Senators Win Double Header From Detroit New York, July 21—(UP)—The wise guys took a first look at Signified Jakucki’s pitching and guessed "that the "strawberry roan” of the St. Louis Browns soon would be back on the Texas sandlots as a seini-pro. That was in 1944 during the first swing around the circuit for the amazing Browns, whose followers hadn't got used to their leading the league. The Browns might stay up there, they hoped crossing their fingers, but Jakuchi —not much chance. He just didn’t look like a big leaguer. Today the Browns are back and Jakuckj is up but they aren't. How neatly the. Galveston, Tex., paperhapger fooled the experts, makes one of the most pleasant success stories of war time baseball and the scoffers now are pulling hard for him to make the grade in peacetime. The Yankes wouldn't know how he does it, but were ready to testify today that the ex-star of Ray Dumont's semi-pro tournament at Kan., brought along a fine bag of tricks when he came to the majors. Big Sig used both his bat and his arm to beat the Yankees, 4 to 3, yesterday and old Al Hollingsworth followed with one of his better days, winning the second game, 3 to 2, to give the Browns a sweep. Washington turned the tables on the leading Tigers, moving back within three games of the top with 4 to 3 and 3 to 1 victories. Well pjtched games by Emil Leonard and Roger Wolff provided the margin. The Tigers in a losing cause executed the first triple play of the major league season when second baseman Eddie Mayo snared a line drive in the seventh inning of th? second game. He threw to shortstop Skeeter Webb to catch George Case off second and Webb’s quick throw to first nailed George Myatt, who had a long lead. The Athletics defeated the Indians twice at Cleveland. Louis (Bobo) Newsom chalked up his third straight victory after 12 straight defeats to win the second sante, 3 to 2, after Jess Flores won the opener, 8 to 3. George Kell got a first'game homer for the A's. Brooklyn “almost” won a'ganic' against the leading Cubs at Chicago. The Dodgers held a 10 to 1 margin after eight innings when proceedings were suspended because the Dodgers had to catch a train. The game will be completed in September. Pittsburgh caught Bill (ComplexI Voiselle of the Giants on one of his "down” days and hammered him unmercifully to win, 13 to 5. He coiildn’t hold a five-run lead, being hatted out when the Pirates made three runs in the fourth and six in the sixth. Relief pitcher Walter (Boom Boom) Beck won his first game as a Pirate. There were no other National League games scheduled. Yesterday’s star —Dixie Walker of the Dodgers who batted in five runs in one game for the second

May Fly Money Bills To Truman To Sign Morqenthau Hails Action By Congress Washington, July 21. —(UP) — The possibility was seen today that two bills designed partly to speed the. rehabilitation of Europe would be flown to Potsdam, Germany, for President Truman’s signature. The bills, both given Congress' final stamp of approval yesterday, would authorize U. S. adherence to the Bretton Woods monetary agreements and increase the capitalization of the U. S. export-import bank. Rushing the bills to President in German would impress on other countries the tremendoue importance this nation places in the two measures. No other nation has yet acted finally on Bretton Woods. The Bretton Woods agreements are made up of an international monetary fund and international bank for reconstruction and development. Both are designed to speed rebuilding of the world’® economy and the material losses of war-torn sections. The bank is to be capitalized at $8,800,000,000 and the fund at $9,100,000,000. Into the two funds the United States would pour nearly $6,000,000,000 (B). The export-import bank under its new go-ahead will have its capitalization upped $2.800,,000,000 (B) to $3,500,000,000. Retiring secretary of the treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr., hailed the congressional action as a major move toward enduring world peace. He said that as long as there is prosperity there will be peace. The two, he said, are indivisible.

Rotation Sleeping Planned On Pullmans United States Army Plans Experiment 'Washington, July 21 —-(UP) — Train-riding G. I.’s are going to test a plan of sleeping in shifts in an effort to get more uee out of t'he limited number of Pullman® available. The army announced that ii lias authorized an experiment in "rotation sleeping" on a troop train leaving Camp Kilmer, N. J., tomorrow for Fort Sam Houston. Tex. lAccording to the plan a group of 512 soldiers just returned from overseas will lie broken up into units of two. Eaclt pair will be aoaigned two places on the train- one a Pullman berth, the other a coach seat. Willie one member of a pair •leep < in the lierth the other will ride jn the coach seat. When the first’s sleeping t“ishrft” is tended the two will change places. Army official® said their transport officers will decide today just how long each man is to have Tn the coach and how long in the Pullman. The war department eaid the guinea pig soldiers will be "asked at Fort Sam Houston what they think of sleeping in shift®. If their report is favorable, it added, the army might adopt the plan. The army said the syetem would make more coach and Pullman space available for soldiers and

civilians. Meanwhile the office of defense transporation has asked both th* war and navy departments to “double up" on coach and Pullman accommodations for G. I.s and gobs. ODT requested that hereafter three servicemen be assigned to ea<’h four-seat section. In Pullmans this will allow two servicemen to each lower berth and one to each upper. In coaches it will leave one evtra seat for “stretching.” The army said it has been doing that right along. The navy, however. said it has been assigning only one man to a lower berth. — o—— COURT HOUSE Marriage License A marriage license was issued this morning to Miller D.

Both reside in Van Wert, O. 0 UNITED STATES (Continued From Page One) Until today’s development the government had been pinning its hopes on plans to revive quickly coal production in the Ruhr. Tiie concensus now is that this program must have been bogged down so severely that U. S. coal is now deemed necessary to bridge the gap until Ruhr production rises. o There is a quiet courage that is unmistakably in one who is certain he is led of God.

WLB Seis Itself Above Stale Laws Position Buttressed By 11. S. Hiqh Court Washington, July 21 — (UP) The war labor board today set itself above new state laws passed to offset WLB policy on maintalnance of membership and other forms of union security. In deciding a Florida case the WLB said its decisions superseded state constitutions as well as state laws. It decided that the vote last November by the people of Florida for a right-to-work amendment to their state constitution was not binding upon the board. The decision was the board's first involving labor legislation approved in last November's elections or enacted by 1945 state legislatures. It was regarded as a precedent for decisions which may involve similar state acts or constitutional amendments approved in Arkansas, South Dakota and other states. Heretofore the WLB has claimed only that its orders are above state laws which conflict with its rulings, state courts have Upheld that stand. The WLB said it was guided by the federal constitution in denying an appeal by J. Tom Watson, Florida district attorney, on behalf of the St. Joe Paper Co., Port St. Joe, Fla., from an order of the Atlanta WLB granting maintenance of membership to the

company’s 450 employes. The workers are represented by three AFL unions. The board said the war labor disputes act was passed by congress pursuant to the federal constitution and therefore WLB decisions under that act are superior to any state constitution or law. The act provides that the WLB shall determine the wages, hours and all other terms and conditions of employment where a labor dispute threatens to interrupt war production. The board's position was buttressed by the fact that the United States supreme court has thrice refused to review court cases over the right of the WLB to order maintenance of membership. o CHINESE-TROOPS (Continued From Page One) 150 Japs in the area 10 miles west of Toungoo and caught another party of 30 soldier® busy digging in the Taunggyi neighborhood. 117 mile® east of Meiktila. -Seventy- Japanese attempted - to steal into Le Einzu village, 26 miles northeas of Pegu, yesterday but they were driven off and chased by Gurkhas.

BIG THREE MEET (Continued From Page One) That view was supported by the continued absence from the conference room of Marshal Gregoty K. Zhukov, Premier Stalin’S top military adviser. In addition, there has been no announcement of any joint meeting of the three military delegations, allhough each group undoubtedly has held separate discussions in the past week.
