The Rockville Red Sox took over
undisputed possession of second
place last Sunday by defeating Po-
tomac 5 to 8 in a game called at
the end of the sixth inning due to
rain. Jack Freeburger started on
the mound for the Red Sox and
had things his own way through
cut except for the first of the sixth
when Potomac tied the score at
three all.
With a rain storm threatening
any minute, the Red Sox came to
bat in the last of the sixth deter
mined to score a run and break
the tie just in case the game would
be called. At this point Stull walk
ed and Bradshaw came through
with his second hit and Giauque
forced Stull at third leaving two
on and one out. Paul Morgan then
laid down a perfect bunt scoring
Bradshaw and when Butt threw to
first, Giauque came across with the
second run of the inning making
the count five to three. Morgan
was out stealing and johnson fan
ned but by that time the rain had
reached flood proportions and I'm
pire Beall called the game.
At Gaithersburg the Orioles
slipped to third place by dropping
a five to nothing decision to Bur-
louisville in a game that was also
halted due to rain in five and a
half innings.
The game at Beallsville between
the Cardinals and U. NJ. C. F. D.
was called at the end of four and
two-thirds innings due to rain. The
Cardinals were leading five to one
at the time but the game will have
to be played over. as it did not go

TO Sell Most OF Theaters
By the Associated Press

The Justice Department yesterday
asked for a court order requiring
Schine Chain Theaters, Inc, of New
York to sell most of its motion pic
ture houses In six States.
The request was filed with the
Federal Court at Buffalo, Ny.
where the Government won an antt-
trust action against the Schine
chain and five affiliated corporations
in 1916. The judgment Of monopo-
listic practices was upheld by the
Supreme Court last June and was
returned to the Buffalo court for the
carrying out Of penalties.
The department proposed to the
court that this final judgment in the
case should order Schine's opera
tions cut from 148 motion picture
theaters in rs towns in New York
State, Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland
Delaware and Virginia to its theateI
holdings in the three cities of Buff
falo, Rochester and Syracuse, N. Y

It will be in teresting to see what Congress does about these carefully prepared proposals for tax revision.

Other methods suggested to curb Communists range from that recommended to the committee by
 A. A. Berle, that they be required to register as agents of foreign government, to the ultimate ab surdity of Representative McDonoughs idea that the practice of Communism be declared reasonable. The former proposal involves transparent begging of the question The Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1888 requires persons or organizations which "act as an agent of a foreign principal to register with the Attorney General Thus the Communists if they are indeed agents of foreign principal already subject to prosecution without any need for leg islaton. If they not actually foreign agents, no legislative act make them so. So far MT McDonoughs interesting scheme is concerned, it indsputabe that nothing be declared reasonable save the overt specified in Article IT. Section of the Constitution
 Apart from the question of consttutonalty there considerations of prudence and practicalty which initiate against all these restrictive proposals. T would hate" J. Edgar Hoover told a House subcom- nitee last year ito group that does not deserve to be in the category of martyrs have the elfpty that they would at once invoke if they were made martyrs by some restrictive legislation that might later be declared unconstitutional In this. connection Arthur Garfield Hayes delivered himself of pungent observation anent the House Committee Un American Activities T think this committee has done more to build up the Communist Party than anything the Communists could have done in ten years"
 It is very much to be doubted in any case whether repression of political dssidence ever effectual Can ada outlawed her Communist Party security measure in 1940 only to have the Communists reor- ganze as the Labor Progressive Party in 1922 Brazil has lately discovered that outawry of the party has by no means impaired it's operation that in fact the party has been stimulated and expanded.

For Economical Motoring
(New York Times

As in other years, the annual meeting Of the Society of Automotva Engineers has thrown light on public preferences as well technical developments in motor car improvement. survey made public at the meeting indicated that there is strong market fer smaller lighter to sell for substantially lower prices To take New York City an example, 6l per cent of those replying to the questionnaire en- dorsed the idea of more economical The majority of those replying favored a to sell between $750 and $1ooo These prices far below those asked for cars now being marketed With labor and material costs as they are now the desired figures do not to be too realistic. It is significant however that the respondents in the survey expressed themselves inch wheel base and between 70 and 80 horsepower, both materially lower than those of the present standard cars in the ow-price brackets.
 At the sme meeUng, engineers were advised to develop engines requiring a minimum of high anti knock fuel as matter of economy and petroleum conservation Laboratory and road tests have indl- cated that the gasolines of very high antknock quail ties are required only for very limited periods ana situations and engineers urged to consider ln- saation of dual fuel systems that regular gasoline can be utilized for the majority of drivers trip, with switch to be made to a reserve tank of hgh- octane fuel for demands of special performance.
 It is clear that much attention is being given to holding down both first and operating costs for the motorist While the demand for comfort and per performance to which the American public has become accustomed makes it improbable that we would turn to baby" cars of European type in quantity. real challenge has been posed to the automove engineers to retain large measure of performance and at the same time cut costs.

Francesca Lodge, wife of the COP Congressman from Connecticut, herself born in Italy, has received an interesting letter from an old friend indicating that the relig- ious temper of the Italian people will win out over Communism.
 Life here seems to have come to a standstill,' Mrs. Lodge was informed. Everything is paralyz- ed waiting for the result of the elections in April-Russia must be handing out millions for propa- ganda, but great many do not think that she will make it. The feeling is very strong against them.
 "A new wave of religious iervor seems to have come over most people. There arc all sorts of manifestations in the way of the Madonna appearing in several plac- es. At Assist the great statue on the top of Santa Degli Angeli- the romantic little church where the pilgrims used to meet com ing back from the Holy Land, and where Saint Francis lived and where the rose plants have blood stains on the leaveS-well, that big staute for days now has been the center of thousands of visits from people from all over Italy The Madonna's head is seen moving backwards and forwards and side ways, while the halo attached to her shoulders remains still The statue is neormous, very heavy bronze. The also is thoroughly at tached to the head, but even so it does not move. Scientists and the most incredulous people have witnessed this miracle and believe in it. They say when a Madonna moves it is sign of response to prayer and means she will answer the prayers and protect her peo- ple."

COMMENDABLE ACTION

Governor of Alaska Ernest Gruening in letter to Senator Hugh Butler points out that the issue of aboriginal claims did not exist in Alaska until former Secretary of the Interior created it, thereby obsruct- ing pulp and paper other development and reviving interracal hard feeling and friction which was on it's way out"
 The Governor is perhaps in the best position of any to know just how influential was the Department of the Interior creating the false theory of aboriginal rights To our knowledge this is his first statement against the aboriginal claims and a commendable action since the opinion of the Governor of Alaska is bound to carry much weight with those now consider ing legislation the matter.
 As for the reservations Governor Gruening points out in his unsolicited letter Senator Butler as far back as 1913 the first Territorial Legislature memorial ized Congress That further reservations be made that some of already in existence be abolished or diminished and that the Tongass and Chugach Ma tional Forest Reservations be thrown open for general use of the prospector, miner and settler

Controlling Communism
Washington Post)

A variety of laws has been proposed for dealing with Communism Raymond Moey urged before the Subcommittee of the House Committee on oh-Ameri- can Activities the other day that the Communist Party be barred from the ballot and outlawed The Con- stituton is rather clear in reserving to the States exclusive jurisdiction voting procedures and quail fcations Although dozen States now bar from the ballot the Communist Party any party advocating violent overthrow of the Government such laws have been declared unconstitutional in California and lll- nos the only two States where they have as yet been subjected to defntve tests Proposals to outlaw the party either by by attributlng It to an advocacy of violence which it denies, seem to run clearly counter to constitutional guarantees of free sueech free associations and due process of law

INSIDE KNOWLEDGE HELPS
 SPECULATORS

One way by which the little group of spectators around Sena- tor Thomas of Oklahoma made money was by getting some influ- ential person to make statement calculated to affect the commod- ity market, then, knowing in ad- vance that this statement was coming, they could play the mar ket accordingly. That's why Sen ator Thomas own statements on the Senate floor. certain to affect the market at the same time he was speculating, were so impor- tant.
 How the system worked is shown by the following telephone con- versation between Ralph Moore. speculating buddy of Senator Thom- as and J. T. Sanders. legal coun- sel of the National Grange.
 Moore: The markets in a hell of shape"
 Sanders: Tt is bad, isn't it?"
 Moore: What are you people go- ing to do about it?"
 Sanders: What can we do?"
 Moore: "Wen, the Grange can issue a statement of some kind to help steady the market. There is no reason why prices should go down like this. It's disgrace the way farmers are heing robbed
 Sanders: Maybe you're talking about brokers. The farmers have sold most of their wheat. They aren't being hurt like some oth- CTS I could mention"
 Moore: You ought to get out a statement before prices go any

or commodities within six months short term-purchase. If, on the other hand, they dispose of securities and commodities held longer than six months-long term they pay only 50 per cent Of their profits. Therefore many specula- tors convert their short term gains into long terms merely by telling their brokers to defer payment on sales until alter the six month dealine, thus greatly reducing their taxes. Also many, with brok- CT connivance, only declare losses in the six month period, but keep their profitable accounts operative for longer than six months, there by cutting taxes in half.
 In other words, the present capl- tai gains tax law tends to make the United States a nation of spec ulators and tax sharpshooters.

OTHER CHANGES RECOMMENDED

These tax evasion pracIlceS nave been hotly denounced by Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson, and the Internal Revenue Bureau now urges that they be changed.
 Other changes recommended by the Bureau include:
 l. Making employers who delay payment of withholding taxes from employees subject to civil penal ty." Some employers make habit of using withholding taxes to de- fray business expenses instead Of turning them over immediately to the Treasury.
 2. Authorizing the Federal Gov ernment to withhold wages from Federal employees who are delin- quent in income taxes.
 3. Elimination of the long es- tahlished practice of allowing de- auctions for work clothes, except specialized clothing for particular occupations.
 4. A sweeping revision of the current method of computing the taxable income of life insurance companies ito more equitably re- fleet" their profits.
 5. A revision of the law dealing with recovered war losses in order to make the tax on U. $. property in enemy countries recov- cred after the war, equal to the

Retria| in Fraud Case
By the Asso, lated Press

NEW YORK, May 29.-The con-
spiracy conviction OF a former naval
officer, his partner and a New York
Chicago engineering firm was re-
versed on technical grounds yester-
day by the Circuit Court Of Appeals.
A new trial was ordered.
The defendants are John D. Corri-
gans the one-time naval officer:
Robert H. Wells, his partner, and
the firm of Corrigan, Osburne and
Wells, Inc. They were convicted In
Federal Court of conspiring to de-
fraud the Government OF Corrigan's s
impartial services as naval officer
The court reversed the conviction
on the grounds that two exhibits
were admitted in evidence by error
The improper exhibits. the judges
said, were two reports made by
executives of Vickers. Inc, claiming
that Corrigan had made "baseless
biased and prejudiced" reports on
their company
The court said there was ample
evidence to sustain the conviction. >
The Government charged that
Corrigan, inspecting war plants for
the Naval Ordnance Division. used
his job to try to persuade war con-
tractors to employ his firm for en-
gineering work.
Corrigan was sentenced to lS
months Imprisonment and q 5000
fine, and Wells to a year and a day
in prison. The corporation was
fined $4,000.
