Casey Stengle, manager of the
New York Yankees, and skipper of
of the American League All
Stars for the 1850 classic made
his pitching selections, with whom
he will attempt to stop Jackie
Robinson, leading hitter for the
national loop along with Roy
Campanella, Stan "The Man"
Musial, Ralph Kiner top home run
slugger and others of the senior
loop, July IL, at Comiskey Park
in Chicago. Two left handlers.
Tommy Byrne, of the Yanks and
Ted Gray Of the Tigers and the
righthanders are: Bob Feller,
Cleveland Indians, Vic Rashi and
Allie Reynolds both from the
Yanks: Art Houtteman, from the
Tigers; Bob Lemon, Cleveland In
dams and Ray Scarborough of the
White Sox. In the rest of the
starters for the first three innings,
the lineup chosen by the vote of
the nations fans including their
batting averages as of July1 which
are as follows. LIST. Walter Dropo,
Red Sox, (.343); 2b. Bobby Doer,
also ofthe Red Sox, (294); 3rd b.
George Kell, Tigers (372); SIS.
Phil Rizzuto, Yanks (317) In the
outfield, Ted Williams, Red Sox,

and Walter Evers, Tigers (351).
Doing the catching for the Ameri-
can league will be Larry "Yogi"
Berra, of the Yanks. Backing up
the starting lineup will be Jerry
Coleman of the Yanks who accord
ing to the cagey manager can
play both second and third base,
Tommy Heinrich, Of the Yanks for
the first base replacement, despite
the fact that Luke Easter has the
better record ofthe two. Both on
theofefnse and defense. Right now
there is no better third sacker than
AL Rosen ofthe Indians, but At
engle has his own reason for ever
looking him. Among the receivers,
he selects Jim Hogan of the In
dams and Birdie Tebbetts of the
Red Sox, despite the fact that
Tebbetts was not named by the
fans in their voting. At the hot
corner, he has named Ferris Fain
ofthe Athletics with Vern Step
hens as the understudy for Rizzu-
to in short. Although the Washing
ton Senators were ignored, Cass
Michaels of the Senators may get
a chance to play in the Classic.

Answering to the charge of
second degree murder in the fatal
shooting of Wallace Curry, 80,
home-at-large, following a family
quarrel, Cleophis Steele, 80, of
IS Diamond ave., asked for a
preliminary hearing before Com
mon Pleas Judge Lester L. Cecil
Thursday morning. The Court set
the bond at $4,000. No date had
been set for the hearing. Steele
shot Curry with a 20 Caliber rifle
while he was attempting to settle
an argument between Steele and
his wife last Saturday afternoon.
Steele was employed at the Wright
Patterson Airbase and is the
father Of five children.
Another preliminary hearing
was asked by Howard Wilkinson,

Friday afternoon around 5:15
Wilkinson, Raymond Chapple, "a,
of 523 Pontiac st., Nathaniel T.
Redwine, %, Of 267 Pontiac ST.,
and an unidentified woman, drove
into the station and asked for some
gas.
The attendant, Ernest Witch,
10, of 80 N. Orchard ave., while
serving the car saw Wilkinson
leave the car, go into the station
and later heard the ring of the
cash register. Dropping the hose
he went into the station in time to
Wilkinson put his hand in the
register and take some money out.
In the meantime, Clement Jacobs,
Of 1887 Midway. ave., and a
passing motorist came to the res
cue of the attendant holding the
suspect. The other two men also
entered the fray and attempted to
free their comrade from his cap
lures. During the tussel, the Of
flee of the county sheriff was
summoned and deputies arrived.
However, the amount of $62 in
register was missing. According to
the owner, Wilkinson is said to
have passed it on to his pals, who
jumped into the a and fled with
the woman, later to return to the
srene of action without her. The
big question was and still is 80.
"What became ofthe money!. /.
However, they did find the wo-
man and her name is being with
held by the sheriffs office.

The situation Is different with
regard to meats and sugar, two
foods which have gone up consid-
erably during the past two weeks.
It owns none of these foods.
Neither does it hold any coffee or
wool, other items which have
jumped in price. Large stocks of
wool bought during the war have
long since been sold.
At what stage in a prolonged
price rise the Government might
toss it's supplies on the market to
check the advance is a question
which cannot be answered at this
time. Officials have made no COM
mitmentS.
1t is generally believed, how
ever, that the Government would
not attempt to keep prices of farm
products - except perishables -
from advancing to full parity, in
aSmuch as parity is the goal of
farm legislation and programs.
In mid-June, only five major
farm products were bringing parity
or more. They were wool, soy
beans, beef cattle, lambs and veal
calves.

ernment are still selling for less
than minimum levels at which
Uncle Sam could sell them.
Wheat, for example. is selling
at close to the price support
level, which is 80 per cent of par
ity. or farm average of about
$199 a bushel. Parity is a stand
ard for measuring farm product
prices. 1t is declared by law to be
equally fair to farmers and those
who buy their products.
The Governments minimum
selling price for wheat would be
S per cent above the support
price - about 10 cents - plus
charges involved in Government
storage and handling. which would
be around IL cents. Added to-
gether, this would give a wheat
sales price of about 1921 at the
farm.
Certainly the Government, with
it's large stocks of grains, is in a
position now to keep wheat from
climbing to postwar peaks of
$3.50, and corn from advancing
above the So level.
The Government would jump at
the chance of selling present large
stocks of butter and cheese.

rs per cent, and a request to Or
ganize labor to seek no wage in
creaseS while the tax boost re-
manned in effect.
Authority Exists.
AS many prices continued to in
crease, attention was directed to
the Governments authority under
existing legislation to place curbs
on markets for such commodities
as wheat, corn, cotton. dry beans
and peas, butter, haxseed, linseed
oil, cottonseed oil, cheese, dried
eggs and dried milk.
Power to set up what amounts
to price ceilings exists in pro-
visions of farm law relating to
Government authority for dispos-
ing of farm surpluses acquired un-
der price support programs.
BY offering these products at
set prices, the Government could
pretty well fix the top limit of
prices, at least as long as its sup
plies lasted. Few II any buyers
would pay more than the Govern
ment selling price.
In the case of non-perishable
and storable commodities, the
Government may sell at prices
equal to per cent above the cur
rent price support rate, plus rea-
sonable carrying charges.
In the case of perishable prod
ucts-such as butter, cheese, dried
eggs and milk-the Government
may sell at any price it sees fit,
when there is danger of these
products deteriorating

some foods at the retail level, most

"A suit for $4,000 damages has
been filed on behalf of a 12-year-
old boy who contends he lost the
sight of one eye while olaying a

S38 Million Sought
By Truman 10 Provide
Food for YugosIavia
President Says Threat
Of Fomine Offers Stain
Chance to Subvert Tito

President Truman today asked
Congress to appropriate $38 mil
lion to provide food for Yugoslavia
in a further effort to widen the
breach between the Tito govern
ment and the Soviet Union.
The United States already has
made about $50 million available
for the Yugoslavs, whose economy
has been hit badly by drought.
This (the threat of famine)
would provide fertile ground for
the subversive activities of the
Kremlin and would seriously un-
dermine the capacity of the Yugo-
slav speople to resist Soviet ag-
gression.". the President told Con-
gress.
Early Approval Expected.
Prompt approval is expected on
Capitol Hill.
The text of the Presidents mes
sage follows:
Il recommend that the Con-
greSS enact legislation authorizing
further United States assistance
to meet the emergency created by
the food shortage in Yugoslavia.
More than two years ago the
government of Yugoslavia broke
its association with the Soviet
Union and its satellites. This rift
resulted primarily from the re-
fusal of the Yugoslavs to agree to
the dictation of the Kremlin in
the affairs of Yugoslavia. The
YugoslavS are determined to main
tain their independence of the
Kremlin. They are maintaining
the largest fighting force in Eu-
rope outside of the Soviet Union
The breach between Yugoslavia
and the Kremlin and it's satellites
has steadily widened. The Krem-
lin is determined to wipe out this
one successful example of a for
mer satellite which has freed itself
from Soviet control. Directly and
through its satellites, the Kremlin
is trying to destroy Yugsslav in
dependence. Yugoslavia is being
subjected to an economic block
ade. to propaganda, subversion,
military pressure and harassing
border raids.
Shortage Described.
"Since the break between the
Kremlin and Yugoslavia it has
been the policy of this Govern
ment to assist Yugoslavia to main
tain its independence. The con-
tinued independence of Yugoslavia
is of great Importance to the
United States and its partners in
the North Atlantic treaty organi-
cation, and to all nations associ-
ated with them in their common
defense against the threat OF
Soviet aggression.

suffered perhaps the worst drought
in it's history. There were severe
crop failures, and the lack of feed
and fodder led to the extensive
slaughtering of livestock. AS a

A cold, sharp look at this Gov
ernment's intelligence in the Far
East is expected in the wake of
Korea developments.
The latest reminder of an in
telligence that was known to be
spotty and erratic is the quad
rupling in size of Chinese Com
munist forces between last Friday
and Monday.
When Gen. Macarthur ordered
his all-out offensive to end the
war, officials here were told that
an estimated 10000 Chinese
troops were south of the Yalu
River.
The offensive thus made sense,
in the view of military and dip
lomatic observers. They held that
a quick end to the war would
strengthen the United Nations
position in putting diplomatic
seal on the triumph.
Then the house fell in. The
