COPS HER FIRST NET TITLE TOGA Detroit, June 17 U.R Doro thy May Bundy, chunky and hard-hitting Santa oMnica star, won her first national singles crown today when she defeated Mary Arnold, Los Angeles, 7-8, 6-4, in a hard-fought final of the national clay courts tennis tour nament. Miss Bundy, daughter of Tom and May Sutton Bundy, them selves tennis champions many years ago, possessed too many shots and too much drive for her attractive opponent and came through with decisive points at critical moments. The 27-year-old Miss Bundy, who had previously advanced no farther than the semi-final round of the national grass court tournament, and who had been beaten many times in final matches of smaller tournaments, refused to be beaten today by the steady, accurate play of her opponent. Using her overhead game to good advantage, she repeatedly smashed for placement points, and it was on a sljot of this kind that she took the title, after Miss Arnold had several times fought back from match points. The champion's hard drives kept Miss Arnold on the move throughout the match and set up easy points on cross-court placement. Although Miss Arnold hung tenaciously to her smaller oppo nent's heels, she held the lead only once in the match at 3-2 in the first set. BASEBALL By United Press ...... ....

(ALLIES READY TO BALKANSTATES Greece. Yugoslavia, Albania To Get Supplies When Countries Invaded. Bf Samyi D. Soukl U. P. Staff Correspondent Cairo (U.R The defeat of famine and disease, enemies as formidable as the Germans, is being planned now for the relief of the Balkans when "Zero Hour" strikes and the allies in vade. On the heels of the attacking forces will land men and sup plies toceed the starving people of Greece, Yugoslavia, and Al bania. The men and materials assigned to this task are already based somewhere in the desert of the Middle East British offi cers and men of the allied mili tary liaison (Balkans). Numbered in hundreds, these men are now finishing their training which was based on a flow of reports that reached them from various unrevealable sources on the sit uation In the Balkans. The AML was set up in Feb ruary, 1943, by Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilson acting on or ders received from London. The aim was to create an organization that would be able to assist the Balkan countries to recover from chaos that may come after the Germans withdraw from the occupied area. Priority io Greece First priority lnt he plans was assigned to devising a scheme for the relief of Greece, hardest hit, hence hardest to relieve. AML now needs only the word that the supreme commander in the Mediterranean has launched his attack and lt will be ready to go into action with him. Yugoslavian and Albanian plans are also- well advanced toward completion. AML planners have purposely made their scheme very flex ible.. It can be put into effect Immediately, or at some distant date. It can be applied partially or completely, depending upon the nature of the invasion. No one knows the target date for the Balkan Invasion and no one knows in what state of disinte gration Balkan affairs will be when the day for AML to move In occurs. Will civil war be rag ing or will the people be group ed around a single leader? Here are unknowns that make flexibility essential in the or ganization: 1. The target date for the Bal kan Invasion is not known. 2. The political setup in the Balkans li hazy. 3. Lack of knowledge as to what, if any, local organizations will be intrenched strong enough to lend a hand In relief work. 4. In trying to relieve Inland areas of the Balkans, will AML troops have to cope with enemy guerrilla forces fighting a delay ing Dattie7 8. Will the Germans carry out a "scorched earth" policy in the area? o. win purely military re quirements of an operational nature hamper AML? Shuns Polities Whatever their politics, AML officers know that the amount of aid they will be able to give is extremely limited, held to the barest minimum necessary to avert famine and disease. AML as an organization is strictly military no political considerations are tolerated In meeting their problems. In fact omcers joining tne unit are carefully investigated to Insure complete freedom from "politi cal inclinations" detrimental to the aim of the mission. Officers who have good background knowledge of the Balkans are WHY NOT? Hava tho Extra Style, Fit, Looks and Lasting Quality of tho KLEIN TAILORED SUDT Made to Fit You and Look Your BEST Klein Th. Tailor UPSTAIRS Back the attack. Buy Bonds often turned down as applicants because of some connection with Balkan families who are con nected with some political party. The knowledge of these men is not lost, however, as- they are often called upon to advise on technical points while adminis trative policy Is left to other dis interested officers, While the Balkans are utmost entirely a "British sphere of in fluence," there is some Ameri can participation in AML, espe cially in the supplies section. UNRRA has also lent its support to the Brtlish military organiza tion, and its several hundred workers will be cooperating ful ly with AML to relieve the stricken populations. ROSEWIRID .
