IV, » THURSDAY,'MAY 11, 1950 RECORD By 'the Associated Press) Best bet of 1950 is Stan Musial to become the National League’s first 400 hitter in 20 years. Not siicé Bill Terry mared the ball for a 401 mark in 1930, has a National Leaguer ventured into the stratosphere. Now Musial, the St Louis Cardinal slugger, is only one hit shy of 500 at .483. Firfst. base seems to agree with Musial. Ever since Manager Eddie Dyer gave up on Steve Bilko and moved Stan from right field to first, +he has drilled holes in the fences. The big splurge really started Wwhen Musial returned to the lineup .after a six-day layoff due to & sprained knee. Since his return Stan has 18 hits in 30 at bats for .533. Collared Two Times Only two pitchers horse collared Musial so far. Cliff Chambers turned him back hitless the second night of the season. Joe Hatten got him out May 1 as a pinch hitter. Musial had his biggest night ot the season yesterday with four «ingles and a walk in the Cards’ 5-1 victory over the New York Giants behind Max Lanier's seven- hitter. Brooklyn was knocked out of first place by the Cincinnati Reds, 4-0, on Ken Raffensberger’s three-hit Job. It was Raffy’s first win, snap- ping the Reds seven-game losing streak. Phillies Up As a result of the Dodgers’ loss the idle Phillies moved to the top of the heap for the first time since opening day. The Phils’ day game at Pittsburgh was rained out. Chicago took advantage of four Boston errors to trim the Braves 6-3. Doyle Lade needed help from Paul Minner to earn his first win at the expense of Warren Spahn. American League Rain washed out;the; big;qdqings n the American League, postpon- ing the Detroit-Boston game at Fenway Park and the New York Yankee-St. Louis Browns game. All concerned play doubleheaders today. Nothing seems to stop that Wash- ington club which clicked off its fourth straight, 7-6, over Chicago. The Senators broke loose for five runs in a big fifth inning rally sparked by Ed Stewart’s pinch triple. Cleveland snapped a four-game losing string by scoring three un- earned runs with two out in the ninth for a 6-4 win over Phila- delphia. B.B.

THIS SEASON (By the Associated Press) Oakland’s sprouting Acorns ‘have rudely shoved the San Francisco Seals out of the Pacific Coast League’s first division and are up in fourth spot today. The teams battled to an 11-inning 7-all tie in their series opener. But night (Wednesday) the Oaks started early and kept ahead, wind- ing up on top of a 5-3 score. Me! Deuzabou's two-run homer in the secohd inning paved the way. The Acorns came up with three more runs in the third frame. Clyde Shoun tamed all the Seals but Les Fleming, who twice lotted the ball into the right field seats The lowly Seattle Rainiers won their 12th game of the season at the expense of the front-running San Diego Padres, 4-3. The score was squared at 3 apiece until the last half of the ninth. Bill Ram- S double scored Bill Schuster all the way from first for the pay- off run. Schuster had a profitable 1ight, scoring three runs. Hollywood appeared headed for its second straight win sover Los Angeles, with a lead of 2-0 and twc out in the ninth. But Angel Cece Garriott tripled with the bags loaded and came home himselt on Frank Baumholtz' single. The first half of the game was lscm'oms.\, Hollywood breaking the ice in the fifth with two runs on a sir gle by Clarence Hicks, a triple Bob Bundy and a single by Stevens. It was Stevens aight blow of the evening. Portland piled up three runs in he second and repeated in the fifth to edge Sacramento 6-4 and en their series at a game apiece Catcher Jim Gladd started the sec- ond scoring spurt with a home run The Solons staged a rally in the ninth with a flock of pinch hit- ters. One of them, Joe Marty, singled in Bill Raimondi. But that was all and it wasn’t enough.

They were here for' other reasons; they came volun-! tarily before Hitler had anything to do with the present world war.' In many cases some had come nfore recently. When possible, for| obvious reasons we tried persons who had left their home- | lands recently. We felt they would be familiar with eveéry phase of Lhe» idiom and know what )mppen(\d 6 months ago . . That may have given rise to the statement that| our personnel was largely composed : of refugees.” The nearest figure I can find is that Short Wave Research, Inc, brought into the United States 400 aliens in time of war. These aliens were given positions as writers, translators, commentators and even censors on radio. In fact, Amer- icans were put off the air to make room for some of them . Short Wave Research, Inc, and the OWI were so closely attached and affiliated that on occasion al- fens and in some cases citizens were sent by the OWI to Short Wave for employment by the OWI. This may sqund screwy, so I give you an explanation from the rec- ord: 1 . Because they (OWI) wished, logically enough, to test the value of a man over the air before they hired him for keeps. As you know, if you are employed by the Civil Service you have tenure, and you hesitate to deprive a man of his job if he is hired permanently ,so pérsons on a trial basis or purely for part time were frequently sent to us. This didn’t develop at first, but only after they required Amer- ican visas. At first they needed foreign-language translators. When the volume grew they wanted nat- urally to test out the suitability of script writers, and so forth, and they asked us if we would pay those people. . ." So, here is a quiet organization about which Congress knew noth- ing and the public knew nothing, which set itself up to bring in aliens—and to give them immed- jate employment on the public pay- roll, Here is another index to the quéer things that happened—so queer that they are unbelievable. Yet they did happen.
