PART TWO THE BLEACHERITE By Edgar Fames THE world series proved that to get on top these days you must not only hitch your wagon to a star, but must be sure the so-andso can get up and go when it's expedient. It was heralded as a pitchers' series, but only White and Beazof the Cardinals took the pregame talk seriously. The other twirlers were all taken for a ride by the hitters, although of them were brilliant at times. Couldn't Take It A baseball game still lasts nine innings, begging weatherman's pardon, and of them those lost effectiveness somewhere in the stretch.

While we're in the mood, what Moore could anyone want in center field than Terry? There once was a Moore, who was bent, On shining afield, so he went, Not as one, but a. dozen, I'm you, cousin, He the ground like a tent. Some of the experts thought the Birds were just out there to go through a the motions, in the take a pasting in as good grace National League a tradition and and as few days as possible. However, the Cards were in a double-crossing mood. They went through unexpected motions and rode the gravy train to a quick and convincing victory.

As a matter of fact, this ghost of greater Yankee teams was only a bit' short of the class and devastating punch needed to remain at the top of the heap. Unraveling? Their run totals of 7-3-0-6-2 The team is were not bad baduforderienrolax: the middle but is getting frayed around the edges. How will the Yankees find repose winter cold and dreary, When they can't rest on laurels? And brother -Are they weary? The impetuous Redbirds weren't satisfied with following destiny's star. Their phenomenal speed carried them' well ahead of it. This team wasn't supposed to arrive for several years -but the youngsters refused to believe it.

The series provides Branch Rickey with some fine arguments in dickering for new job and much as we hate to admit that ball games are ever won in front offices it seems that Branch is at times cooking with gas when he appears to be using nothing but hot air. Brooklyn can laugh again and sing, "Dat's de best we ever hoid, De knock-down, drag-out Yankee king, Detroned by a liddle boid." 'An Original Guy Southworth proved that when It comes to baseball art he doesn't always recognize the old masters but thinks for himself. At times he seemed to outguess McCarthy who was satisfied to play an orthodox Yankee game. Evidently not knowing that the Cardinals have added something to the national pastime. They've taken a little jive and Jitterbug and turned it loose on the diamond.

While this at times makes them seem awkward and overanxious, it keeps them a jump ahead of the horsehide as they cut around the sacks. Like birds of a feather, They flocked together To cop the National's pennant, And went on to lick, In his own bailiwick, The champ-and move in as tenant. In the first game the Cards looked like the bloomer girls from the Notsohot Female A Academy, but later they proved their right to wear regulation baseball pants. And the best the world can provide, at that. Yer Out! In retrospect it appears that the series hinged on a fine appleknocker who took the opportunity offered by the big games to swing like a rusty gate.

Just another guy named Joe Gordon of the Yankees. It's easier to pick the goat than the hero. The fair boy is among the following, but the choice is entirely up to you, al-. though we must admit that Walker Cooper looked like the finest catcher in the business during the crucial tests: Musial, Kurowski, Brown, Marion, Hopp, Slaughter, Moore, Beazley, White, Lanier, W. Cooper or S.

Breadon. The series proved without a doubt An adage not so often true: The fellow who's down is never out If he has the will to carry through. Fire Victim Dies Mrs. Helen Conway, 45, who was forced to flee in her night clothing September 28 when fire destroyed a tavern three miles west of Belleville, where she was employed, died yesterday at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Belleville of pneumonia.

PEORIA, October Seeds of good will and understanding that will reap a harvest of closer unity co-operation among Catholic and non- Catholic faiths were sown today by Bishop Schlarman, host to the twentieth annual meeting of the National Catholic Rural Conference in session here. The movement to bring a closer unity among churches and to break down the barriers of isolationism, which has been struggling for a foothold in war-torn European countries, was born in America in a small Midwestern town.

Protestants, Jews and Catholic rural leaders broke bread together at a luncheon while. they discussed ways to abolish the nation's war headache, the agrarian problem. There were 28 different denominations represented, with Methodist, Presbyterian, Disciples of Christ and Lutherans as the predominant faiths. Some came from as far away as Boston, while others came from as far south as Alabama. ROUND-TABLE GROUPS It was an unusual sight to see high dignitaries and church leadlose themselves in roundtable groups of 10, and it was interesting to listen to bits of conversation as they compared notes on the farm labor shortage, the migrant farmer and price stabilization.

The only time the lulled was when Msgr. a run for Yanks or CardiWilliam T. Mulloy, would announce nals. This would be followed by of cheers that would do wehurst a college fraternity yell. At this writer's table sat Dr.

Clifford L. Samelson, youthful Episcopalian minister, representing the departments of domestic missions a Council of Episcopal Churches; W. H. Thompson, Baptist, director of ruOhio Council of Churches and religious educator; J. Schmidt, of Ohio Farmers Institutes; Calvin Schmucker, Dutch Reformed Church, treasurer of Christian Rural Fellowship, Dubuque; O.

F. Hall, Methodist, professor of rural sociology at Purdue University; Bishop J. H. Peschges, Catholic, of Crookston, and Rev. James Myers, industrial secretary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America.

Near by sat Dr. Mark Rich, American Baptist Home Mission Society, New York; Dr. A. J. Walton, board missions and church extension of the Methodist Church, of New York; Dr.

Harvey D. Hoove, Lutheran Theological Seminary, Gettysburg, Dr. J. C. K.

Preus, chairman American Lutheran Conference on higher education, Minneapolis; H. S. Randolph, secretary board of national missions of the Presbyterian Church, New York, and Msgr. Luigi Ligutti, who arranged the luncheon and introduced the guests, many of them his personal friends through rural life work. In the words of David Grayson, "This day was a day of pleasant bread" for Msgr.

Ligutti. MANPOWER PROBLEM American people are being "lulled to sleep by this year's huge farm production," Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard told the assembly at a morning session. "Preparations for this year's unusual harvest took place more than three years ago, long before Pearl Harbor, and is not the outcome of the present war effort, and, don't forget," he continued, "weather such as we had this year will not occur every year." Warning the assembly that the shortage of manpower on the farms is threatening the war effort of the nation, he went on to say that lack of manpower will bring about a collapse in farm production. "This is going to be a long, hard war.

A lot of hard working sacrifices are ahead for the small individual farmer. American farmers must produce more than at any time in our history and must do it in the face of growing shortages of farm labor, machinery and materials. "This year's shortages of farm labor are nothing compared to those we shall encounter in future. We are faced right now with the necessity for vigorous action to make the best use of the agricultural manpower which does re- main." FARMS MAY LIE IDLE He predicted that if the conscription of farmers, farm manager and laborers is not halted, the agricultural farmer is going to have to get along with labor that is left and this is labor that nobody else wants. "Already in scattered areas families are offering their farms for sale, breaking up dairy and livestock herds," he said.

"These herds are being slaughtered and will take at least three years to replace. Many farmers in late middle life and beyond find it impossible to go on farming, with their sons in the service or in munition factories, and hired labor increasingly scarce. Younger farmers on small or unproductive farms are moving their whole families to the cities where they can make better livings. "Today there is a danger that some large rich Middle Western farms may lie idle next year through lack of someone to work them, while farm families in the Appalachians are living in poverty Unity Asked in Inflation Fight Support Pledged Byrnes by Industry, Labor and Farmers By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, October With a call for unity in the fight against inflation, James F.

Byrnes took over the post of Economic Stabilization Director today amid pledges of support from leaders of labor, industry and agriculture generally. Still awaited are OPA action to control the price of live stock, grains and other farm commodities and Byrnes' directives, presumably through the War Labor Board, for enforcement of wage and salary stabilization which the act and President Roosevelt's order directed. MOVES HIS OFFICE Byrnes, who had resigned from the Supreme Court Saturday, moved out of his office there during the forenoon took over his new desk in the "left wing," as he called it, of the White House. His activities there for the rest of the day were not made public, but it was presumed that he would confer with officials of the OPA, the WLB and other government agencies and put the whole stabilizamachinery into high gear as speedily as possible. In moving from the court Byrnes spoke briefly for the newsreels, saying: "At the request of the President I have accepted the appointment as Economic Stabilization Director.

Residential Rents Put at March 1 Level By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, October Price Administrator Leon Henderson signed a blanket order today directing that residential rents be reduced to the levels of March 1, 1942, in every part of the United States where rent control procedure had not already been in effecte The order created 45 new defense rental areas, one for each state in the Union except Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware -states which previously had been designated in their entirety. Within each of the 45 states the new designation covers all territory, rural and urban, which had not previously been set aside as a defense rental area. The designation as defense. rental area makes it incumbent on state and local authorities to see that rents of all dwelling units are cut back to the prescribed level within 60 days, after which period federal control and enforcement may be instituted.

Henderson announced that such action would be taken in line with President Roosevelt's order directing the stabilization of wages, salaries, profits and rents. 32 Sentenced in Pro-Japanese Plot By Associated Press. CHICAGO, October Negroes, members of Temple Islam, which the Thirty government described as a nationwide pro-Japanese group, were sentenced to prison terms by Federal Judge John P. Barnes today for violating the selective service act. Emanuel Mohammed, son of a leader of the temple, was sentenced to five years and the other 31 defendants to there years each.

They pleaded guilty. The cases of six who pleaded innocent were continued to October 12. Mohammed was described by John Kieley, Assistant District Attorney, as 'a defiant defendant and a blood brother of the Japanese." Mohammed denied he had anything to do with the Japanese. At the time of their indictment September 30, J. Albert Woll, District Attorney, said the organization taught that the Negro race was the first race and that the Japanese were descended from it.

"A large number of these Moslems have stated that they hope Japan wins the war because it will be better for the Negroes." Woll said. because they have not enough land to work. "As a war emergency measure we must help those families get off crowded marginal land onto land where their work will go for many times as much. We must get them on good land as tenants, or when possible through tennant-purchase, as owners." Concluding session of the convention featuring an all women's program will be held tomorrow.

Metcalfe, formerly agent in charge of the NaziFascist investigation of the Dies Committee, at the denaturalization hearing of Hubert Meesen, 41- year-old German-born insurance salesman, in Federal Court.

Called as a surprise witness in the case, Metcalfe, a Chicago newspaper men, who gained considerable prominence a few years ago through his exposure of Bund activities, testified he was sent here in August, 1937, by Fritz Kuhn, erstwhile Bund leader now in prison, to help organize a local Bund unit. Metcalf said he had joined the Bund in the spring of 1937 and wormed himself into a position of confidence by taking an active part in Bund activities in New ork. GIVEN BODYGUARDS Upon arrival in St. Louis, he said, he was met at his hotel by Chester Hufnagel and Tony Frederich, who identified themselves as storm troopers and said they had been assigned as bodyguards. Metcalfe said he understood Hufnagel and Frederich were later interned as dangerous enemy aliens.

The night of his arrival, he continued, he was taken to the home of Dr. Edward F. Koll, where an executive meeting of the St. Louis Bund unit took place. Anton "Tony" Kessler, notorious St.

Louis Bundist, who has returned to Germany, was present and took a leading part in the meeting, the witness said. on a nation-wide tour and before leaving New York he copied from a secret ledger furnished by Kuhn the names of leading Bundists throughout the country whom he was included, he added. to contact. Kessler's name a At Koll home, he continued, he noticed two autographed beer coasters or pads on a table bearing the names Carl Biebers San Antonio, and Dr. Norbert Zimmer.

The latter, a Nazi agent secretly organizing local bund units throughout the country, and the former, who was sent to Texas to establish bund posts, had met in St. Louis en route to New York, Metcalfe said. ASKED TO AID INQUIRY "Kessler told me the local bundists had been having considerable difficulty with Communist elements," Metcalfe testified, "and asked me to make an investigation." He said he went to the Vanguard Bookshop in the 3500 block of Franklin avenue, the next day and picked up some "Communist propaganda material." When he joined the bund, 'he said, he was told by the leaders to pay no attention to the published aims of the bund; that the real aim was "to set up a dictatorship in this country, by force if necessary, modeled along Nazi lines." "They made it clear we- were really Germans and were American citizens only by convenience," he declared.
