Bill Ryan HurIs
No-Hit Contest


only undefeated outfit remaining
in the Local IL Softball League
as the second round of play gets
into full swing. Spicer to date,
has won eight contests and SUI
fered no defeats to give them a
perfect rating. They have played
several close games and have
come from behind at different
times to win victories, but with
a great spirit and large follow
ing to encourage the team,
Spicer has yet to experience the
bitter taste of defeat.
Gordon Bumper fell from the
unbeaten class in the National
Division last week but still holds
a slight edge over the Willys
Unit team for top position in
that part of the Local IL League.
The Martin-Parry outfit, un-
der the new manager Bill Bar
ber, is making a late bid for
recognition by virtue of their
last two victories in the Amer
lean Division.
In the American y
Tuesday night at st, Johns
Field, the tall Mig. Inv Ll~. -
stood off strong Gordon team
for seven innings, then lost by
the score of 6 to in an extra
inning game. Walter Wodarski
did some fine relief pitching for
Gordon to pull the game out of
the fire. Glenn Schubargo, catch
ing for Hall, drove home run
and brought in a teammate for
the outstanding performance of
the game.
Peerless Moulded Plastics did
a fine job of softballing when
they took the measure of the To-
ledo Joint Council by the tune
Of 7 to 4, The victory put the
Moulders in fourth place in the
division. After very close
game for four innings, the
Mather Spring heavy hitters
went into action to swamp the
Plaskon Division by the score of
16 to 4. The game was tied up
at the fourth frame and then
everything went the Mather
way. Another slugfest saw the
WHY'S batsmen turn on the heat
to ride rough shod over the
Industrial Heat Treat players to
take lop-sided 16 to ! victory.
Lenny Dombrowski was right
for Willys and the Heaters did
not threaten at any stage of the
seven-inning game. Martin
Parry worked hard for their
new manager and beat the Ack-
/ lin Stampers to the tune of
Y to /.
There were closer scores in
the National Division as the
Schultz Die Casters took an ex-
ira inning game from the Amer
ican Brake Shoe team by the
score of 8 to 7. The Americans
scored six runs in the seventh
inning to tie the score but in the
eighth Schultz showed a run
across the plate and then set the
opposition down without a
threat.
Spicer again won their game
against the Lakeside Biscuits
after trailing by three runs
in the third inning. Several
errors were the most important
factor in the victory which
ended z to 4 for Spicer.
In the Champion Spark Plug
DeVilbiss contest, errors again
were the cause for determining
the margin of victory when the
Spark Pluggers took advantage
of DeVilbiss bingles to take the
game by the score of IL to 6.
Bill Ryan made his debut in
the Local IL League with the
PAC nine by holding the Air
way batters hitlesS while his
teammates brought in two runs
to win a very good 2 to l vic
tory.

Bills Seek EXCL Call
# u. ). MobiIizes
By The Associated Press

Every former Serviceman under
IS years of age could be compelled
to sign up again with his Selective
Service Board under bills which
have been introduced into both
houses of Congress.
The object, the Army Times says
in a copyrighted story, lis to have
100000 men available at reception
centers within 72 hours and 100000
men in these centers within 30 days
in the event the Nation must ever
mobilize again"
The identical bills were introduced
by the heads of the Armed Services
Committees, Senator Gurney, Re-
publican of South Dakota, and Rep
resentative Andrews, Republican OF
New York
The Army Times, unofficial publi-
cation for service men, said that, in
effect, this is the administration
"only interim alternative to pro-
gram of universal military training.
Under the bill, Selective Service
would be required to prepare and
keep up a Card index on all those
who served for "any period Of time"
between September is, 1910, and
March 81, 1947.
Anyone who would be As on or be-
fore December 81, 1947, would be
exempt from the requirement.
Since Congress is hustling to wind
up its business by the end of next
week there's little likelihood Of any
action on the bills at this session.

Foreign Legion Talks
German, Not French

NEW YORK. July 10 (NANA). -
The most-spoken language in the
French Foreign Legion now is Ger
man, no longer French.
According to Swedish-b born Legion
ary Left Ekstroem, quoted by a
correspondent for Dagens Nyheter
of Stockholm, SIS Germans and the
other ones have flooded into the
legion from fear of reprisal or hum
ger. Although all nationalities are
represented in the devils, not men,
corps, Mr.. Ekstroem said he spoke
nothing but German during his half
year in the legion.
The officers, being all French, now
are the only ones to use this tongue
consistently.
Mr.. Ekstroem falsified his birth
papers to bring his age up to 81 to
get into the legion. The personal
Intervention CT King Gustav v of
Sweden got legion authorities to re-
lease the boy. But in his short spell
with the colorful desert fighters, he
underwent training at legion head
quarters, Sidi Bel Abbes, and was
then assigned to Indo-C China.
He sailed in January, 1947
packed with 5000 other troops into
the former luxury liner lie de
France. Several men died of heat
prostration in the cramped quarters
during the 18-day voyage via Suez,

YugosIavia Rejects Protest
By U. 5. on Ship Seizure
BY the Assoeiated Press

Yugoslavia has rejected the latest
American note protesting Yugoslay
seizure of nine grounded Italian
merchant ships near Trieste.
Government officials said the Yu-
goslav Foreign Office not only re-
fused to release the vessels but
expressed regret that the State De-
partment had not written closed
on the case.
The Yugoslav note, the second
dealing with the subject, contended
the first Yugoslav reply ''convinc-
ingly proved" Marshal Tito abided
by international law in condemning
the ships as war booty"
The United States has taken the
position that the ships were not
within Yugoslav waters and should
be turned over to the italian gov
ernment for disposal under the
armistice terms.
State Department officials are
preparing third and probably last
note replying to the Yugoslavs be-
fore turning over the entire matter
to the italian government to follow
up. The wrecked hulls of the
5S,0O0-ton former luxury liner Rex
is included among the ships under
discussion. Dispatches have re-
ported the Yugoslavs are disman-
tling it to sell as scrap to the Skoda

This Changing World
y. S. Proposal for japanese Treaty
Seen as Move to Cut Down Veto Power

without her-for her contribution to
the Far East victory was small
enough, to be sure-and without the
veto.
If she does attend she may
find herself for once in top-fight
international conference which she
cannot dominate with her veto-or
threat of it. There is every reason
to believe that the other members
of the Far Eastern Commission will
go along with the removal of this
major stumbling block to vital in
ternational agreements.
The American View.
The American view on the veto
in regard to the japanese treaty
is of much broader significance than
the situation in which it is revealed.
The desire for two thirds rule rep
resents to some extent recognition
of the failure of the idea of Big
Four unity, on which the veto was
based, in the belief that agreements
in which the Big -Four were at odds
would be futile-and dangerous for
world peace.
1t represents the beginning of
crystallization of the idea that rule
by two-thirds provides a more satis-
factory means of reaching interna-
tional agreement on many subjects
than does the rule by big power
unanimity.
The American Government is not
yet ready-and may not be ready
for some time yet-to abandon the
veto in the United Nations Secur-
ity Council, where its use serves a
considerably different purpose than
it does in the peace treaty machin-
cry. However, if the end of unity
among the big powers is to be rec
ognized with respect to peace max
ing, such recognition with respect to
the peace-keeping machinery may
not be far off.
AS matter of fact, 1t is becom-
ing more and more apparent that
the veto--and the threat of it-are
doing more to retard elimination of
threats to world peace than to ex-
pedite it. If that is to continue
the United Nations would be better
off operating under straight two
thirds rule.
At any rate, the American pro-
posal for the japanese treaty is an
attempt to whittle down the veto
power in international negotiations.
If the attempt succeeds the fight
can be carried farther, leaving Rus
sia to decide for herself whether to
stand out alone or go along with
the nations which want to get things
done.

Gently has made many of our
former concepts out of date"
He asked the five civilians to make
broad recommendations by January

policy to modern concepts of air
power. He called for study of
aviation manufacturing, transport.
development and Government pro-
cedures, all in their relations to
security and the economy.
The final report, he said in his
announcement yesterday must go
beyond the limits of any one phase
of aviation" and be so broad as to
assist in revising old air policies
and framing new ones.

attorney. who will be chairman;
George P. Baker, Harvard Univer-.
sity transportation professor, who

ernment will be able to carry its
fight for elimination of the veto
from consideration of the japanese
MISUNDERSTANDING therefor a two
thirds voting rule-is problematical,
in the face of certain Russian op-
position.
Whether Russian objections are
finally overridden will depend, to a
large extent, on how far the Amer
lean Government is prepared to go
in pursuit of this objective.
U. S. Holds Whip Hand.
Although the 11-nation Far
Eastern Commission has certain
powers over conduct of the occupa-
ton of Japan, the United States
continues-through Gen. MacAr-
thurs position as Allied supreme
commander-to hold the whip hand,
and could, if it were as adamant as
Moscow in some of its positions, pre-
vent any approach to peace treaty
for Japan except on the basis it pro-
poses.
A peace treaty for Japan is be-
coming more and more pressing, and
it is a big question whether the
United States will be willing to post
pone the treaty simply to gain this
point.
1t is significant in this connec-
ton, however, that the peace con-
ference now proposed will be
conducted outside the Far Eastern
Commission, where the veto pre-
walls. Russia, as a proponent of the
veto, can suit herself about attend
/ ing such a conference, where she
would have to fight tooth and nail
to make her view prevail.

Grand Jury B|ames
Chain Gang Abolition
In Killing Of Convicts
By the Associofed Press

BRUNSWICK, Ga, July ia
county grand jury has blamed
abolition of Georgia's ill-famed
chain gangs for the mass escape
attempt last week in which eight
colored convicts were slain by Off
GERS pistol and shotgun fire.
In a special 9OO-word presentment
yesterday, the jury contended the
violence would have been avoided If
the prisoners had been wearing
chains and stripes.
The report absolved Warden H. G.
Worthy and five guards for blasting
away as the men sought to flee the
12-foot barbed-wire prison stockade
in Southeast Georgia after a day
of disorders.
Georgia chain gangs, publicized
by Robert Eliot Burns in his book
and movie, u Am a Fugitive From
a Georgia Chain Gang" were out
lawed after a storm of national crit
icism result in a penal reform
movement under the administrations
of former Cows. E. D. Rivers and
Ellis Arnall
During the same period, several
deaths in 7-by-7-foot sweat boxes
led to abandonment of that pun
ishment.
The 23-member Glynn County
grand jury late yesterday concluded
a three-day investigation into the
renewal of prison violence in the
State.
The jury emphasized that Georgia
prison guards are authorized by law
to employ gunf1re if necessary to
prevent escapes and to take such
steps as are necessary to maintain
order"
1t found the warden and guards
were justified in opening fire under
the circumstances.
Inmates of the all-Negro camp
were labeled as "murderers, bur-
glars and rapists the most un-
ruly and undisciplined in the State. u
The jury declared ANY one of
sound body could escape by climb
ing the fence in seconds" f..

On the Other Hand
Strange Happenings These Days
In Politics of the Golden State

It all happened like this: Henry
Wallace announced along in May
that he was going to visit California.
The chairman of the Los Angeles
County Committee thereupon in
vited Mr.. Wallace to be the honor
guest at an official reception. Mr..
Wallace accepted. Then the county
chairman remembered to mention
the matter to the County Committee.
State Chairman Jimmy, being pres
ent, took the floor and argued elo-
quently against any such official
reception for Mr. Wallace. 1t would
be misunderstood, he explained. He
argued for four hours by the clock.
But he was voted down, almost two
to one.
Somehow, the papers got this all
wrong. The way they got it was
that the County Committee, led by
State Chairman James Roosevelt,
had voted overwhelmingly to honor
Henry Wallace. That was correct,
except for the one detail important
to Jimmy.
Everything Happened.
The misunderstanding apparently
spread as far as Washington. Moth
ing could be done in the National
Capital concerning the County Com
mittee's party for the Iowa rebel,
but there was another party coming
up, that now famous Jefferson Day
dinner. AS originally arranged it
had for principal speaker the dyn-
annie John Snyder, Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr.. Snyder decided he
wouldn't speak at a dinner held by
that County Committee, no matter
how much money it might bring
into the party's treasury.
In this he was supported enthusi-
astically by CALIFORNIA; National
Democratic Committman, Ed Pau
ley. Some people say, in fact, that
Pauley had the idea first. However,
that may be, it was Mr.. Pauley that
met National Chairman Gael Sulli-
van at the airport in Los Angeles,
where he had arrived to attend that
Jefferson dinner, and persuaded him
to take another plane straight back
to Washington. There were also
some telephone conversations with
the White Houpse, but nobody
knows what who said to whom.
However, you know all about this.
The papers were full of it.
All we're getting at is that politics
are not simple in California. Jimmy
did his damnest for the President,
but he landed in the doghouse.
Everything has happened to him
tine loyalty test and he can't
be sure that isn't yet to come.
