Says He Wants Plan
Covering All Men in
Majors and Minors
By Burton Hawkins
Star Sioff correspondsnt

ORLANDO, Fla. Feb. 2T-Presi.
dent Clark Grif1th of the Washing
ton Baseball Club today denied
charges repeatedly made by Larry
MacPhail, president Of the New York
Yankees, that Grifith is opposed to
a pension for baseball players. Not
only is he not against pension for
players, Griffith said today, but he
also wants q plan much more ex-
tenSive than the one recently
adopted by the major leagues.
Grifnth said he doesn't like the
present pension setup, but only be-
cause 1t isn't extensive enough. He
wants 1t to cover all players, past
as well as present, and in the minors
as well as in the majors. He is
plugging for q plan that would helm
those who need it most, he said.
The Nat president claims that those
players who have been In the ma
Jors the longest would benefit the
most, and they probably would need
1t the least. And he also wants the
pension setup to be handled by the
baseball people themselves, suggest
ing an agent Of the commissioner.
rather than by an insurance com.
pany.
Blasts MacPhail Again,
MacPhail was quoted in press dis-
patches from San Juan, Puerto Rico,
yesterday as saying that Griffith had
written all major league club owners
attacking the pension. That attack
from MacPhail was inspired, Griffith
believes, by Griffith's recent predic-
ton that the Yankees would fold
before midseason because Of the
many exhibition games they are
playing.
But Grifath came back with an
other blast at MacPhail today. T
don't pay any attention to any COM
ment from Mr.. MacPhail," he said.
don't take him seriously.
IT was opposed to the present pen
sion plan and I remain opposed to
1t, because 1t chiefly benefits the
players who make the most money.
I want plan to take care of the
little fellows in baseball as well as
the high-salaried men. The present
plan doesn't take care OF anybody
who has been in the major leagues
less than five years.
Wants Needy Players Aided.
ut does not take care of minor
league players or players of the
past. It takes care of only a handful
OF players, most of whom won't need
help IN later life. I want a pension
plan to take care Of those ex-players
who are needy and those who may
be needy in the future.
mike Martin. who has been with
me for AZ years, can not benefit
under the present pension plan be-
cause he has been shifted from the
active list as a trainer to become q
scout. That obviously is unfair.
They are paying an insurance com.
pany tremendous premium to op-
crate the plan, whereas 1t should
have been operated by an agent Of
the baseball commissioner.
"It is my opinion that the pres
ent pension plan falls far short of
taking care Of men who need money
most. I would like to see a pension
plan revamped to take care of all
players, past and present, and In
minor as well as major leagues"

Say Can Save BdbY
Pigs by blowing
Rules Of Foundation

In the wake of the disastrous
losses of baby pigs last spring,
the American Foundation for
Animal Health recently an
nounced a new drive to save
more of the pigs from this falls
crop.
A million extra pigs, to help
relieve the pork shortage and
compensate for spring losses,
was the announced goal of the
campaign-and every farmer in
the country was urged to do his
part.
Seven steps to assure health
Ter itters and a higher rate of
survival were recommended by
the foundation:
"(D Provide clean ground
and clean, dry shelters for sows
and pigs
"(2) Feed brood sows a bal
anced ration ahead of farrow-
ing time and during the nurs-
ing period. The ration should
provide plenty of animal pro-
teins, vitamins and minerals,
including alfalfa.
"(3) Keep the sows comfort
able and clean, free from lice
and mites; but force them to
exercise during CESSATION period.
"(4) Have the farrowing pens
properly constructed; if the
weather is chilly, provide brood
er pens for the pigs,
"(5 Have the new pigs vac
cinated against hog cholera be-
fore the fall outbreaks of chol-
era begin.
"(6) Prevent influenza losses
by avoiding overcrowding and
dusty floors, and providing
proper ventilation without
drafts.
"(O Feed clean soil to pigs
for the first three weeks, to
guard against anemia or
thumps; feed a good, balanced
ration from 10 DAYS on"

Travel in Glacier
Park Sets New
Record This Yedr

Glacier National parks rec
ord travel is expected to con-
tinue well into September and
October and numbered over
300, 900 this coming week, it was
stated recently.
Superintendent J. w. Emmert
commented that the closing
date for Glacier vacationers will
actually be some time in late
October or early November
when Logan pass is finally
blocked by deep snow. Last year
the pass was open until October
&c.
Private accommodations are
available on Lake Mcdonald
and in the towns adjacent to
the alpine playground. Autumn
visitors see Glacier at what To-
cal residents consider it's most
colorful time. Early in Septem-
ber the larch begins turning
to gold while other foliage
changes into hues of crimson
and yellow. These colors, blend
ing with the green of the dense
coniferous forests, give a strik-
ing contrast to the rock and
fresh white snow on the peaks.
The absence of summer crowds
along the roads and trails lends
an atmosphere of tranquility
that is broken only by the mur-
muring and rushing of streams.
An estimated 5000 Labor Day
vacationers entered the recre-
atlonal area as compared with
1892 a year ago. Park travel

AS service to veterans IN the
community, this newspaper will pub
lish weekly column of news briefs
from the Veterans Administration.
For further information, veterans
should contact or write their near
est VA contact office at Rm. 3U,
P. o. Bldg, Billings.
The 10 questions that World
War II veterans ask most fire.
quently about job training ben
efits under the G. I. bill were
answered today by Veterans ad-
ministration.
Veterans asked the questions
in a study that VA conducted
recently to learn how much
they know about their federal
benefits. The questions and an
swers follow:
@. How much subsistence is
paid for on-the-job training
and what is the effect of the
wage ceiling?
A. Veterans in job-training
under the G. I. bill receive $65
month if they have no de-
pendents or 500 a month if they
have one or more dependents
If they are earning SITS with
out dependents) or 5000 with
dependents) exclusive of their
subsistence allowances, they
are not entitled to VA subsist-
ence payments under the law
Q. What is the difference be
tween on-the-job training and
apprentice training?
A. The field of on-the- job
training is almost limitless It
includes any job, except those
of recognized trade status, that
has been approved by a state
approving agency. The period
OF job-training must not be less
than three months and more
than two years. Apprentice
training Is similar to other Job
training, but it only covers Ger
tain skilled trades of an ap-
prenticeable nature. Instead OF
training under an employer, as
Is the case of a veteran in job
training, the vetetran-appren-
tice trains under an apprentice
ship council in accordance with
the standards established by the
council governing apprentice
ship in each trade. Also, ap-
prentice training may run to a
maximum of four years.
@. Does VA find a job-train-
ing place for the veteran?
A. VA does not find an en-
ployer for any veteran who de-
sires to enter job-training un-
der the G. I. bill. However, vet
erans may get the assistance OF
state, municipal or other en-
The Hardin tribune-herald., 1947-09-04

ployment agencies in locating
a job-training establishment.
Q. How are places of job
training approved and how does
veteran find out what estab-
lishments are approved.
A. Training establishments
are approved by state approx
ing agencies for job training
under the G. I. bill. All VA Of
ficeS maintain a list of ap-
proved establishments in the
area in which they are located.
@. What tools and equipment
does VA furnish on-the-job
trainees?
A. VA may pay for those
tools and equipment that are
needed by other trainees for
satisfactory pursuit of their
training course.
@. Will VA pay tuition for a
veteran attending high school
while he is in job-training?
A. Yes, provided his course
OF study is related to the vo-
cation for which he is training,
or If the high school course is
prescribed and recommended as
a part of his job-training.
@. What happens if the en-
ployer dismisses the veteran
from his job-training situation?
A. The veterans training sta
tus is terminated and his sub
sistence allowance ceases. It is
then up to the veteran to seek
another place of employment
with approved job-training pro-
grams
@. What should the veteran
do If he is not satisfied with
the job-training he receives?
A. That is a matter for the
veteran to decide for himself,
but 1t might be advisable for
him to seek the counseling Of
a VA training officer. He can
always discontinue his training,
or, with VAS permission, he
can switch to another training
establishment.
@. What does VA do to make
sure the veteran is receiving
SoOO training!
A. Under the law, periodic in
spections and checks of train
ing establishments are required
IN accordance with nation wide
training and approval stand
@. If the veteran finishes a
job training course and has
entitlement time left, may he
enroll in another job-training
course or may he GO to school
tor the remainder Of his en-
titlement?
A. The veteran may use any
remaining entitlement either for
tob-training or for educational
training with VAS prior ap-
proval.

On Weed Control

and hold them in check. After
two or three years in alfalfa q
field may be plowed safely and
put into the regular crop rota-
tionS or row crops and grains
without the possibility of cJlti-
waiting again for weeds for a
number of years.
planting a weed area to row
crops after just one year Of
cultivation and then treating
recurring spots of weed growth
with 2-4D chemical is still
largely theoretical and has not
been proven a desirable prac-
tice. Furthermore, row crop
cultivators and other field i'm
plements will tend to scatter
the infestation by dragging root
stocks over the field to clean
areas" Jacobsen stated.
He concluded by saying, per
ennial weeds have obtained
such a hold on the irrigated
lands in the Big and Little
Horn valleys that there is lit
tie hope of ever eliminating
them. BY persistent use of rec
commended practices, farmers
can, however, hold weeds in
check and obtain full produc-
tive use of their land This is
the surest program of all, as
nothing short of atomic energy
will totally eliminate perennial
weeds from Big Horn county
as many farmers hope"
