LIONS CLUB LEAGUE

The last half season is really end
ing up in tough race for first place
with the Air Corps and Seabees now
tied for top position. These two
teams roll each other on Thursday

lost five out of Is. The last time
these two teams met on February

While President Branham's re-
fusal to sanction the granting of In
terstate League franchises to Connie
Mack and Billy urges, on the
grounds that it could result in ty-
ing up the franchises indefinitely,
without either franchise holder put
ting team on the field, has tenn
porarily stalled those two deals,
there is no doubt that the league
will have eight teams after the war.
Interstate League President Ehl-
ers, in accepting Branham's decis-
ion, emphasized that as soon as
Mack and urges were in position
to place ball teams on the field
their applications for franchises
would be favorably reconsidered by
the league.

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

The response to my suggestion, in
last weeks column, that Knot
hole Gang" be started here, has
been splendid and the following let
ter Zone of many 1 receiveD ex-
presses the general opinion:
Dear Doug:
Your article in issue of Globe
Independent, Feb. "a, 1914, under
caption of Behind Home Plate, .
relative the "Knothole Gang"
I am heartily in favor your sug-
gestion to give the boys seat in
the Ball Park instead of peeping
through a knothole, jumping the
fence, or tearing off boards to get
into the Park. l know what this
means because was kid once my
self and know that Dad didn't al
ways have a quarter to hand out.
Besides it is much better for the
kids to be all together in one group
to pass out the boos and cheers
when a hit or run is needed or to
help rattle the opposition.
Let's get together and see if
something cannot be done. After
all, some day these kids will be
wage earners and have the neces-
sary cash to go through the main
gate and boost the Ball Club that
gave them a break when they had
no money. All the kids need is a
leader, and 1 am sure Chief Peters
Juvenile Police Club will lend a
helping hand in this worthy move
ment.
Yours truly,

With the naming of Ollie Venek,
former manager of Lynchburg of
the Piedmont League, as playing
manager of the Allentown nine, the
roster of Interstate League mana

Ono I am not stealing Abbott and
Costello's baseball story, particu-
larly on the Owls team, is still very
much of mystery. With Maier
and Tom Davis getting tryout
with Buffalo, Pat Riley reporting to
Baltimore and Williams in the Navy,
the Owls have got to dig up a COM
plete new outfield and it looks as if
every sack in the infeld will be
covered by new player also. For
awhile the pitching staff looked OK,
but with Wilson and lannon's re-
porting to Buffalo there will have
to be requirements in that depart
ment also.

For Joyful Cough
Relief Try This
Home Mixture
Saves Big Dollars. No Cooking.

This splendid recipe is used by mill
lions every year, because 1t makes
such dependable, effective medicine
for coughs due to colds. 1t is so easy
to mix-a child could do it.
From any druggist, get 21s ounces
Of Pinex, special compound of prov
en- ingredients, in concentrated form,
well-known for it's soothing effect on
throat and bronchial membranes.
Then make syrup by stirring two
cups Of granulated sugar and one cup
Of water a few moments, until dis
solved. No cooking needed. Or you can
use corn syrup or liquid honey, in
stead Of sugar syrup.
Put the Pinex into a pint bottle and
add your syrup. This gives you full
pint Of cough medicine. very effective
and quick-acting, and you get about
four times as much for your money.
It never spoils, and Is very pleasant
children love 1t.
You'll be amazed by the way it takes
hold Of coughs, giving quick relief. It
1oosens the phlegm, soothes the irri-
tated membranes, and helps clear the
air passages. Money refunded IL Il
doesn't please In every way.

Expert Knowledge
Needed on Many Bills

That does not mean that there are
not men in congress who know as
much and more than many Of the
persons appearing before them in
favor of, or in opposition to, a par
ticular bill. But even senator can't
be all things to all men.
What can committee with linn
tied appropriation do in competition
with private group with funds to
hire the best legal or technical
brains in the country to present it's
case? How can a member of con-
gressiona1 committee be expected to
know as much about subject as
member of a government depart
ment who spends his whole time on
the particular subject involved?
Fortunately, the situation Is
durable. One answer is-greater
specialization on the part of the
members of congress. This can
be accomplished by cutting
down the number of committees
upon which member is allowed
to serve. I'm the house with its
larger membership member
can concentrate on single COM
mittee's work. In the senate,
know of one case where a
senator found that all six COM
mittees on which he served were
scheduled to meet at the same
time on the same day.
Another solution for the problem
would be provision for employment
of non-political experts, both tenn
porary and permanent, to advise
committees on purely technical mat
tiers. This arrangement now exists
but in such a limited degree that it
is hardly effective.

gress about which he is writing (the
76th) with the first congresses, he
says he is convinced that for dis
interestedness, absence of corrup-
ton, and concern with the public
good, the present body is of high
er order"
And that is a sentiment which,
in the humble opinion of this writer,
is substantiated by the majority Of
objective students of the two bodies.
All Democratic Institutions
Suffer During Wartime
The present legislators, if they
wished to be as tritely exasperating
as many civilian slackers in this
our time Of national stress, could
answer some Of their critics with
a shrug and a reminder that there
is a war on" When a war is on the
toughest f1bered of democratic in
situations suffer.
The inconsistency of the bulk Of
the complaints against the legisla-
tive branch Of the government in
the last two years can be seen when
it is realized that the two most popu-
lar charges offered were either
that congress was rubber
stamp" or that it was "obstruc-
ZIONIST" which adds up to a con-
tradiction.
Because Of the fact that the
growth of the country has de-
manded an increase in the
body Of administrative and
executive law, congress is
forced to delegate more power
and more functions to the ad-
ministrative branch. To over
come this trend in SO far as
possible will be one of the eff
forts of the reorganization, of
which I will speak In mo-
xAent. Meanwhile, it Is interest
ing to note that Senator LaFol-
lette himself called attention to

the accomplishment of the Tru-
man investigating committee in
exposing executive errors ale
ready committed and In pre-
venting others by the mere
threat of sever present exposure
and censure."
Representative Smith Of Virginia,
in the report of his committee to in
vestigate executive agencies, says:
To-day large percentage of the
most important legislation is E.
painstakingly drafted by the very
executive officials who are intended
to be the recipients of the powers
which the legislation delegates.
Furthermore, the same officials
are generally the only expert and
fully informed witnesses to testify
before the legislative committees OF
the congress having jurisdiction
over the proposed bills. If there are
opposing witnesses they do not, as
a rule, represent congress or the
people generally but rather some
special group"

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, ID. c.
1t is an old American custom to
take a pot-shot at congress when
ever something goes wrong and no.
body else is handy to blame, no
matter whether the trouble is dust
gstorms, sun-spots, jaundice or just
I plain crouch.
You may recall that this feeling
reached an unhappy high in the ia
NOUS bundles for congressman"
campaign of 1912. Some practical
jokers in Seattle seized on the civil
service retirement bill which made
all government employees, includ-
ing members of congress, eligible
for pensions, as an excuse to start
the horseplay. BY the time the silly
season arrived, everyone with an
overdose of prickly heat was taking
it out in one way or another on the
poor legislators.
That was very funny to every
body except the recipients of the
bundles and a few thoughtful
people who know that the great
est danger. to democratic gov
eminent is lack OF confidence
in the parliamentary body. They
knew, too, that most of the sins
OF congress are due to the fact
that some OF the congressional
methods established by the
founding fathers have grown
out of date. --rrse-1.-gz
AS one congressman put it to me
the other day: 1--WE can't be ex-
pected to handle billion-dollar bud
gets with a penny-ante setup."
In July, 1943, Senator Lafollette
{Progressive) of Wisconsin intro
duced a plan for the reorganization
of the committee structure Of the
senate. This year the senate ap-
proved the appointment Of joint
committee or organization Of both
houses. The Smith committee in the
house, Senator Malone- and Repre-
sentative Monroney and others car
ried on, until today the chances seem
bright for consideration by the 10th
congress of plan to streamline
the machinery Of the govern
ment's legislative branch.
In addition, a committee Of
lawyers has just completed four
year study on the reorganization of
congress, the results of which have
found favor in congressional circles.
I think it apropos at this point to
offer two quotations, one from the
works of the historian Charles
Beard, mentioned by Senator LaFol-
iette in an article he wrote on the
subject, and another from the arti-
Gle itself.
This is what historian Beard said:
''As a more than casual student of
the Congressional Record, venture
this opinion: It is possible to pick
out of the Record for the past 10
years addresses (not orations)
which for the breadth of knowledge.
LSCIIlACd4 Scl1l, dlldAy tAS0A oNNAAA~AAs
close reasoning and dignified pres
entation, compare favorably with
similar utterances made in the pre-
ceding century by the so-called
great orators"
LaFollette, subscribing to this
opinion, adds frankly, ''There is, to
be sure, more trash - bad poetry,
demagogic claptrap, and clotted
nonsense-in the Record of the past
10 years than there was on the an
mails Of congress from 1889 to 1799."
(Aye, ayeD
The senator reminds us, however,
of the extremely complex quality
of the problems which congress has
to face today and the distractions
to which the members are SUBJ
