Mack Predicts His As
Will Recover When
Ai|inq Men Return
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, June 8.-Connie
Mack today took a speculative look
at his Philadelphia Athletics-win.
ners of only two games in their
last nine-and offered this COM
ment: These conditions are not
permanent" :.
This stand by the 85-year-old
president-manager of the Phila-
delphia American League entry was
in contrast to his repeated refusal
to give lip service to the fans
exuberance while the AS were lead
ing the league.
The Mackmen came back to Phila-
delphia for a long home stand,
starting against the New York Yam
KEGS on May %. The AS won three
out of four from the Yanks and then
went into a slump climaxed by three
straight defeats In the recent Cleve-
land series.
As Miss valo. McCosky.
1t was suggested that the AS
might be tired at this point after
setting the league pace for q major
portion of the young season.
mo. they're not tired" said Mack.
"1t's simply that we miss Valo and
McCosky, and our pitching staf at
the moment is all shot"
Rightfielder Elmer Valo suffered
a rib fracture in fence-crashing
catch at st. Louis two weeks ago
and at the same time Leftfielder
Barney McCosky pulled up with
strained leg muscle.
Three starting pitchers have been
having arm trouble. Bill McCahan
as result OF stiff shoulder. Dick
Fowler because of bursitis and Phil
Marchildon because of a cold in his
back.
Things are looking up, however.
Mack said
II feel that McCahan tight now
is ready for work. though naturally
we'll try him in relief before starting
him. Marchildon always has trouble
with his arm in the spring and
also hope that the warm weather
will Straighten out Fowler.
Pleased Over Deal.
Mack expressed satisfaction with
the recent deal that brought Out
fielder Ray Coleman to the AS from
the st. Louis Browns in exchange
for George Binks and $4,000 cash.
Coleman made several good plays
in the field and I know he's going
to help u.s." Mack said.
II am not worrying so much over
our defeats by the Indians. They
are great club with strong hitters
and great pitching, at east they
have been great against us.
But there can be no doubt" he
said. that we miss Valo and Nc
Cosky.

Officials Scan Lists
For Colts 10 Oppose
Citation in Belmont
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June 8.-Oficials OF
the Westchester Racing Association
were scraping the bottom of the j.
year-old barrel today for few
courageous colts to oppose Citation
in the 100000 Belmont Stakes.
At the moment they're hopeful
that. Ave or six might forget the
Kentucky Derby. Preakness and 9TH
er Citation romps long enough to
try another fling with the Calumet
Farm star Saturday.
Five horses chased Citation home
in the Derby and three followed
suit in the Preakness. The big ques-
ton at the moment seems to be how
many will venture against the great
son of Bull Lea in the " mile Bel
mont.
Escadru Chief Challenge.
The latest Belmont census shows
the following list from which oppo-
sition might develop:
w. L. Brann's Escadru, Glenn
Riddle Farms Faraway. c. v.
Whitney's Dinner Gong and Vul-
cans Forge, A. J. Sackett's Gas
pariila, Bel Air Studs Whirling Fox.
William Helis' Salmagundi and
King Ranch's Better Self.
Better Self and Salmagundi both
are doubtful, although the King
Ranch colt won the Yankee Handi-
cap at Suffolk Downs Saturday,
with Salmagundi second. Better
Self tackled Citation in the Freak
ness and finished fourth. Salma-
gundi stayed away from Pimlico
that afternoon, then was scratched
from the Jersey Stakes which Cita-
ton won at Garden State May 20.
The decision for Whirling Fox was
to be made today. while trainers of
Faraway and Gasparilla also are ex-
pected to say yes" or no" shortly.
E.scadru climbed into the role of
chief challenger Saturday by win
ming the Peter Pan Handicap at
Belmont. Trainer Ed Christmas
said Escadru was a sure Belmont
Stakes starter.
Poor Race BY vulcan's Forge.
Sylvester Veitch, the Whitney
trainer, said the same for Vulcan's
Force before the Peter Pan. Vul-
cans Forge. conqueror of Calumet's
Coaltown in the Withers Stakes, ran
poor race in the Peter Pan, finish
ing fifth. Veitch added that Dinner
Gong would be a Belmont starter
if he ran a good race In the Peter
Pan. He did, finishing second.
Six starters would produce gross
purse of s115,300 for the 80th rul;-
ming of this final event in the triple
crown, with the winner picking up
SIS. TOO.
Citation already has banked
S3l1 ,320 this year. and is we'll on
the way to breaking the single sea-
son money winning record of $424,-
1875 made by Assault in 1916. With
the s155 $50 Citation won in 1947 he
ranks fifth in the all-time money
list with s467.O00.
The Calumet flyer might deter
some from Saturdays main event,
but $4,000 $4,000 and S5,000-for
second, third and fourth place
should assure at least three rivals.

Of 1948Crop Supports
Brings Talk Of Cuts
No Reduction Possible
Until Congress Meets;
Lower GouIs Planned
BY the Associofed Press

Talk of possible cuts in farm
price supports was heard in
Government circles today. 1t
stemmed from the prospect that
the Agriculture Department may
have to put up around $780,
100000 to keep prices on 1948
crops from falling below levels
fixed by law
Any changes would have to be
made by Congress. however, and
the lawmakers are not due back
until January.
Discussion of the price support
problem was heard anew at the
Agriculture Department where OFF,
cials are mapping 1949 farm pro-
duction program. It's goal is to get
farmers OF start cutting back from
high wartime levels in some crops
particularly wheat, potatoes, oil
seeds and possibly corn.
A proposal that 8 per cent less
land be planted to wheat already
has been announced. But reports
from the field indicate that growers
plan to ignore the departments
recommendations and plant another
big acreage.
Extension Boosts Crops.
The action of Congress in June
in extending the wartime price sup
ports for basic crops another year
was said to be influencing the
farmers wheat plans. Ofncials said
growers of other crops also are likely
to ignore suggestions for smaller
output of crops already listed as
surplus. ..
The Truman administration had
urged lower price supports for next
years crops.
No responsible department official
Is willing to be quoted by name, but
many say privately they believe the
next Congress will find 1t advisable
to trim the support levels in order
to prevent an accumulation of big
surp1uses.

Kaiser Furnace Deal
Looks Pretty Firm
Comments
He Will Press to See
Foundries Get Pig Iron;
Bender Still SkepticoI
Bv ]. A. O'LeaN

Chairman Wherry of the Sen
ate Small Business Committee
made plans today to continue
efforts to see that several hun
dred foundries continue to get
pig iron from a Cleveland blast
furnace leased by the Govern
ment to the Kaiser-Frazer Corp.
He announced his intention after
the claims of three rival bidders
were aired before a joint Senate
House hearing from 10 am. to mid
night yesterday.
Senator Wherry said the lease
granted by the War Assets Admin
istration to the Kaiser-Frazer Corp.
looks like pretty firm contract" "
But he added he would investigate
further, with the final goal that
independent business is going to be
protected"
Chairman Bender of House Ex-
penditures Subcommittee disagreed,
however. He questioned the flnality
of the lease because, he said. WAA
hasn't complied with provisions OF
the law" to submit the lease for
review.
Heated exchanges marked the
long hearing and at the end there
still was no certainty that foundries
in various States now getting pig
iron from the Republic Steel Corp.
would be sure of continuing supply
if the deal goes through. The dead
line for kaiser-FraZer's taking over
of the furnace, built by the Gov
ernment for war production as an
integrated part of Republic Steel
Corp, is August 81.
Henry J. Kaiser, chairman OF the
board of Kaiser-Frazer, charged
that Charles M. White, president OF
Republic Steel, was using Hitler
tactics" and political pressure" to
retain the furnace-coke plant on
dictated terms"
Mr.. White retorted that his firm
got "a sinking deal'' when WAA
Administrator Jess Larson accepted
