Becnel pointed out that more than 25,000,000 acres of U.S. crop, range and forest land were treated last year with chemicals sprayed or dusted by airplane. Some 6,000 pilots are engaged in the aerial battle against insect pests, weeds and plant diseases. And they are doing the job faster, more e ffi ciently and in many instances at lower cost than ground distribution cf insecticides, fungicides and herbi cides. Rearming Brakes U.S. School Gains The nation’s schools are again facing a serious crisis, brought on by four m ajor factors: increased enrollments, inflationary costs, lack of building materials and an acute teacher shortage.

Eziffi[KI O M aaww U.S. Isolation SLAM BANG RIGHT-WINGER OF THE BOSTON BRUINS, W H O H OLDS TH E OST disturbing development in the U.S.A. to members of the Churchill party has been the growth of isolationism in certain sections British observers who see the U nit ed States during periodic visits may have an advantage in diagnosing popular changes between those visits. At any rate they compare public sentiment today to tha"t just before Pearl Harbor when the U nit ed States also was torn between Isolation and international participa tion. This, incidentally, appears to be borne out by the Washington Merry- Go-Round poll of Republican candi dates. At the start of this poll, Taft chalked up his greatest strength in the traditionally isolationist m id west; Eisenhower his greatest strength in New England, the South and the Pacific Coast.

I know Maglie, Jansen and Hearn will have good years. I expect to have two more good working pitchers to help out. We’ll miss Eddie Stanky, but we’ll have a good man in his place.

HEN big Don Newcombe was officially announced as defi nitely heading for the army, we ran into Leo Durocher. “ N aturally,” Leo said, "losing a pitcher with Newcombe's stuff isn’t going to help any team. It wouldn't help us to l o s e Maglie, Jansen or Hearn. But this isn’t going to break the D o d g e r s. either. They have too good a ball club to have any one man w r e c k them. But Chuck Grjntlind Rice Dressen must rus tle h i m s e l f a pretty fair pitching staff. He has a good starter in Preacher Roe There's a pitcher—a great one.’’ Durocher didn’t care to comment on how Branca. King, Labine, Ers kine, Podbielan and the others would make out. Certainly Newcombe’s absence gives the Giants a much better chance to win. Newcombe has never quite worked to his potential ability as ids career down the hot stretch proved late last summer. But he could be good and might have found himself this year. “ What about Willie Mays?’’ I asked Leo. “ Not a word about him .’’ the Giant manager said. “ But we’ ll have a good ball club,’’ he said “ You were right in saying our ball club was in fine condition when we left St. Pete. I never had a ball club in better shape. We were rearing to go on the side. Our pitchers were all set. I was dead sure we'd get away flying. And then we drop 11 straight and almost fall out of the league. How can a ball club drop 11 straight in April and May and then win about 80 per cent of its games to come from behind in August and September? When you see things like that happen you get afraid to make any predic tions.’’ I asked Leo which of the Giants he expected to have a big year. point. It concerned handling ball players — the ballplayers of today. "The old-time rough-riding man agers couldn't have gotten away with their stuff.” he said. "They would very soon have run into mu tinies and near riots with the bunch today. “ In the old days managers were handling ballplayers getting from $2.000 to $4,500 a year. Lajoie jumped the Phillies when he asked for a raise from $2,500 to $3,000. Joe Jackson and Ed Walsh, two of the greatest, got $4.000 or $4.500. But the good average player was far cheaper. You could bawl those fellows out—or give them a ride. MENTHOIATUM REUEVeO Hfft HEAD-COLD MISERY ACHE/ CHE4T MUSCLES “ You can’t do that with fel lows getting from $15,000 to $75,- 000 or S'HI.OOO. How Is a $10 000 manager going to ride a $90.000 ballplayer? These fellows today, many of them, arc well fixed with comfortable homes, an au tomobile, nice clothes and va rious luxury items. And the ballplayer loday Is also a higher type. Many of them are col lege graduates. Few old rough necks break In any more.” " I only wish they did.’’ 1 sug gested. “ So do I.’’ Leo said. “ But not too many of them. I could stand a few like Waddell, Sherry Magee, Mike Donlin, etc. But this is a different bunch today. Just a few years back and you could see A1 Dark scoring touchdowns for LS. U.; Allie Reynolds doing the same for Oklahoma A. & M., or Kluszew- ski for Indiana. Ballplayers today are serious minded, working hard at their Jobs. You can’t handle them like galley slaves. Maybe they live better than you do.’’ • • • Who said ‘Over’? “ Now that the football season Is over,” a w rite r starts his piece. Over for how long in many places? About three weeks and then "spring practice" w ill be under way a-fain. I t ’s not over. We have never felt that spring practice, held under cor rect supervision, is wrong In any way. It is the ovrrindul- gence In this part of football that cuts In too heavily on a student’s time. Spring practice wouldn't be harm ful if lim ited to 20 or 24 days, with each practice session held to an hour and a half. But in many places it runs on for two or three months and often uses up three hours of an afternoon. From 20 to 24 days, held Io an hour and a half, could produce no damage. It is the only part of foot ball that isn’t overpublicized. T h i average young college player can • • ♦ use this spring instruction to certain The Modern Ballplayer advantages.

What Counla STATE OF THE UNION — Was it a wiser or politically minded President who delivered the state of the union message to the second session of the 82nd congress?

The 1 world s till walks in the shadow of another world war, he said. But his approach to taxation, compulsory health insurance, civil rights, and other controversial is sues was so amiable that it left PRESIDENT TREMAN many Republican critics speech less. In fact. Republicans, who ob viously were all set for a field day of criticism , found little about which to demonstrate. The main criticism , when it was a ll over, was the charge that the speech was just a rehash of past messages. Generally, Democrats praised the message. But from the opposition came such statements as: “ The same broken record . . .” “ The President’s speech could be charac terized as follows: spend more, waste more, socialize more, give more away, control more, talk more, and blame the other fellow for all the ills of the United States and the world.” The fire and stubborn fight of the Truman of old was so obviously ! lacking that it seemed almost apathetic to many home towners who heard the address. , PRODUCTION— Production of civilian goods for the second quarter of 1952 has been cut back sharply. Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson announced the government has ordered home building slashed by 23 per cent for the months of A p ril, May and June. Automobile output was slashed by 7 per cent and other consumer goods using scarce mate rials were trim m ed 10 per cent. This is the general- picture for the second quarter: Construction—Home building, now at a rate of 850.000 a year, w ill be slashed to a rate of 660.000. Only factories v ita lly needed for defense production w ill be built, and little m aterial w ill be available for office buildings, stores, and othergcommercial construction. Autos—The industry w ill get enough copper and aluminum to make 800,000 cars and enough steel to make 900,000. C ivilian Goods—Most consumer goods, including refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, television sets, and radios, w ill be cut by about 10 per cent from the firs t quarter. Railroad Equipment—Freight car production w ill be reduced about 14 per cent below the 20,000-car output for the firs t quarter. Roads—Only the most urgent road building w ill be permitted. Ships—Allotments to the M aritim e Administration w ill be increased.
