The Coming Battle

A few years ago Bob Zuppke, then
football coach at Illinois, was talk
ing of the season ahead. "We can
play fine football" he said, "still
lose every game"
This is the way Ben Chapman
thinks about the National League
race. 1.-THE Phillies can play high
grade baseball this season and still
finish last. That also goes for the
Cubs, Pirates and Reds. These are
the four teams slated for the Sec
ond division but this is the toughest
second division l ever saw.
1--WE are all improved over last
year." Chapman continued. 1.-THE
Cubs, Pirates and Reds are much
stronger. So are we. All Of US
are shooting for the first division,
or the top Of the second. But
someone has to finish last and next
to last.
MILLER will help US a lot. Well
hit all right. If we can get the
pitching I hope we can get, we'll
bother all Of Them"
Eddie Dyer, the Cardinal chief,
agreed with this angle. 1T used
to be you could save your best pitch
ing for your leading rivals. You
can't do that any MORE"

Gene Sara5en Arrives

Like a robin blown from a snow
drift or a bluebird waited from an
ice floe. a short, stocky fellow with
a quick smile and piano legs came
into the room. His name happens
to be Gene Sarazen, one of the
best, one of the smartest and one
of the most popular golfers Of all
time.
Gene had an idea that the younger
and unknown pros should get more
protection or help.
"You don't have to help the Ho-
gans, Sneads, Demarets, Nelson's
or Lockes," he said. "They can take
care Of themselves. But these
younger fellows on tour have to
pay out rather important money
from $4,000 to $4,000. There should
be bigger cash prizes, extended to
those who finish from 18th to Goth
place.
Young ballplayers and young
football players get paid something
Il mean the pros. Can you i'm
agine these fellows being asked to
fork over $4,000 each to get expert
ence?
"GoH doesn't care for its own.
Most of the money goes to just
a few people. We should have
people ahead Of tour making
arrangements for the younger fel-
lows at much cheaper prices-not
$40 a day. Give them a break"
If golf, pro golf, ever got a real
commissioner, my vote would 60
to Sarazen. Maybe he wouldn't
want it or wouldn't take it. Gene
is for the older golfer, the kid golfer,
as we'll as for the star golfer.

"Just year ago around this

in baseball. They also were kick
ing such teams as the Yankees,
Tigers, Red Sox and others around

this happen when later the Cardi-
nails looked like an orphan asylum

months Of the season? I don't mean

Harry the Cat fixed two shining
eyes on me and started to talk.
'That's very simple" he said.
"The Cardinal veterans were not
betting the other teams around.
1t was the Cardinal rookies-the
kids. We had infielders and out
fielders who were knocking down

fine pitching-mostly rockies.
Naturally the veterans sat back
and laughed. What a push-over.
Sam Breadon said it was the great

We thought so too.

veterans were bad and the rockies,
outside of Jim Hearn, were worse.

To Keep Powder Dry
While Waiting Peace
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

NEW YORK, April 3.-Secretary
OF Defense Forrestal urged the
United States in effect last night
to keep its powder dry while waiting
for the world to accept the United
Nations as its agency OF peace.
II have faith In the United Ma
tions over very long future" Sec
retary Forrestal said. "but ! do not
believe that it can give us the po-
litical solutions for all the world at
once"
The cabinet member spoke at q
dinner of West Point and Annapolis
graduate societies celebrating armed
service unification.
Secretary Forrestal, declaring that
one could not expect such a new
and untried organization as the
U. N. to be the crucible in which
century-old racial and ethnic prob
lens are solved" added:
Il may be wrong, but think that
the only chance for our success in
meeting the problem and in finally
re-establishing the political and
military balance which are the
foundations of peace is to maintain
our strength. That means economic
strength, military strength and,
finally, spiritual strength"
He predicted that current inter-
national tensions and pressures
would continue "for the rest of our
lifetime, and probably for at least
a generation beyond"

Auto Tourists Warned
On Iheffs Of luggage

Motoring tourists were warned by
Police Supt Robert j. Barrett today
that they are inviting trouble by
leaving personal possessions in their
automobiles.
This is the time Of year when
thieves begin scouting for out-of-
town car licenses, Maj. Barrett said.
They are encouraged by the fact
that many visitors do not report
losses and others, on leaving town,
find it inconvenient to return to
assist in court prosecutions.
The best way to avoid such losses
Is to remove luggage and other ar
ticles from parked cars, Maj. Bar
rett suggested.

Mayor Asks Council To Consider Bond issue

Mayor Lee '. Bettinger told the city council Monday night that he would propose the float ing of 8 bond ,ssue to pay for city utilities. immed ately after !next years budget is prepared. The people must vote on bond issue after council approval is given to the question appearing on the ballot. The bonds would pay for the city dock, the water and sewer system the construction of ad- ditional water storage space, and paving streets the mayor said, and the funds would be used
 only for revenue-producing ao-
 tivities. In that way 8 possible
 bond issue to build a new school ! would not be impaired.
 MT. Bettinger asked the coun-
 cil to think over the suggestion.
 "We are about the only city in ! Alaska that operates just on our taxes," he said.

 council at it's meeting included

Liherian Renaissance:
Social Foundation

MONROVIA, July 10. (ANP)
Work has begun that will bring
vast changes to the landscape of
Liberia.
Within a generation the mod
ern airfield and harbor at Mon
rovia will be bustling with cargoes
ranging from palm oil to iron as
rich as the fabulous Swedish ores.
The modernized capital of Mon
rovia will then be busy with traf-
fic. Trucks, planes, and railroads
will reach into the back country,
where other machines will be cut
ting stands of cirgin forest, cul-
tivating acres of cocoa, digging
for diamonds and gold.
How will all this effect the life
of the average Liberian?
First, it will bring him more
and better clothing, more and bet
ter food, more and better hous-
ing.
Today his standard of living is
low. Even in the coastal cities, in
Guiding Monrovia, there is no cen
trail water system, and there is
inadequate lighting and sub-stand-
ard housing.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-07-19

But the great majority of Lii
berians live in the back country
in simple villages of mud and
stick huts. They are divided into
some % tribes and remnants of
tribes, each speaking its own Ian
guage. Dress and customs are still
primitive, despite the efforts of
the past 100 years. Work is often
scarce and income inadequate.
The average tribesman has lit

tually wants Mexicans treated as
| white rather than as black. It
seems the justice in having Mexi-
cans freely admitted to schools,
theaters, hotels, restaurants and
other places on the same basis as
white citizens. Newspapers are be-
ginning to discover that even dark
Mexicans have unsupported manly
virtues.
This development in Texas
raises the question as to what
would happen elsewhere in the
south if Negroes at the height of
the planting or harvest season sud-
denly decided not to work unless
assured there would be more rec
ognition of their rights as citizens
of these United tSates. 1t would

south, not of it's holier than thou

such daring by Negroes as a men,
ace to white supremacy, but if
Negroes stood their ground and
endured the hunger, suffering,
and beatings which an enraged
white south might attempt for a
while, it seems a certainty they
would win. You see, the white man
has many faults, but few of them
are fools when it comes to making
money.

Labor View
By C. r. McCray for AMP

The materialists in our midst
have long argued that economic
laws are much stronger than So
cial or moral laws. This rather
cynical view of people seems to
mean that we will believe in those
things which enable US to eat bet
ter and to get more of the worlds
money in our grasp.
Given the need they will, of
course, act to preserve the things
in which they believe. There would
be far less discrimination against
and segregation of Negroes if we
could or would strike back where
it hurts most--in the pocket book.
The south continues to believe
in segregation and discrimination
because southern gentlemen be-
lieve there is profit in it. When
the advantages are in doubt, then
we are presented to a different
set of actions based entirely on
a different set of beliefs.
Take for example the present
situation in Texas. In this citadel
of American culture Mexicans or
Spanish-Americans are quite gen
orally treated as Negroes. Both
are segregated in elementary
schools; denied service and admis-
sion in theaters, restaurants, no.

of serving the public. Of coure
there are certain jobs that Mexi-
cans do not hold and neighbour
hoods in which they cannot live.
mi short dark Mexicans are treat
ed like most Americans trea dark
citizens generally.
The situation actually grew so
bad that the Mexican government
took notice of it and let it be
known that the $4,000 to $4,000
migratory Mexican workers en-
tering Texas each year to do alb
solutely necessary work on cotton
plantations would be stopped un-

finance cotton, the roads that haul
cotton, the plantation owner and
