Do Profits Rook You?
By GEORGE S. BENSON
. PTesiden, Of Hdrding College @
r. SeorcY. Arkunsos

PROFIT is a word that folks
must utter today in whispers. In
fact, it is a nasty word, the way
most people use it.. And this is
) pity. Actually, the word has in
II a great measure Of progress
hnd once meant the results Of
that which was proficient" or
tsefully productive. But folks to-
lay have twisted their ideas on
profit around so that the word
indicates to them the ability Of
business to take advantage Of
iomebody, especially the worker.
| Our economic processes are in
eresting and exciting when you
Understand them. Without prop
)rly understanding the ways of
honey, trade, and commerce, an
lnthinking person can become a
bupe for every ISM that DR.. Uto-
bia has to offer. It is amazing
70 me that ! find young people
Ind a few old ones, too, so taken
b by glamorous ideas that have
10 basis in fact. Some of these
olks dream that profit is loot.
They look at profit as lacking in
morals anc as the worst kind Of
in.
Nay To THE THING that is
Progress directly responsible for
I = + human progress and
nman welfare is work. Work is
.uman energy. Without work,
md without the pay that people
let for their human energy,
Irogress would be at a stand
till. But there is something else.
The tools, the factories, the land,
he buildings-all the things men
se in drawing upon their human
Inergy-these things are simply
imam energy stored up for use.
Payrolls and profits: these two
ms are vital to the well-run
siness enterprise. early
erybody understands already
wv important payrolls are to
e welfare Of our economic COM
unity. But not nearly so many
.ople understand that profits
Chicago world., 1948-06-19

also are necessary. In fact, il
would be impossible to have gooc
wages without correspondingly
high profits. Then, a worker
whose company makes q profit is
well-blessed indeed.
How To WHY is that so? Only
Prosper a business that makes
healthy profits can of.
fer steady, good-paying jobs t.
the community. Only a company
that malos sufficient profit car
buy moGsrn tools ard rcplac,
worn-out ones. What worker doe:
not like to operate good ma.
chinery? Only a business that
makes good profits can afford to
plan and to expand its facilities.
In other words, all workers who
think right about it would wart
an employer to make good
profits.
Many workers think thai
wages are paid out Of profits.
This is not so. Money for tho
work comes right out Of sales anf
goes directly to payrolls, just az
money for profit comes out o.
sales and goes for the use OF
tools. When profit is high, the
chances are that wages also will
be good. This is nearly always
true unless taxes come in anG
take too large a chunk, or unless
the company is so much in debt
that profits cannot be used for
new tools. <A
n If | were an employee Of
company or working in an indus
try, l would be very much con.
cerned that my employer makes

do to make a profit for him,
Knowing that my chances Of hav.

with the company would depend

terprise, l would work hard to

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Mar. a.
The next four weeks will tell
whether Charley Keller, the con-
home-run clouter, will re-
gain his old left-field berth with
the New York Yankees.
The stockily built slugger today
advised Manager Bucky Harris he
would be ready to participate in
the exhibition games by April /.
Declaring he never has felt better
since he underwent serious spinal
operation last July, Keller predicted
he would be in the opening lineup
when the Yankees inaugurate their
regular campaign in Washington
April 10.
Now for the first time I have nc
doubts about my future" he de-
clared, following strenuous three
hour workout which marked the
Yankees first practice session. 81
don't like to kid myself but I really
think I'm going to make it.
"Just three weeks ago I wouldn't
have said it," Keller added. Il felt
so tired and so weak that I wa.
nearly ready to call 1t quits. Every.
thing I did was an effort. Were il
not for the realization that I owec
something to my family. I might
have given up. Now I see real day
light ahead"
Keller's optimistic view came as
grand surprise TO Harris. Tit

PITTSBURGH, Mar. 2.-Pennsyl-
vania's Boxing Commissioner John
Montgomery today handed Heavy
weight Art Swiden a temporary
suspension at a hearing called to
review the Braddock, Pa. fighters
disqualification in bout last night
Swiden was waved to his corner
in the eighth round of q 1O-round,
main event fight at the Gardens
with Jackie Crawford Of. Washing
ton. Referee Fred Mastrean said
Swiden fouled repeatedly. Swiden
appeared to be winning when the
fight was stopped. Crawford had
been warned to get in there and
fight"
Montgomery said the case would
be reviewed by the full commission
at a meeting in Philadelphia tomor-
row. He told Swiden he would rec
ommend leniency because Of the
fighters inexperience and added:
II think what really happened
here was that you knew you were
beating this fellow and you were
carried away"
It was Swiden's 10th professional
fight. He is 10.

Keller Confident He'll Be Ready
To PLAY Ball for Yonks April I

Yankee skipper had been plainly
disturbed at the discouraging news
of Charley's condition.
I'm leaving it all up to Keller" !"
Bucky said. when Charley tells
me he's ready, in he goes. adpit
I've lost some sleep over him, but
after what I've seen today, guar
antee you I'll lose no more"
Indeed, it was revelation to
watch Keller cavort on Miller Hug
gins Field. He was the first player
in uniform. After jogging around
the park, he engaged in, pepper
game in which he had to undergo
assorted bending maneuvers. Then
he took his turn in the batting
cage. He blasted four balls into the
deepest right-field sectors, each of
which would have been a home run
in Yankee Stadium.
Following a turn. in the outfield,
where he chased batted balls, King
Kong sauntered over to second base
There he was given a stiff workout
by Coach Charley Dresser. When
a halt finally was called, Keller
nominated himself to serve as bat
ting practice pitcher to Joe Di
Maggie.
Except for thinness around his
face and legs. Keller shows no signs
of the operation which removed a
piece, of disc that was pressing
against his spine. He weighs 180
pounds. 10 under his best playing
weight.

Hopes Of PIayoff Spot
Spur Caps in Stretch

With Bones Mckinney expected
to resume his place in the lineup
against the Knickerbockers Satur-
day at New York, the Washington
Caps will concentrate on getting a
berth in the championship playoffs
in their final seven games of the
season.
st. Louis, with a three-game edge
and nine games to play, apparently
has a strangle-hold on first place
The Bombers could lose four games
while the Caps won all theirs and
still finish in a tie. The Chicago
Stays, second with eight games to
go, could drop two and still hold
their position. Thus, a place in the
playof seems to be the Caps chief
hope.
Focal point of the fight apparently
is the Caps feud with Baltimore.
The Caps have a halfgame edge on
the Bullets with one game left to
play with them. This one might de-
eide which club goes to the playoffs
where a $50,0 900 melon will be divided
among the six competing teams.
Washington's remaining games:
March 6, at New York; 10, Chicago;

Hot WI. Challenging
Favored ST. John S;
Riders, Barons Tilt
By GEORGE Huber

The best In high school basket
ball will be on display by Ritchie
Colisuem at nearby University of
Maryland in The Evening Stars
18th annual Metropolitan Invita-
ton Tournament opening tonight.
Eight top teams from Washington
and nearby Maryland and Virginia
have been chosen to battle for the
Metropolitan title and the big silver
bowl that go to the winner.
The opening game tonight In
what promises to be one Of the
classiest Journeys in the long his
tory of the event will be between
st. Johns, No. / seeded team, and
Washington-Lee from Arlington,
Va. They play at 7:30 o'clock, fol-
lowed at 8:45 by Roosevelt against
Bethesda.
Completing the first round will
be two more games tomorrow night,
George Washington High Of Alex
andria against Maryland Park and
Central, the District public high
champion against Gonzaga.
No Setup for st. Johns
These teams make the tourna-
ment, cosponsored by the District
Interhigh Athletic Association,
we'll l-balanced affair. Entered are
two Maryland teams, two from Vir-
ginia, two from the District public
high league and two from the
parochial-private group. st. Johns
is favored, but by no means are
the Johnnies prohibitive choices.
George Washington, Central. Be-
thesda and Gonzaga are especially
strong challengers.
Semifnals will be played Friday
night and the title game on Sat-
urday.
Joey Gallagher, coach of st.
Johns, has tasted victory before
The Star tourney. He played on
the 1898 team that won and in
1899, when the Johnnies were run
ners-up, he was voted the Journeys
outstanding player. He has a crew

now that he rates as equal to either

now that he rates as equal to either
the 1888 or 80 teams.
Jack George, leading schoolboy
scorer in Washington, got most
of the attention while st. Johns
ran up record of 81 wins
against lone setback. He isn't the
whole team by any means, though,
for plenty of work is done by such
other regulars as Tom Fannon, Al
Weaver, Vince Durkin and Billy
Martins.
WI. Five Near Peak.
Coach Pete Rockwell of Wash
ington-Lee is sending team OF fast
Youngsters against st. Johns. The
Generals now are reaching peak
form. They staged a blazing finish
last week to wind up in second place
in the Northern Virginia League, a
really tough loop. They've topped
Fairfax, Charlotte Hall, Dewitt and
Lane in succession and appear ready
to give the Johnnies g. battle.
Much of the WI. attack Is built
around Hook Zimmerman, hook
shot and pivot shot expert, with
plenty of help from Van Duley and
Biff johnson, both smart players
and set shot artists.
The Roosevelt Bethesda game
figures to be close although Be-
thesda defeated Roosevelt about
three weeks ago. Coach AL Vogt OF
the Barons has a couple of tall
boys who may give Roosevelt's
shorter players trouble-Notably
Sam Towne, who goes to 6 feet,
4 inches, and Dickie Latimer, g.
footer with an eagle eye. Dave
Parkinson and Mike Bollo are
among other valuable players with
the Barons.
Riders Have Star in Hibbs
Lack of height. hasn't hurt Roose-
welt much this season, however.
The Rough Riders feature very
tight defense. They've used both
the zone and man-for-man, and
such a switch in tactics can provide
lots of trouble for opponents.
Billy Hibbs, Roosevelt's leading
scorer, is one of the smallest play
ers in the tourney, yet may be one
of the best. Not only is this boy
consistent point-getter, but he
also is standout on defense. Others
of the same caliber are Julio Stopak,
Bill Paugh and Bob Zamsky.

Better Hurting Makes
Giants Real Threat
In Race, OH Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

PHOENIX, Ariz, Mar. 2.-The
New York Giants, slugging terrors
of the National League, think they
are going to come up with some
pitchers to match.
Their manager, Mel OFT, says his
hickory -wielders are cinch to finish
one-two in the coming race, which
stamps him baseball's greatest opti-
mist as of March 2.
Carroll (Whitey) Lockman, the
teams sensational young outfielder
who shattered an ankle last spring
and was lost for the season, is run
ming without a visible limp and
claims the member Is completely
healed.
The three items are set down more
.or less in the order of their i'm
portance as the Giants swing into
training under q glittering sun
which arrived just in time to save
the States reputation.
Frankly, OFT doesn't quite know
where the pitching help is coming
from. But he has % assorted
fingers in camp, and he seems to fee
a sort of mystic faith that out OF all
those elbowers there are bound te
be two or three who can throw
strikes.
OFT didn't particularly feel thu
loss of Veteran Mort Cooper, whf
announced his retirement yesterday
He hadn't counted too much OF
Mort. He realized all along he hat
to come up with some young stun
"It's our only problem" Mel says
