The St. Louis Cardinals, who have been chasing the Brooklyn Dodgers practically from the start of the season, might be occupying the top soot in the Na tional League today were It not for former teammates now with rival clubs. The latest ex-Card to help sub due his former teammates is SI Johnson, 38-year-old pitcher of the Bolon Braves, who wore a St. Louis unllorm from 1H3G throueh 1938. The veteran righthander turn ed back the Cardinals 4-3 last night at St. Louis. The deieat pushed the Cards back a game and a half to the pace-sotting Dodgers, who whipped the last place Pittsburgh Pirates B-Z. Johnson joins a host of other ex-Cards who have been directly responsible fur St. Louis losses this season.- Mort Cooper, John son's pitching mate, owns two triumphs over the Cards and Pitchers Marry Gumnert of On rlnnati and Al Jurisich of the Phillies have one victory apiece. Oscar Judd, a former member of the Card organization and now with the Phils, has beaten them three times while Pittsburgh's Fritz Ostermueller has done It twice and the Phils' Ken Raffcns bcrgcr once. Williams Ties Vernon Dave Ferrlss, the Boston Red Sox' sensational sonhomorc, hurl ed his 22nd mound triumph, but needed help after giving up 14 hits In five and one third innings. Staked to an 11-1 lead over the St. Louis Browns after two Inn ings, Ferrlss was banged for six more runs before being removed In the sixth and the Sox went on 1o win 12-9. It was Ferrlss' 10th victory In a row. Ted Williams, with three singles In three offi cial times at bat, tied Washing ton's Mickey Vernon for the American League batting leader ship at .315. The New York Yankees swept n doubleheader from the Chicago White Sox, 10-1 and 5-4, winning the second game In the 12th Inn ing when Llndell led off with a triple and, after Relief Pitcher Caldwell walked two men pur posely to load thy bases, scored on Pinch Hitter B:tU;n's single Joe DIMaggio, with a homer in each Rame, extended his consecu tive hitting streak to 13 games.

STANTON Recommendation by the city's legal committee that an entirely new charter be prepared for the City of Roseburg is, in our opinion, well worth adoption by the council. The committee, appointed to aid the city attorney in legal phases of an amendment which would permit a city manager form of government, if approved by the city's voters, has had occasion to do a little research into Roseburg's antiquated charter. Committee members are convinced that the old document should be scrapped, to be replaced by one more in keeping with the city's rapid development. The recommendation was made to the council in connec tion with the proposed ordinance which would call an elec tion, to be held simultaneously with the general election in November, to pass upon the city manager proposal. The city manager amendment, the council was told, is complete, except for such changes as may be suggested by the policy committee. The plan for complete charter revi sion should not be permitted to delay action on the city manager program. The proposed amendment postpones change to city man ager form of government until July 1, 1947, the beginning of the fiscal year. Personally, we believe that if the city manager system of government is desirable it should be provided at the earliest possible date, preferably, Jap. 1, 1947. City Attorney I. B. Riddle, however, contends that financial complications make it impossible to inaugurate the new system, providing it meets approval from voters until July 1, when the budget for the next fiscal year be comes effective. Although taxes to meet expense of the department will not be collected until November, 1947, the city will have power, if the plan is adopted by voters, to issue warrants pending collection of tax income. We rather imagine that if an aggressive spirit were shown toward the city manager idea, it would not be diffi cult to find a legal method for getting the program under way by the first of the year, but half a year is better than nothing. Getting back to the proposition of a new charter, how ever, there should, we believe, be little delay in starting the ball rolling. It will be a long, tedious job to write a new charter. A great deal of research should 'be done, together with a greater amount of original planning. We can no longer expect to govern efficiently a city moving as rapidly as is Roseburg with a charter designed for the horse-and-buggy days. Efficiency and speed in city government are decidedly handicapped in many ways by the rules which now govern the council s organization and authority. In connection with the proposed charter revision, Council man Percy Croft has offered the suggestion that terms of council members be staggered, which, also seems a good idea. Under our present charter an entire city ticket must be chosuh at fic time. While it seldom happens that an entire now body of city officors is nominated and elected, there is nothing to prevent such occurrence, leaving the city government without a-single, experienced officer. It is better? we believe, that there always be, as members of the city's administrative body, men who are familiar with pro cedure, policies, etc., giving the ticw members who may be elected from time to time an opportunity to break in gradu ally, rather than having the entire process of government disrupted while a totally new set of officers become acquaint ed with their duties. It is our sincere hope that there will be no greater delay than necessary in getting the city manager form of govern ment before the people for a vote, and into operation at the earliest practicable date, if approval is given, and that a new charter be prepared and submitted to voters at a later date, to furnish authority to the manager and council in producing city administration of the highest possible grado of efficiency.

(P) A major row broke Into the" open today over congressional In vestigation of this year's election campaigns. ine issues whlcn sharply spilt two special committees set up to do the job are: 1. How fast the Inquiries should proceed. 2. The procedure to be followed In certain cases, such as looking Into the role of the ClO's Politi cal Action Committee. The fuss was pointed up today by a statement from Representa tive Leo Allen (R., 111.) that elec tion law violations "are being encouraged" by what he termed committee "stalling and delay." Allen, No. 1 Republican on the House Campaign Expenditures Committee, told a reporter he has considered resigning because he is "so disgusted with the lack of action" by his group. The com mittee has not met since Speaker Rayburn named it early this month. Allen said he "cannot under, stand" why Representative O'Neal (D., Ky.) has not started an investigation. O'Neal has made no comment since Rayburn annoyed southern Democrats by choosing him Instead of Repre sentative Dnmengeauz (D La.) as chairman. Domengeaux had pledged an all-out inquiry Into the CIO's activities. Fight Over CIO Looms There have been reports that O'Neal intends to withdraw from the group, but no one in author ity has boon willing to comment on them. Allen acknowledged that "there wil be quite a light" over the CIO when the committee does begin operations. The Senate Campaign Expendi tures Committee conducted hear ings in July on the -Montana pri mary, but a controversy inter rupted and it has not acted since. An aide said today, however, that Chairman Ellender (D., La.) ex pects to call a meeting the first week of September. One point at issue in the Senate group was the activity of Robert B. Barker, whom some of the committee members authorized to conduct hearings in Montana. LOSE WEIGHT SAFELY WITHOUT EXERCISE Take off welaht eacn week. Eat plenty. No drugs.
