BAR BRATTON

ton, the young man now finds
himself short on cash with
his purse of $4,770 TIED up and

ing Commission who promoted
the Standardization f1asco. Ac-
cording to Jim Norris, head of
IBC, HE showed so little we
are not interested in signing
him for future fights. Perhaps
after he takes an extended
rest, he will wish to return to
the ring, If at that time he
can demonstrate that he still
has great talents, We'll employ
him again Bur he'll have to
show Us in other rings, not
ours"
Johnny's side of it is this:
Il fought the best way coul3
and it isn't my fault the crowd
wasn't pleased. This boy Sax
ton has been thrown out of
rings before because he holds
on and refuses to let the other

NEW YORK - Baseball has

ginning to shape up, and to say
the least they sound Just a
little mixed up. For instance.

having too many pitchers? But
that's What they claim. The

Newcombe, Eriskine, Billy Loes,
Preacher Roe, Russ Meyer, Glen
Labine, Palica. Milliken, Ray
Moore and Ben Wade, just to
rattle off q few. There are %
in all and at the most IL will
make it.
The Yankees are acting a
little unpredictable, too. Their
first tan player, ElSton Gene
Howard, is listed on the roster
as an oltnelder but he's work
ing out as catcher. It seems
he has caught before, however
and Yankees also made news
by trading Vic Raschi to the
st. Louis Cardinals "as a warn
ing to some of the rich Yankee
ball players who have, grown
complacent with victory" OF
course the fact that Raschi is

other injuries including a bed

How to Achieve World Peuce

The unfortunate radiation injuries
recently suffered by Japanese fisher
men far away from the super bomb
explosion remind us again Of the fright
full power Of the new weapons. Appar-
emily the enemy has such weapons, too.
Let us keep in mind that the best
available warning nets, fighter planes
and guided missiles can keep of only a
portion of an attacking bomber fleet;
the rest will get through. Underground
shelters will not protect against a blast
that can wipe out rocky island and
inflict damage mile and half below
the surface. And far beyond the range
Of explosion damage will be radius
of death by radiation.
How, then, shall we keep peace?
Threats of retaliation can preserve
only an unstable, uneasy armed truce.
Traditional diplomacy has shown itself
inadequate. = Yet some way must be
found to prevent the use of these awful
weapons.
The solution lies in finding some
better way than the existing methods
to resolve international disputes. The
40 States of our Nation are not threat
ening to bomb each other; they can
resolve their disputes in Congress or
the Supreme Court. Worldwide peace
can be attained by strengthening the
u N to the point where 1t can serve
the same purpose among the nations.

pools to do what Americans, hasty,
impatient, could not persuade them to
do.
At one time, the "angel fish" would
not breed at all in American tanks,
so that enthusiasts here charged the
Germans with shipping them only
males, but the truth was that we would
not give the fishes the conditions they
needed to breed.
After several years, Templeton
Jones gave up his fishes and tanks.
They left him with recurrent dream,
famous among the pSychoanalysts.
Jones dream, however, would not meet
Freudian dictates.
His dream, about once every four
years or so, is that he goes up into his
attic-where he never had tank-and
finds there some great aquariumS which
he had forgotten about.
Since he has not fed the inmates for
many months, he is surprised to find
them very much alive. though very
thin.
He goes over, and finds a tin Of
food on the table supporting one Of
the tanks. He throws bit on the sur
face of the water, and the hungry
fishes gobble it up.
The water in the tanks Is perfectly
clear, the fishes lively, eating away,
when Templeton Jones turns out the
light and goes downstairs for another
term of years.

with those obdurate persons who still
think the word is fiat, so he believes
that builders deserve no credit for
this sort Of thing.
When they put UP a house in a
neighborhood where there is just sur
face drainage, they always ought to
make allowances for it.
The satisfactory thing is that most
leaks can be corrected-but it can be
done so much better and with so much
less expense at building time.
Water is all right for fishes, but not
so good in a house, except where it is

Templeton Jones got to thinking
about his many adventures with water
in aquariumS, as he watched the men
digging up the neat lawn to put down
tile that should have been put down
in the first place not second.
At one time, Jones had fourteen
tanks, holding some 200 tropical speci-
mems. These were drawn from all parts
of the world, some from Brazil, some
from Trinidad, even from Siam, as it
was called then.
The joke was that probably not

Double Tuxes

Several years ago Congress passed
law whereby the furniture. furnishings,
equipment and even books Of business
and professional people operating with
in the District Of Columbia are subject
to a IA per cent annual tax on assessed
value. This is grossly unjust. Since
that time there has been passed
sales tax law. whereby all supplies.
furniture. etc., are taxed 2 per cent at
the source. So not only does the profess
sional or business man pay a tax at
the time of purchase, but he continues
to pay a tax on the assessed value
every year. All this is in addition to
income taxes.
The time has come for the Congress
to rectify this gross injustice of double
taxes and perpetuity of taxes on per-
sonal property. If it gets any worse

which assembled photographs of out

My main thesis was that this failure

ing that only some one million new
dwellings can be produced under this
act. In fact, the only limitations to the

Government Ownership

Gov. Dewey has made an excellent
record in public Office. but cannot
agree with him when he seeks to have
the development of hydro-electric
power at Niagara Falls, N. Y, placed
in the hands of the State of New York
instead of private enterprise.
The arguments for State operation
are based on the theory that the State
can operate this new development as
economically as private enterprise. Con-
sentative and informed businessmen are
satisfied that experience has shown the
fallacy of this theory in nearly every
case where it has been tried. ~.
1t is well to remember that the more
we increase Government ownership and
operation, the nearer we approach
communism.

Senator Fuibriqht'sE Error

The real question in Senator Fulbright's
tilt with Senator Mccarthy is not whether the
Arkansas Democrat has attacked the FBI. AS a
matter of fact, the fair inference from the two
statements he has issued Is that he has not
made such an attack.
What he has done Is to announce that
henceforth he will not give any information to
the FBI because of his belief that the Mccarthy
subcommittee "gets any information it wants
from those (FBD files, whether the informa-
ton has been authenticated or not" Senator
Fulbright says he bases this belief on state
ments made by Senator Mccarthy which "indi-
cate" that he has had access to FBI data but
at the same time he also says he does not know
other agencies having access to FBI material.
Both Senator Mccarthy and Attorney Gen.
eral Brownell have denied that the files are
available to the Mccarthy subcommittee. But
even if the contrary may be true, even if the
subcommittee somehow has been getting data
from the files, it is mistake to take the posi-
ton that the remedy Is to refuse to assist the
FBI in its Securit, Investigations
Senator Fulbright says he is concerned
that the FBI, as our foremost safeguard against
subversve activities not be destroyed by the
way to destroy the effectiveness of the FBI
however, would be for every one to follow Sen
ator Fulbright's example of refusal to cooper
ate. The correct remedy, If there have been
leaks to the subcommittee, Is to plug them up.
And Senator Fubright ought to be moving in
that direction.

Congratulations to those responsible

No other action could better curb the
consumption of coffee.
BY compelling the masses to seek
substitute drinks, the price fixers ac-
complish what nothing else would-the
cultivation of new appetites for other.
less heart stimulating beverages.
While no doubt the continued price
increases in the coffee industry do not
originate with local companies, indi-
rectly, all coffee drinking people every
where will be greatly benefited by alb
stInence from coffee by preventing the

Thus the ultimate result will be to
save many persons an early death. and
millions Of other peoples lives will be
