pears to be a certainty that colored
baseball players will be on next

not one of the teams said to be
pioneering the move.
He expressed the opinion, how
ever, that capable Negro players

the Southern League has taken on
a colored player, the first in the
deep section of the South.
Miami Beach of the Florida-In-
ternational League selected a Sec
ond baseman named George Handy
in a delayed draft session last

Handy comes from Memphis,
Tennessee. He is described as "a

At st. Hyacinthe in the Canadian

Deny Larry Dolby
Trade To St. Louis

Columbus, Ohio (NNPA).-Gen-
eral Manager Hank Greenberg of
the Cleveland Indians last Wednes-
the st. Louis Browns in a three
day denied that the Indians were
considering trading Larry Dolby to
way deal that would involve Ned
Carver and put Ted Williams of
the Boston Red Sox in Cleveland
uniform.
A report circulating here last
Wednesday said the Indians were
about to send Dolby, several play
ers and bundle of cash" to the
Browns for Carver. The ace right
handler then would be traded to
Boston in a deal involving Williams.
II haven't talked to anybody
from the Red Sox and l haven't
talked to Bill Week about any
hree-cornered d e al, Greenberg
said. "We have not mentioned
Doby's name in any deal. Veeck
has asked about Dolby, but GER
tainly not in connection with any
trade that would send Williams to
Cleveland"

Hector Rodriguez
Is Purchased By
White Sox

Columbus, Ohio (NNPA).-The
Chicago White SoX last Wednesday
finnaly got around to the point
where they officially announced
the purchase of Third Baseman
Hector Rodriguez from the Mon
treal Royal, International League
farm club of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The White Sox's purchase of Rod
riquez was held up because the
club had to wait on clearance of
waivers involving First Baseman
Glenn (Rocky) Nelson, former st.
Louis Cardinal and Pittsburgh Pi-
rate. With the waivers cleared,
Nelson went to Montreal along
with an undisclosed sum of cash,
presumably about $4,000.
Rodriguez is 81, but last season
was his first in organized baseball.
Prior to that, the speedSter had
played in the Cuba league. He hit
.301 at Montreal and is good
fielder and base runner.
His acquisition means that Cres-
tes Minoso can confine himself to
the outfield next season instead of
part timing as third baseman.

had much to do with making the
Sun Devils the No. 3 offensive
team in the nation this year.
A green team largely composed
of freshman and sophomores, op-
Grating under a new coaching Sys-
tenn, the Sun Devils were picked
for a mediocre 1851 season. Instead,
they surprised the experts by fin
ishing in a tie with Hardin-Sim-
mons for second place in the tough
Border Conference, and compiled
a very respectable overall record
cf six wins, three losses and one
tie.
While Head Coach Larry Siem-
ering and a fine staff. of assistants
were responsible for much of the
Sun Devils success, no little share
of the credit must go to the quiet,
soft-spoken Self. Proof of this is
the fact that his teammates voted
him the most valuable Arizona
State footballer of 1851.

InSpirational team leadership and
outstanding ball-handling ability
have won Harold Self of the Ari-

lete of the Month"
The senior Information quarter
back from Casa Grande won this
honor by majority vote of the sew
en-member Keagle Memorial Award
Committee in the monthly compe-
tition sponsored by the Al Brew
ing Company of Phoenix.
Carrying only $50 pounds sparse
ly distributed on a Six-foot frame,
the red-haired Self looks hardly
hefty enough to cast shadow, let
alone play the rough, tough game
of modern football. Moreover, his
passes sometimes go end over end.

@. Can you explain the main
features of the Capehart Amend
ment to the Defense Production
Act?
A. Harold Leven hal, Chief
Counsel of OPS, states: Two fea-
lures of the Capehart Amendment
are: First, it sets certain limita-
tions on the authority of OPS to
issue new regulations requiring
rollbacks in the field of manufac-
tured and processed commodities.
Second, its primary interest at the
present time lies in the fact that it
also provides a means for indi-
vidual companies to obtain an ad-
justment of their ceiling prices on
the basis of a formula of the high
est prices prevailing in January to
June, 1850, plus increases in all
labor costs, material costs and over

VETERANS news

being discharged now. Their most
frequent questions concern their
rights to Government life insur-
ance. This is the first of a series
Of four articles prepared by Vet
erans Administration that will at
tempt to answer these questions.
Insurance After Discharge
Two new types of low-cost Gov
ernment life insurance are avail
able to eligible veterans of the u.
S. Armed Forces who served any,
where in the world since the Ko-
rean Campaign started on June 27,
1850.
The first of, these two types is
non-convertible five-year level
premium term policy that may be
renewed every five years at the
premium rate for the then-attained
age.
The secondtype is special form
of National Service Life Insurance,
on either term or permanent plans,
that may be issued to disabled vet
Grams whose disabilities have been
found to be service-connected.
In this article, we will discuss
only the five-year level premium
term plan. The special NSLI pro-
vided for disabled veterans will be
discussed in the next article.
To qualify for the five-year level
premium term policy (under Sec
ton 621 of the NSLI Act, veter-
ans must have been ordered to ac-
tive duty for 81 days or more; they
must have served since June 27,
1850, and they must have been re-
leased from active service.
These veterans are eligible, with
out physical examination, for a
five year level premi m term
policy in amounts ranging from ST.
600 to $4,000, les any other Gov
ernment life insurance in force at
the time of application.
They must apply in writing to
Veterans Administration, Washing
ton 25, D. c., within 120 days after
their release or separation from
active service, and pay the required
first premium.
The premium rates for most ages
under this policy are the lowest of
any Government life insurance yet
authorized by the Congress.
While this policy may be renewed
every five years at the premium
rate for the then-attained age, it
is not convertible to any other
plan of Government life insurance,
nor will it earn dividends.
Because it is a term policy run
ming for only five years, it does not
have any loan value, cash surrender
value, or extended insurance value.
It merely provides life insurance
coverage while premiums are be-
ing paid for the five-year period.
A veteran taking out this type
of policy may name any person
or persons, firm or corporation, or
his estate as the beneficiary or
beneficiarieS to whom payments
shall be made in event of his death
while the policy is in force under
premium-paying conditions.
Death payments made to the
beneficiaries are exempt from tax
alton, but the exemption does not
extend to any property bought
with this money. These payments
also are fully exempt from claims
of creditors against the insured
veteran or his beneficiary or bene-
ficiaries, but this exemption does
not apply against the United States.
Veterans who plan to apply for
this insurance may do SO immedi-
ately following separation or re-
lease from active service, but they
must meet requirements within 120
days after separation or release.
For further information, veter-
ans should contact their nearest.

to contribute few of my own.
use a clothes pin bag shaped
and tied like an apron. In it !
keep also a cloth that I use to
wipe the lines. Into it also go all
those odds and ends that the
boys will leave in their pockets, as
we'll as the socks when I take
them down.
When putting sheets through
the wringer I gather up one hem
med edge and feed it through tie
machine. 1t then falls into the
basket in such a manner that it
becomes an easy matter to re-
move it, throw one end over my
arm, put a pin in the ends, and
hang the doubled shelvegeS along
the line, using three pins, one in
the center. Then, why dry, I'M
fasten the end pins. bring the ends
together, take out the center pin
and the sheet is neatly folded for
pressing.
I use a plastic cover in my bas-
ket, and after I have Sprinkled
the clothes, fold this down over
them. l find that I can safely
leave them for several days in this
way.
Now I am wondering if some
of you readers may be able to
help me. I intend to open non
profit home for working mothers
with children in this area. 1t will
be a sort of club, where mother
and child will live and have their
meals together and where the
child will be cared for while the
mother is at work. Do any of you
know of any such homes now in
existence and what do you think
of the idea? Any help, criticism
or information will be gratefully
received.
