MOOSE SNEAK BY
 TEEN ACE CLUB
 WITH 4To } WIN
Krause Pitches Good Game -First Four Heats Are
 Held SCoreIess
Inning: 1234 CT Tot. TEEN-AGE.... 00O0 O21 8 MOOSE. O040x 4

The Moose came on the field light minded and with little ap- parent regard for their Teen-Age opponents last night, but with the first of the seventh, Manager Hol- loway found it advisable to switch pitchers and tell the infield to play tn close in an effort to keep out the tying CT winning runs in the form of Smithberg on third and Magorty on second
 Lswrensen, replacing Floberg on the mound in the middle of the seventh, settled down and famed the last two men to help the Moose to 4-3 win, but the Teen-Agers were the most formidable opposi- tion yet faced by the Moosemen this season.
 The first four innings went with out either team scoring, but in the last of the fifth Krause, pitching for the Teen-Age found himself in trouble with three men e and the first out yet to come. Evidenc- ing little concern about his awk- ward position, Krause famed the next two batters as though he had not a worry in the world. Then came the fireworks. Floberg got on with hit, Selmer made first on an error and Lawrensen step ped up and batted out a double When Eastman popped up for the third out, the Moose had brought in four runs.
 The Teen-Age n.aae it's bid in the first of the sixth when F'loberg blew higher than the grand stand roof and walked five men. Two men were in, two out and the bases full when Mercado popped to cen ter field for the third man down. The last of the sixth saw three men up and the same number down for the Moose without a man reaching first.
 The Teen-Age again threatened in the first of the seventh after Magorty hit and brought Lesher home. Lawrensen then struck out Mcclellan and Schmitz to retire the side, leaving men on second and third.
 The game was well pitched by  Krause, striking eight, walking two and giving up but three hits.

By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
 ST. LOUIS, May Baseball fans usually think of Ted Williams as guy who isn't interested in any thing. but hitting during a ball game. that is :. But you can take it from an admiring teammate, Boo Ferriss, that Ted's fielding ability has been greatly under-rated Ted has made himself into a lot Letter fielder than he is given credit for being, says Ferriss. And don't overlook his throwing Why, in Chicago he made one throw from deep left that was as good as any 1 ever saw Williams, known as a dead right field hitter, has been crossing up the opposition on this western tour by hitting to left.
 Ferriss, who hash been burning up the league on the pitching mound this spring, still maintains that there's no particular hitter who reats him like cousin" ''ot course, there's a fellow named Joe DiMaggio," Boo adds, with smile, he hits pretty good" and as for Williams: Well I'm glad he's on my side"

We're In Palestine Up To Our Necks
(DenVer POSt)

(DenVer POSt)
 BEHIND THE BLOODY VIOLENCE touched off by the partition of Palestine there is shaping distinct threat to American interests in the larger conflict be- tween Russian totatarianism and western democracy The movement of events is forcing for the first time more general realization of the fact-ong apparent to many students of world affairs-that Palestine is not a remote and sloated issue.
 Zonists intent only their objective of Jewish national state have hitherto maintained there would not be any deep widespread violence in Palestine if their aims granted The opposition would be fined to "a few Arab sheiks," who could not command a mass following-so the Zionist argument ran. They

A Big Difference

(Rocky Mountain NeWS)
 MANY PEOPLE seem to think that "economic plan ming" and planned economy are two names for the thing. They aren't
 Economic planning good or bad, is something every body does you figure out way to money, that's an economic plan-usually good one.
 you decide to risk spending than you for while, hoping to make up for it later, that's also an economic plan-often bad one
 Successful business firms give much thought to homie plannng less successful OneS much Busi associations labor unions farm organizations all engage in economic planning
 So of course, does the federal government It should plan it's activities in such way to contribute most to- and subtract least from the peoples welfare Cts success in this effort is not always complete).
 But banned economy is economic plan made for the people by government and substituted for the peo ple's planning.
 The planned-economy theory has lot of appeal Mil lions of people, doing their economic planning are bound to make many mistakes. So it is argued, why shouldn't government make master plan for every body and eliminate the mistakes?
 But think there are fatal flaws in this theory A few hundred men in government, who would make the master plan, wouldn't be wiser than everybody.
 They, too, could make mistakes and the consequences could be disastrous But millions of people, planning for themselves, don't all make the same mistakes at the time. And their tend to cancel each other out
 Furthermore, if even wise planned economy is to work, the people must conform to the plan Suppose of them don't want to. How they be brought into lne-uness by government power to tell them what they must make where they must work what they can sell or buy? And then what becomes of individual freedom?
 We have seen individual freedom go down in the planned economies of Naz Germany Fascist Italy and Communist Russia. We Britain trying to reconcile freedom with planned economy. We America not with perfect conditions but with far higher living standards than any other country has even attained, and with this worlds best hope for ing individual freedom.
 We have made mistakes in our individual economic planning but haven't yet made the tragic mistake of adopting planned economy.

zz.eeAs s.ss were confident that Haganah the we'll trained Jewish underground army would be able to control the situa tion But now the Zionist tune has changed The expres- sion of Mrs. Samuel w. Halprin president of Hadassah womens Zionist organization, reflects the new line Speaking at 'Victory day. reception in New York; Mrs Halprin declared that "the world has the respon Isbility to provide and equipment" to defend the new Jewish state against Arab provocateurs."
 The Zioniss right, of course The world, through it's United Natons has decreed the partition of Paes tine Hence up to the world to enforce the decision But it will come shock to many Americans to real ize the extent to which this necessity involves the United States.
 Most Americans, far they had any feelings on the question, were motivated by sympathy for the homeless and persecuted Jews There also large measure of simple indifference Palestine is so far away let the Jews have it; it needn't worry us But the realization is dawning that Palestine may we'll worry us for a long time to come.
 The fact iS if the conflict in Palestine grows into out right warfare the Arabs have soemny threatened the United States may be confronted with difficult de- csion. We may either have to send in troops der our position in the middle east to Russia.
 Article 106 of the United Nations charter requires the five members of the security council to con- suit joint action to maintain the peace. If the United States and the western members should decline join Russia in policing Palestine, Russia might send in troops her own motion In either event. Russian
 
 strategic spots Indeed the certainty it would lead to trouble and justify her intervention may account for the Russians surprising vote in favor of partition.
 Americans reluctant to send forces to Palestine might like to paraphase the Communist chant of the days be- fore Germany attacked Russia: The Tanks aren't com ng But if the violence in Palestine runs it's threatened course may have little choice
 The fve-nation Palestine commission is meeting at Lake Success to make preliminary study of the prob ems of impementing the partition order Next month it will go to Palestine to survey the situation at first hand It's tasks will be difficult at best; and with Arab obstruction, they may be nearly impossible But it is upon the effectiveness of this commission that present hopes depend.
 Purposely, the membership of the commission was held to small nations not immediately connected with the greatpower conflict But inevitably they will find Russia and the United Sates looking over their shou ders they work. The United States must give the neutral commission it's fullest support bending every effort toward peaceful solution without the necessity of forceful intervention.

Why Russia Balks
tBy Barnet Noverj

ministers is not that it failed but why it failed.
 The developments leading Up to the complete smashup of the con- ference are too well known to re- quire elaboration.
 From the beginning to the end Russia and the western powers found themselves in complete op- position on all matters of malor significance.
 They were miles apart on the subject of the Austrian settlement, on the future of the Saar, on the problem of Germany's eastern border, on the question of the sharing of the financial burdens created by the occupation of Ger many, above and beyond all on the Russian demand for 10 billion dollars in reparations to be paid out of current German production.
 AS long as there was the slight est hope of making any progress in ;he direction of a German and an Austrian settlement, the western powers were willing to keep the conference going. After three weeks of futile discussions they decided no such hope existed. By that time, too, they had be- come sick and tired of hearing Viacheslav Molotov repeat over and over again the same imposSi- ble demands, the same crude propaganda, the same obvious distortions and perversions of the truth that Soviet spokesmen have been indulging in against the western powers for some time. The mystery is why Molotov- or rather the Kremlin from whom he gets his orders-persisted in this truculent and uncompromiS- ing course, course certain to widen the gulf between Russia and the west
 If the Kremlin's objective was 10 drive a wedge between France and the Anglo-Saxon powers or between Great Britain and the United States. Molotov's tactics must be written down as a com plete failure.
 If Molotov's purpose was to in timidate those powers into making concessions to the Soviet Union, it is obvious that it had no such re- suit.
 Messrs. Marshall, Bevin and Bidault never budged an inch in the face of the Russian foreign minister's insults and accusations.
 The law of diminishing returns has begun to operate in the mat ter of Russias threats. This is borne out not only by the course of the negotiations at London but also by what has happened in 1 France and Italy.
 Significant signs of resistance 1 to RuSsias tactics of intimidation have even begun to appear in notably Poland and Czechoslova- kia.
 Certainly the failure to get any kind of an agreement at London will not ease the economic stresses and strains in the Soviet Union by increasing the volume of repara- tions from Germany. 1 The drastic devaluation of the | Russian ruble, which the Soviet | government has just carried out,

Triplett SOftball Team Cops
Two More Wins In Weeks Play

Triplett softball team added an
other brace of victories to their
growing string last week by beat
ing Hardin Quarry at Kenton by a
6 to 2 score last Thursday night,
then topping Findlay Gar Wood at
Harmon field, to 3, on Friday.
Lefty Bob King struck out six in
giving up only four hits as the locals
won over the Kenton aggregation.
The Triplett crew got away to a
two-run lead in the first inning,
came up with two more in the third
and added another brace in the
seventh.
Kenton's two runs came in the
fourth inning on a walk, a single and
a felder's choice.
Moser, Cotterman and Gratz paced
the Triplett hitting attack, each get
ting two hits in four chances.
Against Gar Wood Industries last
Friday, the locals came from be-
hind to cop a to 8 decision, after
Findlay had gone ahead 2 to l in
the top half of the fifth frame.
Until that point, Spaeth and De-
put had locked in an air-tight hurl-
ing duel, in which Spaeth had the
better of the going. Triplett had
garnered one run in the second
which stood up until the fifth when
Findlay got two runs on a walk, q
hit and an error.
