LONG SLUMP IMPERILS FUTURE
Closing Weeks Vital
For Jinxed Allison

for the bright side is futile, for
over his last 20 games Allison
has been a 1877 hitter.
A $50 hitter for the season
Bob has been lunging badly at
pitches. He has been benched
at times, with the feeling that
a rest would help, and twice in
the last six games he has sub
mitted to the indignity of being
lifted for pinch-hitters.
Nothing has helped, and some
of Bob's teammates are saying
nothing will until he revises his
stance. HE won't adjust" one
Senator said, land until he
does he'll keep on lunging for
those sliders and curves"
The Senators play Kansas
City for the last two times to-
night and tomorrow night. This
is Bob's backyard. He was a
high school hero in suburban
Raytown and it has been here
that the effect of Allison's all
consuming ambition to make
good has been apparent.
A swarm of Bob's relatives
are here every time the Sem
ators play. 1t may be merely
one of those things, but it
could be significant that Bob
has been an .040 hitter here
this year.
No Trade Likely
Only an extremely attrac-
tive offer would be likely to
pry Allison from the Senators.
There are officials of other
clubs drooling at the prospect
of taking their chance with
him, but the Senators some
day hope to capitalize on all
that promise. At the moment,
though, his bosses are suffering
along with Bob.
1t will be one of life's little
crimes if Allison doesn't pro-
gress and become an outstand-
ing player. for few have brought
more competitive zest to the
game. He'd run through a brick
wall to win, but unfortunately
that isn't a requisite. He'll
have to hit, and he hasn't been
doing it for a long, long time.
Johnny Kucks Tonight
Don Lee will go after his
eighth win against the AS
Johnny Kucks tonight, with
Jack Kralick due to try for his
seventh tomorrow night as the
Senators try to put distance
between themselves and the
fifth-place Indians.

OF the possible tax increases
listed, the next highest an

from a 20-cent rise in the $3.50
real estate rate.
The budget aides also listed
as tax increase possibilities the
six proposals which failed to
clear the House District Com
mittee. These are to:
/. Raise personal income
taxes by reducing the taxable
brackets from $1,000 to $4,000,
effective January 1, 1862. for a
yield of 100000 during the
balance of the fiscal period and

This accelerated payment would
bring in an extra 90 million
during the next fiscal year only.
The budget aides said all of
the tax proposals would finance
the spending recommendations.
But, the report went on, this
would place the city In an un-
favorable position In respect to
the tax burdens in the suburban
jurisdictions.
Competition Cited
"Since the District must COM
pete with surrounding jurisdic-
tions for population and busi-
ness, it is essential that District
taxes not be higher than taxes
in the suburban area" the
Commissioners were told.
Therefore, the report concluded, |,
an increase in the annual Fed
eral contribution toward the
city's revenue needs appears
warranted.
Congress lifted the author
lied Federal payment to $50
million in 1858, but 1t has
appropriated only $25 million
annually for the three fiscal
periods since.
In addition to the proposal
for the SIS million from tax
increases and q higher Federal
payment, the revenue recon-
mendations included Dor. owing
$40 million more Of the SIS
million In Treasury loans au-
thorized by Congress for gen.
eral fund public works projects.
If approved, this would mark
the third borrowing INSTALL
|ment and would raise the total
appropriated loan figure to
$3.50 million.
Borrowing Stepped Up
The loan authorization by
Congress had been estimated to
be sufficient to cover the fiscal
years 1859 through 1864, the
report said. But due to "con-
tinuous ! deficiencies in the
Federal payment" the budget
aides said, money which should
have been earmarked for capi-
tai outlay has been diverted
for operating expenses, thus
forcing the city to accelerate
the borrowing rate for public
works.

budget, nearly $227 million is

The announcement Of the
pending request for an inveSti-
cation of the Nazi group was
made by Joseph G. Weeda, Dis
trict department commander Of
the Legion.
. Mr.. Weeda said he will ask
his organization to draft a res
olution for submission to the
national American Legion con-
vention in October, asking Con-
gress to closely look" into ac-
tivities Of the Rockwell group.
Last week, local Legionnaires
passed a resolution at their
convention which stated the
groups disapproval and alb
horrence of Rockwell's hate
campaign against Jews and
Negroes.
II want to go a step further
than that" Mr.. Weeda said. II
want TO start real action.
II can feel nothing but revul-
sion when I see the word
American used in connection
with the title Of an organiza-
ton such as the so-called
American Nazi Party, which
aims to Subvert the democratic
principles and the human dig
mites for which this Nation
has always stood"
The ultimate aim of a Con-
gressional investigation, Mr.,
Weeda hoped, would be legisla-
ton against the group. But
you have to investigate before
you can legislate," he added.
