Brooklyn A. C.; Thomas Club in CA [. Headliner
 Froncos And
 Hearts Paired

If the Brooklyn A. c. can hand the hustling North End Thomas club it's first setback tomorrow, the club from across the bridge stands a very good chance of waltzing into the second round championship of the City Amateur league. The game is scheduled for No. l field at 4 and indications are that one of the sea sons largest crowds will be on hand for the vital tussle
 The Brooks have won four out of five starts this round and will be heavy favorites to beat the Sacred Hearts in the final game of the sec ond series week hence if they are equal to their task in tomorrow S crucial tilt.
 The Washington Hills could tie the Brooklyns for second round hon. ors in this event, but Pat Quilter's crew would be confronted with the Tribunes and Tommies after they finish up their seasons business with the Aviglianese tomorrow in the opener on No at 1:45.
 In the other games on tomor- rows slate, the Tribes and Florio Post tangle on No. 2 at :45 and the Franco-Americans will be facing the Sacred Hearts on No 2 at o'clock.
 The Tommies have been display ing fine brand of ball this round behind the effective pitching of big Dick Redman. However. the north siders are weak in reserves and with the Frances and Hills to be met after the Brooklyns, Johnny Lau- ria's men are just beginning to face the rough side of the leagues roster.
 Schedule Favors Brooks
 In Second Round
 From here in. regardless of the importance of every game, it will be unlike the first round when clubs could go out and get added strength. And basing selections on present strength. the Brooks appear to have it as well as the breaks" of sched- ule.
 Johnny Miller, the B. A. c. curve ball artist who has been setting down all opposition with compar- ative ease, will be on the hill to- morrow with Jack Reardon or Frank Pandolfo behind the plate. Red man and White will comprise the Tommies battery.
 "Diz" Decker. Avigs' ace, will start against the Hills and Deck" wants to beat the Hills more than any other club In the league for the simple reason that he was once Hitler himself and was replaced on the roster for alleged loss of con- trol Ralph Bradley. who came up with an amazing mound exhibition against the Frances last Sunday, will be Pat Cutters choice to keep the upper Baldwin St. Clubs pen nant hopes alive.
 The Tribes are regarded as cap able of taking Florio Post without too much trouble and the Francos should rack their second victory when they meet the Sacred Hearts. It will be Breezy Bedruzcyk for the Trenches and Wales on the mound for the Hearts. The standing:

Redskin-Blue Jay
 Protest Undecided

The Redskin-Blue Jay protest was aired in the office of Bill Derwin, supervisor of recreation, last night but no decision was arrived at. The Redskins have charged that the stalling tactics of the Blue Jays was the thing that cost them a ball game, in the Public Parks League.
 Ii was decided last night that the protest would be placed before a committee comprised either of three high school coaches or three Anna teur League managers. In this way the managers of the two teams concerned believe that they will get an impartial hearing.

Church Gets
 Bowes Estote

New York, July - (UP) - The late Major Edward Bowes, who amassed s4,500,O00 in radio and real estate, left the bulk of his fortune more than ,0O0,00o-to the Major Bowes Fund of St. Patrick's Cath edral, New York City, according to the terms of his will.
 Requests ranging from S2,5OO to $50 900 were left friends and rela- t1ves, but the greater portion of the estate was given the Cathedral to be administered by Bowes' longtime friend, Francis Cardinal Spellman, head of the Catholic diocese of the city of New York.
 The will, executed Feb. 15, 1945, before Spellman was made card inal, directed that Spellman shall in his sole discretion use and dis perse the funds for the beautifca- ton of the interior and exterior of St. Patrick's Cathedral or for the use of such charitable institutions as, in the sole discretion of his excellency, Archbishop Spellman shall accomplish the most good, his excellency knowing my desire to help the poor, the sick, the widowed the orphaned and the sisters"
 BoWes, who died June B at the age of 72, had neither wife nor chil- dren. He left 62 bequests ranging from $500 to $10,000 to charitable institutions representing all creeds and races.

Hogs, Cattle
 Pourin Yards

Chicago, July 2-(UP)-Hogs and cattle poured into major midwest ern stockyards today, with early hog receipts at Chicago stockyards the largest since Jan. g, 1945. Prices dropped s2 or more from yesterdays high.
 Early hog receipts at Chicago were 1900o, up 15,ooo from the pre- vious day and up 18,o0o from last Friday, the last full days operations under OPA ceilings.
 Cattle receipts were $500, up 1000 from yesterday and up S,7oo higher than Friday
 Whether the sharp upsurge in receipts will continue was matter for debate among market experts. It was noted that the early top for hogs was s16 a hundredweight, about S250 under the best prices of the previous day. The market was slow.
 Of eight leading midwestern mar kets, Indianapolis reported the larg- est hog receipts and Omaha the largest cattle receipts.
 Indianapolis had 10000 hogs, as compared with 1,194 last Friday and about HOO a year ago. The market was uneven, and as much as s lower than yesterday.
 At dozen leading western mar kets, hog receipts were 111,70O, com pared with 54,500 year ago and 23 400 a week ago.

SnyderSees Higher Foxes

Washington, July 2. (UP)-Secre- tary Of the Treasury John W. Shy der said today that if prices are aI- lowed to rise with no further con- trolS, it would be normal to ex- pect taxes to follow prices In his first news conference since taking office, Snyder said both cor porate and individual taxes would have to be raised if price controls were not revived and price levels were allowed to skyrocket.
 He expressed strong hope, how ever, that Congress would approve satisfactory bill to revive the rent, wage and price controls which expired Sunday midnight
 Snyder said the Administration planned no new tax bill this year, indicating it would oppose any ef- preciable element of imitation con- tinued to threaten the nations economy.
 He said it would be tough sled- ding" to balance the fiscal l947 budget, but we will try and I am hopeful that we will make it.
 He said the terminal pay bill now before Congress was one of the principal reasons a balanced budget would be difficulty to achieve.
 Snyder said virtually all refunds of Individual taxes for the calen- dar year 1945 had been completed by last Sunday.
 He said fiscal 1946 represented a material improvement in the na- tions fiscal picture.

Retailers Firm
Wholesalers Pump mHation Balloon
By UNITED PRESS

Skyrocketing wholesale prices entrusted today with "hold the line pledges from many retailers.
 Spurred by administration warn ings of stiffer increases to come, the House of Representative approved temporary legislation resurrecting price controls until July 20. But strong Senate opposition threatened to block the bill for at least a week.
 Scattered reports of sharp rent increases prompted the governors of Alabama, New Jersey and Massa- chusetts to freeze rentals at the old OPA levels.
 Governors Helpless
 In other states, some governors said they had no such emergency powers, others called meetings to discuss the situation.
 The Los Angeles City Council voted to hold rents at the June 30 level. The Chicago Real Estate Board advised its members not to raise rents for two weeks. %
 Wholesale prices on staple com modities-grain livestock and cot ton-spurted upward.
 Experts predicted that the in- creases inevitably must be reflected in retail bread meat and clothing prices.
 Meat Prices Soar
 Livestock prices jumped Sl to S5 a 100 pounds at midwestern markets. At Chicago cattle rose to s22 a 100 pounds-s4 over the old OPA ceil- ing and 50 cents above the all-time high in December, 1919
 The Chicago Board of Trade an- nounced that g wheat was back on the market for the first time since 1925.
 OPA Administrator Paul Porter described the sharp rise in stock and commodity markets as an "om- inous sign that the spectators are already placing their bets on infla- tion."
 A Chicago produce dealer said he could not buy apples or oranges on the wholesale market because the price had risen so high. At San Francisco, watermelons when up four cents a pound.
 Veteran Shocked
 Butter-priced at 63 cents a pound under the OPA ceiling-went up to as much as 94 cents in Wash ington, D. c. groceries. Some Chic ago housewives complained that milk had gone up two cents quart.
 The OPA reported that whiskey was selling for $25 more a case in Chicago and a specially store was selling nylons for S3 a pair.

To Erect Homes
 Cinder-block Factory Constructed ir1 Citv

Construction of a cinder- block factory has been started at the rear of Bradley Avenue by Floyd Ras- mussen, prominent local real estate dealer, as preliminary step to erecting large number of cinder block homes in the Sunrise Park project and other sections of the city.
 MT. Rasmussen said about 30 one family houses will be erected in the Town Plot project early next year, and that the new material, which cuts down use of lumber to a mini mum, will be used by his firm in other parts of the city.
 People must produce the things that are necessary for building in order to relieve the housing shortage, and that's what we had in mind when we started plans for our cinder-block factory" MT. Ras- mussen stated.

Senate Sidetracks House
 OPA Bill; Works on Own
Washington, July 2-(UP)

Washington, July 2-(UP) Senate leaders decided to- day to sidetrack a stopgap OPA bill passed by the House and try instead for a one-year extension acceptable to President Truman.
 The decision agreed upon by both friends and foes of the OPA was based on the belief that an entire new price control formula can be handled in the Senate almost as speedily as the 20-day extension whipped through the House yester- day.
 Senate action is hardly likely be- fore the end of this week, however, because of the stubborn opposition of Sen. w. Lee O'Daniel, (D.-Tex0 to even a tempirary revival of any price controls. .-.... ~=+ ...- Can Block Action Alone
 Under Senate rules ODaniel can single-handedly block floor consid- eration of the House-approved stop gap bill, or any other measure to l extend OPA, until Thursday. Administration forces were en- couraged by the Houses 283 to-6l vote for at least the 20-day exten- sion. They saw it as evidence that an overwhelming majority of the House doesn't want price controls abolished completely
 There was widespread belief, l however that if the Senate changes 1t into a one-year extension with congressional restrictions against air-tight price control, the House would go along
 Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R.-O), chairman of the Senate Republican Steering Committee and a leader in framing the much amended mea- sure Mir. Truman vetoed last week, predicted the Senate Banking Com mittee could produce new one year extension bill by Thursday.
 Would Insist on Restrictions
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben i W. Barkley, Ky, believed it inevit- 1 able that the Senate undoubtedly would insist upon imposing some restrictions. He admitted he was working informally on some com promise ideas but refused to dis close details
 One of his principal jobs seemed to be finding a substitute for the so-called Taft Amendment to allow manufacturers price adjustments that would compensate for cost in creases since 1941. MT. Truman aimed most of his veto message at that provision.
 Taft told reporters he was willing to "compromise" on that amend nent.
 I'd be willing to set 194O as the base year. since the President ob- jected to strenuously that 194l rep resented huge profits" Taft said. "At any rate, it would get rid of the 193639 base which the OPA now is using"
 WISE Continues Work
 The Wage Stabilization Board ordered regional offices to issue rul- ings on all cases on which action was completed up to last Saturday. It ordered that no final action be taken on l,5O0 other pending cases. WSB will continue to accept for docketing any new cases for action If and when Congress gives it new authority.
