Press Tourists To Limit

The Miami Tourists were put
through a stiff workout today
with Manager Dave Coble par
ing his squad down to about 30
men. The two practice sessions
have been consolidated into one,
starting at 1890 am.
With the University of Miami
coming here Saturday and the
Blue Sox to be encountered Sun
day, Manager Coble is anxious to
get his first-string batteries in
shape for action. His starting
pitchers, Dick Farkas, Gene FL
lott, Mel Fisher and Lefty
O'Neil are still not quite ready
but, by Saturday, if the warm
weather continues, should. be in
shape for duty.
Coble was pleased with the
showing of Rookie Charlie Row
land behind the bat Tuesday
against the Red Raiders and is
counting on the youngster to af-
ford the two first-string catchers
more time to get in shape. Coble,
himself, and big Bill Lewis are
the regular receivers.
The University of Miami, pro-
Queer of strong football and bas-
ketball teams, can be relied upon
to be just as good in baseball and
equipped to give the Tourists
stubborn scrap. A college team
likes nothing better than to set
back professional ball club, es-
pecially when the latter is the
club representing the home town
of the college. In fact, good
natured but keen rivalry is al
ready in the making between the
University and the Tourists. Sat-
urday's game starts at $3.50 p. m.
In facing the Blue Sox, Coble
may also bring out one of his
first-stI'ing pitchers. After the
reception which the Raiders gave
the Miami rookie twirlers, the
Tourists are not likely to take
chances of similar assault again,
for the Blue Sox have dominated
the Raiders in the Winter League
second half to hold first place.
The Sunday doubleheader will
start at l pm. with the Raiders
facing the Trojans. The Tourist
Sox nightcap will get under way
at 3:l5 pm.

its organization. Only one of its

nounced them subversive, and by
gosh, some of them are.
Scan the list carefully. Every
American knows the Ku Klux

America, the German-American
Bund. Yes. every American
knows these organizations for
what they are: subversive fascist
outfits.
BUT on the list, we find also,
additionally anti-fascist groups.
One progressive organization,
named by Clark as subversive, is
the National Negro Congress.
Established in 1886 with the
purpose of nurturing the new
born CLIO by helping organize
Negro workers, the MIC was dis
solved by the unanimous vote of
its officers two weeks ago.
But spokesmen for the organi-
cation are not difficult to find.

Chicago executive secretary of
the MIC, says Clark's charges are
a badge of honor rather than a

BORN and raised in Philadel-

College, graduating in 1880. He
worked at N. US Macy's for one
year, much to the chagrin of Gin
bells, then took his Pho. in psy-
chology at Cornell in 1886.
After various teaching jobs,
Neff joined the staff of City Col

of teachers led him to organize

later, tremendous protest from

YES. fascism should have been
stopped in Spain, but it wasn't.
And World War II broke out.
Chuck was drafted a few weeks
after Pearl Harbor, in January
of 1912, as private in the anti

In China, Burma and India,
Chuck, in a battalion of 80 ack-

GSI a Private CORPORATION

To the Editor.of The Star:
1t was rather disappointing to me to read
the news article in The Star for Friday, No.
vember Z, headed "Ruhland Plans GSI Cafe
terra Breakdown" particularly the statement
that the Commissioners decided to give GSI
more time to seek an appropriation from Con-
gress for building changes which would bring
the cafeterias within the Health Department
rules" The article goes on to say that "GSI
failed to get this appropriation"
believe it is generally agreed by every one
noW-includng the Controller General-that
GSI is a private corporation. Therefore how
could GSI possibly obtain an appropriation
from Congress for the purpose of correcting
deficiencies in the physical setups of cafe
terlas? I don't believe that an individual or
g. private corporation could get very far in
the matter of getting Congress to appropriate
monies to him or it.
1t seems impossible for poor old GSI to get
out of the middle of controversies such as
this. AS you know, it is the responsibility of
the Public Buildings Administration to make
any changes which may be required in the
physical layouts of the cafeterias which are
called for by the District regulations, and it is
that organization which sought an appropria-
ton for this purpose, without success. All
we can do is attempt to get the Public Build
ings Administration to meet the minimum
requirements of the District government.

De GouIIe's announcement

Charles de Gaulles latest statement
should be evaluated against the current
situation both within France and in the
world at large. That situation appears
darker than at any time since the close
of World War II. In France itself the
powerful Communist minority works
openly for national disruption at the be-
hest of Moscow and is passing from the
sabotage of strikes to mob violence, notably
at MarSeille. At London, the foreign min
listers of the Big Four" will soon meet in
a conference which appears foredoomed to
a deadlock that may we'll precipitate a
formal breach between the western powers
and the Soviet Union. MoscoWs cold
war" is being waged so aggressively that
the eventuality of a hot" war is being
seriously considered even by those who
most abhor the prospect and its terrible
consequences.
The former leader Of the French re-
siStance and the provisional president of
liberated France prideS himself on his
plain speaking and on his ability to face
facts, no matter how diSagreeable they
may be. 1t is thus with a mordant logic
proverbially French that General de Gaulle
proposes what amounts to grand alliance
of the western world to resist threat to
its liberties and way of life more to be
dreaded than were those from the empires
of Charles V, or Wilhelm II or even the
Reich of Hitler" The nucleus of this alli-
ance would be France, Britain and the
United States. who should arrange in
common to prevent the worst and to win
in the end if the worst should happen"
1t is especially interesting to note that De
Gaulle envisages France as taking the
initiative in this combination. That is be-
cause he deems France the most threat
ened' and therefore compelled to face
facts and be prepared.
De Gaulle sees in his movement, the
"Rally of the French People," reawaken-
ing of the national spirit which will over
whelm the "separatism" of the local Com
munists and purge France from this faint

High Cost of Armies

To the Editor of The Star:
Just when are the taxpayers of this country
! going to put stop to the top-heavy spending
of their money by the armed forces OF the
United States?

devoted to military expenditures, why should
Secretary Marshall ask for additional huge sums
for the Army in connection with "relief" for
Europe and China? The Army is also getting

! that military expenditures comprising the larg
est single item in the budget are one of

Initiation" He said, ut may be we could spend
less on military forces If we spent more to
maintain conditions on which democracy and
peace depend" He indicated that choice must
be made between helping get democracies back
on their feet" and preparing for the next war"
Why on one hand are we being told that
we must send aid to Europe in order to insure
the peace, when on the other hand the armed
forces scream for more and more power and
money and expect to have their demands
granted by frightening the people with dire
predictions of what is to come If they don't get
what they want? How can We pay for every
thing?
| With the cost of food and other living essen
