Owner Philip X. Wrigley told OF
these changes yesterday . few
hours before the Cubs slipped into
the National League cellar after
being whipped Ga by the Boston
Braves. while the Pittsburgh Pr
rates downed the New York
Giants.
The change was for the best
interest Of the club" Grimm told
baseball writer's.
Grimm Takes the Rap.
"Mr Wrigley few into New York
and We talked over the entire
situation, He was worried about
my health and that the poor show
ing of the team might be injurious
to me
The players have given me
their best and I'll take the rap
for our showing just as I gave
them credit for winning three
pennants in 10 years for me as
manager.
There's nothing wrong with my
health. OF course, I'm disap-
pointed. who wouldn't be?
II didn't want to be kicked up
stairs. We talked 1t all over and
Wrigley convinced me he needed
q baseball man in the front ONCE
because baseball has become such
a vast business.
"A big league club needs one
man TO handle the business end
and another to run the baseball
end"
'As soon as we agreed I'd handle
the baseball part Of the business
1t was put UP TO me to select
manager and I suggested Frisch.
Wrieley arranged to get him. I've

pro circuit, who qualified ut Chevy
Chase, made that q bad bet with q
SO which gave him 142 at the
halfway mark. Then Middlecoff
with an opening rs and even par
for seven holes Of the second
round, found the touch.
Middlecof. who has been picked
by almost everybody in the game
to win the National Open for the
last two years. missed only one Of
the tight fairways all day. He
rolled six long puts and what is
more important, gained tremen-
dous amount of confidence.
Uses Wood on 18th.
Most players used an iron of
the tee on the treacherous 18th.
where q good drive often bounds
into the woods. But Middlecoff
said he was getting nervous and
didn't want to risk O long second
shot to the 18th so he selected q
driver. He clouted his tee shot q
country mile down the fairway
and had only q half-wedge to the
green.
Brosch, whose best previous per-
formance in the National Open
was sixth at Detroit in 1887. has
been the most consistent with 10
and II. the only sub-par total to
date. But even the partial mem
bers of the New York press con-
cede that Brosch hardly is the type
to stand against the 36-hole grind
Of the Open final today.
Lew Worsham, Washington s
1947 titlist. is six shots back and
hanging on the ropes after q 76
that left him excusably burned.
Lew played better tee to green
golf In his second round than in
his opening II. but i've puts hit
the back. spun around and stayed
out. He had one birdie and that
one was q "gimmie."
Samuel jackson Snead, still the
biggest drawing card but far from
the best player to date. posted q
second unexciting 73 for 146. Like
Lloyd Mangrum. who Is far back
at 148. Sam doesn't like the course
and he is playing without conf
dence. He is not the Sammy Of
the Masters and the PGA.
Isaacs Has Two 73s.-
Tied with Snead but justifiably
proud instead Of disappointed at
his showing is q Middle-Atlantic
PGA representative. Langley
Fields Jack Isaacs. Jack went
over par on two Of the last three
holes for q second straight IS, and
except for that slip would have
been among the low seven.
Claude Harmon Is q threat at
143 and tied with him is Clayton
Heafner. who shot q final 30 the
last time he was in serious con-
tention for the Open title. 1t was
In Philadelphia in IL that Heaf-
ner finished $3.50.
1t took 36-hole totals of $50 or
better to qualify and the casual
ties were many, headed by Byron
Nelson, who had one too many
with ISL. Those who slipped from
the first days pace included Ralph
Guldahl. with rs for 146. which
left him i've shots back OF the
lead. Bobby Locke moved into
contention with II for 145 and
Pete Cooper stuck In with 7S for
IA, but 1t still looks like Middle

DEFINING Indiqency

Harassed hospital authorities will well
come the news that the District Com
nissioners are expected shortly to issue
a new definition of indigency within the
meaning of the unsupported hospitaliza-
ton program for private hospitals here.
The whole program has been hampered
by confusion as to what Congress meant
when it authorized the District Govern
ment to reimburse nine voluntary insti-
tutions for free hospital care to INDECENT
residents. The question at issue was
whether or not to apply to the private
hospitals the same standards of eligibility
as are in effect at Gallinger, the municipal
hospital.
District Health Officer Rutland with
considerable logic. had recommended that
no distinction be drawn between patients
accepted for free disqualification at Gal
lnger and those accepted on an emergency
basis at the private hospitals. But the
Corporation Counsel's Office has Indicated
its belief that the law authorizing extern
sion of the indigency program to the nine
approved hospitals precludes acceptance
of semi-indigents of the type which Gal
linger accepts on partial payment basis
Now, however Corporation Counsel Yer
non E. West is reported to have decided
that absolute indigency is not pre-
requisite to eligibility for free hospitaliza-
ton under the unsupported program
In other words, a patient does not have
to prove that he is complete pauper
In order to receive emergency hospitaliza-
ton at private hospital at District ex
pense. If he is able to pay some part Of
the cost of care-fxed at nine dollars
day under ct-approved agreement
with the hospitals-the partial payment
will be collected from him, as lis done at
Gallinger. While it is proper to exercise
care in determining the scope of any tax
financed free care plan, there does not
seem to be any good reason for having
one set of admission rules for Gallinger
and another set for private hospitals
rendering similar public service. The pro-

Welcome to New Members

dinner tomorrow with the Washington
Board of Trade as host will symbolic the
con1munity's welcome to new members of
the Eighty-f1rst Congress. 1t will provide
an opportunity for some of the most
recently elected members of our local
legislature to meet some of their District
of Columbia constituents.
The relationship thus marked will be
recognized as unique in America. The
hosts had nothing to do with the selection
of their distinguished guests. These were
chosen by everybody else in America ex
cept the hosts. The hosts are members of
community that does not vote. 1t is
the sole community which depends exclu
sively for its government on the represen-
tatives of all the other communities in
tl1e country
Keeping that point in mind, the new
members of the Eighty-frst Congress will
come to understand some of the attributes
of their newest constituency which other
wise would appear to be so illogical.
They will find themselves held respon-
sibe for many acts of commission or omis-
sion which normally would be the
responsibility of the people who live here.
They will soon find themselves voting
fer congressional appropriations of upward
of 500, 900, 900 to run this city for a year,
yet only small proportion of that amount,
say 10 per cent. falls in the category of
the Federal funds contributed by all Fed
eral taxpayers. which usually occupy the
attention of Congress- The rest is drawn
from levieS on the only population in the
country which knows the precise meaning
of taxation without representation.
They will find themselves involved in
debate on relatively trivial matters of
municipal administration which. as men,
hers of Congress representing all the Ma
ton. they must believe should be left to
the people directly affected by municipal
laws and regulations.
They will find that their election to
Congress carries with it peculiar respon-
sbility. written into the Constitution itself,
to the city which is the national seat of
government. But they will find that it is
q divisible responsibility. one that falls
between the people of the Nation in
respect of their Capital City and the local
community of loyal patriotic. intelligent
Americans who make Washington their
home
And they will find that the important
question which confronts them lies in
the fairness and the wisdom with which
this responsibility is divided the just ap-
portionment of obligation between the
people of the country who take pride in
their American Capital and the men,
bers of the community who, without voice
IN their government are taxed for the
lions share of its support and made sub
iect to its laws.
The community's hope is that the asso-
citation which begins today between the
new members of Congress and their vote
less constituents in Washington will be
long and happy one The newly inherited
members will find, as others have found
before them opportunities for service to
the people of the Nation by conscientious
service to the people of Washington.

The Dissenting Opinion
Judges Urged to Proclaim Their Articles of Faith
So That All May Read Them

narrow legalistic notions that dominated the
thinking of one generation.
So it is that the law will always TEEN with
uncertainty. 1t has always been the case-and
it always will remain that way under the
democratic scheme of things. The truth Is that
the law is the highest form of compromise
between competing interests: it Is a substitute
for force and violence-the only path to peace
man has yet devised. 1t is the product of
attempted reconciliation between the many
diverse groups in. society. The reconciliation
Is net entirely a legislative function. The
judiciary is also inescapably involved When
judges do not agree, 1t is sign that they are
dealing with problems on which society itself
is divided. 1t is the democratic way to express
dissident views. Judges are to be honored
rather than criticized for following that tradi-
ton, for proclaiming their articles of faith so
that all may read.
The crises that face a democratic country
under the stresses and strains of modern
society are shared by judges The judiciary
is coordinate branch of government, bear
ing great responsibilities The Judge that
writes his own predictions into the law in
disregard of constitutional principles or the
legislative or executive edicts that he inter-
prets is not worthy of the great traditions of
the bench. The judge that quavers or retreats
before an impending crisis of the day and finds
haven in dialectics or weasel words or sur
renders his own conviction for a passing ex-
pediency is likewise not born for the woolsack,
We must expect of judges the fortitude and
courage that We demand of all other servants
who man our public posts. If they are true
TO their responsibilities and traditions they
VIII not hesitate to speak frankly and plainly
on these great issues coming before them
They will prove their worth by showing their
independence ana fortitude.

Movinq Toward Stability?

With statistics from the Department OF
Labor and other sources showing a slight
but continuing decline in retail prices and
similar barometers of the cost of living,
there is more than little ground for hope
that imitation may at last have run its
full course in America.
Although the downward trend has been
observed only in the past few months, and
although it has been minor in terms OF
percentages, it has been steady enough to
suggest that If it continues at its present
rate, it will substantially improve the pur-
chasing value of the dollar within the
coming year. In the field of both manu-
featured goods and food enthusiastically
meat--supply is catching up with demand;
indeed, in some categories. it seems to
be more than balancing it, with the result
that certain businesses are finding it
necessary-for the first time since the war
to 60 out looking for customers.
1t is still too early, of course. to jump to
conclusions about the delationary influ-
ences that seem to be beginning to work
in our economy. The general agreement
Is that those influences are not likely to
have any serious effect on our full employ
ment and prosperity for some years to
come: the hope is that if they continue
and the "if' here is speculative-they will
serve merely to put a permanent halt to
imitation at stabilized price level lower
than the one that exists now. In other
words, as seen by many economists, the
present downward trend is not the har-
binger of recession but simply suggests
the very real possibility of continuing
slow decline in the cost of living until the
latter dips to a wholesome point and then
remains fairly steady.
But optimism on this score must be eau
tious. Although the supply and demand
situation seems to be moving toward a
balance that should discourage further in
fiation, there are factors of uncertainty in
the picture. Thus, new round of wage
increases conceivably could result in an
other price hike. Thus, too, should the
international situation compel us to make
heavy additional preparedness expendi
lures above those now being discussed for
foreign aid and our defense establishment,
the promise implicit in mild deflation
would soon, vanish.
These and similar reservations to one
side, however, the fact remains that within
recent weeks the dollar has been acquiring
a slightly more robust complexion The

Buqpipes and the BIC

An old Scottish saying declares that it
takes seven years to learn to play the bag
pipes and seven generations to make a
piper. With unbelievable brashness, how
ever, the British Broadcasting Corporation
which has since recanted-asserted in
the closing hours of the old year that when
he gets through the piper makes no music
at all. but only noise.
That the BIC should send out DEGREES
on what is music and what is not is sur
prising enough. But what is truly ap
palling is that that usually circumspect
organization should have so rashly trod
act might well have sent blue bonnets over
the border. Indeed, just prior to the re-
cantation, the Associated Press reported
that the heather at Aberdeen had with
cred. and there was much talk of Scotland
seeding from the United Kingdom.
The foolish piping -is-not- music ruling
was made by BIC legal advisers when ar
ranging telecast of the huge New Years
Eve party given annually by the Chelsea
artists in Albert Hail. London. According
to the musicians union regulations, the Or
chestra could not play during the telecast
But, said the advisers, piping was not
music and could therefore continue through
the program without violating union rules
Even harmonica playing has been de-
clared music by our own James Petrillo
and if the bagpipe lovers of the world do
not swing their claymores. they will blow
up groan of pity for the misguided BIC.

INCEST. fghtingest music in the world
Pipers played for Grecan kings, and early
Christians listed the pipes among the in
Struments of heaven. In the good old days
there was even piping school to provide
The necessary seven years of training and

But perhaps the on again off again rul-

pointed out, the New Year came in on the
gay stirring notes of strathSpey instead
or the dining of drum and saxophone
Possibly the whole incident may be taken
to mean that piping has escaped the mar
row confines of our regulated civilization
and may sound wild and free through the
world, untrammeled by union restrictions
