Medf(dTribune Williams Claims Pod res Draft Penalty of Stardom Sarasota, Fla. (U.R) Ted Williams, four times the Ameri can league batting champion and twice a war hero, today went to bat for Army-bound Johnny Podres with a charge that the 23-year-old pitcher "is paying the penalty fpr being a star." "It's the fault of gutless pol iticians, gutless draft boards and gutless sportswriters that a kid like Podres is being drafted," the 37-year-old Boston Red !Sox slugger said. "If he'd lost the World Series0 he wouldn't be going into the Army." Podres, who pitched the Dodgers to their first world championship by beating the New York Yankees, 2-0, in the seventh game of the 1955 World Series, is facing induction into vo-voUB The World' 8 Finest Bourbon, Since 1795 Worthy of Your Trust for 161 Years . . .

He originally was ordered to report for induction at Ticon deroga, N.Y., on March 15 but asked and received permission for his papers to be transferred to a New York City board. Williams, who spent the 1943, 1944 and 1945 seasons in ser vice and was recalled by the Marine Air Corps for duty in Korea in 1952 and 1953, told newsmen "politicians, draft boards and sportswriters are equally to blame." "Podres is simply paying the penalty for being a star," he said. "When he became a hero in the series, some politicians said, "why isn't a big strong kid like that in the Army?' The draft boards didn't have the courage to oppose the politicians and the sportswriters are equal ly to blame because they didn't take up the case for Podres." CUBS FORGOTTEN MAN PROVES HEAVY HITTER IN TRAINING By JOE SARGIS United Press Sports Writer The Chicago Cubs, whose fav orite pastime this winter was picking up spare outfielders, may have the man they were looking for on their roster all the time. Hank Sauer, the forgotten man of 1955 who was able to get into only 79 games when Mana ger Stan Hack passed him up for younger players, is smacking the ball with his old power in exhi bition games to date. From the looks of things its going to be awfully tough to pass him up again. Sauer drove in three runs with a homer and single Tues day to keep the Cubs in a game they eventually lost to the Cleveland Indians, 11-7.

The science of plastics now has reached the point where it is ready to move in on the tin can. The annual production of tin cans is in the billions, of course. The plastic can is only now going into mass production and marketing after an intensive test period that's remarkable. Upgrade Prices Also significant is that ad vancing plastics technology now has made it possible to make a plastic can for only 20 per cent more than a tin can. It used to cost more than twice as much. Tin plate prices are on the up- Conservation Group Plans Annual Meeting F. E.

The price of the usual plastic, polyethylene, has a downward trend. The techni cians are sure they'll continue to cut the price margin. The plastic can looks like a tin can. You might not know the difference until you picked it up. Then you'd discover its sides are flexible "squeez able," that is. For certain can ned products, squeezability be comes highly utilitarian. For other canned products, such as stewed tomatoes, it would make no difference. So the tin can is safe. Tin in Cans Anyway, both ends of the plastic can are tin. Polyethylene is extruded as a sleeve, and the ends of the sleeve are closed with the metal discs. .The top disc has a hole through which the product goes in and through which is comes out, and this hole has a tight-fitting plastic plug. The bottom disc is indented and so, despite the protruding plug, grocery clerks can pile them just as high as they now pile tin cans. When you squeeze the sides, it's like working a bellows, and the contents come leaping out. The first application is to a na tionally advertised brand of liquid detergent Which is about to be unveiled country-wide after test marketing here and there.
