{ Before anybody blames me for
that statement, or asks wh.- they
don't just stay in war plants. I'd
like to explain that said declara-
ton comes tonight from Al Mayer,
veteran booking agent who il s
some So of the bone-bending be-
henoths under his promotional
paw.
Mayer isn't the kind OF person
you would picture as controlling
the destinies OF some $4,000 pounds
of rasslers. AL looks like the per-
feet professor of English literature.
Plumply. sedate, he has neat
shock of white hair. A pince nez
cvers mid Brown eyes and q
small white moustache dances Sc
d;tely over an ever present cls-
aret.
But Mayer losas his placidlty
when anyone suggests that wrest-
lers are athletic gypsies putting
on sideshow composed of groans
and grimaces.
Most wrestlers are college men
and when they wrestle in college
they are gentlemen" Mayer COM
planned. But as soon as they turn
professional they are buns On
the other hand, most fighters come
up off the streets and yet nothing
ever is said about them. It is one
of the inexplicible mysteries Of
SPORTS
What gives wrestling this repu-
tation?
IT frankly don't know" Mayer
said. There have been repeated
statements that wrestling is crook
ed. That isn't so. These men wres-
tie their way to the top the same
as in any other sport, and you
don't think they're going to throw
matches and lose their reputation,
do you
Without answering that one, we
suggested that maybe the show
manship which goes with the sport
had something to do with its i'll
repute.
Il don't like that reference to
i'll repute," Mayer protested. But
the showmanship is part of the
game. The people love it. They
want a good show and they get
1t. And it's coming back, too"
Mayer, booking agent for most
ct the Atlantic seaboard, then pro-
duced facts and figures to show
that the grunt and groaners are
packing the houses wherever they
show. This despite the fact that
nearly 100 of the. top-notchers are
in the service and that 80 per cent
OF those left work regular shifts in
war plants.
Fault for the many world cham
pions Who reign from coast to coast
is placed squarely in the lap of
the various athletic commissions
by Mayer.
1.-The commissions don't recog-
nize wrestling as competitive
sport" he said. "They force us to
call them wrestling exhibitions.
That means we can't have a coast
forecast champion. So each section
has its own stars and it's left at
that. Why some of these Cham
pions' wouldn't draw their breath
in New York.
Nov our champion, Babe Shark
ey, is champion in more territory
than any other wrestler" Mayer
added. $50 I guess that mekes him
the real champ.
But I'll say this" he conclud-
ed, they're all gentlemen"
And as he said that, our eye
caught a poster on the be-pictured
wall which showed a wrestler who
looked like Frankenstein's big
brother. 1t proclaimed the Swedish
Angel as the worlds ugliest wrest-
Ter a n d asserted: Women faint,
men shout, children cry-is it hui

 The final responsibility for choosing between sum clear ance the yacht harb and the stadium rests on Congress- which appropriates the money

The pre-cooked special baby cer- calls have added vitanins and rnin- erals and are very nutritious. They are attractive to insects, much the same as whole wheat flour is more subject to insect infestation than is plain white flour. Placed on a pantry shelf with other cereals, you may find that insects will leave the less nutritious foods in preference for these more nutri- tious ones. They should be stored in a dry place, not too warm. Espe. cially after the package has been opened, it may be best to keep it in the refrigerator.
 The canned baby foods, also canned evaporated milk, are sterilA ized and will keep almost indefi- nitely before opening. All canned foods should be stored in a cool, dry place. Food in glass jars should be stored in the dark be- cause light destroys one of the vitamins, ribofavin. very rapidly. This also applies to milk in glass bottles.
 When baby first begins to eat canned strained vegetables and fruits, only part. of the can may be used at a meal. As with can ned milk, the can or jar has been sterilized when the food was pack ed and is a perfectly safe con- tainer. The top of the can should be washed before opening, then the unused portion may be left in the container (either tin or.glass jar), carefully covered and re. frigerated.
 If there is no refrigerator, do not attempt to keep canned milk or baby foods after the can has been opened. Use for some other member of the family, as in creamed soup. Canned foods are cooked foods and need the same care and treatment as other cook ed foods.

Rich Are Favored
 In House Tax Bill
Handful of PrOfit-Fat Corpora tiOns Are Given Lions
 Share of Savings

Lobbyists for corporations which have swarmed over Capitol Hill "like locust plague" have turned their attention to the Senate in an effort to obtain complete elimina- tion of the surplus profit tax.
 They have an earnest packer in Senator Walter F. George Dem, Ga.), chairman of the Senate Fin ance Committee, who never hesti- tates to grant favors demanded by Big Business.
 George said he would seek to wipe out the surplus profit tax and to restore the 12,0O0,0 900 little people to the tax rolls. While seeking gen. erous relief for the rich, George contended the Treasury could not afford to lose the taxes of persons with low incomes.
 The limitation on debate and the banning of amendments had ten- dency to make the discussion of the bill rather cut and dried. The time was controlled by members of the Ways and Means Committee who favored the bill and they parce1led it out to Solons who could be counted on not to be too critical.

AFL Wins Round In Row with Navy
Order Shackling Supervisors Suspended Until President
 Truman Decides the Issue


 A. F. of L. unions this week won a round in battle against a Navy Department attempt to bar super visory employees in navy yards and other naval establishments from engaging in union activities.
 Under an order issued by the de- partment, supervisors had been given until October 18 to comply with the ban or face discharge. They could retain membership, but not hold any union offices or be active in other ways.
 District No. A of the Interna- tional Association of Machinists and the A. F. of L. Government En- ployees' Council vigorously pro- tested the order as an interference with the internal affairs of labor organizations and as an attempt to undermine unions.
 After the protest was taken to the White House, the navy agreed to suspend the order until Prsident Truman decides the issue. Union spokesmen voiced hope that Tru- man would rule in their favor.

The Liberators had just released
their bombs on Bruck, Austria,
when the flax began singing out
PriSkorn's bomber. A large piece
of flax hit the tail, cutting the
rudder controls, knocking out the
oxygen supply to the tail and rem
dering the automatic pilot useless.
PriSkorn came off the target fly
ing the bomber with his ailerons
and rudder trim tabs.
1t. Priskorn was able to stay with
the formation all the way back to
the home base but once over the
field his troubles began to mount.
Without rudder controls there is
no way to control the plane after
landing if wind is blowing and
40 mile an hour croSS-wind was
going. PriSkorn asked the crew if
they wanted to bail out but they
elected to stay with the plane. He
circled the field until all other
planes were down. put the crew in
crash landing positions and started
down.
Guided by trim tabs and aileronS
the Liberator got on the ground
but Immediately started off the
runway at high speed when
caught by the cross-wind. PriSkorn
threw on more power, almost
burned out his brakes, and finally
brought the plane back under con-
troll. 1t was still on the runway
when Priskorn got it stopped. No
one had been injured but the en-
tire crew voted it the worst sweat"
