All-Star Game
Capacity Crowd Sees
American Leaguers
Whip Nationals, 5-3
(Continued from Page 1)
Washington Senators, whose selec-
tion by manager Joe McCarthy wps
somewhat of a surprise.
But after Stan Hack and Billy
Herman had singled and a fly by
Stan Musial had brought Hack home,
Leonard baffled the Nationals until
he gave way to lefty Hal Newhouser
of Detroit at the start of the fourth
inning and except for Vince DiMag-
gio they stayed bewildered for the
remainder of the struggle.
The Pittsburgh Pirate star, one of
the famous DiMaggio brothers of big
league fame, came into the contest in
the fourth inning with a single and
engineered the National League's two
closing runs with a triple in the sev-
enth and a home run in the ninth,
both off Cecil (Tex) Hughson of the
Boston Red Sox.
Although Leonard received credit
for the victory, the pitching star of
the game and favorite of the fans
was lefty Johnny Vander Meer of
the Cincinnati Reds, who was the
National League's winner in the 1938
All-Star game, the year of his double
no-hit feat.
Vandy came to the rescue of Coop-
er with one run in, one on and one
out in the third. He proceeded to
strike out six and catch two in a dou-
ble play to account for eight spec-
tacular outs.
His performance gave him a total
of 11 strikeuts in all-star competi-
tion and tied a record made by Carl
Hubbell of the New York Giants.
Yet even Vander Meer did not
emerge unscathed in the scoring, for
in the fifth inning he walked George
Case, the Washington Senators'
speedster, who raced to third on a
single by Vernon Stephens. of St.
Louis and tallied an unearned run
later on an error by Billy Herman,
the Brooklyn second-sacker.
It was a tough personal blow for
Vander Meer for, after walking Case,
he fanned en Keltner of Cleveland
and Dick Wakefield, the Detroit
rookie sensation, in succession. Case
was running when Stephens singled
to left and might have been nailed
trying to reach third if left fielder
Stan Musial of the Cardinals had
made a good throw.
U.S. To Plan
Agriculture
Relief Body
WASHINGTON, July 13.- (/P)-
The United States may propose to
other United Nations creation of a
joint body to mobilize the agricul-
tural resources of all to swell the
amount of food available for increas-
ing war and relief needs, and also
develop production strategically soE
that a minimum of transportation
will be required.
The idea, advanced by a food study
group, is under consideration by the
administration. It is based on the
premise that the United Nations are
not now holding their own in food
production, and'4 that the United
States cannot alone make up the
prospective deficit even though it
hopes for a record harvest next year.
The United States' 1944 food
planting goal was set by Food Ad-
ministrator Marvin Jones today at
380,000,000 acres, an increase of 16,-
000,000 over that for 1943. He also
asked that meat, dairy and egg pro-
duction be maintained at high levels.
"Every crop acre and every farm-
ing facility in the nation should be
mobilized for its most productive
use," Jones said.
The suggested United Nations War
Food Body would be separate from
an international agency proposed at
Hot Springs, Va.

Pilot Makes
Recor(I Jump
AT AN ADVANCED AIRBASE IN
NORTH AFRICA, July 12- .(/P)
Twenty-four year old Lieut. Robert
Emile Armstrong of Knoxville, Tenn.,
is wearing a black eye and a slightly
cut forehead as the only souvenirs of
his fourth and most, exciting victory
over enemy aircraft plus a 35,000-foot
parachute jump which probably set
a record for the North African thea-
tre.
Armstrong was flying a spitfire
when he attacked a well-armed
Junkers-86 Reconnaissance Plane
at 35,000 feet. His cannon jammed
so he pursued his victim at short
range firing machinegiins.
He got in a killing blow but not
before a cannon shell from the Junk-
ers hit his canopy windshield, knock-
ing off his oxygen mask and helmet
and disabling the spitfire.
Dazed, but aware of the danger
from the loss of oxygen, Armstrong
bailed out and dropped 10,000 fet
before pulling the ripcord to open
his parachute.
The wind began to blow him to-
ward a lake and he tried o steer
away by slipping his parachute but
failed. The wind changed, however,
and enabled him to land safely. He
hiked three miles to a highway where
an army engineers detachment Look
him to a field hospital for examina-
tion.

and eight months.
Wheeler recently left a senior
petty officer rank in Australia to
come aground for the college naval
training program here. His ex-
perience in the Navy has varied
from patrol squadron duty off the
coast of California to aerogra-
pher on a mine sweeper.
Fromnnaval air stations at Pensa-
cola and Corpus Christi, Wheeler
made his first trip at sea to Honolulu,
then transferred ~o the U.S.S. Peli-
can as an aerographer, weather fore-
caster to the laymen. It was his
second ship, the U.S.S. Altahamar,
Indian for "the leaky canoe," that
brought him to New Zealand for the
first time,
That's the home of the best
milk, cream and butter," he added,
"and there we became a part of
the southwest Pacific fleet flag."
"The rest of my time abroad
was spent in Australia, with a few
short expeditions to Caledonia and
New Guinea," Wheeler said. "It has
not been very exciting," he said;
"most of the excitement I saw was in
Australia-the' rivalry between the
Americans and returning 'Aussies,'
And I can't see any reason for that,"
he added. "as there are about ten
girls to every man there!"

Student Volunteers
Fill University Quota,
227 Sign on Campus
When the Red Cross mobile unit
from Detroit makes its monthly
call here tomorrow and Friday, 450
volunteers from the University, Ann
Arbor, and Washtenaw County will
donate blood.
Of the minimum of 200 pints of
blood an afternoon, 40 pints high-
er than last month's quota, 26 will
be given by the Judge Advocate
General's School. Of the 227 stu-
dent volunteers, 108 women have
signed up to give blood.
Quotas for both men and women
students were filled early, due to the
excellent student response. Regis-
trants are urged to keep their ap-
pointments promptly, as otherwise
they will not be able to donate blood.
Ann Arbor resident and organiza-
tions have also responded to the call
for blood donors, Mrs. Palmer Chris-
tian, chairman of the Washtenaw
County blood donors, said yesterday.
The Cook Spring Co. has signed
up for 30 pints. The Neighborhood
War Clubs, Kiwanis, and the
lion's Club are also donating
blood.-.
Two doctors and ten nurses will
arrive with the mobile unit, and set
up ten to twelve beds in order to
accommodate 260 pints per day.
After the blood is taken, it is packed
in ice and sent to the Parke-Davis
laboratories in Detroit, where the
plasma is processed.
SIGN-OUT SHEETS DUE
All dormitory, sorority and league
house presidents are requested to
turn in their weekly sign-out sheets
of their house together with the
composite sheet which is to be com-
pletely filled out by Tuesday, it was
announced yesterday by Ann Mac-
Millan, '44, chairman of Judiciary
Council.
"Do I miss the old country? Oh,
no," sighed Sgt. Rudi Landmann, of
the Language Area program, a na-
tive of a Bavarian town near the
French border, "but I do miss the
beer!"
"But that's the only complaint I
have to make about Ann Arbor,"
he laughed, "It is a lovely town."
Sgt. Landmann, who came to the
United States in 1927 at the age of
27 to visit his brother in Mexico,
liked it so well he stayed here and
never did get to Mexico!
Landmann Became Citizen in '34
"I went back to Germany the next
year and that convinced me that I
wanted to become an American Citi-
zen," he said, "so I returned to the
States and got my citizenship papers
in 1934."
Jokingly asked if he had ever
regretted the move, Sgt. Land-
mann said defiantly, "Sorry? I
enlisted, didn't I? And it makes
me very proud to be a soldier in
the United States Army."
"I was home last in 1938," Sgt.
Landmann said," and everything at
my home was quiet then. My town,"
and he carefully spelled the name,
Schifferstadt Rheinpfalz, is very
peaceful. The population was about
15,000 before Hitler brought in immi-
grants from the North, and now it's
about 25,000," he said.

DO I MISS THE BEER!
Sergeant from Bavaria
Prefers Life in States
German, Sgt. Landmann related hi
greatest thrill in his country:
"I visited the Pennsylvania Dutch,"
he explained, and I found that these
people, whose ancestors came over
here more than 200 years ago, have
kept the dialect of the home-land
completely intact. It may not sound
like very much to you, but it really
gave me a thrill."
"Since I've been in the States,"
Sgt. Landmann said, "I've covered
the whole country, including Alas-
ka. The only large city I've missed'
is Boston; how, I don't quite
know."
"The most significant thing I no-
ticed in my later visits to Germany
was the replacement of French by
English as the international lang-
uage. Long before the war France
was losing her position as social
leader of Eorope to England,", he
said.
