RVS father said to him: Harry, I
think it's time for you to decide
whether you want OF keep throwing
baseballs all your life Or become
an architect. After all, an architect
has to have good hands, and yours
aren't going to last very long if you
keep tossing those dipsydoodles
with the inside twist
Harry pondered this for some
time, and he finally decided to quit
tossing the dipsydoodles with the
inside twist and become an archi-
tect, just as his father suggested.
Well, baseball lost an awfully
good curve ball pitcher, but the
'United States gained one Of its
most famous architects.
HARRY'S FATHER-If you doubt
that Harry made a good choice,
suppose you take a look at the Lin
coin Memorial building the next
time you visit Washington, D. c.
The same hands that struck out
batsmen designed that memorial.
Harry's versatile hands also de-
signed many other famous build
ings in the nation, and they all
stand firm, straight, and beautiful.

COMMITTEE CUTS
MAY BRING FIGHT
Next Congress Expected To
Accept Salary Boost,
Balk Changes

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 up -
Belief that Congress will readily
accept it's salary boost and pen
sion plan, but not adopt, as is, a
committee consolidation program
when il reconvenes next January
was expressed Monday by two
key legislators.
Reps, Clarence Brown, (R-Ohio)
and Eugene Cox D-Ga.) said they
expect a delay of 80 to go days in
making effective the committee re-
organization, so it can be revised.
The two, who made their pre-
dietinnss in separate interviews,
differed as to the likely degree OF
revision. Cox said he expected tex
tensive" changes. Brown reported
he looks for only two or three
major switches.
In the reorganization bill, as it
passed the last Congress, the Sen
ate committees would be cut from
SO to Is and the Houes groups
from 48 20 10. Also, legislators
in most cases would be limited to
membership on n committee, in
stead of anywhere from three to
eight, as at present.
Senators Byrd (D-Va.) and
Hatch D-NM) have told news
men they will fight any attempt to
postpone the adoption of the plan
in their chamber. Senator O'Ma-
honey CD-Wyop has commented,
however, that no action Of a past
Congress can be binding On a flu
ture one and said some changes
might be required. .
The salary section of the plan
boosts pay of all members from
$40, 900 to SIP, 500 yearly. l. also
makes permanent ( temporary an
nual tax-free expense fund of ST.
500. The pension vrovision makes
members eligible for retirement
benefits if they contribute to a
civil service fund.
The reorganization measure,
which was approved in the clos
ing days of the 10th Congress, is
written so that all its provisions
can be adopted by a routine reso-
luton whereby each chamber ap-
proves the rules of the previous
one. The lobbyist section already
is in effect.
The wording of the resolution
can be such as to delay action on
any sections specified, however,
and Brown and Cox said the fight
would he on this question.

MANTEO, Sept. 2.-R,- The

There was little ceremony con

of the theater for a brief party.
