The only thing AL would boast
about was his newborn son. Said
AL, "I'm going to make a third
baseman out of him."
A Philadelphia reader, DR.. Nat
Barris, writes in: IF you're hand
ing out plaudits each week in
your column for our boys, how
come you have forgotten or over
looked the sensational play this
year of Notre Danes basketball
score that showed Rosenthal tally
captain, Dick Rosenthal. He al
most single-handedly defeated 9Th
ranking Holy Cross at Boston the
other night"
DR.. Barris enclosed the box
ing a total of % points in that
contest, to put him far ahead of
other leading scorers in the game.
That contest, by the way, was the
one in which Holy Cross was
undefeated.

Pass The Coffee
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
Copyright, 1854, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Incl

Everybody is excited about
rising coffee prices. / understand
some snooty folks disturbed by
the murmurings, are saying: Let
them drink champagne" It's
getting to be when people say
Pass the Coffee" you don't know
whether they want you to give
them the cup or are calling on
you to boycott coffee.
It is an issue not to be under
estimated. It may lead to Revolu-
ton. The American Revolution,
we recall, had a good deal to do
with tea. Not only did the British
attempt to foist tea on the Ameri-
can market to lead to the indie
pendence of the states, but it
caused the people to switch from
tea to coffee. It was regarded as
unpatriotic for Americans to
drink British tea, so. Americans
began to drink coffee. We have
been a coffee drinking people
since the American Revolution.
However, I am glad to report
there is a rainbow on the horizon.
Don't man the barricades yet. We
may fend off this second Revolu-
ton. Out of Israel comes the
good news. An Israeli scientist,
DR.. Harry Gindel, has succeeded
in growing coffee in Israel.
was interested in something
he said about his experiments. He
did not begin to succeed, he said,
until he realized that the methods
which might be ideal for the trop-
ical and natural coffee growing
lands could not be applied to Is
rael.
It is to be hoped that all this
fuss about coffee prices. which OF
course is justified, should lead
people to think of realms beyond
the economic-to the philosophy
cal and metaphysical aspects Of
the matter.
The North American continent
is one of infinite richness and yet
we do not grow coffee or tea. A
good cup of coffee is part of the
American way Of life. We are
thus dependent even for the
american way" on foreign in
gradients.
Our bivalent attitude Of assum-
ing these foreign products to be
our own somehow reminds me OF
the old Jewish story of the rich
man who told the poor man to
whom he was accustomed to give
an allowance that he would have
to cut the size of it, because he
had to finance his sons honey
moon.
''He can't have a honeymoon at

Being a wrestler in the United
States is no easy matter. The
grappler has to contend with the
business arrangements that some-
times are more painful than
being pinned to the mat with a
husky opponent bouncing up and
down on your head.
This seems to be the case with
Raphael Halprin, Israel's wrest-
ling rabbi, who has decided to 60
back to Israel-for the time being
at least. Raphael has run into a
stone wall in an attempt TO- sche-
dule the match that he believes
would prove him to be champion.
Now professional wrestling
Qxnown to many as the art of
acting) is not a sport to be taken
too seriously. However, the be-
hind-the-scenes maneuvers in this
sport. as well as in boxing, are
something of which most sports
followers are aware.
Halprin complained that he has
been refused a 90 at Antonino
Rocca, who is top drawing card.
The wrestling rabbits cry is that
he can't get such a metch because
there is a fear that he would
prove himself superior.
Says Halprin, who might also
make a good press agent: 81
wrestle anybody they ask but
after I have improved enough to
meet the best I am told the match
cannot be made. / do not under
stand. I am going home ). f.. will
find champions in my country
and send them back here. They
cannot hold us down forever"
Raphael has been wrestling in
this country for a year and~a half
and has 159 victories to his credit.
He has beco~~e very well known
among wrestling fans
There's an interesting predic-
ton from Al Rosen, star baseball
player of the Cleveland Indians
and one of the best in both lea
CUES. Al believes Cleveland has a
good chance to take the pennant
this year, with allowances for
some of the customary "ifs.'
Now when Al goes out on a
limb to predict a possible victory
for his club. this is not something
to be taken lightly. Many players,
managers and coaches m k e
boasts about what their accom-
plishments will be. But AL isn't
known to be a guy who shoots off
his mouth.
Al was one of the prominent
recently at the annual dinner of
the B'nai Birth Sports Lodge. Al
declined to make any rash predic-
tons. To a question Of whether
or not he would aim for a goal
of 50 homers next season, AL an
Swered:
"Not me. I've learned from eX-
perience that swinging for the
ferce affects your hitting" he
said he planned to work hard in
training, especially on his field

Polar Route 10 Europe
Is Offered by U. S. 10
Scandinavian Airline

A polar air route between the
United States and Europe is
being offered to the Scandinavia
an Airlines System by the Civil
Aeronautics Board and the State
Department.
The State Department, with
the CABS approval, has pro-
posed to the Danish, Norwegian
and Swedish Embassier negotia-
tions toward setting up the
route on a three-year expert
mental basis.
On Reciprocal Basis.
Chan Gurney, chairman of the
CAB, said it has been agreed
to make the offer to the airlines
ION a reciprocal basis"
But we have no intention for
the present of authorizing any
American operator to use that
route" Mr.. Gurney said.
SAS announced late Friday
that it had been authorized by
the State Department to operate
transpolar route between Los
Angeles and Scandinavia.
This brought a denial from q
CAB official. A spokesman for
SAS, however, said that he had
been told that the boards deci-
sion approving the offer had
Evening star., 1954-06-02

been unanimous. Mr.. Gurney's
statement about the offer cleared
up the dispute.
To Start by FAN.
SAS said it planned to inau-
gurate the route by fall with
American-built DC6B airplanes.
by way of Edmonton. Alberta.
Canada, and an airfield at Som
DIRE Storm Fjord. Greenland.
A spokesman for the CAB said
the confusion surrounding the
earlier announcement apparently
stemmed from the statement that
the polar route had been au-
thorized by the State Depart
ment. He said it is the re-
sponsibility Of the CAB, not the
State Department, to make rec
concentrations to the President
on foreign airline operations.

Social Security Bill
Goes 10 Senate After
1853 Vote in House

The Senate, already begged
down with most of the big tax
and appropriation bills for the
fiscal year starting July 1, today
received from the House an
omnibus bill broadening the
social security system.
The measure, backed by the
Eisenhower administration, went
through the House late yester-
day on a 355 to vote. Six
Democrats and two Republicans
opposed passage.
1t was cleared by the Rules
Committee earlier in the day and
passed by the House after only
three hours of general debate.
This rapid pace caused some
members to caution against
trying to break speed records"
on such highly complicated and
far-reaching legislation.
No New Arguments.
But the House debate itself
produced no new arguments and
no disagreement among Repub-
licanS and Democrats. The only
dispute arose when Democrats
claimed credit for the proposed
improvements in the old age and
survivors insurance program.
They declared they urged similar
amendments on numerous oc-
caSions in past years but were
blocked by. Republican opposi-
ton.
The only other difference of
opinion, voiced by some Repub-
licans as well as Democrats, CEN
tered on whether the changes
went far enough. The bill
reached the floor under a closed
rule that barred amendments
except those offered by the Ways
and Means Committee.
Several Senators said TODAY
they will move for still broader
extensions and higher benefit
payments.
Extends COverage.
The bill would extend cover.
age to about 10 million addi-
tional persons who work in Jobs
currently excluded from the So
cial security system. It would in
clude Self-employed farm opera
tors whose net earnings total
$4O0 or more a year. It also
would cover professional self
employed persons other than
medical doctors. The bill con-
tainS provisions relating to min
listers and members Of religious
orders, farm workers, domestic
employees, State and local gov
eminent workers, and other
groups who would come into the
program under certain ciFcum-
stances.
A major change would In.
crease from $500 to $4,000 the
maximum annual earnings on
which the social security tax
would be levied. A person retir-
ing at IS could draw benefits if
he earned up to $1,000 a year.
Under the present law q retired
person would lose his social Sc
curity benefit payment for any
month in which he earned SIS
or more after ritiring.

DnUer Examinations

Automobiles qualify as the most deadly instru-
ments in midst in view of the lives manned and
destroyed.
However when it comes to driver capabilities
there seems to be minimum requirement as to mem
tai and physical conditions. The State of Montana
has made progress when it comes to newcomers
and youngsters reaching 16, but the whole driver
qualification program is not stiff enough.
Glacier National Park is in a better position,
and making strides in this matter of safe driv-
ing. All permanent and seasonal men who drive
government vehicles must take tests that include
vision, color blindness, reaction time, steadiness,
night driving reaction and then actual road tests.
In charge of safe driving testing are A D. Gamma
vina, assistant chief ranger, and H. o. Mahoney,
chief mechanic.
Result is that there are persons who are given
responsibilities that do not include driving govern
nent vehicles and others not permitted to drive
government cars at night
Glacier thus recognizes that all persons over
16 are not fitted to drive a car.
The parks objective is to reduce accidents, cost
of damaged vehicles and human injury.
We should recognize that carelessness is
principal cause of automobile accidents. There is
also the factor that drivers should be physically and
mentally capable of controlling 100 and more horse
power under the hood. MR..
