Further Controls on
Materials
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Secre-
tary Of Commerce Sawyer said
tonight that further controls on
strategic materials probably will
be imposed. He also called for
national sacrifices to prepare for
a war which might be fought on
the home territory of the United
States.
In addressing the New York
Post of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars the cabinet officer said that
UP to now all our wars have been
foreign wars"
ut is well to remind ourselves
that. this will not necessarily be
true in the future" he said. "A
picture of war in all it's repulsive
aspects being waged upon our soil
is one from which most Americans
shrink. In fact, many of our peo-
pie have thought of war in the
last 40 years only as some horrid
contest which takes place outside
the United States and which we
always win.
1--WE should think about war as
a possibility here at home, and
unless we are well prepared-as
a war which we might lose"
Production is the great problem
on the home front, Mr.. Sawyer
said.
He continued:
Managers must employ every
device and make every sacrifice
necessary to increase production
even though it does not increase
profits, or even though it reduces
profits.
THE soldier is getting no in
creased profit or enlarged income
Workers must do the same. They
must do all that they can to in
crease production, even though
this involves longer hours. The
soldier has no eight hour day."

Heavy Rain Floods
Houston Open Course
ey the Assccioted Press

HOUSTON, Feb. 22.-Most of
the big names of golf will begin
the $4,000 Houston Open to-
morrow without having rnade a
trial run of the course.
Tournament officials decided to
close the revamped Brae Burn
Country Club layout until at least
mid-afternoon today after a
heavy rain threatened yesterdays
qualifying play.
Bayous that criss-cross the g.
725-yard, par 70 course began to
rampage as nearly two inches of
rain fell in less than an nour.
Officials figured there was lit
tie chance of the course being
used today except for a late aft
ernoon clinic.
The order to shut down left
most of the big names of golf
without much more than hasty
look at a course that is playing
host to it's first Houston Open.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 22.-Twelve
pounds are causing Branch Hickey
more concern than the five reluc-
tant Brooklyn Dodgers who have
yet to sign their 1850 contracts.
These IL pounds may prove to
be more stubborn than the wills
of Pitchers Rex Barney, Jack
Banta, Clarence Podbielan. Out
fielder Gene Hermanski and In
fielder Bob Morgan-the five re-
luctant athletes.
This extra avoirdupois belongs
to Jackie Robinson, the key man
of the National League champions.
The circuits most valuable per-
former as we'll as batting cham
pion, currently making pictures in
Hollywood, repeatedly is toting
around 208 pounds. His normal
playing weight is 1856 pounds.
That and the fact that Robin
son probably won't report to
spring training camp until March
4 or S is worrying the Dodgers
president.
Hickey Admits He's Worried.
I'm worried about it." Hickey
admitted during a press confer
ence. "Robinson's condition is
easily the most apprehensive thing
on the club. He's had trouble
with his weight before and I know
how difficult it will be for him to
pare down to his normal playing
weight. I hope he's doing some
running in between takes"
Robinson had his greatest sea-
son last year, batting .342, leading
the league in stolen bases and
finishing second to Pittsburgh's
Ralph Kiner in runs batted in.
AS reward for his outstanding
season, Jackie was given a $35, 900
contract, representing the highest
salary ever paid to a Brooklyn
player. However, he was 81 last
month and admittedly has slowed
up step or two.
Thirty-four players have agreed
to terms including Pitcher Elwin

ARCADIA. Calf, Feb. % (FD.-
The Calumet Farms great Cita-

tance in 1895.
Citation was clocked in frac-

in 1925 and the last quarter ir
.251s.
Trainer Jones was mum on the
