MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1943 PAGE THREE 5 ? TOT 4 New York. Jan. 12 U.B The New York Yankees, cham nioni of the American league, became the e v e n t h major league club to complete close- to-home spring training plans today with the announcement that they will condition at the Asbury Park, N. J., high school -only 65 miles from New York City. ' The Yankees, knocked off by the St. Louis Cardinals in the World series, were scheduled to train as usual at St. Peters burgh, Fla., but changed their plans because of war-time transportation difficulties.

Barrow said the Yankees will use the Asbury Park high school field. It has concrete seats with a capacity of 7,200, and there are showers, lockers and dress ing rooms under the stands. There is also a cinder track around the field. Sports Writers Sigh For Vanished Junkets to South By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Corerspondent New York, Jan. 12 (U.R) For the past ten days metropolitan sports pages have seeped nostalgia as the baseball writers pined for the southern training camps as or yore.

Ring Writers Mum Yet you read no lachrymose laments from the boxing writers, the men who had the most to bleat about, because these hardy chroniclers of clout wound up without even ersatz training camps. The baseball writers, at least, have some place to go. even if it Is only to Asbury Park, N. J., where the New York Yan kees will train. When you come to the big- fight camps, brother, you have something far more expansive and intensive, even though that camp may be pitched In Specu lator. N. Y., where the God-fear ing natives became convinced that the rest of the world was a madhouse, judging by the antics of the sports-writing representa tives who trekked through that picturesque pine-scented spot 300 or 400 strong, from all baili wicks from San Francisco to Ber lin, Germany. The factor that made a fight camp an Institution without par allel in the semi-sane strata of American life was the emphasis upon the motif of "self defense. Anyone who entered the portals of those major fight camps put his life, or at least his limbs, in jeopardy. Camp Tales Many We haven't the space here to regale' you with anecdotes about the coffins in which live but inebriated reporters and photog raphers were shipped out, and the hurly-burly that ensued in express cars when they started knocking on the lids of their ghastly sarcophagi. Nor about the electric chairs, the bottom- bored rowboats, the Mickey Finns, the frog-inhabited beds, the overhead fans laden with sneezing powder, the water buck ets above bedroom doors, the husband-come-home false arrests. the automobile "bombs," the bat tles between reporters and fight ers and trainers and among them selves. We wish we had the space to riffle your risibilities with such anecdotes, because when we be gin to go down memory lane among the pastoral meccas of pugilism, we, too, could become nostalgic.

Not only must dealers in those meats make available to OPA inspectors' the records of all sales, but they must also supply invoices to each customer on each sale. Certain dealers who kept the necessary records but questioned the right of inspectors to inspect them made the order necessary. State OPA ,Says Violators Risk Revocation of Mile age Books Explained Boasting Soldiers Advised To Forego Talk About Service Washington, Jan. 12 (U.R) The war department announced formally today that it's all right for cocky soldiers to brag to their girl friends about anything under the sun but the armed services. But such boasting, when It touches upon the army or navy, "is the most common cause of leakage," the department warn ed in a lecture about military secrets, spies and a few rela tively unpublicized facts of life. Asserting that "90 per cent of indiscretions" on the part of soldiers are due to conceit, the department added: "Why do we boast? Most of us to impress a woman." "There is little harm In it, and providing you leave the service out of it, you can go ahead," the lecture continued. The war department warned that spies never look like spies. Instead, an enemy agent will probably look like "a typical American who knows as much about the Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers as we do." Local war price and ration ing board members stated to day that word has been received from the state OPA office in Portland that a man will be sent here next week for a spot check of misuse of mileage rationing privileges. This check, it was explained, Is to find motorists who are wilfully violating the regulations and using their gasoline allotment for purposes other than for which it was issued and these drivers will run the risk of having their ration books revoked. "Our drive is designed In part," Richard G. Montgomery, OPA state director, explained, "to protect the patriotic C book- holder who is abiding by the regulations from criticism which should be directed against other kind of C book- holder who is chiseling. We trust our drive will separate the sheep from the goats." A and B bookholders, many of whom are entitled to but forego the higher allotment as a patriotic sacrifice, deserve protection. Montgomery pointed out that the holder of a C book has a public responsibility not to divert mileage to non-essen tial purposes. Motorists with B and C books have 80 miles month leeway for essential fam ily driving and OPA spot check is aimed to 'curb such driving in excess of this amount, it was ex plained.

INFLATION AIDED New York, Jan. 12 (U.R) Earl Browder, national secretary of the Communist party, charged last night that congress and "the upper classes" are sabotaging President Roosevelt's anti-imia- tion program. Browder praised Mr. Roose velt for his leadership in the war against Adolf Hitler before a party rally in Madison Square Garden. Only one objective of Mr, Roosevelt's seven-point plan to combat inflation has been com pletely carried out, Browder said. That was the purchase of war bonds.

Jan. 12 (U.R) Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and police searched to day for fanatical Italian Fascists suspected of assassinating Carlo Tresca, 68, veteran radical and impassioned enemy of Benito Mussolini. Tresca was shot down on Fifth avenue last night, a few feet from the office of the bitterly anti-Fascist newspaper II Mar tello (The Hammer), which he published with a friend, Gui seppe Callabl. no YEAR'S JURY LIST Netherlands news agency Aneta reported today. One hundred and forty-six survivors of the sinking of a nunldentified mer chant ship were landed here yesterday. The county court plans to start soon on the annual selec tion of a general Jury list for the coming year, consisting of between 250 and 300 names. The list will be available for use during the February term of circuit court, starting the last Tuesday in that month, due to the regular Monday date falling on Washington's birthday. Commissioner William Perry of Eagle Point reported today the selection, due to gas and tire rationing, would be a rather ticklish job, as citizens living at a distance might not be willing to respond. "It looks like we might have to pick people who live within walking distance of the courthouse, but of course I don't see how we can do that."

THANK YII The people who live in the cities, towns and villages along Southern "Pacific's lines in the Wist have just provided a fine example of war-time cooperation. We think this cooperation deserves recognition and we want to say "thank you" ... since Southern Pacific was primarily concerned. And we're quite sure the many thousands of men in uniform who benefitted too, would also like to join us in this expression of appreciation. Early in December we were faced with the problem of providing trans portation during the holidays for a very large number of men in the armed services who were to be given holiday furloughs. Because of the pressure of war traffic on our equipment . . . cars and locomotives .'. . we knew that we could not provide transportation for all these service men and the normal number of civilian holiday travelers too. So we arranged a somewhat drastic and extensive program requiring coach reservations for virtually all trains, and set aside a major portion of both Pullman and coach space for the service men. Then we ran ad vertising telling people what our problem was) and why we could not take care of everyone who would like to travel during the holidays. We asked people not to "Try the Train". As a result many people gave up holiday trips they very much wanted to make. The amount of civilian travel, compared with December, 1941, was considerably reduced and we took care of the service men in good shape. There was comparatively little congestion, and all essential travel was accommodated. So we know that people generally have cooperated . . . and we give you all a hearty "thank you.'' We hope you will continue to confine your trips, In 1943, to essential s travel. May we also express our appreciation at this time for your considerate and understanding attitude towards Southern Pacific and its service during the last twelve months? Because of the many trains on our tracks . . . carrying troops, equipment, war freight, vital materials and food . . . and the decreased amount of equipment for passenger use, our pass enger service has been below peace-time standards. Trains have been crowded, and trains have been late. Because of the pressure for equip ment, we have had to use many old cars, and we haven't been able to clean and refurbish equipment as well as we would like. We cannot obtain additional dining cars, and the conditions surrounding dining car operation these days are extremely difficult, We have tried to give you the facts about our problems and difficulties, at the same time trying to do the very best transportation job we could under the circumstances. You in turn have responded in a way that has been most encouraging to us. You have shown a friendliness under war time travel conditions that is heart-warming to us railroaders. A. T.
