HAMMERS IN
 so VICTORY
 OVER PADRES
By BILL BECKER Associated Press Sports Writer)

The Los Angeles Angels, taking advantage of the mutual throat cutting engaged in by their closest coast rivals, Oakland and San Fran cisco, headed the coast league par ade by two games today.
 With big Russ Bauers, ex-Nation- al Leaguer pitching his third straight victory The Angels down. ed the pesky Sacramento Solons, 7-5, while the Oaks thumped the Seals. 7-6, moving into second place mere percentage point. ahead of San Francisco.
 John Ostrowski smacked his 18th homer for the Angels.
 Larrupm Les Scarsella always there or thereabouts in the clutch, slammed one over the fence in the sixth to break a Gall tie and re- turn the Oaks to the winners cir cle in their giye-and-take series with the Seals. Damon Hayes turn ed in a slick three-hit relief job over the last five innings to notch the win
 Seattle's Rainiers, battling to get out of the cellar, rose to within a point of seventh place San Diego, downing the Padres, 50, in the opener and then struggling to l2 innings, 8-8 tie, which was halted by the midnieht curfew.
 Round Richard Barrett, the Rain iers' swell but unsvelte righthander gose- -egged the skidding Padres with four hits as his mates got much better mileage on only three hits off Vern Kennedy. Three Padre errors handed the Rainiers as many unearned runs.
 The nightcap was wooly affair in which the lead shifted twice be- fore winding up in a TT tie at the end of nine innings. Each team tal- lied once in the 11th and staggered scoreless through the 18th before time ran out The Rainiers outhit the Padres, Is to 13.

MOOSE WIN; BEAT LEGION,
 4To3StoRE 4

The Moose started the second half with a bang as they beat the Legicnnaires by score of 4 to 3 last night. They looked like a ball club with the additional players they have turning out for them. Hansen, who was at second base, is a sweet ball player and Del Hanks, local Boy Scout Commissioner, is first sacker, and good.
 The club boys brought in run in the first inning as Floberg beat out bunt, stole second and took third on the shortstop's error of Forsythe's grounder The Legion boys thought that Forsythe was out as it was a close play, and while they were arguing, Floberg stole home.
 The Legion came back with a run in their half of the first when E. Nielsen walked, stole second and third and came in on Males groupder to the pitcher.
 Legion Scores
 The Legion tcok the lead in the second inning as they drove across two runs, while thel club men got . a goose egg for their efforts. Cash en struck out, but took first as the q catcher dropped the ball and took ? second as the first baseman lost 2 the catcher's throw. Flint and J. ' Nielsen struck out and E Nielsen doubled, scoring CaShen. McDaniels 1. doubled bringing in Nielsen with 3 the second run, putting the Legicn ahead by two runs.
 The Moosemen came back with another run in the third when the , same thing happened that gave ! them a run in the first. Metcalf s was hit by a pitched ball and ad- 7anced to third on the following ; two outs He scored as the Legion protested that Hanks did not get i. to first in time, stealing home while 2 the boys were huddled at first brow beating the ump. @ The last scoring of the game was in the fifth when the Moose drove in two more runs. Metcaf reached first on the third baseman's error stole second as Notar struck out and came in on Forsythes double Forsythe then stole third and came , in on Hansen's single, ending the scoring for the game.
 The next game will be played to- night at 6:30, weather permitting between the Legion and the Elks Following is the box score of the game last night:

Training Of 100000
In Rifle Use Urged by
Royal for Emergency

Calling for the training of about
1,00c, 900 young men a year sin the
fundamentals of the use Of the
rifle" Undersecretary Of War Ken
/ meth G. Royal last night gave the
War Departments Endorsement to
the program of the National Rifle
Association.
Speaking before several hundred
members Of the association, at Its
annual banquet in the Hotel Statler
Mr.. Royal asked the association
/ to provide at least nucleus OF
trained rif1emen upon whom we
could depend in any future emer-
gency."
He said the group trains men not
only In craftsmanship but also de-
velops human character. the COM
petitive quality and the pioneer
spirit.
M-Day Needs Cited.
Because of the probable sudden
ness of any future war;" he said,
I'VE feel that on M-Day-Mobiliza-
ton Day-there should be a force
in being of 1,75000o men, including
10 Regular Army ground force di-
visions, 27 National Guard divisions,
and about 200, 900 Reserves in service
units. In addition we would need
during the first year Of any war an
unassigned pool of some 10000
more trained men," he added.
In Mr.. Royals opinion, too many
people have formed fantastic ideas
Of rush-button warfare for the fu-
4 tu1e-without thought to those who
will stop the enemy push-button
pushers and take over the enemy
country after all the buttons have
been pushed.
In its all-day meeting yesterday
the association adopted resolu-
ton opposing Attorney General
Clark's recent proposal for nation
wide registration of firearms. The
association objects to any law
which would require the registra-
ton of small arms privately owned.
Officers Reelected.
The association also adopted res
olutions establishing program to
deal with the problems of juvenile
delinquency by providing rifle
ranges and equipment for Junior
competition, and recommending
that police officers be given better
training in the use of pistols at the
expense of the community.

SIREN AT REFINERY
TO SHREK TONIGHT
INNiLClNIN6 1874 8

When the New Year comes to
Laurel at midnight the brave little
boy carrying a satchel with 1948
inscribed on it's sides will hear a
new, loud and penetrating voice well
coming him, if workmen at the
Laurel refinery of Farmers Union
Central Exchange succeed in in
stalling a just-arrived siren. C. A.
Cromwell, plant superintendent, said
he thought the installation would
be completed today, in ample time
to join a rousing welcome to infant
1948.
And rousing is the word. The
siren, manufactured by the Darley
company, has a Shrek that will be
heard five to seven miles away.
People at Park City may recognize
new voice in the midnight hubub
at Laurel. Cromwell said he hoped
no one here or nearby would be
alarmed when it goes into action
for the first time.
1t is primarily a fire alarm to
summon members of the refinery's
fire department when needed, but
it also will be used as a signal
announcing the beginning and end
ing of work shifts, and when so
used it's voice will be milder than
when it serves as an alarm.
Heretofore a large part of the
burden of announcing the arrival of
New Years has fallen on the round
house whistle of the Northern Pa
,ific, which has done a good job

1947-America Spends Billions To Feed Des-

The year 1947, showing some cas-
ing in the scarcity of consumer
goods, was undeniably disappoint
ing in that it did not launch a
swift and assured program among
the great powers for economic re-
covery of Europe. This is a goal
still to be achieved, for which not
even a good start has been made
in the past II months. In the per-
iod, while attempting to feed,
strengthen and encourage the war
shocked and intrigue-infested coun-
tries, America, through buying goods
and commodities from itself to give
away, made the discovery that il
had gotten into a heightened in
flation at home. Out of this grew
strikes and labor legislation.

trade paper circulating among news
paper editors, took a poll of opinion
on what they thought were most
important news stories of the year

editors chose the Taft-Hartley act
as occupying No. 1 position. Their
vote was on the question of import
ance, not on whether they were
against or for the act.
No. in Importance was the Mar

expenditures of American money.
No. 8 was the disaster in Texas
City, Tex.
No. 4, the U. S.-Russian dispute
