ALL-5TAR GAME WAS SLOPPY E
 SPORT OPINION
Manager Hickey Says Fans Should Never Select
 Players for Contest
By JOE REICHLER

Branch Hickey, among many Ma tional Leaguers writhing under the humiliation of his circuits latest setback by American League All Stars, 11-7, today laid the blame on the fans doorstep.
 Hickey, head of the Brooklyn Dodgers, in whose Ebbets Field the latest nightmare for the National Leaguers took place, said it seems to me that the nationwide fans voting idea is not the best one.
 T may be wrong in that" ne added, but am sure of this, how ever. The manager should not be forced to start with the fans top selections-and play them for three innings. He should be privileged tc start anybody he sees fit and use him as long as he desires. Hickey said after the first three amateurish innings, the game was played in smoother fashion be- cause the managers were running things.
 SLOPPY INNING
 In the sloppily- played first in ming the National League infield fell apart and permitted the op- position to score four unearned runs. That eventually was the mar gin of defeat.
 The Nationals got hack two runs in their half of the inning when Stan Musial followed Jackie Rob- inson's double with a home run over the right field screen. They made it 4-3 in the second and only Ted WilliamE' sensational back handed catch of Don Newcombe's fly prevented the Nationals from having big inning. The Nationals third inning attack produced two runs and put them in front for the first and only time in the game.
 DECISIVE PLAY
 The Americans regained the lead in the fourth, capitalizing on Eddie Joosts freak single which both managers-Billy Southworth of the National and Lou Boudreau --- agreed later was the decisive play Of the game
 W1itl, r,,pporc o,, caoo,,d ooa +birl and two out. Newcombe apparently had Joost fooled on a low outside curve. Joost hit it with the end of his bat and sent a twisting little looper to first. But the ball had English" on it and it hopped crazily off Gil Hodges bare right hand and rolled into short right. Both runners scored to put the Americans ahead 6-5.
 TWO RUN HOMER
 The Nationals never caught up, although Ralph Kiner later blasted two run homer off Philadelphia's Lou Brissie. By that time Ameri- cans had tallied two more on Joe DiMaggio's two run double off Bos- tons Vern Bickford. They added three more in the seventh against the Cardinals Howie Pollet to ice the game.
 Although happy over the out come, Boudreau agreed with the majority of the 32,577 fans who paid $79,225. .02-all of which goes to the players pension fund-that it was one of the shabbiest played games since the All-Star competi- tion tegan in 1883. The National

For long time now, in fact for more than twenty
years. the Grand Old Party has been trying to find
formula to get itself back into the News and tay therein
long enough to attract enough voters who would
taiE its virtues at the polls
The subject of the Atomic Bomb, it's past present
and future disposition, is subject about which the
Grand Old Party is presently manifesting great con-
cern.
Commenting this fact, under the title atomic
Jitters the ST. Louis Angus says edtoraly to which
we agree; except that we would title the piece "GOP
Jitters":
at should be clear by now that if the Republicans
could do half we'll at the polls as they do in the press
they would never lose election. The latest bout
staged in the headlines is the charge of George Jordan
that Harry Hopkins shipped atomic materials to Russia
during the Jordan testified before the House I'm
American Activities Committee which has been ObServ
ing period of silence since it's last Chairman Par
nell Thomas, got himself indicted charge of con-
spiracy to defraud the government.
Jordans sensational revelations came on the heels
of numerous and similar stories which began to crcu
late shortly after VI Day. The first Big Show was
the Congressional Pearl Harbor investigation which
endeavOred to prove that Roosevelt had somehow at
tackled the Japanese at Pearl Harbor
This story broke the dixie and in flood Of
spy communist nfitration stuff betrayal to the
Russians and leakage of atomic secrets through long
haired professors.
Jordans story carries the same odor as all those
before it. There IS the implication that Roosevelt
one of Stalins undercOver agents. Notice that Hopkins
was of the closely associated with Roosevelt
and the New Deal Recall that Alger Hiss Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt and countless other victims of the UnAmer
ican Committee were similarly associated
By the American people realize that these
stories the Republican way of campaigning. They
have been able to get it through their heads that
Roosevelt and the New Deal whipped them again and
again because the American people believed in the pos
tive program of government responsibility for the gen.
era welfare
Rather than stand up for whatever they believe
in to declare themselves against the New Deal
they have preferred to present their in the form of
scare words and sensational headlines.
Fortunately they have friendly press to indulge
loho
press would refuse to blow these three ring crcuses
into an expression of patriotic virtue
Unless Jordan has lot more to offer than his
charges against Hopkins, we prefer to ask just how
long do they intend to carry this business of making
heeadines instead of political program that the people
can respect

LIFE AT A
GLANCE
By RAY LAWRENCE

The American Medical Assocla-
ton has assessed each of its 140,-
900 members 25 bucks to fight Tru-
mans socialize medical program
next year. 1t is reported that
100000 lobbyist is all set up to
fight the Fair Deal outright. What
are some of the other belated
grumblings and noise-setters by the
decaying recriminators7 Oh you
bet there will be plenty of it in
the form of opposition unless the
economy become so sick, these op-
positionists are devoid of any
strength to put up a fight.
And why are they all trying so
hard to stop the wave of liberal
democracy; and charging Truman
with trying to develop a "Welfare
State 2" The answer is simple. They
are sore because they fail to recog-
nized calamity back in 1920. But
why jump on Truman because he is
trying to figure out a way to keep
this present ''way of life"t intact?
Why the Welfare State began
when Roosevelt found the country
bordering on the verge of disaster,
and had to create a WPA. But he
was not responsible for the cir
cumstances that forced such Soc
ialistic measures anymore than
Herbert Hoover was responsible for
the Wall Street crash. In fact
the people who were actually re-
sponsible for the crash all over the
world, were statesmen with the
same ideas as these present day
grumblers. If they had emerged
from their regal shells once in a
while, and took note of the grow
ing machine age, the passing of
kingly forms of governments
throughout the world, surely they
would not have been caught with
such an impact of disillusionment.
The Old Guard served the coun-
try well for over $50 years, but it
could not withstand the impact of
war and the machine age, and
thus it had to make way for a
more liberal process of govern
ment-a government for the peo-
pie and by the people.
The opposition to Truman's Fair
Deal program is dreaming in hopes
of returning to the days when there
Were no unions of strength; no rent
controls, no banking act, no social
security and old aged pension, but
those days are memories. Progress
waits for no man.

NOTES FROM
PRENTISS
INSTITUTE
By C. w. FRISBY

Thanksgiving Day was indeed a
wholesome event in the experience
of Prentiss Institute. TIE special
Thanksgiving program Sc: the pace
for the season; appropriate music
was furnished by the school chorus
under the direction of Mrs. Hud-
son. Several students read papers
suited to the occasion; included a.
mong these was the Presidents S
Thanksgiving Proclamation. T h e
special message was given by Rev.
Mark Lowery, head teacher in the
Seminary on the Institute campus.
At 11:30 a. m. the program was
closed with reports on the annual
financial drive by the college and
high school classes. The final check
showed the following results; 9th
grade, $146.41; 10th grade, $137.59;
18th grade, $35403; 18th grade,
S201 1.50; college classes, S72.04; to-
tai, $911.57. From the above report
it is evident that the honors of
the day were taken off by the 18th
grade group, sponsored by Mrs.
Holbert.
At 200 p. m. the annual Home
coming football game was the order
of the day. The visiting team, the
Amite County Training School,

but when the final whistle blew,
the score favored Prentiss II to 6.
A large and enthusiastic crowd of
graduates, former students, pa
irons and friends came to witness
and participate in this Tome Com
ing of 1949.
Monday following Thanksgiving

surprised by visit of several out
standing guests. All the way from

prejudice films is the top coin
they are earning in the South. A
major reason previously for avoid
ing such subjects was the stand
ard cry that they couldn't be
played below the Mason & Dixon
line. Since that territory accounts
for about 1870 of total U. S. take,
producers always figured there
was little use in making a film

Southerners themselves.

George S. Mitchell, former econo-
mics professor at Columbia, and
former Rhodes scholar, is the coun-
cil's executive director from Rich
mond, Va, and expresses the aims
of the council in no uncertain
terms:
"The main job of the council is
to get the South to see that preiu-
dice and bitterness arc, in part,
shadows cast by poverty and in
equality. But the object of working
together without prejudice is to
get for the whole South, the ma
terial conditions which we think
will dry up most of the prejudices.
Thus, we press for whatever will
get the South health and housing
and schools and jobs and good
farms -.
Il am concerned that our con-
stitutional freedoms are not shared
by all our people; my religion con-
vinces me that they must be, and
gives me courage to study, work
and lead others to the fulfillment
of equal Justice under the law"

ACCEPT CHRIST BEFORE
IT is TOO LATE

We cannot teach the way to Heaven
Others train the way to He'll
More money spent for games and
sports
Than the world can ever tell.
The Bible says the world loves
it own
1t says train a child the way it
should go
Yet you are training for games
and war
How many of US are telling them
no
The Holy Bible tells US all the
same
Regardless of Greed or Kind
1t says for to love one another
Now this is a Christian mind
Religion is just a duty to perform
A Christian means the love of
Christ
1t takes the love of God in your
heart
1t makes you live the right life.
Most of our Churches are relig-
iously led
And for love they are not Christ
like
They are filled with letters not
even love
And always ready for a fight.
You might as well acknowledge
Christ
Who shed His blood for every
race
His program is love one another
today
If you expect to see His Fathers
Face.
| am afraid there is a chance to-
day | say
Thousands no peace in their
hearts for Christ
The world loves its own that is
games and sports,
Now where will be your eternal
Life.
The Holy Bible tells you where
it will be
Most all of you can read and spell
Without the love of God in your
heart
1t is going to be an eternal He'll.
Sporting Life you are flying too
high today
Sooner or later you will have to
come down
You have loved your own too long
I'll say
Now how do you ever expect to
get a crown.
Death is watching you on every
step
Why not take the right stand
Go to God and surrender today
And ask for mercy, be a Man.
