The OHLGOII CTATECMAII, Ccleou Oregon. Cundor J forcing. June 27. 1213 PAG2 TimiTEEri BY WHITNEY MARTIN. ( - NEW YORK, June 26.-;F)-At a time when most of the ma jor league dubs are too overcome by current difficulties to wor s ry much about the future, the Brooklyn-Dodgers quietly are go v ing about the business of solving post-war problems, particularly concerning manpower. Not that the Dodgers haven't pressing, problems of their own right now. -They have the ' short stop position. for one thing. And they have the St Lou 1 1 Card! nals. problem c o m mon to the rest of the league. Anyway, Awhile the other clubs are - trw- h ti -v m bauinir to wor ry about what might happen If mey reacn shore, the Dodgers are lining up just about all the young " fellows in the country who have yen Xor baseball, and are label ing them and pigeon-holding4pem xor ruture reference. . , It's the old Rickey, system of getting .them young, treating them right and telling them everything, Including the great future in store for them If they string along with ; r. Rickey and his organization. Most of the minotrlearues are la mothballs f r the duration, so the yeans fellews with base ball aspirations doa't know Just hew te ge about making eon . mectiens with seme pre outfit . And with the farm system also pretty well shot, the ma jer clubs miss " the . opportunity- te leek over, Jand develop these embryo stars. Branch Rickey, jr. In charge of the Dodger farm, system, . or what is left of it, has taken steps which not only will make a lot of young fellows Dodger-minded after the war, but will assure the good will of , thousands of volun teer-scouts who are anxious to see a worthy lad made good. Branch. Jr., seat eat , 2i,t0t letters te hlrh school coaches threugheat the eenatry, eearte oosly asking them te forward what' information they had as te boys who might develop into major league .ban players. To date: more than -1,500 an swers have been received, and, if the sponsors are right in their Judgement, some of the boys re- - commended are hum-dingers.

Sometimes,' though, coach just likes a boy and feels that he might make good because he was a good basketball player or went to bed at 9 every night.' Aside from 'the natural self-in terest of the Dodgers, the idea is sound in " that it maintains the : active Interests of boys r in the game at a time when they might drift away from it It is as sound, In fact, as the Idea ef Stanley Freesle ef In dianapolis, Ind.

'AX?i'Z-V--?''Z? . : c ;; -r-yy ' tr . This burning tactical question which' is stil 1 debated fiercely in - Britain and America haa been solved in North Africa. v . V . The answer is "neitherV V ' ".S'-".. - vv 't; 'r--f ;y- ' ; '. The first steps in solving the problem. were taken by two tough minded men, ach extremely jealous of their respective arms. Sir Arthur Tedder and the eighth army's cocky commander, General Bernard Montgomery. J ' Another fierce advocate of air power, red haired and - taciturn - Lieutenant General Carl ; Tooey Spaatz, American commander pf the northwest African form of the new battle tactics. The problem has nothing to do with the broader policy of wheth er the war .can be won by bomb ing alone That is something which remains to be seen. Generals - and - air " marshals. even the milder ones, are diffi cult characters. They are used to having . their commands observed and expect to be In command of everything In their areas. TNder add Montgomery are definitely not of the "mnder" type. When they first met in the desert year ago as Rommel battered at the gates of Egypt they might wen have become keen rivals. Most ground generals wish to have the. air forces wider their thumbs where they cam V call apen them as needed, bat Mont gomery had a different Idea. All' he wanted 1 was "air superior ity" so that , his troops .would -net be held vp by axis planes. He did not feel that it was up to him to tell the air force how to do it In substance he told Ted der, "I ' don't care how you get It that's entirely up to you. ' Tedder, for his part, uttered a few words of warning. He said the RAF and American ah forces would get superiority, but . that Montgomery's forces were not to expect to have every ME 109 or JU87 combed out of their hair, nor to see great clouds of planes overhead all day for moral sup port Tedder's tactics were -simple. Before an offensive he turned his entire strength against the enemy airfields. Hons after hoar he hammered the fields until he caught their planes on the' ground and wiped them, oat Instead of trying to cut off the branches of. the tree he eat It off at the roots. When he had knocked oat the laftwaffe he turned te Montgomery and said, "Yoa have your air superiority and now what do yoa want as to do to help your troops. ; Montgomery would . then give Tedder a list of targets, usually artillery ;. positions, 'which were proving' obstacles to his tanks and infantry. Tedder would then turn his force against these; targets, confident there would be no op-r position. , While Tedder and Montgomery were putting these , tactics Into oDeration the allied forces Iandfi tag in North Africa were having;! their air troubles. General An-1 aerson s lirst army was maaung its abortive drive for .Tunis and Bizerte that failed by just 48 hours. The few planes available were placed under Anderson's personal command. The half doz en Spitfires and Lightnings avail able for each local patrol were met by" dozens of ME109s and FW190S and wiped out of the air. The luftwaffe then bombed the first army to a halt General Eisenhower then called Spaatz from England to rebuild his tatteretfair forces. . It took most of the winter te meet ;J the laftwaffe on equal terms and then Tedder arrived as supreme commander for air In the Mediterranean and he and Spaats created a new type of air force.' They divided the planes under their command according to types into two air forces, tactical and strategic The tactical air force was as signed the task of ground sup port It's job was the same as Tedder's , had been In Egypt and Libya. It was given almost all the fighters, all the light bombers and some of the medium bombers. The strategic air force, com posed ot. the long range fighters. Flying Fortresses and other heavy bombers with some m e d I u rn bombers, was assigned the job of knocking out the axis supply lines by bombing harbors and docks. Hew well the Tedder-Spaats- Moatgemery tactics worked was- shown in . the complete air sn - perierity enjoyed by the allies In the . Mediterranean, . which enabled them to bomb Pantel-. leria mto submission. ? Pantelleria was another ex ample of dual battle command, The ground forces were waiting and ready to assault the Italian island fortress but Spaatz and Tedder said, We can do it alone. Just wait It is doubtful if the larger Islands will fall to air power alone, but when the allies land they will have little to worry about from the, luftwaffe.
