* ' i t f « 4 » f 4 » f ^ « < -I v hi -4i > i^. t Ship Cattle in Aerial 'Noah's Ark' â€" Two by two, like the animals boarding Xoah's Ark. cattle move to the ramp of a DC-4 plane flying fropi New York to Italy. This shipment of animals, weighing 11,000 pounds and believed to be the largest ever flowri overseas, included seven bulls, two heifers, 50 pigs, an English setter, two cocker spaniels, two fox terriers and 15 leghorn chickens. All were pure stock for breeding purposes. '/ A SixbitCqiTic Baseball is one sport that has al- ways had more than its share of downs and screwballs. Some of them â€" like Nick Altrock. "Goot'y" Gomez and Al Scliacht â€" were actu- ally very smart characters, piilling on the laugh-getting stuff deUberately •nd keeping many's the customer from falUng sound asleep during one of those "pitcher's battles" which lound so thrilling in print, and are so dreary to watch nine times out ot ten. * * * Dizzy Dean was another of this type. He popped off in print and icted the buffoon on the tield in such I -»i3»aortfr that many considered him just a trifle nuFty, to put it extra politely. But the same Mr. Dean knew what the score was- at all times, in addition to ser\ing up some of the . imartest pitching the game ever knew. * « * Then there's the other kind of clown â€" lads with natural ball-playing ability but whose mental reflexes are somewhat slower than their physical ones. They are the sort who cause managers' hair to grow prematurely gray, like the character they tell about who came up in the clutch with the bases loaded, and his team seven runs behind in the score. » • « Naturally, in such a situation there was only one thing for the player^â€" a really good long-distance hitter â€" to do. That is try and wallop the ball out of the park. But when he went into the hatter's box he kept glancing at his manager who was coaching at third. The manager paid no attention to him being engaged iii trying to rouse the crowd's enthusiasm and start a rally. « * « Finally before the first ball was pitched to him, the batter called "Time" and walked down the third base line. Bending to whisper into the manager's car he said, "What, do you want me to do here f" Uhe manager looked at him in mingled amazement and disgust. "What do I â- Â»aiit you to do?'' he said sarcastic- ally. "Whyâ€" strike out, of ceuise." So the character strode back to the plate and swung wildly at the first tlirtc pitclies, missing every one of Ihem for a foot or so. * * * This "Yogi" Bcrra â€" who upeiales for the New York Yankees and who •laiiy win recall, from last year's World's Series, as the catcher who almost let the Brookl\n Dodgers rteal the championshi[) â€" appears to have the makings of a real screwball. He really can powder that horschide, however, wliich is doubtless why so many of his catching mistakes, both mechanical and mental, are over- looked. « * • There was a time, according to Eddie Froelich, former trainer with tte Yankees, when Berra got the idea that it was his duty to drive in all the New Y'ork runs. He was swing- ing at anything and everything until finally Manager Bocky Harris said to hini, "Wait until the ball comes over the plate. Take a base on balls once in a while. When you get up into that baiter's box. start thinking I" « « * So the very ne.xt time Berra went to bat and let three strikes go past him, right down the middle. Then he came storming back to the bench and broke his bat on the bat rack. "What happened?" asked one of his team mates, sitting in the dugout. "What happened ?" Y'ogi screamed. "How can they expect anybody to think and hit at the same time'." « « • And while we're on the subject of baseball, a word of e.xplana- tion and apology. Some weeks ago this column had something to say about Babe Rutli's book "My Hits and My Errors" written in colla- boration with Bob Considine. For the most part we praised the book as a really interesting addition to the sports shelf â€" which it really is. * * * But in the course of our "review" we did â€" or attempted to do â€" a bit of mild kidding about the wav coauthors had ended their tale, hold- ing it up as a glittering example of the tendency of athletes, and sports writers, to slop over from sentiment into sentimentality. The whole trouble was that, in some mysterious maimer, our quotation of the final sentence in the Ruth opus failed to appear in print, which must have caused some of our readers to wonder what we were trying to get at â€" if anvthing. * * * ~ So here it is! "For. above every- thing else."- writes Mr. Ruth with an assist from Mr. Considine. "I want to be a part of and help the deve' pment of the greatest game God ever saw fit to let man invent â€" Baseball." Hot dog ! ! I "Ignorance ..." "Once and for all I want to know who is boss in this house," the irate husliand demanded. "You'll be so much happier if you don't try to tind ou.t," replied his wife, sweetly. CEMENT U. S. A.

In Washing- ton and in London they think tliat Europe as a whole needs German production â€" and that to get Ger- many back into production is the best way to help all Europe and to cut down the heavy costs of occupa- tion. To this view tb.e French have consistently made t!ie answer that they must put their own security ahead of all other considerations â€" and wlien one tb.inks of what the German menace has meant to France in the past, they can hardly be blamed. From the French viewpoint, the most important issue of all is the Ruhr. France has long battled for complete allied control of that great industrial basin, because she sought to obtain thereby the coal she needs for her steel industry and because she thinks control of the Ruhr would be the best guarantee against Ger- many's rebuilding a war machine. In the accord reached at London an international commission â€" on which France would be represented but not Russia â€" would control the oper- ation of the Rulir and supervise the allocation of its coa!. coke, and steel. In such an allocation France would be generously treated. General De GauUe, has stated flatly that he is willing to assume supreme power in France â€" but it is doubtful if he, as head of the Gov- ernment, woulii obtain any more pledges of British and .\nierican aid to France, in case of war, tiian have already been given. What the Frencii really want are definite and categoric military pacts to protect her if she is attacked â€" but, as things are now, it is extremely doubtt'ul if she will get them. Meanwhiie, the De Gaullists and the Communists have joined in op- posing Foreign Miiiisler Bidault's propo;,al for National .\ssenibly ap- proval of the London agreement â€" surely as queer a combination as you could hope to find anywhere in this haywire world. Australia Australians view with certain misgivinos the United States atti- tude toward Japan, and there has been considerable criticism in the Press regarding General McArthur and his views. These critics think they ean'notice a growing tendency on the part of America to go ahead with plaii> for .lapan's recovery without consulting the .\llies â€" and are not a bit enthusiastic about the idea of building up a former enemy into a "bulwark" against Russian Communism or anything else. Such bulwarks, they think, are very likely to go striking out on a line of their own sooner or later. American emphasis is all on the restoration of Japanese industry â€" and of recent months the United States .Army and State Deparement appears to have lost interest in an early peace treaty, and to be settling down for an indefinite stay in Japan. Six great airfields which the .Ameri- cans are constructing â€" airfields cap- able of accomodating the latest type of long-range bomber and going far beyond what is required, for normal occupation purposes â€" certainly are not any indication that General Mac- Arthur and his forces have much idea of leaving Nippon at any early date. Some of the things which the United States Army has done in Japan, and which have caused real concern in .Australia, are permitting the Japanese to arm certain vessels for coastal protection without eith.er consulting or informing the .Allies, also, in sptie of repeated objee: a by Great Britain and Australia, allowing the Nipponese wiiaiing fleets to sail into the Antarctic. For Australians are not so naive as to believe that the Japs have had any real change of heart since the end of the war. Czechoslovakia Since the Communist coup last February, things have been moving fast in Czechoslovakia. Dr. Benes reluctantly agreed to a Red-domin- ated Cabinet, probably because he saw civil war as tl'.e only alterna- tive, but ir is reported that he pri- vately told friends that the situation could "only have evil results." -\ new Communist-written Con- stitution for a "Peoples Democracy" was shoved through parliament and sent to Benes for signature; and tiections were held in which the only candidates were Communists or pro-Communists. On the last day left to him for signing the new Constitution, Dr. Benes â€" instead of putting his signa- ture to the document â€" sent a brief letter to the Communist Premier tendering his resignation. The I iovernment attributed the resignation to Benes' ill health and announced that he would have the Presidential country estate and the Presidential salary of SiiO.OOO a year, for life, as a reward lor his great wor'K.
