INJUNCTION UPHELD
OF 'WINDFALL TAX1
INTJTANAPOUS. Sept. 30. (AF
Judg Robert 0. BaltwU of the U. S.
district oourt today rejected the gov
ernment'a motion for dismissal of the
Injunction suit brought by Klngan
and company to prevent collection
of the "windfall tax" Imposed by
congress on refunds made after In
validation of the agricultural adjust
ment tax.
Court attaches said the Judge's rul
ing la the first in the numerous suite,
on file throughout the country con
testing collection of the tax.
Klngan a.nd company, a local pack
ing concern, paid 3.500.000 In pro
cessing taxes under the AAA. Under
the so-called "windfall Ux" the com
pany could be required to return up
to 80 per cent of the refunded tax.
The government sought dismissal
of the injunction suit on the ground
there Is no authority In law for re
straining collection of a tax. The
tax must be paid, the government
contended, nnd then action may be
brought to obtain a refund.

HUBBELL YIELDS
SEVEN SAFETIES

Yankee Infield Comes Un
fastened in Eighth Frame
When Giants Push Over
Four Counters in Opener
By Edward J. Neil
Associated Press Sports Writer. :
POLO GROUNDS, New York, Sept.
3C (AP) Big Fed Ruffing and the
Yankee Infield blew up In the rain
vlth a resounding roar In the eighth
inntng today, giving the Giants and
Carl Hubbell an easy 0 to 1 victory
in the miserably wet setting of the
opening game of Manhattan's world
series.
Hubbell was struggling along with
a 3 to 1 lead In the downpour that
drove many of the sub-capacity crowd
of about 45.000 to cover, when the
geme blew up In a riot of hlU and
errors on the mud sogged paths and
slippery grass In the Giants hall1 of
the eighth.
Bill Terry, first to appear through
the murk, rammed a single to center
and then Mel Ott beat out a swinging
bunt, catching the Yankee Infield
napping, for a hit that put hie man
ager on second. Jimmy Ripple, fresh
man outfielder, sacrificed both along
a base.
After passing Gus Mancuso Inten
tional 1 y, Ru f f Ing lost con trol and
walked Burgess Whitehead, forcing
Terry in with the first run. Ott
counted the second run on Travis
Jackson's long fly to center for the
cecond out.
Immediately thereafter the Yankee
balloon went up Into the grey clouds
that haunted the big National league
ball yard all day. Carl Hubbell sliced
a dinkey hit off Tony Lazzert's glove
down by second base. Frank Crosettl
picked it up, tried to catch Mancuso
crossing the plate, and heaved wildly
to catch BUI Dickey.
Bill tore after the ball to the screen
tack of the plate, picked It up and
heaved it past Ruffing who was de
fending the platter against the In
come charge of Whitehead. The ball
rolled to mid Infield where Lazzerl
stalked it carefully, looked it over.
then picked it up disgustedly as
though It were a hand grenade.
Mercifully Joe Moore grounded to
Crosettl to end the inning four run
scored on three hits, two walk, and
two errora.

By J). HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. (AP) Plunging into a mass of state business
before resuming his traveling campaign for re-election. President Roose

night in which he repudiated the support of any "alien Msm." .
Both the president and his aides
took tlmo first to not the reaction
to his speech at Syracuse before the
New York stat Democratic conven

publican leadership was "employing
smooth evasion" on social security,
taxation and other issues, and stirred
speculation in political quarters by
his mention of Alfred B. Smith.
Conference Slate Full.

Before the applauding Democratic
gathering last night in the first
speech labeled by him as political
since his acceptance address, Mr.
Roosevelt took note of recent asser
tions that he had accepted the sup
port of communist forces. In a
sharply spoken reply he urged the
country to "bury that red herring
and destroy that false Issue."
"I have not sought, I do not seek;
I repudiate the support of any ad
vocate of communism or of any other
alien Msm' which would by fair means
or fqul change our American democ

, Weak Leadership Blamed.
Without mentioning former Repub

"weak leadership" and "conditions
congenial to communism were being
