Nevertheless, Flora's point of
view cannot possibly be justi-
fed. If she has any conscience
at all, she will not be able to
turn her brother from her door.
Genevieve's attitude, while
human and ethical, could still
be improved. Harry is more
than a burden, "a cross to
bear" He is a human being.
Even in his state, there are
CLEANS of something worth
while in him. He should not be
treated like a mass of hopeless
debris.
The history of Harry's alco-
holism is evidentally so old that
the sisters evidently give no
thought to his rehabilitation.
But they should never give up
all hope and all effort. There
are countless stories of sudden
changes in apparently hopeless
cases.
Harry needs more than a bed
and q few meals. Without let
ting him get under their skins
or become too dependent upon
them. the sisters ought to try
offering him a listening ear
when he comes to see them. If
he opens up on his problems.
they should try to gently steer
him in the direction of Alco-
holics Anonymous, or of q
clergyman.
Under no circumstances
should the sisters use nagging
pressure on Harry. They should
try to greet him as if they are
happy to have him. If they will
look into him a little more
deeply, they will find things
that give them reason to love
him and to hope for him.

Larry Dolby Stars As Guest Speaker At

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 5-Prior to
leaving for Kiamesha Lake, N. Y,
for a week of golfing and fellow
ship, a group of some Is of the ma
TONS premier professional and
business men dined at fashionable
Morris Eat Shop on the near south
side, where they were treated to
a sumptuous menu and an exhilar-
ating afternoon of wit and humor.
The humor, for the most part,
was provided by Larry Dolby, star
Chicago White Sox outfielder, who
was one of several guest speakers.
DR.. Walter Grant, Aaron Payne,
Truman Gibson Jr., and Jesse
Owens, former Olympic star, also
spoke.
AS guest speaker Dolby was a
surprisingly good one. Noted more
for his exploits on the baseball
diamond rather than his ability as
an after-dinner speaker, Larry ex-
hibited trenchent wit and a re-
partee that had the whole group
applauding. All present agreed
that the ball-hawking Dolby was in
rare form as a speaker.
Dolby found a receptive audience
in the informal group of golfers,
who were preparing to leave for
their annual get-together. Members
of the group, which has a president
but neither constitution nor by
laws, have been meeting on the
golfing links for the past Is years.

Few Immediate Benefits Are Expected
F rom likes Import Control Plan

According to the Oil and Gas
Journal in its August s issue, here's
what oil men can expect under
Eisenhower's now imports-control
plan:
Few immediate direct bene-
fits to the domestic industry.
.Long-range benefits, if they
develop, to come after first quarter
of 1858.
In general, the imports order re-
vealed last week asks importers to
hold their shipments to 1901, 900
Dbl. daily, about what they were
prior to the Suez crisis. Importers
expected to bring in an average
1886, 700 Dbl. daily last half of
1857.
1t exempts the West Coast from
restrictions, placing the larger
burden for cutting on the region
east of the Rockies and also upon
seven larger old-time importers. 1t
puts no limits on products imports,
principally residuals.
Assuming the voluntary plan
works, many economists see long
range benefits - some of them

nal says.
Imports under the new formula
will be limited to IL per cent of
domestic production at least for q
year. This is estimated at go per
cent of domestic demand. Under
announced company plans, imports
were headed for 17.8 per cent of
domestic production in the second
half, and even more after that.
Over a long pull this cutback
could allow U. S. refiners to work
off large products inventories and
pull down big crude storage, the

West Nips East
To Take Negro
AII-Star Classic

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 5-The West
outhit the East and took advan-
tage of two costly errors in the
eighth inning to score it's 10Th vic
tory in the 25th annual East
West baseball classic at Cominskey
Park last Sunday afternoon.
The West, which outhit the East,
8-to-5, registered it's big blow in
the eighth inning when Bob Wilson,
Kansas City Monarchs' centerfield-
er, doubled home Felix Ortez, who
was safe on an effor, and New Or
leans Bear Shortstop, who was
safe on an error, and Eugene
White, Kansas City, and Issac Bar
mes, Memphis catcher, followed up
with run-producing singles. The
score before the outburst was tied
at sail, after the East battled
from behind to even it up.
Some 1000 fans saw the game.
Also sitting in on the extrava-
ganza were scouts from several ma
jor league teams. And observers
believe they might have been re-
warded for their trip to this south
side ball park. At least three of
the players drew rare praises for
their performances.
The trio, mentioned as possible
major league material, were James
Banks (no relation of Ernie Banks
of the Chicago Cubs, Memphis
Wilson, and Ira Mcknight, Kan
sas City. Banks hit a booming
homer off the rightfield wall in the
third inning. He also singled in the
fifth to score Joe Evans for the
Vests fifth run.
Wilson collected two hits, a
single in the second, and the run
producing double in the second, and
the run-producing double in the
eighth.
Mcknight also collected two hits.
The East fought an uphill battle
throughout, trailing in the first
four innings before tying the score
in the fifth. The West scored a run
in the first, two in the second ad-
ded another in the third, one in the
fifth, and put over the three-run
clincher in the eighth.
The West now has won more than

would provide the margin needed
for American producers to move
more oil to market.
The Journal states that if such
q formula sticks for a long period,
it will protect the domestic indus
try from being swamped by ever
rising imports, give oil-industry Of
ficials sound basis for planning
their refining, exploration, and pro-
duction programs, and provide in
centives over the long haul for ex-
ploring and drilling for new oil to
meet the expected tremendous in
crease in petroleum demand in this
country.
Under the plan, The Oil and Gas
Journal says, supply companies
servicing oil men look for their
sales to pick up as drilling and
production gradually are revived.
Tanker operators may feel an early
pinch which could force retire
ment of some older ships. But they
are counting on the future upward
trend of world demand to give them
steady business.
Foreign operations by American
oil companies likely won't be cur
tailed. Canadian production will
suffer the least; Middle East and
Venezuela the most. None will suf-
fer very severely.

present foreign production for ex-
port to the U. S. will be cut very
