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

to report for induction at Ticon

asked and received permission
for his papers to be transferred

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

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.

Plastics Science Ready to
Move Info Tin Can Field
By DELOS SMITH
New York ttJ.P.) 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. Price, Corvallis, dean of
the Oregon State college school

soil conservation district annual
meeting at 8 p.m. Monday,
March 19, in the Eagle Point

Following Price's speech an
election of supervisors will be
held to fill positions now held
by R. Bruce Grieve, Prospect,
four-year-term; Frank Straus,
Gold Hill, four-year tearm; and
Earl B. Day, Central Point, three

The program will also feature
a talk on flood control by Wil

Basin Flood Control committee,
and a report of the district's ac
complishments by B. J. Cox,
work unit conservationist.
Films will be shown on "Wild

grade. 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. The housewife can meas

number of squeezes one

by Rep. Clifford Davis (D-Tenn.),
chairman of a House public
works sub-committee.
