( - 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

concerning manpower.
Not that the Dodgers haven't

for one thing.
And they have

of the league.
Anyway, Awhile
the other clubs
are - trw- h ti -v

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. '

when they're Is, but we have
a line en them, and after the

personally as many of the boys as
possible. A series of about 20 base

"Most of the recommendations
seem sound, and we are able to
crosscheck in some cases when

one coach. 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

game at a time when they might
drift away from it
It is as sound, In fact, as the

NEW YORK-CrT-Should the air forces or the ground forces b in. supreme TOmrnand during
a batUe? '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.
