than Bartell was sending with
the result that Umpire John Stev-
ems warned Guerra, who ex-
changed words with the third
base coach until Manager Bucky
Harris made his first appearance
Of the season on the field.
After a discussion with the UNI

was restored.
| Mickey Harris was sizzling yes

complained to the Mats front
Office and to Bucky about not
starting games. It isn't true.

has hit safely in 13 straight games
and the Mats Gil Coan has a
string Of nine.
Jerry Priddy. the Tigers second
baseman, was irked when Cass
Michaels slid emphatically into
him In the seventh inning to break
up a double-play attempt. but it
didn't go beyond the scowling
stage. About 1000 schoolboy
safety patrol members were guests
Of the management, joining the
Mats smallest paid gathering of
the year. 1858.
The last time a Washington
pitcher gave up 16 hits and went
the distance to win was when
Ferrell won a 1873 decision over
the Athletics in the 1888 opener.
Mickey Vernon was denting
the rightf1eld fence in batting
practice yesterday and may re-
turn to his first base job tonight
or tomorrow.
Mike McCormick's recent hit
ting has lifted his batting average
to .293. but Mikes fielding has
been more spectacular. In the
Mats home stand he has startled
the customers with half a dozen
amazing catches. Yesterday
he streaked to the rightfield line
for Priddy's looper in the fourth
inning and in the fifth he roamed
across considerable geography

Stork Club,
LiquOrBOard
BaIk Probe

NEW YORK For the second
time, the Stork Club, has ignored
to give a specific statement as to
its serving policy. Sherman
Billingsley, proprietor of the Tex
elusive" club, has maintained a
defiant silence despite the two
requests from the Mayors Com
nnittee on Unity. His only answer
thus far has been that his club
caters to "the peoples of the
world" According to Chairman
Arthur Wallander, the Committee
had framed a second official re-
quest to Billingsley in order to
have that statement clarified.
The NAACP is considering
seriously an appeal to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey on the refusal
of the State Liquor Authority to
hold public hearings on the La
Baker Incident. The National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People had hoped that
with the hearings in public,
they would be able to call on i'm
portant witnesses to prove viola
ton of the States Alcoholic
Beverage Control Law and civil
rights laws. The SLA is claiming
that it has no jurisdiction in
cases involving discrimination.
But the NAACP is retaliating
with Article 5, Section 65 of the
ABC law which states that serv-
ice Shall not be refused, with
held or denied to any person on
account of race, creed, color or
national origin"
Meanwhile 10 Baker in Detroit
seemed overwhelmed by the turn
of events since her rude treat
ment at the Stork Club on the
night of October l6. The exotic
entertainer is completely quiet
now about the affair. Any mem
ton of the incident almost brings
tears, but she will not talk about
it unless to her very closest of
friends.
Miss Baker has kept all clip
pings of the affair and can quote
to the letter statements made
about her whether true or un-
true. According to friends, she
is letting the affair 60 its normal
course and reserving her right to
act at the appropriate moment.
On stage, she is still her warm,
vibrant self.

NEW YORK - New light on
Josephine Bakers services to the
Allied cause during World War
II has lust been shed by revela-
tions of her heroism and self
sacrifice, contained in an unpuo-
lished account of her anti-AXls
activities. A recently compiled
short survey Of her war record
written by Cok jacques Abtey,
her former cornmandant in the
Free French forces, reveals that
the famous star not only con-
tributed her talent to entertain
ing Allied troops of all nations IN
North Africa, but was one OF the
most trusted persons who partlcl-
pated in the planning OF the
Allied invasion of North Africa
in 1912.
The survey covers the years
1s39-1e4S and gives highlights OF
her work as a liaison officer at
+ached to the intelligence service
of the Free French Army. 1t dls-
closes the previously Unpublished
fact that Miss Baker was present
when the Allied invasion Oh
North Africa was planned. Prior
to the invasion itself on Nov. o.
1e42, Miss Baker, though Ill IN
bed at the Clinique Comte IN
Casablanca, conferred with
Allied secret service agents on
preparations for the attack. TO
her sick room at the clinic came
American, English, French and
Arab officers and agents to DIS

Looked at Girl" Case
Ends In MistrioI

YANCEYVILLE, NC. - The
strange case of the man accused
of assault" for looking at" a
17-year-old white girl from
distance of rs feet, ended in a
mistrial today, as a jury of eight
whites and four colored told
Judge J. A. Rousseau they could
not reach a verdict. Judge Rous-
seau announced the case would
be put on tn calendar fo rretrial
at a subsequent date.
The hung jury resulted when
after five and a half hours of de-
liberation, two of the twelve
jurors held out for acquittal and
ten for conviction of Mack In
gram, 44-year-old father of nine
children, who both sides agreed
was never closer than seventy
five feet to Willie Jean Boswell.
Attorneys for the NAACP who
were defending Ingram, did not
place him on the witness stand
because it was felt that the State
had no evidence that could con-
vict him.
Ingram had been previously
convicted of assault and SEN
fenced to two years at hard
labor. When he appealed and
was released on bail, Caswell
County Solicitor Ralph ]. Scott
called a grand jury which rein

hour of D-Day. When American
forces entered Casablanca, she
got out of her bed, though not
yet recovered from an intestinal
operation and entertained the
troops.
She sang and danced for inVa-
sion troops in Casablanca and
was personally commended by
1t. Gen. Mark Clark, United
States Commander, for her serv-
ices to the Allied cause.
Abtey also describes a dinner
at Taylor House in Marrakesh in
1943, when Miss Baker occupied
the guest of honor's place to the
right of Robert Murphy, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's personal repre-
sentative in North Africa. Pres
ent at the dinner were General
Clark, the late General George
Patton and many high ranking
diplomats.
The Supreme Commander OF
the British forces asked Miss
Baker to make tour of British
camps in Libya and Egypt to
entertain thousands of troops.
Though seriously sick she made
the trip and for 81 days lived in
the field in pup tents. She drove
her own jeep through thousands
of miles of desert country, ap-
pearing in such battle locations
as Tobruk, BenZhasi, Bardia and
Sollum.
"For two months" the survey
states. Josephine Baker moved
from Allied camp to camp in
North Africa performing for
many thousands of troops, IN
Guiding American units, even
during bombings by the Luft-

to the "intent to rape" charge,
but were denied the motion with
regard to the lesser charge -
assault on a female. It was on
this charge that the jury de-
liberated and could not reach
agreement.
Fred Upchurch, Jr., in summing
up the defense, asserted that the
whole case was the result of a
girls overvivid Imagination, a
fathers natural concern, and an
officers overzealousness in an
attempt to be Sherlock
Holmes" He told the jury that
my home county and not Mack
Ingram is on trial here"
Martin A Martin, NAACP at
torney from Richmond, Va, tore
apart the States contention that
bcause the 9 5steps Ingram took
covered a distance of 236 feet,
they were therefore running
steps" Martin pointed out that
this stride of not quite two-and-
a-haf feet was smaller than the
walking step of the average man.
He said that the defendant had
not pursued the girl, but had
walked in a different direction,
seeking to borrow a trailer to
haul wood.
