PLANS FOR PACIFIC WAR hVh V? been kep very hush. bush, but top armv offldBi. k- made a vitally Important decision defeat PrduCtlon Germany's Original war production schedules called for a 40 per cent cutback after Germany caves in, permitting a vast reconversion program and the early production of automobiles, refrigerators, radios and other goods. However, the army plus WPBig-wigs WPBig-wigs have now decided to keep the war machine rolling full tilt, not cutting cut-ting back any but a few items until Japan is defeated. Behind the vital decision Is an Important new plan to speed victory in the Pacific Confidential Confi-dential war department surveys disclosed that it would take , over a year to return European veterans, together with their equipment, much of It geared for winter rather than tropical fighting. Allied shipping shortages short-ages would make it a long job to crate, sort, repair and re-ship re-ship heavy equipment from the Atlantio to the Pacific. In addition, the army survey disclosed dis-closed that a lot of European equipment equip-ment will be obsolete for Pacific fighting; would have to be rebuilt, taking valuable time. Instead, the new plan calls for bringing the men back at once, issuing them new equipment specifically designed for Far Eastern combat Later! the army will bring back overseas war gear and use it for Pacific replacements. replace-ments. This should speed final blows against Japan, and shorten the Far Eastern war by many months. As a result, 1945 production schedules sched-ules will probably be a billion dollars dol-lars higher than those of 1944. The war department, which had a pile of telegrams two feet high cancel ing war contracts to be sent out the day Germany is licked, has now culled through them and may only cancel a few dozen orders. MacARTHUR AND MARINES The boys in the Pacific long have known about the rivalry between General MacArthur and the U. S. navy. Many are the wisecracks about MacArthur and the U. S. ma rines, land army of the navy. However, How-ever, in only one case so far as is known,' has MacArthur ever come up against one of these, jokes. face to face. It happened on one of the Philippine Philip-pine islands a few days after it was taken and when MacArthur .was inspecting in-specting a battery of marine artillery. artil-lery. Solemnly, he passed from gun to gun, making no comment. Then suddenly as he came to one gun, he turned on the marine lieutenant lieu-tenant in command and let loose the most terrific dressing-down that young . officer ever had received. The air was smoky with expletives. The lieutenant at first stood bewildered. be-wildered. The gun was carefully polished. Everything was in place. Then he looked a little closer. Beside Be-side the gun an enlisted man had placed a sign. It read: "With the help of God and a few marines, MacArthur retakes the Philippines." Philip-pines." The lieutenant thought at first that he would be busted. But several days passed and nothing happened. He is now back in the United States and the story can be told. INSURANCE LOBBY The insurance lobby is headed for trouble regarding its bill to exempt insurance companies from the Sherman Sher-man anti-trust act If the lobbyists aren't careful they will get a White House veto. The bill passed the senate in a form which met with all-round approval. ap-proval. But in the house, the insurance in-surance lobby sharpened its ax and quietly tacked on some amendments which will not be acceptable either to the White House or, probably, to a majority of the senate. Chief effect ef-fect of the amendments was to make it impossible to revive the anti-trust act regarding insurance companies, without a special act of congress.

' a IF THERE was a matter of a million dollars at stake and you, as manager, had to pick the greatest great-est one-game pitcher for a particular particu-lar contest what hurler would you select? Years ago I asked Connie Mack this question and he had a ready answer. His pick was Charles Albert Bender, the Chippewa Chief, the wiry Indian who was not only great pitcher but always at his best when the blue chips were on the line. "We've had some pretty fair pitchers pitch-ers on the Athletics in our time," Connie said. "I mean Rube Wad-dell, Wad-dell, Lefty Grove, Eddie Plank, Herb Pennock, George Earnshaw, and many others. Some of these undoubtedly undoubted-ly had more stuff than Chief Bender had. But Bender was always at his peak in a game you had to win. On that Graatland Rice one day you knew he would be at his best and the million mil-lion dollars would only key him up not let him down. "I know there have been better pitchers over a season or through many years. But in a pinch where the pressure was heavy, where the stake was high, Bender was a hard man to beat And he would be just as cool and as relaxed for a million as he would be for a dime." After this talk, I put the same problem up to Frank Frisch, one of the smartest men baseball has ever produced, one of its greatest competitors. Picks Dizzy Dean "Bender was a little before my day," Frank said. "Under the conditions con-ditions you have named' I think my pick would be Dizzy Dean. Dizzy Diz-zy was hot only a great pitcher, but he also loved the spotlight. Also the pressure. His biggest' thrill was in meeting Carl Hubbell. But competing compet-ing against any star pitcher delighted de-lighted Dean. And don't forget that Dizzy had everything a great pitcher pitch-er needs blazing speed a fine curve ball change of pace good control and above all unbeatable confidence in Dizzy Dean. "With a million dollars at stake Dizzy would have been unbeatable, at least as close to unbeatable un der such conditions as anyone I ever saw. For he would have revelled at such a chance. Even a billion dollars would never have bothered Ole DIz. That's what I mean by naming such a pitcher." Remember this is not a matter of naming the game's greatest pitch er through a season or through many years. It is the matter of naming the pitcher you would select under the heaviest sort of pressure for one vitally important game Christy Mathewson, in his prime, belongs In this class. Few people today remember the Matty who pitched three successive shutouts against the Athletics In the 1905 World Scries. The million dollars would never have bothered Matty. He lost the Giant-Cub play-off in 1908 probably the most important single game ever played but how many know he tackled this game with an arm so sore and tired that he could barely bare-ly lift it when he began warming up. For that season Matty had won 37 games, and saved 12 others. Great Old Alex I'll give you another tough million mil-lion dollar competitor In or out of condition. His name Is Grover Cleveland Alexander. Here was as great a combination of heart, head and arm as I have ever seen. As a rookie in 1911 he won 28 games. Alex was another , who took new Inspiration from a tough spot, even in his fading years when he was In no shape to handle the job. But be still handled It, as Tony Lazzerl of the Yankees remembers in the 1926 World series when Alex fanned him with the bases full. And there is . Ed Walsh of the White Sox the pitcher Ty Cobb names as the greatest of all time for a period of five years. Walsh was a 40 game winner and at his best in a hot spot. So here we have named such blue chip stars as Bender, Bend-er, Dean, Mathewson, Alexander and Walsh. And there Is always Carl Hubbell. These "big dough" entries were sure to be at their best for one big game one vital contest. I have another nomination who belongs in this listing: Walter Johnson, John-son, winner of 400 games with a weak-hitting Washington club. Odd Ring Styhs We were talking with Dumb Dan Morgan, who has only been mixed up with the ring game for a trifle more than 50 years, about various ring styles. Dumb Dan brought up Lee Oma, possibly the best heavyweight heavy-weight on the home front "Oma is an odd one to the present pres-ent generation," Morgan said, "with his way of dropping both hands. walking by an opponent as if taking a stroll, looking over one shoulder as he goes by, and then suddenly turning and leading the attack.
