N. J.. Apr. 5. — (UP)— Johnny Lindell takes hl* pie-induction physical today at Camden. N. J. If the Yankee outfielder passes, and he thinks he will, manager Joe I McCarthy will need a new clean | up hitter. And left-handed Bud Metheny may be just the man for the spot. The soft spoken southerner i* the only Yankee outfielder who generates anything like the hitting power the bomber* used to have. Metheny didn’t make much of a record last year. He spent most of 'he season dusting the bench But he got into the game late in the season and showed plenty of power at the plate. Then last winter he was cla*sifled 4-F. due to an old knee injury, a hurt he got playing playing football for William and Mary. So now .Metheny is one of the Yankee regulars. And hi* workouts this spring show that he may be the 1»44 club powerhouse. Last weekend, the Yankee* got only 13 hits. And Metheny made four of them. George Stlrnwelss. Nick Ktten and Bub Metheny probably will be this year’s Yankee slugging trio. o GOVERNOR DEWEY (Continued From Page 1) to President Roosevelt in th- I Democratic primary.

Bibles Not Made To Stop Bullets Soldiers' Bibles Not Breastplates Washington, Apr. 5. — (UP) — Those- biilk-t-proof Bibles you read so much about probably couldn't stop one bullet in 1,000.(100. At least, that * the opinion of Dr William Darby, Washington secretary of the American Bible society. He i* perturbed at the Idea that anyone might want to carry a Bible for physical rather than spiritual protection. The bullet-proof editions, for sale throughout the country, are fortified with a thin slice of steel. They're supposed to be carried in the soldier's breast pocket, to protect his heart against bullets or shell fragments. Darby reports that the American Bible society has supplied more than 2.U00.U0V tree testaments to servicemen. These, he says, have the same slim chance of stopping a bullet as the steel-encased copies. “Anyway " he nrotests. "soldiers don’t carry Bibles as breastplates. A friend of mine who's an overseas chaplain tell* me that serviceMarshalls also were attacked No further details have been received on the three-way blow by a naval task force east of the Philippines. Navy secretary Knox said yesterday that our fleet sunk or damaged every enemy vessel found at Palau, Yap, and Woleal.
