In a perfect Indian summer setting, the world champion St Lduls Cardinals) met the New York Yankees today before what prom ised to be a record crowd In the opening of baseball's second war' time world series. Manager Joe McCarthy nomi nated his ace pitcher, Spurgeon (Spud) Chandler, in an attempt to send the American League pennant winners off to a winning start against the speed boys from the west who upset the dope last year to dethrone them as champions. Max Lanier, southpaw ace of the Cardinal staff, was Manager Billy (The Kid) Southworth's choice to keep the Cardinal world series streak of four world series victor ies intact.

Running the bases like wild horses, the Cards won four In a row last year after dropping the open er and South worth was confident that the same speed, plus added power at the plate, would carry his youngsters to the title again McCarthy was just as confident that his club, with a pitching staff that was rated superior because of Its greater experience, would gain revenge for last year's humiliation. The Yanks, who rated 6 to 5 favorites to win the series and slight ly better to take the opening game behind the 20 game winner Chand ler, took the field first for batting practice. The 25,000 unreserved seats, which went on sale this morning, were gone in less than two hours and when the white clad Yankees came' out to take their practice swings the SRO sign already had been posted. The lucky 14,000 late comers In the grandstand and the additional 14,000 In the bleachers sent up a roar as the men of McCarthy dashed out on the field. Stan Muslal, Cardinal outfielder who won the major league batting crown this year, was up there swinging from his heels.

No Trade In Is Necessary To Secure New Car Washington, Oct 5. The Office of Price Administration acted to halt discriminatory practices by new car dealers and assure eligible purchasers a "first come, first served" chance to get an automobile.

It outlawed the prevalent prac tice Dy wnicn dealers require a trade In by a prospective eligible purchaser. It was a major step to ward counteracting the extreme high prices now prevailing on the used automobile market A regulation which reportedly would estab lish ceiling prices on used cars is still "in the works," OPA spokesman said. Dealers now are realizing such vast profits from used car sales, it is reported, that they are reluctant to sell new cars because any such additional sales would only tend to put them in higher Income tax brackets. Under the new price and ration lng regulation, effective Oct t. dealers are not only prohibited from requiring a trade in, but are ordered to sell cars to any financially qualified certificate holder.

By RICHARD D.

McMDUjAN (United Press Staff Correspondent) Allied Headquarters, Algiers, Oct 5. Four to five German divisions (perhaps 60,000 to 75,000 men) stiffened their resistance on the Italian front today after new American gains of six to eight miles and the first Allied air attack on occupied Greece from newly won bases in Italy. An official announcement of the mounting German opposition fol lowed the disclosure that United States troops slicing into the Nazi flank above Naples had captured the Montesarchia road junction and Northwest African Air Forces had intensified their part in the ex panded Mediterranean campaign. The strengthened Nazi resistance was noted particularly in the coastal sectors, where the Germans struggled desperately to anchor their wavering line across the peninsula. On the west coast the Fifth Army was hammering at the Ger man barriers above Naples, while along the Adriatic the British Eighth Army beat off counterattacks at Termoli and moved in reinforcements.

The estimate of four to five Ger man divisions in action was the first Indication of. the number of men the Nazis have massed against the Allied march on Rome. An intensified bombing campaign paced by Flying Fortresses, Liberators and Mitchells wrecked a key bridge at Bolzano, below the Bren ner Pass bottleneck between Ger many and Italy, and devastated German airdromes near Athens and in southern Greece. Other air fleets hammered at battered Nazi transport lines con verging on Rome as It became evi dent that Gen, Dwight D. Elsen hower's tactics of squeezing the enemy from south and east was giving the Nazis plenty of trouble, I The Montesarchlo road Junction, 28 miles northeast of Naples, put a new strain on the exposed Ger man flank and threatened enemy forces above Naples with encircle ment The trail blazing of what is ex pected to become a well traveled shuttle route across the Adrlatla from Italy to the Balkans was by American Mitchell medium bomb ers which attacked the Argos air field near Sparta, In south Greece.

At the same time Liberator heavy weights, likewise in their first bombing of Greece from the north west African theater, raided the Menldl air field north of Athene, The Allies, meanwhile, completing the conquest of Corsica, overriding the last German opposi tion in the big island base within easy striking distance of northern Italy and south France. (The Berlin radio said the evacu ation of Corsica had been com pleted after, the destruction of all militarily Important installations.) Lieut. Gen. Mark W. Clark sent the right wing of hie Fifth Army forward six to eight miles in the hilly fastenesses above Naples.

One unit of Amercans seized Montesar chlo, highway junction eight miles southwest of captured Benevento and 28 miles northeast of Naples. The sharp advance eliminated a deep salient southwest of Benevento. From Montesarchlo a branch road leads to Rome, and Allied pos session of the town was expected to Impede the German retreat On the Adriatic coast the British Eighth Army beat off German counterattacks at Termoli, won 24 hours earlier by a landing from the sea and strengthened their hold on the communications Junction directly east of Rome. With the Allies definitely holding the Initiative aground, the Northwest African Adr Forces swarmed back in strength to give the Italian campaign new Impetus and expand their field of operations to Greece. The most telling blow was struck at Bolzano, the north Italy com munications hub 30 miles below Brenner Pass.

There Flying Fortresses planted their heavy loads of bombs squarely on a bridge over the Isarco River which runs through Bolzano, destroying it and disrupting communications vital to the Nazi feeder line Into Italy. Railway yards along the trunk line through Brenner also were targets of the Fortresses at Bolzano, which they were raiding for the third time. Another fleet of Fortresses attacked Pisa, city of the famous leaning tower, in northwest Italy. American Liberators and Mitchell medium bombers flew diagonally across the Mediterranean to bomb Victory Sales Tax Is Urged Washington, Oct. 5.

M. L. Seld man, chairman of the taxation committee of the New York Board of Trade, today urged Congress to enact a $6,000,000,000 10 per cent victory sales tax, with no exemp tions as a substitute for the Treas ury's tax program. He appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee in its second day of hearings on the new general revenue bill An administration tax program, calling for $10,560,000,000 additional internal revenue next year through increased Individual and corporation income taxes, gift and estate taxes and excise levies, ap peared to be doomed The program, along with recommendations for $5,300,000,000 additional social security taxes, was presented to the committee by Secretary of Treas ury Henry Morgenthau, yes. terday.

It was given a Sold recep tlon. Committee Chairman Robert L. Doughton, N. described It as too burdensome upon already heavily burdened taxpayers. Economic Stabilization Director Fred M.

Vinson, originally scheduled to testify today In support of the administration's program, will not be heard until tomorrow. Seldman told the committee his proposal would apply to everybody. The Treasury did not recommend a general sales tax. He opposed any increase; in the rate of tax withholding from wages and salaries on the grounds that it would stimulate wage Increase de mands and add to the danger of rurther inflation. Seldman urged avoidance of an excess profits tax on individuals and any increase in corporate income and excess profits taxes.

congressmen, too, were critical of the administration plan. Allied Airman Was Beheaded By Japanese Allied Headquarters, southwest Pacific, Oct 6. The beheading of an Allied, flier captured by the Japanese in New Guinea last was revealed today in a diary found on the body of an enemy soldier in the ruins of Salamaua. The story of the atrocity, the first known instance of an Allied prison er of war to be executed in the Southwest Pacific, was written by a soldier who witnessed with faint pity the unknown airman's death at the hands of a Japanese swordsman. i He described the victim as a captain or flight lieutenant in the Air Transport Corps, one of two members of the crew of a Douglas plane shot down near Salamaua on March 18.

i Authorities would not permit identification of the flier as American or Australian. The entire Japanese garrison at Salamaua assembled to watch their commander wield the Samurai sword on the 23 year old flier, bound and surrounded by the fixed bayonet of enemy guards.

Radio Repairs Stroh's Repair Shop By HENRY SHAPIRO (United Press Staff Correspondent) Moscow, Oct 5.

Soviet mechanized forces broke stubborn enemy counter attacks and expanded their bridgeheads on the Pronya River's west bank 2 5 miles east of the key White Russian stronghold of Mogi lev today, but the Rus sian summer offensive appeared io be nearing an end. Only limited gains had been re' ported from the White Russian front during the past 24 hours, and farther south the Soviets appar ently had halted temporarily at the Nazi Dnieper defense Hue to mass strength for a new push. (The Moscow radio said the mop up of the east bank of the Dnieper from Dniepropetrovsk to the river's confluence with the Sozh 85 miles north of Chernigov had been com pleted, and no Germans remained in that area.) Autumn rains stiffened enemy resistance and difficult terrain combined to slow the Red army's advance toward Mogilev and the companion strongholds of Gomel, to the south, and Vitebsk, to the north. Ahead lay swamps, hills and numerous water courses. Though inclement weather reduced their air support the Rus sians lay down such an accurate artillery barrage, the newspaper Izvestla asserted, that the German high command ordered Nazi units to abandon the use of fixed artillery and mortar fire In favor of mobile guns mounted on trucks.

Nazi field commanders also were ordered to change the firing posi tlons of Infantry frequently so as to reduce losses, Izvestia said. Taking advantage of torrential rains which turned the roadless terrain into a quagmire that all but halted Russian mobile forces, massed German troops ana tanks counter attacked all along the 200 mile White Russian front. The Soviet high command said the Germans were striving at all cost to hold their winter line an chored on Gomel, Mogilev, Orsha and Vitebsk, barring the approaches to the Polish border and the Baltic states. Three thousand Germans died in the seven futile counter attacks be fore Gomel. In a neighboring sec tor, Russian tommy gunners forced a river possibly the Sozh and routed the enemy in a flanking maneuver that cleared the way for a crossing in force.

I Russian forces on the Mogilev front broke enemy resistance In one sector and captured several strong, holds, killing more than 400 Ger mans, destroying 20 guns ana cap turlnr prisoners and booty, while their comrades before Vitebsk seized three villages and killed more than 300 of the enemy. Red armies had advanced 200 to 250 miles to the west in the three months since they began their sum mer offensive near Kursk. Below White Russia, they had come to a halt along the middle and lower reaches of the Dnieper, presumably to gather strength for a lunge across the river.

By WALTER CBONKHTB (Unled Preea Staff Correspondent) London, Oct 6. British four engined bombers, rounding out 100 hours of the heaviest aerial offensive of the war, sent another 1,000 tons of bombs crashing down on Frankfurt last night while the German arsenal city still blazed from an American raid 'only 12 hours earlier. Other British night bombers struck simultaneously at the Inland port and war production center of Ludwlgshafen and Northwest Germany to boost the tonnage of Anglo American bombs dropped on the Reich In 10 major raids in the past four days to perhaps 7,000, by far. the heaviest weight of explosives ever unloaded in1 a similar period. A force made up entirely of four englned Lancaster raided Ludwlgshafen, dropping upwards of 500 tons, while twin engined Mosquitoes scattered bombs over Northwest Germany.

Only 12 bombers were lost In all raids last night The big force of British night raiders that hit Frankfurt was guided by fires kindled by hundreds of tons of American bombs yesterday afternoon. New fires were started and the whole city appeared to be wreathed, in flames by the time the last bomber left. Although there was no announcement of the size of last night's Frankfurt assault observers on the Southeast angland coast parted that the bombers took more than an hour to pass overhead shortly alter aark last night. The procession also was heard passing over London. The German DNB news agency, admitting a "heavy" attack, said at least S8 Allied aircraft were destroyed yesterday and last night.

DNB said 150 children were burled when bombs struck a hospital at Frankfurt. It also reported damage to residential quarters, public buildings and two other hospitals. A large Inland river port, Frankfurt has a population of 500,000 and Is the site of several aircraft factories, as well as plants turning out machinery, rolling stock, electrical apparatus and chemicals. Last night's raid was the S7th of the war on Frankfurt. No details of the attacks on Ludwlgshafen or Northwest Germany were announced, but they were believed to have been diversionary assaults designed to draw off German night fighters from the main attack on Frankfurt, 50 miles northeast of Ludwlgshafen.

German bombers again Retaliated weakly last night by scattering bombs over Eastern and Southern England, causing no casualties and only slight damage. During yesterday's operations, which the U. S. Army described as "one of the war's most sensational series of aerial battles," Allied planes shot down OS enemy fighters against a loss of 15 heavy oomoers. Allied fighter losses, if any, were not announced.

Large enemy fighter forces dogged the Flying Fortress formations which struck at Frankfurt and simultaneously at an enemy airfield at St Dlzier, France, while Liberators which carried out diversionary operations Over the North Sea were attacked repeatedly by Focke Wulfs. 1 Over St Dlzier. Fortress gunners encountered fighters equipped with rocket catapults, while the fighters which attacked the Liberator over the North Sea dove repeatedly through the formation, one ramming headon Into a Liberator and both planes crashing Into the sea. i Apples From Five Counties Of Penn.
