COACHES MEET FREMONT
IN BIG GAME SUNDAY

With Dave Krupp striking out
16 opponents during the nine-inn-
ing tilt, the Port Clinton Down
town Coaches handed the Erie
Ordnance Depot squad its eighth
straight defeat Sunday afternoon
at True-Lay field, 8 to l.
1t was the first complete game
Dave had pitched for some weeks,
but he had plenty of stuff and kept
the Soldiers under firm control
except in the sixth inning when
the visitors pushed across their
lone run.
Port Clinton Tailed twice in the
first and third innings and scored
five big runs in the sixth stanza.
Carver and Boyer were the bat
terry mates for +. o. d., while
Butch Podgurski was calling the
signals for Krupp's slants.
The victory enabled Port Clin-
ton to hold second place in the
Ottawa County league with seven
wins and three set backs.
Big Game Sunday
This Sunday afternoon the
Coaches travel to Fremont to
meet the undefeated Herbrand Lo-
cal 914 squad, which chalked up
its 10th consecutive league win
Sunday by defeating Marblehead,
z to 2.
Tug Emery and Gamasfeller
permitted Marblehead only two
hits, which the peninsula players
converted into two runs in the
sixth inning. Fremont combed
Raskosky's offerings for l6 hits.
Ray Coleman, the Coaches vet
eran pitcher who played first
base in place of Krupp, led off in
the sixth inning with triple.
Coleman tried to stretch the hit
into a home run, but was out at
the plate. Five runs were scored
by the Coaches in this inning, on
five hits and two errors.
Erie Ordnance Depot scored it's
lone run in the third inning, but
it was unearned. After fielding
the ball, krupp threw wild to
Coleman and the runner was able
to take second. EOD's pitcher,
Culver, then slashed a single which
scored the lone run for the Wis
itors.

Victory for Mr.. IhIder

Last october the Court Of Appeals
handed down a unanimous decision which
held In effect that public housing in the
District was subject to the local rent con-
troll law and that Uncle Sam, in the cir
cumstances, was just another landlord.
The Star commented favorably on this
opinion. It made sense. The editorial.
however, provoked a strongly dissenting
letter to the editor from John Ihlder,
executive off1cer of the National Capital
Housing Authority. 1t seemed to The Star
at the time that Mr.. Ihlder used the edito-
rial, instead of the courts opinion, as
convenient whipping boy for the expression
of his own disagreement
But that was a logical thing to do and
the purpose Of this editorial is to record
In these columns the fact that Mr. Ihlder
has been upheld unanimously by the
United States Supreme, Court, which has
reversed the Court of Appeals decision.
Every contention that Mr.. Ihlder made to
show the error of the latter decision seems
to have been amply supported by Justice
Burton and his brethren, with no sugges-
ton of dissent
While the Supreme Court opinion did
not so much as mention The Star editorial.
even in footnote, The Star herewith Acknowledges
that its own opinion to have been completely
and even ruthlessy ignored

To Build Strong Leadership

The House evidenced q proper concern
for the morale and efficiency of the armed
forces, when 1t passed, without modifying
amendments, the already modified service
pay bill. In rejecting amendments that
would have Disseminated further against
the higher officers, the Representatives
had fresh in their minds the grave warn
ings issued by Generals Bradley and Esen-
hover against permitting deterioration OF
military leadership. These warnings could
be taken lightly only at great risk to the
Nations security.
It is too bad that the House saw ut to
recommit the original pay bill, which was
fair to every one in the services, from the
private In the ranks to the generals and
admirals. The new bill provides raises for
all servicemen, but the cuts made by the
COMMITTEES In the increases for higher ON
GERS were wholly unjustified when the ind
ings Of the Hook Commission are consid-
cred. It win take a lot more than the
increases Of from 10 to 81 per cent In
of,cers' salaries to bring the higher pay
levels up to those prevailing In industry
for duties OF comparable import.

Not Responsive to Threots

Time and experience Will cnange many
Of the existing patterns in racial segrega-
ton here and the effect of such changes
Is apt to be more permanent and generally
acceptable than those which are enforced
under the pressure of threat and ukase.
That is particularly true OF neighborhood
play areas, so intimately connected with
the dual system Of public schools, which
fall under the administration Of the Rec
reation Board. The board majority ex-
pressed that thought as the philosophy
underlying its policy at the meeting on
Tuesday and most reasonable people will
agree with it. The boards statement con-
tained review of some of the changes that
have taken place, with complete success,
over the past few years; of others that are
about to be made and Of still others that
are contemplated after due consideration.
One may understand, without agreeing
that it is wise or justified, the impatience
Of those who wish to see everything done
quickly because that sort of action hap
pens to accord with certain abstract prin-
ciples of desirable conduct They will not
be satisfied with the policy outlined by the
board and the more rude and reckless
among them will resort to name-calling
and ridicule in expressing their dissent In
doing this, they hinder rather than help
the process of change. And it IS respect
fully suggested to officials of the Depart
ment of Interior. who have resorted to
every sort Of pressure to Ak votes on the
Recreation Board, that they try change
Of attitude, and leave the local admins

The Penny Coming Bock

The penny is coming into its own again
when the District sales tax goes into effect
on August I. Officials of the Treasury
have prepared for increased demand for
the least Of the Nations coins. There will
be no shortage Of coppers. A plentiful
supply was provided by Director Of the
Mint Nellie T. Ross long ago. The sales
tax Is q revenue device to which many
States have had recourse ever since the
depression Of the 1s30s. What Congress
has done In passing the new levy is simply
to authorize for Washington the same pro-
cedure and technique found effective in
other parts Of the country. The basic unit
of the sales tax, Of course, is the hundredth
fraction Of the dollar.
It always has been so, whatever the
revenue pattern involved. The penny is
as old as history. It has borne many
names during successive ages. The exact
value of the token, naturally enough, has
varied from generation to generation. For
example, the two mites cast into the box
by the widow referred to by both Luke and
Mark actually were known as lepta, worth
approximately third OF United States
cent Of today. The two sparrows. sold for
farthing," in Matthew 1929 were priced,

last great speech in Henry vIII."

Kings Of England was silver coin, ample

labor. It rose TO be the equal of the NTH

the House has done to safeguard the

REORGANIZATION Makes Progress

Although 1t Is compromise measure
and hence not so effective one as the
President and the Hoover Commission had
hoped for-the reorganization bill finally
agreed upon by Senate and House con-
ferees could result in far-reaching, long
overdue changes in the Government struc
ture. Whether any of these changes can
be wrought at this session Of. Congress
remains in doubt, however. It all depends
on the date which Congress fixes for
adjournment.
Under the compromise, either house
may veto a presidential reorganization
plan by constitutional majority" which
means a majority Of all members Of either
body. The one-house veto provision, writ
ten into the Senate bill, was opposed by
President Truman and Mr.. Hoover, on the
ground that 1t interposed an extra obstacle
to reorganization. The possibility Of a
one-house veto is considerably lessened,
however, by the requirement that 218
members Of the House or 40 Senator'S must
disapprove a plan to kill it.
It is gratifying that the conferees agreed
to eliminate the House proviso for sep
arate package" treatment of certain inde-
pendent agencies. The Hoover group had
vigorously opposed such preferential con-
sideration for any branch of the Federal
establishment, including the Army Engi-
neers.
II Senate and House now accept the COM
promise proposed by their conferees, the
way Is open for the President to prepare
and submit to Congress a program to
modernize the Executive Establishment
along business-like lines. Unfortunately,
there Ia no possibility of action at this
session unless Congress votes to adjourn
later than the July 81 date set In the
Congressional Reorganization Act Since
1t is necessary that any reorganization
plan lie before Congress at least sixty days
before It becomes law for lack Of q veto,
the session would have to be extsrded
into the middle Of August to insure action
at this session. The Star believes that
reorganization is important enough to the
welfare Of the Nation to Justify Congress
in staying on the job long Enough to give
the reorganization program head start
