Douglas 10 Return 10 Desk
7 Hours a Day Next Week
By the Associoteo Press

LONDON, Aug. 11.-American
Ambassador Lewis w. Douglas Will
70 back to his desk next week on
a two-hour-a-day basis.
Oficially his condition, follow
ing an eye operation to correct
last April's injury in a fishing
accident, was described as gen
orally good" But no vision test
will be possible for another month,
Embassy sources said.>.
His return will not entirely quiet
reports recurrent here that the
65-year-old Ambassador will soon
leave the most sought after and
at the same time most expensive
diplomatic post in the American
foreign service. = U
Embassy officials insist Mr..
Douglas plans to remain in Lsn-
don at least until the end OF this
year. Bus private sources close to
his family say he appears very
frail after his operation and would
like to return to the United States
much sooner. They suggest Octo-
Der as a possible date.
These sources say Mr.. Douglas
will likely make a definite decision
on leaving the Court of st. James's
after vision tests determine if the
latest operation has saved the
sight of his injured eye.

Yanks Score Six Points.
The Yankees, hitless for the
three innings against Chuck
Stobbs, young bonus lefthander,
rallied for six runs on eight hits
and two walks In the fourth and
seemed headed for victory number
five.
But the Sox, who had scored
once In both the second and third
innings, went on a scoring spree
of their own In their fourth when
they tailed five times.
Stephens drove In four Of those
runs with his second homer Of the
day. He had his first as leadoft
man in the second inning.
Tied Until 8th Inning.

ing pitcher Frank Hitler paved the
way for the winning runs. Bob
Doerr lined a, double into the left
field corner for one run and then
Sam Mele. hitless in four previous
trips, sliced a triple to right for
the two final runs of the game.

Lake at that point to load the
bases. but retired the next three
Bengal hitters.
Larry Dolby. who has hit safely
in all five Tribe games. opened the
ninth by dragging a successful
bunt down the first base line.
Boudreau fouled twice attempting

even par to Franks 36-37-73 for
the 6,952-yard No. 2 course.
The first six holes produced the
most sustained bit of brilliance
of the tournament. They fired
brides back and forth at each
other with breath taking regular
ity.
Only Four Are Halved.
While Ward was chipping mas
terfully to leave himself short
puts, Stranahan's best effort was
a 30-footer on S for a birdie.
Only four Of the first ID holes
were halved as the contestants
tossed holes back and forth with
almost reckless abandon.
A par-win on 10 put Ward
three-up. Stranahan won Is and
Is with pars and Is with birdie
to pull even.'
Wards par on the 17th gave
him the lead again. but Strana-
hans par on the home hole sent
them to lunch all even.
Afternoon Is Tougher.
The afternoon round produced
no such golf as the earlier holes.
Each came up with an occasional
masterful shot. but for the most
part they were in trouble on al
most every hole. Each visited the
woods, rough and traps many
times in the round. which was
played under a broiling sun.
For the first time during the
match, Stranahan moved ahead
with q par-win on the first hole
of the round. He lost the next
to Wards par and they split the
next two. On 6 Stranahan went
ahead with a birdie and there he
stayed. He added one with q
par on 8.
Ward looked like a sure winner
on the short ninth, when he put
his tee shot eight feet from the
pin. But Stranahan made . 80
footer for a birdie two. Wards
birdie that followed gained him
only q tie.

Whut's The Difference?

A condition, or train of thought, among law enforce
ment officers that has puzzled us for some time is the gen.
eral attitude and righteous wrath that is exhibited towards
the peddling of shiny" or s"moonshine, a liquor distilled
in remote sections of this, and adjoining counties, by en-
~terprising individuals who produce their product and mar
ket it without Uncle Sam, through his agent, the alcohol
tax division of the United States treasury, getting his cut
of the proceeds in the form of taxes.
Now we can certainly understand the interest of the
alcohol tax unit. To them liquor is liquor if it bears an
alcohol tax stamp showing that the proper taxes have been
duly paid. They have no interest in local or state prohibit
ton laws. To them liquor taxes are liquor taxes, whether
they are paid in dry Mississippi or wet Louisiana. There
fore they are the declared enemy of the moonshiner, but
solely on the basis that he has not paid his taxes.
However, under our state prohibition laws liquor is
also liquor, and it is all illegal whether it is of the shiny"
variety, or whether it bears all the proper alcohol tax
stamps, and is sold openly over the counter in fancy bot
ties bearing beautifully Autographed labels, instead of any
handy u~nlabelled container as is the case with shiny"
A person found in possession of a quart or a gallon
of Skinny. is promptly arrested and hauled into court
to pay a fine while the same person lin most instances) in
possession of the same amount of tax paid liquor is let
alone.
1t is puzzling, as we said.
Perhaps the a~ntagonism springs from a desire to pro-
tect the internal organs of the buying public from the haz-
ards of the allen products that sometime go into the
shiny" If this be the case, we think the interest wasted
for we have seen some pretty raw stuff sold openly across
