RAINBOW IS SEEN
FOR REDS IN 1886
Dresser Thinks They Surely
Will Be in First Four,
Maybe Contenders.
BY EDDIE BRIETZ,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

N YEW YORK, June 13.-The
M good burghers of Cincinnati
" can cheer up. Brighter days
are ahead for the former base
ball stronghold on the banks Of the
Ohio.
So pleased is Charlie Dresser with
the sprightly playing of his remodeled
and rejuvenated Red machine this
season that he predicted today a first
division finish in 1885 and maybe
part in the pennant scramble.
Right now the hustling young Red
legs are bouncing about in sixth
place, and with bit of luck Dresser
thinks they may finish there, two
notches higher than q Cincinnati en-
try has wound up in four years.

Dresser Having Good Time.

DRESSEN, who is getting a great
kick out of ministering to the
National Leagues kindergarten de-
partment, wants just four ball play
ers-a first sacker, another winning
pitcher and two outfielders who can
hit a 300 clip.
"Give me those" he said, land we'll
take our chances with any of them
next year. Our kids will be improved.
They'll know more base ball, have
more balance and the stage fright
that troubles them now will be over.
tell you I'm feeling good about 1886"
The present Redlegs form one of
the youngest teams ever to represent
a major league city. No less than
five of the regulars are big-time fresh
men. The number is increased to
six when Hollingsworth or Schott
pitches and to seven when Erickson
Is behind the bat
I'm having a lot of fun working
with those boys" said Dresser, who
came UP from Nashville last season
to take charge in Redland. You'd
be surprised how seriously they take
their base ball. They hold their
meetings and give each other merry
cain. And they don't hesitate to ride
me when I guess wrong"

SEN. PITTMAN ASKS AID FORsMINING INDUSTRY
Denver Mining Record)


 With the worthy objective of aiding in the development of promising mining properties that at this tune cannot com ply with the conditions required for loan from the Recon struction Finance Corporation Senator Key Putnam ot Nevada has introduced in the United States senate an amendment to the national recovery legislation authorizing loans to mining companies
 With the amendment sponsored by Senator Plttman, section IA of the Act in question would read In part as follows
 he Reconstruction Finance Corporation authorized and empowered to make loans upon sufficient security to recognized and established corporations individuals and partnerships engaged in the business of mining milling and smelling of ores.
 The Reconstruction Finance Corporation authorized and empowered also to make loans to corporations ndvld uas and partnerships engaged in the development ot quartz ledge ven other body placer deposit containing gold silver gold and silver when n the opinion of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation there is sufficient believe that through the of such loan the development of lode ledge ven mineral deposit there will be sufficient value to pay profit upon mining operations.
 It is also provided that such development loans shall exceed $OOOO any single instance and the total made available for this class of aid to mining shall not exceed $10,000,60000.
 There has been considerable complaint recently that the mining industry has not received it's fair share of federal aid for recovery The Pman amendment should do away with much of this for complaint It would provide government help for the smaller mining properties and assist in the development of promising prospects without restricting any the oanng of larger sums for the equpping of mines with profitable ore bodies already tensively opened up looking to increased production

D, {, UTILITY TAX
Up TOMORROW.

Public utility legislation will be
considered by the House District
subcommittee on utilities tomor-
row, it was announced today by
Representative Randolph Carpen-
ter CD of Kansas, chairman OF
the subcommittee.
1t is planned to take up a utility
taxing proposal introduced by
Representative Byron B. Harlan
CD of Ohio.
A railroad bill before the COM
mittee calls for abolition of the
railroad station at Seventh Street
and Maryland Avenue Southwest.
Some opposition from business
leaders in the Southwest section
is expected.
It was learned that some of the
opposition has been appeased by an
agreement between the railroad
officials and citizens calling for
substitution of a way station
where trains would stop briefly.
The tax measure proposes a 4
per cent gross receipts tax and a
6 per cent net receipts tax on all
local public utilities and banks in
the District.

Confirmation Battle
Looms in the Senate
International News Service

A brisk verbal battle doomed in
the Senate today over the con-
troverSial proposal Of requiring
Senate confirmation of all Federal
employees paid $4,000 a year or
more.
Senator Gore Cd of Oklahoma
sponsored such an amendment to
the NRA extension resolution, ard
it was passed, and only removed
after the 15E2-hour filibuster of
Senator Huey P. long CD Of
Louisiana.
Now, Senator Gore plans to
fight to attach the amendment to
the pending social security bill.
Senator Long and a number of
other Senators supported the plan,
and no little fighting over it i'm
pended in the Senate. Senator
Harrison CD of Mississippi, han
ding the social security bill, pre-
dicted it's rejection, however.
Leaders depended upon the de-
bate limitation obtaining in the
Senate on social security to aid
them in defeating the antipatron-
age amendment. Under this linn
itGtion, no Senator may speak
more than once or longer than
80 minutes on any amendment.

who saw police shoot and kill her
bedroom burglar" companion,
Vincent Di Aoun, in a country
club on Range Mountain last
night, was held without bail to-
day on a charge OF having har-
bored him.
The Divorce, Mrs. Mildred
Rothlisberger, 80, of East Orange,
wept bitterly at her arraignment
before Police Recorder Albert L.
Vreeland as her attorney. Samuel
Green, of Newark, called her a

come involved by accident.
She pleaded not guilty to VIC
lating Section 16B of the New Jer-
sey criminal code which declares
it a felony to aid, abet or harbor
a criminal, and was turned over
to Prosecutor William A. Wachen-
field of Essex County for possible

The ambitions of a youthful
West Virginian are expected to be
fulfilled Wednesday.
On that day Rush D. Holt will
become 30 years old and, unless
the unexpected occurs, will be
seated as a Democratic member
Of the United States Senate from
the State of West Virginia.
Throughout all the current ses-
sion, the West Virginian has held
the status Of Senator-elect, al
though his duties and activities
have been much more akin to
those of a regular member of the
Senate.
He was elected last fall. win.
ming over the Republican who for.
merly was a member of the Sen.
alchemy Hatfield.
Fight Expected
Saturday the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections re-
fused to uphold the claim Of
former Senator Hatfield that Mr..
Holt was improperly elected be-
cause he had not reached the re-
Quired age. At the same time the
committee voted to seat the young
Democrat, and although the Re
publicanS are expected to put up
a fight against seating him. it is
generally believed he will win.
Since January, Mr.. Holt has had
an office in the Senate office
building, a desk in the Senate
chamber and has performed the
various duties of Senator for his
constituents.
Much of his time also has been
taken up, he explains, with max.
ing addresses throughout the
country at the request of the
Democratic National committee.
He has made several tours of Sec
tions of the country and has ap.
peared several times on special
occasions when a Democratic
speaker was needed.
Fighting Utilities
He has given particular atten-
ton to the study of problems
concerning the utilities and power
interests. He has been fighting
these interests throughout his po-
litical career, and hopes to &C.
complish much in this fight when
he becomes a full-fledged Sena-
tor. He explains:
"I have tried to impress on
these utility and power inter.
eSts that / am not opposed to
them but am acting In their
interest, If they could only
realize it,"
