O'Mahoney Disagrees.
Taking an opposite view, Senator
O'Mahoney called it perfectly
absurd" for the majority to submit
an estimate of increased receipts
and decreased expenditures, with no
bill of particulars"
Senator OMahoney said it was
clear they had upped the revenue
without regard to the facts of eco
nomic life, or the needs"
Chairman Taft of the Senate Re-
publican Policy Committee called a
meeting of that group for tomorrow
morning, to discuss the budget situa-
ton, and said it might be followed
by conference of all Republican
Senators.
Senator Taft was one of the Re-
publican Senators who supported
the Millikin proposal for a $4,50O,-
100000 limit on cuts Friday, before
voting final approval of the $6,o00,-
100000 limit in the joint committee
meeting.
Won't Say How He'll Vote.
Senator Taft said he questioned
whether the $6,000,000,0 cut did
not involve a larger Army Navy
reduction than was desirable" add
ing that the difference between that

IN u SPORTS PAN
BY Roy Cook


Word from Greensboro yesterday afternoon indicates
tbe Wilmington Pirate baseball club will be given CPA
.nnroyal to continue construction of their new baseball
stadium. The local owners, irked at the high rent charged
Nv the county commissioners for their use of the American
legion Stadium, decided to build a park of their own.
Perhaps the local owners were q bit hasty in making
nreparations for the stadium and perhaps they Just neg
kcted to get the CPA permit for the construction. since
thew figured no critical materials would be used in the
stadium. But from information gathered by Gil Smith.
snorts editor Of the Wilmington News. there should not be
INV trouble in getting the approval of the CPA.
Chester O. Ensign, manager of the District CPA Of
flee in Greensboro, told the News the application of the
Buc owners would be handled at once, and he predicted
approval.
- l. M. Pollock, president of the Buccaneers. EXPRESSED
the opinion that he expected an early approval of the ap-
pEcation. The club officials have all the necessary ma
teriais for the construction on hand, Pollock stated:
Some definite action on the new stadium is expected
soon and Pollock remarked the Buccaneers will begin spring
training at Legion Stadium, unless the park is completed
BY them, which looks impossible at this date.
The owners Of the Glass D team decided to build the
stadium after several meetings with the county commits
sioners failed to bring a satisfactory agreement on the
terms of rental.
The commissioners sought to rent the stadium at a
flat rate OF ten per cent Of the gross gate receipts with
the concessions being leased to separate interests. The
baseball owners wanted the use of the field for the same
amount, something like $500, they paid last year plus the
right to operate the concessions during their games at the
park.
The final agreement reached by the commissioners and
club owners would allow the Pirates to rent the Stadium
for twelve per cent of the gross gate receipts. The con-
cessions being operated by the ball club. After this agree
ment had been reached, Pollock announced plans to build
the new park would be continued, with the club using the
Legion facilities until their park was completed.
According to the plans for the proposed new stadium.
It will be more suitable for baseball games than Legion
Stadium. The only disadvantage is the fact that the locat-
ion is farther from the city than Legion Stadium. How
ever,the distance will not afford any great handicap to the
fans. as ample bus transportation may be secured.
We hope the Greensboro office of the CPA will grant
approval Immediately on the application so the owners can
resume work. Wilmington certainly needs another base
ball PARK and the Pirate owners are trying hard to pro-
vide it.
