LOS ANGELES. Dec. T.
Baseball survived the annual
winter meetings. which IT
usually does, although at times
during the week there were
moments Of doubt.
There were four major deals,
two outright purchases. includ-
ing Bill Skowron by the Sena-
tors, and the major league
teams selected SO players in
the draft. II at the top price of
$4,000.
Apparently everybody was
helped except Charley Finley.
The major leagues turned
down the Kansas City owner
on his suggestions for orange
baSeballs, green bats. Saturday
opening dates for the regular
season. and a Saturday OPEN
ing and night baseball for the
World Series.
During the week the big
leagues outlawed the diversified
catcher's mitt, decided the
spitball rule is self-explanatory.
and restored the number Of
warmup pitches to eight.
Four Teams Helped
The majors and minors
agreed to give the four expan-
sion clubs relief from the first
year rule. which means the
Colts. Nets. Angels and Sena-
tors will not be required to
carry four youngsters who
didn't have a prayer of making
the team. They can be farmed
to the minors, where they
should be.
The Senators spent about
s65, 900, including the purchase
OF Skowron. They bought
Pitcher Howard Koplitz from
the Tigers in the draft and two
lS-year-old hurlers Don Nc
Lean and Steve Schroer, for So
900 each. Several clubs had Nc !

Lean at the top of their lists,
while the Dodgers were unhap-
by about losing Schroer, who
was signed by Bob Hodges,
brother of the Washington
manager.
In terms of trading, the
consensus was that the Indians
came out ahead in obtaining
Outfielder Leon Wagner from
the Angels for Pitcher Barry
Latman and First Baseman Joe
Adcock. The Angels excuse for
dealing off Wagner is that they
are building on speed. youth
and defense. So to complete
the deal they settled for Ad-
cock, who is slow. not young,
and not a standout defensively.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: What's this "cho-
lesterol" we read so much
about?
Answer: Starting from the
lend, "-ol" is q suffix used in
chemistry to denote an alcohol.
"Ster-" is from the Greek
"stereos," meaning solid.
"Chole-" is the same word in
Greek and means gall or bile.
So cholesterol is a crystalline
fatty alcohol found in animal
fats and bile. Some gallstones
are almost pure cholesterol, ac-
cording to the World Webster
Dictionary.
Question: Is there any dis
tinction between the words
"admittance" and admission?
Don Lewis, Oshkosh, Wis.
Answer: Both have the same
basic meaning of admitting or
allowing to enter. So signs
reading mo Admittance" and
mo Admission" have precisely
the same meaning. However,
admission has the furthe er
meaning of concession or con-
fession. in such phrases as ian
admission of guilt" The word
"admittance" in this phrase
would be unidiomatic and awk-
ward.
Question: How about "flam-
mable" and "inflammable"
ID. L.
Answer: These two words are
identical in meaning. Indeed,
one dictionary defines "flam-
mable with the single word
"inflammable." However, the
fire insurance underwriters
have been operating on the
theory that foreigners, unfa-
miliar with the inconsistencies
of English spelling, may think
that the 'in" In 'inflammable"
means mot" So they have
campaigned for years to have
tank cars and, indeed all con-
tainers for combustible liquids
labeled "flammable."
It has long seemed to me un-
believable that anyone short Of
an outright idiot could misun-
derStand the significance of
'inflammable" printed in block
letters on the side of q red
truck. But then, one supposes
that insurance policies have to
protect idiots, too.

Food Editor
Writes Book
On Wines

Here at last is q common
sense book on how to buy,
serve and enjoy wines.
The American Guide to
Wines" by Ruth Ellen
Church. published by Quad
rangle Books, Inc. (S3.95), Is
a practical book for every
day people" AS Morrison
Wood says in his introduc-
ton: ut isn't high-hat or
sophisticated. 1t does, how
ever, contain q wealth of in
formation on the best known
merican and European
wines"
Ruth Ellen doesn't claim to
be a connoisseur but has &C
quired her wine knowledge
the hard way, ''by digging it
out. by visiting vineyards and
wine cellars both here and
abroad, by talking to con-
noisSeurs, interviewing wine
growers, asking questions"
In her book the author dis
cusses the classes of wines;
how many servings in a
bottle; serving temperatures,
and how to start a wine
cellar. AS for vintages, she
says they're overrated and
explains why.
Mrs. Church gives basic in
formation on American wines
as well as those Of France,
Germany, Italy, and Switzer-
land. She has also included
information on wine serving
and wines use in cooking.
The book contains about 100
recipes, from beverages to
desserts, and a time-Saving
chart which tells all you need
to know about hundreds of
different wines. Her entire
approach is toward simplicity
and she does it in a sprightly
fashion.
Ruth Ellen Church 0known
as Mary Meade) is food edi-
tor of the Chicago Tribune,
a job she has held for more
than 20 years. We've known
her for II of those years.
She has two sons and they
live in two homes one a
rambling, old-faShioned city
house, the other a farm cot
tage on 80 acres Of wooded
land in Wisconsin.
Her other books include
Pan Cakes Aplenty, The
Burger Cook Book, and Mary
Meade's Magic Recipes for
the Electric Blender.

Mr.. Smith and other Rules
Committee members said this
amendment would prevent q
House member from taking his
family on q foreign travel mis-
sion at public expense.
Mr.. Smith said he was conf
dent the House will approve
the two amendments. He said
he discussed the matter in gen.
eral with Speaker Mccormack
and with House Administration
Committee Chairman Burleson,
Democrat Of Texas.
Representative Powell capped
his 1862 summer tour of
Europe by issuing a 103-
page printed report on possible
European Common Market ef-
fects on wages and jobs in this
country.
He gave principal credit to
staff aides and Library OF
of Congress specialists for
producing the report from "the
mass of raw data, notes on in
terviews, and piles OF publica-
tions and statistics gathered on
this trip"
The report and an accom-
panying statement did not dis
close specifically the extent of
Mr.. Powell's part in the study.
Mr.. Powell was accompanied
on the study mission by two
members Of the COMMITTEES
staff, Mrs. Tamara j. Wall and
Miss Corrine Huff. Mrs. Wall
no longer is with the commit
tee. Mr.. Powell explained last
year that they would assist
him especially in studying
equal job opportunities for
women in Europe.
Study Defended
According to news stories of
the eight-week tour they visit
ed several European countries,
travelled by air and steamship,
and stayed at plush hotels.
In a short preface to the
printed report, Mr.. Powell de-
Tended the study mission as a
necessary and valuable means
Of getting information for the
Education and Labor Commit
tee. He explained that much
Of the material came from "of-
ficial sources" but private
sources and organizations
sometimes were found more
useful"

MURRAY'S WARNING =
Chairman Murray OF the House
Civil Service Committee has

on any further practices that
initiate Federal salaries by Civ
ing employees higher grades
than the Jobs duties and re-
sponsibilities justify.
The TennesSean compliment
ed President Kennedy for his
order TO agencies 10 stop such
upgrading practices. and said
his committee will keep close
tabs on the bureaus TO see that
they comply.
Now that the new Federal
pay reform law has been en-
acted TO establish comparable
ity between Government and

He expressed concern that

President Kennedy's tax pro-
posals would adversely affect
many Federal employees when
they retire. as well as many
already retired.
The Presidents plan would
take a bigger tax bite out OF
many civil service annuities by
removing present exemptions.
Particularly hurt would be
the nearly 33 per cent OF Fed
eral workers who retire on dis
ability annuities.
At the present time they pay
no tax on their annuities until
they reach the regular retire.
ment age. This is because dis
ability retirement annuities are
claSsed as sick pay, which is
not taxable on the first 500
a week.
However. Mr.. Kennedy's pro-
posal would abolish the sick
pay tax exemption.
62-Year-Olds Hit
Also. Government employees
on regular retirements would
In many cases pay higher tax
es on their annuities between
the ages OF 55 and 65 under
President Kennedy's proposals.
In some cases, they also would
pay higher taxes on annuities
after age 65.
The reason is that the plan
would abolish the Si.524 an
nual tax deduction retired Gov
ernment workers now get at
age 55 as we'll as the extra
$500 exemption each for an
employe and his spouse that
they now receive. II wouldn't

ployes a $500 tax deduction.

The House Rules Committee
started a breakdown today on
what it regarded as foreign
travel abuses and expense ac-
count cover-ups by some other
House committee members and
staff employees.
1t adopted two far-reaching
amendments which it intends
to attach to resolutions asking
House permission and funds for
committee study trips abroad
or within the United States.
Committee Chairman Smith,
Democrat Of Virginia, proposed
the amendments at a meeting
Of his committee today. He
told newsmen the move was
not provoked by any specific
iunket by a House committee
He would not comment. how
ever, when asked whether his
move was hastened by COM
plants about a European study
trip last summer by Represent
ative Powell, Democrat Of New
York, chairman of the Educa-
ton and Labor Committee.
Amendments Explained
One Of the amendments
would apply to House commit
tees with jurisdiction to make
trips only within the United
States. This amendment would
specifically prohibit such COM
mittee chairmen, members or
staff employees not only from
going abroad at public expense
but also from using local cur
rencies owned by the United
States in foreign countries.
Mr.. Smith said he had heard

eral income taxes while Social
Security is not.
The Presidents tax proposals
10 Congress were necessarily
general in nature, and 1t could
be that the administration will
propose safeguards to protect
Federal annuity holders.
However, the situation is
causing concern among en-
ployes and retired personnel.
When hearings are held by
the House Ways and Means
Committee on the Presidents
proposals. employe leaders
would be well advised TO watch
the situation closely.
Examples Given
Here are some examples OF
how Federal annuitants would
fare under the proposals:
At present. employees who re-
tire on disability annuities do
not have TO pay Federal In
come taxes unless their weekly
annuity averages somewhat
more than 500 a week. until
they reach the regular age OF
retirement. Under Mr.. Ken
nedy's proposal, they would
be subject 10 Federal income
taxes.
A hypothetical employe aged
81 with a wife receives an an
nuity Of $4,000 a year. At
present, his various tax exemp-
tions wipe out his taxes and
he pays nothing. Under Presi-
dent Kennedy's plan. he would
pay S270 next year and. even
with the graduated tax reduc-
ton the following year, he
would have 10 pay 1920 in tax
es in 1865.

this apparently was done in

to make foreign trips.
The second am e n d m n t
