§ Question Mark Pitchers Go As Scene Shift
Both Teams Make Lineup Changes for Ebbets Field Tilt
New York 001 0 Broo 000 1
By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor 5
NEW YORK, Oct. 7—The Brooklyn Dodgers, back in the familiar confines of Ebbets Field, and the New York Yankees went at it again teday in the third game of the World Series with two questionmark pitchers—Ralph Branca and Tommy Byrne—trying to carry on what has been the best hurling classic in history. Manager Burt Shotton of the Dodgers, who had been undecided, announced definitely an hour and a half before the start of the game that it would be Branca, a fast ball right hander who won 13 games while losing five this year. Rex Barney, another problem right hander, also had been ready to go. Casey Stengel of the Yankees nominated Byrne, a 15-game winning southpaw, to.put the Yankees out in front in this series, which was tied at one game all when Preacher Roe shut out the Yankees, 1 to 0, yesterday. Both Unpredictable The feeling war that the tight pitching which the Series has seen thus far was about to end, although when Branca and Byrne are good, they are very good. Byt they are unpredictable and neither usually ear match the expert control pitching which Roe showed in beating Vic Raschi yesterday or which Allie Reynolds exhibited when he edged out Don| Newcombe ir the first game. Stengel went back to his platoon system for the first time in the series, benching left fielder Johnny Lindell and third baseman Billy Johnson, who hit righthanded. He had used them when Newcombe, a right - hander, pitched the opening game, for big John kept the Yankees in the American League pennant fight with a game-winning homer on Saturday against the Boston Red Sox.

$1 Billion Error in
B-36 Construction BY CHARLES CORDDRY
WASHINGTO ON. 0 afta ” Toy Arthur W. Radford gravely told Congress today| that a split of “malignant proportions” has developed in the U. S. military high command over what he called the false theory that wars can be won| with an “atomic blitz.”

Radford voiced hope that any enemy craft which might try to attack this country would be no better than the Air Force's mammoth “bad gamble.” The Navy hierarchy, Secretary Francis P. Matthews d Adm. Louis E. Denfeld, chief of maval| operations, had tried to get the committee to exclude the public from the hearing. But the com-| mittee ruled that the public had! a right to hear what the Pacific fleet commander had to say. The public responded by jamming the hearing room. Though Adm. Radford said he was speaking only for himself as a citizen and student of warfare, he was voicing beliefs strongly held by many other high ranking pioneers of naval aviation. One of them, Capt. John G. Crommelin, faces probable court martial for making public this + {week confidential letters to Mr. Matthews in which Adm. Radford and Vice Adm. Gerald F. Bogan supported Capt.

The Arctic—" Friend or Foe
@ There IS something new in military planning — the Polar Concept. As it affects us, it means this: @® Long-range bombers could attack portions of the United States. and Canada through the Arctic regions— although they might reach few strategic targets and return to their bases. President Truman’s announcement that . the Russians have set off an atomic explosion makes the ° Arctic our most strategic frontier. ' @ Canadian defense men in Ottawa and ours in Washington are aware of its significance. They know they're . facing a common’ danger; that the defense of one neccessarily involves the defense of the other. @ Scripps-Howard Newspapers sent their military writer, Jim G. Lucas, into Northeast Canada and Greenland to survey the situation. He visited a cross-section of stations well inside the Arectic Circle, some only a few. hundred miles from the North Pole. @ Mr. Lucas’ report will

Attorney Held In Babies Sale
NEW YORK, Oct. 7 (UP)— Attorney Irwin Slater, accused of operating a black market in babies with fees as high as $2000 for bringing infants from Florida to New York for adoption, said today he was “proud of” anything he had done. An investigation by the Catholic Charities Bureau in Miami resulted in the arrest last night of the attorney in his Times Square office. Under a New York welfare [aw dealing with the adoption of children, he was charged with transporting children here from Miami since last February. He was released under $1000 bail for a hearing today. Officials said the offenes was classed as a misdemeanor with a maximum penlty of a $500 fine or one year in jail, or both.
