Senator Johnson Quit.
Radio Hearing After
Blast al Capehart
BY the Assoeiosed Press

= /
Senator Johnson, Democrat, Of
Colorado walked out in huff to-
day from hearing on his contro-
versial radio bill after accusing
Senator Capehart, Republican, OF
Indiana Of violating committee pro-
cedure.
Senator johnson is ranking
minority member of the Senate
Commerce Committee which is con-
ducting the hearing. Senator Cape
hart was presiding in the absence
of Senator Tobey, Republican, OF
New Hampshire, temporary head of
the committee.
Senator Johnson's blowup came
as James D. Shouse, president of
the Crosley Broadcasting Corp,
operators of Station WLW in Gin
cinnati, took the stand. He had a
3l-page statement.
Senator Capehart told Mr.. Shouse
he could read the statement, or
place it in the record and speak
orally about it.
Senator johnson said he wasn't
going To stay If Senator Capehart
insisted on violating the rules of
the Senate and the committee.
He contended that the statement
automatically should be put in the
record without being read. He said
Mr.. Shouse should give oral testi-
mony only.
Senator Capehart tried to explain
that he intended no violation. He
said he didn't think he had COM
mitted one. but Senator johnson
would not be satisfied. He stalked
out of the room.

B0sebalL's Upsets

1t may be that the cold, raw,
windy spring has had more than
little to do with the odd aspect
Of the two big league pennant races.
Something has taken place that has
an odd. lopsided look.
For example, if we owned a ball
club and someone had offered us
three pitchers, the odds are we
would have broken both legs in
sprint for EWell Blackwell, Hal
Newhouser and Warren SPAIN.
Well, it so happens that the last
lime we looked we discovered
neither Blackwell nor Newhouser
was among the first 40 in his re-
spective league.
Both had been blasted and bis
tered, start after start, in the NAH
ner of brace of rockies. Also Bob
Teller had been chased to the show
ers two or three times.
Looking over these morbid de-
tails we discovered the Athletics
and Indians leading the league,
and the Browns playing as well as
any other team.
They beat the Yankees in game
that was taken away from them
by poor umpiring, as far as eye
sight goes. This made difference
of two games for the Yankees and
two games for the Browns.

QUESTION:: There is little
crack directly over my sink where
it forms a joint with the plaster
wall. The white plaster used for
filling the crack always comes out.
What can be done?
ANSWER: Before the war it was
possible to get neat, flexible metal
moulding that was made for crack
such as yours. or to cover the crack
at the top of a bathtub. If you cam
not find any of this, fill the crack
with light-colored caulking COM
pound. This resembles putty, but
never becomes hard or brittle. At
ter forcing it into the crack, run
your finger along the surface to
smooth it, and after a few days,
touch it up with enamel to match
the wall.

What Makes q Coach?

Frank Leahy is great coach. He
also has the best material. Does
Leahy make the material great? Or
does the material make Leahy
great? I'll let you answer that one.
There are at least two coaches
l know who have the jump on
Leahy or any other coach you can
mention in the way of what you
might call "a favorable press"
Which isn't unimportant. These
two men are Herman Hickman,
now of Yale, and Bo McMillin, now
of the Detroit Lions.
Hickman and McMillin have
left two big gaps at Army and
Indiana, where they have been
big factors not only as coaches,
but in the way Of popular appeal.
In this season on ahead both
Hickman and McMillin are heading
for rough roads of travel. Hickman
will need all of his art as star
line coach to give Yale first-class
line. The Blue has the backs, but
the line material of other years is
missing-none of those big guards
and tackles is lingering under the
elms.
McMillin has many notches to
climb before his Lions are up with
the Cardinals, Bears, Eagles and
Giants-to mention only few. But
they still will draw a good press
and hold the loyalty of their sup
porters for a year at least-what-
ever happens. When you can do
that in a game as frenzied as foot
ball, you have to be popular.

WARREN WRIGHT, Calumet's
w owner, Ben and Jimmy Jones,
Calumet's two trainers, were look
ing on ahead as the 1948 Preakness
arrived.
They had seen Calumet's Whirl-
away take the money-winning rec
ord away from Seabiscuit. They
had seen the flashy Armed take the
cold cash collection away from both
Assault and Stymie, only to have
Hirsch Jacobs $1,000 claimer re-
gain the lead in the race to be first
to earn million dollars in purses.
Ben and Jimmy Jones are not
quite sure how the veteran Armed
will come along. But both are
pretty sure that whatever Stynie
turns in, Citation will beat it, put
ting Calumet ahead again.
With the Derby purse and over
s25O,O0O under his saddle, Citation
faces the Preakness and the Bel
mont. That will mean close to an
other 100000.
But that isn't all. There is the
American Derby at Chicago-there
is the Massachusetts, Handicap at
Suffolk Downs-there is the Subur-
ban at Belmont-there is the $780,
900 Santa Anita Handicap-there II
so much money on hand that rae
ing can almost match some of these
radio programs where, I under
stand, they will give away entire
states fairly soon.
The big races on ahead for three
year-olds run from $4,000 to $780,
900 and it is quite possible that CT
tation will finish his three-year-old
career above the 100000 spot.
We talked with Ben and Jimmy
Jones about this situation. The
Jones boys are a trifle better
than normally bright citizens.
They would rather talk about
what has already happened - or
what might happen tomorrow
than about what might happen
next month. They are not limb
climbers. They have no use for
limbs. except those limbs belong
ing to Calumet runners.
"You made 100000 or more"
1 said to Parnell Ben a year ago,
"how much will you make this year
with Citation, Coaltown, Fervent,
Armed, Faultless and your two
year-olds, two millions?"
"All l know is what we've won
SO far" Ben said.
Ben Jones counts no purses be-
fore they are collected and put in
the bank. There is a rumor out
that his two-year-olds will soon
chase Citation and Coaltown off the
tracks. 1t could happen.

of yeast helpful or detrimental to a
septic tank? What effect will the
use Of drain cleaners have on a sep
tic tank! Is there any specially de-
signed product on the market to
keep septic tanks in better working
order?
ANSWER: Small quantities of a
drain cleaner can be safely used.
but large quantities will stop bac-
terial action. In such cases, large
volumn Of water should be run into
the tank to carry off the chemicals.
Bacterial action can then be re-
started by dissolving six cakes of
yeast in lukewarm water in a wash
basin and flushing it into the tank.
QUESTION: Is there any way TO
remove the discoloration on my new
plasterwork caused by rain soaking
through the sheathing and insula-
ton?
ANSWER: Stains on the plaster
from the rain have gone all the way
through and cannot be removed.
After the plaster has dried out you
can paint the walls. The alterna-
tive is to cut out the stained part of
the plaster and replastcr.
