 Nelson, a 1903 hitter with the Milwaukee Brewers last season, de- velOped the arm trouble shortly after arriving in camp and pre- liminary examination there revealed that his teeth were causing it. He will undergo dental surgery If the x-rays confirm the first diagnosis, he said.

 New York, March 29-(UP)-Fred Corcoran, tournament manager of the Professional Golfers Association today branded as Base Canards" the rumors that relief expedition might be sent into Dixie to rescue those members of the touring golf caravan who reportedly are suffer- ing from the Byron 1Ielson-Sam Snead monopoly"
 The relief rumors doubtless had their origin in the fact that Nelson and Snead have each won six tour neys on the so-called golden trail.' Together they have won 12 of the 16 tournaments staged since the tour opened Nov. g at Portland, Ore. Approximately 20 professionals have made the winter swing, with indi- vidual expenses running about $150 a week. Hence the rumor that most of these linksmen were starving
 Willie Goggin and his associates may have unwittingly given birth to the rumor last week at the Char lotte, N. O., tourney. Willie and player-pals circulated petition re- questing that the P. G. A. reduce the amount of prize money given for the first five planes in tourney. and increase the amounts given to those who finish from 10th to 10th. This would help the field to keep eating. Ed Dudley, president of the P. G. A., has taken the petition un- der advisement; but nothing is ex- pected to come of it. At least it will not affect the two journeys re- maining on the tour-at Durham, N. C., opening Friday; and at Atlanta, Ga, April to 8. Incidentally, Bob- by Jones may compete at Atlanta. We telephoned today to tourna- ment manager Corcoran at Durham and asked him about the relief ex- petition. Corcoran'S reaction was explosive. He snorted, "nerts: Those rumors are base canards. This tour is just about the same, from the financial angle, as any other. Some guys win the money, and some don't. Most of the players have at least broken even. And always remember this-no player makes the tour who can't afford it."
 How can player afford it, if he wins few prizes and his expenses keep running at $150 week?
 'Tt's like this," Corcoran explain

 ON PERSONAL
 CUT AT GARDEN
By ALFRED JONAS

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, March 29-(UP)-Ned Irish, reluctant to reveal his earn ings for promoting basketball games at Madison Square Garden, may be subpoenaed before a grand jury which will require him to do so, presiding judge Samuel Leib- owitz of Kings (Brooklym county court indicated today.
 Leibowitz, irritated because Irish refused more than a dozen times yesterday to answer specific ques- tions about money derived from the games at the Garden, said there is 8 proper body befor, whom these questions may be askeI and answers must be made"
 Arrangements are being made he said, to recall the grand jury before which Brooklyn College bas- ketball players in volved in 8 brib- cry deal testified last month. Irish's appearance yesterday at the oper hearing by Leibowitz was an after math of the grand jury investiga. tion.
 After failing to elecit from Irish more than vague replies to his ques tions and those of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Charles Cohen re. garding his income, Leibowitz an grily adjourned the hearing.
 Mir. District Attorney, think have the power to order MT. Irish to answer these questions" Leib- owitz said. But rather than involve this investigation to technicalities I will sustain his objection. I an sure, however, that you know therO is a way you may pursue in whicf you will not be defeated in you quest. There is proper body be. fore whom these questions may bt asked and answers must be made.
 Cohen replied that steps alread! have been taken in this matter"
 From the questioning of Irish! promotions at the Garden Ginct 1934-35, the first season in which he scheduled double header basket ball games, 1t was revealed that ht receives a 10 per cent cut of the profits. Since 1942-43 he also ha: received 8 fiat salary of $12,50t annually as acting president O Madison Square Garden Corpora ton.
 Asked by Leibowitz whether al the money in the Garden basketball account went to him, Irish said ht l had to deduct operating expenses.
 Just how much did go into th' pockets of Ned Irish, then?" Leib owitz asked.
 That is a personal mater and don't care to answer" Irish retort' ed.

 French Lick, Ind, March 29 - U.P.) - The condition of Pitcher Ed Hanyewski's arm was matter of concern today to Chicago Cub Manager Charley Grimm, Haney- zewskP complained of soreness yes- terday after three inning work out and although Grimm said he doubted if the trouble was serious, it was in the same spot where he injured it Last spring, keeping him out all year.
 Frederick, Md, March 29 - GU. P) - Bobby Estallela, showing more promise than at any time in his career as long distance hitter, was credited today with batting rarity-three triples-in an intra- camp game for the Philadelphia As. Estallel, Dick Siebert, Larry Rosenthal and Elmer Drake provid- ed the batting punch for the Grays yesterday in a 6 to 0 victory over the Blues. Joe Berry and Carl Schhieb held the Blues to two hits, Berry allowing only one in the six l innings he worked.
 Washington, March 29 - (U.PJ Pitcher Jim (NO Hit) Tobin and Catcher Stewart Hoffert were the only hOldOuts left among the BOs- ton Braves today. Two more players Outfielder Elmer (Butch) Niesman and First Baseman Joe Mack, came to terms yesterday.
 Pleasantville, N J., March 29 1 (UP)-Manager Joe Cronin, who expects to play regularly with the Boston Red Sox this season, oc- cupied an unfamiliar spot-third base-when the team lined up for the first of nine-game series with ed. Practically every player who at temptS a winter tour is top flight golfer. He is connected with a good club. His salary continues, while he is touring. Any victories enchance his personal prestige and that of his club. Meanwhile the competition keeps his game sharp-keeps him valuable to the club. During the year, each player puts awa..' a cer- tain sum each month to be used as his tour fund. He figures he can af- ford to lose this sum, if he wins nothing on tour. Otherwise he doesn't start"
 Thus far the winter tournaments have given $150,000 in war bonds as prize money. Approximately H5,000 of this has gone to Nelson, Snead, Jug McSpaden and Sammy Byrd Byrd won the Texas open; and Me Spaden was Nelson's partner in win ming the Miami four-ball tourney. In addition, Sgt. Jim Terrier of San Francisco won the Oakland open; and Ray Mangrum of LOS Angeles won the Tucson, Ariz., open.
 Despite the 12 Nelson -Snead vic tories, Corcoran emphasized that the average player on the current tour had more chance of cutting in on some prize money than in normal times when about 75 made the swing, instead of the current 20. And in normal times, there would be more local" pros from each tourna- ment section competing against the touring pros.
 Corcoran concluded, "the only re- lief needed on this tour might have been for the golf courses that have been blistered by the hottest play in the games history. Winners have averaged about 68 per round. The calibrc of play may have let down in other wartime sports-but not in ] competitive golf"

Atlantic City, N. J., March 29.

Mccarthy, anxious to see what the youngster can do, may work him into role as regular if he can show sufficient control. Because they haven signed contracts, Mc- Carthy refused to let Pitcher Bill Zrlber or First Baseman Nick Etten work out with the team when they arrived.

FOR A CALM MIND

We contemplate thine eternal
serenity, O Infinite and Almighty
God; and our restless spirits cry
aloud for a share of Thy prom
ised peace. We are so little like
Thee; and we confess this as a
sin. Thou wouldst not have Us
full of fret and care, up one day
and down the next. May we
prove our faith by our quiet
minds, sure that all Thy ways
with Us mean only good. Thou
hast chastened us for our dis
obedience and wrong-doing, and
we would humble ourselves under
the mighty hand of God. Forgive
us our trepasses. Grant Unto us
the peace of the pardoned. En-
able us, we pray, to go through
these troubled days in quietude OF
heart. May the calmness OF our
lives attest or confidence in
Thee; for naught that can befall
us is outside of Thy wise and
holy purposes for US. AS all ma

New Railroad Problem

American railroads which have done an out
standing job throughout the war with mad
equate forces and rapidly deteriorating roll
ing stock, equipment and tracks, now are up
against a new problem that will prove no
easier to solve than any of its wartime worst.
With the coming Of peace the heavy ship
ments of ammunition and supplies being NOV
ed to the West coast have been halted enroute.
Hundreds of freight trains have gone into sid
ings, if they could find one not already occupi-
ed, to await further orders.
The cancellation OF Shipping orders applies
time and expert calculating to get the thou
sands OF freight cars affected by the stop order
redistributed whether to points of loading or
other destinations and diverted into regular
routes OF travel.
No railroad man has ventured n guess on
how many cars are stalled or when they may
be moved. One of the principal factors is to
determine where they are to be unloaded.
Their loads represent investment OF many
millions of dollars, little Of which has salvage
value In the case of ammunition, there il
danger of explosions involving not only loss Of
lives but destruction OF railroad and adjoining
private property.
And while the rail lines are trying to gel
this freight untangled they must continue taei1
heavy passenger service. Millions Of persons
in the armed services will have to be trans
ferred perhaps several times and ultimatel,
taken home. The p1 ssenger load will not b.
materially lightened for some months.
Having proved their ability to solve all war
time problems turned over to them the line
will not fail to solve these new ones, but Their

AS To Taxes

With three hundred billion dollar war
debt, it is not probable that any substan-
tial tax reduction can be made during the
forthcoming session of Congress, but it is
gratifying to learn that some cuts are In
prospect for next year.
Chief interest centers in the announcement
that the IS per cent excess profits tax on cor.
porations will be killed. 1t has been impossible
for all corporations to dissolve in order to
escape this confscatory levy, although many
have substituted partnerships for their former
corporate existence. The large corporations
which have been drained by this tax will well
come its removal and be in position to con-
duct expansion programs through which the
country at large will be benefited.
1t is also gratifying to know that the small
income tax group will enjoy large reductions
or escape income taxes entirely, and that
through the probable removal of the nor
NAL tax wage carriers and salaried persons
will not have to contribute so largely to the
Treasury. Reduction Of luxury taxes on many
items also will be welcomed by the public
But whatever is done by Congress to ease the
tax burden cannot be much as long as thai
three billion dollar debt exists. The great Crane
children of present young parents will still
be paying for the defeat of the Axis. 1t woulo
not be so onerous, for us or for them, it q
part of the total did not represent govern
mental waste and extravaganza

Churchill And Russia

| AS leader of the opposition in the House Of
Commons, Winston Churchill may speak more
plainly than when he was prime minister He
gave fair demonstration of his intention to
do 50 on Thursday, when he declared the
atomic bomb was the blow that broke the
back of Japanese resistance and saved the
| lives of at least million American and
quarter million British troops President Tru.
man and he had given the green light at Pots.
dam for invasion of Japan he said, although
the undertaking would have been the bloodiest,
most costly campaign of the entire war. Only
because it was decided. to use the atomic
bomb following its experimental success IN
the wilds of New Mexico, and the terrible
effect of the two dropped on Hiroshima and
Nagasah, that Japan folded up and invasion
was not necessary.
He further revealed that Soviet Russia had
declared intention to join the Western Allies
before Germanys fall. The penetration OF Jap.
anese territory from Siberia was not the re-
suit OF snap judgment, but part OF clearly
Washington while the Germans were still in
action And while Mr. Churchill voiced alarm
over Russia's spreading influence in eastern
Europe, he cited the attack in Manchuria as
evidence Of Stalin's good faith with his Allies.
While Mr.. Churchill was giving the credit
for Japan's surrender to the atomic bomb, the
Russian press was minimizing its effect on the
enemy and claiming that the deciding factor
was Russia's entry into the war. As usual,
Russian papers declared some American dali.
les were speaking slightingly OF Russia's part
in the Pacific conflict.
We have never been able to understand the
attitude OF the Russian press, which seems
tc be the counterpart of an individual with an
especially sensitive corn, eternally afraid
someone would step on it. This is the more
significant because the Russian press is not
Free but controlled by Moscow. Complaints
Of American papers and their untrammeled
comments, are not the individual outbursts OF
independent editors. They are, we must be-
lieve, inspired by the government, and from
all that can be gathered of the present state
of affairs in the Soviet Union, the govern
ment is under the thumb Of the Russian Army.
Stain seems to be the one dictator completely
lacking dictatorial powers.
If the Russian press pickering fairly repre-
sents the Army viewpoint, there will be years
Of controversy ahead between the Western and
the Eastern Allies, which cannot be viewed
without foreboding If the Russian Army is
in fact the chief power in the Soviet Union ii
would be as well for it to note that Russia
would have been defeated by the Germans
had it not been for American lend-lease.
This would be good text for Mr.. Churchill
when he next addresses Commons.
