"Happy" Chandler, the new baseball commissioner expects to see a sports boon after the war. Meeting the press for the first time since his election to the job a week ago, he said yesterday that baseball has two immediate responsibilities.
"We must provide some place for baseball's war veterans to play. We are obligated to find jobs for them," he declared, "and second, thousands of players have been wounded and will need rehabilitating and they ought to be able to see baseball games."
Chandler proposes to locate leagues close to government hospitals and in high schools and colleges in order to take advantage of all the opportunities to discover new baseball talent.
His idea is to carry baseball "back to the country" to capitalize on the rising emphasis on sports that he forsees.
Opening of Pool Is Popular With Men
Student response to the open hour for men at the swimming pool in Robinson Gymnasium has been good, Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen head of the department of physical education said today.
"There are always men at the door before 5 o'clock waiting for the pool to open." Dr. Allen reported.
There is no direct check on the number of students who have taken advantage of the opportunity to use the pool, but "Phog" said today that plans are being made to keep a roll of the swimmers at the free hour so that an exact report can be made.
Dan Westerman, a student in the School of Education, is on duty to serve as lifeguard and instructor.
Dr. Allen announced on April 18 the opening of the pool, which had since 1942 been restricted to military personnel.
Persian Pottery Is Display For Month At Thayer Museum
Three pieces of Persian pottery are on display in the Masterpiece of the Month case for May in Thayer museum. Persian pottery is known for its beautiful color, its lustre and the way it attracts the light to play upon iridescent surfaces.
The most spectacular piece is a large bowl in the blue-green, most familiar of all Persian glazes. The painted patterns have a spontaneous, light and casual charm, another characteristic of this form of ceramics.
Shown with the bowl are a blue glazed 13th century Rakka ewer, and a 16th century Kashan lamp.
