By LEONARD COHEN
In The New York Post

The signing of Larry Dolby by
the Cleveland Indians indicates
that it was this club Branch Hickey
was referring to back on June 20
when he told the Dodger writers
in Pittsburgh another major league
club was giving him competition
in the bidding for another Negro
prospect. Hickey was after Dolby,
too.
We liked Lou Boudreau's state
ment in which the manager Of the
Tribe said, Greed, race or color are
not factors in baseball success,
whether it be in the major or minor
leagues. Ability and character are
the only factors" We know Boud-
reau well enough to believe his sin
cerity. President Bill Veeck and his
brain trust will make room for
Dolby on the team roster and give
him a chance to play regularly If
he can hit. His .45S average in the
Negro N. L. makes him worthy Of
a trial.
Jackie Robinson can stand up
and take a bow, and so can Hickey.
The play of the Dodger first base
man and his conduct on and off the
field have been such that not a
word Of complaint can be uttered
against him as the first Negro to
play big-league ball. Robbie was
under terrific pressure and to add
to his difficulties he was stationed
at a new position, first base.
Jackie is showing he can hit ma
jor league pitching and he's been
improving in his defensive play.
Gradually putting what Hickey has
called "his venturesome legs" to
use, Robbie is leading the loop in
stolen bases.
Jackie Robinson BlaZed the Trail
No longer a novelty, Robinson is
regarded as a ballplayer, which is
all he, or his most ardent sup
pOrters, ever asked for him. So
Robinson set the precedent. Now
what Hickey did in the N. L. Veeck
has done in the A. L., given a Negro
a chance.
Dolby, g 22-year-old infielder Of
the Newark Eagles Of the Negro
National League, is a versatile chap
who can play anywhere in the in
field or outfeld. The Indians can
use help.
Just where Boudreau will place
him remains to be seen. Naturally
Dolby will have to be given time
to adapt himself, for he, too, will
be under strain and tension. He
will be the sole Negro in the junior
circuit and even though Robinson
has blazed the trail, Dolby still will
have no easy time. If he follows
Robinson as regards department
and behavior on and off the field,
his task will be easier.
New Day Dawns for Negro
Ballplayers
Perhaps third base may be the
initial spot for Dolby. Second base
is his natural position, but it would
take a team Of horses to get Joe
Gordon out of that berth. Unlike
Robinson, who was greener than
the grass surrounding the initial
sack when Hickey handed him a
first baseman's mitt, Dolby won't
be strange at any position.
But the main point is that an
other major league club has seen
fit to follow the example set by
Brooklyn.

Finland Puys and Paws

The brief announcement that Finland
has paid another $3.50, ,852.24 on its post
World War debt to this country comes
like voice from dead past.
With this payment, the Firms keep in
tact their record of being the one country
which has not defaulted on it's debts of
that period to the United States. All of
the other debtors have fallen by the way
side, and, after defaulting, most of them
have come back to obtain millions and
billions more from u.s. Only the Firms
continue to pay and pay.
They are proud of this record, and
Justly so. We have less reason for pride.
We loaned Finland $8400,000 at three per
cent interest. They have repaid total
of about $S,O6O,OOO, but they still owe us
more than $8,ooO,ooo, practically all of the
past payments having been applied to
interest
1t would seem that the time is at hand
when we should make some adjustment
of this transaction. Finland has been
pulled into the Russian orbit and life there
is not what 1t used to be. When the
United States has collected the amount of
the original loan, why not write off the
remaining balance as tribute to people
who have set for this world a splendid
example of national integrity?

The Real Wallace Threat

If other considerations could be put
aside, most people would welcome the
emergence next year of third party
movement headed by Henry A. Wallace.
They would welcome it because it would
present clear choice between Mr.. Wal
lace's demand for complete reversal OF
our foreign policy, coupled with his rant
ings about the brass hats and Wall Street
men, and the sound though trying foreign
program which has the Endorsement of the
best men in both the Republican and
Democratic Parties. If the American people
could express themselves on such clear
cut choice there would be no fear OF Mr..
Wallace. He would enjoy the support OF
the Communists, the lunatic fringe, and
little more.
But there are considerations which cam
not be put aside. Chief among these is the
effect of a Wallace third-party movement
on the political prospects of President
Truman. 1t is possible that the pro-
Wallace vote would be so negligible as not
to determine the outcome of the contest
between the Republican and Democratic
candidates. But this is only remote posi-
bility. The chances are that If Wallace
third party were to get on the ballot in
even few key States the election OF
the Republican candidate for President
would be assured.
This is the real threat which Mr.. Wal
lace raises, and 1t poses grave question
for the President, who, in all human prob
ability, will run for reelection next year.
1t can be argued that Mr.. Truman
has made mistakes of detail in fashioning
our foreign policy. But very few people
will doubt that he has acted with real
courage and that he has been inspired
solely by what he believes to be. and what
actually are, the best interests of this
country Still, our political system being
what it is, national election exercises
powerful compulsions on candidate. If
the third-party threat becomes imminent,
there will be great pressure on President
Truman to trim his sails, to backtrack on
foreign policy in an effort to head of Mr..
Wallace
There is little likelihood that Mr. Truman
would yield to such pressure, for he knows
how disastrous to the country the conse-
quences of his surrender would be. Con-
vinced as he is of the correctness and
necessity of his course, he can be expected
to yield his office before he yields to Mr..
Wallace.
With that prospect in the offing, how
ever, there is little to admire in the glee
with which some Republicans seem to con-
template the Presidents dilemma. They
may win an election, thanks to the wrong
headedness of Henry Wallace but it is
difficult to see how they could take any
pride or pleasure in a victory won at the
expense of man who was defeated be-
cause he had the courage to stand out for
what he knew to be best for his country.

TRAGEDY at the Zoo

Washington mourns its twin polar bear
cubs, that died yesterday at the Zoo, aged
one day, the victims of maternal neglect
and possible pulmonary complications.
One of the nice things about the city is
the way it reacts to this sort of tragedy.
While the bears. smaller than a mans
hand and weighing less than a pound
apiece, fought for their lives and for milk
from BOTTLE at least six Washingtonians
teephoned offers to take the tiny animals
into their homes and rear them like
children
Zoo officials could not recall such popu-
lar concern over the health of any of the
animals since the fatal illness, some twenty
years ago, of baby gorilla named NGi.
In those days Of prohibition, 1t became
known that N-Gi was being nursed along
on custard with little whisky in it. Nu-
merous embassies offered their liquor sup
plies in the cause.
my husband makes the best wine in
the world" wrote one woman. "You must
let me send you some so the baby doesn't
have to use that bootleg stuff"
Well, the little bears, too, burrowed deep
into the Capitals heart in their short day.
We have had hard luck in trying to raise
polars here: the same thing happened with
the only other one born at the Zoo, back
in N-Gis time. AS in the case of these
twins, the mother refused to have any
thing to do with her offspring. Such un-
maternal behavior is not uncommon
among captive animals. polar bears espe-
cially. The Milwaukee Zoo has managed
to raise several of them, but this appears
to be exceptional.

Deplores Resort to War

DeplOres Resort to War
70 the Editor Of The Star:
War is the most costly way Of settling our
national and international dinculties. One
would think that our Statesmen could pursue
wiser course. War frequently creates more
problems than it settles.
Let us look at the financial cost alone of
World War II to the United States, to say
nothing Of what 1t has cost the other nations
involved. According to ofhcial estimates the
United States Government expended $50 billion
dollars during the war. The average cost for
that period was around $50 million dollars a
day. In creating this enormous debt, we have
mortgaged our future for long time to come
What has this war settled? It defeated and
eliminated a dangerous dictator who wanted
to fasten Nazism upon all the world, but one
Of the conquerors, an equally dangerous die
tator, now is attempting to impose Communism
upon other nations, and we Americans inad-
vertently have helped to make this Caesar
powerful
Think also of the enormous postwar cost in
interest on war bonds, the cost Of pensions to
the soldiers and their families, and the cost
of mental suffering in the loss Of loved ones
and Of physical suffering yet to be endured
by the manned and physically and morally
ruined people.
Why do we engage in war? Isn't there any
common sense left In the world?

Navy Exhibition Commended

70 the Editor OF The Star:
1t is greatly regretted that the splendid ex-
hibit of paintings Of combat naval officers now
at the National Art Gallery is not established
as permanent part Of that institution
Not only does this exhibit (which closes to-
morrow present the sturdy character of Amer
lean naval officers, brought to light by the vari-
Gus artists with combat conditions furnishing
a background, but it shows that the same ex-
pressions were manifested at places remote
from each other.
visit to this exhibit is an experience which
should be enjoyed by all who have contributed
their own efforts to the preservation of our
civilization.
Certainly it is recommended for all naval
officers and their families to view their portion
of the contribution by the Armed Forces Those
who are interested in artistic values may see
paintings which are both realistic and accurate
Those who may have had lapse in memory Of
events and persons can renew their esteem for
the men who took the shock Of combat
