The Dodgers. with batting champ ion Pete Riser. and the Yankees with flashy shortstop Phil Rizzuto boasted the rookie of -the-year in the two major loops last year. And this year almost every club has a fairly strong candidate for top honors.
 Early in June Catcher Ray Lam- anno of the National League and Shortstop Johnny Pesky of the Red Sox and First Baseman Les F1em- ing of the Indians in the American were pacing the first-year men at bat. Young Ed Head of the Dodgers led the twirlers.
 All-Star Rockies On the basis of the first two months play, here is this corners idea of an all-ster major league rookie team:
 First Base-Les Fleming, Cleve-
 land.
 Second Base = Len Merullo,
 Chicago Cubs.
 Shortstop-Johnny Pesky, Bos-
 ton Red Sox.
 Third Base-Manny Fernandez,
 Boston Braves.
 Outfield-Oris Hockett, Cleve-

Some fine evening when the stars
and the moon are smiling prettily
outside, and you are in a night club
with nothing better to do than listen
to entertaining table conversation,
have a close look at the orchestra
which is supplying incidental music
to your evening. Sometimes things
60 on in a dance band that can

the brow-beaten music it is play
ing or the company you are keep

to be able to get that sublime up
lift from whatever music they may
happen to be playing. 1t will be
apparent that the same force which
prompts Toscanini to hum in his

and has Koussevitzky shedding an

Attorneys Preparing Data
In Ewinq Case DISPUTE

Defense and Government attor-
neys involved in the fight for a new
trial for Orman w. Ewing, convicted
recently of criminally assaulting a
20-year-old Government worker, to-
day were preparing legal memo
randa for Justice James w. Morris
in District Court, bearing on the
issues raised. Arguments on the
motion for a new trial closed yes
terday, setting what officials called
a new record for such hearing,
which consumed almost as much
time as the actual trial.
Justice David A. Pine. after a brief
hearing, yesterday dismissed a
habeas corpus petition, previously
filed by Ewing's new defense counsel,
Attorney James j. Laughlin, on be-
half of Miss Florence Steadman,
waitress, whom he claimed was vir-
tually held prisoner by the dis
trict attorneys Office. Justice Pine
established that Miss Steadman is
no longer in custody, as first
claimed, so he discharged the writ.
Assistant United States Attorney

that "the young lady was never de-

ski; but the boys in whom the music
really seems to seep into every
crevice.
OF all the bandmen in town, there
are two who epitomize this quality
with great eloquence. They are
Johnny Velasquez of Louis maison
and Devon Clemens who beats the
drums for Sasha in the Troika.
Consider Clemens Any type of
tune acts as stimulus to his whole
makeup. Be it the most woebegone
of fox trots or the most frantic
rumba, every fiber comes alive and
he is completely unself-conscious
about it. His struggling shoulders
and nodding head colorfully en-
phasize the beats, off-beats and
those little extra flllips with the
sticks; but it is Clemens serious,
mustached face that provides the
beat reflection in his emotional pool
He will frown over one drum roll,
raise his eyebrows and pop his eyes
at the next, more emphatic one. He
will compress his lips or puff out
his cheeks in an especially bouncy
passage. or chew his tongue if the
pace gets exceedingly fast. Com
bine this facial extravaganza with
the pumping legs, the patented
/ Clemens shoulder thrust and the
weaving elbows, and there's little
revue all of its own.
Velasquez, on the other hand,
provides a study in tautness, as
opposed to the Clemens flexibility.
Johnny will be humping out the
piano accompaniment for his rumba
complement in more or less routine
fashion when, of a sudden comes
the piano break" in a piece like
Son de la Iona" That's the point
where the gleam enters his eye and
fire into his fingers. He will sit
rigid on the edge of his chair, neck
tendons standing out, hands fairly
snatching at the keyboard to get

La Guordio Fovors RumFs
Pay s-You-Go Tax Plan

NEW YORK, Aug. % tP).-Mayor
F.. H. La Guardia. president of the

yesterday he heartily" approved of
the Ruml pay-as-you-go plan for
Federal income tax payments and
was acting favorably on a suggestion
that copies of the plan be sent to
members of the conference.
The suggestion was made to Mayor
La Guardia by Mayor George

his own comment to Chairman
George of the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
In a broadcast last night over

Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the

said popular interest in his plan
stemmed from a growing realiza-

become.

thing for the Nation at any time
and particularly now, when we want
nothing to distract us from an all
out war effort" he said. sPay-as-
you 60. therefore, must be thought
OF, not only as an important ele-
ment in present tax legislation, but
as helpful factor In building public

He proposed that Federal income
taxes be paid on earnings for the
current year. Thus, instead of pay
ing the 194l levy in 1942. as at pres
ent the taxpayer would pay his

volve wiping out the remainder of
