BATON ROUGE, La, March 80.
While the New York Giants pre-
pared to play a scrub game here
today, Manager Bill Terry came
to the defense of the National
League style of ball playing.
"A man who can bust up a
ball game with hit is a great
asset to any ball club" said
Terry, but he is worth twice
as much if he can also save a
game by being a fine defensive
player. The Yankees are a
superteam, but they wouldn't

offensive featured two homers by
outfielder Jock Winsett and one
by Pitcher Waite Hoyt who al
lowed the Tigers two hits in five

Plaza Underpass
Friend Forces
Bill Repassage

Because Chairman Palmisano of
the House District Committee wants
pedestrian subways built beneath the
Union Station Plaza, the House today
had to repass a bill providing for
annual mechanical inspection of all
District motor vehicles.
The measure was first approved two
weeks ago, but was recalled from the
Senate by Mr.. Palmisano and an
amendment added providing that fees
motorists will be required to pay for
the inspection go into the special
highway fund. instead of the general
revenues. Without discussion, the
House approved the change and again
sent the bill back to the Senate for its
concurrence.
A 81 fee is to be charged for the
initial inspection. Subsequent inspec-
tions will cost so cents each. The
principal object of the fee is to main
tain municipally-o inspection
stations. Mr.. Palmisano, however. be-
lieves there will be a surplus, which
should go into the highway fund. He
is hopeful that this fund will be of
sufficient size next year to- provide
pedestrian underpasses at the Union
Station Plaza.
Twice a day, Mr.. Palmisano is
forced to dodge Union Station traf1ic.
He lives in Baltimore and commutes
