Detroit Wins Double Header From Yankees New York. Aug. 13—(UP)— Any dangling doubts that the Detroit Tigers mean business about winning the American league pennant were dispelled today after weekend debuts by the two pitchers they picked up as "flag insurance”. The Tigers aren't comfortably in front as yet—only two games to the good with the tough Washington Senators dogging their tracks —but there is good reason to think that they have established a trend which will hold them during the waning weeks of the season. ht?t Yesterday genial Jim Tobin, the exponent of the fluttering "crawl ball” made his Detroit debut as a relief pitcher in the ninth inning against the visiting Yankees. The Yankees swung themselves weak for three innings against his tantalizing tosses and got nowhere. Then he broke their hearts in the llth a three-run homer to produce a 9 to 6 victory. Tobin, top home run hitter among major league pitchers, connected with a 400 foot drive to end the game. Russ Derry had tied the score with a homer for the Yankees, sending the game into extra innings. After Tonin's feats, Hal Newhouser had an easy time of it in winning his 18th game, 8 to 2, in the nightcap, backed by 12 hits and four Yankee errors. Roy Cuilenbine got a Tiger homer. The Senators got only a split at St. Louis, winning the opener, 9 to 5, as exßrownie Mike Kreevich Jed the 13-hjt attack wrttfli two doubles and a single. Bob Mttncrief pitched five-hit ball for the Browns in taking the second game, 4 to 1. The White Sox lost their first Sunday game at Chicago this season when Philladelphia won the opener. 7 to 0, behind Jobs Flores’ four-hit pitching. Chicago retaliated to take the second game, 5 to 3. George Kell, with four bits and a steal of home, paced the A's in the opener. Dave Ferriss, Boston’s redoubtable Rookie, won his 19th game against five feats, beating Cleveland. 7 to 1. but the Red Sox succumbed to the steady pitching of another Ex-0. I. Rookie Pete Center, who hurled an 8 to 2 victory for Cleveland in the second game. It was his sixth straight win. Chicago bulged its lead to six and a half games with 4 to 3 and 12 to 6 victories o\er the Phillies at Philadelphia in the National. Paul Erickson, striking out eight, won 'he first game in which Phil Cavaretta, key player, suffered a shoulder injury that may sideline him a week. Hank Wyse had no trouble winning his 18th game as the Cubs supported him with 18 hits in the second contest. Brooklyn and St. Louis, Battling

(Wtlinals first basemanj Ray Sanders made a remarkable unassisted double play, taking a ground ball and cutting over toward third to catch a runner off that base then racing to second and putting out a base runner there. Ken Burkhard outpitcbed Hal Gregg in the second game, 3 to 0 Cardinal victory in which George Kurowski headed the hitting with a homer and single. Homers gave the Giants 3 to 2 and 6 to 5 wins over the Reds at New York, who now have lost nine straight. Danny Gardella's two-run homer gave Van Lingle Mungo his 12th win in the opener.

First Football Call Issued To Yellow Jackets A sure sign of the approach of autumn was in the air today as Dan Perry, athletic director and head coach of the Decatur Yellow Jackets, issued his first call to aspirants for the 1946 Decatur high school football team. Coach Perry today requested all candidates for the grid squad to report at the high school gymnasium at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning to receive health certificate blanks, which must be filled out before the candidates are permitted to engage in practice sessions or actual games. The head coach also announced that suits and other equipment will be distributed to the football candidates Friday and Saturday. Actual practice for the season will be started next Monday, August 20. The Yellow Jackets face a ninegame schedule for the season, a schedule which is one of the most attractive ever offered to Decatur football fans. Six of the scheduled nine games are slated to be played at Worthman field, all under the lights. The season opener will be played just three weeks from Friday night, when the Bluffton Tigers appear at Worthman field on September 7. Other teams which will appear on the Decatur gridiron are Portl land, Auburn, Warsaw, Columbia City and New Haven. Warsaw and New Haven, new members of the Northwestern Indiana conference, will be seen in action against the Jackets for the first time. Only out-of-town tilts for the Jackets are at Portland, Garrett and Bluffton. o FIFTY FIVE MILLION (Continued Fvom Page One) Germany, 6,000,009 to 12,500,00. Poland Military 900,000.

In all these cases, none is subject to surtax. A man with a $5,500 income, a wife and one child would find his tax bill lessened by $135 per year. 0 MORE WAR (Continued From Page Ore) especially over the prospect of widespread unemployment until reconversion can be achieved, chairman James M. Mead., D., N. Y„ of the senate war investigating committee did not think the outlook was so grim. Mead said that “developments of the last few days” have greatly strengthened his confidence that reconversion can be handled without serious economic dislocation. He evidently was referring to disclosure by reconversion director John W. Enyder that government procurement agencies were • beginning large-scale cutbacks in war contracts and the revelation that master VJ-Day reconversion plan would be put in force by the war production board. 20-CENTBOOST (Continued From Page One) the general assembly, primary and general election expenses and other contemplated expenditures total $261,536 for next year. The budgets will be viewed by the Adams county council in session on September 4, and final local viewing will be given by the county tax adjustment board. In the 15 or more acres of landing field, a strip 300 feet wide and about 2,200 feet long has been cleared for landing and take-of of planes. The field has been designated as a commercial airport by the civil aeronautics administration, third region, in Chicago.

ALLIED CARRIERS (Continued From Page One) third fleet’s carriers. Several were shot down, between 5 a. m. and 2 p. m., the dispatch said. Bad weather over Tokyo itself prevented most Allied planes from getting through to the capital so the pilots hit coastal airfields and targets of opportunity. One force hit a submarine base at Shimoda on Sagami Bay south of Tokyo with 1,000-pound bombs. Lt.' (j|g.) Francis Yurrell of Winthrop, Mass., dropped a bomb between two submarines moored close together. Other attacked Kiryu and Nagano airfields, 55 and 110 miles northwest of Tokyo respectively. Pilots said they had "good hunting.” The carrier planes began their assault at dawn after Japanese aiiTraft 'made an abortive attack on the fleet and another torpedoed a major American warship anchored in Buckner Bay at Okinawa Sunday night. Extent of damage to the warship. presumably a carrier or a battlesliip, was not determined immediately. A Japanese communique said Japanese submarines sank a large sized "plane carrier used by hydroplanes” off southeast Okinawa last night. With the Tokyo raid, the third fleet ended a respite that had prevailed since a few hours before Japan announced her surrender* offer Friday night. A dispatch from the fleet said the main target of the American and British planes was “a vital war plant—a plant the Japanese must have if they decide to continue the war.” o RED AMPHIBIAN (Continued From Page One) south of Rashin. also wae in flames ' from Soviet air attack and may be the next objective of Admiral Ivan S. Yumashev’s amphibious troops. In Manchuria, Marshal Alexander M. Vasilevsky’s three far eastern armies gained up to 80 miles in swift advances toward the military and railway hub of Harbin, 150 miles north of Changchun. The Eastern and Western arms of the Mammoth pincers closing on Harbin were within 500 miles of a junction. Closest to Harbin—l7s miles—was the eastern column. A Japanese Kwantung army communique said still another Soviet column striking across Japanese controlled inner Mangolia captured Wuchumutsin, a three-way road hub in the desert wastes 55 miles south of the outer Mongolian border and 460 miles from the Yellow sea. A drive to the sea above TienL sin in this area would split off hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in China, Indo-China and Malaya from the defenders of Manchuria. It also would cut off the southern sector from all further supplies and reinforcements by land from Manchuria, Korea and thence the homeland. The Soviet Khabarovsk radio, heard by the United Press in San Francisco, told the Far Eastern armies that their orders were to “advance Rtlll faster?’ Treat every one with politeness, even though they are rude to you.

PETAIN TRIAL MAY (Continued From Page One) that he did want to become entangled in politics. He recalled that Petain once refused to be a candidate for the presidency because his physicians were unable to assure him seven more years of life. “Petain has not returned to France to give his head,” Payen said. “His head is yours if you want to take it. It is his honor he id defending. He is here for that alone." Payen said the defense had been refused access to Petain’s state documents which were seized at Vichy and asserted that some witnesses now in the government service had been refused permission to testify for the Marshal. Speaking mostly to former resistance members on the jury. Payed praised Frenchmen who left France to fight with Gen. Charles De Gaulle but asserted that “it was someone’s duty to remain.” t Petain, he said, remained an enemy of the Germans and managed to keep the French fleet out Os Nazi hands. »j The defense summation was expected to be concluded tomorrow, with the case going to the jqry immediately afterward. The test of our tolerance comes when we are in the majority. ,

Shortly after 10 P- m ' charles Ross, White House secretary, issued this statement. “President Truman went to bed about an hour ago. If an^* nng comes in he’ll be notified. There is absolutely no word of truth in the report that the President has announced that Japan has accepted the Allied surrender terms. The flash sent off celebrations in some places. In Washington a crowd of 7,000 in front of the White House sang Patriotic songs. In New York whistles blew and motorists sounded their horns. A speech which Prime Minister MacKenzie King had prepared for the day of victory over Japan was broadcast by transcription in Canada. o TOKYO SAYS ALLIED (Contlnund From Page One > Meanwhile, the Allies prepared to unleash unprecedented blows against the Japanese if they decide to stall indefinitely. More atomic bombs are ready for use. President Truman waited at the White House for the news which would mean that World War II was over —except for the final formalities of signing the surrender articles. At No. 10 Downing Street in London, Prime Minister Clement Attlee went to work early to be ready for the expected word that Japan was ready to endorse her defeat. In Switzerland, where the Japanese message will be relayed to Washington, communications were functioning normally and no delay was anticipated when the time comes. A radio service message from Tokyo to Switzerland intercepted by the federal communications commission at 1:20 a. tn., EWT., today indicated that the Japanese reply to last Saturday’s surrender note shortly would be on the way. "Still coming,” the message said. “Please wait. How are receiving conditions.” This was one of a series of intercepted service messages indicating that the Tokyo station which will transmit Japan’s' reply through Switzerland to the United States was expecting the momentous document hourly. Tokyo radio also broadcast that Hirohito hh'fl received foreign minister
