tendance ever recorded.
They have cracked records
at st. Petersburg, Tampa, Sar-
asOta and practically all other
spots from coast to coast. As
these attendance figures in
clude large number of northern
and midwestern tourists soak
ing up all the sunshine in sight,
it indicates a nationwide inter-
est In the game. Reports from
the Pacific coast indicate the
same general public trend in
the direction of the home run
and double, plus the error and
the bases on balls.
The 1948 season set a new big
league attendance record. Last
year the total was up close to the
1949 record-breaking figure. If
there is any sort of close race, 1850
should reach or pass 100000 and
thereby keep the ballplayer collect
ing his share of the swag.
Whether Ted Williams is actual
ly getting $125, 1000 or Joe DiMaggio
is actually collecting 100000 is
doubted by more than a few big
league club owners and they
ought to know.
But the stars are drawing far
more pay than they ever drew
before, which has made base
ball a profession worth follow
ing for those with fast legs,
strong arms and a healthy bat
ting eye. The club owners are
taking in enough at the gate to
pay a pretty fair ballplayer
from $4,000 to $4,000 which is
more than Wagner, Jajoie,
Matty, jackson and Walsh ever
drew in their historic primes.
For example, last year Chicago's s
Cubs and Pittsburgh's Pirates
drew over million with two teams
that seldom exuded the fragrant
scent of rosebuds. A comfortable
ball park was the main Cub lure
and Ralph Kiner added to the Pi-
rate attendance.

The National Industrial Confer

It proposed immediate enact
ment Of war powers laws to be put

We were helping to feed millions

have to feed the South Koreans,
their number is not great.
President Truman'S statement
that additional funds for the De-
fense Department would be con-

much additional demand for mill

without disrupting the civilian

Some Of those studying the mill

stand q considerable increase in

President asks for more controls
than those provided in the Selec-

go to Congress even to set up

without assurance that shch ac-

City Files 45th Charge
Against Owners Of
Dupont Circle BuiIdinq

The corporation counsel's Of
fee yesterday filed its 45th charge
against the owners of the Dupont
Circle Building, accusing the cor
poration of operating an Office
building without a proper occu-
pancy permit.
Since the maximum penalty is a
500 fine on each charge. the cor
poration, Ducirco. Inc, now faces
q possible $4,500 In fines.
Before June /, the charges were
filed sporadically. Since that date,
the actions have been instituted
at the rate of one a day.
One case last February led to
q $50 fine in Municipal Court
against the corporation. A second
case is under advisement by Judge
Aubrey B. Fennell.
Building Inspector Charles
O'Connell reported yesterday that
the District refuses to issue an
Office building occupancy permit
until Ducirco remodelS the 12-story
one-time apartment house at 1346
Connecticut avenue NV. To con-
form with District Office building
specifications, the corporation
must increase the weight load ca
pacity Of each floor of the struc-
ture.
Defense Counsel Denis x. Lane
contends the Districts remodeling
plan would be too costly. He add
ed he has not yet heard from the
building inspectors office on
Ducirco's counter-proposal for a
less expensive. but reputedly
equally adequate, remodeling.
] To all appearances. the cor
poration counsel's Office will con-
tinue its charge-a-day policy
against the firm until the neces-
sary changes are made. or until
Ducirco stops use Of the building
for office purposes.

the airport when possible.
Through plans worked out with
the American Embassy and South
Korean government, the airport
employees had expected American

arms. which it did not have.

after the North Koreans crossed
