Bill Wunder Awaits Call to Armed Service

When Tackle Bill Wunder gets his orders as to where to report for duty, every one of the seniors on the 1941 University of Miami football team will be in service. Wunder, by the way, was one of the last players to report for practice last fall because he expected to be inducted into the service immediately, but he was given a deferrment to finish his school year.

Ponce Nine Wallops All Comers; Jackson and Homestead Victims

Mr. John C. Gramley's Gentlemen, the expert Ponce Baseball Nine, has been going places of late; in fact, they're so good that Miami High has gone to the trouble to call off its game with the dynamic lads from Ponce. After getting off to a bad start, the Cavaliers have come through to win their last five games. The comeback campaign all started with the downing of Miami Edison's Red Raiders two weeks ago by a score of 6-3. Andrew Jackson was beaten twice, and Miami High canceled their game with Ponce. The latest victories were the twin triumphs over the Homestead Growers. The latest game with Jackson, played on May 1st, ended nine on top, 12-5. Howard Rand started for Ponce, but was relieved in the first by Bill Byrd, who was in turn relieved in the fourth by Bob Daniels. Tuesday of last week, the Cavaliers met the Homestead Growers, a veteran team, for the first time this season, and downed the downstate boys 5-2. The game was featured by the hot pitching of Bob Daniels, who struck out eight men in five innings. Huguelet and Hardeman hit circuit blows for Ponce in the eighth with no one on either time. Two days later, on Thursday, the Ponce nine went down to Homestead to play the second game of their series on the Homestead diamond. But playing on the home field didn't seem to help the Growers much, as Ponce broke loose in the first inning to score four big runs. Homestead came back in their half of the first frame to score two runs and another in the last half of the second. Ponce scored two more in the third and the scoring for the day was over, Ponce coming out on top, 6-3. Ty Vickers hit the first triple of the season for Ponce, an odd fact considering the number of home runs that have been knocked in almost every game by the Cavaliers. Top hitter for the Ponce nine for the 1942 season has been Doug Gahr, who has gotten 10 hits in 21 times at the plate for a season average of .476. Next is Henry MacDonald, who has 7 bingles in 15 times at bat for .467. In third place for batting honors is Bill Byrd, with a percentage of .307.

High School Grads Offered Navy Posts

A new plan of recruiting under which high school graduates may qualify to become aviation officers with the rank of ensign in the U. S. Naval Reserve, or second lieutenant in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve, has been approved by the Navy Department. Marking the first time the Navy has offered young men with only a secondary education the opportunity to apply for flight training leading to commissioned officer status. Recruiting was begun in every section of the United States April 27. Candidates between their eighteenth and twenty-seventh birthdays who have graduated from high school may apply. In the Seventh Naval District, they should apply to the Office of Naval Office Procurement, 905 Langford Building, Miami. Recruiting officials said the new plan will NOT interfere in any way with the Class V-1 program, under which college students may enlist now to become aviation, deck or engineering officers and continue their education, at least until the end of the second calendar year. Both the recruiting and training of the candidates will be carried out under Class V-5, heretofore limited to men with not less than two years' college credits. "The Navy needs men to fly the finest, the fastest, the most powerful warplanes in the world—the Navy planes that strike first, strike hardest wherever the foe is found," a Navy Department spokesman said. "The Navy needs them urgently—now—today. It wants men of officer calibre; men who are physically fit and mentally alert; men trained to act, to command, to be leaders." "Here's a challenge to every young American of courage and daring who is looking to fight for his country! A challenge to every man who is itching to see action against the enemy in the air—in America's first line of attack! It's youth's first opportunity to be commissioned as flying officers of the Navy." Qualified candidates are to be sent to one of the new aviation induction centers—located at the Universities of Iowa, Georgia, North Carolina and at St. Mary's College, California—for three to four months of training devoted primarily to toughening them for their place in the Navy. Following this will come three months of primary flight training at a Naval Reserve Station Base. Successfully completing this second phase of their Navy education, the candidates will be sent on to the great Naval Air Stations at either Pensacola, Florida, or Corpus Christi, Texas, for approximately three months advanced flight training. Commissions as ensigns in the U. S. Naval Reserve or second lieutenants in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve await the candidates who successfully complete the course and win their "Navy Wings of Gold." Throughout the entire training period candidates will be paid in accordance with their ratings. Aviation Cadets are paid $75 a month, plus subsistence and uniforms. Upon completion of training and appointment as ensigns in the U. S. Naval Reserve or second lieutenants in the U. S. Marine Corps, they will receive $205 a month, plus allowances.

This Week in the War . .

Price Administrator Henderson issued a general price regulation, placing rigid government controls over retail and wholesale prices for the duration of the war. Beginning May 11, manufacturer and wholesale prices may not exceed highest March, 1924, levels charged by each seller during March. Beginning July 1, no one may charge more for services sold at retail in connection with a commodity than he charged during March. All retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers and sellers of services must preserve for pricing purposes existing records they made during March. Every retail store as of May 18 must display publicly the ceiling prices for "cost-of-living" commodities. Agricultural commodities are excluded from the order. Various other items which do not conform with the price control act's definition of a "commodity" are exempt also. In addition, Mr. Henderson issued orders for rent stabilization in 30 areas of 46 states and Puerto Rico, housing more than 76 million persons. Four-fifths of the rents will be frozen as of March 1, 1942. The remainder were ordered cut back to early 1941 levels. President Roosevelt said the cost of living has advanced about 15 per cent since the autumn of 1939, and "we must now act to keep it from soaring another 80 per cent or 90 per cent during the next year or two—to hold it to somewhere near the present level." The President said, "The only effective course of action is a simultaneous attack on all of the factors which increase the cost of living . . . prices, profits, wages, taxes and debts." * * * RATIONING — The Office of Price Administration said five different gasoline ration cards will be distributed during registration in 17 eastern states and the District of Columbia May 12-14. One card will be for non-essential users and the other four will designate varying degrees of essential users. Commercial and government users of gasoline will be exempt from the card rationing plan, OPA said, and such vehicles need not be registered if they are plainly marked. The OPA announced appointment of 60 specialists to OPA offices throughout the country to serve as technical aides in handling problems arising from the sugar rationing program. Motor vehicles in essential services may not have new tires if recapped ones will serve their purpose, the agency said. New and used typewriters are not under quota restrictions but are available to eligibles who can establish their need for them, OPA reported. * * * WAR STRATEGY—The President, in a radio address, said American warships are in combat in the Arctic, Mediterranean, and in the North and South Pacific. American troops are at stations in South America, Greenland, Iceland, the British Isles, the Middle East, and the Far East, the continent of Australia and many islands of the Pacific. American planes manned by Americans are flying in actual combat over all the oceans and all the continents, he said, and flying fortresses will soon be fighting for the liberation of Europe. Australia, New Zealand and much other territory will be bases for offensive action, the President said, and the U. S. is determined that the territory which has been lost will be regained. * * * THE WAR FRONT — Admiral William Stark, commanding U. S. Naval forces in European waters, said the submarine menace off the U. S. Atlantic Coast is being beaten. General MacArthur's headquarters in Australia reported a six-day aerial offensive by United Nations bombers against Japanese bases north of Australia destroyed more than 50 enemy planes, sank one transport and inflicted heavy damage on enemy ground installations. Air raid alarms on Corregidor Island passed the 250 mark, but the attacks began to lessen in intensity. U. S. gunners in the Manila Bay forts shot down five bombers and damaged two others, sank an armed Japanese vessel and scored hits on troops and truck columns and supply dumps. * * * ARMY AND SELECTIVE SERVICE—The War Department established an eastern military area, including all of the Atlantic seaboard. Secretary Stimson said no mass evacuations of citizens are contemplated, but vital areas will be policed to prevent potentially dangerous persons from entering them. The Army announced establishment of "port agencies" in principal U. S. seaports to co-ordinate and speed shipment of war supplies to all United Nations. American prisoners of war in the Far East whose names have appeared on official lists of the Provost Marshal General may be sent postage free, the Red Cross said. College students enrolling in advanced ROTC courses will be required to enlist in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps if they have reached the age of 18, the War Department said. The department reported 327 Negroes are now enrolled in officer candidate schools. Selective Service Director Hershey said men who registered last February 16 will be included in June calls of every SS local board. NAVY—The Marine Corps announced its maximum enlistment age is now 33 instead of 30, and height requirements range from 65 to 74 inches instead of 64 to 74. The first submarine completed in the Great Lakes was launched at Manitowoc, Wisc. The Navy Department reported Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard casualties from December 7 to April 15 totaled 6,393, including 2,991 dead. * * * PRODUCTION AND CONVERSION—WPB Chairman Eastman Nelson said although the U. S. is "over the hump" in war production and United Nations output exceeds that of the Axis by a considerable margin, the real production war has just begun because of the huge need of the Axis, More than 1,000,-000 men and women are working in war plants where joint labor - management production drive committees have been set up, he said. The War and Navy Departments announced jointly the establishment of a price adjustment board in each department to review financial set-ups of war contractors whenever there is reason to believe excess profits are being made. * * * WAR LABOR SUPPLY—President Roosevelt said plans to register women for war work have been abandoned for the present because there are more women workers now who want jobs than there are jobs available. He said any woman wanting to get into war work may register at a U. S. Employment Service Office. War Manpower Chairman McNutt said the number of persons employed in war work by the end of 1942 may reach 17,500,000, compared with 1,500,000 at the beginning of 1941. He said 4 million or more additional women will be employed in war industries this year. Mr. McNutt issued directives to the 1,500 employment service offices in regard to the placement of women and of men over 50. * * * WAR BONDS AND STAMPS—The President told his press conference he hoped people would buy War Bonds and stamps out of current earnings rather than from cash reserves. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau said investments of employees in every operating plant the payroll savings plan must be raised at once to a minimum of 10 per cent of the gross payroll. He said the number of employees purchasing bonds regularly must be doubled, and average purchases raised from $7.50 to $20 per month. * * * TRANSPORTATION — Transportation Director Eastman asked the 48 governors and the mayors of all cities of 10,000 population or more to institute systematic staggering of business, school and working hours, group riding in private cars and improved regulation of local traffic to increase efficiency of existing passenger movement and mass transportation. President Roosevelt asked departmental and agency heads to draw up a transportation program for employees that will "substantially reduce" the number of cars necessary to take men and women to and from work. He asked that similar program be planned by state and local governments.
