Injuries to Stan Rojek. Bob
Elliott and Lou Boudreau, all key
men in the major league pennant
races, were prominent in today's
baseball news. Rojek and Boud-
reau were hit by pitched balls and
Elliott by a line drive.

important. If the Pittsburgh

Meyers infield. is lost for any
appreciable time, the Pirates

A pitched ball by Ken johnson,
fifth st. Louis pitcher. struck Ro-
jek near the left eye in the ninth
inning last night at Sportsmans
Park. He walked a short dis
tance and collapsed just as team
mates reached him.
DR.. Robert F. Hyland. st. Louis
surgeon, said Rocks condition
was serious, but not critical. He
said a preliminary study OF an
X-ray did not show a fracture.
The incident took most OF the
zing out OF the Pirates victory
over the Cardinals. 1t should
have been a big night for the
pirates because Murry Dickson.

Third Baseman Elliott was car
ried of the field at Shibe Park
on a stretcher. The big power
man on the Boston attack was
felled by a line drive OF the bat

developed that Elliott's injury was
not considered serious.
DR.. Thomas McTear, the PhilS
physician, said X-rays would not
be necessary unless Boz expert

some amendments, to June ~
next year.
A bill, reported by the House
District Committee, was scheduled

The measure carries two impor-
tant amendments to the city rent
law which will expire the end OF

Most controversial new provi-
sion in the bill is one to restrict
eviction of tenants who refuse to
buy into cooperative apartment
projects.
Another change in the present
law would place again under rent
control dwelling which have been

The Senate Labor Committee
officially sent the administration
labor bill to the Senate todsy and
called it "a long step forward"
toward achieving good labor
management relations.
In a 79-page printed report. the

Taft-Hartley and restore the

The committee already had ap-
proved the administration bill by
a straight party vote, eight DEM
ocrats and five Republican against.
This is the same bill which now
is the subject of House hearings.

Hoover Plan Would Put
Indian Affairs Under
New Department
By Froncis P. Douglas

The Hoover Commission today
formally recommended creation Of

The recommendations are con-
tanned in two reports the commits
sion submitted to Congress to-

mended the transfer of the Bureau
of Indian Affairs from the Interior
Department to the new Welfare
and Education Department and a
program to make the Nations

The United Medical Admins
tration, as has been forecast,
would include almost all hos
pitfalls of the Army and Navy, the

erans' Administration. including
the out-patient services in the
field offices: the hospitals and
other functions and facilities Of
the Public Health Services, in
Guiding it's personnel, and the
four nonmilitary hospitals in the
