HOLLYWOOD KEEPS AT TOP; BANNERS
 TIE up WITH OAKS
By BILL BECKER

Hollywood, first in movies and usually near the last in the Coast League, is blowing it's top today.
 Fred Haney's ever-hustling Stars zoomed to a new altitude-l0 full games above the pack-with a come-from- behind 5 to 4 win last night over San Franciscos sad dened Seals
 The way they did it was typical of the new regime.
 Trailing Az because of Walt Jud- hicks three-run homer, the Stars rapped out four hits in the last of the eighth for three tallies. Mike Sandlock, 253 hitter, drove in two runs to tie the score Then little Johnny O'Neil, batting .209, won the game with single.
 Con Dempsey, going the route, was tagged with his ninth loss, while big Pinky Woods, fourth Hollywood pitcher, checked the Seals in the final two frames for his 18th win.
 Oakland took the bookkeeper's hold on second place-.5192 to- 5l89-over Seattle. The Oaks edged Los Angeles, 8-7, in 10 innings, while the Rainiers were dropping heir sixth straight, 3-l. to Sacra- mento.
 Relief hurler Forrest Thompson won his own game for the Oaks with a 10th inninig single scoring Billy Martin. Thompson held the Angels fairly well after homers by John Ostrowski and Cliff Aterson had routed Rex Cecil. Another four-bagger by Ostrowski and one by Nels Burbrink forced the game into overtime. Cookie Lavagetto homered for the Oaks.
 Orval Groves neat four-hitter and Ralph Hodgin's two-run lease were Sacramento's main weapons against Seattle Denny Galehouse. The Rainiers tallied in the first, drew blanks from then on.
 Portland knocked San Diego into fourth place with Roy Helser best ing Jess Flores. 3-1. Helsers double, Leo Thomas single and steal, and Johnny Suckers bingle provided the winning margin.

EIGHT GAMES, BIG
 LEAGUES AT NIGHT
By JACK HAND

Good old night baseball. How the customers love it.
 A full scale program of eight night games yesterday brought .a bumper crop of l98,l70 paid admis- sions into the treasury.
 Even at l o'clock in the morn- ing, they love it in Philadelphia where some ll,238 watched the Boston Braves wrangle l6-inning decision from the Phillies, 4-3, in q 4 hour l6 minutes struggle.
 It looked as though the Braves and Phils never would finish be- fore the deadline but they finally managed to wind up matters on rookie catcher Del Crandalls fly ball, scoring Mary Rickert from third base.
 Boston's shortstop Alvin Dark was carried off the field after he was hit on the head by a ball thrown by Gran Hammer in the 18th inning. His physician said his condition was not serious
 Largest and most enthusiastic night crowd was at Pittsburgh where 36,366 saw Bill Meyers "darkhorse' Pirates of last spring ring up their seventh straight vic- tory, 2-1, over Chicago.

PUBLIC RELIEF


Statistics of the Department of Com
merce show that expenditures for direct
relief in the year 1948 were more than
double the payments to individuals for
the same kind of relief in 1894.
High officials report statistics show
ing payments to individuals for direct re-
lief-not including Social Security, PEN
sion, unemployment, etc.-by Federal,
State and local Governments. During 1884
Public Relief was S745, 100000. In 1913 it
was $1,727 900, 900.
The Fair Deal" boys in Washington
insist that tits all very well to talk of cut

Well, one place where cuts appear
reasonable is in the broad field of direct

ious parts of the Nation It's time to ask
chow come direct relief to individuals in

WHY GET THE VOTERS QUIT

In nearly every election there Is an
organized attempt to persuade 1ns soters
to register and to participate IN the eiec-
ton at hand. The consequence is that e
\ large number Of voters put tner names
on the books and go to the polls without
having much interest in the issues az STAKE
! in the election
We question the benefit to be gained
by the republican form OF government
[ in the mass herding of citizens at the
polls There is no virtue in the size of
the vote cast, 1t would be much better
in our opinion, to permit voters to follow
their inclination as to registering and as to
voting.
II can hardly be argued that a voter,
lacking the interest necessary to spur
him or her to qualify for the ballot box,
is apt to become suddenly endowed with
wisdom at the polls. It might be much
better to permit elections to be decided
By those who take an interest N govern
ment, are concerned with the issues at
hand and prepared, as good citizens to
participate inteIligently, in the election.
This view runs counter to that of pro-
fessional politicians and do-good reform
ers. It follows the eommon-sense exper-
fence of practically every organization
controlled by its members. On some ques-
tions, there is only slight interest taken by
the members and on others, there is
large turnout. The same rule naturally
comes to mind in connection with elections.
If percentage Of our potential voters
is not interested in the issues to be decided
at the ballot box, they might as well stay
at home, The alternative is to see them
herded to the polls, as mass voting as
per instruction or inducement, and usually
without intelligent concern as to thte work
ings of their government.
