Dodgers Win On Return To Ebbets Field New York, July 28 — (UP) — Back In the friendly, noisy confines of Elibels Field, where they have everything from Hilda Chester's cowbells to Gladys Goodings pipe organ to cheer them on, the Brooklyn Dodgers were set. today to make a serious bid for the pennant. All -season the experts have insisted that they couldn't do it and they have confounded them by doing it anyway. Now, the showdown stage has been reached and the burden of proof is strictly on the shoulders of manager Leo Durocher's "ferocious gentlemen.” Five and a half games behind the pace-setting Chicago Cults and a game and a half behind second place St. Louis, the Dodgers play eadi of tile weaker eastern clubs before going up against the more potent western teams again. They opened their four game stand at home yesterday against the Braves and did it successfully, winning, 3 to 2, behind rookie Ralph Branca’s pitching. All of the old crowd welcomed tile Dodgers yesterday including Miss Chester, the number one feminine fan and Miss Gooding, the “maestriss” of the ball park organ. Typically, the Dodgers came from behind, scoring all their runs in the eighth after an error. The Cubs won their 10th straight from Cincinnati, 2 to 1, in the ninth when three singles brought in the winning run for Claude Passeau's 11th victory. Bueky Walters lost his first game in six starts. Vince Dimaggio’s two-run homer in the 11th broke up a scoreless pitching duel between Oscar Judd of the Phils and Hill Voiselle of the Giants, Philadelphia winning, 2 to 0. Judd yielded only three hits. Sylvester (Blix) Donnelly of the Cards edged Elwyn (Preacher) Roe of the Pirates, 2 to 0. Each pitcher gave up only three hits hut one of Roe’s was a two-run homer be served up to Elvin (Buster) Adams.

Eighl-Montti Wage Dispute Is Settled Increase Is Granted To Railroad Unions Chicago, July 28- (UP) —An eight-month wage controversy between the Chicago, Aurora and Elgin and t'he Chicago, North shore and Milwaukee railroads and their operating unions was ended today under a compromise agreement calling for a general four cent wage increase. The settlement, accepted by the employes and the electric lines, provider for an increase of four cents an hour for conductors, motormen, collectors, freight brakeman and .switch tenders. The increase was made retroactive to Dec. 28, 1944. The compromise was reached after a 10 day hearing before a three man special federal mediation panel, appointed by President Truman. The chairman, Justice Roger I. McDonough of the Utah supreme court, said the proposed increase would be submitted to the office of Economic Stabilisation for approval. The unions involved are the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. The mediation panel was appointed after workers threatened to strike in support of their demands for increases ranging from 12 to 27 cents per hour. EXPECTSENATE (Contlnu«d From Pare One) 1.

The new international courts of justice, he said, "will become a great force for world betterment.” The General Assembly, he added, is "the common meeting ground of the nations which shall support this world organization.” “Democracy,” he said, “lives in the assembly, breathes in it.” When he had finished the Senate, profoundly affected, stood for a moment in .silent tribute.

Such a maneuver would open the way for a march on Singapore, 600 miles to Jhe south.

NIP PREMIER SEEKS (Continued Fiom Page One) anese people realize how futile it is to continue the war. The U. S. 20th air force put a punch into the Potsdam ultimatum a few hours after it was issued by listing the names of the next 11 Japanese cities which will be destroyed by bombs. It was an unprecedented move in an unprecedented war for one belligerent to tell another where it would strike next. Il was a dramatic challenge to the Japanese power to resist the powerful forces of superbombers which spearheaded the war against Japan’s home islands. o The greatest euiwii to be satisfied with low (deals.

Stale Insurance Tax Law Is Held Illegal Expect Litigation To Hiqher Courts Indianapolis, July 28—(IP) The Prudential Insurance Company has won a test case ”i its attack on the legality of a three percent tax collected annually by the -state of Indiana from out-of-Blate insurance companies. Marion County Superior Court judges yesterday held the tax illegal and apparently set in motion lengthy liiigation in higher The state collects some $3,000,000 a year from out-of-state companies under provisions of the law. Prudential sought return of

$452,000 in premium taxes paid last year. . Attorney General James A. kininert announced that the ata>e would file an immediate appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court if a motion tor a new trial is overruled. Attorneys for both sides have stated that the case would be taken to the U. S. Supreme Court. z A five-man panel ruled in the majority opinion that the Indiana premium tax law discriminates "unconstitutionally against foreign insurance companies.” A minority opinion said that the tax was not an undue I arden. Emmert said that it would require a special act of the legislature if the money had to be returned. Until a final decision from the Supreme Court is obtained, the state will continue to collect the taxes. FLAMES LEAP (Continued From Page One) but I must say that I am not too satirised at what has happened. We hear these planes all the time and frequently they sound like they are coming awfully close. Fortunately the building was not too full of tenants this morning because so many people take Saturday off. I don’t know what happened to the people on nie floor where the plan struck. This was a variable foggy morning.’Sometimes 1 could see other buildings in the neighborhood and then the fog would close in and I couldn’t Bee anything. That is the way it was when I heard the plane roaring in. It was rain. Now at 10:30 I can hear noises from the, street below. Glass seems to be falling continually. Returning to my office after the . blast I saw how lucky it was that 1 1 got out into the hall. I would

have been full of splintered glass ’ if I’d been in here when it hit. ( The first firemen have reached us on the 75th floor. They came I panting up the etairs and said any- | body who was able could start walking down the 75 flights. They ,-uid the fumes were clearing out.

the new prime minister to Potsdam. King George VI received the old and new government ministers at Buckingham Palace this morning. First came the retiring members of the defeated Churchill administration to hand in their seals of office and to take leave of the king. The ministers came at flve-min-1 ute intervals with Lord Simon, ex-lord chancellor arriving' first at 10 a. m. He was followed by - ex-foreign secretary Anthony Eden* Then came Lord Woolton, ’ ex-president of the council. Sir ‘ John Anderson, ex-chancellor of ’ exchequer and Lord Beaverbrook, 1 ex-lord of the privy seal. The British public today appar- ’ ently felt slightly “let down” because Attlee pulled no sudden surprises, but chose solid workhorses as cabinet keymen.

However, this probably was due more to reaction from the dizzy pace since labor’s astounding landslide victory, rather than to any actual disappointment regarding the newly chosen men. Certainly there was no surprise in the selection of Ernest Bevin, husky and capable minister of labor under Winston Churchill, for the important role of foreign secretary. There was slight surprise that Herbert Morrison, named leader of the house of commons and appointed lord president of council, didn’t receive higher cabinet recognition. * However, his appointment as house leader signified he will be assigned the all-important task of whipping through the house — with its top-heavy laborite majority—the new government s sweeping domestic program including nationalization of certain industry."
