Townsend, author of the Townsend old age pension plan, who gathered in Washington for their eighth annual convention. Theyre still plumping for $200 a month at the age of 65. Unification THE GREATEST ARGUMENT unification in favor of army-navwas pooling of supplies. It was estimated that the taxpayers could be saved a lot of money if the army and navy bought their supplies together instead of bidding against each other. However, Secretary of Defense Forrestal, supposedly a businessman, hasn't even accomplished this despite the fact that he knew from recent war experiences how great this waste was. The waste that has resulted from this lack of uniformity Is For example, 30 astronomical. million dollars worth of tubes were purchased by the army In 1942 enough to last for 10 years. Yet the following week another order was placed for 60 million dollars worth of tubes because the army had to stock different waretypes. As a result, army with tubes houses overflowed that varied only slightly from each olher, maybe no more than a prong spaced differently. 5155 Handsome Chair A handsome chair set done in butterfly shape with the popular pineapple motif.

The Red Sox would have been last at the quarter mark this season If the ignoble White Sox hadn't been in the same league the worst team in big league baseball.

It might be mentioned here that the home support given the Browns has proved again this franchise must leave SL Louis and let the Cardinals have an exclusive roosL But this isnt explaining the Red Sox. One answer is shoddy pitching, but this cqnt be the only answer. They did far better last summer with about the same pitching. The Red Sox dropped from second place in team batting to fifth despite Ted Williams consistent hitting. Their first pitcher was in the 23rd spot in the league ranking, and they have only one regular who was above .500. But still they had the same staff as they had last year, plus Kramer and Kinder.

Heads bared, President Vincent Auriol of France (left) and U. S. Ambassador Jefferson Caffery stand silently before the plaque in a field in Normandy that marks the site of the first American cemetery on the European continent in World War II. The cemetery, since removed, was at Omaha beach where the American spearhead of the Allied invasion forces fought its way ashore through a hail of Nazi shells and bullets four years ago. President Auriol visited the site on a recent tour of the historic beaches. YSprfith? n st persisted: I insist on an answer to my question as to whether the national VFW has indorsed this bill yes or no. Lyle finally had to admit that the Veterans of Foreign Wars favored passage of the housing bill and that he and Greig were speaking only for themselves.

So anyone can see the miserable spring and early summer the Buffalo leader has known to date. Have his Red Sox dumped themselves out of the pennant race? That isn't the problem now. The problem is can they finish in the first division? Certainly none of this Red Sox misery can be laid to Williams. At last reports, Williams was leading the American league in individual He batting and in was second in home runs. He was well above his record of a year ago and hot on the trail of Ken Keltner of the Cleveland Indians. It couldn't be Williams. But Doerr, Stephens and DiMaggio were not too hot.

He decided he could use his mouth for some- thing besides talking and eating. Thus, he became an artist. The Red Sox have nothing like the team spirit carried by the the Indians or the Athletics, Browns. They lack the urge and the lift the desire to win. They have looked dazed and bewildered in many games, as If they still dont believe they have spent over six weeks headed for the cellar. it IffllTri EHTh miil |
