Ralph Kine.r C|outs
37th Homer as BUGS
Wa||op Phi|s, 81
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. a.
Capitalizing on five errors and
Ralph Kiner's 37th homer of the
season, the Pittsburgh Pirates wal
loped the Philadelphia Phillies,
80, today in the final of a four
game series.
It was Kiner's eighth four-bag-
ger in the last IA games. In 1947
when sluggin' Ralph belted 81
homers, he made his 37th on Aug.
%. Last year, with a total of 40
homers, he didn't crash his 37th
out Of the park until Sept. 5.

|RedskinsL Looked Good
In Debut, But Delay
Claim 10 Greatness
By Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ENROUTE TO DENVER, Aug.
27.-Unless that 1923 victory over
the Los Angeles Rams was mis-
leading the Washington Redskins
may have the best balanced at
tack since 1912 and possibly the
best running game since the days
of Cliff Battles.
But as they rolled tonight to-
ward Denver and Tuesdays game
with the Detroit Lions. older
hands. remembering last years
impressive debut against the same
Rams, refused to be stampeded
into any reckless claims of great
ness. Injuries helped wreck the
Tribe last year, but the veterans
still want to see if the new men
who will make the difference be-
tween a winning or losing season
bear up under the heat of league
play.
Gilmer Comes Through.
One thing certain is that Harry
Gilmer will be able to step into
Sammy Baugh's shoes and handle
the quarterbacking this year. His
direction of the team against the
Rams last night was almost flaw
less. He took his men 10 yards
on seven plays for their third
touchdown with a neatly blended
exhibition of passing and running.
And when Harb Shoener gave him
another chance to score in the
same third period, by knocking
Crazy Legs Hirsch loose from a
punt on the Rams 12-yard line,
Gilmer didn't waste the oppor-
tunity.
For Gilmer, shackled last year
by a crippled leg, it was his first
real chance in the big time. He
was getting out of pigskin stove
pipes and into long pants for the
first time and wore 'em like man.
He threw five passes and COM
pleted three for 10 yards.
All the nice things said about
'Doody' Dowda and Rob Goode
also seem to be true. Goode
showed his inexperience on pass
defense, a trouble that will be
cured only by time. Once running
the ball, he hesitated trif1e too
long looking for an opening
around the outside. He tried to
dance instead of drive and was
spilled. The big Texan has leg
action as good as Steve Van
Buren's, but doesn't know how to
use it. He picked up only II yards
on eight tries, but one yard was
a touchdown plunge.
Dowda Has Best Average.
Dowda's tackle running was
a pleasure to behold. He followed
his blockers well, hit hard and
fast and almost went all the way
on one play. He gained 81 yards
on six attempts. It was the third
best performance behind Eddie
Saenz. with 81 yards on IL tries,
and Ed Quirk. with 80 on Is, but
Doody had the best average, GIG
yards. Before the season is over
he may be the big gun in the
backfield.
1t was hauntingly familiar
pattern the Tribe opened up with
as Sammy Baugh pitched Z con-
secutive passes to lead his mates
to TO lead the second time they
got the ball. Unlike previous
years, however, Baugh's pitching
was not the whole offensive
package.
There; was Dan Sandifer, for
instance. 1t was Dams 94-yard
run on the kickoff after the Rams
had taken a 21-7 lead in the
second half that put the Red
skins back in the ball game. That
was the second of Sandifer's three
touchdowns and was almost
enough to clinch him the most
valuable award for the evening.

RED TAPE vANISHES

It was at this point that Bender went to Vaughan's friend, lobbyist Hunt, the reputed miracle man who was supposed to be able to accom- , plish anything with the Army. Hunt signed a contract with Bend CT April Is, AT, by which he agreed to get the Army to transfer the scrap iron from Carnegie-I Illinois to Bender Hunts fee for this transfer was to be $12,500.
 If the transfer was for the best interest of the Army, of course, no fee or undue influence should have been necessary.
 During their conversations, Hunt introduced Bender to Gen. Vaughan outside Hunts office in the Barr Building as the man I told you about who is interested in that scrap-iron deal" Vaughan had left the White House to Sall at Hunts office. This was the only time Bender actually met Vaughan, though lobbyist Hunt harped on the idea that Vaughan was helping him arrange the transfer.
 Whatever influence was used, the transfer went through with amaz- ing speed-one day and half. For those accustomed to government red tape, this was phenomenal. Four Army teletype messages were exchanged with Germany, where upon the transfer of title from the giant Carnegie Illinois Corporation to little Benny Bender of Shreve- port, La., for all the remaining scrap iron in Germany was accom- plished.
 In the end, the scrap-iron ring in the United States made it diff cult for Bender to sell his scrap and the deal fell through. Bender and Hunt quarreled over payment, and Hunt finally sued Bender for his S12,500 fee. Bender, in turn, took bankruptcy and the fee was settled for $1OOOO.
 But the secret strings by which Vaughan's friend so blithely and quickly transferred the scrap iron from Carnegie-Illinois to Benny Bender still has those who know the Army gasping.

 Juneau, Coast Guard conscious than many towns in the country has to congratulate the USCG on its 159th anniversary It during it's 159th year that the Coast Guard decided to establish district headquarters in Juneau. We hope that when the 160th anniversary of the Coast Guard is cele- brated that headquarters will have been established in Juneau's community built building, that Coast Guard personnel will have found living quarters that they will have been welcomed cordially to town and that by next year, they will have become part of the town

CONGRESSMAN HARDEN AND THE POPE

Congressman Graham Barden of North Carolina, bitterly attacked by Cardinal Spellman over his aid- to-education bill, was in Rome last year where he was received by His Holiness Pope Plus. With the Con gressman was Mrs Barden and their pretty 15-year-old daughter, Agnes.
 Barden and the Pope had a most cordial conversation, following which His Holiness presented the former North Carolina schoolteach- CT with bronze papal pocket piece bearing the likeness of the Pope. He also gave one to Agnes Barden, and in doing so, he took the girls hands in both of his and said: Blessings on you, my beau- tiful child"
 Greatly impressed, little Agnes never forgot that visit A Presby- terian, she sang the Pope's praises to other children when she got back to North Carolina.
 Then, one morning last month she picked up the paper from the front door and brought it to her father. Across the front page were headlines: Cardinal Spellman At Jacks Congressman Barden."
 "Oh, Daddy" exclaimed Agnes, m distress, I'm sure the Pope couldn't have told him to say that"

Bettering Themselves
Christian Science Monitor)


 Education may begin in the nursery, but today it extends to 30000O00 Americans declares the head of the Institute of Adult Education at Columbia University Here is aspect of the American educa tional picture that is distinctly encouraging. Voca- tional training may make up the bulk of the adult education studies now being carried on in the United States but training for better citizenship plays an increasingly important part.
 In a stratified feuda society the aim is to keep each individual satisfied with the station into which he is born Only enough education to fit him for that end is considered desirable. But much of the strength we'll the restlessness Of American society comes from the individuals determination to better himself" The adult education movement is a response to that lively impulse, but it is also an opportunity to help lift the concept of betterment from purely acquisitive to social level
 For indviduaiistc America is slowly learning that the individual has social context and that his precious freedom to advance himself must be paid for by his understanding of and respect for the rights and needs of others To better oneself to make self better, whether as breadwnner citizen. It is too late to strive to make oneself better in both capacities.

WILL VAUGHAN BE OUSTED?

Around the White House it's now said that President Truman is looking for painless way to kick Gen. Harry Vaughan upstairs pro- viding that SOB. Drew Pearson" and the Senate Investigating com mittee don't make things too hot.
 This stubborn loyalty quirk in Harry Truman's makeup has been admired by some people but doesn't benefit the taxpayers or those in- terested in good government.
 Furthermore, the new White House thinking about General Vaughan arises just as another question-mar in the extraordinary life of the General is being raised namely, what connection he had with the attempted purchase of all the remaining army scrap iron in Germany.
 This was another deal involving lobbyist James " Hunt whose diary reads as if he were almost a mem- Der of the White House staff, and who, with Vaughan, once had the Army Band play one of Hunts mu- sical compositions at White House garden party.
 The scrap-iron deal took place in March, l947, when Benny Bend CT of Shreveport, La, went to Ger many and signed a contract with the Army for 150000 tons of scrap iron on behalf of the Carnegie Illinois Steel Company. Returning to the U.S.A., Bender found himself in some trouble with Carnegie Illinois. which apparently had not given him full authority to act and
