| TAX PROSPECTS
BY ROGER W. BABsoN

WASHINGTON, June q. - The
past week l have been trying 10
make an intelligent forecast OF the
prospects for reduced Federal
taxes after Japan collapses, which
should be within six months. Ihls
is summary of my conclusions.
The average investor little real
ICES what tremendous sums corpo-
rations are penalized by exess
profits taxes. In many cases these
taxes amount to more than in
vestors receive in dividends; IN
fact, some times double Or per-
haps triple. If these were suddenly
eliminated, after Japan collapses,
some companies could double or
triple their dividends. Yet in all
probability this will not happen,
especially if company earnings fall
off materially.
l am sure that the excess prof
its taxes will not be cut off alto
gether and corporations will be
lucky if they are cut in half with
in a year after Japan collapses.
My present belief is that these
excess profits taxes will gradual
ly be reduced as the earnings OF
companies gradually decline dur
ing the postwar period. The gener-
al purpose of such tax program
would be to keep corporation net
earnings about where they are to.

vantage of peace, but preventing
them from being penalized by the

NELSON LEADS
TEXAS TOURNEY

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Jan. 81
CP-Byron Nelson played with a
splitting headache today and gave
the rest Of the field a headache
as he hurried in with a IS that
brought him the lead at the half
way mark of the Texas open with
nine -under-par 1873 for So holes.
The Toledo professionally five
below regulation figures pushed
him one stroke ahead of Sammy
Byrd of Detroit, who previously
had posted a IS to make his total
1874. Raymond Gafford of Fort
Worth, the first-day leader with
66, took a one-under par 10 to-
cay to drop into a tie for fourth.
1T wouldn't seem guy would
have a headache after round like
that, would it?" Nelson said as he
left for his hotel. Nelson went out
in IS, one under par, despite a
DOGGY on No. 3 where he three.
putted.
Byrd, former New York Yankees
baseball player who has applied
his blasting talents to golf, had
swept home a couple of hours be-
fore with his-under-par round. He
had gone out with a one-under IS
but on the second nine the De-
troit professional, really went to
town.
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-01-28

The question was how they
would get along with the new
Yankee boss, Col. L e ! a d S.
Larry MacPhail and whether
Cousin Ed wasn't sighting the
end of the baseball trail.
MacPhail, who headed the three
man syndicate which bought the
Yankees yesterday for little less
than $4,000, 900, was emphatic in
his statements that Barrow and
Mccarthy would remain with the
club, but his words lacked the fiery
authority which the flamboyant
baseball executive commands when
he wants to drive point home.
He may have been sincere
enough, but it didn't take long for
baseball men to see that MacPhail
hasn't changed any from the man
who led Cincinnati and Brooklyn
out OF baseball's financial wilder
ness.
And the MacPhail OF Cincinnati
and Brooklyn is hard to reconcile
with Barrow and Mccarthy, two of
baseball's conservatives, who get
things done quietly and efficiently.
MacPhail gets things done efficient
ly, too, but he isn't at all backward
in letting the world know about it.
There isn't anything in the make
up of the three men that is the
same and baseball men can't con-
ceive Of any of them changing
enough so harmony might prevail.
Barrow himself may have limited
what way the wind was blowing
when, after sale of the club had
been announced, he said:
Il have informed Larry Mac
Phail that since 1 came to the
Yankees in the fall of 1920 never
have entered the clubhouse except
to congratulate the manager and
players on having on a pennant or
a world series. 1 would like to see
that policy retained"

TO PRO CRIDDERS
Dan Topping, One-Third
Owner, Also Owns
Brooklyn Tigers
Nv HAROLD CLAASSEN

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-R0Sale
If the New York baseball Yankees
NAV choke off all opposition to the
national football league or it may
give impetus to a full blown rival
for the veteran grid circuit.
Capt. Daniel r. Topping, one
third of the syndicate which has
purchased the Yankees, also is the
owner of the Brooklyn Tigers OF
the pro football loope.
If the New York football Giants,
who play their home games in the
polo grounds, waive their territorial
rights and permit Topping to dis
play his own football team in his
own ball park. the national grid
ders likely would dominate tn e
post war picture in that sport.
Should the grid Giants refuse, it
has been intimated that Topping
might transfer his football allegi-
ance to one of the three pro cir
cults planning to spring up after
the war, and thus become rival
of the football giants and the ma.
tional league.
If that happens, or if Topping
should sell his football holdings, it
has been limited that Chick Nee
hans trans America circuit would
have first chance at the stadium
field.
Branch Hickey, president of the
Brooklyn Dodgers and who recent
ly announced his intentions of en-
tering the post war football COM
petition, reiterated today that 'ev-
en- if Topping operates in the sta
dunn I am interested in new
football league" He also is report
ed as favoring the trans America
circuit.
Other proposed circuits are the
all America conference and the
United States Football League.
Both have allotted New York fran
chises.
Tom Gallery, general manger Tor
the Tigers and representing the alb
sent Topping in the football dis
Icussions, revealed the clubs nick
name was changed from the bod
gers year ago in preparation
for a move.
John V. Mara, president Of the
football Giants, said that neither
Topping nor h S representative
had talked to him concerning the
clubs territorial rights but added
that a friend is more acceptable
in the stadium than an enemy and
Brooklyn is a member of our pres
ent family"
Even if Topping does continue in
the national and plays his games
in the stadium he will not be per-
mitted to nickname them h e
Yankees" Boston's young eleven
has prior claim to that monicker.
