RED POLICE GROUP,
 LIKE NAH GESTAp0,
 FOR EAST GERMANY
(By Associated Press)

The East German Communist government has inaugurated a new secret police force similar to Hitler's Gestapo and has set up youth movement with Nazi coloration.
 The Communist controlled Volk- skammer Peoples Parliamenb ap- proved the two measures yester- day.
 One bill creates new Ministry of State Security to create the sec ret police to hunt down enemy agents, spies and saboteurs. It will be patterned after the Soviet Unions MVD. A Soviet newspaper said 127 East German agents of American imperialists" have been arrested for acts of sabotage.
 The other law virtually enrolls some 100000 youth in the FDJ- the Free German Youth Movement. It seems to have all the trappings Of the Hitler Jugend.

STAFF CHIEFS, IN HAWAII, 'K0RRIFIED'
 AT TROOP HOUSING

PEARL HARBOR, Feb. 10-lR- The touring U.0. Co.nt Chiefs ot Staff today began 8, first-hand sur vey of the military picture in Ha- waii. They are on their way home from Japan, Okinawa, Guam and Kwajalein
 The four top commanders flew in yesterday for three days of con- ferences with IIawaii's military chiefs and inspection of installa- lions.
 Gen. Omar Bradley was asked at news conference if it would be wise to establish a Southeast Asia holding line against Communism as was done with military aid in Greece and Turkey.
 A decision on any such policy is up to President Truman, said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. The Joint Chiefs job is to advise on the military implications.
 Asked what are these implications in Southeast Asia, Bradley replied with quiet smile; T won't tell you"
 Bradley, Admiral Forrest P. Sher- man, Air Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg and Army Gen. J. Lawton Collins agreed there was an urgent need for better housing for Pacific and Alaska personnel. They will take up the matter with the Secretary Of Defense when they return.
 Vandenberg said he was "horri- fled by conditions under which our personnel have to live" At some bases, he said, conditions "are worse than slums."
 Bradley and Sherman found all eight to 10-month delay in having families join enlisted and officer personnel at Pacific stations be- cause of shortage of housing.

Watch Your Whistle FelIahs, If You Land in Newark

NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 10-tR- fellow may whistle at a girl and stay within the law in Newark-but only as long as she likes it.
 When she says "scram," the law agrees it's time to do Just that. Otherwise it comes under the head of molesting.
 City Magistrate Samuel Cooper defined the law yesterday at a pre- spring conference with Newark's IS policewomen.
 Policewoman Martha Brent said that was exactly the way Newark's plainclothes female cops handled it. We always give them a chance to go away" she said
 But if they bother us after we've said scram,' it's a different story"

From then on Bennett pitched
shutout ball through the seventh,
and Bradford followed suit in the
last two innings.
Micciche set the Braves down with
two hits through the first six in
nings-a single to right by Perrin in
the fourth and single to right by
Lind in the sixth. They had scor-
ing chance in the seventh when, with
one away, Harbaugh got an infield
hit and Joe Reardon, batting for Ben
nett, drew walk. linn then flied
out for the second out, but Lind came
through with his second straight hit,
another single to right, only to have
Easterbrook's perfect peg nail Har-
baugh at the plate
Micciche set them down in order
in the eighth, and then came the big
ninth and here's what happened:
Rocky Tedesco, the first man up,
laid down bunt along the third
base line and beat it out and Pot
tenger followed with a single to
right, with Tedesco stopping at sec
ond. Harbaugh was up next and
after missing two bunt attempts for
count of two strikes and no balls,
Dorman yanked him and sent in
Simmons to pinch-hit With the in
field drawn in, still expecting Sim
mons to bunt, he let the first one go
by for ball and then clouted Mic

Bradford was up next and after he,
too, had missed two bunt attempts
and with count Of one ball and two
strikes, Dorman yanked him also
and sent in Babe Glunt to hit for
him. But this time, manager Geno-
vese got into the master minding
act too, and called in Wilson, a right
handler to relieve Micciche, and he
got rid of Glunt on a ground ball to
Korczowski at short, who held Sim

Glunt out at first linn then beat

Simmons to third Lind followed
with line drive toward center, but
Genovese had his outfield playing in

Simmons having no chance to score
after the catch. Jesse Levan was
I given an intentional walk and then
Burgett hit a high bounder to Col
ombo at third, who booted the ball
and Simmons easily scored the win

Both sides had men on base in the
ninth but neither could cash in on
it. In the top half, with one away,
Colone, the pitcher, doubled to left.
Bennett then whipped third call

lowed that with a walk to Zubrin-

when Pair was hurt in the eighth,
popped up to Terrell for the third
out.
In the bottom half Pottenger,
pinch hitting for Terrell, opened the
inning with a double to center and

TRENTON HERE
lTuesdaY. Septernber ID

TUESDAY, September 81
The Braves, in one of the most
dramatic finishes seen in the stadium
in long, long time, took the first
game of their four-out- of-seven-
game series with Trenton in the
semi-fnals for the Governors Cup,
by score of 3 to 2.
Al Bennett started for Hagerstown,
but was lifted for a pinch-hitter in
the seventh, and Ray Bradford (the
winning pitcher) took over in the
eighth. Bob Pottenger was behind
the plate.
Micciche, the Giants leading left
handler (the losing pitcher), started
for Trenton, but was knocked out
in the hectic ninth inning and was
relieved by Wilson, Highlander.
Matte did the catching.
Although there were a total of
seven errors (only three Of which
figured in the scoring), the game was
marked by some sensational fielding
by both sides and some master
minding by both managers, with
Dorman having the best of it.
Trenton scored their first run in
the second inning and then made it
20 in the third
In the second frame, with one
away, Korczowski singled to left and
went to third on Easterbrook's single
to center. Bennett then struck out
Cunningham, but Rodin came
through with a single to right scor-
ing Korczowski, with Cunningham
stopping at second. But Bennett
settled down again and struck out
Micciche to retire the side
In the third, Matte, the first man
up, grounded to short, but was safe
at first when Lind made bad throw
and when Harbaugh, after fielding
the ball, let it get away from him for
the second error on the play, Matte
went to second. Myers sacrificed
him to third and Colombo, who was
up next, flied out to Perrin in right
but Pete's perfect peg to the plate
held Matte at third and it looked as
if Bennett was out of trouble But
Mays, the Giants cleanup hitter
came through with a double to cen.
ter scoring Matte with Trenton's
second and final run.

SUNBURY HERE
(Friday, September y

The Braves swept their three
game series with Sunbury, taking
the final game on Friday night by
a score of 4 to 2.
The game was held up for an hour
and a half by rain and was finally
called at the end of the eighth in
ming under the Inter State curfew
law, after pretty sorry exhibition.
The i'll feeling between the Sun
bury Club and the umpires, which
resulted in several players being
thrown out of the game on Thurs
day night, broke out again in the
Friday night game with the result
that the Sunbury bench was clean
ed out and intermittent arguments
went on all through the game.
Joe Reardon went all the way for
the Braves to become the second Ha-
gerstown hurler to win Is games
Che has lost y. Ferrel was his
catcher
In pitching his shutout, Joe only
allowed four hits, all of them sin
giles, and only two men got as far
as third base.
Miller, a left-hander, went the dis
lance for the Athletics and the catch
ing chores were divided between
Juliano and Karson.
Although Miller gave up Is hits
he held the Braves to runs Every
man in the Braves lineup, with the
exception of Levan, got at least one
hit
Hagerstown's first run was handed
to them on platter in the first in
ming. linn, the first man up, was
safe at first on Majors error and
went to second when Staller let
the ball get away from him on an
attempted pick off. Lind was up
next and he also was safe on the
second error by Major, on which
Zinn scored. Levan hit into a dou-
BILE play and after Burgett had beat
out a hit to second, Perrin grounded
out to retire the side.
That was all the scoring until the
fifth when Hagerstown pushed its
second run across. linn opened the
inning with single to left and Lind
sacrificed him to second. Levan then
flied to right with linn moving to
third after the catch, from where he
scored on Burgett's double. Perrin
ended the inning by grounding out.
Although seven men came to bat
in the sixth inning and four hits
were registered, the Braves could
only garner one run. Tedesco led
off with a single to left and Terrell
followed with his third straight hit
also to left, with Tedesco stopping
at second. Harbaugh then forced
Tedesco at third for the first out
and Reardon forced Harbaugh fol-
out number two, with Terrell NOV
ing to third. linn then beat out ar
infield hit scoring Terrell, with
/ Reardon taking second, and Limo
/ beat out another infield hit, filling
the bases. But the rally ended wher
Levan grounded out.
The fourth and final run came ir
the seventh. With one away Per.
mi singled to left and when Merelc
booted the ball he took second or
the error and then went to third or
a wild pitch. Terrell flied to left
but Harbaugh came through with {
single to right scoring Perrin, with
Tedesco stopping at second. Rear.
don got the second walk of the in
ming (the only two given up by
Miller) to fill the bases, but Zinr
went down swinging to retire the
side.

WHITE STAR LINER TITANIC
WAS BIG SHIP IN YEAR 1917

In answer to a letter by a
reader of route 2, Tabor City
requesting information regard
ing the size of the once famous
ship Titanic" The Tribune has
secured the information ana
printed it in the article below.
The reader who signed his
letter has asked that his name
be withheld, but says he and a
friend have had a friendly argu-
ment regarding the comparison
in size of the Titanic with some
of the larger ships of today. He
saws his friend contends that
the Titanic was larger than the
largest ship of today, and ne mas
taken the negative side.
The truth is, the White Star
Steamship Liner Titanic when
sang on her maiden voyage from
Southampton to New York on
April IA. 1912. was large ship
for her had or any other day.
Put she was not larger than the
largest today.
The Titanic" was SS2 feet and
6 inches long, was believed to be
unsuitable and carried 22O7 pas
sengers on her first and only
ocean voyage. Of this number
1917 were drowned in the ice
berg collision and sinking off the
coast of Newfoundland. Of this
number 1O3 were women and %
children. She was built at cost
of S7.5OO,00O.
In so far as steamship liners
of today are concerned, the Nor
mandie" and the Queen Mary,
are considerably longer. The
French vessel "Normandie" has
an overall length of 9S1 feet and
4 inches. The Queen Mary" has
an overall length of 975 feet and
2 inches. The German liner "Eu-
ropa" is 800 feet and 2 inches
long and many are in the S7Os,
just slightly shorter than the
Titanic" Also the Queen Eliza
beth" is believed to be longer
that the Titanic although actual
dimensions could not be secured
on her.
The Titanic" was the great
est ocean liner of her day and
would be great ship today al
though not the greatest.
In comparing this vessel with
ships of today, The Tribune has
compared privately owned ships
of various steamship lines, and
