soon. The Kentucky Democrat, moved almost to tears by the high tributes of his senate colleagues, was given a big send-off yesterday in the closing moments of the day’s session in the ohamiber. It was started by 79-year-old Sen. Hiram Johnson, iR., Cal., who crossed over to the Democratic side and described Chandler as a “man of undisputed guts.” Shaking his finger at the 46-year-old Kentuckian, Johnson admonished him to “Ibe yourself- haselball is peculairly representative of this ' country. See that, it represents you.” "4 have observed you from the time you came into the senate,” he said. “I have watched you. What a boon you are to baseball. Here's to you.” Chandler arose in response and said: “As long as I live I'll neve.’ forget those words of approval from one of the greatest men America ever produced. I promise you. Senator Johnson, that 1 will keep baseball clean.” Earlier, Sen. William Langer of North Dakota, another Republican, interrupted a speech on banking to say: ”1 see that the junior senator from Kentucky has just entered the channlber. I want to the the first to congratulate him. We’re going to miss him very much.” Chandler, discussing the all-star game told the United Prtss that if V-E day comes before July, the de-

Yankees Push Into Central Mindanao Little Resistance Is Offered By Japs Manila, Apr. 26.—(UP)—Troops of the 24th division pushed into the hills of central Mindanao today in a lightly opposed drive that carried less than 45 miles from Davao. Disorganized Japanese forces put up only scattered resistance as the Americans thrust to the village of Manaboan, midway between Davao and the invasion beaches, on the east coast of Moro gulf. Since the landing the 24th division has moved rapidly over the comparatively flat coastal terrain but was now entering the central hill country most of which atili is unexplored. Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced that Filipino guerrillas had cleared the province of Ilocos Stir in northwestern Luzon of organized enemy forces and now were mopping up scattered Japanese remnants. The province is just south of Ilocos Norte, which previously had been cleared by the Filipinos, and it gave MacArthur’s forces complete control of the northwestern corner of Luzon. American troops, however, ran into strong opposition as they drove within a little more than a mile northwest of Baguio, former Philippines summer capital southThe biggest shipping bag was al east of Ilocos Sur province. Hainan island where a 4,000-ton

Merle Shoemaker To Montpelier School Merle Shoemaker, basketball coach and mathematics instructor at Hartford township high school, hae announced his resignation to accept a similar position with the Montpelier high .school. Mr. Shoemaker served three years at the Hartford school and will succeed David Craig at Montpelier with the opening of school next September. o Indianapolis Beats Columbus, 9 To 1 By United Press Robert i-iogan held Columbus to five hit«s yesterday while the Indianapolis Indians pounded out a 9-1 victory over the Red Skins. The game was called in the seventh inning because of rain. ■ln other American association games, Minneapolis whipped the Milwaukee Breiwere 7-4 and Louis ville beat Toledo 8-4. The game between St. Paul and Kaneae City was postponed. o Passeau Blanks Reds As Cubs Win, 4 To 0 New York, Apr. 26. —(UP) —The pennant that Billy Southworth of the St. Louis Cardinals wants to win most of all may be the hardest to attain. He seeks the. 1945 flag as a memorial to his 26-year-old son, Maj. Billy Southworth, Jr., himself a ball player, whp died when a Superfortress 'he was piloting plunged into the waters of New York’s Flushing bay last winter. Ironically, the same army that took his son, has a lien now on the services of three key players, catcher Walker Cooper and outfielders Stan Mueial and Danny Litwhiler, without whorp he probably would not have won the 1944 pennant. The round-faced little Cardinal pilot wants it that way. He knows the army needed all thoee young men including his son, who distinguished himself in heroic missions over Germany before coming home to die in an accident off peaceful shores. (But there is no escaping the fact that there ie trouble ahead for the Red Birds, whose chief contenders for the flag, the ChicagS Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates, didn’t suffer comparable losses in manpower. Cooper, latest -to leave, is considered by many the key to the Cardinals’ success in winning three straight pennants. A check of Cooper’s 1944 record reveals his supporters aren’t too far pff in their conclusions. In the 88 games he caught last season, he handled the winning pitcher 63 timeu and the loser in only 25 games for a .716 average that was 34 points higher than the team’s .682 standing. The rangy younger brother of pitcher Morton Cooper has held up his end in batting too. His 1944 average of .317 was third on the club and he was fifth in runs batted in with 73, a high figure considering he appeared in only 112 games, many merely as a pinch hitter. Cooper, who said he had played his last game for the duration, leaves for induction Monday witli ihe best ±945 average of Cardinal hittens, a .389 mark that is fifth in the league. Southworth has only one, man left, Johnny Hopp, who hit above .300 last season and he too is slated to go into the service soon. In the only major league game played yesterday, the Cubs moved a full game ahead of the third place Cards by beating the Redd at Cincinnati, 4 to 0. Claude Passeau, 36-year-old right hander; started the Cu4»s to victory with a homer in th? third and singled in another run in the seventh while holding the Reds to five hits. All of the other games were postponed because of rain. Yesterday’s star: Pitcher Claude' Passeau of the Cubs, who beat the Cincinnati ace. Bucky Walters, 4 to 0, contributing a homer and single in his five-hit triumph. freighter-transport, three small freighters and 15 barges were sunk and a 1,000-ton freighter-transport probably sunk while trying to slip out of Yulin harbor. — o —. Food Stains A point to remember in removing food sta’ns is that hot water sets some spots, such as those made by blood, meat juice, milk and egg. In a mayonnaise stain, for instance, the egg substance will be cooked in the frbric by boiling water. In using all solvents remove the stains from the wrong side. When you attack the stain from the right side, you have the task of driving the soil all the way through the fabric, whereas If you spot remove from the wrong side, you drive the soil right out. I o Cooking Macaroni Always put macaroni into boiling salted water to cook It, and keep the waiet boiling. The hot water drained off is rich in nutrients and may be used in soups and sauces.

Ship Designer Donald McKay’s plans revolutionized the sailing vessels and method of handling in his generation. His creation, extreme clippers, included the "Flying Cloud,” “Challenge,” "Red Jacket,” "Sovereign of the Seas” and "Great Republic,” largest clipper ever built. His genius for designing sailing ships of speed and beauty has never been surpassed. , , . .—u Indiscriminate That man is quite impartial; he lies about everybody.-Samuel Johnson.
