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

Isolation and international participa
tion.
This, incidentally, appears to be
borne out by the Washington Merry-

chalked up his greatest strength in
the traditionally isolationist m id

Eisenhower his greatest

HEN big Don Newcombe was
officially announced as defi

into Leo Durocher.

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.

“ You can’t do that with fel
lows getting from $15,000 to $75,-

manager going to ride a $90.000
ballplayer? These fellows today,
many of them, arc well fixed
with comfortable homes, an au

rious luxury items. And the

type. Many of them are col

" I only wish they did.’’ 1 sug

not too many of them. I could

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.
