It will be recalled that three years ago when the GOP sen ator from Maine was chairman of the senate war investigating committee, he staged a head line-snatching investigation of the rather far-fetched charge that Hughes had spent govern ment money extravagantly in building a giant amphibious transport plane. It turned out. however, that Brewster had something of an axe to grind for his good friends of Pan American World Airways, and had talked to Hughes earlier about an amalgamation between Pan Ameri can and his Trans World Airlines’. It also turned out, two years later, that Brewster had used the metropolitan police of the District of Columbia to tap Howard Hughes’ phone and put a microphone in his room. In fact, police chief Robert Barrett submitted a report to the justice department almost one year ago that one of his officers, Lieut. Joseph Shimon, had been tapping wires for Senator Brewster’s inves tigating committee. Wire-tapping, of course, is barred by section 603 of the federal com munications act and is a criminal offense.

However, the justice department, after letting the wire-tapping re port gather dust for nine months, finally got around to ordering an FBI investigation. And the most interesting thing the FBI has turned up is a statement made to a G-man by Lieut. Shimon that Senator Brewster’s secretary paid him for his wire-tapping. So far, Shimon has stuck to a very careful story. He admits tap ping Howard Hughes’ phone, but be does not admit much else. Henderson Show Record Impressive Jim Henderson's show record is impressive. In 1946 he had the grand champion barrow and grand champion pen of barrows at the Nebraska state fair; in 1947 his stock took the grand champion rib bon at Ak-Sar-Ben show at Omaha, and he was in the money in all classes at both Iowa state and American Royal shows; in 1948 he was in the money at the National Barrow show at Austin, Minn., and again at the American Royal; in 1949 he won the Oliver Trophy. d rie d be fresh en ed and used if you put ■them in a s tr a in e r and set the s tr a in e r w ith a c o v e r on it o v e r a pot o f b o ilin g w a te r fo r nbout fifte e n m in u te s. to Snowdrifts Baigain NEVER before at this tow price ! • Squosrs handle . it sifts!

Ted Williams was the one best equipped to give Kiner a good fight but the Red Sox star will hit a few more home runs this season. For all of that Williams fared better in the All-Star game than Dizzy Dean. The All-Star game practically drove Dean out of baseball. After being hit on the toe by a line smash. Dizzy attempted to come back too quickly. But he was unable to fin ish his usual hurling motion on his left toe so he attempted to handle his speed and curve ball with an exclusive arm action. This put a heavy strain on his right shoulder. Republican members of the joint economic committee were just as cooperative as Democrats in sup porting President Truman’s call for increased taxes. Even Ohio's rugged individualist. Bob Taft, I went along. "The boys who are being induct ed to fight for us are paying the greatest tax—with life and limb.” declared another Ohioan. Democrat ic representative Walter Huber, dur ing the closed-door meeting. "It's up to us to shoulder the financial arms, though they may be heavy. And those who are profiting from : this war should be taxed the great- 1 ast.'' Even GOP Congressman Robert ("where-are-you-going - to-get - the- tnoney?’’) Rich of Pennsylvania agreed. However, Taft didn't en- ■ thuse over a facetious suggestion i by Huber that the Ohio senator ! sponsor tax increase legislation— never a popular issue in an elec- ’ tion year. "I’ll go along,” grinned Robert Alphonso, who faces a hot reelec tion battle, "but I think the honor of sponsoring this bill belongs to you Democrats, the majority par- I ty. No, I wouldn't deny you that privilege for the world.” o th e r . .. .......... — K iner’s Place After You Alphonse There's no such title ns "Iowa's Champion Hog Bleeder.’’ But If there were, Jim Henderson of Coin, Iowa, would certainly be one of the strongest contenders for that title. Jim started raising purebred Hampshires in a partnership with his father. Arthur Henderson. Just 10 years ago. Last year he showed the grand champion barrow at Iowa's State Fair, brought the Hampshire breed's Oliver Trophy to the state for the first time, and sold a total of 673 pure bred Hampshires for breeding pur poses, believed to be a record for any breeder. The Henderson farm's first reg istered sow, Zephyr Irene, P R 18. was purchased for $25 00. Her pro geny, qualified in production regis try records through eight genera tions, have formed the foundation for the herd. And now the Hendersons raise 1,000 purebred hogs a year and breeding stock from this herd has been sold Into many states. Last fall they sold more than 200 boars, a record In itself. This spring they had three sales, selling 55 head on March 14, 50 head on March 28 and Jim Henderson of Coin, Iowa, another 55 head on April 14. Last one of the outstanding breeders year they sold 573 head for breed In that state and first Iowa win ing purposes at auction sales, plus ner of the Oliver trophy award another 100 at private sales, more ed to the Hampshire breeder than any other I«wa breeder has making the best barrow show sold in any one year.

His operation Is a bit unique in that he never hand feeds or slop feeds, even during the farrow ing period, or prior to taking hogs to sale or show. I never slop hogs and I’m never going to. I sell to market hog men and most of them use self-feeders all the time. If I were to sell them a pampered, hand-fed, slop-fed animal, they might be disappointed if it didn’t do as well as expected on their dairy feed. I never put a hand on hogs, in the way of special feeding, before a sale or show. I Henderson marks some of his haven't time.

They were Rolfe of the Tigers and Sawyer of the Phillies. "I think we have been placed too high,” Red Rolfe said one March afternoon. “I know Jer ry Priddy will help a lot, but we have many more problems.” One was Hal Newhouser who couldn’t lift his left arm. Rolfe had no idea how Groth would come along, as he hadn’t been too hot the year before. The Tigers had no catcher to talk about. No one could figure then that Kell or Ever» would have such a good season. "I think we rate fourth place— possibly third place—but third place seems too high. After all, we have the Red Sox, Yankees and In dians to beat.” It might be remembered the Red Sox looked better then than they have looked since. The American league race is sure to be a hot one. So far the Tigers have been the most consistent squad in the league— where consistency applies to pitching and hitting and pretty fair fielding defense. My guess would be that if any one team beats them out it will be Cleveland’s Indians. The Indians have better pitching than the Yan kees can show. The case of the Phillies has been about the same. Sawyer, a smart manager, one of the best in either league, wasn't sure his young team could finish third again. At that time he didn't know too much about Miller, his young pitcher, and he wasn’t too sure that Curt Simmons would be ready after two or three soggy seasons. Waitkus still had to prove he could handle the wear and tear of a long campaign. • • • generally known, but Roscoe HiUenkoetter. chief of the super-duper spy agen cy, Central Intelligence, had asked for sea duty well before the Korean outbreak. The admiral has done a better job of foreign Intelligence than congress gives him credit for, but he has never been particularly happy in the job and would like to get back to a battleship. Hillenkoetter was former commander of the battle ship Missouri, comes from the state of Missouri, and was picked by Tru man personally for the difficult In telligence assignment. Faced with the admiral's Insis tence that he w’ants to be trans ferred. President Truman has asked Gen. Bedell Smith, former U S. ambassador to Moscow, to take Central Intelligence. Smith, so far. has refused, on the ground that he recently underwent an ulcer opera tion. Therefore, some of the Presi dent's friends are urging that he appoint J. Edgar Hoover to this important post. Hoover Is one of the best or ganizers in government, has built up one of the best-trained investigation bureaus the world has ever seen, and has it in surh good shape that It could operate under a new director. On the other hand, getting intel ligence on a prospective enemy is all-important in this day when a suitcase smuggled into an American harbor, or the flight of one plane across the arctic, or the secret I massing of troops on a certain bor der could cripple the United States indefinitely. That is why a man of Hoover’s genius ought to be used to head an agency which today has become even more important than the F B I.

I don’t believe anyone has had as much fun out of life and living as Dizzy Dean has had. This has been one of his main traits. When he first joined t h e Cardinals in Flor ida around 1930 or 1931, he was just a trifle more than Gabby Street could handle. Dizzy nev- Grantland R lceer ¡jranic. He was in no sense a bad actor. He was never surly or mean. “I first tried fining him,** Gabby said once. "That did no good. I tried bawling him out. He merely grinned. It took some time to find the answer. That was to bar him from the ball park. That was something Dizzy couldn't stand. He had to play ball every day. When 1 threatened to keep him away from the park he was always easy to handle. "I knew I had a 28 or 30 game winner," Gabby said, “a year or two before he came up. But he was also drawing big crowds in Hous ton. And I thought maybe he would grow up. In one way he never did. There was the time, just after he had his tonsils taken out, we were playing the Athletics. They had the bases full with nobody out. “ ‘I wish I was out there pitchin’ to those bums,’ Diz said. "Batters like Simmons, Coch rane and Foxx were coming up. Three big hitters. Wilson winked at me and 1 nodded. W’e sent Diz in. He retired the side with ro runs. His belief in himself was amazing.’’ Pat Moulton, pitching for Shreve port, lost to Dizzy five straight times. Pat was naturally a trifle peeved. He wasn't cooled off when Dizzy said to him after the fifth defeat: "Pat, you’re the luckiest pitcher I ever saw. You’ve lost five times to me but nobody ever roasts you. They don't expect you to beat Ole Diz.” Now 20 years later Diz is having even more fun than he had as a pitching star. Or at least just as much. Life to him Is one big play ground with plenty to laugh at. You hear reports or rumors that they are trying to change him here and there—to smooth him off a little. My tip is they’d better leave him just the way he is. I doubt if anybody could change him any way. « i f 1? » » .
