18Th Win and Third
Shutout Over As
BY Burton Hawkins
Stor Stoff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. T.
Bob Porterfield, pitching with
back of dubious fitness, will try
for his 18th victory today in the
second game of a double header
with the Athletics, who haven't
scored against him this season.
Bob, who injured his back in
his last assignment against the
White Sox Thursday night,
views the AS as proper medicine
for what ails him. He has faced
them twice this season and dis
plays 80 and 80 conquests.
(The first game of today's
double-header will be televised
by WTTG, Channel S. at 1900
While Porterfeld is trying to
become the third Washington
pitcher in Is years to post 20
wins-Dutch Leonard in 1899
and Roger Wolff in 1945 having
achieved that goal-he also is
striving to avoid establishing a
club record Of considerably less
distinction.
MarrerO, Hudson Hold Mark.
Bob has been banged for 16
home runs by Is different play
ers. with only Yogi Berra of
the Yankees smashing two
against him. Sid Hudson and
Chico Marrero share the Mats
record in that department, hav-
ing yielded II home runs each
in the 1850 season.
The Yankees, who have dealt
Porterfleld five of his 10 defeats,
have slammed seven homers
against Bob. In addition to
Berra, Gene Woodling. Irv Noren,
Don Bollweg, Joe Collins and
Loren Babe have clipped him for
homers. Babe now is playing for
the Athletics.
MaStersOn Seeks 10th.
The Mats. undefeated in six
games here, will trust that un-
blemiShed mark to Walter Mas
terson in the first game. Mas
terSon will bic for his 10th win.
The AS are expected to start
Bobo NewSom and Carl Scheib.
Philadelphia has been the
favorite spot of the Mats hitters
and pitchers this year. Their
pitchers generally have had an
easy time of it here, allowing no
home runs. The Mats have un-
loaded eight homerS here
Any hopes of the Mats avoid
ing a decline in home attend
ance vanished yesterday when
rain washed out a double-header
with the Yankees at Griffith
Stadium. The games will not be
rescheduled unless they will fig
ure in the Yankees pennant
prospects. which is doubtful.
About 10000 fans waited in
vain for / hour and As minutes
for steady rain to cease.

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept.
Razor sharp Vic SeiXas is
favored to take teammate Tony
Trabert today for the National
tennis championship but. win,
lose or draw, the real winner is
a fellow named Uncle Sam.
American hopes of recaptur-
ing the Davis Cup scared to an
all-time high when these two
amateurs chilled Australla's 18-

days semifinals at the West Side

Start Grating Cup
The decisiveness of the double
barreled victory sent the spirits
of American tennis officials
spiraling.
They can start Grating up
the cup right now for a trip
back to America" said Alrick
Man. chairman of the United
States Davis Cup Committee
1T was a victory for our sys-
tenn of non-regimentation-th
scores speak for themselves"
said Col. James Bishop, presi-
dent of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association.
SeiXas and Trabert, who will
carry our Davis Cup colors
against the Aussies at Melbourne
in December, will square off at
approximately 2:45 pm, follow
ing the women's singles final.
The women's championship
match is old hat. Maureen Con-
molly shoots for her third
straight title against Doris Hart
of Coral Gables, Fla, five times
a runnerup but never a cham
pion.
Maureen Favored Again.
Little Mo from San Diego
again is favored. She beat Miss
Hart year ago. GO, IS, and
downed her in the Wimbledon
final this summer, 8-6, IS.
However, a Connolly victory
is no cinch. Doris handed Maui
reen her last defeat in the Italian
championships last May.
SeiXas and Trabert have met
four times previously with Vic,
30-year-old Philadelphian with
a magic. .volleying touch, winner
of the first three.
Trabert, 23-year-old eX-sailor
from Cincinnati, whipped Seixas
at Newport, r. l.. three weeks
ago, 81. 0-6. Ga, 8-6, 6-3,
but it was an empty triumph
since Vic wrenched his knee
after winning the first two sets.
Hoad Blown OFF Court.
The tall, dark haired, phila-
delphian showed no traces Of
the injury yesterday as he
literally blew Hoad off the court
with big service and slashing
net attack. SeiXaS didn't lose
his service once while cracking
Hoad, who is supposed to have
the most potent delivery in
amateur tennis, three times.
A booming. cannonball service
also helped Trabert, who slam

While the French have heavy burden
in Indo-China and while one must consider
the sacrifices they have made both during
World War II and afterwards they-as
well as other European nations-must real
ize that the present NATO army in Europe
is nowhere near capable Of stopping de-
termined Communist effort to overrun Wes-
tern Europe Until such aggression can be
checked by NATO army, Europe will re-
main in serious peril.
Undoubtedly the Secretary of State
cleared his speech with the President be-
fore its delivery Certainly, that has been
the custom in the past One of the new adj
ministration's chief foreign problems is
that of the Stalcmated defense situation in
Western Europe and we consider Dulles re-

anyone to be shocked by L. S. iilsistence
that progress continue to be made toward
adequate defense Of Western Europe if u.

There are four basic tvnes Of

Just what is the minimum num-

British Taxes

THE Inland Revenue Commission in Great
Britain recently reported that only sixty
persons in England had net incomes Of
more than Sl6,80O, after paving income
taxes last year The report Showed that
many Englishmcn earned more than this,
though taxes took practically all Of their
income ;bovc a certain level.
1t is interesting to note that the sixty
earning more than $l6S00 earned total
of $27 100000. After the income taxes were
paid on this amount, il was reduced to
something over 81 900 600. Some OF the big
money-earners paid at rate Of 1918 taxes
out Of every $3.50 earned. Thus out Of
almost $500 they were allowed a nickel

Again these men we're mistaken

God S blessings and yet reject
God s Son. The basic trouble with
those big men Of Jerusalem, and
the people they influenced, was
that they did not want Jesus, They
did not want him, his ideas. his
leadership; they had no notion at
all Of his sacrifice. Living or dying
they had no use for him and
so they persisted. Those who reject
the living Grace of God have to
suffer the consequences. Christ is

them being present at community functions

congressman visit the folks back home, and
a CERTAIN amount of it is desirable, to main

However, there is limit to the number of

1t is not our purpose to be critical of the

inability of the congressman to be in two

not expect them to do the impossible. We

While things are far better than this in
the United States, where thousands of citi-
zens earn more than $4,000 or $4,000 a
year, it is we'll to keep the present situation
in Britain in mind when we think of our
tax laws. The new Administration must
reduce tax rates if the trend toward higher
and higher levels is to- be checked.
IN the United States, we do not take the
attitude that large incomes are necessarily
evil if fair rate Of tax assessment has
been made Under the English tax program,
large incomes are almost impossible and the
end result Will be a standardized scale Of
living for all professions and workers.

Korean Change

A good many Americans are

of command in Korea may means
We are inclined to let. the Cons
mics do the guessing.
If they want to speculate as TO
whether the coming OF Lieut.. Gen.

lieut.. Gen. James a. Van Fleet
signals a new United Nations
offensive. let them worry. FOR
Americans there is more point IN
satisfaction that the shift from
one able commander TO another
is being made harmoniously.
1t has been known for several
months that General Van Fleets
retirement was coming up. But II
was postponed by Washington for
few months-for two reasons. 4.
One was to avoid any appears
ance of reprisal for the campaign

Down to Business

SECRETARY OF STATE John Foster
Dulles, in recent speech, warned Euro
pean nations if they did not unite the Unit
ed States would have to reconsider its
policy toward Europe. Mr.. Dulles was re-
ferring to the attitude of several members
of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
who have stalemated final agreement on
a European Army by refusals to go along
with the tentatively approved plan.
In recent months, the attitude of both
France and Germany has discouraged
America The French are apparently hest
tating to approve the Army plan because
of fear OF rearmed Germany, which
would furnish units for the European
Army. and the Germans are also showing
a measure of dissatisfaction with the plan.
The reaction to the Dulles speech in
Paris was said to have been swift. Many
French officials and many Of the news
papers thought Dulles speech brutal and
many L. S. reporters wrote that the speech
was something of shock in that country
Perhaps that is what is needed at this stage
