ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. 9.-Gil
Coan, fighting for his major
league life, must convince Bucky
Harris in exhibition games that
he's worthy of retaining the
Mats leftf1eld job. Gil got of to
a spectacular start with his
booming grand-slam homer off
Bobby Shantz yesterday as the
Mats defeated the Philadelphia
Athletics. 1910. at West Palm
Beach, but that one blast pro-
vided Bucky with nothing more
than temporary elation.
Coan was the only Washing
ton player to go the distance in
both games with the AS. He
failed to get a ball out Of the
infield Saturday, striking out
twice as the Mats dropped a GO
decision. He also gummed up an
outf1eld fly in that contest.
Gil bounced back nicely yes
terday, however. His flrst-in-
ming smash OFF the accomplished
Shantz. who checked out with a
slight pain in his shoulder after
yielding five runs in the opening
inning, was the most decisive of
Washington's IA hits.
Will Get Every Chance.
"It's no accident that Coan
was in there all the way in both
games" Harris explained. He
has to prove to me that he can
help us and he's going to get
all the chance in the world to
do it. If he can't, We'll have to
try something else"
Gil flied deep to outfielders on
two other occasions and with
better luck might have obtained
three hits. And in the eighth
inning he contributed brilliant
running catch of Joe DeMaestri's
low liner just after Jim Busby
had made an unbelievable leap
ing stab of Ray Murrays deep
drive near the centerfield wall.
Naturally I'm eager for Coan
to come through" Bucky said.
He could stay in the lineup as
a $50 hitter and I'd be happy
about it because we'd have the
fastest outfield in the league
with Coan, Bushy and Jackie
Jensen. But Gil must hit to
keep the Job"
Impressed by Stewart.
In the split with the AS, Har-
ris particularly was pleased by
the pitching of young Bunky
Stewart. The slim left-hander
was the ony one of six Wash
ington pitchers to hold Philadel-
phia scoreleSS in his Shining
test.
"He's the most promising
young fellow I've seen come
along in the long. long time"
Harris enthused. There's all the
difference in the world in the
way he looks now and the way
he looked this time last spring.
He has acquired more poise. I
like his ice-water attitude,
Bunky won only six games
and lost nine with Chattanooga
last season. but Harris disre-
CARDS the record book when ex-
amining rockies. He's sold on
Stewart.
Maybe he hasn't had enough
experience to stick this season."
Bucky said. but I'll overlook
that lack of experience if he
keeps pitching the way he did the
other day"
Face Redlegs Tomorrow.
Idle today, the Mats will tan
gle with the Cincinnati Reds
tomorrow at Tampa and Harris
will send Jim Pearce, Lou Sleater
and Buck Freshman to the
mound. All are bidding for spots
as relief pitchers.

MANUFACTURERS EXCISE WOULD
PYRAMID SALES TAX TO CONSUMER

until the last two feet of counter
space is reached.
"Pyramided by it's nature at every
level from the producer to the store
counter, its greed is satisfied only by
a steady diet of consumer dollars"
1t may seem a long time ago, but
during the campaign Mr.. Eisenhower
made a point of attacking hidden
taxes. He told audiences over and
over again that on an egg, for ex-
ample, you are paying 100 taxes
that you don't know anything about.
eve all know it takes money to
run our Government" he said in Oc-
tober last year, $50 why should it be
necessary to fool the people who are
paying the taxes?"
l agreed with our President on that
statement then. And haven't changed
my mind.
| oppose a manufacturer ex-
else tax because it would increase
the tax load on those least able to
pay; it would raise prices and the
cost of living, already at an all
time high; it would cut into pur-
chasing power at time when we
need increased buying power to
head off a threat of a recession,
and it is essentially dishonest, a
hidden tax.
Despite campaign promises to the
contrary, a balanced budget is not
in sight. Our government is costing
more than it did last year. During the
first quarter of this fiscal year the Eli
senhower administration took in less
and spent more than did the Truman
Administration in the same period
last year. The U. S. Treasury went
into the hole SAB billion in the July
August-September 1853 quarter-or
$432 million more than in the same
period last year.
Another all-time record deficit is
in sight unless the Administration and |
Congress find some way to replace !
the almost So billion loss in revenue
from deductions scheduled for next |
year in personal income taxes, ex-
cess profits taxes, corporation and ex-
else taxes.
I'll do my best-but | won't vote
for a sales tax no matter what nice
name they hang on it.

When President Eisenhower re
Gently slammed the door in the face
of a proposed sales tax, he said moth
ing a proposed manufacturers excise
tax. This silence has given rise tc
the belief that the Administration
may seek to cure it's financial ills
by such a tax.
Since our President has left the
door open to manufacturers excise
tax, let's take look at it.
A manufacturers excise is sales
tax collected from the manufacturer
instead of from the retailer. A gen
eral sales tax is bad, but manu-
facturers' excise is worse-because it
encourages "pyramiding." That is,
each handler-manufac jobber,
wholesaler, retailer,-adds the tax to
his cost of the article and then fig
ures his profit on the total. He thus
collects a profit on the tax. The ul-
innate consumer then pays not only
a tax to his government but also
profit on the tax to each handler
on down the line.
You can see how a five per cent
manufacturers excise could become
as much as 1 5 per cent by the time
it works down to you as a con-
sumner. You would then be paying
five per cent to your government,
and 10 per cent to the pyramiders.
Like a general sales tax, manu-
facturers' excise falls the hardest
on the middle and low-income groups.
Since these people spend all, or near
ly all, their money on their homes and
families, they will pay more tax pro-
portionately than wealthy individu-
al who does not have to spend all his
money to live.
Already the National Retail Dry
Goods Association has blasted this
innocent appearing but value de-
stroying tax" which Association
spokesman say is just another pro-
posal for lowering the customers
power" This from re-
cent statement by Wade McCargo,
president of the Association:
