One Bocker
Still Need
OF Juniors

Because of a ten-day lapse in
the schedule, the East Cleveland
Little League and Pony League
seasons are still in their infancy.
No one team has loomed as a top
heavy favorite to win a league
title but some of the avid rooters
are lavish in their praise of their
favorite nine.
The Junior League, the latest
addition to the local baseball pro-
gram, has proven to be very popu-
lar with East Cleveland diamond
fans. The four-team circuit ap-
pears to be well-balanced with
Gene Bratcher's General Electric
Lite Sox leading the league at
this writing with a Al record.
A new backer was obtained last
week which leaves only one team
without financial support from a
local merchant or civic group. The
new sponsor is the Honegger
Pierre Catering Co., of 1880 Hay
den ave. The other two hackers
for these teams whose players are
in the 1917 age group, are the
General Electric Co. at Nela Park
and the East Cleveland Kiwanis
Club. 1t is hoped that a backer
can be obtained in the near future
for the orphan" club which is
managed by Budd Andrews.
The Junior League teams play
at Forest Hills and Pattison Field
on Tuesday and Thursday evenings
at $3.50 p. m. The schedule calls
for two halfes of three complete
rounds in each with the winner of
each half slated to play in a two
Observation-Disclosures series for the
league title.

BY he As.eeiatsd Press

PARIS, Feb. II. - Christian
Pineau completed a proposed
government lineup early today
but within a few hours three Of
his So nominees Withdrew at
their party's request. AL were
followers of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle.
Their action sent Mr.. Pineau
scurrying for requirements. He
had hoped to ask the National
Assembly tomorrow to approve
his cabinet and confirm him as
the nations first Socialist premi-
er since i947.
Those who withdrew were Ed

had been named to the justice
ministry: Pierre Ferri. named to
the ministry of posts. telephone
and telegraph. and Andre Gau-
bert, secretary of state for COM
merce.

ALI are members Of the repub-
lican union for social action
(URAS).
Two GaulliSts chose to stay in
Mr.. Pineali's government-Mau-

roux, secretary of state for air.
Both held the same positions in
Pierre Mendes-France's govern

retaries of state, whose posts are
below ministerial rank but are
part of the government: Social

Shaky Government Seen. s
Before the URAS detection,
the most favorable estimates had
given Mr.. Pineau less than $40
supporting votes in the 627-
member chamber. With likely
absentions. that should have
assured his confirmation but
promised a shaky government
with a brief life expectancy.
Mr.. Pineau was called in by
President Rene Coty Monday to
try to form Frances 21st post
liberation cabinet-a task in
which both. Antoine Pinay, Con-
servatiye Independent, and Pierre
Pfiimlin of MRP had failed.
If Mr.. Pineau wins Assembly
approval, he will be thes first
Socialist Premier since Paul
Ramadier's government resigned
in November. l947. Since the
1851 elections, the Socialists have
even refused to serve in any
cabinet because Of their adamant
stand for a program completely
in line with party principles.
However, they voted solidly for

feat on a vote Of confidence

In Arkansas

JONESBORO. Ark, Dec. 9 (P).
An elderly Negro says he Or
dered his teen-age son to leave

SOLDER TECHNIQUE
FOUND FOR GLASS.
OTHER MATERIALS

SANTA FE. N. Mex. R.--
A new technique for solder
ing materials like aluminium,
stainless steel, glass and ce-
ramics without special equip
ment has been developed at
Los Alamos, 1t was announced
today.
The new method Of join
ing materials believed i'm
possible to solder before was
developed by Joseph c. Nc
Guire Of the University OF
CALIFORNIA; scientific labora-
tory.
1t requires only q hand
grinder with an abrasive
wheel along with the usual
soldering materials.
To solder previously uI1-
solderable materials, the
grinder Is turned on and the
abrasive wheel placed on soft
solder, which melts and flows
onto the surface Of the
wheel. The solder LOADED
wheel is then applied to the
surface to be soldered until
a slight amount. of abrasion
takes place. The heat Of the
friction melts the soft solder
which flows onto the freshly
abraded surface and forms
contact.
