sharing the spotlight as the Sox
edged the AS, 14-13.
Phillips had five hits, includ-

had four, including a triple.
Another rookie, First Baseman

Enos Slaughter doubled twice

Supporters of Mrs. Charles
Carroll Haig for president gen.
eral of the Daughters of the
American Revolution hailed it as
q good omen today that her
name had the No. l spot on the
ballot as delegates voted for new
national officers.
The coveted position went to
the District member in a draw
ing yesterday to determine the
order in which the three COM
peting states would be presented.
Delighted screams went up in
her campaign suite at the May
flower Hotel when the news was
learned by telephone.
By virtue of the drawing Mrs.
Haig also was the first of the
three presidential candidates to
be nominated last night at the
society's Continental Congress in
constitution Hall.

SO Cancellations were proposed
for the IL places on the Society's
Executive Committee and 8
others were nominated for 8
vacancies for the independent
offices of vice president general.

kirkpatrick of Eldorado, Kans.
was declared elected an hon
orary vice president general.

tons. but hundreds were still on
hand for a reception for the
candidates held afterward in the

taxes. The tax rate can be in
creased if the voters approve.
A more equitable assessment
basis could be devised and
made effective.
CORNELL-By a more eff
ficient assessment plus a
check on those not paying
city license.
CROWGEY-Average dali
ly attendance in upper ele-
mentary grades and high
schools could easily be raised
from 2 per cent to 5 per cent
and this would increase the
amount of school money re-
ceived from the State by a
like or slightly higher per-
centage. This would cost Roa-
nokers nothing, but the par
ents are apparently the only
people who can accomplish
this. They should become
more concerned.
If voted by the freeholders,
the tax limits can be raised,
permitting Council to raise
the tax levy to meet the
needs as they conceive them.
For permanent improve
ments and capital outlay,
funds can be raised by bond
issues.
