Dodger Flag Hopes Hit
AS lanier Of Cards
Retains His Hex
By Jack Hand
Assoeioted Press Sports Writer

Chubby Max Lanier, with 10
straight victories over Brooklyn to
his credit, may be the decisive factor
in the National League race if it
narrows down to the Dodgers and
Cardinals.
It's much too early to eliminate
anybody from the flag chase, except
the Phillies, but the early season re-
suits point to a duel between ST.
Louis and Brooklyn. The Red Biros,
off to suffering start, closed the
gap to one game yesterday by down.
ing the Brooks, Us, in II innings.
Eddie Dyer is new as skipper of
the Cardinals, but he knew the an
swer when he got to Brooklyn for
the first time. He started Lanier,
the Dodgers hex.
Not since June 2, 1943, has the
Flatbush Flock been able to cut
down the crafty lefthander from
Denton, N. C. Lanier beat the
Brooks four times after that 80 set
back in '43 and five in a row in 1914
He didn't pitch against them last
year before he went into the Army.
In the 10-game victory span he
has allowed the flock only 73 safe
blows in an even 100 innings.
Marion's Hit Decides.
Durocher's gang gave Lanier a
good battle, coming back from a
SO deficit on some lusty slugging
by Billy Herman and Dixie Walker
to send the contest into overtime
With the bases loaded and two out
in the 18th, Marty Marion punched
a two-run single to centerfleld that
doomed the home club. Reliefer Vic
lombard was charged with the
Brooks first Ebbets Field loss of the
season after nine successes.
Jim Wallace, another lefty, spark
led in the other National League
fray, when he hurled the Braves to
81 edge over Pittsburgh in Bos-
ton. The Bucs were able to touch
Wallace for only four hits while the
home club banged Starter Kenny
Gables for nine
Games between the Chicago Cubs
and Phillies and Cincinnati Reds
and New York Giants were rained
out as was Philadelphia Cleveland
contest in the American.
Ferriss Outhurls Haynes.
Dave Ferriss was the big gun in
the junior loop when he outpitched
Joe Haynes in tight duel to blank
Chicago, 80. Rudy York's towering
homer in the fourth and his double
in the seventh boosted Ferriss along
the way to his fourth straight.
The Red Sox maintained their
5a-game lead over the New York
Yankees who dropped out of the
clouds and beat st. Louis, 62. All
the Yank runs came from homers
by Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey and
Joe Gordon.

to the demoralized demand of
people at home.
There can be no defense of
circumstances that compel men,
with credit for years fighting, to
stay abroad when thousands of
men in camps in this country,
who have not left the continent,
are dismissed from service in
stead of being shipped overseas
to relieve the veterans.
The way to relieve the situa-
ton, and to give justice to the
veterans, is not to issue orders
for wholesale discharges abroad
but to reconsider releases given
in this country and, if necessary,
draft enough men to relieve
those overseas who have higher
priority in points.

- - fA""' SpeciHA "aShiI
Alcoa Releases Patents
Fol Aluminium Process
For some weeks the Govern
ment has been attempting to
dispose of some of its aluminium
production plants but w. Stew
art Symington, Surplus Property
Administrator, recently charged
that the Aluminium Company OF
America was Withholding its
patents TO obstruct the sale of
the plants to competitors and
that the Company was attempt
ing TO secure the more desirable
plants for itself to increase and
solidify its own monopoliStic
position"
The allegation, regardless of
its accuracy when made, has
been disposed of by the agree
ment of the Company to grant
the free use of its aluminium pro-
duction patents to the Govern
ment, with the right to sub
license them to companies leas-
ing Government-owned plants.
As a result, it is expected that
several of the alumina plants
viii be sold to other interests.
The Department of Justice has
a proceeding pending against
the Aluminium Company of
America, under the antitrust
laws, but Attorney General
Clark voices his qualification
over the development, which
ne declares is entirely in line
with the objective" of the Gov
eminent in pending litigation.
While we do not know the
motives behind the arrangement
announced, we think that the
Aluminium Company, should be
commended for its present at
titude. Certainly, the people of
this country are entitled to the
production of aluminium on Il
large scale and there should be
some way to take advantage of
The plants constructed by the
Government for war purposes.

less liberal and governmental
expenditures les extravagent.
This brings up the question.
Who wants a balanced budget?
The answer is nobody, unless it
can be accomplished at the ex-
pense of other beneficiaries of
federal spending.
Big business, in spite of its
fearful pleas for an end of de-
ficit financing, does not want
to balance the budget If it
means no reductions in taxes
and, possibly, higher levies.
Labor leaders do not want
it if it means governmental
pressure to prevent wage in
creases that may lead to a dan
gerous initiation. Farmers do
not want it if it means an end
OF governmental support for
farm prices.
In fact, the statements made
about big business, labor leaders
and farmers can be made about
practically every citizen. There
is no reason for anybody to ex-
pect balanced budget in view
OF this popular frame of mind.
When federal expenditures go
down, there will arise demands
for tax reductions or larger
benefits. Few voices will arise
for holding on to high taxes in
order to set the governments
financial house in order.

The change in the city budget
