Medwick Back, May Tip Cards
On How to Hit Lefty HurIers

The hit din't win the game. 1t
didn't even tie the score but it
scored Del Rice with the Cards only
run. The crowd gave the stocky
veteran who wore the Cardinal uni
form from 1882 to 1910 a tremendous
hand, Many of them did not know
the Cards had signed him and his
appearance at the plate was a sur
prise.
The rest of the Cards could not
follow through on Joe's lusty poke,
however The sum total of their
offenSe against Ostermueller was
three hits good for a to l defeat.
1t was the Cards goth setback of
the year and the 18th at the hands
of southpaw pitcher Ostermueller
had hlanked them to at Pitts
burgh two weeks ago.

CEASE FIRE ORDER RCIvEN
 IN WARFARE
United Nations Granted d Demands for Ending
 t5-Ddy Fighting

BATAVIA, Java, Aug. 4.-tR- The Indonesian Republic joined the Dutch tonight in announcing cease-fire order to troops, stop ping the hostilities in Indonesia and giving the United Nations its first big victory for peace.
 A Republican reply to the U. N. Security Councils demand for a halt to the -l5-day war said the Republic was issuing cease-fire order to all troops tonight. The announcement was broadcast from Jogjakarta shortly after p. m. G:30 a. m., Eastern Standard Time). The Dutch had announced Sunday a cease-fire order effec- tive this midnight Dutch ad- vances had halted even before the deadline.
 Jogjakarta announced plans for midnight broadcast by President Soekarno in his capacity as com mander in chief of troops.
 The Republican government ask ed the Security Council to appoint an impartial committee to super wise enforcement of the cease-fire. It said Dutch military operations had cut communications in numer- ous places, leading to difficulties in enforcing the order on the Re- publican side, and asked that the world take this into consideration.
 A Dutch spokesman said most Netherland units were already pull ed up, several hours before the , midnight headline. There was al- most no activity today at Semar- ang, which had been the Dutch troops expected jumping-off place for an attack toward Jogjakarta.
 The United Nations Security Council last Friday called upon both sides to cease fighting In statements yesterday the In- donesians said they were willing" to cease hostilities, but that a truce could be carried out effec- lively only if the Dutch withdrew to demarcation lines established last October. There was no indi- action of Dutch agreement to this.

E. ROOSEVELT TESTIFIE5 IN
 PLANE CASE
Denies He Ever Discussed Contract with Hughes
 with Father

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-tRl-El- liott Roosevelt told Senate Investi- gators today he never discussed Howard Hughes hoto-reconnais- sance plane with his father, the late President Roosevelt.
 Young Roosevelt said the Presi- dent took a "fatherly interest in Hughes, but that photo-reconnais- sailce did not rank in importance with the few other problems the President had on his mind at that time'
 The Senate War Investigating Committee is inquiring into war contracts made for the Hughes plane and the part Elliott Roose- welt played in the War Depart ment's decision to award them.
 It has received testimony that Air Corps experts decided against contracting for the planes, but that this decision was changed after young Roosevelt recommended a contract for Hughes.
 Elliott testified he was ordered home from Europe to make recom- mendatlons on photo-reconnais- sance planes despite his protest that the trip would be used to smear" his father. The younger Roosevelt told the Senate War Investigating Commit tee that Robert Lovett, then Under Secretary Of War for Air, made the decision in 1943 for him to come home on trip eliminated by his recommendation that the Air Forces buy Howard Hughes photo reconnaissance plane. At the outset of his testimony, Roosevelt told the Senators that serious implications had been raised about his record, and that he would give them the complete facts"
 Roosevelt said that the first time he ever heard of Howard Hughes or that the millionaire was build ing a plane was in July, 1943, when Gen. H. H. Arnold sent him to look over the Hughes plant.
 You mean your Army orders directed you specifically to the Hughes plant" Chairman Fergu- son (R-Mich.) of the Senate Sub committee asked.
 You knew what was going on and he (Arnold) wanted you to re- port to him, was that it?" Fergu- son asked
 Roosevelt said that was not quite it.
 He said Arnold told him it was very necessary" to get the re- connaissance situation strengthened out but that he did not want El- liott under any circumstances" to upset the production of fighters and bombers.
