By BILL BECKER Press Sports Writer)


 The Los Angeles Angels were fly ing high with a handsome three game lead in the Pacific Coast League today
 The Angslc got way up thar by taking two cut of three from their nearest rivals, San Francisco, over the weekend. The Angels won the elongated series, five games to three.
 Stellar southpaw Cliff Chambers clinched the series by besting the Seals ace, liphthander Bob Chesnes, 3-2, as Bob Joyce edged Red Adams and Don Osborn.
 Chambers, who famed six in notching his third win in four starts against San Francisco, drove in the deciding run, singling home his batterymate Eddie Malone after the catcher had tripled with two on in the second inning. That was all the scoring off Chesnes, but it was enough.
 Dino Restelli's outfield fly SCOT ing Neill Sheridan in the first ex- tra innlng-the eighth won the shortened nightcap.
 Third place Oakland split with HcllywoodS Stars to wind up five games off the pace The Oaks ral- lied Ter two runs in the ninth to take the opener, 8-7, but the Stars bounced back to win the finale, 8l and the series, five games to three
 San Diego TwO-Timsd
 Sacramento two- timed San Diego, with Eddie Fitzgerald, the prize rookie catcher. driving in the win ming run in each game. The scores were 5-4 and 2-1
 This gave the Solons an even break on the series, four games apiece, which also was the way Portland-Seattle wound up The Beavers took yesterdays opener TO, then succumbed to Seattle, 3-2

REGULAR FURNITURE CARE
ADVISED BY SPECIALIST

Regular care is the only way to
keep your furniture looking like
new" says Louise r. Whitcomb,
extension home management spe-
cialist for the University of Della
ware. Miss Whitcomb cautions
that if dust is allowed to collect
on highly polished surfaces it will
scratch the surface and recon-
mends frequent busting, particu-
larly of places where there is per-
sonal contact such as arms of
chairs, door knobs, table tops,
books and magazines.
In caring for mahogany and wal
nut furniture, polish once a week
with a mixture of equal parts of
linseed oil, turpentine and vine
gar. The vinegar tends to enrich
the color of the wood, the tur-
pentine loosens the dirt and also
helps the oil to get into the wood
thus preventing the wood from be-
coming dry. Use a soft cloth tC
apply this mixture and remove any
excess with a second clean polish
ing cloth. This polish will darker

Even six or eight months ago al
most anything would find an i'm
mediate and profitable market. The
backlog for manufactured articles
CT all kinds still seemed virtually
inexhaustible. That is no longer
true.
Small, private aircraft are an
especially outstanding example
of the change. Following the war,
a long list of manufacturers rushed
into production. Some optimists
seemed to think that the personal
plane would become nearly as
abundant as the automobile. What
actually happened was that the
market became saturated in a re-
markably short time. Where, less
than a year ago, new small planes
sold at premiums, OVerStocked deal
ers are now offering them at a dis
count. At least one maker has aban-
! dOned production of a once heavily
advertised model. Used plane pri-
ces-due in large part to the sale of
surplus government ships - have
sagged. The usual reason given for
the public's reluctance to buy
planes is the high operating cost,
which is far beyond the means of
the average family.
Many other commodities are in
the same boat. Small radios, for in
stance, are a glut on the market.
Prices have been slashed. And
where, in the recent past, it was
next to impossible to find a stand
ard-brand radio-phonograph COM
binatiOn, you can now take your
pick of scores of models and styles
in all price brackets. And many a
buyer is showing an unanticipated
reluctance to invest in expensive
equipment.
This condition is not entirely re-
stricted to luxury and semi-luxury
lines. Dry goods have run into con-
sumner resistance. Sheets and other
linens, once among the scarcest OF
items, have tended to move slowly
Stores report that women in increa-
sing numbers are turning thumbs

ening in the "SOft-gOodS" field. AnC
that, in turn, means reduced EN-.
ployment and worker income. As
retail and wholesale inventories
build up, orders to manufacturers
go down.
This is not universal by any
means. The automobile makers, ac
cOrding to Business Week, haven
even made a dent in their marke
as yet" Recently car output took {
drop, due to lack of flat steel. Blu
it is being increased as rapidly a!
the producers can get the necessar!
materials. All car dealers seem tt
have sufficient orders on thei
books to last for the rest of thi'
year, and perhaps well into th'
next. Even so, the dealers-as wei
as the makers-are seriously con
cerned over what will happen whel
the backlog is used up and the,
have to really start selling one,
more. Thousands of people have re
luctantly abandoned plans for buy
ing new cars-because of the pric
tags.

tor was their inaccuracy They
could be aimed to hit a section of
city-but they could not be con-
trolled with sufficient accuracy to
strike particular target, such as
power plant or an arsenal. Pres
ent efforts are directed at per-
fecting the guiding equipment and
giving them the accuracy of ar
tillery.
Pilotless aircraft, controlled by
extremely advanced radio equip
ment, is another subject of inten-
sive research. Planes are infinite
ly cheaper and more abundant
than crews-at the end of the last
war we were producing aircraft
much more rapidly than we could
train men to man them. If truly
efficient and reliable pilotless air
force could be developed, the dead
liness of war in the air would be
multiplied MANIFOLD. Enormous
fleets could be sent against enemy
targets, and the losses would be
in material, not in men.
At intervals there is discussion
of the possibilities of bacteriOlogi-
cal warfare. Even in the first war
it was rumored to be impending
though nothing came of it. The
problems in the way are enor-
mous-foremost among them being
some means of protecting the u.s.
er's own people from retaliation
in kind. Germs do not respect
boundaries. Again, means of dis
tributing bacteria may be an un'
solved problem. But in these days
when science seems to be on the
verge of outdistancing the ability
of man to control it, no innova'
ton can be considered impossible
And no one can believe that in wal
of determination, any belligeran
would let moral scruple stand il
the way of the employment of any
killer
A little news has seeped out con
cerning the u. S. War Depart
ment's plans in the event of an
other war. The atomic bomb hai
made it necessary to plan on thu
widest possible decentralization
of authority-if one city or a dozel
cities were wiped out, there woult
have to be a super command pos
ready to take over elsewhere
There has been much serious dis
cussion of putting certain essen
tial industrial plants underground
either in. natural or .constructe,
caves. The most of this would b
incredible-but no one yet seem
to have devised any other defens
against the A-bomb.
Perhaps the almost inconceiv
able destructiveness of weapon
now being developed will, in tn
long run, be an assurance of peac
for the simple reason that an
other war might literally mean tn
destruction of civilization. Gener
, al Eisenhower touched on this viv
idly, when he said: "The earth ma
becNne a Towering garden or
, sterile desert-and we may max
the difference"

light woods such as pine or ash.
Beeswax mixed with turpentine is
recommended instead for those

Miss Whitcomb recommends that

sidential building. 1t has slowed
everywhere, and in some sections
has come to a virtual Standstlll. IL
is holding up best in rural areas
where cost of building is somewhat
lower than in the metropolitan dlS-
tricts. 1t is at it's worst in SUBURBS
of cities, where extremely amol-
tiOus plans for home developments
have not matured. The need tor
homes is as high and perhaps nigh
er than ever-but prices, whlch
buyers consider out of all reason
stop sales.
Industrial building has done
much better. Many companies nave
had to expand to meet their COM
mittments and to maintain their
competitive positions, but a num-
Der of important businesses have
announced that expansion plans
have been curtailed, or have been
postponed in the hope that costs
will come down.
All in all, production is still at a
high level. But the dark spots In the
picture are becoming more numer-
Gus. The government economists
are frankly worried. Unemployment
has not reached a serious level yet
but it has been increasing. A drop
in the amount of overtime WORK
available has hit many working
families hard. This is having its
obvious effect on purchasing and on
industrial production. Millions ol
people living on fixed or semi-fixeo
incomes find that the bare necessi-
ties of living absorb all they re-
ceive. No one has found the solu
! ton to such problems as these.
