Spokesman For Gen. MacArthur Denies Report Denies MacArthur Favored Entry Os ' Russians Into War NEW YORK (INS) — An army historian’s report that Gen. Douglas MacArthur was Thoroughly in favor” of Russian entry into the Pacific war in 1945 was branded false Tuesday night by the general’s spokesman. Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney (USA Ret.), the World War 11 Far East commander’s longtime aide, issued his statement in reply to a magazine article written by Louis Morton in the current issue of "The Reporter.” Whitney stressed that Morton gave no specific source for his information and cited no official record. He declared: "Such allegation is not even pretended by its author to be supported by pre-Yalta official documents originating with Gen. MacArthur but instead rests solely upon unnamed sources to whom it is claimed such a viewpoint was conveyed by Gen. MacArthur ‘at the time of Yalta,’ just whatever that may mean in historical timing." The Yalta conference of the Big Three leaders was held Feb. 4-11, 1945. MacArthur has stated previously that he neyer_ was consulted before that meeting on the desirability of Russian entry into the war at so late a date. He has said if he had been asked he would have recommended against Russia’s entry because Japan by then already was on the verge of defeat. Whitney, blasting Morton's statement that MacArthur voiced views in favor of Soviet entry to “more than one visitor ... at the time of

Yalta,” stated: "Heretofore the main prop for those who are seeking to shift the responsibility j and blame for the Yalta conference decisions upon Gen. MiwArthur, has been an entry of doubtful value in a so-called Forestal diary which reports one side of an elleged conversation incorrectly stated to have taken place in the city of Manila on Feb. 28, 1945, between Gen. MacArthur and secretary of the navy Forrestal. Presumably that entry is the basic sources to which the “Reporter’ article refers.” Good Friday Service At Lutheran Church The three-hour period of darkness that prevailed while Jesus Christ hung upon the cross of Calvary wIH be cpmmemmtM Good Friday at Zion Lutheran church. West Monroe Street, with a service beginning at '12:30 p. m. and lasting until 1:50. The service features the entire reading of the passion history with the lessons interspersed with appropriate hymns and prayers. The children of the Saturday Bible school will take part in the service singing two hymns: "Jesus, Tenter Savior,” and "Fling out the Banner!” A small card containing a beautiful colored picture of the crucifixion scene will be given to each worshiper attending this service. The Decatur public is invited to attend this service conducted while the stores and factories are closed. The pastor of the Church, the Rev. Edgar P. Schmidt, will be in charge Red Love_i VIENNA (INS) — Red movie producers behind the Iron Curtain are forced to admit it —a good old love plot is essential to make Communist films box-office successes. The controlled satellite press has appealed to the film industry to combine political propaganda with some kind of love story so that film audiences won’t suffer from endless idealogical indoctrination.

Cincinnati Is Threat Tigers May Strengthen By Howard Slgmand 43 (I. N. 8. Sports Writer) CINCINNATI REDLEGB Watch out for the (Redlegs! Klu's on first and the fence denters from Cincinnati pack the power of an H-thing. The only factor saving the rest of the National League is that the Redlegs have an Achilles* heel—insufficient pitching strength. Pennant stories invariably are told on the pitching mound. The Redlegs figure to make much trouble—possibly join the first division—but they don't shape up as likely to power their way to the flag. Last season the Redlegs scored "29 runs. But Cincinnati pitchers yielded 763 and the hurling doesn't seem to have improved enough to make things radically different in 1955. The rundown of the roster: Catching — Low batting averages by Ed Bailey, Hoble Landrith and Andy Seminick. Pitching — The three best the Redlegs had last year were Joe Nuxhall, Corkey Valentine and Art Fowler. Gerry Staley, acquired from St. Louis, should help. Infield — Very good. Home run king Ted Kluszewski is on first; Johnny Temple on second, Roy McMillan at short and Ray Jablonski on third. Jablonski, who adds more power, detracts from the de* sense. Bobby Adams and Rocky Bridges are good reserves.

Outfield — Solid and powerful. Jim Greengrass. Gus Bell and Wally Post are the mainstays. Consensus—The addition of Jablonski gives the club even more hitting strength than it had last season. Defense and reserves are adequate. But the pitching is a gigantic question. DETROIT TIGERS Look for the Detroit Tigers to be a stronger team in 1955. Manager Bueky Harris ip molding an outfit that appears ready for a toothsome assault on the American League’s first division. The team has been improved and if it gets the pitching (that old universal problem) it could very well escape the second division. Here’s the Tiger shapeup: Catching — Frank House is the top receiver, but he hit only .250 last season. Harris has been testing rookies. -*(•«> ‘ •- Pitching — Bengals have a big staff with some promising youngsters. The question is, how good will it be . . . The aces still appear to be Ned Garver and Steve Gromek. Infield — Harris would prefer to line up with a sound Ferris Fain (first), Fred Hatfield (second). Harvey Kuenn (short) and Ray Boone (third). Fain's bad knee may prevent this. Jackie Phillips shapes up as good all-around utility man, - Outfield — A real bright spot shinning with youthful talent. Bill Tuttle, Al Kaline and returned serviceman J. W. Porter are the top three. John (Bubba) Phillips, another ex-GI, has impressed Bucky. Jim Seising and Steve Souchock are experienced reserves. Consensus— Fifth place, possibly fourth. Book Sale LONDON (INS) — For the first time in history a nation wide book sale is underway in Britain. More than 700 bookshops throughout the country’are offering over a million books at cut prices. Booksellers have undertaken to reduce by at least one-third the price of books which have been in their stock for 12 months.

Major League Teams Testing Veterans By International News Service Major league. baseball clubs, which start playing for keeps on Monday, have virtually ended their exhibition experiments and are placing their big guns on thb firing line for the full test. Bob Lemon of Cleveland and Sal Maglie of the New York Giants, who also started against one another in the first game of the World Series, became the first of their respective clans to go the full nine-inning distance Tuesday as the search continued for open-ing-day lineups Bob Turley also went all the way for the-New York Yankees but only Lemon, as he did in the fall classic, lost. Maglie looked sharp in scattering eight hits, as the Giants won, 5 to 1, to even their spring series with Cleveland at eight apiece with two games remaining. Lemon gave up nine hits but four of them came in the ninth to score four runs. Monte Irvin homered in the fifth and ninth -and rookie outfielder Bob Lennon added another in the ninth for the Giants. For the first time since leaving Phoenix, the traveling champions did not draw a sell-out crowd. Only 5,938 witnessed the contest at Columbus, Ga. Turley, American League strikeout king with Baltimore last season, gave up four hits in the Yankees' 2-to-l verdict over their Birmingham farm club at Knoxville, Tenn. He got the fast ball past 11 rival batters. But the Yankees also had an anemic hitting day, managing just four. Several other noteworthy pitching performances were turned in. Kansas City smashed WinstonSalem, 20 to 4, with Oscar Vanbrabant and Art Ceccarelli allowing five hits. Bill Renna homered twice for the A's and Vic Power once. At Louisville, Bob Buhl and Ernie Johnson combined to blank Brooklyn, 8 to 0, on five hits while Milwaukee batters blasted Karl Spooner and three relievers for 13. And to make matters worse, the Dodgers’ hopes of a complete recovery for Spooner took a tumble when their strikeout sensation reported his left arm was as sore as ever. . Twenty extra-base* hits, including nine home runs, were chalked up at Greensboror N. C., as the Philadelphia Phillies beat Boston, 17 to 1% and then, 8 to 2, in a five|nning itteroiece. ! Jim (flKmmßaitoeanMMNtene. er helped Cincinnati bury Washington, 13 to 2. Pittsburgh beat Baltimore, 5 to 4, at Columbia, S. C.; the Chicago Cubs topped Beaumont, 3 to 1, at Beaumont, Tex., and St. Louis defeated the Chicago White Sox, first 6 to 3, and then, 3 to 1, in a five-inning nightcap at Longview, Tex. 4-H Demonstration On Roofing May 5 The public is invited to attend a 4-H roofing demonstration at the Earl Landis farm three miles west of Monroe on May 5, states county agent Leo N. Seltenrlght. L. E. Archbold, co-op fieldman, is the 4-H metal roofing project leader. He and the 4-H members enrolled in the metal roofing project will be assisted in the demonstration by John Foley, Purdue agriculture engineer. The purpose of the demonstration will be td refasten, clean and paint a galvanized roof. The roof will be painted with a zinc based paint. This type of paint is recommended by Purdue agriculture engineering department as the zinc paint bonds with the metal roof, even where rusted. The roof will also be grounded. This treatment will extend the life of a galvanized roof for many years.
