Cards Should Come Back

Ou' TO ototttu cOHle DuCh
No one expects the Cardinals to
keep f1uttering around the cellar
and the sWamps for any extended
length of time. But their earlier
crash up has left the National
League race wide open. Any pretty
fair ball club could step out and
win this pennant against so much
ragged and jittery opposition. No
flag winner has much to beat, un-
less Dyer's young men suddenly
throw aside their winding sheets
and play the ball they should have
played from the opening pitch.
On copy paper, they are still the
class of the league in every depart
ment of play. But you don't win
pennants on copy paper.
This 1947 National League pen
nant race may not be the fanciest
joust on record, but it should make
up in the way of action and upsets
what it lacks in class and form.
Giant power has been a spring sur
prise. So has improved Giant pitch
ing. Here seems to be a pennant
tlldl dlIilOSt any team can Wln-any
team willing to hustle and work a
little.
AS the old philosopher, Dizzy
Dean, puts it-"There are a lot Of
good ballplayers around, but no
good ball teams"
What looked to be one-club
stampede has now turned into
a four-or-fve-club scramble-mean-
ing Cubs, Braves, Cardinals, Giants
and Dodgers-with such teams as
the Phillies, Reds, and Pirates still
dreaming of the hour"
More Than Power
The great majority link Babe
Ru h S name with the word
power" They think of 235-pound
giant hammering out more than 700
home runs, with ball much less
lively than the one in use today. Too
many forget that the Babe also had
an all-around skill, a matter of
touch and timing, often approach
ing the delicate side, that certainly
matched his power.

the Hawaiians had the land. Now
the descendants of the missionaries

statement with no malice, and no ill
will. They are proud of their Ameri-
can citizenship, but they have a
longing for the grass skirts of yes
teryear. In many a home closet
such skirt is hanging. It may be
worn indoors but never outside the
house. We should let the new wards
keep both their grass skirts and
their land. Let them continue as the
happy, care-free children of nature.

who can protect a 5-or-6-run lead.
They find flock of normally 300
hitters swinging savagely at .I23
clip, often lucky to get foul. 1t is
nothing to see pitchers hand out
or passes in one inning, forcing
over important runs. Star pitchers
are far behind the $3.50 mark,
struggling desperately to last three
innings.
No one seemed to know whether
the first-division teams had slipped,
or the second-division teams had
moved far up. There was no way to
tell them apart, except to keep Won
dering how the tail-enG Cardinals
stayed where they were, as long as
they were allowed 10 carry bats to
the plate.
Anybody's Race No,u
We have made careful check of
the long list of games played in re-
cent weeks, and from this roundup,
it is impossible to locate sure first
division team, or to name a team
that can't win the pennant by
breaking just a trif1e better than
even.
Of course, this bizarre state of
affairs can't last much longer. One
or two teams are pretty sure to
stumble over the lost element of
consistency and move on forward.
But no one can tell you who these
teams will be.
The once ridiculed Giants sud-
denly rushed in with the best Of
tense in either league, backed up by
greatly improved pitching. Picked
by many as repeating tailenders,
they have been the best all-around
team in baseball through the last
few weeks. Mel OFT is due number
of rousing cheers for the late stand
his hired men have made against
some rasping luck, where the ball
they have been playing most of
May could easily win the National
League flag.
Tigers and Red Sox have made
the American League race the
more consistent scramble with the
Indians crOwding in. The Red Sox
are far from their stampcding form
OF last season. The Tigers are now
favored as the best team in the cir
cuit-certainly the team backed up
with the best pitching, which is a
pretty vital matter.
Joe Gordon, as one could figure
in advance, has been one of the
main factors in Cleveland's chal-
lenge-once more the Gordon that
ranked high among the best.
It should be Tigers or Red Sox in
the American League and you can
do your own nominating in the now
beWildered rival circuit,

NATIONAL DEBT MUST BE
PAID OFF BY SACRIFICES
Two hundred and sixty billion dol
lars OF national indebte dness! 1t Is
a huge sum; so large none Of us can
realize what it means as a total.
Broken up into equal shares for
each OF the approximately 100 mill
lion people of the nation it means
$4,000 for each one of us to pay,
plus interest. A mortgage of $4,000
on each family of five, parents and
children.
For each one Of us to pay our
share means we must sacrifice
something; do without something
we do not actually need or can get
along without, that we may save
that $4,000, or $1,000 for the family.
What is true of each of us as an
individual is equally true of the 100
million of us collectively. We, the
people of America, owe 260 billion
dollars, that we collectively must
pay. To pay it we, collectively,
must save that amount. To see that
we do is the job of our representa-
tives at Washington. 1t is not their
job to see that some do without nom
essentials, and some do not. All Of
us, whether we live in Maine or
California, in Washington or Flor
ida, and all the states in between,
are expected to do without some of
the things we may want, but which
we have been able to get along with
out in the past, that we may pay
that 260 billion dollars of national
indebtedness.
GIVE UP SUBSIDIES
Regardless of what our calling
may be, 1t is up to us to do without
that something former profligate
congress may have given us, that
money may be saved to apply on
national debt payments. The corn,
wheat or cotton farmer, the cattle
and hog grower, the fruit grower,
should be willing to forego subsidy
payments, that money may be
saved. What is true of the farmer
is equally true of all others; the
manufacturer, the merchant, the
worker and professional man, all
who have been receiving that extra
something from the government,
either directly or indirectly.
The government employee, hold
ing needless job, who does not
willingly quit and seek productive
employment that will help in paying
our government debt, should be
arbitrarily retired, and so forced
into doing his part.
For many years we have had the
seemingly inevitable "pOrk" appro-
priatiOn and for the past several
years especially congress has been
lavish in its spendings for unessen-
tial and expensive public projects
which we had been able to get along
without. Until that government debt
is paid, or greatly reduced, the time
has come to again get along without
such projects. At best, such projects
were beneficial only to the people
OF one state, or one section. They
were largely "pork," the purpose Of
which was to catch votes.
Now is time for the most strin-
gent economy, for doing only those
things that will keep the wheels
turning. Those expensive luxuries
we were able to get along without
in the past, we can, and must, con-
tinue to get along without until that
debt is paid. Of the total each one of
us owes $4,000 and each family of
five owes $4,000.
To see that we do these things is
the job of our representatives at
Washington.

LABOR

,"All that occurred" Phil
lips said, was that unprecedent-
ed Labor gains Of the last two
years in municipal elections
had been temper arily" halted.
He said that labor lost control
of only per cent of the bo-
rough councils on which it had
a majority before the election.
''It is fantastic to suggest that
this represents a great swing
away from labor" he said. To
have consolidated such high
proportion of our recent gains
in face of Tory attack which
deliberately aimed at exploiting
popular discomfort over newt
able shortages and restrictions
can hardly be called smash
ing defeat
However, what Phillips call
ed a flood and gasoline election
in reference to the Conservative
campaign brought out a record
proportion of voters. Usually in
such elections there is a turn
out of 80 to 40 per cent. This
year it was predicted that
SO per cent might turn out. Re
suits indicated that in many dis
tricts 80 per cent of eligible
voters went to the polls.

ly be established.
Such a step would be in line
with Marshall's original COM
ments on the veto in his Sep
tember policy speech when he
suggested that committee
study the problem in the COM

fly that this committee should
be his projected year-around
Assembly, American sources
speculated that he would agree
to such a course, provided the
veto issue was formally re-
ferred to the interim 57-nation
body.
The question of the veto and
its frequent use - Russia has
vetoed % times in the Security
Council - has been one of the
major problems facing the U N.
almost since it's inception. In
der this charter clause, the
United States, Russia, Britain,

EARTHQUAKE MAY
HAVE CAUSED TIDES
BY THE AsSOciated Pres,

10y i nC 62SSVC16SCu ICSS
A destructive high tide, its
cause possibly related to an earth
quake that killed at least 43 in
Peru Saturday, washed Carolina
shores yesterday.
The tide ran nine feet two
inches high at Charleston, SC,
inundating low-lying sections, an6
at nearby Folly Beach, an is
land resort, beach houses were
undermined. A Coast Guaro
crew used an amphimious duck
to rescue Is persons from a bus
stranded on a flooded highway
near Buxton, N. c.
Winds ranged between "a and
40 miles an hour yesterday after
noon. At 10 p. m. the winds blew
at q miles an hour in the Hatteras
area.
Father Frederick Sob on
Georgetown university seismolog-
lists, said at Washington, D. c..
that there was "50-50'' possibii-
ty that the tide, nearly twice
Charleston's five feet normal high
tide, was related to earth dis
turbances.
Heavy earth shocks were Re-
corded on the Georgetown seismo-
graph Saturday, probably those
that centered in Peru, and less
severe shocks were recorded yes
terday. The latter centered an
estimated $500 miles from Wash
ington, the direction unknown. z
"When there is vertical motion
in an earthquake at sea, so-called
tidal waves often result" Father
Sohon said.
The Peruvian town of Satipa, ir
| the Andes, where official dis
patches reported 40 killed, was
struck the hardest by the Sat-
urday quake.
In New York, Father Joseph j.
Lynch, Fordham University seis-
mologist, said he did not believe
the recorded tremors were res
ponsible for the high tides on
the east coast.
Readings here indicated the
quake centered too far to the
south and west to have affected
the Atlantic tides, Father Lynch
said. Moreover he added, the
vertical-type slips" of the earth
foramtions required to produce
tidal waves are not normal" in
the central Atlantic area.
Except for the Carolina tides
weather over the nation yesterday
was not unusual. The northwest
and southeast had rain, cloudy
areas included the south, east
upper plains and Rocky Noun
tains, and other areas mostly
were sunny and slightly warmer
than normal

Favor Cut
MANY leading farm officials
and farm organizations h a We

has been sharp disagreement
on the size Of the cuts.
