, civilian application of atomic energy may be unneces. sarily delayed. The American peo. pie, given the facts, have the vision to see ahead to the political, social and economic implications Oi atomic energy. They will demand civilian control of this basic power just as they have always insisted on civilian authority in the administra ton of justice and the shaping oi the nations foreign policy.
 1 am convinced the people of this country will not approve any legisla- tion exalting the military to a posi- tion of authority in our national af- fairs which is unprecedented in our history, repugnant to our traditions and destructive to our principles.

representing the people.
 Certain of my colleagues feel that the control of atomic energy constitutes a problem essentially different from any previously en- countered in the history of the republic. It is suggested that to- days problem bears no relation to our previous successful ex- perience in developing military projects and operations under the control of a civilian Congress, a civilian President, and civilian Sec retaries of War and Navy. Some good Americans, both within Con- gress and outside, have expressed fears that opponents of military control of atomic energy may not have proper appreciation of na- tiOnal security.

2Burning Autos Found
In Prince Georqes

Reports that two automobiles had
been set afire in nearby Maryland
sent District Automobile Squad
detectives hurrying into Prince
Georges County early today in a
fruitless search for auto thieves
who have been stripping and burn
ing stolen cars in this area recently.
Both cars, one stolen and one
borrowed, bore District license plates
and were burned severely. Detec-
tives said, however, that both fires
apparently were accidental and did
not appear to be the work of the
ring Of vandals which has been
operating in the District and South
ern Maryland all summer.
The fires were spotted by county
residents by the glow of flames
against the sky. The first car, a
taxicab owned by Richard Fuqua,
1414 v street NV, was stolen some
time after II o'clock last night from
in front of his home and caught
fire on River road near Tuxedo, Md.
Police deduced that the thieves
short-circuited wires to start the
car and the wires became ignited
while the thieves were driving.
The second car caught fire at
Greenbelt, Md, when its borrowers
backed it onto a concrete culvert
and punctured the gasoline tank.
Some one struck a match to examine
the damage, dropped the match
in the spilled gasoline and the au-
tomobile caught fire, police said.
