He always appears fearful o f

been known to go out on the
limb over a rookie prospect.
However, the old Louisville

winning pennants has been high

First Division Managers
Only John McGraw has won
as many pennants as Marse Joe.
1t took McGraw 20 years to win
10 pennants. Mccarthy reached
that goal in 81 seasons as a big
league manager and, like South
worth, he has always had a first
division team.
AS Chicago Cub pilot for five
years he won a pennant in 1929.
In the Series that year he bow

Credit, Control
May Cut Prices
On Used Cars

Washington, Sept. 18-(A.P.)
Credit controls, going into ef-
feet Monday, are likely to put
the skids under premium prices
for used cars, some automobile
dealers said today.
Some said they already had
lowered thw amounts they've
been paying for new used" and
late model used cars in antid-
patton that sitter credit terms
will make them harder to resell.
And some finance men ex
pressed the view that h e
controls, by forcing high month
ly payments, will put late mo-
del cars beyond the reach of
many families with incomes up
to $4,000 or even more.

The Texas Longhorns showed
power and speed aground today
as they whipped the Louisiana
State Tigers $50, with the larg-

history-47, 500 watching the

Whit quarterback Paul Camp

Layne in capable fashion, the
Longhorns smacked across the
goal line in every period except
the second.
The Tigers did not make a

them from perhaps worse de-
feat.

of the market could run to mil

For cars costing $1,000, which
is the low price field today, the
required terms would run $500
down and roughly $50 month
for So months.
The monthly payments alone
would take one-fourth the mon
thly income of a 50, S40-a-year
family, while operating would
swell the expense further.
Some Reserve officials said
the premium prices for late used
cars indicate the demand for
them is too strong to be blown
away overnight merely by stiff

Bernadotte was shot over the

Air Force Celebrates
Second Anniversary With
Show Of Might Over World
By James J. Strebig
Associated Press Aviation


Washington, Sept. 18-(A.P) }
The Air Force wrote its own
''happy birthday" across much
Of the world today and under
scored it with speed and trans
port records.
1t was a big and costly birth
day party that sent the United
States Air Force into it's second
year as a co-equal department
with the Army and Navy in the
defense set-up.
Thousand of warplanes flew in
dozens OF localized shows tied
together with a mighty criss-
cross of bomber tracks from
eight major overseas bases to
rs cities at home.
In New York, General Hoyt
S. Vandenberg announced new
world speed record of 670981
miles an hour made with a fully
armed jet fighter, the North A
merican F-86, three days earl
ier.
In Berlin, Air Force planes
laid down the greatest volume
OF cargo ever hauled by plane.
1t was not just show over the
airway to land-locked Berlin,
but a full demonstration of the
capacity for beating the Russian
land blockade of Berlin.
American planes carried 5,572
tons of coal to Berlin in 651
flights. British planes made an
additional 244 flights.
While planes of every type
flew from every active aribase
at home and overseas, more
than 40 officials from bridadier
general to Secretary of the Air
Force spread the air force mes
sage in formal speeches.
Not all of the show was in the
air or at the banquet table, how
ever. Airbases were opened to
the public everywhere, with dis
plays of ground operations and
equipment.
1t was a general safe celebra
ton despite the vast scope of
operations.
A medium bomber made an
emergency landing at Kansas
City, Mo-, but its seven oc-
cupants walked out before the
plane burned.
By mid-afternoon, only four of
the more than so B-29 bombers
making flights of 1900 to $500
miles nonstop in simulated raids
on American cities had reported
stopping short of their goal. All
made safe landings at airbases.
AS if to belittle the geo.
graphy, many of the bombers
flew indirect course, going 1000
or more miles off course to in
crease the length of the flight.
F/it Of the Bass to land were
two that hit Pittsburgh almost
on the minute assigned. Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney. command
ing general of the Air Materiel
Command, greeted the crews.
They had flown nonstop from
Iceland by was of Florida.
Other B-29's, flying in pairs
and threes, came from bases in
Alaska, Hawaii, Japan, Bermuda
The Azores. Iceland, Labrador
and Germany.
A strictly home demonstra
ton Of size and range was given
by half a dozen B-36 bombers.

In an effort to give everyone |
