C., cititen weighs 185 pounds. He got his start in American Legion ball, then drifted around the minors for four years as a Washington Senator farm hand. “I thought I'd ' arrive three years ago when Washington had me up for a while: T caught one game for fthem and hit three or four — but I never. get' another chance. Sure, I. was .disappointed. But it gives e a lifetime Ameri- can League batting average of .150.” Mickey started this season off at a .250-.270 clip and thinks he’ll improve. o “I'm- hitting the ba]l " hard all right but I haven't been. steering them away from the fielders, Just go up there and bash it out.

Says Lobert: “He’s my kind of ball player—has lots of guts, can hit in the clutch and he keeps his mouth shut.” Mickey’'s a family man with two children, a boy, 4, and a girl, 2. The boy is a southpaw and a born pitcher, says Mickey. Livingston is enthusiastic about the Phillies’ chances of elevating themselves in the standings. “All we need is a little experi- ence,” he says, “and we're getting that every day. It's a good ball club and Prothro is a great mana- ger, always encouraging. “He’s going to take the Phillies into a pennant some day and I'm hoping I'm still around when he does it.” The Philly fans are hoping both items pan out that way. —_——ae——— them -a little now Try & classified ad In The Emplre ing to take care of routine opera- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1941. CARDS GET i | | \ | UNITED STATES (Continued from I'.;: — special request of President Roo- sevelt. In the second place, there are the reports which the auto- mobile and motor clubs have been | making to the American Automo- | bile Association, which has been| working closely with the War and Nayy Departments to present a| clear picture of present conditions. The public roads administration, starting with the premise that there already are 32,000,000 motor | vehicles using the United States highway and urban street systems, |breaks up its report into sections. 1—How adequate is the nation's “strategic network” of highways and what must be done to make it perfect? This comprises approxi- mately. 75,000 miles of main trunk routes” and auxiliary roads. It in- volves all the roads joining impor- tant genters of defense industry and all military and naval con-| centration points. It includes also| ~ SYSTEM IS ONE BIG DEFENSE BOTTLENECK the secondary and territory roads which may be used when the main highways break down or are clogged with traffic. | Mr. Carmody's report to the President says that nearly 20,000 miles of the strategic network is too narrow or too weak in surfac- 1 HAVE Hsgs IAL MY HAND A %ONFLL Oy W @varr HER FROM TALK: HERE -GET By GEORGE McMANUS ROAD - tions of the Army in training. Not only that, but on these 75,000 miles of strategic highway, there are (out of some 18,0000 2436 bridges which, for ohe reason or another, are inadequate for mili- tary loads. 2—There is, according to the re- port, an immediate and desperate need for 1,500 miles of “reservation roads” lying wholly within the nearly 200 mlmlry' and naval camps. ! 3—There should be an effort im- mediately to construct or repair 2,830 miles of “access roads" which connect military and naval reser- vations and new defense centers with main highways. 4—There should be an adequate provision for putting “tactical roads” (roads used in tactical man- euvers, both locally in the vicin- ity of camps and on the major war games scale) in A-1 condition and repairing them following maneu- vers. (Repairs to the highways «f Louisiana and Texas following war| games last summer amounted (o approximately $210,000.) | Just to start remedying this sit- uation this year, the report to the President says, will take $287- 000,000 for construction and im- provement of defense roads.
