WASHINGTON. Feb. it, C»?) 4-
t Congress has before R today a
justice department inofficial se-
crets bill" which would 'substi-
tute dlaw-tooth penalties of fine
and imprisonment fbf the pres-
ent system of voluntary censor-
ship established by President
Roosevelt.
Th» bill was.drafted merely to
provide a penalty for the copy-
ing of names from civil service
commission personnel records for
use as a commercial mailing list.
But it is so, loosely worded as .to
cover practically everything per-
taining to a government office.
The hill is not limited to ih-
foration of aid to an enemy. If
literally const rued, a -newspaper
reporter probably could be in-
dited, tried and punished se-
verely for publishing a confiden-
tial memorandum which proved
a government official to be guil-
ty of moral turpitude.
The bill, \yould enable cabinet
officers- and agency Jieads to
suppress—for a time at least—
or to demand punishment for
publication of anything at all ;
pertaining to their offices which
they .decided to label “secret or
confidential.” •
Attorney General Francis Bid-
dle proposed the bill to congress
and Chairman. Frederick , Van
''Nuys, D., Ind„ of the senate ju-
diciary committee introduced it,
justice department spokesmen
denied emphatically that it was
a censorship measure at ail. But
Van Nuys was in no doubt about
it and said it was, *

dently knew nothing about the

NEW YORK, Feb 19 CP)- The
full flowering of what is com-
monly called, complete and utter
futility may be noted today. The
Philadelphia Athletics have dew
parted for the far reaches of the
Golden West to prepare for the;
rigorous battle 'they may be ex-
pected to wage for undisputed
possession of the American league
cellar.
This 1942 departure is unusually
sad. In previous years it has been
the custom of Connie Mack to
voice a few innocent optimisms
while he hustled the boys aboard
their train and kept an eye cocked
—on any straggler who might at-
tempt an escape. But today Mr.
Ma^k will be hard put for the ap-
propriate phrases.
In other years he had at least
the skeleton of a team at hand
as he Shipped west to bask in the
California sun. This season he has
the skeleton, all. right, but minus
the tibia and'fibia. A1 Brancato,
Benny McCoy arid Sam Chapman
/won’t be on deck when the limited
chugs away. They are all en-
grossed in various branches of
military service.
This is as should be and Mr.
Mack isn't moaning at the bar.
As for the infield, when Mr. Mack
looks ,at it he must want to scrap
the rose-colored glasses he has
worn 24 hours a day for several
years now and replace them with
■ a set of blinkefs. McCoy’s job'
probably will go to Crash Davis,
an agile fielder, but a 219 hitter,
while the Brancato post is as open
as an Arizona prairie..
With Dick Siebert, the club’s
heaviest hitter, set at first base
and Davis on second, it will be up
to Pete Siider and A1 Rubeling to
handle rhort and third between
them. The rookie infielders don’t
appear too bright at the moment
and Fred Chapman may be called
But he must be mildly nostalgic.relief work.

look. It is printed in pastel blues
and greens, perfect ■ colors with
which to describe the available
material. In 1941 there wasn’t too
much wrong that a good mound
staff couldn’t have cured. But
1942—oow! .
Chapman was a ,323 batter, Lhe
power hitter of the club, and per-
haps the beat of Mr. Mack’s recent
discoveries—He has imprpvcd ev-

versity of California campus. This

Frank Hayes, happily, is a first-
rate catcher but when you mention
catching you must mention pitch-
ing and I’d rather not, you'll find
better pitcher in any china shop
than on the A’s roster. John
Knott and Phil Marchlldon won
23 games between them last year
and are the mainstays. With few
exception, the others are five-and-
dime store bric-a-brac.
Philadelphia is one team which
nobody needs scrutinise through a
microscope during the various
stages of spring training before
determining where It Is going this
year. Philadelphia isn't going any-
where, except down, and .that
doesn’t seem possible. -------
