|BIeacher Shift Needed
To Check Williams,
Leading in Homers
By The Assoeiotsd Prsss

American League managers had
better devise q .'bleacf1er SHIFT for
Ted williams.
Trick shifts and all, the Boston
Red Sox slugger still is the greatest
as well as the most feared batsman
In baseball today.
It Is doubtful If opposing teams
ever ganged up on any player the
way they have on Williams. Every
time he strides to the plate, they
start a troop movement toward the
right side Of the diamond.
This rlse, first used by Lou Bou.
|dreau, Cleveland Indians manager,
and adopted with great success In
the last World Series by Eddie
Dyer. st. Louis Cardinals pilot, un-
|doubtedly has hurt Ted, robbing
him of numerous base hits.
Enjoying Great Season.
Despite that, the colorful fly
chaser, in many respects, is enjoy
ing one Of his greatest seasons. His
$3.50 batting average great for other
hitters but only fair for Ted--does
not tell half the story. It Is his
devastating clutch hitting which
makes the San Diego swatter the
most valuable player in his cir
cult.
OF his league-leading home run
output of nine, four have come In
the ninth or extra innings to turn
the tide In favor of the Red Sox.
His circuit clout yesterday came
with one aboard in the last Of the
ninth to save the American League
champions the ignominy of dropping
both ends of double header to the
league leading Detroit Tigers.
The Bengals had won the 12-in-
ming opener. 80 and were ahead 4-3
with one away in the Red Sox half
Of the ninth of the second game.
Up stepped Williams and blasted
his two-run homer into the right
field bleachers to give the Sox 5-4
win and split in the twin bill
before 28,289 paid fans.
Ferriss Defeated.
In defeating the Red Sox in the
opener on George Kell's 18th inning
double which scored Ed Lake from
first, the Tigers gained the distinc-
tion Of handing Dave (Boo) Ferriss
has first defeat on home grounds in
two seasons.
The thifd-place Indians remained
hard on the heels of Detroit and
Boston by taking 5-4 decision from
the New York Yankees at Yankee
Stadium. The Indians led through
out, with Hal Peck's seventh inning
home run turning out to be the de-
Gliding blow.
The Chicago Cubs took undisputed
possession of third place in the Ma
tional League, only 4 percentage
points behind the second-place New
York Giants and half game behind
the flrst-place Boston Braves by out
slugging the Brooklyn Dodgers, 81,
at Wrigley Field. The win snapped
a hve-game losing streak for the
Cubs and dropped the Brooks into
the second division.
Musial Aids Cards.
Catcher Del Rice and First Base
man Stan Musial provided the big
blows as the st. Louis Cardinals
finally broke the spell the left
pitchers have held over them
this season to give the Red Birds q
5-3 victory over the Phils In a night
game at st. Louis. Rice hammered
his second home run OF the season
of Southpaw Oscar Judd with one
man on in the fifth. Musial singled
In two runs in the sixth and then
scored on a wild pitch. Howie
Schultz accounted for all Philadel-
phia's runs with a seventh inning
home run with two mates aboard.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
GAME COMMISSION SEEKS
TO RAISE PRICE OF
HUNTING LICENSES

Resolutions of sportsmen's or
CARNATIONS and endorsements by
individuals, SO it is said, have
poured into the Richmond office
since publication of the schedule
of license revisions which the
Commission of Game and Inland
Fisheries is asking the General
Assembly to grant This schedule
was carefully considered by the
Commission and adopted unani-
nously on April IL as the most
equitable means of providing
needed revenue for expanded
game management work.
The recommendation is that
the number of separate licenses
be reduced from eight to four;
that State hunting and fishing Ii
censes and State licenses to hunt
only be combined into combi-
nation hunting and fishing Ii
cense and that the cost to the
buyer be SIS instead of So, as at
present; that the cost to the buy
er of combined county hunting
and fishing license shall be $3.50
instead of 81; and that the non
resident 2-day hunting license
and the nonresident 2-day fish
ing license be abolished. The sea-
son nonresident hunting license
would remain at $3.50 and the
State nonresident fishing Ii
cense would cost the purchaser
$3.50.
It is believed by the Commits
sion that with the repeal of the
nonresident hunting and non-res
ident trip fishing license, there

incidents including as
saults on Jewish individuals, desc
Grafton of Jewish cemeteries and
synagogues and outbreaks OF van
dalism against Jewish owned prop
erty. The Division also continued
its scrutiny of the subversive press
and issued it's annual review OF
the anti-Semitic situation in this
country.
The Program Division in the
meantime continued to carry its
message to the public through
modern advertising and commune
cation techniques giving equal at
tention to the spoken and written
word-aiming that message at not
only the general public but at spe-
cific areas within the population
reached by labor organizations,
foreign language groups, veterans
schools and colleges, and religious
organizations. Of unusual interest
were some of it's special projects
such as the ADJ sponsored speak
ing tour of Bess Myerson, Miss
America of 1915, and the distribu-
ton of Irving Caesars "Sing A
Song of Friendship" in book and
record form. In the radio field,
too, ADJ made a major contribu-
ton through it's Institute for
Democratic Education, subvention-
ing it's tenth series of Lest We
Forget which was broadcast over
more than 700 radio stations, in
scores of schools and colleges and
by the Armed Forces Radio Ser
vice. This series of broadcasts
won a 1916 Showmanship Award
from Variety and First Award
at Ohio State University's Insti-
tute for Education by Radio.
The spoken word from the lee
ture platforms was used as an edu-
cational force for better human
relations. More than 1000 speak
ing engagements were filled by 800
lecturers of the ADJ Speakers
Bureau, addressing all kinds of
clubs and organizations. One
speaker alone reached $4,000 stud
ents in four middle western states.
Aware that 100000 returned
veterans were particular targets
of anti-Semites, ADJ worked
closely with leaders of the Ameri-
can Legion, AMVETS, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, American Veterans
Committee and other groups, pro-
viding local posts throughout the
nation with materials and guild
ance to develop democratic edu-
cational programs.
The Veterans Department also
conferred with War Department
officials on a program designed
to counterfeit Nazi indOctrinatiOn
of American troops serving over
seas.
In the year under review, ADJ
won it's long fight against the
Horner Report of the American
Dental Association which sane
toned the maintenance of racial
and religious quotas in dental
colleges to correct "racial and
geographical unbalances" among
students. BY reawakening public
opinion to this fragrant violation
of the American creed, the League
succeeded in forcing the issue last
fall when the ADA "unequivocally"

to every dental school dean in the
nation.

WASHINGTON
HIGHLIGHTS

WASHINGTON, D. C. - One of
the most important of the special
congressional Studies and investi-
cations will be made by a subcom-
mittee of the House Committee on
Expenditures in the Executive De-
partment.
This committee, headed by Rep.
Forest A. Harness (R-Ind), will
carefully scrutinize publicity and
propaganda activities of the vari-
Gus Government departments.
1t will concern itself particularly
with the State Departments work
in connection with the Marshall
plan for the recovery of Europe.
This plan cOntemplates the expendi-
ture of enormous sums in a number
Of European countries.
There is very important reason
for this specific study. A law on the
statute books prohibits the use of
Federal funds for propagandizing
the American people in behalf of
programs not yet adopted by Con-
greSs. Legitimate functions of the
government in the way of inform
ing the people are not affected.
Congress long since recognized
the evils of bureaucracy which
uses taxpayers money for purposes
of influencing the public, either for
or against, in the matter of parti-
cular piece of legislation. 1t
quickly passed a law prohibiting
the payment of, salaries, and travel
telephone, telegraph and other ex-
penses for such work.

STOP RUST ON FARM
MACHINERY AND METAL

Rust is a demon always ready to
attack farm machinery and metal
unless it is kept painted. A red lead
paint that can be easily mixed on
the farm is effective against rust.
Directions for mixing this paint are
given by Jack F. Bell, extension
farm engineer for the University of
Delaware.
To make one quart of red lead
paint, Bell advises the following
method: -
1. Mix five lbs. of dry red lead
with one cup of raw linseed oil to
form a paste. Let this mixture stand
over night to allow the red lead to
become thoroughly wet with the oil.
q. Thin the paste red lead into a
paint of brushing consistency by
adding one cup of raw linseed oil,
two-thirds cup of gum turpentine
and One-third cup liquid drier. Stir
the mixture we'll and keep tightly
covered when not in use. If boiled
linseed oil is used, omit the drier.
If larger amounts of red lead
paint are to be made, increase the
quantities of dry red lead and other
ingredients DropOrtionately and fol-
low the abo' { procedure AS home
made red lead paste or paint soon
get hard in the can after mixing it
with oil. make only what paint will
be used for immediate painting. Dry
red lead keeps indefinitely.
Block up the machinery to be
painted so that all parts may be
readily cleaned and painted. Re-
move all grease with turpentine or
kerosene. Rust on the metal and
scaling paint on the woodwork can
be removed with a wire brush or by
scraping. The red lead paint should
be brushed on all metal and wood
work evenly and thoroughly.
Two coats Of paint will greatly
increase it's durability. Any good
quality exterior house paint can be
used as a finish coat. An attractive
shade of brown may be obtained by
adding a small amount of paste
lampblack-in-oi to red lead paint
Thin the lampblack with turpentint
or linseed oil before adding it.

DELAWARE FARM FRONT

Clean, marketable eggs are a re-
suit of good poultry husbandry
practices, according to the Univer-
sity of Delaware poultry specialists.
Dirty or soiled eggs, besides pre-
senting an unfavorable appearance
to buyers, are likely to spoil quick
ly, and frequently they are the basic
cause OF spoilage among clean eggs.
Prevention means constant at
tentiOn to wet or muddy ranges,
unclean floors in henhouses, infre-
quent change of litter, unclean or
insufficient nests and overcrowding
of henhouses.
While it is easier and less costly
to prevent dirty eggs than to clean
them once they have become soiled,
weather or other conditions beyond
the producers control frequently
make it necessary to clean eggs be-
fore they can be marketed. Eggs
that are only slightly soiled can be
cleaned with steel wool, fine sand
paper, or a damp cloth dabbed in
washing soda or household scOur-
ing powder.
For keeping home-canned food as
well as jellies and jams in best con-
dition, put them away in a cool, dry
place-and promptly, home canning
specialists of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture remind homemakers.
If these foods are allowed to stand
around in the hot moist air of the
kitchen, they lose quality and may
not keep we'll. In heat, colors fade,
and flavor and texture deteriorate.
Also paraffin seals on jelly glasses
may loosen. In dampness, tin cans
and metal tops of glass jars may
corrode and eventually cause leak
age.
The specialists add that cool, dry
storage is needed also for best keep
ing of commercially canned goods.
These products often deteriorate il
left on upper shelves in the kitchen
where they suffer from both heat
and humidity, or if they stand in
sunny grocery store windows.
