Little Heed 1$ Paid To Mexican Problem Boston. July 9.— (UP) - Baseball's big problems of the 1946 season, raids by the Mexican league and unionization of players by the American baseball guild, were treated lightly today by the National and American League executives. Basehall commissi.-n*r A. B. (Happy I Chandler said neither question was brought up in the joint major league session yesterday. which marked the last time In which official business can lie transacted until Dec. 4, when the club owners meet again in Lon Angeles. However, director Robert Murphy of the players' union, said he had invited Chandler and presidents of both leagues to meet with him and dim-uss the problem* of unionization

Murphy, whose headquarters are here, said that he wauled to propose a minimum salary of |«.i»00 a year for all major league player*, a percentage of sale price for all players involved in trades, and Insurance and benefit plane. Chandler said the question of union representation would be up to the individual club owners and that ihe matter did not concern the leagues as a whole. Murphy, whose request for a session with the two leagues was made public after the executives adjourned their sessions, said he was convinced forces were at work to defeat hiu program. The principal positive action taken at the meeting was the voting of a substantial portion of the receipts of today's game to families of the nine players of the Htrokane, Wash., team recently killed in a bus accident. There were a number of player transactions discussed, but only one appeared to Ire ready for completion. Catcher Frankie Hayas of the Cleveland Indiana reportedly would go to the Chicago White Sox after the all-star game today. g. 600-Pound Boy Dies Os Pneumonic Monday

July 9- (UP I - Vice Admiral W. H. P. Blandy. operation crossroads commander, considered a proposal today to allow airborne observers to approach ax close as 10 miles to Bikini lagoon when the atom bomb is exploded underwater in a second text July 26. Col. Robert Snider, radiological safety officer for the project, said he had made such a recommendation to Blandy when studies show ed "the danger area of radiation would be confined to an eightmile circle as wo had predicted for the first test." In the first text, when the bomb wax exploded in the air, observers were excluded from a 20-mllea radius lest they should be perilled by harmful radiations from the deadly atomic cloud.

Brig. Gen. Roger Roger Ramey, commander of air units, taking part In the atom texts, said he has asked Blandy Io By a B-29 directly over the underwater blast to take photographs. "Observations have convinced us that safety factors will permit such a flight with reasonable safety factor at 30,000 feet and a, definite safety factor at 36,000 feet,” Ramey said. The B-29 would fly downwind at a speed of between 600 and COO miles an hour. Ramey said. It would take the blast waves roughly eight seconds io reach the plane,” and by that time we hope to be out of the danger area.” Meanwhile, Blandy announced that If the able-day atom bad exploded over the battleship Nevada as Intended, the 30-year-old warship would have been sunk or totally disabled. Instead, the bomb exploded at a distance Variously estimated at from 600 to 1.900 fed! from the Nevada, near the transport Gilliam. The Gilliam "sank in a matter of seconds, ’’ Blandy said. Divers found the Gilliam's hull ripped open vertically in two different places and her stack was "shredded like a bouquet of Bowers." he added. Blandy spiked for once and all reports that the bomb bunt higher in the air than Intended. He said that although It mhsed Its aiming po!“- radially, st went off exactly at the planned height. —o— . Barney Oldfield was the first automobile racer to drive a ear a mile a minute. lEmg The Chicago Plan Commission estimates that 100,WO dwelling tfeit* will bo needed by the end of 1948 to meet th eneeds of those seeking homes. .

Brothers Evaded Draft Four Years Hid In Tiny Attic At Parents' Farm Chicago, July 9 — (UPI —Four husky brothers were in tederal custody today after confessing that they bad hidden in a tiny attic room on their parents' farm for four years to evade the draft. • The brothers, ranging in age from 23 to 4tt yearn, surrendered to Federal Bureau of Investigation agents after learning that a nationwide search was being organ ized for them. George R. McSwain. Chicago FBI director. Identified the men as the Gadilel brothers, Albert, 40; Frank, 28; Henry, 28, and Ernest, 23. He termed II one of the “most aggravated cases of draft evasion of the war.” FBI agent Rd ward W. Halloran, who had been engaged In a game of hlde-andseek with the four brothers for the [ant 24 months, said they had escaped detention by barricading themselves In a tiny coiner room of their parents* home at Ontariovillo, about 16 miles northwest of here. He said they had left their room only on moonless nights when they Mimetimes exercised l.y running up and down a cow path on a lonely part of the farm. Halloran, recalling his prolonged search for the elusive brothers, said they never showed themselves although a close watch was kept on the farm house. On each of bis many trips to the Gabriel farm, he said, the parents gave no indications of their sons’ whereabouts. Halloran said the parents “put on a show" for him whenever he visited the house, and Mrs. Gabriel invariably feigned illness. The elder Gabriel, he said, frequently exposed a cancerous wound on his neck and professed inability to speak, mumbling Incoherently in response to questions. After the boys gave themselves up yesterday, the parents admitted they had spent their entire savings of 11,600 to feed snd clothe their sons during their confinement

The brother*, pale but apparently little the worse for their experience, appeared relieved at ending their self-imposed confinement. They all nlendm! guilty asd were held to the grand jury under (6,000 bond rach. As a final Ironical touch, FBI agents eaid that the youngest brother, Ernest, was s cripple and probably would not have been ac cepted for military service. — -n Indiana Farm Price Index 1$ Increased UFsyette.

July 9.-(VP)-Eddie Dyer, clad Incongrusouly In a baseball uniform and carpet slippers, sat In a hot little dressing room at St. Petersburg lael spring and picked the Brooklyn Dodger* ar the team to beat for tbe National League pennant. "If we are within five games of them on July 4 we will have a good chance to win,” Dyer said a* coaches .Mik* Gonzales snd Bussy Wares nodded agreement. Tbe Cards were one game behind schedule on July 4. trailing by sis And. aS both leagues call time for today's all-star game, tbe Card* are just five garnta off the pace They have made up tw< and a half game* since test Wednesday. Which remind* the National League figure fanatic* of 1942— the year the Dodgers had a 10 game lead as la'e as Aug. 6 and rtlll blew the pennant by two game* to the flying Redbird*. That's the year when on July 4. when tbe leader Is supposed to lie tae ultimate winner, the Dodg era had an 8 * game margin and appeared to lie in. But suddenly the Cards got hot and in the drive down the stretch overtook and passed the Flallmsh flock It’s nice to roll up a cozy little lead now but there's no denying that late August and September performances provide the payoff. “I expect It may take us until mid July to get organized,'' Dyer said during spring training. “All I'm hoping is that we can stay ctose enough.” Fire games Is Idst that, plenty close. Because in 1942 as late as Aug. 24, the Dodgers held a fat 7-Mi game lead over the Cards. That s when they op,ned a fourgame, series—and the Cards won
