Krishnan for
Swedish Title

BAASTAD, Sweden, July 10
CAP) - Apparently 1t was
enough for midas Ramanathan
Krishnan to defeat only one OF
his South American opponents
in the Baastad international
tennis tournament.
Knshnan upset the new
Wimbledon champion, Alex Oh
medo of Peru, in the semi
finals Saturday, but yesterday
let the Baastad singles title slip
by with little resistance as Luis
Ayala of Chile fought for every
point in a 6-l, 6-1, 81, 6-l
victory.
Beverly Baker Fleitz of Long
Beach, Calf, earned two cham
pionships. She had far too
much savvy for her adversary
in the women's singles final as
she defeated Joan johnson of
Wyandotte, Mich. in 40 min
uteS, Ga. 6-l.
Mrs. Fleitz and her husband
John then won the mixed dou-
bles championship from Ayala
and Ulla Rise of Denmark,
4-6, 6-3, 60. After his per-
Torrance against Krishnan,
Ayala took its easy in the mixed
doubles.

There is a way to hold down infIotion

You can probably remember when, on weekend
shopping you couldn't lift all fve-dollar bill could
buy. Today, as you know, money doesn't go that far
That's imitation.
And isn't only in department or store. Imitation
makes everything cost more.
EUen fater pay checks haze tough time keeping up
tUh rising prices Just since the end of the udr, this
"crueLest tax of air. has cut 32t from the dollar
One of the your dollar is worth less and less
excessive government spending Some people urge their
representatives to spend and spend when means
borrowing from the future But these people overlook
that spending tomorrows money today is merely post
poning payment and adding to imitation
This is where you play an important part You can
tell the government what you want instead of leaving
the field to pressure groups who fail to tell the
government what they want. You also spend your
family income with eye to getting your mOueys worth
and saving something, too.

Hugh Lynch, III, of Bethesda

ing at least, the chief threat

In beating Tony Thompson
of Chevy Chase for the Middle

reaped a measure of revenge.
Thompson had clouded the
issue by upsetting Lynch in a
f1ve-hour. five-set marathon
for the Greater Washington
title three weeks ago. But yes
terday Lynch was in command
all the way, winning, 60, 6-l,

Donald Dell OF Bethesda
swept through his Middle At
lantic clay court tennis cham
pionship finals against Craw-
ford Henry Of Atlanta, Ga, in
20 minutes today to take the
fourth and final set at 60.
Dell, a student at Yale, won
the first two sets yesterday, 60,
GA, and had lost the third. 2-6,
when rain stopped play at the
Edgemoor Club courts. The
match was resumed today on
the Columbia Country Club
courts, which were drier than
those at Edgemoor.
Dell was on top Of his game
today and kept Henry, his
doubles partner, from ever solv-
ing his touch. The first two
games were hard fought, with
Henry several times getting to
add. But Don's powerful Serv-
ice and decisive volleys enabled
him to run through the next
four games. His constant pres
sure forced Henry into volley
errors and into over-hitting the
lines on attempted passes.
Dell and Henry were Sched-
uled to play King Lambert and
Ed Bennett, Quantico Marines,
in the doubles finals later today.
The women's doubles were
settled yesterday, with Donna
Floyd and Charlotte Decker of
this area beating Mrs. Barbara
Green Weigandt and Nancy
CorSe, SO, 1l-9, 6-4.
Dell and Henry threw similar
games at each other yesterday,
with big power serves and net
play dominating their styles.
But the Yale youth in the past
year has stepped up the power
of all his shots immeasurably,
including ground strokes he
never had mastered previously.
Dell held a distinct edge in
the rapid exchanges during

The Yale youth slipped

HOW YOU CAN HELP STOP INITIATION

]. Write to your senators and congressman and tell
them you favor Tightening up expenditures which
be reduced postponed eliminated altogether. Many
of them believe exactly you do but they hear mainly
from pressure groups who demand spending it is
hard for them to hold the line against imitation That is
why you and others need to make clear that you expect
the government to live within its income.

aries. The comeback in incomes
at the steel strikes end will be
sensational. Pay levels have
been rising across-the-board in
industries and services and the
trend will continue. Owners of
stocks are in for a dividend bo-
nanza. We are earning record
and rising amounts from fac
tory and white collar jobs, in
the professions and services,
and our incomes form the back
bone Of our prosperity.
"a And there are significant
signs of emerging stability in
the cost Of living. The steadi-
ness in food prices is the key
force responsible for this, of
course-but there is a solid pa-
sis for hope that the general
rise in prices in the coming
months will be in a narrow
range. We are not seeking stag
nation of prices nor price slashes
that would signal a business
slump. Reasonable stability of
prices in a cycle of rising in
comes-most of us happily
would settle for that!
We've lived this ideal pattern
before-but for only relatively
short periods. Perhaps this
time, though, we can make it
last for quite a while.

ident will now serve as an ex-
officio member Of the executive
committee of the National
Capital Downtown Committee,
set UP to push plans to revamp
downtown.
A number Of technical real
estate problems are expected to
arise in the course Of this pro-

Estate Board will be available
to aid in solving them. This
board comprises about 1000

To Facilitate Liaison
Because many of the proper

knotty problems anticipated

liaison now with the Washing
ton Real Estate Board. 1t is
contributing not only money
but specialized people who may
be called upon for consultation.

this downtown rejuvenation
