OLYMPIC GAMES
 GO 10 HELSINKE

STOCKHOLM, June 2l. - R'- Avery Bundage, head of the Am erican delegation to the Interna- tional Olympic Committee meeting here. announced today that the committee had selected Helsinki, Finland, and Oslo, Norway, as the sites for the 1852 Olympic Games.
 The selection was made at a closed meeting of the committee this morn ing Bundage said.
 Brundage commented:
 Tn view of the fact that Helsinki was given the Olympics in l940 and prepared for them, it is not unusual, to expect they would have favor able reception for their renewed bid
 The United States cannot expect to have the Olvmpics too often. Oslo has bid for the winter Olympics mere than 10 years and it is natural that the winter games be held there, with the summer games at Heis7nki'

Perry T. Jones, who developed most of the young tennis stars who come out of Southern California, maintains that Jack Kramer is the greatest of them all. Tom Rug gierc, an Alderman in Utica, N.Y,, also is that city's boxing ard bas- ketball promoter If he wins them pennant and world champion ship, he probably will be elected Mayor. Florida race fans are wondering whats the difference since a law recently was passed which defines a professional tout as one who asks or demands compen- sation as a reward for the infor- nation or purported information The hess players figure they can get just as much wrong dope from amateurs.

 MAKING GAINS
 EN MAN(HURIA

NANhASC-, tune 2l - tP The Government reported today to have virtually abandoned Szepingkai. ard O servers predicted Chanschun, Manchurian capital city to the Northeast. might tail easy prey to a strong Red assault.
 Mukden dispatches said 6.oo0 Chinese Communists were hattling Government defenders in down. town Szepingkai, vital rail hub midway between Changchun and Mukden.
 Observers here said Changchun was faced with a shortage of men and munitions. The main burden of defense there is in the hands of the new First Army, which has had few replacements of men or equipment since it was transferred to Manehmia from Burma
 Dispatches reported Government capture of two railroad towns South of Haicheng, 90 miles South west of Mukden, itself beset on three sides by Red forces.

that travelled Is innings be-
fore the Mats won, 10, on
Bucky Harris single, Goose
Goslin's double and Joe Har-
ris' single.
Probably the most pulsat-
ing performance by a Nat,
however, was the 1886 OPEN
ing day pitching of Newsom,
when he beat the New York
Yankees, 10, on four hits.
Near-tragedy struck New
som in the fifth inning of
that game. The Yankees Ben
Chapman bunted down the
third-base line. and Ossie
Bluege pounced on the ball
like a cat. The play called
for a hard. lightning throw,
almost blind, and Newsom,
standing directly in the path
of Bluege's throw, forgot to
duck. The ball thudded
against Bobo's jaw, just be-
low the ear.

In c6 opening day games

his blessing on baseball, 13

of those were 10 contests.
The Mats won eight of the
shutouts. due chiefly to the
presence of Johnson, who was
the winning pitcher in six
of them. Bobo NewSom and
AL Crowder were other Nat
pitchers with shutouts.
Johnson, who won nine
opening day games, DOM
mates any discussion of base
ball inaugurals here. In addi-
ton to his one-hit game he
registered a two-hitter, a
three hitter and a four hitter.
Other pitchers who have
sparkled on opening day are
Lefty Grove, who pitched a
two-hit game; Red Ruffing
and Marius Russo, who tossed
three -hitters, and Newsom,
who hurled a four hitter.

the Mats three out of four
times, and President Truman
saw the Mats lose last year.
The widespread belief that
Clark Griffith inaugurated the
custom of inviting the PreSi-
dent to throw out the first
ball on opening day is er-
roneous. President Taft start
ed the now established pro-
cedure two years before Crit

the Washington club.
President Wilson was the
most enthusiastic baseball
fan among White House res
idents, frequently attending
during the regular season.
President Coolidge was the
least interested, once leaving
an opening day game after
the first inning.
And to those who play
lunches this may have sig
nificance: The Mats have won
three pennants-in 1924, 1925
and 1933-and on opening

matched the performance un-
leashed by the late Walter
Johnson In the presence of
william Howard Taft in 1910,
the first time the President Of
the United States threw out
a ball to launch the major

Stdte Chamber Of
Has MdnY
Letters of Inquiry

Almost fifty thousand re-
quests for information on
Montana's industrial and rec
reational resources have been
received at the Helena offices of
the Montana Chamber of Com
merce during the first six
months of 1947.
This compares with a total
of sixty thousand for the full
year 1916, and reflects an in
creasing awareness Of what
Montana has to offer the tour
ist and new industry, officials
of the state chamber said.
Inquiries came as a result of
the state advertising and pub
licity program of the organiza-
ton, designed to attract both
tourists and new industry to
Montana. Advertising was car
ried in several national maya
zines during last winter and
early spring, and travel and
industrial shows were held in
| Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago,
New York and Philadelphia.
Some so Experimentation, out
of-state newspapers also car
ried advertisements on various
state counties and regions, anc
the state generally. At thu
present time, travel exhibits al
the Centennial in Salt Lake
City, and in the Black Hills are
channeling tourists into Mon
tana.
State advertising and pub
licity by the Montana chamber
has been responsible for many
thousands of tourists coming tc
Montana, as well as the estab-
lishment of a considerable
number of new, smaller indust-
ries, officials of the state
chamber said.

Grass Pldnting
$500 Years Ago
:. BY Phillip F. Allan

No one knows how far back
mans efforts go in the estab-
lishment of good pastures. It is
certain that pasturage has
been an important land use
since the first domestication of
grazing animals perhaps some
5000 years ago. Agricultural
historian may not have noted
the following ancient record
which, by good fortune, may be
accurately dated. It was Gus
tomary for the kings of old
Assyria to recount their exploits
to their gods somewhat in the
manner of a letter. Thus, the
king, Sargon, told the god, As
sur, of the events of his eighth
campaign. A part of this &C
count is quoted below:
THE city of Aniashtania, the
home of his CUrsa's) herds,
situated on the border OF
Sangibute, between the cities of
Ushkaia and Tarmakisa, to-
gether with II cities of its
neighborhood, I destroyed, I
leveled to the ground; the large
timbers of this roofs I set on
fire, their crops and their
stubble I burned, their filled
up granaries I~opened and let
my army devour the unmeasur-
ed garin. Like swarming locusts
I turned the beasts of my
camps into its meadows, and
they tore up the vegetation on
which the city depended, they
devastated its plain-His pleas
ant fields, which are spread
out like a plated painted lap
Is laZuli-the surrounding plain
planted to grass and habburu,
with the chairots and horses of
my destructive advance, like
Adad I overwhelmed and made
the meadows, the support of his
horses, like plow-land.
Sargon's letter was inscribed
in TIA B. c. The land he dev-
astated was Armenia. Soil

it because the naton for its safety had to restrain the power of big corporations and rich individuals to damn the public for their purposes. The great monopoes at the turn of this century could not strike but they had power for evil less great. They could strange trade manipulate the stock market and put our people on their knees No nation could tolerate such threat to it's power.
 It is that very threat which John L. Lewis hurled against our nation and it's laws. Lewis has thundered that there can be no law to restrain him. No nation could bow before that challenge and live.
 That is something loyal men among the rank and file of American labor must understand. The prosecution of Lewis not to destroy their unions 1t was
 defense of our nation-ther nation-against anarchy It is an assertion of the fundamental rule of democracy that the welfare and safety of the whole people pre- cedeS every individual claim.
