Dick
Says

An eighty per cent turnout at last
Tuesdays election proved that the
people of Monroe County are not
unmindful of their political rights.
Now - if l could just get that
many people to consider the safe
ty of themselves and others by
using good tires on their vehicles
- I'd be a happy man.
The easiest thing to talk about
today would be politics but if
you're like l am, you're sick Of
the word. So let's turn to the sub
ject of how we make living.
For some folks, work is druid.

Why the difference? think tho

tude toward the job and its effect
on others.
For instance, my job is repair.
ing tires, operating recap shop,
even handling new stock, is hot,
heavy labor. True, a lot of tech
meal knowledge is required and
much of the heaviest work can DO
done by hired labor. To be really
successful in the tire business and
please your customers with good
workmanship, however, a fellow
still finds himself doing plenty Of
hard physical labor.
The thing that keeps me from
being just a white-collar salesman
of automobile and truck tires and
thus avoiding the sweat and dirt
mentioned above is a little philo-
sophy I've picked up. You know,
we all can't be rich and we all
can't escape the unpleasantness Of
hard work. But if we do the best
we can on job and sincerely try
to help other people, we can do
even the dirtiest job and come a.
way with a clean, happy feeling

Corporation Profits Are About
Even With First Quarter 1858

utilities companies were up per
cent.
A gain of 8 per cent was show
by "a food and nonalcoholic bev.
erage companies, and eight firms
making liquor or beer were down
2 per cent.
Besides General Motors and Du
Pont, there were some other big
gamers. General Electric Co. made
IA million dollars more than a
year ago. The Bell Telephone sys.
tenn, consisting of American Tele.
phone & Telegraph Co. and its q
principal telephone subsidiaries
was up Ii million but on increased
investment so that its rate of profit
remained about the same.
Standard Oil Co. New Jersey
was 20 million dollars ahead of
last year, Standard of California
up 10 million, Westinghouse Elec.
trio Corp. up 9A million and the
Texas Co. 8 million.
Those eight corporations alone
had an aggregate gain of 1912
million dollars in profits over a
year ago.
General Motors ran counter to
the trend in the automotive field
among companies making finan.
cial reports. The giant Ford Motor
Co., not having publicly owned
stock outstanding, is not required
to file reports, so its results are
not known.
However, Chrysler Corp. skidded
from $24, 428, TAO in the first quarter
of 1853 to 1851, O53 in the latest
quarter, and Nash, Studebaker
and Packard showed sharp de-
clineS.
The latest compilation, bolstered
by reports from most of the big
moneymakers of industry, com
pared more favorably with last
year than an earlier APP tabulation
two weeks ago. 1t covered the first
$50 corporations to report, and
they showed a decline of nearly IL
per cent in profits from 1858.

get the slow man, provided there
is not runner in scoring position,
else you may never complete the
double play.
Other fundamental details of
playing first include certain plays
such as cut offs on extra base
hits. On the latter, the first base
man never leaves his bag until the
batter is well around first and too
far to come back. One of the man.
euvers of this phase includes back
ing up home plate and being able
to make a play there if necessary.
These days many men are tried
at first base - men who are not
fitted for the position. AS for my
self, l used to get kick from my
very young days of stretching for
throws, picking up the low ones
and trying to get runner picked
off. 1t always seemed to be more
natural for me than any other posi-
ton, although / started out as a
pitcher in professional ball.
1 see all sorts of players, men
who have come up as catchers,
outfielders and infielders at other
spots, put on first base. 1t seems
the popular trend is that if a man
can't play any place else, or is
beaten out of his job they put him
at first.
/ have never considered it that
simple. A good first baseman can
save a team a lot of base hits by
going after the close ones. He
should stretch on every play, au-
tomatically. A good first baseman
can save a team a lot of errors
by fielding the bad ones.
have said nothing about field
ing balls in the dirt. One assumes
a player can do that or he would
not be there in the first place.
He doesn't necessarily have to
possess a good arm but should be
able to make the throw to any
base from any position. In many
instances this will be from stoop-
ing or bent over position.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1954-05-07

Playing first base is not extre.
mely complicated, but it does have
more complex duties than some
managers appear to recognize
these days the way they stick just
anyone at that position.
In reviewing the several duties
and maneuvers one expects good
first baseman to perform, and in
recalling my own career at first
base with the New York Giants
the primary items is one of sell
preservation,
The initial lesson 20 master is
to learn how to keep from being
spiked by the runner. There is q
knack of placing ones foot by the
bag instead of on top of it.
Along the line of making con
tact with the base, there is ano
other thing to remember that is
quite important. A good first base
man will never shift from one foot
to the other in changing sides to
take throw. By the same token
he will never flick his foot back
at the bag the moment he catches
the ball.
That shifting of feet always puts
me in mind of ham actor.
There is, of course "a right and
wrong way to hold man on base.
So many first basemen these days
play in foul territory while trying
to keep a runner close. They should
never do that. Being in fair terri
tory gives the first baseman a
jump in getting out toward second
for a ground ball. 1t enables him
to give more protection to the Sec
ond baseman who has inherited
some of his territory anyway.
Still talking basic things, those
who aspire to be first basemen, or,
better first basemen, should work
on making the double play to Sec
ond, getting back to the bag in
time to complete the play.
Another, and rarer, angle on the
same play is where the first base
man tags the batter first then
throws to second. This grasses the
fore at second.
Get Fast Man First
The first baseman must know his
runners in this example. If the bat
ter is very fast and the man on
first much slower, it is wise, if
possible, to get the fast man. Then

WASHINGTON, Aug l4CJACLl
The sum of sll3,l54.5l for pay
ment of evacuation claims was in

cy appropriation bill passed by the
Senate last week, reorted Mike Ma
Saoka Washington representative OF
the japanese American Citizens

The measure. which is a CONSOLE
dalton of several similar bills re-
Gently introduced includes the APP
preparation of funds to pay % clai-
mants of adjudicated evacuation
claims awarded under the JACL-
sponsored l948 Japanese Evacua-
ton Claims Act.
Previously. the amounts to pay
the % claimants were reported from
the Washington JACL office in two
separate measures which have now
been combined
The $ll3.l54 81 includes payment
of 1913 1859 SO for evacuation claims
awarded early in June and STA 85 80

UNLESS Congress approves this bill

WASHINGTON. Aug. l4(JACL)
Offering a substitute measure to
the so-called Dirksen Return Bill,
Sen Earle C. ClementsD, Ky in
PRODUCED a bill to return all vested
japanese and German property to
their former owners With a maxi
mum return of $4,000, according to
Mike Masaoka Washington repre-
sentative of the japanese American
Citizens League.
The Clements subStitut bill would
give las a matter of grace" the war
time vested property back to their
former Japanese and German own
ers in full value up to a $4,000 Ii
nit For property and assets in
excess OF the $4,000 limit, the for
mer owners would receive the ma
ximum amount of $4,000 as a COM
plete return.
ALMOST 90 PER CENT
According TO figures recently dis
closed by the Ofnce of Alien Pro-
perty, custodians of the vested pro-
perty the Clements substitute mea-
sure would return almost 90 per
cent of the individual accounts in
full value to their former owners
The other per cent of the former
owners having claims in excess of
$4,000 would have only partial
return by the bill
Since few of the large German
claims comprise more than so per
cent of the total value of the assets
vested, about Is per cent of the as
sets would be returned by the Gle

FULL VALUE ASKED
Masaoka, who testified before
