|X-Roys to Decide Fate
|Of Badly Needed Hur|er
By Burton Hawkins
Stor Sfoff CORRESPONDENT

LAKELAND. Fla, Mar. %
Sid Hudsons pitching career may
be ended. Recurrence of a painful
shoulder injury which forced him
to quit month early in 1947 has
placed his future in jeopardy and
the Mats pitching predicament-
already gloomy-now is bordering
on hopelessness. H..
Hudson was forced to leave the
mound yesterday during a wild
12-11, six-inning defeat by Bir-
mingham, in which the Mats blew
a 90 lead. That struggle. high
lighted by two 4-run homers off
Washington's Diz Sutherland, was
paled by the significance of the
damage to Sid's shoulder.
The Mats nave an engagement
with the Detroit Tigers here to-
day. Ray Scarborough and Lloyd
Hittle are slated to do the pitch
ing. A game with the Phillies is
scheduled tomorrow in Clear
water.
X-rays today were to determine
the extent of Hudson's injury, but
in Sid's mind it's nothing trivial.
ITS the same injury that made
me give up in 1947," declared Hud-
son, dejectedly. II never had any
pain last year but I haven't felt

Hudson, indicated the develop
ment of a new pitch, fork ball,
might be responsible. Il worked
on that while I was an instructor
at Washington's baseball school,, -
said Sid. land I've been practicing
with it since. Maybe my motion
with that pitch has stirred up the
trouble"
The few scattered fans who
watched yesterdays game believed
Hudson deserted the mound in the
fifth inning because he was un-
nerved after striking Danny Ryan,
the Barons' catcher, on the left
temple with a curve ball. Sid.
who had scattered two hits in the
first four innings, gave up home
run to Lou Dammon to open the
fifth. Bob Depietro singled, Ryan
was beaned and after two more
singles Hudson was replaced.
Sid, though, had sent word to
Manager Bucky Harris to warm
up another pitcher. He knew he
couldn't last out the inning and
he's facing a black future. At
best he is likely to be lost to
Washington for weeks, with long,
complete rest probably his only
salvation, if any.
"Dr. George Bennett of Johns
Hopkins told me in 1947 that my
trouble was caused by bone spur
and advised against an operation, -
Sid said. HE said that if I SUBJ
mitted to an operation I probably
wouldn't pitch again. He advised
me to alter my style, find method
of pitching that didn't pain me
and so in 1948 I switched to side
arm pitching.

year and return to overland pitch

year but my arm felt great"
It was during the winter that
Harris, feeling Hudson required a
more deceptive repertoire, re-
quested Sid to develop another
pitch. A 17-game winner as a
rookie in 1910, Hudson hasn't en-
joyed a winning season since and
grasped the suggestion eagerly.

PHOENIX, Ariz.-Monte Ken
nedy, who has been one of the
New York Giants inferior pitch
ers this spring, sprang surprise

amazing Cincinnati Reds.
Yesterday they won their sixth
straight spring training exhibi-
ton game and their 18th in Is
starts by beating the Detroit
Tigers, IL to Z, but Eweil Black

got to him for seven runs and eight
hits in five innings. Cincinnati

inning.
Red Rolfe, Detroit manager,
was booted off the bench for pro-
testing decision.
CLEARWATER, Fla.-Just what
kind of powerhouse has Manager
Eddie Sawyer of the Philadelphia
Phillies assembled for the 1850
National League campaign?

21-6, yesterday. They had IA hits
against four Cardinal pitchers.
The Phillies have given Eddie
Miller his unconditional release.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla
The battle for the Philadelphia
Athletics No. l catching slot now
can be considered a three-way
affair.
Fermin (Mike) Guerra arrived
in the AS camp yesterday, came
to terms with Manager Connie
Mack and lost no time in getting
down to work. -
Mike relieved Joe Astroth for
the last five innings of the game
with Toronto of the International
League, singled home one run and
scored once as the AS second
stringers won, 81.
TUCSON, Ariz.-Young Bill
Macdonald, the Pittsburgh Pirate
pitcher who celebrated his 2lst
birthday yesterday, gets the start
ing job against the Cleveland In
dians in the Bucs exhibition base

sary.
The Chicago Cubs defeated the
Pirates, 40. yesterday as Johnny
Schmitz went nine innings, yield
ing eight hits.
YUMA, Ariz.-The debut of
Luke Appling, veteran Chicago
White Sox shortstop, as a first

OBVIOUSLY WE could 60 ION and on"
" endlessly to show what has happen
ed to prices and the cost of living that we
have to put up with. Even the editorial
writer of The Times admits that prices
have been going up and up.
"In January 1912, just prior to the
enactment of the price control law" this
August journal tells us, ut (the cost of
living index was lilo. By May it
was 1850. And by June of 1916, just be-
fore OPA was temporarily suspended,
the cost of living index was up to 1888"
What The Times fails to tell us is the
fact that this huge rise in the cost of liv-
ing came about at a time when wages
were frozen when unions couldn't
get any wage increases. Therefore, as any
fool can plainly see-to use the language
that Lii Abner would throw at us -
working people suffered a tremendous
loss in real wages.
OUNCE THE END of World War III
unions have been able to gain wage
increases to counterfeit, at least to a
measure, the huge rise in the cost of liv-
ing. But actually, despite these wage in
%creases, the workers were never able to
catch up with rising prices. Neither
were they able to keep in step with the
Incredible rise in corporate profits.
Everyone knows that, including The
Times. Certainly the workers know it.
But, as always, it is the function of
these so-called newspapers" to blame the
working people for trying to get their
fair share of their labors. They blame the
workers for the rise in prices even though
they know full well that it is not the
workers, but the corporations that hike
their prices not only to cover what ever
increased costs they may have to bear
as a result of wage increases, but to
1atten up their profit mellon to a point
way out of all decent proportions.
The truth of the matter is the corpora
ton profits have been skyrocketing out
OF all proportions since the end of the
war.
n truth of the matter is that prices
- especially food, rent and home build
ing costs - have reached levels beyond
the means of our working people.
n truth of the matter is that the
only thing that kept apace with the rising
prices Is the fabulous profits of our large
corporations.
Is 1T any wonder that workers are
clamoring for additional wage increases?
OF course not. This is as it should be,
There must be established a proper re-
lationship between wages, prices and
profits otherwise the whole edifice of our
economic system is threatened with des-
truction.
AS 1t is, but for the fact that our coun-
try is seriously engaged in defense work.
we would today be faced with another
economic crash simply because of the
'profit-hungry' policy followed by our
leading corporations.
The only salvation for our country is
he establishment of proper relations be-
.ween wages, prices and profits. And
light now the only way tn a can be
brought about is through additional wage

MIC AGAIN we are forced to turn our
" thoughts to the frustrated little man who
plays the role of editor for Paul Blocks
Times, much like a clown plays his antics be-
fore a circus crowd. Only the clown is anus
ing while this little man is so pitiful.
For it is simple to make people laugh when
people come prepared to laugh, as is the task
of the clown. Our little man has a much more
difficult task. His job is to trample upon
truth to besmirch the massive historical
integrity of a Franklin D. Roosevelt to
make people believe that truth, fact, history
is no longer what they are, but rather what he
thinks and says they are.
There is, of course, nothing new in this
performance. Countless others, far more able,
have played similar roles before.
nAILY, MONOTONOUSLY, nauseatingly
- this frustrated little man pontificats to us
about the great sell-out of Yalta" by Presi-
dent Truman" selling-out" Chang Kai-shek
and thus handing China over to the reds"
He writes with such authority on the military
problems of the Far East, especially Formosa,
as though none but he, and maybe Gen. Mac
Arthur, understood these problems.
In reality he understands nothing. Or If he
does, he is a man beneath contempt. For uni
versal contempt is all a man deserves VIII
consciously attempts to prostitute the obvious
facts of history.
WHAT DID HAPPEN at the famous Yalta
w conference between Roosevelt, Churchill
and Stain, plus their innumerable aides, both
military and civilian? Many books have been
written about the Yalta conference by those
who were there as participants. Edward r..
Stettinius, our Secretary of State at the time
and a former head of the giant U. S. Steel
Corp, now no longer living to defend him
self, has told his story about Yalta, Fleet Ad-
miral William d. Leahy, chief military aid of
the President, has told his story. The personal
notes of Harry Hopkins, praised so lavishly
by Winston Churchill, has been made public.
John Gunther, world-famed author, has just
published his book on Roosevelt In Retro
spect' wherein he deals in great detail with
the Yalta conference.
Now, all of these people - good Ameri-
cans - are people beyond reproach. They
have served their country with honor and
great competence. What do they say about
Yalta?

what Stettinius tells us.
"At Dumbarton Oaks none of the -four
major powers GUS, China, Britain, Russia
was willing to accept this situation. "A
straight majority vote on substantive matters
"The military and naval stats working
with the State Department" continues Mr..
Stettinius, chad insisted on the right of the
United States to veto decisions involving the
use of military force"
This military and naval staff included
Admirals Russell Wilson, Harold Train and
Arthur Hepburn and Generals Stanley D. En-
bick, George V. Strong and Muir Fairchild.
QUT THIS ISN'T all. Where was the great
- Winston Churchill, along with his adj
mirals and generals? Churchill took the same
position. He, too, demanded veto rights for
Britain. And rightly so. What kind of a fool
would have agreed to join an untried interna-
tional organization, however noble in purpose,
to decide - by casting a simple majority of
votes in the Security Council to commit
the economic and military resources, the very
Slives of his people in a military venture that
might be totally at variance with the interests
of his country?
Yes, none but a fool, a knave, a traitor to
his country - whatever country - would
have agreed to such a covenant.

~ the name of President Roosevelt even
though he knows that he is uttering untruths
even though he knows that he is basely
desecrating the memory of a truly great Am
erican whose memory is forever enshrined in
the hearts of humanity the world over.
But even in this sense he is dishonest. For
does he not berate his idol, Winston Chur-
chill? Churchill also signed that covenant.
Why doesn't he berate that "two-bit' dictator
as Ken. "Viniger joe Stilwell so aptly
called Chang Kai-Shek-who also insisted on
veto rights for his government?
Why is it that only President Roosevelt -
and now President Truman - are guilty of
what he terms 1.-THE Yalta sell-out"?
WE Do NOT contend that everything done
w at the Yalta conference, especially view
ed in retrospect, turned out for the best. But
we do say that to speak of Yalta as a sell
OUT or a betrayal on the part of President
Roosevelt - or anyone else is nothing but

YOU WOULD think the defeat of Taft would be a certainty.
Il Look what he did to you.
He put your unions into a straitjacket, where they couldn't
fight so hard to protect you-crippling their political strength.
their economic strength, their bargaining strength, their orr
ganizing strength. Y
After Taft weakened the labor unions, he took the lid off.
to you by raising prices as fast as they could add EN- up.
Then he lifted corporation surplus tax restrictions, and let
the big boys keep all the extra dough they scooped out of your
pocket.
Taft did that to you.
He tied you up, kicked you in the face, and then charged
you for the exercise-and laughed when anyone suggested that
you'd vote against him.
He probably said, Jaw. they'll forget all about this stuff
by 1851"
Well, is he right? HAVE you forgotten?
No politician on earth would have the nerve to give labor
a working over like Taft gave YOU if he believed in Democ-
~racy-believed the people would really r-egister-would really
vote-would really tell him off in November. Taft is counting
on your lazness-on your stupidity.
He actually believes that you will go fishing election day.
That you will put off registering until it's too late. That you
don't care much what he did to you.
Well, if Taft is right-if you really ARE too lazy, too in
different, too busy with other things to register before the
September 9th deadline and to vote on November z, then you
don't need a labor union. You need to be locked up.
What the Republicans will do to you if Taft is reelected
makes me shudder just to think of it. They'll say, Well, If
Taft can get away with the beating he gave labor, what are WE
holding back for?"
And then they'll pour it on you, but good.
And I'll be half inclined to say, more power to 'em. Good
enough for you.
But if Taft is wrong-if you do get out and register-do get
right here in Toledo to boot Senator Taft right out OF the
Senate.

Because if you lick Taft (register now-vote in November)
those anti-union blowhards in Washington are going to get up
off your neck. They'll know that they can't kick labor around
can't kick YOU around-and get away with it.
Right here in Toledo, in Lucas County, is where the story4
gets told. Y
And YOU are the guy who'll have to tel. it.

Iran to Japan, CLOS John
Brophy also brought b a c k
words of warning to demo-
cratic Americans.
"The voice of America is
little more than a whisper in
Asia, compared to the hard
hitting propaganda of t e
Communists" Brophy reports.
Communist propagand a
keeps up a steady drum-beat
that American imperialism
is seeking to enslave Asiatic
peoples - and a good deal of
silly talk in Congress plays
right into hands of red propa-
ganda agencies.
Russians are closer to
Asiatic scene, and have wide
knowledge of local conditions
but there's still time to pro-
mote democracy among scores
of millions of people, Brophy
says.
But one thing that won't
win Asiatic hearts, he adds,
NAN-type of "free enterprise"
advertising. Most labor move
ments there want a mixture
of public ownership and pri-
vate enterprise, in light of
local conditions.
