Prominent members of the med
1cal profession and their wives were
among the guests at the dinner
given last evening in the Chinese
room at the Mayfower by DR.. and
Mrs. Herbert Ramsey.
The former Surgeon General of
the Navy and Mrs. Ross T. Nc
1ntire, who returned Sunday from
the West Coast, were guests of
honor at the party which was the
first they had attended together in
washington in three months.
Admiral and Mrs. McIntire went
to Coronado, Calf, to spend Christ
mas with the latter's mother, Mrs.
Mary B. Palmer, and Mrs. McIntire
remained there until last week. The
Admiral, however, returned to his
duties in Washington after a
months visit out West, but went
back to Coronado in time to ac-
company his wife home.
The Surgeon General of the Army
and Mrs. Norman T. Kirk headed
the list of guests at the dinner last
night honoring Admiral and Mrs.
McIntire. Others in the company
were the Surgeon General of the

marketing of goods or services" he
explained. "Monopolistic pressure
makes it impossible for the small
businessman to get on his feet"
Mr.. Ballinger declared that unless
something is done to tliberate COM
petition from its thraldom to mon-
nopoiy" the Nation faces an Inn
pending crisis:
Competitive System Urged.
Competition must be restored at
the level Of management in bank
ing, industry, transportation and
distribution" the speaker empha-
sized. Monopoly controls in agri-
culture will have to be closed out.
Competition will have to be re-
stored at the level of labor and its
operation regionally made effective.
American capitalism cannot survive
half free enterprise and half mo-
nopoly. The big banker and busi-
nessman, the farmer and the worker
have all got to 60, back to capital
ism or they will 60 blindly forward
into the bureaucratic labyrinths of
an American totalitarian state"
In question-answer period the
economist declared the only way to
avert disaster is for the United
States to have q new antitrust pol
icy with teeth In 1t.
We must have, he said, "a new
antitrust policy with adequate pen.
alties, adequate enforcement funds,
personnel sympathetic with its
purposes and new laws from Con-
gress If we are to profit from the
failure Of the Sherman law and
the Federal Trade Commission" :.
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin, the
president, presided and introduced

Monobolies Threaten Natiou,
Washington Club Is Told
By Gretchen Smith
Women's club Editor

A frank and challenging denun-
citation Of monopolies which, he
asserted, are responsible for most Of
the economic ills Of the Nation was
presented by Willis j. Ballinger be-
fore the Washington club yesterday.
Mr.. Ballinger, former economic
adviser to the Federal Trade Com
mission, whose book by Vote Of
the People, recently came of the
press, declared that monopoly, which
gives to q few control that belongs
to many, has seeped into every
channel OF national life.
The speaker described how mo-
nopoly controls over long-term credit
had been maintained by few pow
erful investment houses for over a
half century and then how monopoly
took over the Nations transporta-
ton system.
Monopoly Blamed for Slums.
The latter monopoly, he declared,
''has produced both economic and
sociological tragedy" Transporta-
tion monopoly, he added, has been
responsible for the Nations giant
cities as well as its hideous slums.
Transportation monopoly causing a
discriminatory freight rate system
on railroads has prevented both the
South and the West from becoming
centers Of gerat industries such as
exist in the East and the Midwest,
he asserted.
mo Communist could have
thought up more ingenious scheme
to generate mass discomfort and
breed Communists in America than
this system of discriminatory freight
rates." the speaker declared.
Monopoly now has spread to agri-
culture and labor, Mr.. Ballinger
continued, until competitive business
in every field of national activity
is being strangled.
"The essence of monopoly is the

Usually they are the guests of honor
as they were at this luncheon

The club itself gave this midday
affair so that the members and
their friends could meet the women
who are keeping the men on Cap

Dinners on Party Calendar;
Lord lnvercbabel Is Host

It would seem that Capitalites

The daily engagement book indi-
Gates that when socialites are not
1unching they are apt to be partak-
ing Ct the afternoon hors d'oeuvre,
and when not engaged in the latter
thoughtful pursuit they are more
than likely to be dining or at least
supping au buffet. Judging from
yesterdays calendar they did all
three, with an emphasis on the din
ing.
The British Ambassador, Lord
1nyerchapel, was host at stag
dinner last evening in honor of
the visiting British Minister of Food
Mr. John Strachey. The party
ended day of activities for the
visitor. Mr.. Morris Hutton, head
of the British Food Mission here,
gave a stag luncheon for him, and
in the afternoon the British In
formation Services gave cocktail
party in his honor, obviously COM
blning business with pleasure. The
guests were the British press cor
respondents in Washington.
This evening Mr.. Strachey will
dine informally with the British
Minister, Sir John Balfour, and
Lady Balfour, when the Canadian
Ambassador and Mrs. Hume Wrong

officer will leave Washington to-
morrow and sail for London On

Brewers and Firemen
CIashing Today for
City Series Title

Local sandlot baseball at it's best
was to be viewed on the South
Elipse today as the Heurich Brewers
and the District Fire department
mines clash for the city Series cham
pionship at 4:45.
The Brewers, Industrial League
champions, are undefeated in three
series games, but barely nosed out
the Firemen by pushing across the
only run of the game ina the last
inning when the two teams met in
the first week of series play.
That loss to the Brewers is the
only one suffered by the Firemen
but it takes only two to be elimi-
mated from this double knockout
tourney and Heurich will be out to
clinch the crown today. If the
Firemen win, however, both teams
square off again tomorrow.
The Brewers and the Firemen,
Recreation East League title-hold-
ers, are all that remain of seven
league champions who began the
series play two weeks ago.
Bowling out in the first week of
play were the Robins of the Capital
Transit League and the Recreation
Anacostia League Champion Under

Prince Georges Team
Upsefs Predictions
In Golf Triumph

The Cloverleaf Invitation tourna-
ment at Columbia Country Club is
only two years old and, in both
tournaments the galleryites have
been way off on their score pre-
diction.
Last year Kenwood won with a
301 total in the tournament where
the combined score of the club pro-
fessional, mems and women's cham
pions and senior titlist decides the
winner. That was several strokes
lower than expected and they said
the count would stand for years.
But yesterday a well-balanced
Prince Georges team came along
with 296 total, or an average of
IA per player, to beat Kenwood's
score by five strokes and the second
best team, Chevy Chase, by eight.
OF course, Columbia was not as
tough as it can be. Play was from
the middle tees, which means the
men played the course shorter, but
the women found it a trif1e longer.
George Voigt, who seemingly gets
better with age, paced the winners
with a -under-par 68, one stroke
better than Pro AL Houghton with
a SO. Senior Jess Baggett had 70
and Mrs. Marie Walper an So, with
a near-disastrous eight on the 18th
hole. That added to 296.

Fine SondIot HurIinq Feots

Jack Lyons, Jack Freeberger, John
Crescent and Ralph FRASER occupy
loftier positions today in the eyes of
their teammates as a result of
pitching performances in yesterdays
sandlot baseball.
Lyons helped Potomac boost its
record to five straight in the second
half play of the Montgomery County
League by hurting no-hit ball
against Cissel-Saxton as Potomac
won, 60. He retired the first "a

Two Revenge Fights
lon Graziano Card at
Ball Park Tonight

Revenge is the motive behind two
of the three eight-rounders heading
tonight's fight show at Griffith Sta
dunn. Sonny Boy West will be out
to get even with Harry Lasane and
Kid Wolfe has the same idea when
he tangles with AL Wright. In ad-
dition to these return bouts, there's
another of the same length sending
Aaron Perry out along the comeback
trail In a fight against Bobby Cum
mings.
Big attraction tonight will be an
exhibition by Middleweight Cham
pion Rocky Graziano. He dons the
padded gloves and headgear for four
rounds against a heavyweight SPAR
ring partner who can take his hefty
blows Another little feature will be
presentation of the Ring Magazine
championship belt to Graziano by
Nat Fleischer.
West wants to get back in his
winning stride tonight. and he wants
particularly to beat Lasane. West
had won all IA of his pro fights until
he tangled with Lasane earlier this
month. Lasane took unanimous
decision in six rounds. That wasn't
the wayit was supposed to be, be-
cause West was in the midst of
buildup campaign designed to make
him main-eventer by this winter.
Lasane showed himself as a fight
er who could go after and catch
West. West had won a number of
his fights just by not being there
when his opponent swung, but La
sane proved, just as fast and forced
the fight all the way. It was a good
bout, and tonight's fight figures to
be another good one.
Wolfe, seeking revenge against
Wright tonight, is an interesting
case. Here's a fighter who looks
like million bucks in the gym. He's
the towns most popular sparring
partner, working hard all afternoon
every day against anybody who
wants action around the gym. Mid
dleweights, Neutrality-suspicious. and
heavies, they're all alike to him.
He has put on fights up at Liberty
A. c. gym in sparring sessions that
are better than some main events.
But out at the ball park and in
regular bout, he's just another
fighter who has trouble winning.
Two four-rounders also will be on
the program, which starts at 8:45
pm. Promoter Goldie Ahern has
sliced his usual price from $40 tops
to Sc for this all-star card.

How can the nations hopes of really
helping solve the worlds problems be
sincere as long as it continues to bob
BILE the domestic ones, such as strikes
and the high cost of living?
That's a quite common question as
the United States sets forth with new
determination to do it's full share in
righting a world left topsy-turvy by
its greatest war.
Washington, we believe, would be
surprised if it really knew how much
closer the average American is watch
ing the accumulation of home problems
rather than the mess overseas. When
the perplexing questions closer at hand
are cleared, those farther away will
lose some of their darker hue. They
always have. The world naturally

the welfare Of its individual nations.

The only mar they will listen to is
a highway patrolman.
They apparently have no intention
of observing safety practices unless
forced to and the only power to make
them do it is the patrolman. Therefore,
with a patrol double its present size,
it is quite reasonable to presume that
the campaign against these highway
