Brooklyn May Keep
Jethroe

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Did
Branch Hickey say that Sam Jeth-
roe would be Brooklyn's left fielder
next year in private conversation
to some of his friends. Reputedly
for sale at very fancy price, Jeth-
roe is making a terrific reputation
in the International League, being
one of the three men from his team
to make the leagues all star team.
1t had been reported that Mr..
Hickey wanted a couple Of hun
grand for the colored speedster who
will certainly thrill big leagues with
his fancy footwork. If Hickey holds
on to HON = he will draw more than
that in box office as has Jackie Rob-
inson and Roy Campanella and
what good would half million
bucks for Newcombe have done in
a pennant race - where the big
fellow has reeled off Is wins and
leads the league in stirkeiuts. Mr..
Hickey must be spoofing again. He
is clever that way.

Jethroe And
Bankhead Sold
by Dick Edwards

New York - (CNS) - Sam Jeth-
roe and Dan Bankhead two out
standing performers on the Brook
Ign Dodgers ontreal farm team,
have been sold to the Boston Braves,
according to word emanating from
a confidential source in Boston. The
deal was allegedly consumated in
the latter part of August and cash,
to the tune of 100000 is reported
To have been added to the Golfers
of the Brooklyn Dodgers and a
goodly share of this will find it's
way into the pockets of one Branch
Hickey head of the Brooklyn or
ganlzatiOn.
Jethroe, who is one of the great
est players ever to don a Montreal
uniform, is forty stolen bases ahead
of the fleet Jackie Robinson who
also Joined the Major leagues after
years apprenticeship at Montreal.
The fighting-fast Sammy is reported
to be faster on the basepaths than
Jackie Robinson and is hitting we'll
over the 300 mark.
Bankhead is the leading Montreal
pitcher and was up with the bod
gers during the tail-end of the 1947
season when he was hoisted from
the Memphis team Of one Negro
American Leagues Memphis team.
Dan Bankhead finished the season
with the Dodgers but was farmed
out to st. Paul of the American AS
ISOLATION for 194S and hiked to the
Montreal team for the current cam
.paign. He is pitching in sensational
fashion.
The irony Of the reported deal is
that Jethroe and Jackie Robinson
were taken to the Boston Red Sox
for a try out" when that team was

THE DODGERS

Long Don Newcombe is bearing
out the predictions of this corner
and notching his way toward the 20
game mark, racking up his fifteenth
win at this writing. Beef breezed in
a win over the Boston Braves to
rack up a win over his old nemesis.
This completed the circuit for Don
aid and the only thing he can do is
to beat the teams again because he
now has win over each National
League team.
NeWcombe is going to be a hard
man to bring into the fold comes
contract signing time because he is
constantly reminding the public that
he can only determine how great
he is by the size of the contract he
preferred by the Hickey man.
This must cause Hickey to vince,
cause the guy who pitched 32 score
less innings carries a big bat along
with his strong arm. With both
Robinson and Newcombe demanding
a stars wage we don't rightly know
what Mr.. Hickey will do but We do
know that he has a way Of coming
the boys into line for much less than
they are worth. Well See

She wants to develop two
groups: one of adult men and
women and another made up of
younger people. In this later

S7,000-9,000 Housing
Action by Next Spring
Planned by Democrats
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

Democratic leaders plan to push
for action by spring on a new
middle-crossing housing program
which they expect President Tru-
man to present to Congress.
Mr.. Truman repeatedly will set
forth the general objectives of the
program in his state of the union
message next week. Senate sources
consulted by the White House said
a preliminary draft of legislation
is ready. They said the bill con-
templates the building of homes
by private industry at a price
which families of moderate in
come can afford with emphasis
on dwellings selling at from $1,000
to $1,000.
Follows Sparkman Bill.
Such legislation would in that
regard follow the pattern Of q
bill. sponsored by Senator Spark
man. Democrat, of Alabama.
which already has been approved
by the Senate Banking Commit
tee. The bill was shelved In the
last-minute log jam at the last
session, but the leadership prom
ised that it would get early atten-
ton in 1850.
Action by spring will be sought
because a stop-gap law put
through last October and continu-
ing the old program Of Govern
ment home loan insurance and
mortgage-buying expires March
81.
The Sparkman bill and report
edly the administrators new
measure provide for liberalizing
home loan insurance terms to
make smaller down payments pos
sible.
Both measures are designed to
supplement the public housing
and slum clearance program en-
acted at the last session.
Bond Program Studied.
The administration bill is said
to call for a broad cooperative
housing program to be financed
by issuing bonds. Who would
issue the bonds is still under study.
The cooperative housing Sec
tion of the Sparkman bill has
proved to be the most contro-
versial part Of the whole measure,
mainly because 1t provides for
81 .000. 900. 900 in direct Govern
ment loans. It never has had
administration blessing and 1t
met with plenty Of Republican

Industrial Production
Only 8 or 996 Below
1948, NAM Reports
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Despite
the business decline in the first
half of 1949, and the fall strikes,
manufacturing production for the
year will total only 8 or Q per
cent below 1948, the National AS
|sociation of Manufacturers esti-
mates.
If 1850 manufacturing output
remains within 5 or 10 per cent
of the 1949 average. either way.
we can anticipate q satisfactory
overall operating rate in indus
try" said year-end report by
MANS research department.
There would be relatively few
bottlenecks on the one hand and
relatively new instances of extern
sive idle equipment on the other
hand.
I'VE have today the greatest
and most enviable productive
mechanism of any nation in the
world. That mechanism is about
81 per cent larger than it was in
1889, and with pent-up demands
and special needs already rather
well satisfied, a sensible initial
objective for 1850 would be a
total physical output to match
that of 1949. rather than the levels
of 1947 and 1948."
The study report said dollar
figures on profits of leading cor
porations in the first nine months
of 1949 revealed a decidedly mixed
trend: while steel and automo-
bile profits rose 26 and 50 per cent.
profits in the textile and garment
field fell off So per cent. pulp and
paper profits dropped A per cent
and in the oil industry the decline
was % per cent"
1T is fortunate that the econ
omy as a whole has averaged out
so well, because that makes it less
difficult for some industries to
Withstand the shocks Of read
justments in volume, prices, costs
and profits. They have at least the
advantage Of a strong general eco
nomical framework within which
to work out their problems Of re-
covery," the report said.

Administrative Aide S
Bid 10 Unseat Tobey
Watched Closely Here
By the Assoeiofed Press

Most Senators and all of their
administrative assistants are
watching an unusual Senate pri-
mary race in New Hampshire
these days. g
The contestants are:
Senator Tobey. Republican in
cumbent and at the age of SO one
Of the most energetic and explo-
sive members of Congress.
J. Wesley Powell, former ad-
ministrative assistant to Senator
Tobey's Republican colleague.
Senator Bridges.
The voting that will settle their
scrap comes September IL, 1850.
Mr.. Powell, only "a and an at
torney and World War II veteran.
is the first Of the 96 Senate ad-
ministrative assistants ever to
make bid for the Senate.
Resigned $4,000 Post.
He gave up his $4,000 a year
job with Senator Bridges before
making formal announcement
that he would try to unseat the
veteran Tobey.
The new posts OF administrative
assistants to Senators were created
by a 1916 act. The job is supposed
to go to an expert who can do work
for the lawmakers. 49,
Previously secretaries to Sena-
tors have won Senate places
through appointments and elec-
tions. Senator O'Mahony. Demo-
crat. Of Wyoming. at one time was
a Senate secretary.
But the thing that has Senators
and their administrative assis-
tants talking is the fact that Mr..
Powell would step out of Senator
Bridges Office to try to beat Sen
ator Tobey in the same State and
the same party.
There has been no public break
between the two New Hampshire
Republican Senators although they
often are on opposite sides on
major issues.
Senator Tobey has a record of
never having lost an election con-
test in a steady climb from town
selectman, up through both houses
of the State legislature, Governor,
member of the House and finally
the Senate.
Although Senator Bridges at So
is the senior Senator, having
served since 1887. aides Of Senator
Tobey say he gave Senator Bridg-
es his first official Job as a mem
ber of the New Hampshire public
service commission in 1880 when
Senator Tobey was governor.

Senator Bridges has been one
Of the leaders on the so-called

lican opposition to the Truman

Senator .Tobey, on the other
hand, frequently has backed pro-
grams of Democratic administra-
tions. At other times he has been
one Of their most caustic critics.
