NEW YORK. Aug. il.-cookie
Lavagetto viii introduce his
Senators 10 speedball In spring
training In the hope Of building
up their legs and extracting
more speed from them. It's
a combination Of football and
soccer. :. He'll organize teams
and the losing clubs win be
penalized by taking iive laps
around the park. which will
assure rugged competition.
Cookie says his Senators
would be as formidable as six
other teams In the league
he's excluding the Yankees. OF
course-if he had q couple Of
solid pitchers added 10 his
stan. At least three mem
bers Of his current i0-man
stan virtually are useless. and
the Senator'S only triple-A
pitcher, Pete Mesa, is l-ll with
Sacramento.
The Red Sox have particle
pated in IL shutouts this
season and have lost 10. q.
The Senators contradict the
adage that classy clubs win the
one-run games. They've
won 81 and lost IL by the mar
rowest Of margins. -. They've
also won six of nine games
which have Travelled extra in

but a quick flip through the
record book doesn't disclose a
team record for pinch hits in

ing how the Senators Al pinch

a suspicion they wouldn't blush

Income Tax Question

. Representative Mack, an Illi-
nois Democrat who is a member
of the subcommittee, said last
week that Mr.. Goldflne's tax
handling Of gifts to Mr.. Adams
apparently amounts to income
tax evasion by falsely listing
gifts as business expenses" Mr..
Mack, saying in effect that Mr..
Adams and Mr.. Goldfine could
not have it both ways, added that
Mr.. Goldfine would either have
to declare his returns were wrong,
or say that the gifts to Mr.. Adams
were intended TO get White House
favors.
Whether there was any influ-
ence involved, there was no escap-
ing the obvious fact that the
Federal Trade Commission, in
trying to persuade Mr.. Goldfine's
mills to stop the mislabeling of
their products, showed a kind
Of lenience that most taxpayers
would appreciate from Uncle Sam
around April is every year.
In his opening statement on
Wednesday Mr.. Goldfine had tes-
titled that the first difficulty any
Of his mills had had with the
FTC was in November, 1858. But
Mr.. Lishman brought out that
Goldfine mills had been at odds

TheyGot Gifts

On the list of those who have
received checks from Mr.. Goldfine,
were the names of a White
House secretary to Mr.. Adams. a
secretary to the Presidents ap-
pointments secretary, the admin
istrative assistant to House Demo-
cratic Leader John Mccormack,
the administrative assistant to
Senator Cotton, New Hampshire
Republican, and three past or
present employees in the Office of
Senator Styles Bridges. also New
Hampshire Republican.
Eugene T. Kinnaly, the McCor-
mack aide whose name was on the
list. said he had never received
any checks from Mr.. Goldflne, but
he had been given some fancy
fruit baskets by him.
Mr. Goldfine seemed offended by
what he regarded as a suggestion
from the subcommittee counsel,
Robert w. Lishman, that the gifts
implied any wrongdoing. They
were given in the spirit Of Christ
mas, he maintained, and he indi-
Gated that there was no thought
on his part of any gain in return.
To drive home this point, Mr..
Goldf1ne explained that, although
the treasurer's checks he sent to
Federal employees did not carry his
name on them, he sent along
greeting cards identifying himself
as the giver.

have been conducted so far in
complete secrecy; communiques
have been notably uncommuni-

so far that the conferees have

Whatever the insistence on the

Suant to a suggestion originally

Why Its q Trouble Spot

Lebanon, melting pot where
Christian and Moslem have lived
peacefully under the same flag,
was able to remain officially
neutral to the big power tug Of
war until recently.
Then Camille Glamour, Leb-
anon's Christian and pro- Western
President, limited he would seek to
amend the Lebanese constitution
so he could serve a second term.
This touched of a flame of OPP
position among MoSlem leaders,
who are opposed to the Glamour
government.
Lebanon stretches at an average
width of 80 miles for 125 miles
along the Mediterranean coast. 1t
is surrounded for $50 miles by
Syria and bordered for about 35
miles more by Israel.

There are many Turks. Armenians,

Why No Name?

On this point some observers
raised a question. Since Mr.. Gold
fine all along has maintained that
he has tried to influence no one,
and if the checks were given only
in the spirit of the season, the
donors identity would seem to be
unnecessary. In other words, with
no names involved, the question Of
influence does not exist.
Mr.. Goldflne also conceded that
he deducted the Christmas checks
from his tax returns as a business
expense, while also maintaining
that he considered them personal
Christmas gifts.
He and one of his lawyers at the
hearings, Roger Robb, have also
admitted publicly that the expense
of having Mr.. Adams as a friend
also was deducted as a business
cost.
Mr.. Goldfine had paid almost
$4,000 in Boston hotel bills for Mr..
Adams (including a 81 room serv-
ice charge and the 25-cent tip
which the thrifty Mr.. Adams
charged to Mr.. Goldf1ne's ac-
COUNT. Both Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Goldf1ne have insisted that in this,
only hospitality and friendship
were involved. although the cost
also was considered a tax-deduct-
ible expense by Mr.. Goldf1ne.
The expensive Oriental rug
which Mr.. Goldf1ne gave to the
AdamSes also was deducted by
Mr.. Goldflne, although he and
Mr.. Adams both have described
the rug as only a loan" while
Mrs. Adams in discussing it with
a reporter three weeks ago re-
ferred to the rug as a gift.

The two Texas Senators, Lyndon

fact that Alaska will replace
Texas as. the largest State, and
the official Texas song will res
quire some revision in its thnd

Since Alaskans have been voting
Democratic by about 65 per cent
for years. many expect that her
two Senators and one Representa-
tive who will be seated next
January will be Democrats.
This assumption may be un-
warranted, however. While one
of the Senators is likely to be for
