Shiffman Denies
In on Contract
AT Fair Grounds
Tells Of Paying State
$4,000 Since 40;
Calls Brown Unfair

Abe Shiffman. who has been in
the automobile storage business in
Detroit since 1923. today disputed
charge by Auditor General
Vernon j. Brown that he has an
lin" with the government. result
ing in a contract for the use tof
the fair grounds in his private
business.
Brown announced in Lansing
Saturday that he is investigating
the fact that Shiffman is paying
the state 6 cents a day for each
car stored on the state property.
and that he collects from 18 10 20
cents from the dealers with whom
he does business.
THE auditor generals state
ment II absolutely untrue"
Shiffman said. "My average re-
turn on each car stored at the
fair grounds II II cents a day
and no dealer pays more than
l2 cents.
81 do not have an exclusive
contract with the state, as
Auditor General Brown charged.
As a matter OF fact, another
company last year stored 800
cars on the property and at one
time the buildings were used by
National Garages, Inc.
THE statement il unfair be-
cause II fails to consider the
fact that operationaI expense,
labor, damages and other over
head items amount to about
ga cents q day per car"
LEASES BUILDINGS
Shiffman's business is conducted
Through leasing several buildings
in Detroit and providing space
where dealers can store new cars.
He explained that he used the
fair grounds first in 1923, and in
1910 entered into contract with
the then fair manager. DIR. Lin
wood w. Snow. This agreement
provided for the payment of 6
cents day 10 the state.
THE contract was not re-
newed by the present fair man.
ager, Bernard III. J. YoungbIood,
but has been continued on q
day-to-day basis" he said. "Since
November, 1910, i have paid the
state approximately $31, ZOO,
which is money IL would not
otherwise have received.
Browns criticism IL partic-
ularly unfair I'm that IL reflects
upon n legitimate contract that
was at no time n secret matter.

Tenants. Landlords - Here are
the answers TO the two burning
questions of the hour:
For Tenants: Yes, you're safe
in paying only the rent charged
for your place April /, 1941, even
though the landlord demands
more.
For Landlords: No. you can't
charge more than the ceiling be-
cause you replaced an old stove
with a new one. No adjustments
will be approved unless there is
evidence of substantial STRUC-
TURAL Improvements.
HUNDREDS PUZZLED
Hundreds of puzzled persons
jammed Rent Administrator Pat
rick V. McNamara's office in the
Penobscot Building yesterday and
stood in line for hours.
A dignified, elderly gentleman
with a Van Dyke beard fumed at
Mcnamara.
81 reduced my rents. I'm sat
isfied. My tenants are satisfied.
Now 1 demand TO know why I
had to come down here today"
Mcnamara assured him that
nobody had compelled him TO come
down and that there was no rea-
son why he should have. The man
left, muttering something about
New Deal monkeyshines."
A good many landlords seemed
To be under the impression that
they were supposed to go to Nc.
Namara's office to register their
property. The rent czar. whose
voice grew hoarser and hoarser,
assured them that this was not the
case.
COME TOGETHER
The registration won't be
held until about June L." he
said. ..When the time comes IL
will be announced I'm the news
papers. Real estate offices
throughout the city will serve rs
registration centers-"
Some landlords and tenants
came together to the office to have
Mcnamara settle their arguments
"She raised the rent on me a
year ago." tenant said. Now
she claims she doesn't have to
reduce 1t because we're getting
more service than we did In
April. 1941."
-"That's=the truth, sir, the
landlord chimed in. "They had a
baby a year ago and they wash
1t every day. They're using lot
more hot water than they
used to-"
I'm sorry" Mcnamara said.

Negotiations between the Ford

pay. an increase in the number of
shop committeeman and equaliza-
ton of tool and die and main

about the Eagle

We turned the pages back to 1908,
only "a years ago, when iris was
playing with Little Rock. That was
our first meeting. The Gray Eagle
was great ball player then.
Time has taken nothing from him.
He has been beyond all question the
greatest fielding outfielder In the
games histOry-and l can give you
Jimmy McAleer, Fred Clarke, Jim
my Sheckard (Ring Lardner's pick :,
Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Joe jackson,
and several others.
And normally Iris was better than
$50 hitter. Beyond this, the Gray
Eagle from Hubbard City, Texas,
has had more brains than most of
the tribe.
Speaker has had the personality
that belongs only to few around
the top rung. He is now in his if
ties, all gray and partly bald, but
stin more ready and willing to get
in any form of war work where he
might be useful. At present he is
on draft board in Cleveland,
where" he tells you. 1--WE are pay
ing no favorites." Ard he's not ju
saying that.

I'D like to tell you something
about this kid Lou Boudreau," Iris
said.
Not bad manager" we sug-
gested.
mot a bad manager" the Eagle
almost screamed. 'If he has the
chance to keep going-Pm talking
about the war now--he'H be one of
the best that baseball ever knew.
Here's 24-year-old kid who is
smart, game. crafty, forceful, re-
spected and admired by every man
on his club-and a corking ball play
er on the side.
But the war is far more impor-
tant than Boudreau or baseball. No
one knows what will happen little
later on. I'm just trying to tell you
what Boudreau might have been in

Since 1886, when Sam came out
of West Virginia with q sweet swing
and power to burn, great things have
been predicted for him. But Sam
my proved somewhat Of q disap-
r0intment.
1t all started in 1887 at Detroit.
He had scored 283 in his first bid
for the National Open championship.
1t was in the bag But Ralph Gull
dahl, who was smoking hot, cracked
through with 28l.
Then, in 1888, at Shawnee-on-Dela-
ware, Snead went into the final for
the PGA title, against Paul Runyan,
whose average drives lacked so
yards Of Sans usual poke. Runyan
whipped him numerically. Snead
didn't win hole until the Gath, and
ended up on the short end Of an
S-and-7 score-the worst drubbing in
PGA finals.
The following year Snead made
history. lie took an eight on the last
hole Of the National Open at Phila-
delphia when a par five would have
meant victory. That horrible eight
will live forever in Sam's memory.
In 1870, at Hershey, PaS ron
Nelson joined the PGA G a Dion-
ship ranks by winning the title at
the expense Of Snead, the luckless.
Snead is still wondering how he lost
this one. He threw a final round OF
6S, FIVE under par, at Nelson and II
didn't do him any good. Nielsen out
played him. He turned loose a cOu-
pie Of thunderbOlts when they were
needed.
II hurt Sam to lose that one. The
West Virginia slugger played good
golf. He didn't fold up at critical
moment like he had done in the past.
But still he managed to lose.

The Athletics bought him the fol-
