 In Favor of Special Income Tax Rate For Alaskans

 water said Saturday he would sup port legislation for special tax rate for Alaskans, 10 offset the high cost of living in the 18th state.
 Goldwater, stopping off in Ju- neau after a WhirlWind, weekend trip to Alaska, told a news confer ence the tax concession could come in the form of higher exemption on federal income taxes.
 The Arizona Republican. gener- ally regarded as the leader of the conservative element in the COP, said he would not consider such a tax concession as special legisla- tion because we've done the same thing for other areas where special problems in development existed.o
 GoldWater said the high cost of transportation and high labor costs were the major factors in the high living expenses borne by Alaskans.
 Legislation proposed to Con- gress to provide incentive pay ments to producers of neWly-mined domestic gold is not the right ap- proach to the problems of gold producing, GoldWater said.
 Personally he said, q would prefer legislation permitting dom- estic producers 10 sell gold freely on the world market to subsidy on gold.
 T don't like the subsidy ap- proach. What would we do with the gold after it is produced, stock pile it2''
 GoldWater said that he, both as a member of the US. Senate and as an officer in the Air Force Re serve, is concerned with the lack of fighterinterceptor strength, not only in Alaska but throughout the entire Air Force.
 The problem is not in the Air Force itself,a Goldwater said, it $ in the civilians in the Pentagon who are placing too much confi- dence in the little black box and the rockets IL launches.
 T still think we need someone up there With a brain We should be continuing the development of lnterceptors and we should have Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) intereeptor on the drawing boards
 Asked his position on legislation which would authorize the United States to construct two super traWlers to help American fisher men develop their sagging indus try and offset the intrusion of for eign fishing fleets into traditional ly American fishing grounds, Gold water said:

T.V. Lark Points U p

AS THE IVY BEGAN to grow on the
Laurel Handicap some pretty good horses
found their way to the winners circle.
In 'l9 it was The Porter. Then Exterminator,

Shutout in '43 and Alerted in 81
The mighty SeabiScuit, one of the real
good ones didn't win all by himself in the
1887 race. He merely was involved in a
dead heat with Heelfly, who happens to
be the sire of Miss Larksfly, who happens
to be the dam of T. v. Lark, if you follow us.
Although the Laurel owners, past and
present, have tinkered with the distances of
the Handicap, it has remained for President
John Schapiro and Weep Joe Cascarella to
take the race off the so-called main track
and put it on the turf For T. v. Lark?
No, they chorus.
''We aren't 100 per cent sure the horse
even will start" Cascarella says. mo, we've
been swinging to turf for good 10 years.
We like to think we've eXerted a certain
influence in making grass racing as popular
as it is now"
LAUREL'S DRUM-BEATERS are specific
in relating of the tracks contributions
toward turf racing. Back in 1882" AL
Cadeaux says, "Mr. Schapiro was very
youthful president of a major track He'd
only been boss for two years. Anyway, Mr..
Schapiro scheduled two grass stakes in
'52-the first grass events on the flat in
Maryland. One was The Turf Cup and the
other was the International"
Laurel didn't invent turf racing; far
from it. Grass stuff had been going on
when Sheepshead Bay in New York was
big, and that dates back to Sunny Jim
FftzsimmonS' formative years. That's how
far back Sheepshead Bay goes.
But the Laurel people think, and with
proper reason, that their enthusiasm for
turf races has had something to do with
the increased popularity of this form of
riSking money.

Berry of Laurel point out, that 26 of

WIN LOSE OR DRAW

NORMALLY A HORSE TRACK is reluc-
tant to make over race that dates back 48
years, but up the road on Saturday they are
taking the Laurel Handicap and converting
it from. dirt to a grass event And if
T. v. Lark starts, as expected they figure
it will be more than worth the trouble
T. V. Lark is the slightly wonderful
colt who won the 1861 Washington, D. c.,
International by head over Kelso and
Is proving that the grass is greener if
one runs on it, This is confirmed grass
racing horse and 1888, 3,419 he has won bears
eloquent testimony.
AS modern races go the Laurel Handicap
is not one of the richest. A mere $3.50
is all, but rather than detracting from it
the relatively small purse somehow seems to
enhance the affair. These days. how many
near millionaire horses run for $4,000?
1t follows that Laureps Handicap must
be solid sort of race because it Cd has
spanned the years, % has withStood vir-
tually every distance amendment between
three-quarters of mile to Saturdays mile
and furlong, and has been won by some
very distinguished horses.

but I went downhill after that.
When you're playing on a team

Coach Bill McPeak said.
At Cleveland, operating al
most exclusively as a running
back, Mitchell scored 38 touch
downs in four seasons. Obvious
ly, he expects to increase the
pace. He's one of the top all
the-way threats in pro football.
They never used me as a
flanker at Cleveland" Mitchell
said, although I kept asking
myself why. I'm not saying
anything against Paul Brown,
but I always felt I could be
more effective as a flanker. I'm
really looking forward to being

DETROIT, April II. -Th e
extra police and uSherS who
moved into Tiger Stadium'S
rightfield stands last week to
protect Roger Maris from De-
troit's rowdy fans will switch
to center for the next two aft
ernoonS.
Jim PierSall, the favorite
target of Detroit's bombardiers.
will be in centerfield for the
Senators and the fact that he's
in a different uniform should
not make much difference.
MariS was conked on the
shoulder with a pop bottle and
later was hit by a piece of
broken glass during the YAM
kee series last week. Owner
John Fetzer of the Tigers or
dered extra protection for
Maris the next day and said
the Tigers intended to prose-
cute anyone caught throwing
things at the players.
The job of the police and
ushers should be easier today
and tomorrow, because the
centerfield stands will be
sparsely populated for the two
day games. About 1000 are ex-
pected to see Bennie Daniels
against Jim Burning this aft
ernoon. Both the Senators and
Tigers have 2-l records.
Variety of Missiles
Piersall said he takes more
abuse here than in any city in
the league. "Maris is right be-
hind me, and then Minnie
Minoso," he said as he sur
veyed the stands above him.
Jim said he has been hit by
a hammer, a hairbrush, paper
cups filled with ice and a golf
ball and is constantly har-
raised by a paper-clip bonn
bardment from rubber bands.
THE golf ball was a brand
new one" Jim said with excite
ment. Il still have it, and all
the rest of the junk"
What makes me the mad
deSt," Piersall said "is that
Rick Ferrell (the Tigers gen.
eral manager claims I take
that stuff out there in my
pocket and pretend somebody
threw it at me. Why that -"
Jim added with emphasis.
But like a real trooper, Pier
sail said that Cleveland did not
play before fewer than $4,000
in Detroit last year. Without
saying so, he intimated that he
was greatly responsible for the
attendance. "
MOSsi-McClain Tomorrow
Piersall recalled that a young
boy about 16 was caught
throwing something at him last
year and in lieu of a fine he
was punished by his parents.
They were supposed to have
taken his car away from him."
Jim said.
Manager Bob Scheffing Of
the Tigers switched from Don
MoSsi. who lost to the Senators
on opening day, to Burning
today. and will pitch Mossi
against Joe McClain, the rain
maker, tomorrow. The Senators
have been rained out four
times and in three of the
games McClain was supposed
to have pitched.
