eide such an important thing
in a few hours" Anderson said.
The chief Anderson booster
is Paul Brown, general man.
ager-coach Of the Cleveland
Browns. Brown, too, has been
mentioned for the job, as has
wellington Mara of the New
York Giants and Don Kellett
of the Baltimore Colts.
Meantime, Austin Gunsel,
league treasurer, is temporarily
holding the NIL reins. He's q
former FBI man brought in by
Bell and generally has been
clear Of the leagues internal
intrigues. If the owners de-
eide there's an urgency to have
a full-fledged commissioner
fast. and not just an acting
one, Gunsel may get the job as
a non-controversial compro-
mise. There's only one draw
back which could hurt him in
the eyes Of some owners-he's
had no football experience.

for a meeting of the board Of
directors.
Moore said Minneapolis would
get about 7 per cent Of the
gate receipts for stadium rent
al and about IS per cent of
the concession receipts. The
Senators control all concessions
at Griffith Stadium, owned
outright by the club.
Moore said that Griffith ap-
preached the Minneapolis group
several weeks ago. Griffith said
the Minneapolis group called
him.
Griffith dismissed as "ridicu-
lous" a report that Griffith
Stadium has been put up for
sale, but several firms are
known to be working on trans
actions which might appeal to
him. Howard University ad-
mittedly is interested in &C
quiring the property.
Griffith says whether he'll
move is up to the advice OF
his attorneys, C. Leo Dorsey
and John E. Powell. When
both were members of the
teams board of directors last
year they approved a resolu-
ton which gave Griffith per-
mission to ask the American
League for approval to move.

NOAO JOuA experimenting
to Open Bowling
When should a bowler ex-
pertinent and make changes
in his game?
The answer is in open play.
Under no circumstances should
a bowler fool around with ex-
perimentS during his league
sessions. 1t isn't fair to his
teammates or to anyone who
bowls in the league.
Anyone who bowls in a lea
que can certainly find time to
practice at least once a week.
In these practice sessions he
can try out the changes that
may improve his game. He may
change his strike angle, for in
stance, from an inside angle
to an outside angle. Or he may
want to lengthen his arm
swing las I'm doing in the
Illustration or his footwork.
1t will take awhile until he
makes the necessary adjust
ments in timing before such
experiments will pay off.
Some bowlerS feel that If
their team is losing by so pins
or so at the halfway point in
a game, they can safely expert
ment because the game is lost.
But you and I both know that
so pins or more can be picked
up in a single frame.
So, let's conf1ne practice
bowling to practice sessions.
A helpful thing y have be-
fore you begin experiments is
my pamphlet, Your Stance
and Approach" For a copy,
send 10 cents and a stamped,
return envelope to Joe Wilman,

geles and San Francisco. If
Griffith moves to Minneapolis
he also would kill minor league
baseball in adjacent st. Paul.
Finds Little to Like
Griffith can find little or
nothing he likes about Wash
ington. He doesn't like the at
tendance of last season, the
chance Of his getting a STABLE
increase on a radio-television
contract or the location of the
proposed new stadium.
He terms the Minneapolis
offer extremely enticing" but
a combination of things could
be stacking up against the
move.
For one thing. Jerry Moore,
chairman of the Metropolitan
Sports Commission of Mime
apolis, declares, 1.-THE steel
strike now makes it impossible
for us to build any more than
10000 seats by next season.
We also suggested that the at
tendance guarantee be some
what lower" Original plans
called for the Minneapolis sta
dunn, with a present seating
capacity of $4,000, to be en-
larged to 41,000.
Offer Watered Down
The Minneapolis offer has
been watered down. A year ago
that city guaranteed / million
attendance for three years. The
current offer, Moore said, as
sures the Senators 100000 at
tendance for five years. The
Senators drew $4,000 here last
season.
GAS far as we're concerned"
Moore said, "our offer has been
in the form Of a series of men,
oranda. We have discussed the
proposals informally with the
city council but cannot talk in
terms of contract until we
have some firm indication that
the Washington club is ready to
accept"
Moore told the Associated
Press he is sure the climate is
considerably more favorable for
q Washington shift to Mime
apoliS this year than it was last.
From our standpoint" he said,
eve are as receptive, if not more
so, than a year ago."
Two Possibilities
Prick admitted he could not
block the move legally, nor
could anybody compel Griffith
to sell out.
There are two ways to stop
him." Prick said. EITHER
through a negative vote Of the
American League, or through
moral suasion." Griffith would
need five votes in addition to
:his own to effect a move. Three
negatives would stop him.
Griffith declares in one breath
that adverse comments of
sports writer's and sportscasters
are running me out Of town."
but in the next says he hasn't
made up his mind, that nothing
is signed, sealed and delivered
and that he hasn't set a date

Int. Rev. Rescinds Order To Tax
 Living Allowance
By FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, LR - The In- ternal Revenue Service yesterday reversed an earlier ruling and said the t-of-living allowance paid federal employees in Alaska won't be taxable.
 Senator Bob Bartlett said he was so advised by Dana Latham, IRS commissioner. Bartlett said he understood the new ruling had been approved by the White House.
 The agency last month ruled the previous tax-exempt status of the 25-per-cent living allowance paid federal employees over their basic salary in Alaska would be lost when Alaska became a state on January 3.
 The Alaska Congressional dele gation and Governor William A. Egan had protested the ruling.
 An estimated $500 federal en- ployes in Alaska had faced a sharp reduction in take home pay under the original ruling.
 Had it stood, the added taxes for an unmarried federal en- ploye with no dependents and an $8,000 base salary would have been increased by nearly $50 a month.
 Senator Ernest Gruening com mented:
 Il am hopeful that before this Congress ends that we may be able to obtain a more equitable cost of living allowance, instead of the existing flat 25 per cent, So as to reflect the differences in living costs in various parts ot Alaska"
 Gruening explained that he hoped to get the Labor Depart ment's Bureau of Labor Statis- tics to conduct a detailed survey into the varying living costs SC as to establish exact scales for tax allowances.
