Taxpayers who are indig-
nant at frightened regulations
on expense account deduc-
tions should heave their
brickbats at Congress, not at
the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice, IRIS Commissioner Nor
timer M. Caplin said yester-
day.
AS a matter of fact, the
taxpayers ought to be toss
ing bouquets. not brickbats,
Mr.. Caplin told a luncheon
meeting at the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club.
The new regulations ac-
tually will help American
business" not harm it, the
commissioner said cheerfully.
AS If recognizing that
statement needed support,
since most business repre-
sentatives have been clam
oring against the new regu-
lations, Mr.. Caplin cited a
letter he said he had re-
ceived from the general
council of the National Res
taurant Association.
Some Friendly Voices
The letter writer said, Mr..
Caplin reported, that IF
properly applied, the new
rule will help restaurants.
People will begin to spend
what they've been putting
down on their expense ac-
counts"
The Hotel and Restaurant
Association, he added, wrote
him that "the new law is
very fair and reasonable"
And an accountants as
sociation wrote him that the
new regulations contain
nothing that reputable busi-
ness firms are not now DO
ing" he said.
That ended the commits
sioner's list of Endorsements.
The new tax regulations
are expected to bring IN an
estimated 500 million a
year in additional revenue,
Mr.. Caplin said.
After the dust is settled
down, the business commu-
nifty will accommodate itself
and carry forward the spirit
Of the new regulations" he
predicted philoSophically.
The new rules grew out of
a law passed last year by
Congress, which had been
studying the subject of ex-
pense-account abuses for 40
long years." the speaker said.
A much tougher bill,
(which would have virtually
abolished all expense-account
lunches" was passed by the

If Tom Brown is not on first
base, he may be in the out
field.
Whatever the reason, Piersall
is a completely different per-
son. OF course, when he signed
his contract he was told to
stick to baseball and otherwise
stay out Of the headlines, hut
nobody is naive enough to be-
lieve that Piersall would heed
a warning that closely at this
stage Of his career.
Jim is downright docile. He
never protests when he is out
of the lineup and he has not
raised a serious objection to
an umpire's call.
Only once this spring did he
ride an umpire. That was in
Bradenton when a rookie UNI
pire called four balks on Jim
BronStad. Piersall called the
umpire a few names and then
swung himself from the roof
of the dugout, mimicking a
monkey.
One Of the motel clerks was
conversation during a
lonely moment the other eve
ming and suddenly said, II Just
can't believe all the things I've
heard and read about Mr.. Pier
sail.
Hes the most perfect gen.
tleman in this motel" the clerk
said. Hes courteous over the
telephone. grateful for any lit
tie thing we do and has excel
lent manners"
Piersall, who like many ball
players after an 0-for-4 day
has understandable brushed
off the kids with their poised
books. lately has
patiently put up with the
sometimes thoughtless young
sters.
He will sign their cards, pat
them on the head, ask their
name and give them the big
smile that sometimes must be
forced.
He has been cutting up with
the visiting players, but NO
more than anybody else. He
turns a deaf ear to some Of the
big shots in the stands who say
things that are tough to take.
His teammates are taking all
this in, and occasionally one
Of them will ask, How long

probably would settle a slightly
touchdown PierSall with a
considerably higher batting
average than he had last year
Maybe that is Jim's goal.

To Boost Lead
Over Hawks

The Lakers won Sundays

However, Elgin Baylor still is
suffering from a cold. He was
off in the opener and scored
only 81 points, a low total for
the MIA all-Star.
Los Angeles needs a healthy
West and Baylor to cope with
the Hawks potent one-two

Meanwhile, the Boston Gel
tics have their backs to the
wall in their Eastern Division

MooreQuits
LaSa|Ie Post
After 5 Years

PHILADELPHIA, April 2
(AP).-Donald Dudley Moore
has quit as LaSalle College
basketball coach, and Specula-
ton Immediately has begun as
to his likely succesSor-and
where Moore, himself, might be
headed.
Moore, who had been at La
Sale for five years, gave no
reason for resigning yesterday.
but friends said he was dis
turbed by student and alumni
reaction after he was hanged in
effigy February IA. His team
had been beaten by rival Penn
after 10 straight victories.
Moore declined to comment
on his future, but his name
has been linked with the coach
ing vacancy at the University
of Virginia. Billy Mccain re-
signed there at the end Of the
season for personal reasons.
Speculation centers around
an alumnus succeeding Moore
at LaSalle. Mentioned promi-
nently are Jimmy Phelan, coach
at Mount st. Mary's; Charles
Adonnelly, LaSalle's freshman
basketball coach, and Tom
Cola, a former All-America
now playing professionally with
the New York KnickS.
Athletic Director James J.
Henry said few applications
had been received in the last
few weeks, apparently from
coaches who figured Moore
planned to quit.
Moore's LaSalle teams posted
an overall record Of 70 victories
and 81 defeats. His last squad,
with a 1917 record, played in
the National Invitation Tour
nament in New York but was
eliminated in the first round
by st. Louis University.

Lou Brock collected a single,
two doubles and a triple, while
Ron Santo and Ernie Banks

the Angels beat the Colts, the
Phillies used a triple by Tony

Bob Friends got the range
from go feet, but the 250-foot
experiment has failed Vern
Law, and today the pitching
partners who brought Pitts
burg a world baseball cham
pionship in 1860 are worlds
apart.
Friend pitched a four hitter
over the nine-inning route yes
terday as the Pirates defeated
the Twins, 80, in an exhibit
ton at Orlando, clinching the
opening day pitching assign
ment only hours after Law
learned he was leaving the team
for a while.
Laws failure to overcome his
shoulder ailment-and the an
nouncement that he would be
sent to the clubs minor-league
camp to try and regain the
form that made him a 20-game
winner in l960-came as a blow
to Pirate hopes.

In three California games
yesterday, the Cubs belted the

The plan failed. Law has

for spring training, he ap-
plauded the idea. but Jim over
did it his first day in camp. He
was in and out of the cage for
almost an hour of hitting, and
the next day he turned up with
a sore left knee.
1t bothered him for a few
days. He had a shot in it and
was out Of uniform for day
or two, but he has been main
tanning that it is all right.
DR.. ReSta said there is no
ligament or cartilage damage
to Jim'S knee, nothing that
would require an operation. He
says Jim merely had a strained
knee that continues to act up
on him on certain movements.
Rest is not the cure, accord
ing to the Senators physician.
He says II Jim took a couple of
weeks off, he might overdo 1t
when he started running again.
Manager Mickey Vernon may
wait until the week end to de-
eide whether Piersall will be in
centerfield against the Orioles
on opening day. Mickey be-
lieveS Jim is pressing a bit and
that his timing is off.
However, Vernon is not TAX
ing Piersall's anemic spring
batting average too seriously.
Including yesterdays game
with the Braves, Piersall has
IL hits in SO times at bat for
a .204 average, and his only
extra-base contributions have
been two doubles.
"A fellow like Piersall could
struggle through spring train
ing like he's doing and then
snap out of it with two or
three hits on opening day."
Mickey said. HE can pace
himself, and it's not like look
ing over a rookie to see what
he can do"
But at the same time Ver-
non wants to see some sign
that Piersall is getting the bat
around, and that his legs will
carry him down to first in
something close to the time
they did in former years.
Jim is not an automatic
starter just because he's the
