ERA OF FANTASY
WASHINGTON.—It is difficult for
the average person to understand the
amazing vistas opened up by science
during World War II and realize
that the unbelievable era of Buck
Rogers fantasy is now actually here.
The most obvious development was
the atomic bomb. Not as well known
but perhaps even more fantastic are
the numerous secrets of the earth
which the bomb’s invention also
opened. For the past three years,
for instance, geoclastic scientists
have been working on a project for
setting off a controlled chain reaction
in the crust of the earth.
This project is described by scien
tists as a hydrogen chain reaction,
in which the hydrogen in the surface
of the earth would be made to bum
in a slow but continuous stream.
Simultaneously, these scientists are
reported to be preparing a means
for speedily extinguishing such
blazes.
Fantastic as this may sound, it is
only a small phase of the field which
science opened up at a time when
the government, in desperation and
out of fear of what enemy scientists
might be doing, gave American sci
entists full freedom to work.
An earth-crust chain reaction now
is deemed a reasonable possibility
and might mean the end for a coun
try even as large as Russia. A
chain reaction of this type could car
ry across mountains, through ice and
snow, searing everything in its path
with the relentless force of a gigan
tic, fire-burning steam roUer.
American scientists warn that
what they are working on also is be
ing worked on by scientists all over
the world. No nation has a monop
oly on knowledge. What American
science has is a head start and the
“know-how.”

DISLIKES MODERN ART
President Truman is strictly a
conservative when it comes to
modern art. “Ham and eggs”
art he calls the paintings of the
surrealists, the fnturists and the
cubists. The chief executive
wants his art down-to-earth and
easy to understand. He likes it
to be beautiful, not shocking, and
to represent something. Report
ers saw an example of the art
Mr. Truman loves recently,
when he gave them a private
showing of “The Peacemakers”
—a painting by George Healy
which the President had pur
chased for the White House for
$10,000.

MARSHALL’S ‘FILIBUSTER’
GOP congressmen are accusing
General Marshall—half-jokingly—of
being just as good at filibustering as
Senator Bilbo. Members of the
house foreign affairs committee say
that in their closed-door session with
the new secretary of state, he kept
on talking until just before the bell
rang calling congress into session.
By that time there was no chance
for them to fire any embarrassing
questions. *
Several Republican congressmen
came to the secret committee ses
sion primed with questions on Pales
tine and Russia. However, Marshall,
with one eye on the clock, gave a
brilliant monologue on foreign af
fairs for more than an hour.
Marshall’s monologue, however,
gave a well-rounded picture of U. S.
foreign policy. Here are the high
lights :
RUSSIA—The Byrnes policy of be
ing fair but firm with Russia will be
continued. Marshall has given this
policy careful study and is convinced
Byrnes was right.
AUSTRIA—Will be the first treaty
to be taken up in Moscow, largely be
cause it is “in the nature of a lib
erated area.” '
GERMANY—Within three years
the German people should become
economically unified and self-suffi
cient, requiring no more loans or
food from the U. S. A.
PALESTINE—The United States
must be more cautious regarding
Palestine now that Britain has
agreed to lay this problem in the
United Nations lap. Instead of giv
ing advice regarding Palestine, the
U. S. A. now will have to act.
EUROPEAN RELIEF—Food con
tinues to be the greatest stabilizing
influence in the world, and the Unit
ed States must continue to feed the
world—perhaps for some years to
come.
CHINA—“I am somewhat disillu
sioned about the Chinese situation,"
Marshall commented. He spent more
time on this subject than any other,
remarking with a laugh that he felt
more at home when talking about
China. His off-the-record discussion,
however, included little he had not
already stated publicly.

Southern Cows and Pigs
Dear Folks:
Well, I have just made one of
them trips South through Georgia
and Florida by auto and the cows
are ahead on points although I am
still holding the pigs even. I never
knew there was so many cows and
pigs loose on highways before in
the whole U. S. A. Them Georgia
cattle are the skinniest I ever seen
and now I know why. They keep
thinking there is grass in macadam,
cement and asphalt. And a cow bom
and raised in Florida evidently has
been sold on the idea there is nour
ishment in them white lines that
mark the middle of through roads.
*
Georgia and Florida cows are the
only kind that have to be taken into
a service station every few weeks to
have the dents taken ont of them.
•
They are a breed known as Back-
into cattle. They will back into any
thing. You get the breed by cross
ing a very calm cow with an extra
dumb jackass. All cows is oblivious
to traffic more or less, but a Geor
gia cow won’t even look up at a
Mack truck. It operates on a queer
basis. When a car comes along it
places itself in front of it, waits for
the shriek of hot brakes and then
answers with a low “Nuh-h-hts to
Yoo-oo-oo!” moan.
•
The pig is a Georgia and Florida
road problem, too. There are big
sows there that have bumped into
cars so often they have developed
collision resistance. I saw one hog
with the license plates of fonr states
engraved on its right side. These
hogs have learned to “give” when
hit, and there is just a queer
flumpf” sound and a slight jar like
you had !>it a balloon.
•
On the few southern roads little
pigs dash out on the express high
ways every few feet, too. Starting
young like this they develop high
speed and by the time they are a
year old they are either dead or else
on the market for dog races.
*
So if you know anybody setting
out for the South by auto, warn him
about the animal life and tell him
to drive slow passing farm stock
and always hold out his hand so
a hog or heifer will know what he
is going to do.
Yours, Elmer.

WAR II VETS PICKET IN OHIO . . . Approximately 1,000 veterans of
World War n marched on the Ohio capital, Columbus, to apply maxi
mum pressure on authorities for a speedy solution of veteran prob
lems. Arriving by bus, train and “thumb,” they attended meetings
of the legislature. A committee called on Gov. Thomas J. Herbert,
veteran of World War I. The group marched with placards dis
playing their problems and wants, as shown above.
KINGS OF THE BAT . . . Babe Ruth, slowly recovering from his
recent operation, is shown revealing the secret, heretofore told only to
Lon Gehrig, that earned for him the title as king of swat. When
Hank Greenberg, right, visited Ruth, he revealed the secret: “The
little finger of right hand extends down below the main surface of the
handle and butt. It makes the grip break at the right moment and
throws the whole weight of the bat into the ball.”
COWBOY MEETS INDIAN CHIEF . . . Rogers Hornsby and yonng
Mike Began get acquainted with Chief Deerfoot and his pony at Tucson,
Ariz., Fiesta de Los Vaqneros. Young Mike is showing great promise
both as a western cowboy and a fntnre big league ball player. Hornsby
is on temporary assignment conducting the Cleveland Indian bat
ting school at Tucson, and young Mike is only one of the millions of
youngsters who would like to follow in the footsteps of the famous ball
player-

'T'ONY ZALE, middleweight ruler,
A starred in the best ring fight of
1946 with a dozen miles to spare. His
hurricane meeting with Rocky Grazi-
ano happened to be one of those
thrillers you won’t see twice in a
lifetime.
There was no other fight even close
to this one. I can’t recall any other
fighter who ever
showed more intes
tinal fortitude than
Zale s howe d that
September night,
when he came out
of a foggy dream
land to knock out
Graziano. It so hap
pens that Zale is in
the toughest divi
sion of them all.
Among those after
his middleweight crown you’ll find
Jake LaMotta, Marcel Cerdan, Geor-
gie Abrams, Charley Burley and one
or two others—all tough. Graziano,
the toughest of the lot, has had his li
cense revoked in New York, but the
National Boxing association has
ruled that he can fight in any place
under NBA’s jurisdiction. This gives
Rocky a lot of territory to swing his
lethal fists in.
Tony Zale
Zale had been away from ring
action so long when he met Grazi
ano that his handicap was known to
be a heavy one. Various crowds had
seen too many baseball and foot
ball players from the service show
a startling lack of old-time form, in
cluding speed and timing. Zale had
been away longer than most, close
to four years.
So when Graziano knocked him
down early in the fight and then had
him dazed, bewildered and badly
battered, his reign apparently was
over. But Zale down the stretch
proved several things. He proved
that he was dead game and could
take the hardest punch the hard
hitting Graziano could throw. He
also proved that he had a punch of
his own. He proved that he knew
how to fight—and what to do in a
storm.
Faces Tough Competition
With more time in which to get
ready, it stands to reason that Zale
should be a better fighter in 1947
than he was in 1946. His win over
Graziano gave him greater confi
dence, for one thing. He is also sure
to be in better all-around physical
shape. Yet in this present middle
weight outfit no one is safe. Tony is
surrounded by a pretty rough crew,
the best in any other weight division,
and he will have to be better than
good to keep his crown.
LaMotta is a rough and ready
customer who won’t be any soft
mark. LaMotta is a hardy man to
hurt and he also can hurt on his
own. Cerdan made a promising
debut over here and he should be bet
ter on his next visit, when he has a
longer time to become acclimated
and to get in better physical condi
tion. There is no Stanley Ketchel,
Harry Greb or Mickey Walker hang
ing around the premises, but there is
more class in this section than the
ring has known for many years. Just
how the tangle will be unraveled is
another guess. LaMotta must be
given a chance and so must Cerdan
if he can repeat his opening perform
ance, or show improvement.
In addition to the leaders named,
Jersey Jones still insists that his
man Burley can slash his way
through the entire list.
With the heavyweight bunch out
side of Joe Louis, in such a sad
state, it begins to look as if the mid-
dleweights must take over a big part
of the show. But as good as many of
his challengers are, they will find
Zale none too easy to shove around.

Two West Coast Stars
The west coast is keeping an alert
eye on the coming actions of its two
favorite baseball sons. Their names
are Joe DiMaggio of San Francisco
and Ted Williams of San Diego, both
reporting from the extensive domain
of California.
DiMaggio, bothered by physical
ailments, had an off year. Regard
ed as one of the great outfielders of
all time, a brilliant artist, fielding,
hitting and throwing, Joe finished
with the worst season he has known
in big league baseball. He fell back
with many other big league stars
who had been in war service.
Williams, who looked as if he were
on the verge of wrecking the entire
American league without help up
through mid-July, began to skid lat
er and spent an unhappy fortnight
during the 1946 World series. De
spite this decline Williams batted
well over .340, which left his all-
time average still over .350.
Ulcers Stopped Joe
Anyway Joe and Ted were not
what they had been in their former
seasons. Only Dom DiMaggio came
along to repair part of the damage,
as far as California was concerned.
Bobby Doerr and Johnny Pesky
were two west coast features from
further north. Joe DiMaggio wasn’t
feeling any too well when he report
ed for spring training. A few stom
ach ulcers didn’t help him. After an
early start at high speed, Joe be
gan to fall away.
