NEWC0kBE HURL5
 DODGERS TO so
 WIN OVER GIANTS
By RALPH RIDDEN

The baseball world laughed when Branch Hickey hung a $500,000 price tag on Don Newcombe be- fore the big Negro righthander eyer donned a major league uniform.
 Laughter turned to snickers when the head man of the Dodgers "slashed" the price to $300,000 this spring. Today they're not even smil- ing, just wishing that they owned Fort Knox and its gold.
 Newcombe is the "solid' member of an otherwise shaky Brooklyn pitching staff.
 The husky Negro hasn't any trick pitches, no sliders, screwballs or junk. Just a hopping fast bah, sharp Icreaking curve and change of pace.
 Newcombe looked like a million dollars last night as he pitched the Dodgers to an so five-hit triumph over the New York Giants in the Polo Grounds.
 The victory was his third straight shutout and his 14th of the season against six defeats. The triumph also moved the second place Dod- gers to within a game and half of the idle front-running St. Louis Cardinals.
 The defeat dumped the Giants into fifth place, the Philadelphia Phillies taking over fourth as re- suit of their 6-3 victory over the Boston Braves. The Phils won the game in the eighth inning, scoring three runs to snap 3-3 tie. Willie Jones singled across two of the runs.
 AMERICAN LEAGUE , Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox made hay in the American League pennant chase, crushing the Phila- delphia Athletics, 8-4 under the lights in Boston. The victory cut the New York Yankees lead over the runner-up Sox to two and one half games. The Tanks were idle. f
 The Sox jumped on Phil Mar childon for five runs in the first inning. Bobby Doerr keynoted the uprising with three run homer Virgil Trucks pitched the Detroit n n A..s, H<, Chicago White Sox in the majors lone day game. Trucks yielded ten singles but kept them well scattered to gain his 18th victory. Besides the Tanks and Cards, the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Browns, Washington Senators, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs were idle.

The Present Law Providing for
Referendums On Liquor Had
Better Be Left Alone

in North Carolina. What the
younger voters think about Pro
hibition, how they would split
on the question in a statewide
referendum election, nobody
knows. Those who would vote
for Prohibition would be more
excusable for such an error,
since they have had no first-hand
acquaintance with Prohibition,
than would be the people who
are old enough to have seen Pro-
hibition in operation and there
fore cannot have forgotten what
a farce and a failure it was. (Of
course the word Prohibition as
used here means the Prohibition
law. There was never real Pro
hibition; it was never anything
but legal felton,
A new statewide Prohibition
law would bring about an even
worse state Of affairs than exist
ed under the old law. North
Carolina has 1,200 miles or more
of border separating it from
states in which there is free
legal sale of liquor. Forty-one of
the States one hundred counties
lie along the border, and, in
these days of paved roads and
high-powered automobiles, many
other counties are not more dis
tant from neighboring states, by
the measure of time, than an
hour or 50 of easy riding. There
is already great quantity of
liquor bought in Virginia, South
Carolina, Tennessee, and Geor-
gia by the inhabitants of so
called dry counties in North
Carolina, and statewide Prohi-
bition would increase this traf-
fic by outlawing the sale OF
liquor in the 26 counties that
now have legal liquor stores.
BootIegging, which has not been
entirely eliminated but has been
considerably reduced, would
take a new lease on life. And
millions Of dollars that now
come, as tax revenue, to the
State, to the counties with legal
liquor stores, and to municipali-
ties within those counties, would
60 to the bootleggers instead.
The lesson of experience is that
Prohibition would be attended
by o deterioration of law-enforce-
ment agencies and by widespread
corruption.
OF course there is no such
thing as q perfect solution Of the
liquor problem. The best the
State can hope to do, in choos-
ing among the possible courses
Of action with respect to liquor,
is to, choose the least objection
able. That is to say, it must
make a choice of evils. The
worst choice it could make would
be TO restore Prohibition.
The assertion that the demo-
cratic principle demands o state
wide referendum on liquor is
without sense. The North Caro-
lima statutes already provide for
q form of referendum that is
more democratic, and more in
accord with the ideal of self
government, than a statewide
referendum would be. The peO-
pie of any county have the right
to decide whether or not that
county shall have legal liquor
stores; and in any county that
already has stores an election TO
determine whether or not they
shall be abolished must be called
by the county commissioners If

g. w. Student Expresses Hope
Red Deserter Can Come to u. S.

James P. Eilers, Is, a George
Washington University student.
sat down yesterday and wrote
a letter to his Russian acquain-
tance, Arnee Kohn, %.
They had met in Frankfurt
three years ago. Mr.. Eilers was
then a lieutenant in the United
States Army; the Russian, a SER
geant in his army. Mr.. Eilers
told the Russian about his home
town. Baltimore, and said he
would show him the sights If he
ever came to this country.
A few days ago, the Russian
got himself in the news-and Mr..
Eilers, too. The Russian showed up
in the American zone of Munich,
Germany. and told authorities
he had deserted, hoping "to go
to America and meet 1t. Eilers
again-he has changed my life
completely"
Mr.. Eilers felt this called for
some response. So when classes
closed for the weekend, he wrote
this letter:
Dear Arnee-I was very
pleased to hear that you made
your way into the American zone
of Germany.
Although 1t has been three
years since we met in Franfut,

there. Even though we have never
had contact with each other since
I have been wondering what you
have been doing and how you were
making out.
Il knew you were dissatisfied
with the Russian Army. You
remember that we talked of youl
attempting to come to the Unitec
States and I hoped at that time
that some day you would be able
to make the trip. so I could take
you around to all the places we
talked about and meet the people
over here.
Since you have made this
heroic effort in breaking out OF
the Soviet zone. I would like tc
extend the invitation to you te
come to visit me in Washington
Il have made inquiries and
have talked to the proper au-
thorities to find out what you
have to do to come to the United
States and have been told that
you have to sign up with the
consul in Germany. There are
many thousands ahead of you on
the list because so many want to
come here. But it is not hopeless
II will do everything in my
power here to help you get to
the United States. -
II would like you to be able to
be on the Voice of America broad
cast to Russia. We are the same
age, OF the same generation, and
I know you have a message to
give your people about what you
know of our way of life. I hope
you'll soon get to know lot more
This is marvellous example Of
the way in which you and I, for
example, American and Russian
can be brought together in a
friendly association if there Is no
iron curtain or dictator to pre-
vent the free exchange of infor-

Eizensmiths were transferred to
the Willard Lipscomb farm al

Mr.. Walker said these farms
had been on waiting lists to hire
displaced families. He said the
Virginia Office had nothing to dc
with settlement of the families
in Fairfax, and did not know how
they arranged to come there.
Original Application Approved.
Mr.. O'Connor said his commits
sion approved the application o1
Mr.. Forsberg to bring the five
families to his farm. Mr.. O'Con-
nor said Mr.. Forsberg already had
the names of the families he
wanted, and provided the re-
CURED assurances that there
would be adequate housing.
Mr.. Forsberg got in touch with
the Latvian group through. the
Lutheran Inner Mission Society
The Latvian's request for reset
tlement in America was turned
over to the society by the Farmers
Cooperative. where the groups
leader. Mr.. Brinkis, had written
for information.
Mr.. Forsberg said he had ex-
pected the families to arrive in
April. and had made arrangements
to quarter them in a tourist camp
during the off-season spring
months while they helped him put
the farm houses in shape. He
said their arrival later in the
summer broke up his arrange
ments and he. could not get the
accommodations for them as he
had planned.
Mr.. O'Connor said the Virginia
agency has been established since
Mr.. Forsberg's request was
handled and all requests for DPS
in the Old Dominion now are
channeled through the State of =
flee.
Mr.. Walker brought with him
the farmers who wanted to en-
ploy the Latvian families. With
the help of an interpreter. the
little group was able to arrange
directly with their new farmer
bosses about wages, living condi-
tions and other things. One thing
that bothered them was whether
they would be mentally backward
about using mechanical equip
ment.
Everybody got spruced up for
the trip to their new homes. The
children were wide-eyed when led
into a shiny Lincoln sedan. The
men rode on a truck to watch
their possessions.
The families will be close enough
to visit one another. And it will
not be strange If Otto's name is
often heard when his friends meet
for years to come.

By MoN Lou Werner

Otto Prinkalns died last week
three days after he arrived in this
country but his death has proved
to be the turning point to a better
life for his friends.
Otto and his family were among
five Latvian families who came
from a German displaced persons
camp about two weeks ago to
work on the Fairfax County farm
of Allen Forsberg.
| For months the little band that
had been together in the Nuern-
berg camp since 1916 waited their
turn to come to America. They
had made all arrangements TO
come to a dairy farm where they
could live and work together
building a new life.
Their new home near Centre
vile had been pictured in 2 let
ter as a fine place-with plenty
of room for everybody. Two good
houses" the letter from Anec ica
said.
House Already Occupied.
But they found instead a ram
shake farm house with most of
the rooms already occ lp,ed by
American farm hands. The five
families-19 men. women and
children-had to crowd into four
small rooms There was not
enough furniture and many of
them slept on mattresses On the
floor.
There was no furniture at all
in the second farm house, and it
needed lot of fixing up before
anyone could live in it.
Otto died July 6 after three
days OF. what he had hoped would
be a life of opportunity in
America. Everyone mourned his
death-Otto had been one Of them
so long. @5
But news Of Otto's death
brought a Lutheran minister, en-
ployes of displaced persons agen-
cies and newspaper reporters to
the farm. This gave Otto's COM
panions their first opportunity to
tell about their living conditions.
That was week ago. Since
then, Otto's widow and three chill
dren have been taken to a home
in Baltimore until arrangements
are made to place them perma-
nently.
Officials Make Inquiries.
