Brewster’s W ire-Tapping
Interesting new evidence grad
ually accumulates in the justice
department’s belated probe of Sen
ator Brewster’s eavesdropping on
Howard Hughes, the west coast
aviation mogul.
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

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.

With the injury to Ted Williams
it isn’t likely that anyone left is
going to beat Ralph Kiner to the
home-run wire.
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

declared another Ohioan. Democrat

up to us to shoulder the financial
arms, though they may be heavy.
And those who are profiting from

Even GOP Congressman Robert

agreed. However, Taft didn't en-

never a popular issue in an elec-

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

Last March, along the western
coast of Florida, there were two
managers who felt their teams had
been overplayed. 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

There was the time, just after he

playing the Athletics. They had the

Pat Moulton, pitching for Shreve

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

You hear reports or rumors that
they are trying to change him here

little. My tip is they’d better leave
him just the way he is. I doubt if
anybody could change him any
way.
