Fnlislments Still Open in Navu ICnlistinents in the ryivy for (hose in the volunteer ago groups are still open for men who wish to offer their services to their country, it was emphasized today by Stockton Boyd, in charge of the navy recruiting station in La Grande. This is in answer to numerous rumors that have been circulating relative to the closing of voluntary enlistments in the naval service. The voluntary age groups com prise those who are 17 and have not yet reached their lUth birth day and those HI) to 50 and one- half age bracket, Boyd empha sized. Young men in the former age group are reminded that when coming to the recruiting station to make application they should bring their birth certifi cates, as the navy accepts nothing less as proof of age. In addition, if a man is desirous of completing his enlistment on that day, he should bring his father or legal guardian whoanuisl sign consent forms in the presence of the re el uiter. This will save lime and trouble for all concerned in the completion of the process of en listment.

WILSON WASHINGTON. July 10 (UP) Congressional democrats, whose pary was dominated for 13 years by Franklin D. Roosevelt, gener ally shied away today from pro posals the no-third-lerm rule be imposed by law. But there was more than a spark of democrat interest in the house judiciary committee. Chair man Hatton W. Sumners, D., Tex., indicated his committee probably will take up the ques tion of presidential tenure after the summer recess. Maneuver If Sumners and his powerful committee get behind Hie pro posal for a constitutional amend ment limiting presidential serv ice to two four-year terms, the project is likely to get somewhere at least in the house. Sen. Lister Hill., D Ala., who nominated Roosevelt for a fourth term, opposed limitation. He said the proposal was merely a republican political maneuver. Sen. Alben W. Barkley, D., Ky who vecame democrat leader of the senate in 1037 through the personal intervention of Roose velt, said: "I'm not keen for limiting the people in their choice. I see no reason why the people should tic their own hands in advance." Morse For It Chairman Pat MuCa ran, D., Nov., of the senate judiciary com mittee, is uninterested. House republican leudcr Jo seph W. Martin, jr., Massachu setts, gave the no-third-term movement its first major boost over the weekend. He urged that congress submit to the states this year a constitutional amendment limiting presidential service to two terms of four years each. He- warned that ambition for possible additional terms could be detri mental to the national interest. Sen. Wayne L. Morse, R., Ore., introduced in the senate yester day a resolution to prevent i third term. Various similar pro positions are pending or have been suggested. But it is recog nized that this republican pro posal of Martin's must have democratic backing if it is to get anywhere soon. President Tru man will be asked to express an opinion on a constitutional limi tation. 'Yukon Belles' Riot in Color, Music at Liberty . High life in the frozen north in the rip-roaring days of the gold rush is the basis of International's gay satire, "Belle of the .Yukon," opening Wednesday at the Liber ty theater, which stars Gypsy Rose Lee, Randolph Scott, Dinah Shore and Bob Burns, witn Charles Winninger. Released through RKO Radio, !h. lavish technicolor musical ex travaganza deals with the hectic events which follow the arrival or Belle DeVallc and Her Girls.

Their stormy romance, anoth er love affair between a dance ball singer and the establish ment's pianist, and the ingenious schemes by which Honest John and other shady residents plan to steal the gold dust which the trusting local miners have de posited in Mr. Calhoun's care, all bring about the hilarious climax.

The White Sox victory, before a crowd of 47,144 fans at Comis key park," highlighted a program of three inter-league night games for the benefit of war charities. Wally Moses hit a homer for the Sox in the seventh and scored the winning run in the 10th on a sin gle by ;John Dicku'hot. Relief pitcher Kurl Caldwell, holding the Cubs to one hit in six inn ings, was the winner over Paul Derringer. At New York, the Yankees put on a six-run rally in the third to beat the Giants, 7 to 1, at the Polo Grounds before 41,207 fans, who contributed $50,518. Ernie Bonhnm gained the victory which was insured in the big inning by Hershcl Martin's grand-s 1 a m homer. A disappointing crowd of 0.060 fans saw the Cincinnati Reds gain a 0 to 0 victory over the In dians at Cleveland in a third charity game. They contributed about $0,000 to the national war relief and service funds. Frank Dasso, Vernon Kennedy and How ard Fox collaborated in the Cin cinnati shutout. Woody Wil liams led the 13-hit Red attack with three hits. In war charity games today the Cards and Browns play at St. Louis, the Brooklyn Dodgers and Senators at Washington, the Phil lies and the Athletics at Phila delphia and the Braves and Red Sox at Boston. Congress in Spot In Latest March Of Time Film No more opportune time could be found for the release of the latest March of Time, "Spotlight on Congress," than the moment when President Truman has just called upon his former colleagues to be prepared to work hand in hand with him on domestic and foreign affairs. For some time there has been a growing feeling that congress is operating under outmoded rules of procedure. Now the March of Time, which opens Wednesday at the Liberty theater, by showing audiences just how a congress man spends his day, points up the growing complexity of the indi vidual congressman's problems. In this connection, an import ant sequence in the film shows the plan of an industrial engi neer, Robert Heller, to reorganize and strengthen the congress and make it a more efficient instru ment of representative govern ment. In a "14 point" program, sponsored by the National Plan ning ;issociation, Mr. Heller makes such proposals as an" in crease in Hie salaries of congress men from ten to twenty-five thousand dollars a year and a slashing elimination of overlap ping committees. Five Germans Die For Murder of Fellow I'risoner FORT l.KAVFNWOUTll, Kan., July HI lUP) Five German prisoners of war whom nazi zeal led to murder a fellow soldier in an Oklahoma internment camp were hanged at llv; disciplinary barracks eaily today in a his toric application of U. S. military justice. It was the first time an enemy war prisoner had been executed in the United States. Not a single "boil Hitler!" came from any of the doomed men as they walked about 100 yards across this army post from the main detention building known familial ly as "The Castle" to an old warehouse building where a gallows had been set up in an elevator shaft. The Germans Walter Beyer. Berthold Seidel, Hans Dimme, Hans Schonv.-r and Willi Scholz were found guilty In- a U. S. army court of nundcring Johannes Kunze. , Approximately 150,000.000 gal lons of ice cream are manufac tured annually in the United States during normal times. SPORTS Page 6 TODAYS By JACK CUDDY UP Staff Correipondent NEW YORK, July 10 (UP) Persistent rumors along 49lh street suggest Sgt. Joe Louis soon will receive his honorable dis charges from the army.; The heavyweight champion, now 31, has been in service three and a half years. In connection with these rum ors, wemet a chap last night in front of the Forrest hotel where the great men of tin-car terrace congregate. Using the side-mouth delivery, ho whispered, 'Come away from dose bums into the bar; I got somclhin' hot to tell yuh." Straight Dope His hot special was a repeti tion of the Louis rumor, with nourishes. He said: "I got it straight from the right party. Louis gets his discharge in about a month maybe in time lor an outdoor fight in September. No, I don't know nothin' about his points. With Louis, it ain't a question of points. I got it straight that the war department figures Joe s job is done y know wot I mean hclpin' the morals of the fightin men. Can t use him much in the Pacific, 'cause that's a different kind of war. Ready? "An the war department knows nearly every man in service wants to sec Louis get out and defend his title before he's so old the first civilian heavy he meets will belt his brains out. H-o's one of the most popular guys in service done everything he could to entcrtain the boys, wher ever the army font him, and never was the least bit uppity. They like him a lot, 'cause he's been a credit to th army; an' they know he's broke an' gct lin' old for a fighter." If champion Joe did get out of the army in time for a Sept ember title defense, who would bo the challenger? That was easy for our fountain of information. He answered im mediately; "Joe 'Baksi or Tami Mauricllo. Needs It But are they ready yet to meet the great Louis? It am t a question of them bein' ready," he explained, dig ging an emphatic forefinger into our ribs. "It's a question of whether Louis is ready for them. Joe's up at Camp Shanks now. He weighs about two hunnert an' twenny pounds, an' he ain't had a fight in moron's three years not since he knocked out big Abe nimon in March, 11142. He 11 be rusty as hell. And nobodj knows if he'll ever be able to get back in shape at his age." Why would Louis chance a c,uick title fight if there were any great risk involved? "Because Joe needs money bad," our voluble friend con cluded. Novikoff To Go To Army Wednesday LOS ANGELES, July 10 (UP) Lou Novikoff, fence-busting outfielder of the floundering Los Angeles Angels, said today he will be inducled into the army Wednesday at Fort MacArthur, Calif.

Ask for ELK HORN BEER THE UEKIl OV National Leaguers Favored in Game Not To Be Played Had Best Hitting This Year; But Not Pitching By CARL LUNDQUIST NEW YORK, July 10 (UP) If there is any consolation in being favored to win a game that won't be played, it belonged today to the Nationul league, which prob ably would have rated a 2 to 1 choice to win the war-cancelled maor-league all-stiir contest at Boston. - This gamie, originally esched uled to be played today in Fen way park, home of the Red Sox, was called off to reduce the war time travel burden. The Basehlt Since the National league has reversed a long-standing tradi tion to become the hitters' circuit for this season at least, it would have rated a definite edge. over the admittedly superior pitching in the American, because in past all-star games the base-hit has been a mightier weapon than the put-out. The American leaguers, who boasted u terrifying array of pow er from 1933 until last season riddled the brilliant National league pitching year after year to hang up a record of eight vie torics in 12 starts in the mid-sea son classic. With the balance of hitting power now in the Na tional, there is no reason to dis regard logic and assume things would have been any different this year. Leaden In the 21 -man mythical honor ary squads selected on the basis of general excellence, the Na tional league batters have a col lective average of .314 as against a mark of ,284 for the American. In the vital runs-batted-in de partment, one of the chief items considered in selecting the squads the National leaguers h)id 60k against 414 for the junior circuitr National league selectees have hit 79 homers to 61 for the American. In pitching it is a different story. Led by the all-conquering Dave (Boo) Ferriss of the Red Sox, whose 14 wins and two loss es provide the best mark in the majors, the American league corps of six has 02 wins and 23 losses. The National league sex tet has a mark of 55 wins and 22 defeats. The National league has the year's number one all-around hit ter in Tommy Holmes of the Braves, whose .400 mark at the last official tabulation was 40 points better than that of the next regular in either league. Man of 77 Claims 'Walking' Record GALESBURG, 111., July (UP) Seventy-seven year William Farlow, Galesburg, 10 old 111., boasted today he can outwalk any man or boy in the state of Illinois. Farlow can back up his chal lenge, too. Yesterday he made a seven-mile hike in an hour and 37 minutes, bettering the "rec ord" for that distance claimed by John W. Simpson, 75, Spring field. Simpson who had strolled from Rochester to Springfield in two hours and 25 minutes, challenged anyone 75 years or older to beat bis record. Farlow accepted the challenge. He wore his regular, everyday clothes for the hike and even carried an umbrella. WASHINGTON LEADS SAN FRAN CISCO, July 10 (UP) The slate of Washing ton led the Pacific coast states in the seventh war loan campaign with 189 percent of its quota or $344,000,000 in all types of bonds sold. The announcement was made yesterday by William V. Ragcn, jr., ofythe war finance board. Washington's original quoin was $189,1)00,000. (iOOU TASTE Denny Sliute Leading In National PGA DAYTON, O., July 10 (UP) Dapper Denny Shute of Akron, O., striving to keep alive one of golfdom's grittiest comebacks, goes out for a new record today as the big push gets under way in the final qualifying round of the PGA national tournament. And Shute, leading the field, couldn't have picked a tougher time. For 140 of America's best pros are shooting against him in an effort to gain one of the 31 qualifying places open in the fi nals of this most celebrated of big league tournaments. Won Twice Forgotten except for his 1030 and 1937 PGA championships and his 1933 victory in the British open, Shute exploded out of no where yesterday when he blazed a fivo-under-par 67 over the Mo raine country club course to take a one-stroke lead going into the last 18 holes of the 36-hole quali fying play. Shutc's present play marks the climax of a long climb back. Smitten by a crippling wrist in jury in March, 1940, and by ap pendicitis only six months later, Shute has never fully recovered his championship form of a dec ade ago. He did manage to qual ify for the 1943 PGA, the last one in which he played. Nelson Trails Tied with 08s arc SSgt.

Nelson and his gold dust twin, McSpaden, who were supposed to monopolize this tournament just as, they have most of the others during the past two years, were slightly off the pace with two Hollywood Stars Have New Outlook By JACK DAILEY Overshadowed since the start of the Pacific coast league base ball season by the consistent Portland Beavers and the equally steady Seattle Rajniers, Holly wood's Stars have come up from the second division with a new outlook on the pennant race. While they remain in last place in the standings, 17 Vi games be hind the Beavers, the Stars prved to be the surprise of the league during the last two weeks. In their recent series with Oak land, they won the odd game for a 4-3 edge in the series. Against San Diego a week later, they copped the eight-game runoff, 0-2. They hold a record of 10 victories in their last 15 games. In league play this week, the leaders will find out if the San Francisco Seals are going to be as much a pushover as they ap peared to be in Sacramento last week. Pairings for the next eight games, beginning luesday eve ning, find Portland and San Fran cisco clashing in the Rose City; Oakland plays host to Sacramen to; Hollywood tests its newly found strength against Seattle and San Diego's Padres come up to Wrigley field to engage the Los Angeles Angels.

He is going to pitch left handed. Ferriss, who is ambidextrous, has been warming up as a left hander lately, but lacks the con trol to become a southpaw sud denly in a league game. He thinks, however, eventually he may develop his left handed pit. thing to such an extent he can be his own relief hurler.
