ECONOMY AGAIN

Congress was so cool to the New Deal 5
latest tax proposal-the one which III
cluded Is per cent straight income tax
that President Roosevelt used part Of
his Armistice Day holiday to confer with
his experts on ways to reduce non-defnnSe
expenditures of the federal government.
Somehow, it seems rather sad that the
chief executive had to run up against al
obstacle in the way of getting more OF
the peoples money before he took the
first step toward cutting the nation 5
non-defense expenses.
1t has been pointed out time and agan
that there has been no reduction what
ever in non-defense spending since the
present armament emergency began. II
fact, non-defense spending has increased
right along with defense spending. The
administration seems to have hoped thai
congress and the people would overlook
the fact because of their great devotion
to the cause Of defense.
Now it becomes apparent that the peo-
pie are not going to subscribe to new,
higher taxe/ willingly until the cake has
been eliminated from the governments
non-defense diet And so the President
acts-better late than never.

 Cleveland, Ohio, June 4. .-- (UP) - Jeff Heath, the Cleveland 1ildi- ans freshman batting sensation in 1888 and bust during the past two years, again Is pounding the American League fences as he did in his first year.
 The rejuvenatlon of the heavy hipped outflelder began shortly after the Indians reported for spring training in Florida. Base. ball observers, long accustomed to Heath's locka daisical spirit on the field, were amazed by his general hustle and drive.
 Judgement was reserved, how. ever, because at times during the last two years when he was lolling in the doldrums he would exhibit a periodic flash of the great prom ise expected of him.
 But Heath hasn't as yet slowed Up il the field or at bat. He's been in the leagues leading hitters al most since the season began and gives evidence of remaining there.
 Heath Doesn't Explain Heath himself is reticent about his comeback. He has ncnc of the usual explanations that he has regained his bathing eye or the familiar - T just grew up."
 I'm hitting the ball pretty hard" he said. land hope to continue think we're going to the pen- nant and I'm going to do my best to help"
 Further change in Heath Is his dismissal of all the criticism that he has been forced to take during the two years that the Indians, always a pennant contender, were unable to get much help from his playing.
 T probably deserved it." he said Let's let 1t go at that"
 It's no certainty that the Indians will win the pennant because ot Heath's booming bat. but little help might have gene e long way toward winning 1t last year when they were nosed out by one game by the Detroit Tigers.
 Happier Under Peck"
 The change of managers from Oscar Witt to Roger Peckinpaugh evidently did much to making Heath Q happier ball player and consequently better one.
 Always resentful before of criti- cisn, Heath could not stand Wits vitriolic upriSings, Peckinpaugh'S soothing manner undoubtedly has done much to calm the eaSily-ruf- fled outfelder.
 With Heath out of his two-year slump, the Indians outfsld be- comes enc of the most formidable in the league. with Roy Weathery at center field and Gee Walker in right.
 Whether Heath can continue his batting splurge and speed in chas- Ing the line drives which once went by him because he made only half hearted efforts to get them. re- mains to Dc seen. But he thinks so
 This is new year for me-" Heath asserted. i've gotten off to 0 geod start. think I can make it the best year I've ever had.
 Anyway, I'll help with every bit I've got. The rest of the fellows on the team deserve 1t and with the mighty fine manager we've got there's little reason not to win the Dennaflt."

 The United Press learned that the federal power ommission--which may ration electricity fin an cmer- gency will include night baseball in It's nationwide inventory Of tho power situation within the next ten days.
 A series of conferences with utili- ties to discus emergency measures, including rationing, begins today at Atlanta, Ca, key point of the Bouth- eastern area where drouth has com. plicated the power problem. These conferences may determine the flu. ture of night baseball.

If the situation warrants, baseball owners may be asked 10 cooperate in curtailing night pro- grams"
 A United Press survey brought this general reaction from baseball officials:
 Tough for Minor Leagues
 Minor leagues: Judge W. c. Bram- ham, chief Of the minor leaeucg.. which depend largely upon night bafoball-Said:

 Major leagues-"We haven't been asked yet We're always willing 10 cooperate with the government, but there seems no necessity for dIseon. tinuing night baseball now"
 BaEeball officials contend that night games do not place an extra burden on power supplies and that they should be permitted to con- tinue because:
 l. When people are attending night games, they are not using electricity ct home; therefore, the amount of power consumed at n game IS negligible by comparison. lA Washington power company of- official supported this theory.
