.USO SIKH Birthday
Observed Yesterday

Yesterday a the sixth birthday
of the USO, incorporated Feb. 4.
1941 as a war emergency project.
In Wilmington the first unit open,
ed its doors to servicemen in
April, 1912 in the USO building.

During the height of the war
there were eight USO units in the
city including recreation clubs for
men and women in the armed
forces, information centers,
lounges, and clubs for war pro
duction employees.
Richards said 10, 900 servicemen
have been visiting the USO each
month since the reopening in
September for weekend activities.
In one day during the peak of the
war in 1913 over 5000 service men
and women were served in a "a
hour period.
During the war the USO had
3,035 operators in continental
Americas and possessions of the
United States. Camp shows, a part
of the overall organization operat-
ed in all combat areas where
American troops were stationed.
A large part of the success of this
work was due to the n million
faithful volunteers who have as
sisted, Richards said.
The USO has demonstrated that
a program involving peoples Of
different faiths can successfully
work together for common good,
The USO, as a war emergency
agency will terminate in Deem

BROOKLYN PREXY
RAPS YANK BOSS
Yankee Dodger Fued Con-
tinues Between Presi-
dents OF Teams

HAVANA, Cuba, March 1O-P-
Branch Hickey, president of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, came out
swinging today in the latest chap
ter of the New York Yankee
Dodger feud by demanding to know
whether there were separate rules
for his manager, Leo Durocher.
and for the rest of baseball.
Specifically, Hickey charged that
Larry MacPhail, president of the
Yankees, had two alleged gamblers
as guests at exhibition games with
the Dodgers in Grand stadium. He
said that if these men were seen
on the other side of the field be
hind the Brooklyn dugout, Durocher
would have been in hot water all
over again with Commissioner A.
B. Chandler.
Il fired Charley Dresser once"
Hickey said, Because of his as
sociation with one of these gamb-
lers. If I saw these men in the
Brooklyn ball park I would have
them thrown out. Yet there they
are as the guests of the president
of the Yankees.
Why, my own manager can't
even say hello to this actor,
George, what's his name. He
won't have anything to do with
these gamblers, or any gamblers.
But apparently there are rules for
Durocher and other rules for the
rest of baseball.
MacPhail, informed of Rickey's
charges, denied that gamblers
guests in his box.

But May Not Start
In Yankees Opener

BALTIMORE, Md, March g
W.H-Physicians at Johns Hopkins
hospital said tonight that a skin
graft will be performed on New

operation will be performed when
the wound left from an earlier
operation heals sufficiently. They
reported that DiMaggio's heel had
improved considerably since he
was admitted to the hospital more
than a week ago.
