Bonesetter Fixes LaMotta' s Hand and Jack s Leg to Be Fighters Miracle Man
By NED MILLS NEA Staff Correspondent

New York-(NEA)-For months months Jake LaMotta nursed a swollen left hand that refused to heal. Constant pain that increased with the lghtest punch was turning the No. middleweight challenger from puncher tno boxer. Physi- clans and chiropractors were consul ted, giving all the same diagnosis LaMotta's plight, kept secret for practical reasons, finally was dis closed to his boyhood buddy of anna teur days, Sam Abravaya
 Jake, my father is not a doctor, but he knows a lot about physio- therapy," said Sam. He'll be up from Miami next week. Why don't you let him look at it?"
 The following week at Bobby Gleason's Bronx gymnasium, a medium sized, baldish, brown-eyed Turk in the sos limbered his fin gers, and warned Jake, this will hurt little, but the more pain you can take the the quicker you'll have good hand"
 Go ahead" ordered LaMotta.
 The middle finger of the mas. seur's right hand is stubbed and of Steel-like texture. The pressure exerted on the swollen and torn tis- sus of LaMotta's meal ticket re- suited in pain more excruciating than he had ever experienced. The treatment lasted seven minutes.
 All right, Jake, you can take a healthy poke at the bag now don't think you'll have any more trouble,' said Asher Abravaya.
 LaMotta did and to his amaze ment felt no pain. His hand was as good as new.
 Gosh" calculated LaMotta, Hes Miracle Man"
 DISCLAIMS GREAT POWERS
 Abravaya has since mended hun dreds of disclocated digits, sprained hands, twisted knees, turned ankles, charley horses and various other ailments that beset fighters in train- ing or battle.
 Boxers working at Gleason's wide ly-used gym have unlimited faith in the Miracle Man.

I didn't dare let anyone know but this was worrying me plenty. Doctors couldn't seem to help. One day that skinny Turk went to work I on my leg and it hasn't bothered me since"

How Co-ops View Tax Issue
Groups Do Pay Most Levies, but Seek
To Keep Free of u. S. Income Tax

wide only one or two meals Tor the
table. However, both crops should
oe on the questionable side IN ap-
portioning the space. Other crops,
such as. tomatoes, beans, beets,
broccoli, chard, ETC., are more pro-
ductive and more dependable in
the Washington area. (Peas are
questionable crop unless planted in
March and then only the early ma
turing varieties.
In planning the garden 1t is well
not to allow more space for each
planting than can be used by the
family before the crop becomes over
ripe. On the other hand it is highly
important to provide for continu-
GUS harvest throughout the season.
This means frequent plantings-five
or six of beans; three or four OF
beets, and if space permits the grow
ing of sweetcorn, eight or 10 plant
ings for this crop which to be of use
must be harvested when tender.
Conservatism in Varieties.
To carry this space apportionment
step further, few families need
more than three pepper plants and
half dozen broccoli plants will
more than supply a family of four.
Two or three hills of squash are
ample, although second planting
is usually desirable to insure supply
during the late summer and fall II
the squash vine borer is prevalent.
Few people can use more than
dozen heads of cabbage unless they
plant a collection of varieties to
give a long harvesting period.
| Speaking Of sweet corn paintings,
1t. Is common practice among gar
deners to plant one or more rows
as soon as the soil is warm enough,
not realizing that when the corn
natures they will have far more
than they can consume. A better
practice is to plant 10 or Is hills
every week from the first of May to
! the first of August.
The expansion Of home fruit pro-
duction is another phase of garden
ing that should not be overlooked

slider those trees, shrubs, roses and
flowers that will add to the attrac-
tiveness and pleasure Of the home

surance companies, building and
loan associations, cooperative banks
credit unions, cemetery associations
and farmer co-operatives. An Or
ganization to qualify for exemption
must prove its nonprofit character
The basic contention of NTEA Is
! that funds paid out as patronage
refunds should be defined as profits
| to the cooperative and as such be
taxed as corporate income. 1t con-
tends that to say co-operatives op-
crate on nonprofit basis is subter-
fuge. Any one viewing the COOP
erative only as merchandising in
stitution can be misled easily on
this point.
However, when the cooperative
is viewed in its true light as an IN
tergrated function of the farms 1t
serves, the basis for the nonprof1t
operations becomes apparent.
Contract Is Important Factor.
Farmers operate their co-opera-
tives on nonprofit basis in order to
return more net income to them
selves as farmers. This is because
farming is their principal business
and marketing and purchasing
merely auxiliary services. The CO.
operative is merely custodian OF pa
tronage refunds until they are re-
turned.
Court decisions have established
the fact that all types of businesses
cooperative or otherwise, may pay
patronage refunds which are not
subject to corporate income taxes
provided they are obliged to do Sc
by contract. But patronage refunds
do not escape taxation, since they
increase the farmers net income and
are included in his personal income
tax returns.
Another fact worthy of note is
that co-operatives pay taxes on the
same basis as individual proprietor
ships and partnerships, neither OF
which pay income taxes as business
entities. This, of course, is because,
like co-operatives, they have no in
come. Actually 86 per cent Of the
wholesale and retail. and retail
Establishments listed in the 194O
census were proprietorships or part
nerships.
Farmers do not ask for special
treatment; all they desire is equal
ity under the law. They do ask
that the public understand the need
for co-operatives and realize that
co-operatives have been a healthy
and valuable addition to the Amer
lean economy.

Soil Payments
Cut 100000
For Next Year

joseph H. Blandford, Maryland
director OF the Production and Mar
keting Administration, announced
last week that about 100000 less
will be available in 1947 than was
used this year in making payments
to farmers who follow prescribed
land improvement methods. The
amount for 1947, he said, Will be
81, 1,746,000.
These funds, made available TO
farmers through county committees,
are provided under Soil Conserva-
ton Act passed by Congress after
the AAA Act was invalidated by the
Supreme Court. Payments are made
to farmers to induce them to use
fertilizer and lime and to follow
other practices to improve their
land.
Mr.. Blandford explained that the
local county committees next year
will have more responsibility than
in the past in outlining practices
for which payments will be made.
These committees will meet soon.
Farm leaders predict the new
Congress will curtail drastically ap-
preparations to be used IN farmer
payments. 1t has been pointed out
that an economy minded Congress
may consider it no longer necessary
to pay farmers to follow practices
that will improve their own lands.
1t was explained that other agen-
cies can always continue to deal
with soil conservation. The Soil
Conservation Service, for example.
through districts operating in the
States, assists farmers in planning
programs to enrich the land. While
the Soil Conservation Service may
provide certain machinery and
trained consultants, no payments
are provided farmers who follow
conservation plans.
Mr.. Blandford announced that
Maryland poultrymen are to have
the January price of eggs supported
at an average of IS cents dozen.
He said the Government plans TO
purchase in January an additional
100000 pounds of dried whole
eggs for the United Kingdom.

Farmer co-operatives form an i'm
portant part of the economic sys-
tenn. More than half of the farmers
IN the United States belong to one
or more cooperative associations.
The housewife, though she often
does not realize it, uses the products
OF farmer .co-operatives in almost
every meal she prepares.
Co-operatives often mean for the
farmer the difference between fair
prices and collusion prices, or quail
ity supplies and questionable sup
plies. Perhaps because they have
often been so helpful to farmers,
co-operatives are today under attack
by interests which in the past have
taken advantage of the farmer. For
more than three years cooperative
opponents have been raising a hue
and cry that co-operatives do not
pay their fair share of taxes.
I shall try to present few peril
nent facts about co-operatives and
then explain the main tissues in
volved in the tax controversy.
The Origin of Co-operatives.
Co-operatives spring from the
soil of economic need. Basicany the
reason why we have co-operatives
Is because agriculture in America is
built around the family-type farm.
Unlike industry, the small unit pre-
walls in agriculture inasmuch as 1t
has been found to be the most eff
cient unit and the one most con-
ducive to the farmers happiness.
An individual family farm is too
small a production unit to have its
own sales and purchasing depart
mentS, as does the typical industrial
firm. AS result farmers have joined
together to form cooperative asso-
Citations to carry on these functions
efficiently. The cooperative thus
becomes an integrated part of the
farm-a sales and purchasing de-
partment which is owned and con-
trolled by the farmers themselves.
In doing this the farmers have
followed the pattern of industry ex-
cept that groups of farmers have
Joined together to combine small
production units with larger buying
and selling departments. Industry

1t is. 1t won't only be new laws
thatIl 60 through the legislative
sluice, it'll also be changes in pres

Congress meets for the first time
January 8. From now on the Guide
will keep you posted on pending and

No. His hitch started after the
furlough ended.
From M. P, Andover, Mass: do
have to make a down payment on
a home I want to buy under the CT
bill loan provisions?"
Not under the terms of the bill
YOU don't. But that's really up to
the lending agency making the loan
The size of the loan and the policy
of the lender will be the determin-
ing factors.
From Mrs. c. S., Rome, N. Y: In
April, 1945, my husband was killed
in action. He left me one child. He
had named his mother as beneficiary
to his National Service Life Insur-
ance. II his mother dies and no
second beneficiary was named, who
will get the unpaid insurance."
Since your husband died before
the new insurance amendment be-
came law, settlement will be made
under the old law. You will receive
the payments after the death OF your
mother-in-law. Next in line is the
child, followed by your husbands s
father and, finally, by his brothers
and sisters.
From j. L., Portland, Oreg.: How
long can I wait before taking ad-
vantage of the GI bills education
provisions?"
All training or schooling under
the bill must be completed within
nine years after the official end OF
the war, as yet undeclared. And it
must be started within four years
after the official end of the war or
four years after your discharge
whichever is later.
From E. L. W., Chattanooga: 81

Write to the Adjutant Generals
Office, War Department, Washing

take some time before you get it
and it may not look exactly like the

 Meyer ordered Western Union to reinstate Timothy Walsh, a tele- print operator, with his full sen- iority of 10 years. Walsh, who ap- piled for his old job the day after the strike ended, was hired by the company as a new emplOye.
 WU contended it did not have to rehire Walsh at all since he did not apply for his job within 90 days after being released from the army. If he objected to crossing the pick etline, he could have made his ap- plication by mail or wire, the com pany said.
 Disputing this, Meyer said: |: ''While the strike was in progress the relations between the members of the union and the company were in a state of suspense and it was just as impossible for Walsh as a loyal union member to cOmmuni- cate with the company during that time as it would have been for him to cross the picketline. In view of Walsh's obligations and duties as a union member, there was moral 'impossibiIity of performance equal ly as effective as actual physical impossibility would have been.''

 Example 3-Price Control
 Price control is another example of how not to operate free enterprise.
 Free enterprisers say that their system depends on your being able to buy their goods. But Congress has its hands around the neck of OPA and is helping the profit boys squeeze out every possible kind of price increase.
 Prices are going up; the value of your dollar is going down. Pretty soon you'll be lucky if you have enough purchasing power left to keep yourselves working at even 75 per cent of full employment. That would mean about 15,OO0,OOO people out of work, and maybe the end of free en- terprise, but who cares?

 Yes, Sir. If this were my free en- terprise system, I'd be worried.
