que game played on the Marion high
school athletic field here Saturday
night the Twins from Newton clip
ped the Marion Marauders by a
score Of six to two.
The game was tight from begin
ming to end as one of the best pitch
ers' duals of the season took place
Jack Williams, working for the Ma
rauders, gave up only eight hits
For Newton, Greene, former Ca
t;.wba college great, was just about
as good as he was touched for nine
safeties. Both men went all the way
for their respective teams.
Time and again the Marauders
would get men .on the bases, but it
was hard to bring them across home
plate. l two innings the Marauders
had a man as far as the third sack
with only one away, but the Twins
would tighten their belts and cause
the men to die on the bases.
The big gun at bat for Marion
was Art Billie who had a perfect
night with four for four, just one
hit short of half the hits collected
by the entire Marauders outfit. For
the Newtonites Eddie Walczak led
at the plate with two doubles out
of four trips.

Harry T. Burleigh
Noted Composer Dies

STAMFORD, Conn, Sept.-Fun
eral services were held on Thurs
day at st. Georges Episcopal church
FOR Harry T. Burleigh, Americas
most venerable man Of music who
had sung in the choir of that church
for So years. The noted composed u
deep River and many other folk
songs and spirituals died at a pr
vate hospital here Monday.
Burleigh attributed his achieve
ment in music to the urgings of hi:
mother. Born in Erie, Pa, Dec. 2
1866, he ran errands as a boy, sold
papers, and at one time was lamp
lighter.
He came to New York in 1892 and
while singing in the choir of st.
Phill ps Church heard of a vacancy
for a baritone soloist III the choir
of St George. He competed with
fifty-nine others and was accepted
in 1894. He sang there until retire
ment in 1916.
While attending the National Con-
servatory of Music here on scho!-
arship he got aid from the mother
of Edward MacDoWel who encour-
aged him to arrange the songs Of
his own people and tour America
and Europe. He met Antonin Dvo-
rack, Czech composer who was
president of the conservatory and
who later incorporated his Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot in his New
World Symphony"
Burleigh sang twice for King Ed
ward VII and often in the home Of
j. p. Morgan. In 1880 he received a
Harmon award for distinguished SER
vice. In 1914, he was hOnOred guest
at a reception marking the 5Oth an
niversary of his membership in ST.
George choir. Bishop William Mann
ing eXtolled him and he received
81 500.
John Mccormack, famed Irish
singer, sang his Little Mother of
Mine" repeatedly.
Burleigh learned to sing in He
brew, Latin, Italian, French and
German. He was a charter member
of the ASCAP of which Victor Her.
bert was founder.

An Improved Bill

The Senate District Committee has MADE
some shifts in the burden of taxation, in
amending the House approved sales tax,
that seem fair enough.
It has taken the sales tax off all medic
inal preparations, as well as prescription
medicine, and has left untaxed restaurant
meals costing $3.50 or less. At the same
time it has taxed cigarettes at a penny a
sales tax, has doubled the barrel tax on
beer and raised by so per cent the gallonage
tax on liquor.
These luxuries-cigaretteS, beer and liq-
uor-are already heavily taxed. But not as
heavily taxed as elsewhere and not so
heavily taxed, in the opinion of those COM
petent to Judge, that volume Of sales will
be substantially affected. Certainly 1t Is
more reasonable to raise the same amount
of money by taxing these luxuries than by
taxing such necessities as drugs and in
expensive restaurant meals.
Thus there comes to the Senate local
tax bill that has been perfected by months
of discussion, debate and thorough explora-
ton of alternative methods OF raising the
money In an even harsher form, the
sales tax-the most controversial feature
has been twice approved by the House.
The seven-to-four margin by which the
bill was approved in the Senate commit
tee indicates, however, the opposition that
1t will encounter on the Senate floor.
The burden of proof must rest on this
opposition to show there are other ways Of
raising the money that as practical prop
osition will be approved by Congress, and
that the opposition is capable of mastering
the votes necessary for such approval.
Opposition by obstructionism, such as the
1ilibuster, would cause more damage to the
public interest than the sales tax could
possibly cause.

Corn-Yesterdoy und Today

Every lover OF corn -the-cob will be
pleased to learn that scientific evidence
has been found to confirm the already
widely accepted theory that the succulent
grain Is q purely American product Ac-
cording to this evidence, cavemen in New
Mexico apparently were eating variety of
corn some 1000 years ago, which is good
many years before q similar grain is sup
posed to have been raised In Asia.
One thing is certain. If corn ever existed
anywhere outside the American continent
prior to its discovery" by Columbus, no
Asiatic or European person appreciated its
food value. For 1t was not until Columbus
and his men took samples of the Indian
corn" or maize, back to Europe that men
abroad began to realize what they had
been missing. The ancient ears of corn
found in New Mexican cave by Harvard
Psychologists have additional interest for
botanists, in that the find provides clue
to the mystery of corn's origin. Corn is
one of the few plants which has no known
wild counterpart. As far back as its history
has been traced, 1t has grown only under
cultivation. The specimens just discovered,
however, appear to be missing link be-
tween cultivated corn and the wild product.
One would think that after four
thousand years Of corn eating, man would
have learned how to get the most out OF
the cooked ear. Yet there are many un-
fortunate persons who seem TO be unaware

On USING the A-Bomb

Tne lndlcarlonS are that PRESIDENT
Humans statement of his willingness to
use the atom bomb again in case of need
was not one of those high-policy state
ments in which words and phrases are
carefully weighed and balanced. Appar-
emily he was simply talking off the cuff
TO a group of freshmen Congressman, but
in either event what he had TO say makes
sense.
Mr.. Truman decided to use the bomb
against Japan in the belief 1t would save
the lives Of 200, 900 American soldiers and
perhaps twice as many japanese. He was
criticized for that decision-not by the
boys who would have had to die in the
invasion of Japan, but by second guessers
here at home.
Later on, Mr.. Truman took the lead in
offering to give up this most destructive
of weapons If the world would agree to
an effective system of inspection and
control of atomic development. This I'M
precedented offer was rejected by the
Russians who, knowing that we would
never use the bomb against them except
as defensive measure, preferred to try
to produce their own atomic weapons be-
This, with other factors, has led us to
the point where once again 1t is necessary
to give serious consideration to the possible
use of the atom bomb. There is reason
to hope that the measures we have been
taking-the European Recovery Program
and the Atlantic pact being outstanding
among them-will make for peace and
not for war. Still, the possibility of war
cannot be excluded, and this time 1t
would be war with Russia
II 1t comes to that there will be people
who will cry out against the use Of the
bomb, people who will be even more
bitterly opposed to its use against the
Russians than they were critical Of its
use against Japan. Yet the alternatives
are pretty grim and clear.
In the first place, it is quite likely that
we would be attacked ourselves with
atomic weapons But even If that were
not to happen, it Is unthinkable that any
responsible President would refuse to use
the atom bomb. For to cast that weapon
aside from some misconceived idea of
humanitarianism this time would cost
the lives, not of 100000 American boys
but of millions of our own soldiers who
would have to be thrown into battle
against the Russian Army.
Mr.. Truman is entirely right in serving
notice that in such situation he would
not hesitate to use the bomb again, and
we ought to make very certain that no
man who would hesitate ever gets into
the White House.

The Strange RoweII Cuse

The strange Rowell case grows stranger
with every passing day. The grand jury's
decision to ignore the ARRAY serves to
heighten the mystery. And now the De-
partment of Justice finds itself in the
peculiar position of insisting on bestowing
the protection Of. the Federal civil rights
statute on an assault victim who ap-
parently has no desire to receive this pro-
lection. It is all very confusing.
Out of the weller of conflicting state
ments and inquiries emerges one undis-
puted fact: A citizen was brutally beaten
by two men on public street on January
IA last. The citizen, cab driver named
James Rowell when questioned by police,
insisted he did not know who his assailants
were. But Police Chief Barrett, after a
preliminary investigation, transferred two
plainclothesmen repeatedly named by his
Investigators, with the comment: II think
they are guilty as hell but I've got to get
the evidence to prove it," Presumably he
still lacks the evidence to prove it, for he
has made no move to suspend the officers
or to bring them before the Trial Board.
The grand jury proved no more successful
In getting to the bottom of the mystery
than Chief Barrett
Ordinarily, grand jurys refusal to re-
turn an indictment is sufficient to close the
record on q case. Yet Assistant Attorney
General Campbell Is quoted as declaring
the Federal Bureau of Investigation will
continue its efforts to find If the civil
rights law was violated.
The departments persistence is not de-
void of Justification, for crime, though
not necessarily one which contravenes the
civil rights statute, certainly was COM
mitted. It has been suggested that Mr..
Rowell knows more about his assailants
than he is willing to reveal. and if this
is true the reasons for his reticence might
well be worthy Of further investigation. In
any event, 1t looks as though Mr.. Rowell
Is going to have his civil rights protected
whether he likes 1t or not.
