when they open a series with
the sixth-place San Francisco
Seals while Portland and Seattle,
the two top clubs, try to kill off
each other.
Oakland, now four games off
the pace in fourth place, has
one of the strongest pitching
staffs in he league. The offense
department is led by two players
who have turned down chances
to play in the major leagues
Les Scarsella and Jake Caulfield.
The eight-game series at Seals
Stadium will be highlighted by
the appearance of Sad Sam Gib

mates. Gibson was released by

FOR ATTEMPT TO
CORNER RYE MART
Chicago, May 29 (U.R) A
government complaint on file to
day charging four individuals
and firms with cornering the
Chicago grain market was the
most sweeping action ever taken
against such alleged activities.
according to a La Salle street
dealer.
It marked the fourth time in
nearly 20 years that a govern
ment agency had brought a corn
ering charge they said.
The latest action was taken
yesterday by the War Food ad
ministration at Washington. It
charged General Foods Corp.,
new York; the Daniel Rice and
company, Chicago, and four in
dividuals including a former
Board of Trade president with
violating the Commodities and
Exchange act.
The government claimed the
individuals and companies had
manipulated the price of rye and
rye futures from December,
1942, to May, 1944. This was
said to have resulted in a corner
on the May, 1944, market.

State Agricultural Commissioner
J. E. McDonald today declared
an emergency quarantine against
all California citrus fruit except
lemons being moved into south
Texas.
McDonald's proclamation said
the measure was to prevent in
troduction into Texas of a citrus
disease known as "quick de
cline." Walter T. McKay, chief of the
Division of Horticultural Inspec
tion of the Texas Department, of
Agriculture, said the disease now
exists in California and is espe
cially destructive to trees grown
from sour root stock. Sour root
stock is used exclusively in the

The' above statement gives you an idea of

This year there will be only two War
Bond drives, not three. But only by buying
more bonds during the 7th War Loan can
two drives take the place of last year's
three. Almost as much money is needed this

the flying "suicide bomb," has
cost the lives of 332 Japanese
fliers since it was first used
against American shipping off
UKinawa last March, radio
Tokyo said today.
Tokyo identified the new sui
cide corps as the "Jinral," or di
vine thunder squadrons, whose
sole mission is to crash into
enemy shipping or ground tar
gets. The weapon, which American
naval correspondents observed
and reported some time ago, is a
small, explosive-packed plane
launched from larger aircraft.
Semi-official American accounts
indicated the flying bombs have
a one-man suicide crew and are
capable of very high speeds.

OWNS OCEAN OIL
r
Washington, May 29 U.R)
The government moved today to
find out exactly who owns the
oil deposits under the ocean just
off the U S. coastline.
Ownership of these submerged
deposits has been a subject of
controversy for many years.
Attorney-General Francis Bid-
die announced that the Depart
ment of Justice has filed a suit
in the U. S. District Court at Los
Angeles to enjoin the Pacific
Western Oil Corp., from extract
ing oil in -the Elwood Oil Field,
off the California coast near
Santa Barbara. The company Is
operating under a lease issued
by the state.
The suit will be a test case to
establish rights of the national
government to petroleum depos
its between the point of low tide
and the three-mile offshore lim
it, Biddle said.
The U. S. will claim that it
acquired all submerged deposits
in the so-called "marginal sea"
by the treaty of 1848 in which
Mexico ceded California to this
country, he explained. The
claim will hold that ownership
of the deposits was not trans
ferred to the state by vir'il:e of
its admission to the union.
