The Rockville Red Sox, Burtons-

won their games last Sunday and
as a result the three are still tied
for first in the Upper Montgomery
County Baseball League. The Red

The Red ISox and the Fircmen
from Beallsville put on a free hit
ting and scoring exhibition at
Rockville but the Red Sox had the
better breaks and ended up on top

heat was almost too much for the
pitchers who yielded a total of "a
hits. Benson was the winning
pitcher giving up ten hits, ten runs
and three walks. Poole was the
losing pitcher giving UP seven hits
and eight runs in five innings and
was relieved by Stottlemyer who
gave up seven hits and six runs in
four innings. Robertson was the
outstanding hitter for the Firemen
getting two doubles and single in
five times at bat. Paul Morgan and
Blaze Monday were outstanding
for the Red Sox. Morgan got four
for five including a home run and
Monday had a perfect day getting
three for three.

SECURITY:
Desperate Plight

President Truman came up with
another sound plank to reinforce
his campaign platform when he de-
manded that congress overhaul and
broaden the social security pro-
gram.
To relieve the desperate" plight
of the aged and needy in this infla-
tionary period he called for so per
cent increase in old age insurance
benefits and asked that 20 million
more persons be protected.
He offered a five point program
and said he wanted quick action
on it. For three years, the Presi-
dent pointed out with some irrita-
ton, similar requests on his part
have been shunted aside. This time
he was asking:
q A so per cent increase "atleast"
J.. in old age and survivors in
surance benefits; allowing pension
ers to earn up to $40 month in
stead of SIS without losing benefits;
raising of the tax rate from l per
cent to IL per cent next January l.
- Extension of coverage to farm
A and domestic workers, the
self-employed and others not now
covered.
- Broadening Of unemployment
- insurance to cover employees
OF small firms (havihg fewer than
eight workers., federal employees
and others.
A Disability insurance to protect
r workers from loss of earnings
caused by sickness and injuries.

ECONOMICS:
Wage-Price

While prices continue to climb
steadily, wage increases are begin
ming to show signs of dwelling off,
says the latest department of COM
merce report on initiation.
Possibility of a business recess
sion, and with it the prospect for
lower prices, vanished like mist in
the sun after the foreign aid and
military preparedness programs
began to take shape in March, the
department survey revealed.
During April retail sales, which
had started to 'flatten out" made
a comeback to exceed the previous
high set at the end of 1947.
Gaining at the rate of is million
a month over similar 1947 periods,
employment is expected to top the
60,O79, 900 all-time high reached last
July. At present more than 50.-
$4,000 Americans are at work.
The department said that COM
modify prices advanced during
April and early May. Farm and
food products continued to go up,
recovering from the slump.

Long Voyage

Previous flight range records
paled into insignificance when an
air force B-36 superbomber flew
an unprecedented 5000 miles non.
stop with a dummy bomb load of
about five tons. 1t was aloft for a
day and a half.
The B-36 returned to the ground
with about 1000 gallons Of gasoline
remaining in it's tanks, enough to
keep it aloft another two or three
hours If necessary.

Of the kind were the highly pub
licized 4,600-mile trips flown in
April by two B-29 superforts, each
carrying a five-ton bomb load.

PALESTINE:
Diplomacy


What the Jews of Israel lacked in
armed strength to resist Arab at
tacks against their new state they
had made up in shrewd diplomacy.
1t was just possible that the deci-
sive blow of the Palestine war was
struck when Israel, foreseeing mill
tary defeat, agreed to order it's
army to cease fire on all Palestine
fronts if the Arabs would do the
same.
That development, which took
place as the battle for Jerusalem
entered its sixth day in an unholy
atmosphere of rafting guns, burst
ing shell and violent death, made
the most favorable impression pos
sible in the United Nations.
Thus having the onus of prolong-
ing the Palestine fighting shifted
suddenly to their shoulders alone,
the Arabs were put on the spot in
the u. N. and in world public opin-
ion.
It was clever diplomatic maneu-
yer on the part Of the Jews but.
at least at the outset Of this new
line of circumstances, the Arabs
were having none of it. They reiter-
ated their determination to wrest
all Palestine from control of the
Jews.
Actually, all the Jews had done
was to issue surprise cease fire
order in compliance with U. N.
security council request that the
fighting be brought to a halt.
Neither the security council nor
anyone else had expected the re-
quest to be Observed
But that put it up to the Arabs
who, faced with deadline set by
the U. NJ, were having trouble de-
Gliding whether or not to cease fire.
II they stopped fighting now they
would have done so without attain
ing their prime objective-the re-
voking of Israers claim to SOW
ereign statehood. If they continued
the war beyond the deadline they
would be laying themselves open to
possible security council sanctions
of the economic variety.

HARVEST:
European

Europe may look forward to pos.
sibly it's best year since the war
il food production prospects con-
tinue to be as favorable as they are
right now.
U. S. agriculture department said
that the continent will produce
larger part of its food needs this
year than it did last year and that
the crop outlook was good over
most Of Europe and the Soviet
Union early in May.
Prospects indicate a considerably
larger crop of bread grains-wheat
and rye-than last years desper-
ately small one. A severe winter
killed most of Europe's winter
wheat and rye last year.
European production Of bread
grains may surpass 1.S billion
bushels, which was the size Of tho
1916 crop, largest since the war.
Production last year dropped to
about Is billion bushels, compared
with a 23 billion average before the
war.
Improved grain prospects in Eu.
rope have no direct significance for
Americans, inasmuch as Europe
will need continued shipments Of
grain from this and other exporting
areas in the year to come.
The more optimistic conditions
might, however, mark a turning
point in the European crisis. In
creased food production, bolstered
by American aid. will be great
factor in dragging Europe from its
postwar social and economic dol
drums.

What Price Money?

Proof Of the old adage that you
need money to make money is
being offered this year by the treas.
ury department.
1t seems, according to Secretary
of the Treasury John Snyder. that
the cost of printing a fast buck is
now up to nine mills per piece, as
compared with eight mills last
year. The cost is the same, how
ever, for a one, five or 10-dollar
bill-or even for a C-note.

Jesse
Alice?

''It was a dirty little coward that
shot MIR. Howard
And laid Jesse James in his
grave"
That's the way American ballad
singers have been chanting it ever
since 1882, but 100-year-old Frank
Dalton spoke up from hideout
cabin near Lawton, Okla, to give
the lie to spinners of folk tales and
official records alike.
Opening a chill blue eye on the
world he claims to have renowned
for IS years, Dalton crackled:
81 am Jesse James, THE Jesse
James, son. Bob Ford killed Char
lie Bigelow, not me. That was in
49,"
The Lawton Constitution, which
broke the story about Jesse James
being alive, says it has "indisput-
able proof including affidavits
from three persons who knew the
old Missouri outlaw during his hey
day.
How was the secret kept? Jesse
says that it was agreed among
members of his outlaw gang that
no one would reveal James iden-
tity until all were past the age of
100, or dead.
Dalton is not the first claimant
to the Jesse James name. One
turned up in 1892 at Excelsior
Springs, Mo-. another in 1884 at st.
Joseph, Mo-, another in 1884 at
Santa Monica, Calif., and still an
other in 1888 at Columbia, KY.

POLITICS.:
The Race

In Oregon, where the last presi-
Dental primary of this campaign
year was held in an atmosphere of
political hoopla, Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York was voted
more likely to succeed than Harold
Stassen.
Whether he would or not re-
manned an open question, but it
was certain that his political COM
plexion had taken on a more san
guine hue as result of the Oregon
balloting.
Stassen, who had won spectacular
primary victories in Wisconsin and
Nebraska over Taft and Dewey, his
chief rivals for the COP nominal
ton, and then had received bor-
derline setback at the hands of
Taft forces in Ohio. at last had
suffered a clear-cut defeat.
Oregon wasn't going to do Stas-
sen any good. Having had to buck
organized Republican opposition all
the way along, he apparently had
estimated that his best chance of
procuring the nomination lay in
building up sufficient prestige and
momentum during the primary
campaigns to stampede the June 81
convention.
However, he still will go to the
national convention with at least
200 delegates pledged to support
him on the first ballot. So, for
that matter, will Dewey. A total
of SAB convention votes is required
for nomination.
Thus, as the nations presidential
primary contests screeched to a
halt, the dominant opinion among
political insiders was that the
groundwork had been laid for
Taft Dewey Stassen convention
deadlock.
Net result of all this was a boost
in the stock of Sen. Arthur Vanden-
berg Rep., Mich.) as the leading
dark horse in the race.
Although Vandenberg has con-
tinued to deny he has any ambi-
tons to be a candidate, he has
made no move to dissipate the
strong, open support of such men
as Gov. James H. Duff of Pennsyl-
vania and others.
Another factor favorable to the
Michigan senator is Stassen's ad
miration for him and his policies.
Stassen is reported to have told
friends that if he fails to get the
nomination he will attempt to swing
his strength to Vandenberg.
