Since then it has been his chief pleasure in life to blast the Yan- ■ ker* He has won two games with ! homers, contributed to other triumphs with timely hitting and brilliant fielding, and it is no coin- ' tddenee that Cleveland has topped the Yankees in five out of six games since he came back to the L club in June. In those six games he has batted .364 against the Yan- ■ kees, whereas his overall average is only .330. Heath hit his peak in his first , two games at Yankee stadium, winning the first with a three-run ■ homer and hitting two more intd the bleachers yesterday as the Bronx bombers got bombed 16 to 4.

He went through the trap at 12:40 and was pronounced dead at 12:55. Both men died in what remained to them of their German uniforms. They were to be buried in the prison cemetery here, each was married, Straub the father of one child, Gauss three. Both were captured by the British in Sicily. Tile two Germans were convicted of slaying Host Guenther, a fellow prisoner at Aiken, on April 5, 1944. Guenther, a kitchen orderly, was lured to a tent where Gauss and several other prisoners were waiting for him. Gauss accused him of being a "traitor to his oath, flag and fatherland” and charged he had divided milk unfairly between Americans and German prisoners, had reported other prisoners to American officers for taking too much food, and had revealed a threatened strike. Gauss then threw Guenther on his back on a cot where Straub placed a rope around his neck and choked him to death. o CARRIER PLANES (Continued From Page One> cats, Avengers and Helldivers are doing today. They had never seen before today these single-engined planes which strafed their airfields and bombed ships around the southern port of Hakodate.

AMERICAN SHIPS (Continued From Page One) by surprise when the American fleet rose out of the sea 275 to 450 miles north of their capital. While a massive carrier taslj • force raced up through the northern fogs to loose its planes against the hiding place of the Japanese air force on northern Honshu and southern Hokkaido, the surface fleet, numbering at least nine battleships, cruisers and destroyers, wheeled in to bombard Kamaishi from ranges of only five to 18 miles. With the attacking force were some of the most powerful fighting ships afloat, including the 35,000-ton battleships Massachusetts, Indiana and South Dakota. Added to the plunging fire of their 16 inch guns were the eightinch shells of the 13,000-ton heavy cruisers Chicago and Quincy and the lighter fire of the destroyers Olack. Erben, Heerman and Sutherland. o Secretary To Chile Envoy Visits Here Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Bowen of West Madison street have as their guest over the weekend Miss Rebecca Shaw, secretary to the ChilI ean ambassador at Washington. !

These walkouts are now in their fourth week. In its letter to the union the WLB said that "the disputes appear to include demands for contract tenewal clauses .some of which have been the subject of local negotiations but others of which have not. "The Union is also described as objecting to consideration by the board of issues relating to accept- . ance by the employers of the 1945 general laws of the ITU. The ITU replied that “the cssen- , tials of a union contract, hereto- , fore recognized by publishers all over the country, pre now being enforced by unilateral action in any situation where the publishers have refused to include in the contract definite commitment of the observance and operation of the general laws of the ITU in any contract negotiated.” The ITU said -the WLB “does not have authority to determine working conditions and must confine itself to matters of stabilization." NAVY FLAG OFFICERS (Continued From Page One) made so that certain officers "combat experience may be utilized in administrative posts ashore to plan and direc.t the final phases of the intensified Pacific war." Other reassignments were made to return officers who have pass ed the statutory retirement age to inactive duty. The remaindei of the reassignments were made to fill vacancies created by the transfer of officers to shore posts and by retirements.
