As a Nazi Party leader and erstwhile Nazi war councillor, Hess thus became an extraordinary prize of war beyond the wildest dreams of many Britons. So fantastic was his solo flight out of the Reich that the British Government, after thorough identification of its hostage, announced it only late Britain Shows Biggest Gm for First Time S Monday night, two days after he landed in Scotland. Observers were still openly at a loss over what to make of it. If Hess ihould talk he could lay bare to Britain the entire framework of the Nail enemy—information of inestimable value. The first clue that something had happened to Hess came from Germany Monday. The Nail Party announced that though Hess has been forbidden by Hitler to fly, he took a plane from Augsburg, Bavaria, Saturday at 6 p.m., and presumably had met with an "accident," since he had not been heard from since. The Nail announcement said he had left a note indicating he had "hallucinations." The implication that he wai dead. rn for Some Time to Join Defences • t ,* - ■• OTTAWA.-May 12 (CP1.-MII.

However, be did Bay that it would definitely apply to the first two claisea—those starting their training in April and May. Questioned about the matter today Col. Ralston said he had nothing to add to his earlier announcement. This reply, coupled with the need for men to fill up formations destined for overseas service — a recruiting campaign for 32,000 men in the next two months was opened by the-Minister last night — was interpreted by military spokesmen as an indication there was no Immediate Intention to change the policy.

The Ambassador brought chucklei from hii llitenen several times ss he devlited from his prepared addreu to comment on the Impromptu parachute landing of Rudolf Heu in SiflUasd. ... the midat of commenting on this and eulogising Hess as "the only'Idealist" ln the Nasi regime when it suddenly broke off to deliver this breathless announcement from No. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's residence: "Rudolf Hess, the Deputy fuehrer of Germany and Party leader of the National Socialist Party, has landed in Scotland in , the following circumstance!: "On the night of Saturday, the 10th, a Messerschmitt 110 wu reported by' dur patrol to have cross- ad the coait oTScetlaWiM tb'he flying in the direction ot Glasgow. "Since the Messerschmitt 110 would not have fuel to return to Germany, thii report was at first disbelieved. "Later on . a Messerschmitt 110 crashed near Glasgow with its guns unloaded. Shortly afterwards a German officer who had bailed out was found with his parachute in the neighborhood, suffering from a broken ankle. "He wu taken to a hospital ln Glasgow, where he at first gave his name as Horn, but later on he declared that he wu Rudolf Hess. "He brought with him various photographs of himself at different ages, apparently in order to establish his identity. "These photographs wefe deemed to be photographs of Hess by several people who knew him personally. Accordingly, an officer of the Foreign Office who wu closely acquainted with him before the war has been sent up by airplane to see him in the hospital." Only that and nothing more, for the moment at leut. But it was clear that Hess' disappearance from Germany was no accident. And assuming that the Nazi announcement correctly! gave his point of departure, he could not have made so great a mistak for it is more than 800 air miles from AugSburg to Glugow—the absolute maximum range of a fully-fueled Messerschmitt 110 fighter plane. Comparison of the German and British announcements, however, brought the picture into sharp focus. The Germans said Hess adjutants who permitted him to fly were under arrest. So it wu apparent that either with the connivance est close personal friends or by sheer personil bravado, Hitler'i erstwhile handyman had seized a plane and fled direct to Britain from Germany. Hesa had been cloaest to hitler. Although Goering wai the officially-designated successor to Hitler in cue of death, Heu, because he wu personally far closer to his Fuehrer, ostensibly* »nu next in line.

They itood together ln the ill- fated beer hall putsch at Munich in 1923. They fled together, and were captured and imprisoned together. In prison, Hitler dictated while Heu wrote ind edited "Mein Kampf," the itrange autobiography and exposition of grandiose schemes of the then little-regarded "boss" of the Nazi Party. Hess and Hitler were together through all the storm-toued years thit followed, ind were together when Hitler cime to power ind when he carried out the "blood purge" of 1934. Hess brought Italy'i Mussolini to aee Hitler when the fateful Rome-Berlin Axli wai accomplished He becime Hitler's personal deputy and Minister Without Portfolio, putting Into action the visions ot his chief. Hiller alwayi conildered him reliable— and like Hitler he neither drank nor imoked. At practically every nubile appearance by Hitler, Hen lurked In tht background. when Hitler told the Reichstag that Germany was at war with Poland, Heu was designated as the "Crown. Prince'1 after Goering. Hess gave the funeral oration for the victims of the beer hall explosion of November, 1939, which he and Hitler barely escaped. He was with Hitler eight days ago when the Fuehrer addressed the Reichstag. He looked his usual self on that occasion, unsmiling, a trifle morose, u alwayi. If he had "hallucinations," they were well concealed. Yet even at that moment he unquestionably was harboring in hii mind the plan to leave Germany. The fact that HiUer had forbidden him to fly might indicate that the Fuehrer had aome inkling of his was bosom companion's disaffection.

With them were the officials of the Censorship Department Obvioui to the aasembled press- men was the tact that some extraordinary news was about to be broken. The buzz of speculation was followed by a dead silence. Jt preas liaison officer stepped forward. He read the official statement issued as from No. 10 Downing Street. Seldom had anything been read here with such strained carefulness. Every word was significant. As the officer concluded his message there wu a sudden wild stamping for communications to relay the news to all parts of the world. Newsmen disappeared so speedily that Mr. Duff Cooper, the Director General and the rest of the staff were left in absolute possession of Ihe large hall, in the fixed positions they had taken to hear the announcement read. Although the story broke last night in London at a late hour such was the sensational nature of the implications that lt produced widespread wakefulness. Officials were reluctant to advance theories for publication at leut pending word of those dispatched to investigate the circumstances. The public, however, spoke freely of the astounding news as a manifest disaffection of a Nazi leader, and wondered whether it might be an authentic Indication of the break-up of the Naii hierarchy. The Impact of the news was greater because London newspapers, basing their stories on the radio report, carried headlines that Heu had been killed and was a probable suicide. The fict that air raid warnings had sounded and that London wu under alert for the second night after the extremely severe raid of Saturday night seemed of secondary Importance.

By HOLAND NORGAARD I Associated Preu Staff Writer LONDON, May 13 (Tuesday)- (AP)—Rudolf Hess, head of the German Nazi party and one of the oldest and closest confidants of Hitler, has landed by parachute ln Britain under circumstances suggesting the most profoundly important desertion in all history. The British Government announced from the home of Prime Minister Churchill at No. 10 Downing Street that Hess is ln a Glasgow hospital under treatment for a broken ankle suffered in floating down from a German Messerschmitt fighter plane near there. While the statement did not specially lay that he had deserted. It made three observations of leeming inescapable significance: That Hess had brought along photographs taken at varying years in his life to establish his identity if It were questioned. That he had arrived In a plane which' would not possibly have had enough gasoline for a return to Germany—and thus, inferentially, that his trip was clearly hot a one- man offensive but a one-way flight. That the Messerschmitt'! guns were empty. This moit etraordlnary flight of thli or any other war wu dii-. doted In London a few houn after the" Germani In "BeMlh had announced that Hen — Hltler'i political heir but once removed— wu milling, that he presumably had taken a forbidden plane flight and had cracked up; that he appeared to have been suffering "hallucination!" and had "left behind a confuted letter." The implication was that he was mentally unbalanced and had been deranged for some time; for it was stated that Hitler personally had directed that he not be permitted^ to use any plane. (Early Tuesday German Informants in Berlin insisted that they knew nothing beyond the Reich's original announcement of Hess' dis appearance). Hess from the beginning of National Socialism had stood at Hit ler's right hand and in the Reich's councils of war he had held an in ner place—the possessor of the deepest of military secrets and one of the most influential of all Nazis. At the war'i outlet Hitler publicly gave him in extra-ordinary accolade by announcing that should he himielf fall, Goering ihould be considered the new fuehrer and the dour and earnest Heu Goerlng'i "heir-apparent." The itory of Hess' strange and lonely flight to Britain, as told in the Government's announcement from Downing Street, showed that he first crossed the Scottish coast last Saturday night (and that was the date given by the Germans for his disappearance). He flew on in the direction of Glasgow and later—just when was not disclosed — his Messerschmitt crashed. He bailed out. Taken to the Glasgow* hospital he first identified himself ai "Horn", but later by his correct name. Hli photographi were examined, the Government wid, by several people who knew him personally. All these agreed that they were in fact pictures of Hess. To check still further, an official of the British Foreign Office "closely acquainted with him before the war" wai ient by air- Slane to Glasgow to see the pa- ent. The announcement made the Identification positive by referring to him as "Rudolf Hess, the deputy fuehrer of Germany and party leader of the National Socialist party." Subsequently, the Minister of Information declared that he had been identified as Rudolf Hess beyond "all possible doubt." The implications ot all this, while cautiously avoided by Government officials, were fully discussed by the public. People spoke of lt as an indication ot serious disaffection in Germany, and wondered If It could be considered an authentic Indication of a breakup ln the Nazi top command.

He gossiped for an hour before tba authorities took him away. Totally unaware of the political stature of his air-born* vlaltor, David McLean found Heu lying in the field, his ankle broken, and assisted him to his cottage. Two soldiers who turned up on rou- tine duty thinking they had caught an ordinary German airman chaffed Hess about hia bad luck in bailing out This was McLean'i itory: "I waa in the house and everyone else was in bed and I beard a plane roaring overhead. I ran out to the back ot tha farm. I beard a crash and saw the plane burst into flames about 200 yards away. "I was amazed and a bit frightened when I saw the parachute coming slowly downward. I could see a man swinging from the harness. I concluded it was a German airman bailing out and ran back to my house for help. They were all asleep.

He declined the tea and smiled when we told him we were very fond of ib He asked for a glass of water. "We sent word to the authorities and in the meantime he chatted freely to us and showed us pictures of his litle boy, of whom ne spoke very proudly. "He told us he had left Germany about four hours betore and bad landed because nightfall waa approaching. I could see from the way he spoke that he was a man of culture. His English, although it had a foreign accent, was very clear and he understood every word we said to him. . "He wu a very striking looking **«\ man wearing a magnificent flying suit.

Mr. Greenwood observed rubble, charred wood and masonry piled 90 feet high where pillars once soared to the vaulted roof and where oaken panels md tall windows once had graced the galleries. "Thia too will come within my province ind I must think about its reconstruction," he sadly remarked. Among the thousands of bombs which irained the moonlit skies Saturday night were those which unroofed part of Westminster Abbey damaged the British Museum and Big Ben, the giant clock, and Westminster Hall. While blocks ot the sprawling capital were devoured by flames which the most strenuous efforts could not check. The cetni:al tower ot the Abbey known as the Lantern, was smashed in and wreckage fell on the spot where England's kings and queens are crowned, but the coronation chairs had been moved to safety in August, 1939. Other relics, too, were being found safe today amid the wreckage. Ma). Vyvyan Adams, a Member of Parliament .emerged excitedlv from the smoky House of Commons ruins and reported, "I've found the cabinet over there in what used to be the 'no' lobby. It hu in It the signatures of Gladstone and Disraeli. That at any rate is safe. ' "The mace Is safe too," said Mr. Greenwood. "Luckily, it was taken to another room in the building and this wu untouched." The great oak doors which slammed by ancient tradition in the face of the Black Rod when he came to the Commons now are some where among boulders and bricks where the Speaker's chair, the famous dispatch boxes, the benches, and everything that wu parliament are lying. The shelter where members gathered during raids stood up to the test but another shelter, which the Premier and his cabinet colleagues used, was wrecked. Prime Minister Churchill's rooms were untouched, as were thoie of most ot the cabinet ministen. The bulk of the documents in the vote office, too, were saved, but many papers were smudged and smeared. The tomb of the unknown soldier near the West door of Westminster Abbey also escaped damage. Among those killed in Saturday night's raid was L. Eaton Smith. Mayor of Westminster and Deputy Chief Air Raid Warden.

Says Tunisia Would Be in Dangerous Position Under Any Heavy Attack TUNIS, Tunisia, May 12 (AP) — Although neither optimLstic nor pessimistic concerning th eworld situation. Admiral Jean Esteva, resident-general of Tunisia, believes this part of the French Empire is in greater danger than any other. "Obviously" this is true, he sajd, in an interview, "because, it is in the dangerous middle Mediterranean Basin." He declined to hazard a guess when asked if he thought French Africa was in gi. eater or less danger of invasion now than several months ago. Tunisia, wifh Nice and Corsica, long has been a sorepoint in Italian- French relations. Fascist demonstrations shouted "Nice, Corsica Tunisia ln pre war agitation symbolizing Italian colonial desires and Tunisia itself, containng 103,000 Italan residents, has been a smouldering voK cano in world affai-s for 60 years,' since France made it a p--tectorate. Competent observers h ' 2 believe the French would have a difficult time holding off any powerful aerial and motorized force unless help came quickly from the outside. iThe Free JVench Leader, Gen. Charles de Gaulle, recently said an attack on Tunisia would bring the whole French Empire back into the war.) Discussing the problem of food in France, Admiral Esteva said "we are sending as much as possible of wheat, vegetables, fruit and mutton. Questioned about economic collaboration between Tunisia and the Axis'Powers, the admiral replied. 'There is no such collaboration." Admiral Esteva, an evtremely religious bachelor who spent the happiest of his 61 years at sea, declared that only "the eternal Father" can say who will win the war and said ■he felt the world was "in need of a great i.-eligious revival." "What will be the repercssions on the Moslems of French Africa in your opinion, if the war continues in Iraq?" he was asked. "I don't think its going to continue, he replied.

Answer: Wonder if your quandary won't be solved when you discover that love is lomething more than physical attraction and marriage tome- thing more than a matter of convenience? Being attracted to one man, marrying nlm, divorcing him and straightaway being attracted to another and another Indicates pretty clearly that you are none too certain what you want beyond the desire to be happy. This Is what every woman wants but she doesn't get it unless she has the ability and the determination to make her partner happy. She can't snap up a than, marry him because he seems the easiest way out of a jam end give hint a fair deal on that basis. When she dangles her "Intended" while Ihe playi for time to wring a proposal from an ex-flame, there's the proof she hain't even a ilncere regard for the "intended." However, business Is business to the divorcee bent in getting married again. Presumably the proper business procedure will be to ask the man who came back Just what his Intentions are. Strong probability li that if they had included marriage he would have mentioned the matter. Since nothing less than a categorical aniwer to this question satisfies a woman, you should get it SOUTH SLOCAN C.W.L. NAMES TRAIL DELEGATE SOUTH SLOCAN, B. C.-Mrs. R. G.

He was the neighborhood druggist, just as the doctor was the neighborhood doctor and the minister was the neighborhood minister. His position, as Mr. Nixon lays, was at once the most obscure ana the most important in his community. He performed the greatest service for the lowest pay. APPRENTICE AT 8EVENTEEN The corner druggist hera de> scribed, began his apprenticeship when he was 17 years old. He lived over the drug itore. He was available day and night. He did a good deal of medical practice in the way of prescribing for common ailments. So far as I can see, he did it pretty well. He took care of a great many Illnesses at a cost which the patient could afford to pay and filled a place ln the practice of medicine which I am pot sure was supplied by the regular medical profession. "The old-fashioned neighborhood drugstore was an institution unique in American life. . . . "The corner drugstore was an accommodation center much like the modern filling itation.

Since she has no pie to bake, fish to try or potatoes to put on to cook for a certain time, nor anything else compelling her to leave thu child for a definite period, ihe will need to create work for herself. Let her, therefore, write out a program which will provide for intervals of time (short at first and gradually longer later— during which she will be buiy — sewing, knitting, retdlng, playing the ipiano or solitaire. Let her refuse to give any attention to the child until the end of the definite period. It might be well to have a clock near to ihow tile child just where each hand must be before she will amuse him again. By and by the child will discover that hU criet will not bring Ius mother to him. Having ample toys, he will amuse himself. Let her show great appreciation of hU crudest creation! at Iht turns her at' tention to him. As soon as the child can move about it will be necessary, of course for him to have learned that there are some things he cannot do and some things ht cannot have. MR. AND MRS.

Water-Power to Transform Oklahoma A new future for Oklahoma ia believed to be dawning with the completion, just effected, of the $23,000,- 000 Grand River Dam, plajis for which 7ere mooted by pioneers even before the territory achieved statehood in 1907. The big development, unlike the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia, whioh was first conceived with irri- ,4I_;tioh of a vast dry basin iriind, is solely for industrial objects. When the water creeping up behind the great concrete wall reaches the proper level, forming an irregular 52-mile Jong lake, the big turbines will start the production of electric power, with an eventual capacity of 200,000,000 kilowatt hours a year. The Grand River is a tributary of the Arkansas. The dam, at Pensacola, below the meeting of the Neosho and Spring Rivers, which gives rise to the Grand, is said to be the longest multiple-arch structure of its kind in the world, its length being 6565 feet. The lake, with a shoreline of roughly 1000 miles, will cover 46,295 acres, or 72.3 square miles. It buries 20 feet under its surface the village of Venice, whose 100 inhabitants'moved out, this duplicating the experience of Marcus, Wash., the Great Northern division point, which had to move up from the Columbia Valley to Little Falls on the bank above, while the original site will be overflowed by Columbia Lake, created by the Grand Coulee Dam. Unlike the Grand Coulee Dam development on the Columbia, which is a federal project, the Grand River Dam development is a State affair, though federal aid was invoked. In 1935 the Oklahoma Legislature established the Grand River Dam Authority, and two years later a federal grant of $8,437,000 and a loan of $11,563,- 000 opened the way for the work to begin. Other costs bring the total to $22,750,000. In 33 years, engineers estimate, the revenue from the sale of power, with some from water for the repressuring of oil fields and for irrigation, will repay the WPA money borrowed, leaving the State of Oklahoma with a permanent money-making asset, whose chief value, however, will have been the industrialization of the State and the development of its metal and other industrial resources. Eventually two other dams will be built, one at Fort Gibson and one at Markham Ferry, and their potential capacity will increase the total available low-cost power on Grand River to around 444,000,000 kilowatts annually.

Insanity may be caused by many things, and no record! are available to ihow what tbe principal cause! ire—they may be phyilcal, may be through brain injury or may be purely mental Worry is the habit of taking thingi more seriously than is warranted by the circumstances. There are io many pouible results of worry that it U impossible to lUt them. Insanity is the worst consequence, though not a frequent one. F. K., Nelson-On what date did Italy declare war on Greece?

Remove the paint with a solution of three pounds of trisodium phosphate to the gallon of water. Rinse with clear water. Protect all surrounding painted and varnished surface! by covering them with several thicknesses of paper. When the surface is dry, finish with a heat-resisting enamel or a good quality flat wall paint. Brush the paint In thin, even coato, allowing plenty of time for each coat to dry thoroughly. Thick coaU of paint are apt to peel. All the work must be done when the pipes are cold. The last coat must be thoroughly dry before allowing heat to go through the pipes.

God bless our faithful Allies Who take their place there too, Beside our gallant soldiers Their duty for to do. Upon the sea or in the air They pledge to do their part. Fighting hard to win the day, They're brothers all at heart. We salute the land of stars and stripes For her grand and noble stand; Whose factories hum frpm morn till night So extend the helping hand Giving us ships and tanks and guns And airplanes by the score That we may bravely fight to keep The Huns from off her shore. God speed the day when all thy latida From murderous wars be free; When guns and bombs be heard no more And tanks the ploughs shall be; When ships shall sail the story main With every flag unfurled.

C. 70,000,000 Pencils British pencil makers have set up a new record by their foresight in laying away great quantities of Virginian red cedar wood during the last months of peace. These stocks, with new deliveries from Kenya, are enabling Great Britain to snip more pencils overseas then she did before the war: the Increase for the last quarter of 1940 was 60 per cent, up on the like period of 1939. The result is that 70,000,000 pencils a year, In 3000 styles, are now going out to world markets from the British Isles. The finest of them, and the largest quantities are bought by South Africa for the use of the multitude of draughtsmen in the drawing office! of the Union's great mining centres. The dear pencils exported cost 30/- a gross; the cheapest 5/6. Pencils with "gadgets", metal rings and rubben and other novelties, go to the bazaars of India where the deman. is for cheapness. Lead hardness Is determined by the proportion of China clay mixed with the graphite. Real gold is used for lettering the best; bronie; or silver, or aluminum for cheaper goods. Placed end to end, Britain's 70,000,000 pencils would extend to 778 mllu.

In driving up the Kooteniy Lake road recently I noticed thit during the put Winter and Fall that a number of apparently logging roads have been constructed, no doubt with a view to cutting the timber on the mountllni surrounding the lake and I believe it one point on the West Arm i lumber cimp ind saw mill is being installed at the present time. A few years ago the road from Nelway to Nelson was a very fine drive, especially that part South of Salmo, but it hai become denuded by forest fires'md lumber camps and uw mills. One ot the greatest assets we hive here In Nelson are the beautiful drives md viewi that tourists can come visiting us for md lt Is to be greatly regretted that no stepi have been taken to prevent the removal of tbe timber along the lakes, thui spoiling the leenic beauty. The Boards ot Trade of the Kootenayi in often very active ln locil concern! but this Is a point that has apparently been overlooked, though the people of Vancouver Island are protesting strongly to the Government about trees being removed from near the roads and I would suggest that the Nelson Board of Trade make every effort to prevent further disponing of our scenery. A KOOTENAIAN. Nelson, B. C. ' Youth Must First Prove Capability To the Editor of The Dally News: Sir—The third Provincial Youth Congresi that met in the city of Vancouver dissolved after making loud disclaimers of cherishing communistic aims and having made voluble claims of their attachment to the cause ot freedom of speech and freedom ot thought. The writer hopes he will not be thought unkind or unsympathetic If he polnti out to these •mbitious, well-meaning youthi thit unless they cm prove worthy successors to the men and women who are passing tt will not mitter in the smallest degree what they may think about anything whatsoever. For instance, a boy goei to work for a railway company at one of the divisional round houses. He will soon discover that nobody carei what he may think about traffic management, government ownenhlp of railways, etc. But they will appraise bis fitness tor his daily duties in double quick time and lt he falls to fit into the pattern he will find himself Jobless no mitter how theoretically correct hli attitude on world problems may be or how eloquently he may have addressed the Youths' Congress. Betore any youth cm change the pattern ot existing things he must tint prove hli ability to fit definitely Into some part of the pattern himielf. A would-be doctor of medicine must first acquire the reputable md recognized ideas on history, geography, etc., al taught in our high schools. Must then attend medical college a number of yean to learn- not what he thinks—but what other men think they know about medicine. Finally ■ board ot medical practitioners will submit him to a rigid examination to find out—not If he has ldeu of hli own—but rather to dis-. cover If iuch ideas u he happens to hive ire une ind reputable. • Tha greatest spectacle of tolly undir the sun li an Ignorant, ill-mannered youth of questionable habits—sitting up lite—rising it any hour—Indolent md careleu of duty- Imagining that any Ideas hi may cherish will hive uy power to remould or remodel the world. A Thii Is merely i hypothetical case. No reflection li Intended on the memben of the Youth Congress. As fir is my knowledge ot hli body gou they ire ill of exemplary char- icier. DIOGENES. Nelson, B.

Winding up a four-day leave ln London, they were In their hotel when • bomb exploded nearby, blew out their windows and Uttered the flbor with debris. The airmen prepared to move into the atreet shelter when a basket of incendiaries lit up the end ot the street and tl.ey pitched In as fire-fighters. Most of the fires were under control when a warden dashed up and asked for help. "The last one wiped out most of the rescue squad," he shouted. Scrambling over debris and between twisted girders and broken beams, the airmen tunnelled through precarious passages and crawled on hands and knees through the shambles. Finally Armstrong and Campbell reached a group ot badly wounded victims, placed them on stretchers and passed them to the open where doctors were waiting; Dawn broke before the Canucks left their work and new rescue squads took over, praising the sweating, grimy airmen for their night's Job. The first available train took them back to thet squadron and they appeared on the airdrome after roll call, a UtUe late. "It was quite a night, quite a night," said Cpl. Campbell, "we got out at least half a dozen of those smashed-up people." To the civilian workers' praise was added that of the squadron's officers and airmen. And the squadron newspaper, "Wings Abroad", devoted its weekly column, "Orchids to—" to the deeds of the two young men. ' Officials Appointed lo Investigate Seamen Hindering Ship Movements OTTAWA.

It U tht outcome of an interview between Henry Greenberg, erstwhile first-baseman of the Detroit Tigers and Bob Murphy, a Times staff writer just before he entered the Army. It carried the by-line: —"By Hank Greehberg—as told to Bob Murphy.") I'm in the Army now, or will be In I few hours. There U no reason to pull punches. Flnt, I'll itralghten out the many guesies on my 1941 salary contract with the Detroit ball club. I ilgned for $55,000. I would aUo like to straighten out another thing. Many stories have betn Written thit Owner Walter O- Brlggi paid my utary for the entire aeuon. Thii isn't true. I wu paid through Tuesday's hi" game. No more, no less. That U perfectly u lt ihould be. I have bargained for my lervicu with the Detroit ball club, and, perhapi, I was t hard bargainer. I always uked for what I thought I was worth. I tlwiyi got lt. . t At tht tnd of the 1939 seaion I wu asked to give up first-bue. Records ihowed I wu one of tht best first-buemen In either league. I was uked to go to the outfield.

I agreed. But I agreed to go only lt I got t 110,000 raise. I wu glvtn that riUt tnd I tven gavt the ball club the privilege of balling off the whole deal by Opening Day. On or before Opening Day I was to be told that the contract was on, or off. If I wasn't to be given the outfield lob, I had asked the privilege of going back either to play firtl- base, or at least fight for first- bue. I made good in tht outfield, and I wu given • raise over lut year's salary. I havi no quarrels at all with tht Detroit ball clubi Thty have been tine with me. I htvt made a lot of money ln a ihort time ih baseball, and I letve bueball well situated, financially. I've bten lucky enough also to make somt good investments. Taxes being what they art, I'm not crying about dropping from $55,000 to 121 a month. Tht public deserves -ome explanation on why I refused the extra day's reprieve from the Draft Board to play in tht flag-raising game. I'm refusing this grant, first, btctuit I never^sked for it Secondly, because the ball club never asked for it. But to be truthful, the main reason is because I don't trust a man named Floyd Smith. (Editor's Note: Smith U one of the three members of local Draft Board No, 23, which has Jurisdiction over Greenberg.) It is apparent to me he hu been, and still is, out to grab all the publicity for himself he can find. I'm going to be at the draft board headquarters on time. I'm not going to give any one chance to concoct any more stories about me and my requests. Despite the way I feel about Smith and his colleague, Ralph J. Norton, I have all the trust in the world for Mr. Ben O. Shepherd, chairman of my draft board. He hu been fair. He hun't tried to make selfish publicity gains at my expense. Even if the army physicians ihould find me unfit for service I don't believe I could play baseball again, soon. My spirit for tht game has been sapped during tht past few weeks and months. I feel I have been given more unjust raps than anyone ever deserved. I never knew Jack Dempsey Intimately. But I still hear people talk about how he wu a slacker. I have never had any intention! of dodging my sjuty. But u I go Into tht army I know that people everywhere have me painted u a man who didn't want to go. Nothing was ever more untrue. I get it everyWitrt. Through letters, telephone calls and personal contact . ,, There U Just one grand thing that silves all wounds. , When I think of all the friends I really have—I mean the honest- to-goodness kind—well, I know I'm lucky. One of the greatest presents I ever received came Irom the ground crew at Briggs Stadium on Tuesday. It wu a desk pen and pencil set I'll treasure that always. It came from the hearts of those fellows. Going to the army doesn't seem a bit tough when J think of the wty Lou Gehrig had to go out of baseball. And no grander, finer character ever lived. But I Just had a few things to say. Now that I've said them—well, I'll still be trying to bend over backwards in order to'make a good soldier and keep the confidence of all the friends who really believe In mt.

Budpath favored In King's Plate TORONTO, Miy 13 (CP).-Some- thing among horsemen which draws instinctive support of a good horse has made Harry Hatch's chestnut cold Budpath rated among those thoroughbreds most likely to.win the 82nd running of the King'i Plate here next Saturday. The sturdy three-year-old ion of Buddy Bauer, out of Luress had no startling record u a Juvenile. He broke hU maiden at Thorncliffe in the Spring over five furlongs, and won again ln his last start of the season, at Dufferln, that time over leven furlongs. In four other races, he had one second, one third,- tnd ran out of the money twice. His monty winnings of the year, $1650, and the more general aspects of his record are not so imprusive as those of the Parkwood Stables Warrigan, or Harry Giddings'. Undisturbed. But when the boys who most patronize tht pari-mutuel windows are looking for angles, they find one most definite in Budpath's second victory of 1940. For he won that seven-furlong event driving, poening with every beat of his king legs the 10-length gap between him and J. E. F. Seagram's Taffarail, another Plate candidate.

Bea, President of the New York Curb Exchange, today advanced a tentative plan to bring business back to New York's second largest securlUes market which. along with the "Big Board", haa lately been suffering a decline of transactions. Tbe over-the-counter dealer mar. ket has been taking much business from both lUted exchanges because of the wide ipread between buyers' and sellers' prices in the organized markets. Rea'i idea contemplates, especially for stoeki where pricei of buyeri and sellers are far apart on the trading floor, a method by which these wishing to offer for tale may cauie to be printed on the stock tape an offering price lesa a concession to dealers throughout the country. Thus by giving to non-member dealers an extra profit,,Rea believes he can encourage them to find buyers. Similarly, dealers, seeing a stock they feel cheap, could offer to buy, lees a concession for their efforts. ThU, said Rea, would give them an incentive to find takers, Curh Exchange authorities think the plan would channel much former dealer business back to the trading floor by giving additional Income both to the dealer and to the exchange member.
