Senator's Says Taxes
May Not Be Reduced

WASHINGTON, April 5 - B -
Senator Edwin c. Johnson 3D.
Colo.) said today that an expan'
sion of the Greece-Turkey aid
program to extend financial as
sistance to other nations may kill
chances for tax reduction this
year.
Johnson, a member of the SEN
ate Finance Committee which ex'
poets to begin hearings soon on
a house-approved tax bill. told
reporters:
IF the Russians should resist
our intervention in Turkey, that
would probably result in war. 1t
would cost us 500, 900, 600, 900 then
instead OF 500, 900, 000."

Common Rivals 10
Impress CIV. 6. IT,,

If American University can pile up
the points while playing team that
is scheduled to meet Georgetown,
George Washington or Maryland,
the Eagles may be excused since
Coach Staff Cassell is anxious to
beat all common opponents by big
ger scores-or at least make a bet
ter showing-hoping for late sea-
son showdown.
At one time the Eagles were half
way promised dates with their three
larger rivals this year, but the games
fell through. Thus Cassell is bank
ing on comparative scores to show
he belongs in the same company.
Beat Terrors by 16 Points.
Last night the Eagles met Western
Maryland, team the University of
Maryland defeated by five points
and the Eagles won by 16 points, 65
to 40, although Cassell used three
teams. Immediately after the holi-
days, twice in one week, A. U. meets
Quantico, a team that G. w. de-
feated by two points and George
town by seven, Penn State, a future
Georgetown opponent and Loyola,
conqueror of Maryland. Those games
will give American U. more of case
if it could turn in impressive VIC
tories.

too much about him as a pitcher.
He was the best of them all in
my book"
Getting to see big league games
in those days was a rare treat
and no mean feat for a teen
aged youngster, considering all
the economic factors. During the
summer, when he visited his
aunt. the late Annie Elizabeth
Bealle at her home at 6O6 M
street NV, Bealle toted market
baskets home from the present
Center Market at Fifth and K
streets NV, to earn bleacher
money for the old American
League park at Thirteenth and
Florida avenue NE. A dime was
big tip those days, and the
baskets were heavy because the
dollars went much farther than
their modern, short winded sue
cessors.
Bealle was a New Yorker by
birth, who was REARED in Balti-
more and adopted Washington.

behind the plate without a mask
until one tooth was knocked out.
Bealle didn't 60 to the big

the urge, but rather saved his

around for bargain bills. 1t had

spelled that way, and not Della

have it, Mr.. Printer.
He hit 'em a mile-all line

how he powdered that old. dead
ball, I'd call him greater bat
ter than Babe Ruth. I've often
wondered what he would have
done to a rabbit ball.
Bealles family later moved to
Washington and he had two
years at Tech High School before
striking out on his own. He was
a 12O-pound substitute end be-
hind the late Brig. Gen. David
Ditty) Brewster at Tech under
Coach Clarence Hecox. But base
ball was his game. He played
third base and was good enough
to win a job with the Berlin
Eastern Shore League club in
1918. Ten years later, while direct
ing the Near East Relief Office at
Raleigh, N. c., he still was good
enough to play part time for the
Raleigh Capitals of the Piedmont
League. That's where he met and
married attractive Peggy Walton.
Bealle got an eyeful Of Softball
during Veterans of Foreign Wars
convention at Milwaukee in 1884
and came home to introduce the
sport. He drafted Tots" Long,
"Untz" Brewer, "Shag" Rawlings
and Johnny Bleier, all veteran
ball players, for the first Victory
Post American Legion team.
II thought the shorter bases
prolong our baseball careers" he
smiled, "but the game was so fast
it put us all on the bench quicker
than We expected"
Bealle built his first softball
stadium at New York avenue and
Bladensburg road In 194l, but
war and gas rationing ruined him
the following year and Bill
Kavakos took 1t over. Now the
pair of them are planning a new
park in nearby Maryland, but
first Bealle's got to dispose OF a
mountain Of writing. He can do
it, having served as day city
editor of the old Washington
Times under the late and famous
Arthur Brisbane.
Or maybe he'll draw stadium
plans with one hand and write
with the other. He could do
that too,

"I'd read books about several
big league baseball teams and
wanted to read one on the Wash
ington Senators, but none had
been written. So I did 1t my
self" began Morris Bealle, ex-
planning his sudden outpouring
of books on sports.
II was curious about George
town football and couldn't find
anything about it, so I dug back
into the files and pretty soon I
had a book on it. I'm almost
through my biography on Walter
Johnson" he continued. &c. P.
Putnan's Sons are going to pub
lish it. and I've got a staff doing
research on my next book, Gang
way for Navy which will be
about football at the Naval Acad-
emy. After that I may do one
on George Washington and Mary
land. but first I want to get these
out of the way"
That, briefly, explains Bealle's
1est for sports and attitude to-
ward writing. If you can't find
what you want. write it yourself
is his motto, and it gives promise
Of paying handsome dividends.
Our first encounter with the
gentleman was in a haphazard
sort of way when he was pro-
noting softball, then novelty in
this neck of the woods. He al
ways seemed in hurry, always
hustling off to the next chore
and he's the same way about
writing. The book about the
Washington baseball team was
eight months in the works, count
ing all the research, although
Bealle had myriads Of odds and
ends tucked away in his memory
for such use. The Georgetown
opus was q quickie-finished in
three months, thanks to the
splendid cooperation of author
tiles at the Hilltop, and the john
son book has been bubbling in
his mind since he first learned
to peck out stories on . type
