ALABAMA PITTS STILL YEARNS
 FOR BIG SHOW
Star of Sing Sing Here To. morrow Night-BrOken
 Finger Aided Him
By FRED KNIGHT)

It isn't fun receiving Q broken finger in a baseball game and then being forced to sit on the bench for q month, but that's one experience which Alabama Pitts does not re- gret. Ironically, the busted digit gave Sing Sings most publicized graduate the opportunity to recover his bearings, regain his batting eye, and acquire new confidence in his efforts to make good as a profes- sional ball player.
 Hit for 300 in Final Month
 Now that Pitts reviews his many experiences since taking his diploma from Sing Sing on June 6, a little more than six months ago, he ad- 1nits that what he first thought to be . bad break-that broken finger --tnried out to be one of the best breaks he could have possibly had. He was pleasantly surprised to find himself a much improved player after a month of in activity.
 TT never worried about anything before in my life but was so an- xious to make the grade with the Albany Club that I frightened up tighter than drun-during those early games last summer" explained Pitts today. T was tense and I was nervous. I couldn't relax and l couldn't hit the ball during the first niSle games of night ball but then came my broken finger. sat on the bench for Q month and 1t did me @ world of good. I became accustom- cd to the lights, lost my nervous ness and regained my confidence. I wound up the season batting for .24O. but I hit for 300 during the last month and that was some dif- Ference, from that average of about vO7O I had before I was hurt"
 Pitts comes here to lead his eAlabama Pitts All Stars" into ac- ton against the Waterbury club in c basketball game of the local sea- son at the YMCA tonight. It's the first time the now-famous Alabama has visited Waterbury.
 A free man again, Pitts has turn cd to . career as 8 professional ath- lete because he feels he can do that better than anything else. And as an athlete, he finds 1t possible to make good money. Already Gin six yn0nths) he has @2500 in the bank and more ig rolling in all the time. He collects 26 per cent of the gate for all appearances with his basket ban team. He has been able to reap in the shekels faster from playing football and basketball, but he goes bigger for baseball than any of the other sports. He'll willingly pass up football and basketball if he quali- 4ieg on the diamond, as he hopes he can, next season.

What Is
The Constitution?
BY RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
; Sentinels OF the Republic

- Sentlnets OF the Republic -
II has become the fashion in recent
weeks Tor certain public officials to say
that the Constitution issue is fading
from the current political picture.
They are wrong. No attempt to mini
mile its Importance can alter the fact
that the Constitution will remain q
dominant issue 50 long as the American
people are determined to resist all
efforts to curtail their individual rights
and privileges. Stsn Il
But the Constitution is far more than
q political issue. It is more than q
written code Of fundamental Law. It Is
the permanent expression Of the Amer
lean spirit-Of the American Way Of
Life.
There are today-and there will con-
tinue to be-men, in public Office and
out, who don't approve of the American
Way OF Life. Charmed by modern
European experiments, they would like
to change our basic system of govern
ment by the people, to form which
places all political power in the hands
Of one or more officials.
The tragic evidences of lost liberties,
threatened war and religious intoler-
ance which spring from such dictator
ships do not deter them. But the Con-
stitution does. Therefore they would
like US to forget about it-and its safe
guards-for while.
But we shouldn't forget. So long as
the Constitution lives, our liberties are
secure. If it falls, those iberties-and
the American Way OF Life-fall with it.
Eternal vigilance is still the price Of
liberty.

The Personal Touch
In Taxes
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN

Wspaperreading Americans are
learning the names OF lot OF once
Unfamiliar taxes these days.
Capital stock Tax, Undistributed
Corporation Reserve Tax, Tonnage Tax,
Manufacturers Excise Tax, Communi-
cations Tax, Insurance Tax-those are
just few OF the titles with which q
tax conscious Congress is crowding
the headlines.
What do they all mean? Let the
experts explain. The important fact IL
that whatever their titles, whomeyes
they are supposed to hit-we, the peo.
pie. pay the final bill.
Not directly. OF course-but in the
natural course of events. AS econom-
lists explain, the industries and other
producers at whom such levies osten-
sibly are aimed must raise the tax
money somehow How? The obvious
method is to add it to the price Of
their products-of the things which
the average worker and his wife and
children need and must buy
That's why we are told there's a hid.
den tax in every railroad fare we pay,
hn every market basket we carry. In
every rent bill we meet, in every suit
We wear, in every phone call we make,
in every mile we drive.
That's why heavy taxes, wherever
aimed, boost the cost Of living for
every worker and consumer-for the
overwhelming majority of American
families. That's why, regardless Of
titles, such taxes retain what writer's
ca11 thp srareor1a1 touch,
Trick names for taxes can obscure
these facts, but they cannot lower the
II. G. l.. That must be achieved by
reducing waste in government-whicli
makes heavy taxes necessary.

WHOLESALE INDEX

AS had been the case in earlier
weeks, the latest rise in the index
was due largely to higher prices for
farm products.

representing the price Of farm COM
modities increased 8 per cent
Cotton and most grains, hay, live
stock and poultry increased in price
last week. Although more items in
cluded in the foods group advanced in
price than declined, the effect Of fall
