YANKEE STADIUM, Oct. 3 — Southpaw Zrnie White set the blank end of a 2-0 shutout today, the first of the series at the Yan- kee Stadium. He didn't walk a man. He struck out six and al- lowed only five scratch singles. The Yanks’ Spud Chandler gave the Cards only three singles in eight innings, but walked St. Lo‘uis: the third baseman Kurowski in third for what would have been | the winning run. Kurowski ad- vanced on Slats Marions single and Ernie White's sacrifice to score when Brown was thrown out at first on the next play. i The Cards’ other tally came in the ninth when Brown Scored after singling, advancing to second on relief hurler Marv Breuer’s error, and crossing the plate when Enos Slaughter slashed a single into center field. Spectacular fielding by Card rookie left fielder Stan Musial, who won Thursday’s game, and right fielder Enos Slaughter, put down a Yankee attempt in the sev- enth.

Allen on active duty.) WASHINGTON — An unbiased study of the Army and Navy leads to the inescapable conclusion that one deterrent to early winning of the war is the brass hats’ com- plete confidence in their own bu- reaus and their inability to take suggestions from the outside. In fact, suggestions from the outside in some cases have been bitterly resented. If, for instance, the Army Air Corps had not gone into a tantrum over the suggestions of Major de Seversky, our fliers might not be having such a tough time'combat- ing Jap Zeros today. Or, if the Bureau of Ships had not been so adamant in rebuffing Andrew J. Higgins, the New Or- leans small boat builder, we might be better prepared for a second front today. But Major de Seversky is Rus- sian, speaks imperfect English, doesn't care how he offends the Army. Air Corps generals, instead of taking his suggestions, did their best to avoid him.' Yet he is a genius when it comes to air de- |left on base. - BOX SCORE Stardom Ah ead o @wg ST.

Withdrawing the insistence for a redefinition of farm partity which the Office of Price Admin- istration estimated would have add- ed $3,500,000,000 to the overall cost of living, the bill stipulates that no ceiiings be placed on whges and salaries below the highest point each reached in the period from January 1 to September 15 of this year.

Army Signal Corps photo, and intimate advisers, Prendmt_‘ e 5 Roosevelt last night signéd: the| b2 e anti-inflation bill, giving him broad authority to stabilize prices, wages and salaries. The President announced after- ward that an executive order in connection with the measure would be issued sometime today. PRESIDENT NAMES NEW WAR BOARD Appoints Justice Byrnes as Director of Stab- ilization WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 — Presi- dent Roosevelt today named Asso- of the nation's Supreme Court as Di- rector of Economic Stabilization with broad powers to control the nation’s cost of living. At the same time, the President accepted Byrnes’ resignation from the Supreme Court post. The President then issued a sweeping order directing the Na- tional War Labor Board to limit wages and salaries, and directing OPA "Administrator Leon Hender- son to put ceilings on rents and prices as well as ordering Secre- tary of Agriculture Claude Wick- ard and Henderson to limit farm prices to levels as of September 15 as far as practicable. The order was issued soon after the President signed the anti-in- flation bill last night. It created the Office of Economic Stabiliza- | tion within the Office of Emergen- cy Management with Byrnes as director, and also created a War Economic Stabilization Board with which the director will consult in fixing policies. On this board are the secretaries of the Treasury, Agriculture, Com- merce, Labor, and the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, the OPA administrator, the chairman of the War Labor Board.

Wanta (ommissiofi!w Applicants Are Now Given Tip; No Tricks STALINGRAD BY JACK STINNET The of WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 question most asked members Congress, military officials, and civilian government bigwigs, Is ‘How can I get a commission In the Army, Navy, Marine Corps?” The Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard probably have several hundred thousands each, of such applications. . The Anmy Specialist Corps is near or over the 300000 mark (not quite all of these are for commissioned jobs) on appli- cations. Outside of these filed ap- plicationls are undoubtedly hund- reds of thousands more who haven't bothered to file but are “eager to get in” if they can get commissions with salaries commensurate with their civilian pay. The answer to the question, “How can T get, etc.,” must be broken into two parts: Combat commissions, noncombatant. or specialist and technical jobs. In the case of combat commis- sions, even if a man is a specialist or technician, the answer is pretty easy. All branches of the service provide a training period for such officers. They can bhe draftees who have been recommended, after in- duction, for officer training schools. They can be specialists or techni- clans, with designated commissions, assigned to such schools. In the first instance, any man x\vhu is physically fit, mentally cap- zble, and can prove that he's not neglécting his family, can through 13 weeks of training and get assigned to an officers’ training schocl In the Army. In the second instance, he may have to wait hi tury), depending upon service need It may be long before he’s called his training may be rigorow on the other band, he may be shoved through quickly. g0 There is no trick about any of it In the Army, Navy, Marines or Coast Guard, combat service de mands a preliminary weeding-out period. But the commissioned field is open to all. Officers are just much as or more in demand than privates, For those who are unfit for com- bat service, the Army Specialist corps, headed by Brig. Gen. Dwight Davis, is rapidly opening the door to commissions., At last unofficial report, there was at least one job for every 10 ar 15 applicants, Nat- urally, some specialist sections are rcrowded, others b: en, far as applicants are concerned. As for the so-called “cellophane commissions—those obtained by pull —they are fast disappearing. Many a man who has been condemned for getting his commission by pull has gotten it by persistent pull on his own bootstraps. - L Over half of the vitamin A manufactured in the US. comes from shark livers. home, is | REDSSNATCH OFFENSIVEAT FORTRESES DEAL DEATH TO GERMANS Targefs Arfieaulete, Saint Omer, LeHavre, All Nazi Bases HERMANN GOERING'S PRIZE FORCE BEATEN Our Boys Shoot His Yellow Nose Squadron Full of Holes WITH THE UNITED STATES BOMBER COMMAND SOME- WHERE IN ENGLAND, Oct. 3 — America’s growing Air Force un- leashed its most powerful attack of the war yesterday with mighty Flying Fortresses blasting a Nazl ailrcraft factory at Meaulte and striking at the airfield at Saint Omer in northern France. The huge U. 8. alr dreadnaughts, bristling with guns, shot down 13 »f Germany’s crack fighter planes in the course of the raid. And at the same time, Untted States Boston bombers heavily bombed the docks at LeHavre, and escorting American and Allied fighters, totaling 400, accounted for another five Nazi Fockewulfe and 19 Zero planes In what turned out to be the biggest air battle since the Dieppe raid. Americans Bag Four American Eagle Squadrons, trans- ferred to the United States Army Afr Force recently from the Reyal Air Force, accounted for four of the five Fockewulfes. All of the famous Flying Fort- resses returned from their 13th raid which saw airmen from 42 states battling with as many as 100 German fighters, five miles high over Europe. Likewise, all of the Boston bomb- ers Teturned to their bases as Nazi pilots continued to find the Amer- ican warplanes hard to bring down.
