TradeDeals In Baseball
 Are if, Air
By HERB ALTSCHULL

PHILADELPHIA, May 6-IR-It seemed likely today that those spring trade winds kicking up the rain -dampened diamond dust may be whipped into a gale in the next 10 days.
 A radio announcer joined the fun by popping LID last night with a report that the St. Louis Cardin- als had traded Marty Marion and George Kurowski to the Chicago Cubs.
 This brought hundreds of frantic telephone queries and frenZied dis cussion before Cubs general man ager Jimmy Gallagher and Card owner Sam Breadon turned off the tap by denying it.
 Rumors of the Cards parceling off MT. Sholtstop Marion and long hitting Whitey Kurowski, a third baseman, are nothing new. The Phillies were reported to have o1- fered s250.000 and players for the two last winter.
 Slice Club Rosters
 The uproar caused by the rumor was pretty clear indication of the state cf baseball affairs as the Major Leagues neared the May 15 deadline for slicing club rosters to 25 players.
 Most of the trade talk involves Branch Rickey's Brooklyn Dodgers who last week dealt out five players to the Pittsburgh Pirates for some S2C0,G00 cash and reserve outfielder Al Gionfriddo.
 But the Dodgers still have about 30 players in camp ana they must

Angels, Stars Meeting Today For First Time
By BILL BECKER

t4ASSOcidttu ttoS cpoA'' Nih~hI
 The Pacific Coast Leagues civil war is on again.
 That means, of course, those crosstown rivals, the Los Angeles Angels and the Hollywood Stars will go at each other this week for the first time in the 1947 season.
 The Angels are flying high in first place, and the Stars are lloundering in seventh. But position isn't factor when they meet each other
 Last year the Angels eked out a 15-13 edge over the Stars, but finished fourth, a notch back of their rivals
 Pitching has been the Angels strong point and they were ex- pected to lead with their ace, big southpaw Cliff Chambers of Bel lingham who has breezed through his first five straight.
 In an effort to bolster their somewhat spctty chucking., the Stars yesterday obtained right handler Hugh Orphan (4-2) from Sacramento in a straight trade for veteran righthander Frankie Dasso Q-4), who had trouble getting started. Orphan is up from Wen atchee of the Western International League.
 Another hot series this week finds San Francisco, only a game behind the Angels in second place, at San Diego, which has slipped to fourth after flying opening. The balance of the schedule puts Seattle at Oakland and Sacramento at Port land.

 Postponement Welcomed
 The entire card was drowned cut yesterday including the scheduled night game between the Cards and Braves at Boston.
 About the only teams that well ccn-ed the postponements were the Cardinals and Yankees. The wobbly Red Birds, still reeling over theii nine straight defeats which finally ended Sunday, probably could use these eff days to get themselves straightened cut. The Yankees don't mind the rest period because it will allow their star slugger, Joe Di- Maggie, more time in which to rest his ailing heel.

Dangerous Legislation

We are reminded by Mr.. Franklin Hich-
born of Santa Clara, California, that when
the colonists attempted their settlement at
Jamestown in 1907 their crops by royal
storehouse for five years and dispensed
among the settlers. Such records as exist
of those days indicate that "ths encouraged
the idle and the shiftless to live at the ex-
pense of the industrious"
Then came Captain John Smith, a dis
corning gentleman, who took over and de-
creed that those who did not work should
not eat. Mr.. Hichborn adds: "rhe Captain
John Smith idea of work for what you get
has been the basis of American prosperity
and advancement. 1t could very we'll be
impressed upon Europe and especially upon
displaced persons who are clamoring for
admittance into this country" He points out
that under the Stratton bill, which is pend
ing in Congress, displaced persons would
be able to enter the United States "by the
hundreds of thousands" and concludes that
there is now no more place in America for
shiftless individuals than in Captain John
Smiths time.

Mecklenberg Points The Way

In Mecklenberg county three Of the seven
ABC stores are open until o'clock p. m
The result is a marked decrease in boot
Logging and consequently, a marked in
crease in control. AS control is the chief OBJ
ject Of the ABC system of dispensing liquor
it goes without saying that Mecklenberg
is nearer the goal than, say, New Hanover
county, where legalzed liquor stores close
early and the bootleggers have the nights
to themselves
When one county sets good example in
the administration of any of it's affairs there
is no sound reason why another county
should not follow its lead
Certainly New Hanover county might ex-
pect to minimize bootlegging if it adopted

OF its five ABC stores open until 9 o'clock

I am venturing, therefore, to
make a few observations on the
relation of the eastern Euro
pean countries to the Marshall
plan. They are based on a num-
ber of off-the-record talks l had
with Communists, non-Commu-
nists, and anti-Communists in
Warsaw and Prague just a5-er
the sixteen western nations at
Paris had completed their re-
port.
1t is clear to me that the
prompt acceptance of the invi-
tation to participate in a Euro
pean program reflected the real
interests and sentiment of Po-
land and Czechoslovakia, the
two key countries within the
Soviet orbit. l am no less GER
tain that the command from
Moscow forbidding them to par
ticipate on pain Of a rupture of
their alliances was a hunilia-
ton which will long be remem-
bered. For it must never be for
gotten, no matter what the ap'
pear ances, that the Poles and
Czechs are intensely patriotic,
nationalistic peoples. 1t is i'm.

The program for the extraordinary ses
sion of Congress. which opens today. will
depend in some measure on the Presidents
message. But there seems to be no doubt
that the initial task will be what amount of
Christmas cash shall be appropriated for
relief for France, Italy and Austria. with
broader relief schedule, as proposed by
the Marshall plan, deferred until the regu-
lar session in January.
Senator Taft of Ohio is in agreement with
President Truman that interim aid for these
countries should be forthcoming promptly,
but there is strong probability that he will
insist upon substantial reductions in the
amount made available for each. And it is
not apparent that the House Foreign AT
fairs Committee will 60 along with Mr..
Truman in whatever total he names in his
message-if he names any definite amount
Thus, while both Senate and House lead
ers favor immediate relief there is no GER
tainty that there will not be prolonged de-
bate in each chamber and delay when the
two committees get together in joint session
to thresh out differences in the two bills.
So long as it is obvious that both branches
are agreed that aid should be forthcoming
measures to implement it could also be
brought into agreement before they are SUBJ
mitted for vote in as much as time is i'm
portant, and any avoidable delay would be
seized upon by the Soviet Union and it's
satellites as an excuse for fresh and violent
heckling

recovery requires a resumption
of trade and mutual aid between

say its disposition to gloss over
the crucial importance to the
success of the Marshall plan OF

from eastern Europe. The likeli-

by the Increased economic health
of the world.
If all this sounds like a lot OF
altruistic big talk from lunch
con club speech, from a selfish
and practical standpoint it has
been proved that the more in
dustrialized a foreign country
becomes, the better customer 1t
also becomes for America.
There are of course a number
of obvious drawbacks to the
Clifford plan. With natural pride,
European manufacturers may
say that they know as much
about efficient factory mango
ment as the Americans.
Representatives of CEEC, the
donation Committee on European
Economic Cooperation which
drew up the Paris report, have
already indicated that their SOW
ereign countries want no Ameri-
can interference in the way they
handle their affairs and utilize
the recovery funds advanced to
them under the Marshall plan.
American capitalists will have
to be sold on the idea that they
will not Just be building up COM
petitors who will later undersell
them in world trade. Reluctance
of some companies to donate
their best men will have to be
overcome. From the men them
selves there may be some feel
ing that work overseas will knock
them out of chances for promo
ton at home.
The motives of "Uncle Shy
lock" in this big-hearted gesture
are bound to be questioned. From
the Communists will come the
familiar chant that this is merely
another proof of how American
monopolists and Wall Street are
planning to take over Europe.
From Planner Gifford's point
of view, communism can best be
stopped by raising the worlds
standard of living. That can best
be done by direct application OF
the methods used in the worlds S
most productive free society-the
United States. Clifford believes
this is the biggest aid American
business can render in the present
emergency.
American businessmen, for
their part, will have to be con-
vinced that their own salvation
and prosperity depend on the
continuance of capitalism as a
going conceSn, abroad.
What the U. S. government has
to gain out of this international
industrial cooperation is insur-
ance that the American financed
recovery is accomplished with
minimum out lay and maximum
return.
