Red Demonstrators
 Interrupt Award
 ITO Gen. Marshall

OSLO, Norway, R - Commun- ist demonstrators shouting "This is no peace candidate" yesterday interrupted the formal ceremonies awarding the 1853 Nobel peace prize to Gen. George c. Marshall.
 A stunned audience at the Oslo University festival watched as the demonstrators showered anti Marshall leaflets upon them.
 The audience had come to wit ness the presentation to Marshall in recognition of the IT billion dollar postwar European aid plan which bore his name.
 A group of about 20 young Communists, who sneaked into the gallery despite a check at the entrance, shouted in unison: 'This is not peace candidate Marshall 20 home.' The leaflets were head ed with the words: we Protest!"
 Police rushed to the galleries and quickly overpowered the demon stratorS.
 The interruption came as Gun mar Jahn, president of the Nor wegian Nobel Committee, started to read the official citation scroll. A gold medal and $33,840 in prize money were also awarded to Mar shall.
 When things quilted down, Jahn calmly continued his speech and handed the Nobel scroll and gold medal, both encased in gold stamped green leather, to Mar shall.

The Smyrna Public Schools will
open for the fall term on Wednes-
day, September 6. Extensive re-
pairs have been made during the
summer months, placing the public
school building in the best physical
condition they have been in many
years.
The cost of repairing the dam
age to the roads of the State
wrought by the recent storm will
amount to more than 100000, ac-
cording to estimates made yester-
day by w. w. Mack, chief engineer
of the State Highway Department.
This repair work will give employ
ment to so and probably more ad--
ditional 1aborers for period of at
least two months.
Smyrna is under the banner OF
the Blue Eagle. The N.R.A. En-
blem is displayed in practically
every store and business place.
Factories are running under their
4O-hour codes. Shorter hours are
enabling them to spread employ

noticeable increase in this respect
as would be found in cities and
larger industrial centers.

Enters Third Round
BY the Associofed Press

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, May Sam Snead and
Ben Hogan lock-stepped at the
front of the Greenbrier Open
golf parade going past the half
way point today.
The two favorites for the $4,000
first prize were a stroke apart,
with Snead, defending champion,
holding the edge. Snead had the
same 81 score on the first two
18-hole rounds over the par 10
Old White course for which he
is the pro. There are another
36 holes to go today and to-
morrow.
Hogan dropped a stroke back
from hts first-round Ct. Pete
Cooper of White Plains, N. Y.
who also had an opening ST.,
was two strokes higher the sec
ond time around to slide into a
third-place tie with Lou Barbara
of Deal. N. j.
Barbara, a rare tournament
competitor in recent years, hit
the magical 81 figure after start
ing with SO. He was aided great
ly by a 135-yard iron shot for
an eagle 2 on the second hole.
Neither Snead nor Hogan is
satisfied 50 far with his per-
formance which aren't near to
their past accomplishments on
the same course. Hogan, now
five strokes ahead of par, beat it
by 81 in winning three years
ago. Snead won the last two
II and 16 strokes better than
par.
It is Snead's home course and
he thought he had a real sub
par second round coming up
when he was three ahead on
the first five holes. But he
bogeyed the ninth and then got
only one more birdie the rest
OF the way home. Hogan had
a much tougher time. He was a
stroke behind par on the first
nine and then turned in three

The Braves victory kept their
record perfect in their new Mil

bad weather, they have been

The visiting clubs, however,
are apt to take a strong dislike
to the 4-foot wire fence in right

cized it after the opening game
and last night frankie Baum

was carried from the field on a

ported as good. He suffered a

Now that they've got the place

fits.

two away from being trouble
some to the pennant contenders.
But the youngsters have won
8 of their last 10 games and
are only a game and a half out
of first place.
Fresh from a highly successful
jaunt through the West. the
Red Sox came home last night
and, to the delight of a fine
crowd Of 33,O55 fans. grabbed a
spectacular 81 verdict from the
Yankees, their first success
against the world champions in
13 starts.
Billy Goodman, one of the few
faces Boston fans can recognize
in the rejuvenated lineup, belted
a foul-line-hugging homer over
the rightfield wall with one out
in the 18th inning to give Hector
Skinny Brown the decision
over Johnny Sain. Boston's
other run also was a homer
Dick Gernert's fifth of the year.
Brown Gives Up Seven Hits.
Brown, a North Carolina right
handler who came to Boston in
the February deal that sent Vern
Stephens to the White Sox, hand
cuffed the Yankees on seven
singles, struck out five and walked
only one man.
The victory was Browns Sec
ond straight complete game, one
more than he pitched all last sea-
son for the White Sox, where as
a rookie he had a 2-3 record.

tween the Yankees and Red Sox,

of the New Workers by whipping

can League club owners last
March II, D'Alesandro has re-

be made to clinch the deal for

Last Wednesday he proposed
a stunt to demonstrate the city's
continued interest in a major
league franchise. D'Alesandro

trip to st. Louis to watch the
Browns play.
The Sun said it learned the
meeting between the AS Spokes-

before the Mayor announced his
junket-to-St. Louis idea. The
meeting resulted from overtures
by the Philadelphia representa-
tive, it added.
Although the St. Louis Browns
have been and still are the team
the Mayor has been trying to
bring here" it said. "the fact
remains that Baltimore's main
interest is getting a (any) major
league club"
