Washington POST

over a period of many months we have spoken
frequently and pointedy in favor of am refrigeration
Of Congress Among the reforms that we have con-
sistently advocated is generosity the part of
Congress in supplying it's needs Specifically,
we have Endorsed the recommendations of many stu
dents of Congress who believe that members salaries
should be increased. We have argued the for
more experts for congressional committees Yet we
fear that the House of Representatives has made a
serious mistake in voting a $500 tax-free expense
allowance for its members
Both Senators and Representatives unquestion-
ably need larger incomes. Their expenses have been
greatly increased in recent years With Congress
meeting almost the year round their opportunity of
making extra money from either business or pro-
fessional practice is virtually gone In the cir
cumstances advancement of the congressional salary
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year would not seem to be
excessive. With the relaxation of controls over war
time wages it is only reasonable for Congress to plan
for an advance in its compensation. But that
change should clearly be part of the general reform
program being shaped up by the Joint Committee
ON the Organization of Congress.
1t would be incredibly shortsghted to adopt pay
increase measure first and let the essential adjustment
of the committee structure and Of various wasting
congressional practices await later action. Some of
the necessary changes will be painful to men,
bers. The least the House could do would be to
the leaven Of salary adjustment to tighten the re-
organization task that will confront it the
La Toilette Monroney Committee makes its report
The other objection to the $500 allowance APP
proved by the House is deeply rooted in principle.
Apparently the reasoning behind this move is that
tax-exempt allowance will give substantial relief
without appearing large in the public We think
it will be far more obnoxious to the public than
larger straight salary increase would be- because it
extends to congressman a special privilege In a
democracy special privileges are always invidious.
Members of Congress cannot reasonably exempt part
of their compensation from taxes without granting
similar privileges to other groups. We hope that

that an agreement can be reached either

S. $. FRANKLIN

One incident occurring aboard
the stricken Airplane Carrier
Franklin during her rescue seemed
trivial on the surface but might
have resulted in serious tragedy. 1t
was the lending OF some officers
uniforms to enlisted men.
Just before the Jap bomber
struck the giant carrier, it had
been raining and some Of the men
fueling planes on deck got
dnechhed. Some of the younger Of
ficers told them they could go
down to the officers quarters and
get some dry clothes. The men,
taking advantage of the situation
to play joke. got all dressed up
in officers uniforms.
Just about this time, the carrier
was hit and became mass of
flames. Later, when the Cruiser
Santa Fe pulled alongside to help,
the men in officers uniforms, who
had Disappeared on deck, jumped
from the Franklin TO the Santa Fe.
Others, seeing these supposed Of
ficers jump thought word had been
given to abandon ship, and they
began leaving the Franklin whole
sale. This largely accounted for
the great number of men who
jumped to the Santa Fe or into
the water

 MISS GERMAN MEET 3 TIMES
By WALTER BYERS (United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press StaH COrreSpOn0ent) Chicago, Aug. "A = (UP) = Mrs. Babe Didrickson zaharias of Los Angeles risks the last great record of her athletic career today when she meets defending Champion Dorothy Germain of Philadelphia in semi-fin match of the Women's Western Amateur Golf Tournament. The Babe, hailed as Americas top all-around feminine athlete ever since she was 19 years old, has not been beaten during eight years of tournament match play. Now 3l years old and playing the worst golf of her career, she fears that this may be the end of brilliant win ming streak. My luck is awfully thin, both against Dot and on this Knollwood Club course" she said.
 Twice Miss Germain, who at 2l years is the most promising golfer
 to come along in decade, has tried
 to mar Babes glittering golf record. Twice the Babe has beaten her, each time in the finals of the Women'S
 Western Open tournament.
 Now they meet for the third time.
 Their 18-hole match is the big
 show, sort of preliminary cham pionShip," while Louise Suggs of Atlanta, Ga, tournament medalist, meets Phyllis Otto of Atlantic, 1a., 1914 runnerup. in the other seni- final match. The two winners play | 36 holes tomorrow for the title. Miss Germain, bidding for her third consecutive w. w. G. A. amateur title, has been playing
 steady golf, while Mrs. zaharias, three time w. w. c. A. open champ trying for her first western amateur title, has been playing an cratic game.
 She twice has rallied to win ex- tra-hole matches, her last comeback being yesterday when she finally knocked Marjorie Row of AnniSton, Ala, out of the running one-up on
 the 20th green.
 "Froze" On Putt
 Mrs. zaharias was two-down with
 two holes to go when she got the
 break" she needed. Miss Row, cur
 rent Michigan State Amateur
 Champ, "froze" on the 17th green.
 When faced with 8 seven-foot putt that would give her the victory, she
 barely nudged the ball three feet.
 Babe rallied to win the 17th and
 18th to even the match and then 1lthey halved the 18th hole before Mrs
 zaharias took the 20th as her 'youthful rival drove into trap. Miss Germainl had no trouble in
 busting Mrs. Frank Mayer of Chi- cago, 6 and 5, while Miss Suggs. playing the. best golf of the tourna- ment, breezed through Sally Ses- sions of Muskegon, Mich, T and 6, finishing -under-par for the 12
 holes.
 Miss Otto barely squeezed into the
 semi finals, finally outlasting Eileen Stub of Augusta, Ga, one-up on the 20th hole. Both shot 10-over- par golf. Although Miss Stulb never led, she managed to tie the match four times.

T
 A half hours discussion and a aandshake at the Hotel Elton last night brought about agreement iO- 3 baseball game that several thou and waterbury, fans fnight wish to see-Fred Davis Brasscos, 3-13 ioserS to the Boston Braves vs the l945 City Amateur league champion Tribune A. c.
 It will be one game (rlot 8 series) under the 1ightsn at Municipal Sta- alum, Saturday night, September 1. A few days later, the Tribes leave for the "open" American AI11- atcur Baseball Association tourna- ment at Harrisburg, Penn, starting September 5.
 Representing the Tribune AC last night at conference with Fred Davi, packer of the Brasscos was James (Shimfners) Sheehan, presi- dent of the Baldwin street athletic club and Cliff Mc7ale, secretary of the City Amateur league.
 Much Talk
 Since first announced exclusive iy in The Democrat, negotiations between Brasscos' boss, Davi, and Manager "Packy" Shea of the Tr1- bune AC have been going on, with last nights agreement eliminating rre-game arrangements. The City Amateur league champs, whose lace" pitcher, Lefty John Pezzulo has already defeated the BrasscoS who met the Stratford Chance vought Flyers a few weeks ago, feel that their CAL group can set back the Brasscos even under the lights at the stadium, as Pezzulo is a big, strong fast-ball pitcher witE plenty of night baseball experience.

Teller Full Of Cofidence

Cleveland, Aug. 24-(UP)-Bullet Bob Teller, who not only had the best pre-war fast ball but the best curve in the business. returned to pitching duties with the Cleveland IidianS today. hoping he would be able to use a. trick or two he learned in the Navy.
 Going against the league leading Detroit Tigers in his recently into the big leagues, Teller insists that he will pitch smarter ball" than nc did before leaving the team.
 And I've got some surprises m store" he said. i've been working hard at Great Lakes Naval Station the past few months and I feel I'm in major league condition"
 Teller is convinced his fast ball is as fast as it ever was and that In addition he has a "dipsy-do" change of pace pitch.
 The new pitch Is slow bal, . lazy drifter that is expected to make his fast one all the harder to hit.
 What forries feller is the fact that he hasn't picthed under lights since going into the service, even though after dark pitching generally helps fast ball hurlers.

United Press Staff Correspondent

 Heidelberg, Germany, Aug. 24- (UP)-Standing beside the rampant of the Heidelberger Schloss, one of the most picturesque castles in Ger many, we met through a special service appointment three CT. base ball players formerly of the major leagues.
 They were Staff Sgt. Ewell (Blackie) Blackwell of Sandimas Cal, and the Cincinnati Reds, 8 pitcher; Pfc. Whitey Moore, ar1- other Cincinnati pitcher, and Pfc. Don Holloway, second baseman of the Chicago White Sox. Blackwell is the most discussed athlete in the European theater of operations because of his recent mound feats.
 The players and writers stood on the ancient castle wall overlooking the beautiful city, unscathed by war, lying on both banks of the Neckar river valley in the Odenwald noun tains.
 It was the strangest sight imagin- able, discussing baseball at the huge old Gothic castle which was started in 1898 and partially has crumbled from age.
 Blackwell, p, weighs 19O and stands six-feet-five. A righthander he has not been beaten in the Il games he pitched in Europe. includ- ing a no-hitter against the 76th Di- vision of the Third Army two weeks ago at Nuremberg.
 Blackwell is now with the Fist Division of the Third Army al- though he landed in France with the Seventh Army. Stationed in Augsburg, he is pitching for the Third Army All-Stars. He allowed three hits Tuesday at Mannheim when he defeated the Seventh Army All-Stars.
 My best pitch is a fast sinker, he said. T believe I am better than before I entered the Army although maybe my record here just looks good because most service batters try to murder the ball and knock il out of the small parks" He added that he got more ex- perience pitching against good clubs | in the Army than he would have ii the Reds has farmed him out to the minors.
 "All-Star plays in the European Iheater is equal to the class of thu wartime major leagues" he said T am mess sergeant, but when finally get home I have a wife who will cook me plenty of roast beef
 Blackwell has 43 points but h' hopes to return home early nex year in time for baseball spring training. After training with the Reds in the spring of '42, Blackwell was optioned to Syracuse, then wa. recalled by the Reds only to b' drafted immediately into another league-the Army.
 He is confident he can stick 1T the big-time now and Moore ant Holloway agree heartily. calling Blackie one of the best pitchers they ever have seen. l Blackwell saw combat service from March F to the German sur render. When his outfit met thu Russians outside Steyr, Austria. Il was one of the happiest days of m, | life because knew we could begir playing a little ball and would soor start home"
