The report is one of thousands of German and Japanese documents now being released by the army and indited by the department of agriculture at the rate of 5,400 a week. Approximately half of these have either a direct or indirect bearing on agriculture and are hoped to open the way to developing new uses for American farm products.

Citilti 7:01, 8t* aad 1140 * i^he general attitude toward on* 1 pires is, in our opinion, one of At greatest crimes in sport. Ball players in large'numbers have victed in the past of .selling and throwing games. Players and managers have been indicted on other counts, outside of baseball. But no umpire that I can recall has ever been connected with a scandal of any sort. They have been the backbone of Baseball -- the foundation of base- OraatlanJ Rica baH. ^ _ What has been their reward?. The age old cry of "KID the umpire." They have been hated aad assaulted and started by the mob. They have bees stormed at, cursed, Insulted by flayers and managers who in the main were using these umpires as alibis for their own mistakes-- for their defeats. I can go back a long way in umpires-- Tim Hurst, Silk. O'Loughlin, Tommy Connelly, Billy Evans, Bill Klem (and what a guy), Cy Wrigler, Hank O'Day, Bill Dineen, Lord Byron, Arlie Latham, Charlie Moran, on and on and on. A great bunch. Dead honest. Dead game, these Big Boys in Blue. You couldn't buy one of them at any price. You couldn't scare 'em. No one can bluff any of them. Once in a while they may get to be overly tough, overly officious. But after all they are supposed to run the game--and when they don't the game will be a {yckA A complete joke. Honest and Tough I've known umpires for over 40 years. Among the top ones, I've never known anyone who wasn't honest and fearless--and tough when he had to be. Honest, fearless and tough. For the umpire knows how the managers and the ball players use him in an attempt to cover up their mistakes. Umpires make many mistakes. But Ty Cobb only batted .367 and Babe Ruth wasn't even close to this mark. That means mistakes for the ball player over two-thirds of the time. Who; is perfect or close to being perfect in the world's most imperfect period of time? What is the umpire's reward for the job he turns in? An outcast, as a general rule. Sure the hours are good, as Tim Hurst once said, but no better than the hours a ball player or a manager knows. Not only a social outcast, but also the subject of vile abuse from managers and players--and from the crowd if the umpire doesn't happen to call the play in favor of the home club. H What eaa the crowd la the stands see? The angles ea strikes--plays at the bases--nothing at all. They don't know that slight angles eaa make a difference of many feet. These crowds haven't the slightest idea of what actually happened. They can miss a strike or a hall by over a foot. So can any manager sitting on the bench. He also is all oat of line. He Is only guessing Us own way where ma general average he Is completely wrong. A vital part of an aggressive ball team, including manager and player, always concerns attacking and riding the umpire. This is supposed to mean a fighting, hustling team. Why was it, then, that Walter Johnson never protested an umpire's decision? Why was it that yoy rarely saw Joe McCarthy or Billy Southworth, certainly two of the* best, storming from the dugout in some protest? These two let the umpires run the game. ^ < Riding the Umpire John McGraw, a great manager, came up in a different era. McGraw always faced two opponents-- the other team and the umpire. You couldn't give McGraw enough opponents, including hostile stands. All Mac wanted was a fight with anybody. x But the game has changed in later years. And now'we have too many managers and ball players trying to copy McGraw. They are using umpires for their mistakes--as alibis. The point I'd like to make is this-- here we have a group who should belong at the top of sport. And yet their reward is abuse from the crowds--abuse from the ball players --abuse from the managers. About 95 per cent abuse. In the main these umpires are picked from the best.of the ball players. From the smartest and the most courageous . The wonder is that any sane citizen would ever want to be an umpire. • • •. The Middleweights The middleweights, always among the best in the ring, still dominate all divisions by a wide margin. The middleweights mean quality as well as quantity. Some while ago we figured five top middleweights running the show. They were Zale the champion, Graziano, LaMotta, Cerdan and Abrams. The verdict was that either Cerdan or Abrams had to be eliminated. But the Cerdan-Abrams party was too close to be decisive. Confjaslous SSSi: 6:90 1:00. Saturdays: 1:00 p. mu and 7:00 p. m.

This, applies particularly to growers who sell corn for use in industries producing .products such as •tarch, alcohol, breakfast foods, hominy and oil. The oil reaches the public and industry in a variety of commodities ranging from ahortening, margarine and salad dressto soap, paint, varnishes and printing ink. The importance of corn oil in the United States--production averaged more than 200 million pounds annually from 1940 to 1945--started research at the department^ Northern Regional Research laboratory, Peoria, 111., to discover the range of oil content in hybrid corns, whether the variation is wide enough to be significant to both growers and processors. F. R. Earle, J. J. Curtis and J. E. Hubbard found that two commonly grown hybrid varieties showed a difference of at least 36 per cent in their yields of oil. In most corn the oil is" mainly in the germ. By dissecting many kernels and analyzing the parts it was found that hybrids did not differ from open-pollinated varieties in their physical proportions. Oil was still confined mainly to the germ whether oil content was high or low.-- new it easily. The solution if boiled starch, as you weald make for the laundry, thinned down to a wafery consistency.
