Il don't know what the devil

some big leads against them,

Aparicio does, at that. Last

times officially and ripped of
five hits. The White Sox short

batted $50.
Clevenger is the lone survivor

That Steve Korcheck, who

Pay Todoy-for Yesterday

The State of Michigan finally faced
up to some facts of fiscal life the other
day when its Democrats and Republic
cans reached agreement on tax increases
calculated to raise an additional $3.50
million yearly. Most Of the new revenue
about $120 million-will come from a
! per cent increase in the sales tax,
raised from 3 per cent to 4 per cent,
effective Immediately because the need
Is immediate. In fact, the need goes
back at least as far as last February IS
when the Wolverine State would have
been literally bankrupt If its industry
taxpayers had not agreed to hand over
more than $35 million in taxes from
two to four months ahead Of their due
date. The rest of the increase will come
from stepping up the levies on general
business activities and on banks and
financial institutions.
The Michigan mess had many rami-
ficationS, with the Democratic admin
istration Of Governor "Soapy" williams
and the Republican, controlled Senate
apparently determined to prove their
incompatibility. Whoever is to blame,
and for what, it's no way to run State.

Dangerous Last Fling

Thousands Of motorists are taking
their "last fling" at summer on the
Nations highways over the Labor Day
week end. And the tragic aspect Of the
outpouring of holiday celebrants is that
for many Of them 1t will be the last
fling of their lives.
According to the National Safety
Council, approximately $50 men, women
and children will be slaughtered in
automobile accidents during the long
week end, unless drivers take more pre-
cautions than are customary with them
on holiday outings. Normally, about $50
persons would be killed on three-day
week end But the increased traffic of a
holiday invariably raises the death toll.
Last year 432 persons died in traffic
crashes during the Labor Day week end.

IS While the primary purpose of the
prCposed Little Pentagon" is to consoli-
date the scattered defense agencies that
have sprung up outside the big Pentagon,
q collateral objective that has special
appeal to Washingtonians is the elimina-
ton OF all remaining "tempos" from the
Mall. The second Pentagon plan has the
added virtue Of promising once-for-all
destruction Of the unsightly leftovers
from two World Wars - including the

ing operation to bring about the clean
sweep Of the tempos that the city has
awaited for so many years. The Govern

headway in Graduating the eyesores
spawned by wartime emergencies. Con-
tinued Federal expansion has led to re-
peated postponement of plans for mass
removal of the structures.

prove the Little Pentagon project, how
ever, the Governments Office space

Barking Dogs

Representative Davis is as mistaken
as he Is Incorporate in charging that
the efforts of the Washington press to
get some action on the Juvenile Court
Dill constitutes an attempt to "vilify"
him or any member Of his subcommit-
tee.
Our only interest in this matter is
10 get vote on the bill to add two
Judges to the juvenile bench. It passed
the Senate last April. It is unanimously
and urgently supported by every indi-
vidual and agency in Washington con-
cerned with good law enforcement. Yet
1t Is buried in the House District sub
committee headed by Judge Davis.
We have come reluctantly to the
conclusion that Judge Davis insistence
on investigating the court before adding
any judges is STALL 1t is not that we
oppose an investigation. 1t might do
some good. But if an investigation is
properly conducted it will take consider
able time, and it is perfectly clear, from
the record, that more Judge power is
needed now. Proper concern for law
and order in the Nations Capital die
tates that the judgeship bill be passed
at this session, and that the investiga-
ton be conducted later
Furthermore, we do not believe that
desire to investigate is the real reason
for the burial Of the judgeship bill.
Judge Davis has said privately that he
will not permit the measure to be re-
ported out Of his subcommittee until he
has been given certain assurances as to
the color and sex of any judges who
might be appointed under it. Such
assurances cannot be given, and he
knows 1t. Consequently, If he can induce
the House to stand with him in this un-
worthy position, there may be little
hope for more judges-before or after
an investigation.
Judge Davis has compared the pro-
testing Washington newspapers to bark
ing dogs. For our part, we will continue
to ozark" as long as there is the slight
est hope of flushing the much-needed
1udgeShip bill from the diSingenuous
cover in which Judge Davis is hiding it.
To do less would be to neglect and dis
regard the needs of this community.
